This isn’t a game between the Oakland Raiders and the Philadelphia Eagles, it’s really a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The biggest obstacles the Birds have to battle this weekend aren’t the Raiders. No their toughest fight will be with themselves and their own attitudes.
They can’t make the mistake of taking the Oakland Raiders for granted.
The Eagles will have to find a way to get emotionally charged for this weekend’s game.
The Raiders are a terrible football team and chances are the game will be over early in the battle but the Birds can’t approach the game with that attitude.
They’ve got to come out and play like they’re playing the Giants this weekend. They’ve got to find a way to make this personal.
The Eagles know that they’re the better football team, but they’ve got to go out and prove it.
We’ll be able to find out right away whether the Eagles are emotionally ready for the battle. If the score is 21-0 in the first quarter then we know they were ready.
On the other hand if the score is 0-0, we know they weren’t ready.
Keep track of how the Birds start the game and you’ll know how well prepared they were.
