We are going to win this football game.

I was hesitant at first, as the Eagles match up extremely well to our strengths, but I still thought there was the chance of a win. With Lane Johnson out, and Fletcher Cox not healthy, this swings the advantage to us, especially on a short week in our house. Make no mistake, Carson Wentz is elite, but if we blitz his right side the entire game, run the ball down their throats, and use the size outside to our advantage, we will win.

 

Carolina - 31

Philadelphia - 24 

Cam Newton - 250 yards, 2 tds, 65 rush yards 
Jonathan Stewart/CMac - 85 rush yards, 70 yards receiving, 2 tds

Maybe you didn’t watch last week but we would’ve struggled to run against a CFL team.

Ironically, the Lions literally followed their game-plan: focus on the run, not the pass.

That killed them. We couldn't run (as expected), but they couldn't defend the pass. Cam easily picked off their zone for the win.

And if it rains tonight and the Eagles primary focus becomes stop the run at all costs?

Looks like less than 20% of it happening according to weather.com

Nice

Back in the day with Delhomme and double trouble... yep give me rain every Sunday but not with Cam and especially not with the way he’s been throwing the ball the last two weeks

Add in the weather and if this becomes a battle of the run games, we’re in serious trouble 

Got to hope for no rain

Rain isn’t supposed to start till the 3rd quarter. We’ll be fine

Cam will not have 65 rushing yards. He might have 10.

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
