this will hurt their D:

I'm usually an optimist, but not feeling good about this one.
Go Birds?!

With the Steelers losing, could this be a 0 for Pennsylvania night in the NFL? Eagles needs to play lights out for that to not happen.

Good, good. Come to the dark side, Grant.

 

[Psu00]

I think we’ll see in the opening minutes how this game will go. More half a$$ed defense and just going through the motions on O and PA could be shut out today.

C’mon eagles!! For the love of God, get some fire and anger and surprise us all tonight!

No one is, all the experts just picked the Bucs on ESPN

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Well, all Birds fans can at least enjoy this as we wait for the kickoff of tonight's playoff game.

 

[s1uggo72]

IMO the Eagles will play good on O. The D line has to play up to their abilities and draft slots

for whatever reason, that hasn't happened in over a month. The Birds only chance to overcome their injuries and shortcoming in the defensive backfield is for their DL to return to their level of play of the 1st half of the season.

I know but why is that? Heart? Over rated ability? Motivation? Or just worn out??

 

[s1uggo72]

This could be the key!!

You’re an optimist? You’re not a true Philly fan then.

the $64,000 question, for which nobody seems to have an answer

Well I would start w playing Jalen Carter more snaps and I’d game plan him over the slowest OG or the one with the worse feet

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[s1uggo72]

This looks hauntingly familiar

 

[NittPicker]

Might be a long night. The defense still looks bad. The tackling still sucks.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

good grief, Bradberry, make the tackle

 

[BobPSU92]

Bradberry. Oof.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

They are beatable

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Birds D finally comes alive when the Bucs get in the red zone.

Bucs with a 28-yard FG to take the lead, 3-0, with 10:02 left in the 1st qtr

 

[LionJim]

They are beatable

[Not Jack Hammer]

Run the ball

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Love jones

 

[Not Jack Hammer]

I genuinely don’t understand what they are doing on offense

 

[s1uggo72]

Looks like even after the NYG game we still didn’t work on blitz pickup

 

[nittanyfan333]

I mean, how do you not run the ball twice on 3rd and 2???

 

[s1uggo72]

Now can the D make a play?

 

[BobPSU92]

Nope.
