I dont buy that. We have a coach IMO who understands how to stop a west coast offense better than any other. He understands it and knows how to take things away.
We have the talent to match that intelligence and it showed last year. The eagles made no big plays on us, I believe they will hit a big play or two this week but I dont think it will be one of those walk in the park TDs the niners and packers have been giving up.
I dont think the officials will have anything to do with this game unless there are personal fouls from all the emotions, I heard the marcus spears show tonight with Jason ferguson and they pretty much dislike the eagles players. Ferguson made reference to last year when they scored and mcnabb was dancing and all the players were talking trash and celebrating from one measly touchdown.
That speaks volumes to me. The eagles have a depth problem I believe and if we just make them drive the length of the field and do the same to them on offense, I think we can wear them out. They have not played a 60 minute game yet this year.
I really believe this is going to be an outstanding game and you have to favor the eagles right now because of the emotion and mcnabb knows whats on the line here, he cant lose. The city will turn on him if he has a poor game.
Aikman said tonight on the marcus spears show that fox has doubled their security for the pregame show for jimmy johnson and in the booth for aikman because of the eagles fans and how they are treated, aikman said he still gets the same crap as he did when he plays...
anyway, back to my original point I think we have the best coach versus the west coast offense and I believe our defense is built to stop the west coast offense. The giants in the 80s were the only team to ever really give the niners trouble almost every time they played, steve young always claimed it was because the linebackers always held the tight ends and wr, but in reality it is because of the knowledge of the scheme and the defensive personnel to counter it.
Game on.
