What Eagles Fans Are Saying

I infiltrated their official board. I bring to you their thoughts on the upcoming match.

I see them as a similar team to the Titans. Good defense, mobile QB who can make plays out of nothing but struggles to consistently make the easy plays. However, I do feel like McCaffery is a guy we gotta zero in on so I give them the edge over the Titans. But we're playing at home where we play so much better defensively so long as it's not against Cousins.

 

Sounds right. CMC is so much to this offense, focusing on him would be smart. Or, just double Manhertz. Either way.

I think Cam is much better than Mariota. 

Cam is a good QB who clearly has proven that he can win in this league with the right talent around him. However, it doesn't seem like the Panthers are putting the right talent around him. Cam was at his best when they had a heavy rushing attack with Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Now they have McCaffery who isn't the same kind of north/south back. I don't know football well enough to say what exactly the issue is, but I don't think McCaffery is a) untilized correctly in that offense or b) is the right type of RB for a QB like Cam Newton. That offense also needs to get DJ Moore more involved. 

On a side note, I think McCaffery would be best as a slot receiver. No, not because he's white, I thought the same of Reggie Bush. 

Carolina's defense also seems to be on the steady decline. 

 

 

Yes, Cam is much better than Marcus. And yes, the defense does seem to be in a steady decline this season.

This is going to be a tough game. Carolina are no pushovers despite not being good. 

 

I mean, the Panthers are 3-2. I am not sure you can say they aren't good.

It depends which CAR team shows up and which Eagles team shows up Sunday, but on paper we seem to have the advantage.

 

This is correct on all accounts.

 

Dammit, I hate it when I agree with so many opposing fans.

Wentz did pretty well against us at a time when our defense was playing a lot better than they are now.

That's a big concern for me this Sunday.

This is a low expectations game for me. I am expecting a bad loss. A tight loss would be a moral victory. A win would get me excited.

I can agree with that outlook.

I'm hoping this is not one of those seasons where we win the games were expected to lose but lose the ones we should win.

The comment about the Panthers running game, and finding the right fit for a QB like Cam is one that definitely has some relevancy. In the second season of a top 10 draft pick we need to start getting a consistent return out of our run game outside of Cam Newton, or we need to switch up the offense.

They are a lot more reasonable than most teams fans. 

I agree with most of it. I do think part of the problem is CMC isnt being used properly, but the Panthers havent had a heavy rushing attack to help Cam in years. Cam IS the heavy rushing attack. His back probably hurts from carrying this offense for 8 years.

You sure you aren't an Aints fan because that is how their fans talk.

This is true but imo we only lost bc Luke went out start of the second quarter iirc. And their offense was much much more explosive so it should even out they've lost some fire power offensively.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
