About those losses to the Eagles

I think the Eagles are the best team in football had disguising their blitzes and Eli just can’t get a grasp on where the pressure is coming from.
 Now for KG, he needs to do a better job of calling quick hitters on passing downs and try to establish the run and stick to it, this being said, if the defense gives up few quick scores we are in serious trouble, it’s time to step up Gmen, the Eagles have owned you of late and the time is now to take back whats yours, and that is being the physically and mentally tougher team.
 “There is no tomorrow Gmen, there is no tomorrow!”

and that’s why i think the infusion of new blood: Rouse, Goff, Sintim, Boley….may play to our advantage.

I think their blitz schemes give us fits and their secondary is very very intelligent. No communication issues w/ them. When they’re blitzing, the corners jump routes…and when they’re not they’re often dropping would be blitzers into coverage….thus disguising their defense very well.

the Giants are due in this?

I mean…the thing that’s more rare than a 3 game streak in these series…is a 4 game streak.

the Eagles are our kryptonite. they’re strongest where we’re weakest. Eli hates pressure, and they are king in the land of pressure. asante samuel is nmandi lite, so that takes half the field away. they’re adept at the long ball; up until recently we had bad bad cc brown attempting to stop that.

i’m confident, and nervous at the same time. we are healthier than them this time. i was not impressed with that ATL win. it looked nasty; but they let the falcons hang around a long time before they put that foot on that throat. had ATL had matty ice and the burner, we might be singing a different song about the bird brains this week. As he finally showed last week, Jacobs is deceivingly fast. he ran a 4.45 lets not forget. so it’s not like he can’t run the sweeps, and the plays outside. utilize him to his fullest! go to alot of 3 wide sets and use all 3 of our gazelles, someone has to get open. run big boy out of that same set, make it hard for them to key in on run or pass. get boss involved in that pass game, the birds don’t cover TE’s well.

we can do it.

need to be baited in, then pounced on. You show them the slant a couple of times and when the corner jumps it, you run a slant and go. You pump fake one way to get the safety to bite and throw the other way. The Eagles D is good at sniffing out screen passes, so you go screen pass to Boss or those wide receiver screens. Take what the defense gives you. You don’t get many opportunities for big plays, so you take the shorter passes. We can win this if we can keep their offense off the field long enough to give our defense a rest every once in a while. Sustained drives and moving the ball whether by run or short passes is our best bet.

We won the first round last week. Now we need to win round two to advance. If we lose it’s over.

I hate that’s it’s a late game. I hate waiting all day for the game to begin.

That’s what scares me, more than a one-head-shot-from-retirement Westbrook or DeSean Jackson or a frankenstein with McNabb’s right and Vick’s left. There HAS to be someone on this team that can cover a tight end. Rouse + Boley? I dunno, but we can’t have another Witten-like performance.

Is it Sunday, yet?

by a team will determine who wins.

We have made mistakes (be it turnovers, dropped passes, overrun plays, missed tackles) the last three games against the Eagles and you cannot do that if you want to win.

So we need a turnover free game from the offence and everyone catching the ball (ie Smith do not drop them in the EZ like last week) and the defence to not give up 30+ yard plays, to not miss tackles and be out of position, to make 3rd down stops and force turnovers.

If we do the above we can win the game.
