This may be to our advantage....

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but I have checked the weather forecast and it is suppose to rain Sunday, and at certain times it is suppose to get pretty nasty...

Offensively we are a team that relies more on the run, and the Eagles are a more verticle team... bad weather favors a running game more than it does a passing game

the bad weather may force the Eagle to run more than they want to, and if one of our DTs (Hayden, Leonard, Harris) actually plays well, we may literally run away with this game.

I think the weather just improved our odds to win

GO RAIN!

I dunno...we sure haven't stop the run yet.

Fvck that! I am not going to sit and watch a game in the rain! :iamwithstupid:

Tailgating is gonna suck too.

From the view we got in the preseason, we are not in a position to even think our defense can shut down another team’s running game (especially one with Westbrook and McCoy, who looked decent in the preseason).

It does not look too nasty to me. Im hearing a pretty nice day.

The Eagles are a vertical team?

The Eagles are a vertical team?

Horizontally speaking......yes. I'm up for it...are you?

Even if we struggle with the run, if the rain hinders their passing game, we can stuff 8 in the box, which is more than enough to slow down an aging Westbrook. And with their West Coast offense, 8 in the box still puts us in position to stop the short completions. Meanwhile, there ain't a team in this league that can shut down our two-headed (maybe three-headed if Stewart is ready) rushing attack. Definite Panther advantage in the rain.

I saw on Weather.com that it is supposed to be Partly Cloudy with a chance of isolated Thunderstorms...30% chance. That seem par for the course for summer weather in Charlotte.

And Weaver blocking in front of them. :ihih:

P.S. we aren't hurting at the Linebacker position like the Eagles are. Their stud MLB is done for the year, and Omar Gaither is the starter. That = pwnage

and he has started before.

Start Moise Fokou!

Don't the eagles have westbrook? so why is running a lot a bad thing for them?
