Eagles quarterback Nick Foles must not try to make this game a battle between himself and Drew Brees. He can’t try to do too much. Foles must take care of the football, like he has been doing all year, as well as focus on taking what the defense gives him. He doesn’t need to force anything. The Birds have plenty of weapons to help him. All he needs to do is get the ball to the playmakers.
Brees is a great player and he’s going to make some plays, that have us all shaking our heads, but the game will still be there to win. The Saints don’t have a good running game, so the Birds defense should be able to make the Saints totally one dimensional. They will get the chance to pick off some of Brees’ passes and they must catch those interceptions.
The New Orleans Saints run defense surrendered 4.6 yards a carry during the regular season, so the Eagles must feature NFL leading rusher LeSean McCoy in their game plan. The Eagles offensive line must dominate. If they can get Shady going, it’s going to open up the passing game for big plays and hopefully help the Birds get a lead.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Saints defense overcommits themselves to trying to stop McCoy and thereby open up plenty of big plays in the passing game. Rex Ryan is sure to blitz the Eagles, so Foles will get some chances to make them pay by going attacking one-on-one coverage situations.
Stopping Brees and the Saints offense isn’t going to be an easy job. I want to see them mix up the coverages of tight end Jimmy Graham. New Orleans will put some points on the board, but the Eagles defense must make their work for everything they get, but it’s essential that they force some turnovers.
At times during this game, the Eagles linebackers and defensive backs must move up into tight man-to-man coverage and force Brees to hang onto the ball. They must reroute the Saints receivers by jamming them as they come off of the line of scrimmage. It will give the Birds pass rush a chance to get to the New Orleans quarterback and at least get some hits on him. Forcing him to hold the ball will also get him out of rhythm.
The Eagles pass rushers must get their hands up, if they realize they’re not going to get to Brees. On each play, you try to get to the quarterback, but when you see you can’t get their, you must get your hands up to knock down some of Brees’ passes. He’s only 6-feet tall.
They’ve got to mix up their coverages and blitzes, but don’t get blitz happy. They’ve got to get pressure on Brees with four pass rushers. You can’t make blitzing a habit.
G you are right on the money with it. I always laugh at the Manning vs Brady duels as a QB vs QB. People love to forget that the offenses that Manning led were going against defenses that had Ty Law Willie McGinest Teddy Bruschi Rodney Harrison Mike Vrabel Richard Seymour.
Foles has to protect the ball and just make the plays that are there which I believe will be many in this game. I think Rob Ryan is going to sell out and stop the run and also sell out to stop the pass with the idea of chaos will force Nick to do something stupid.
I believe the screen game could be HUGE tonight.
Since getting up 38-10 in the 3rd Q, Reid has called 14 passes and 4 runs. LOL. Thank god there’s no more of that. I am not surprised its now 41-38…it KC had just kneeled 18x, they’d be better off.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!!
LOL…now a timeout coming out of the 2 min warning!!!
REID
OK…that was a terrible sack. But otherwise a good game so far.
This is the real Foles!!!!!
he is shit!
First qb in the history of football to get sacked. You loser ..eat shit
Get used to watching him, he’s going to be here a long time. lol
Tae away the dink and dunk and let Foles beat them and this is what you get.
A scared bitch holding the ball.
The birds are 9-2 when that scared bitch plays more than a half.
so far Nick Foles’s sack takes the team out of a makable field goal leading to 3 points for the opposing team, which is a 6 point swing.
Bench his scared ass if he fuck up this next possession.
We don’t have time to hope this bum ass get it together by the 4th quarter.
Foles play not to lose.
Strange….Kelly is still rolling out that “scared bitch” instead of the superstar…that\s weird.
BTW – that’s his 3rd 3rd down completion. That’s weird.
Who the hell was he throwing it to?
I seen that first duck he threw up on the first play and knew this is what it would be.
The defense is playing well but Foles is keeping the Saints in the game.
I know. Those 3 turnovers are killing the Eagles….if only Vick was in there.
What? The Scared bitch is playing better than Brees? Higher %..more yards…no turnovers???
That’s weird.
I’m really surprised the Saints have a sack. They only had the 3rd most in the NFL. That’s weird.
I am really surprised that a playoff game vs the Saints is close.
That’s weird.
McCoy is invisible…
DJax can’t get open.
Djax doesn’t get the ball in the 2.5 games since he gave up on that one pick and then didn’t hustle to tackle the guy…..I told you that would happen.
But anyway….backed to our ‘Scared Bitch’ QB…he’s terrible…..all those turnovers and incompletions…..can’t win with a guy like that!
about time …with his scared ass
Foles passing opens things up for McCoy
ok..let’s see the next 3 yard play.
Been quiet for 2 weeks. Songs just shut up your hate and lack of football knowledge is too much to take. You are a sad person.
12 for 16 so far for the scared ass. The HOFer has two picks. LOL
What are you blind asshole? 22 yards to Cooper. 15 yards to Ertz. 24 yards to Celek.
Eat shit Songs. LOL
I be seen Foles throw a dart in the red zone. He be outplaying the hall of farmer. He be a good dink dunk qb.. Not bad for a pussy ass
gotta gotta him credit there..alright.
let’s go
Songs…Why aren’t you watching the Redskins? Oh yeah!
Go Demeco giving the offense a short field.
Fuck you
This fucking scared bitch. Horrible.
The way he just stands there. With the line holding up. The way he just stays there in the pocket. scans the field and finds the open guy.
Fucking scared bitch pussy.
Bar win is a stud
Nice throw Foles, nice catch Cooper. Didn’t think Riley would of wanted to catch that ball, since its “brown”
With the defense playing so good..man if we had a better QB we would be up by at least 2 touchdowns at the half.
Please….stop being modest. If the superstar had been playing, The Birds would be up by 3 tds. Stop selling the superstar short.
Foles is only 13 of 18 (72%) with a td and no ints.
That’s fucking ‘scared ass’ terrible.
Vick would be 18 of 18 for 322 and 3 tds at this point.
How can Kelly not see that?
I was looking a Luck tonight…now that’s a quarterback who rips the heart out a team. Fuck a game manager…we need a stud.
Fraud Songs …Ummm. it was 38-10 in the 3rd quarter in favor of the Chiefs. It’s on halftime. Your desire to hate on Foles is clear bias. Were you calling Luck a stud during the first half or 3rd quart when he only managed to lead Colts to 10 points. No u were not. You have some issues dude!
Fuck. Right again. Those 3 ints and fumble ripped the heart right out of KC. We NEED a guy who throws interceptions like that.
Dammit….we HAD that guy…..but for some strange reason, the new coach seems to HATE QBs who give the ball to the other team 4x a game.
He’s an idiot who likes pussy assed QBs. Too bad.
Drew Brees at the half: 10 for 18 for 98 yards, 2 INTs, 31.5 passer rating.
Nick Foles 13 for 18, also for 98, 1 TD, 0 INT, 103.5 rating.
Who cares what Brees has done. The better stat QB means nothing if you don’t win.
He sucks to tonight whats your point?
Andy Reid is going to fire his defensive coordinator and hire Juan Castillo to run the defense. Typical Andy!
Good game both defenses are playing well. Eagles have sold out on the pass and the Saints have sold out on the run defensively. Makee Foles beat you or make the NO rbs beat you looks like game plans.
didn’t i tell you.
This bum ass is an intentional grounding waiting to happen.
That was a weak call. But you are right….if only the 2-4 playoff superstar was in, this would be a different story.
PUT VICK IN THE GAME!!!!!
Who?
A little pass protection would be nice. Foles was on the ground in 2.8 seconds.
Is anything ever Foles fault?
He is playing qb in the nfl.. Ball in his hands. It is part of the position. The Vick fuck offs want perfection. Man he is playing the game
now let’s see what captain dink and dunk do.
Dink and dunk has the best per throw yards
Yeah, I’ll tell you when he fucks up.
This possession tells it all.
How bout we run shady why you be not yelling at shady
that passing rating is sure paying off..not even 100 yards yet.
Aaah… Cooper catches he is still running
desean running wide open…again
he drop a dink…wide open
Song I thought the Dallas game was the test?
That pussy assed scared Foles.
What a shit throw to Cooper.
If only we had a non scared assed stud at QB, Cooper would have gone for 60!
I want to see people blame this loss on the “D”.
This game was lost in the first half when the “D” was balling out and Foles playing like hot shit to start a game again.
This guy have had horrible starts against the Lions, against the Vikings, against Dallas and now tonight.
Foles is shit!
2 of 3 were winsfaggot
Every game I watched the QB was scrambling. Alex Smith, Andrew Luck, Drew Brees. FOLES JUST FUCKinG STANDS THERE!!!! Rob Ryan had his number at Dallas last year . Duck outta here this is not our QB of the future.
You are right…..Scrambling QBs is where its at.
Just like Drew Brees. Scrambler supreme.
Fuck you Vinnie
Why so angry? Because you been proven an idiot for calling Drew Brees a scrambler?
Sorry to hurt your precious feelings.
Why can’t Foles stop the saints
now, saints going to blow this out the water.
Foles is shit!!!!!
Again….if only Foles had been Vick, the Cooper would still be running.
i don’t want to hear shit about Foles going forward..Shady is the reason we made it and we see what happens when Shady is stopped.
Foles aint shit.
Third n twelve n can’t get off the field.
