Absolutely agree, Payton has learnt the tough way to keep the gas pedal down.

I hope this 2 weeks off has given them time to get back to midseason form.

Eagles are saying we ran up the score so they will arrive with a chip on their shoulder. Will be a tough game, Foles is better than Wentz.

But I suppose last season when they played the Vikings they didn't run up the score.

FWIW, the Saints game was in the regular season, the iggles was for the NFCC.

True. Foles is a good player however he doesn't push defenses around.

According to stats, he's thrown 5 INT's over the last 2 weeks. I saw quite a few ducks thrown last week. D line pressure will be key.

** Trivia question for B&G **

Q: When was the last time Nick Foles lost a playoff game????

A: It was against the Saints

Run up the score by pulling starters slowly on both offense and defense
If they wanted us to stop playing maybe they should have pulled their own QB and stop trying to close the gap and just ran the game out

All this Iggles whining about us running up the score during the last game is a bunch of crybaby BS. We scored our last touchdown in the BEGINNING of the 4th quarter, and our last FG 5 minutes into the the 4th qtr. Jenkins & Peters are showing their feminine side.

every team and matchup is different but this is my point. Does anyone think their offense is anywhere close to the Pittsburgh offense? Do they have anywhere nearthat tandem of rec? They put up 28. Do you think the Eagles are going to do that? Does anyone think they can keep our offense under 30?

The only way we lose this game is if their dline dominates our oline.

That's how Dallas did it, and I don't see the Eagles bringing that kind of domination up front to the contest.

exactly, and they have two really athletic lb's that were able to put in really good work against AK. The Eagles don't have that..

But that is the only way. It has been 9 weeks since armistead was originally injured. He came back against Pitt and then was reinjured. Not sure if that made it regress or meant he wasnt ready. Wil be 3 weeks since then, hope it is fully healed now.

Bushrod should be a go, 5 weeks should heal a hammy
