Welcome and good luck to you and your team Saturday. As I am sure you will hear from every media talking head our opponent this week is the fact that it's a road game even more so than it's a quality opponent in the Eagles. Your team definitely has a lot to respect in a dangerous and elusive run game, a QB who doesn't make many mistakes, a WR mismatch to our secondary, a TE mismatch to our LBers and a solid o-line. Your defense has man playmakers and is probably better than the yards or points they have given up over the season.

Our lack of dedication to our run game is a concern for me. Payton seems intent on forcing the pass. As a result we need a sharp day from Brees, Colston, Graham and the rest of the weapons. Protection is concerning as well. Defensively I am less concerned. Our front seven is stout and can put heat on. Once or twice a game we have issues with gap or edge responsibility. Our secondary is the same. Will be solid and challenge for 99% of the game and blow a coverage or two and/or allow a mismatch to occur because of blitz scheme.

To come away victorious we need to start very strong and get an early lead. Our run game needs to hold you accountable and not allow your back 7 to cheat the pass. We will definitely need to win or tie the turnover ratio and not waste our red zone opportunities without getting points to overcome a tough team and a definite home field advantage.

Hey, Iggles fan! Welcome. I live in Lansdale boss and grew up in S. Jerz. Very familiar with the Eagles and their fans. I am an Eagles hater, lol.

I think you guys present a pretty good challenge for us. Your defense on the backend does not worry me. If we can give Drew time (a major problem for us on the road this year) I think this game will be interesting. I do not think the Eagles have a defensive line as good as the Rams, Seahawks, or Panties, but you guys have a solid rush.

My personal feeling on the biggest difference for you from last year is your offensive line. They have been really good. Foles, Foles is not a great QB in the sense that he has a massively strong arm. He doesn't, but he is very poised and doesn't make a ton of mistakes. I think you have found a good one.

What worries me most about this game, being on the road, in the cold, not having Greer or Vaccaro, and our lack of protecting Drew on the road.

Outside of Talib (and his foot injury), and our OLIne, no one has stopped JG.

What determines this game to me is whether or not we protect Drew. If we protect Drew I think we can get the win.

Your team stinks

Also welcome, I think for us defensively--we have to somehow contain shady, not necessarily stop him, he's way too good for that, but slow him by containing the edges. Our ends over commit frequently, we need to stay home; and we have to hit him every time he doesn't touch the ball. EVERY time, this primarily keeps the timing of the screen game in check (at least to a certain degree). I thought Dallas did a good job on the corners/edge and although Shady had a good game, at least Dallas had a chance at the end. D Jax also scares me and Celek could have a big day. For you, your gonna need to make every offensive play a struggle, if we get into a smooth tempo you are in trouble. If you blitz us, you better make the play, or Drew will torch you. As far as Jimmy, like others have said, it seems he's not into the physical aspect of the game (contact).

Best of luck to you sir.

I just hope its a well called game.

We've all seen way too many games decided by a blown call, some very blatantly blown. The Saints have been victims of at least two blown calls that cost us W's, and if you count that absurd personal foul call against Strief in the @Carolina game, 3 games.

Yeah, bro. Seriously, on both sides.
