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.

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.

    • There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years. 
    • All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens
    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
