What Eagles Fans Are Saying...

[Jeremy Igo]

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.

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

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.

I’d love for an opposing fan base to create this same thread for us, so they mosey on over to the huddle and the first thread they open is one of @SCP smack talk threads. They would probably read it and cry.

Anyone who has watched long enough to remember 2003 knows how terrible eagles fans are.

"Eagles fans" and "discussion" don't go hand in hand.

probably something about a cheesesteak sandwiches and Ben Franklin.

@MurkN that’s pretty good. Was laughing my ass off when he was talking about Star.

Dang that video would have been less than 1 minute long it he left off the durdy words and "you feel me" nonsense.

 

but I take it that he likes the panthers more than the iggls 

[Peppers90 NC]

Dang Cam doesn’t play well when he gets hit a lot. Can we please draft or trade for a QB that plays even better the more they are hit? Is Wentz available for trade?

Last year's Cam would get eaten alive by this team. This year's Cam has the weapons to counter there aggressive pass rush.
