What Eagles Fans Are Saying...

I have infiltrated the official message board of the Philadelphia Eagles, which is nearly as busy as the huddle. My login name is one that was inspired by @Johnny Rockets and the day he saw a framed Jaworski jersery randomly in Birkdale. I bet he still remembers that moment. 

Anywho, here are some things the Eagles fans are saying in their locked down forum. 

 

On hitting Cam

Quote

Hit Cam early and often. He gets frustrated and it throws his game off.

Quote

Hit Cam. A lot. Look at what the Broncos did in the SB. They didn't let him run wild all over them and knocked him down every chance they got. He got frustrated and started flailing around and crying like a child. 

Can't say I argue with this, as long as the hits are legal and not headhunting or after the whistle. If Cam's jersey can stay clean on Thursday like it did in Detroit, I like the Panthers chances a whole lot. 

 

On stopping the Panthers

Quote

On defense it'll all be about discipline.  Newton can extend plays and will either run for first downs, or has one of the strongest arms and limitless range down field.  Our d-line needs to be sure not to over-pursue Cam, and our secondary needs to stick with their guys all the way through the play.  Easier said than done of course.

Contain Cam, cover in the secondary. Got it. Man, not having Greg Olsen is really hindering the opposing fans ability to strategerize. 


On the Panthers receivers

Quote

 

I actually like our chances quite a bit. Our run defense is strong, I'm not overly worried about Stewart/McCaffery. They have pretty good WRs, but they're big physical receivers and not so much speed guys. I think this plays into the strength of the Eagles CBs.

 

 

 

Agree here. Eagles do pretty well against the larger possession receivers. Unfortunately, that is all the Panthers have. 

 

On the Panthers potent offense

Quote

They've scored on 12 of their last 18 drives the last two games. I did not include the drives where they ran out the clock. That's hard to hang with.

I didn't know that. Cool stat. Like I said, Shula is a mastermind. 

 

Overall, Eagles fans seem pretty realistic about this game. Most score predictions I have seen have the Eagles winning by one score.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
