What Eagles Fans Are Saying

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

Quote


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.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
