How The Bears Can Beat The Eagles
The Chicago offense is stacked with potent weapons, and coming off of a week where the Eagles’ defense couldn’t slow down the likes of Matt Cassel, Matt Asiata, and Greg Jennings the Eagles defense is going to face a much stronger challenge this time.
Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey are the most explosive one-two receiver punch in the league. They’ve combined for 170 receptions, 2,450 yards, and 17 touchdowns through 15 games. Those are absolutely staggering numbers, and they’re even more impressive when you watch the film and see how difficult some of the receptions these guys are making.
As if the Marshall-Jeffrey nightmare wasn’t scary enough, running back Matt Forte brings an entire dimension of his own to the Chicago attack. Forte has accounted for 1,722 yards on his own with nine total touchdowns. He’s one of the most complete running backs in the league, and does everything from running to receiving to blocking well.
Tight end Martellus Bennett has also put up respectable numbers with 59 receptions for 659 yards and five touchdowns.
The key for Chicago is Jay Cutler. You never know what you’re going to get from this guy. He’s very inconsistent, and at his worst he can be a Romo-esque turnover machine.
Why The Eagles Will Win
The Chicago defense is one of the worst in the league.
They give up nearly 28 points a game, and they rank dead last against the run.
The Eagles are one of the best running teams in the NFL, and a week after LeSean McCoy was only given eight touches, its a very safe bet that Chip Kelly will more than make up for that puzzling total with a healthy workload against a run defense that has been gashed by many different runners this year.
With the Eagles expected to lean heavily on their ground game, it should help open things up for Nick Foles and the aerial attack. Chicago is also ranked in the bottom 10 against the pass, and the opportunity will be there for Foles to connect with his weapons.
Final Thoughts
The matchup of Marshall/Jeffrey/Forte against the Eagles defense is a pretty intimidating one, especially after the unit comes off of a week in which they played so poorly against an injury-depleted Vikings offense that was already bad to begin with. The Bears are a very difficult match for the Eagles.
However, throughout the season, Chip Kelly and the Eagles have shown an ability to bounce back from their mistakes.
I think the Eagles will adjust and clean up a lot of the errors they made a week ago in Minnesota. They aren’t going to forget about their best player, LeSean McCoy. They aren’t going to run squib kicks the entire game and give the opposing offense great field position. They can’t possibly be as bad as they were defensively a week ago…after giving up 48 points to that terrible offense, there’s nowhere to go but up.
I think this is going to be a shootout. The offenses will trade blows throughout the night with the difference being a turnover or two from Jay Cutler.
Pick: Philadelphia 38, Chicago 33
With Week 17′s match against the Dallas Cowboys shaping up to be a showdown for the division, Denny Basens and Jeff Kolsky are planning to get a group together to watch the game at XFINITY Live, and we would like to extend invitations to any and all readers of GCobb.com to come out and join us. We sincerely appreciate all who read, comment, and make this website great, and we’d love the opportunity to meet some of the readers and experience a great game together.
Eh.
I don’t know if I’m as confident in the defense as you are, but ultimately that is what it comes down too. No worries of Foles throwing it 48x a game – and with their run defense being as putrid as it is, there will def be a steady dose of Shady – so offensively no worries. Defensively, well let’s hope we get the guys who were only giving up 21 points a game and not the ones who were giving up 31 points a game.
If it becomes a shootout however, advantage Bears.
A Wildcard for the Bears Defense is the return of
LB Lance Briggs and mid-Season pick-up DT Jay Ratliff to help plug the middle
With no CB Tillmann and shaky Dafety Pkay from
Slow Chris Conte, the Eagles should exploit their Secondary
If they are able to run the game.. A quick start with Fast-Tempo will chalkenge the Bears depth and the conditioning of the 2 players in Briggs & Ratliff who are not in Top Football shape..
Special Trams are huge once again and Bears Returnman Devin Always seems to play well on National Games under the Bright Lights.
Eagles will have to execute well, protect the Ball and win the a Turnover Battle to have a good chance of Winning
Eagles will win 24-21.
I think both teams will play a semi-crisp game. Maybe one turnover each. I think the return of Earl Wolff is huge, not saying he’s the x-factor but he has grown into a guy that just gets the job done. Nothing over the top. Just make the tackles that need to be made and provide adequate coverage. Boykin playing is also huge. Although he struggled last week early on, it was an even bigger eye-opener when he came out of the game. Minnesota killed us across the middle.
I see Eagles jumping out early with the Bears steadily scoring as well but inevitably falling to the Birds. 38-28.
Also, Earl Bennett will have two tds. He kills us.
He sure does Birdo.. He seems to have Career Games versus the Eagles
Don’t forget their back-up RB Michael Bush who is a load also
And tough in the Red-Zone
Eagles better hit and get QB Cutler moving aroubd early and often or it may be a long evening…
Denny, good stuff. I always enjoy your pre and post game analysis. This is going to be the most potent offense the Eagles have seen since the Broncos. These receivers are huge and make ridiculous catches even when covered. The biggest factor in this game will be whether our front 7 can get pressure on Cutler. If not, it’s going to be a long night. The Outcome of the Cowboys game will also be a factor.
Thank you!
I see the Eagles losing tonight and the Cowboys winning today, setting up a killer showdown next week.
My only concern is will the eaglesexploit the oh so obvious weaknesses of the Bears. The Vikingshad plenty of weaknesses last week, but we didn’t run enough against them, yes Foles was off so taking advantage of their sieve likesecondary was not executed. However, the ST’s were awful, mainly due to that stupid pooch punt game plan and the defense was playing half a field throughout the game.
Go Eagles, execute,execute, execute and win!!!
Oh….and go redskins!
Its an interesting game. If Dallas wins at 1 then, despite what he says, Kelly HAS to sit McCoy, Desean, Peters, Cox, etc through the 2nd half.
If he does that, and he’d be crucified if he didn’t and one got hurt, then he also has to sit Foles. You can’t leave the starting QB out there with backups.
Makes it a very difficult game to call.
Of course best scenario is for Wsh to win over Dallas, and GB to win over Det.
Then it will be Chicago sitting Forte, Marshall etc down and handing the game to the Eagles.
vin he can’t. he is playing for a 3 seed not 4. if 4 upsets 1 and we get the 3 seed and play 2 seed we play at home in the NFC championship game instead of potentially playing it on the road. would be an awful decision to tank especially after last week
no teams should be sitting anyone because home field is on the line.
Also if Dallas wins and we tank and lose and we tie Dallas next week it’s curtains for us
I agree Mhenski 100%,
Eagles play to Win regardless
This Chips first Season as HC
A win tonight guarantees a Winning Record for the Season,
Also a Win tonight puts the Eagles in a situation where they could still the NFC East Crown with a Tie vs the Cowboys (Stranger things have happened)
Now I am not saying he could use done judgement and lessen the load for MCCoy/D-Jax , but I really don’t think that’s in his DNA
Maybe McCoy & D-Jax are not out there every snap in the 2nd half
But still, I think Kelky Coach’s to Win this Game and especially after last weeks questionable Strategy and Game Plan..
These Players are paid to play and is paid to Coach and Win
***Paulman Rumor #3.115
Cowboys Jerry Jones has begun negotiations with Penn States HC Bill O’Bruen about taking over the Dysfunctionable Cowboys HC
And Staff.. O’Brien has already renogiated his buyout close from Penn State
From $11 Million down to $6.5 Million for a move to the NFL
Which ESPN reported that O’Brien is talking to further reduce
The payout clause in his current deal with the University
Jon Hart will follow up in a couple days to give more Details
As much as Obrien to the Cowboys would seem pretty obvious, I don’t think Bill would go there. He doesn’t seem like the type to put up with a medling owner. If he goes to Houston or Mini, he would seemingly have much more control of the team. But as they say, money talks!
I agree with that Texans/Minny would be better spot for him
But when Jerry wants something he has that $$$
And charm to woo a guy..
Cutler went to a restaurant last night in center city with Josh Mcknown, my son is a busboy there and waited on his table, he told me Cutler was very sociable with him, asking him his name, how old he is, also gave him a $100 tip, I want to see him throw 3 pic sixes tonight and get sacked 5 times and definitely lose, but besides that, I have respect for him for how he treated my son.
Nice Story Andrew,
Why didn’t your Son attempt to slip something in both QB’s Drinks
To make them both Ill and Incapacitated for this evenings game..
You may want to remove your Phone # listing from the Yellow Pages
If Cutler goes on and has a big game, Just Sayin’…
If Cutler has a big game the’ll be nobody to blame but our D, I only have respect for him OFF the field, on the field I hope this is the week were he plays inconsistent.
The Cowboys sideline looks beat. This game is over
The cowgirls win, Carolina knocks off NO. The pressure is on!!!!!! Panthers are in the playoffs!!!!!
Jeezus, you were jizzing on that TD throw.
Oh, and uh EVERYBODY IS SLEEPING ON CAM NEWTON!!!!! WHY???????????
Ehh, maybe it’s because we are Eagles fans and don’t care about the Panthers and Cam Newton!
It figures. You don’t know what else is going on in the league. At least your honest.
I beg to differ, I do, however, no one else just cares to join you in your cam Newton knob slobbing.
Naw man The Knob slobbing was left soley to YOUR MOTHER! She’s the pro of that sport mutha fucka!!!!!!
LOL, she said you were second to none, that’s why you call yourself theone1 . #1 at slobbing the knob, that mother bs don’t phase me. Say it all day at your pleasure, lol, you’re funny to me. theone1 with the momma jokes. And yes I’m a muthafucka cause I fucked your mom. 15 Love… your serve!
15 Love these nuts faggot, YOUR MOTHER DID!!!!! See you tonight?
NBo Football Knowledge in you, but hey I’m bored BRING IT BITCH!!!!
LOL, if I’m the faggot why do you want me to mother your nuts? Lol, my mom mothered your nuts, give me more….you are funny!
If you’re bored go do your usual and play with yourself until the Eagles game come on. Don’t forget to wash your hands so you don’t fuck up the remote at your mom’s house.
Fuck, Theone1 has now cranked out 3 while reliving that last throw…
…….he’s one ahead of TS, but she’s a girl and they usually have a longer refractory period.
He did shit the entire game until the last drive
He holds the ball too long, he needs to trust his arm and receivers better ever to move up to an “Elite Staus” but he’s young and getting better every year
How about Panthers LB Kuechley , another Pjayer that GMCliff said was not all that and overrated.. 24 Tackkes, 1 Int and was all over the Field as LB Thomas Davis was who had like 15 Tackles.. Happy for DC Sean McDermott
I would rather have played NO in the playoffs before both of you go off on your fucking rants.PAULMAN! don’t get drawn in Shit! Anyway. If you watched this boi all year you know how dangerous he really is. Those long methodical drives is because he is first looking to pick you off passing the ball, and at the last minute he takes off….. Very hard to bring this big SOB down. If we are fortunate enough to make the playoffs, I am afraid of Carolina…..
Here comes #4 from Theone1…..a new record….if the panthers win a playoff game he’ll fill a sperm bank by himself.
Maybe because he’s not a top 10 quarterback in any significant stat, and people realize the Panther defense is a far bigger factor than Cam Newton.
Oh wait, he’s top ten in number of times being sacked, and only 10 QBs have thrown more picks this season.
Is it possible Theone that you over rate Cam because he’s African American?
I seem to remember you doing the same thing with Vick.
Is it possible any of you bitches are coming out tonight? Opportunity to have this conversation face to face and more than likely in range of some folks whom would love to hear your Uh opinions! Bring your bitch ass out and say it to my face, Otherwise STFU!!!!!
LOL, what are you getting so mad for, are you that mentally weak that you can’t take what you dish out? Yeah, I guess you are. Don’t take it personal, unless it’s true. Then again if it’s true you still should not get mad.
Wow, you turned uncivil really quickly when faced with facts, didn’t you?
I have nothing personal against Cam Newton, I just don’t rate him among the top 10 quarterbacks in the league, nor do I think he’s the main reason the Panthers are having the season they are.
I do think he’s the best QB in the teams history, but he still has a lot to prove to me, just like Nick Foles.
He’s mad because he just dropped 4 loads and still people disparage his new love…..doesn’t stop him…he’s young, he’ll work out 5 soon enuf
“As the final whistle blows in the Panthers’ final 2012 contest against New Orleans, Newton will have finished the greatest first two seasons we’ve ever seen out of an NFL quarterback. And at least in the realm of the regular season, it isn’t particularly close…
Newton enters Sunday with the following career statistics: 574-for-969 passing (59.2 percent), 7,672 yards, 40 touchdowns, 28 interceptions; 246 rushes for 1413 yards (5.7 per carry) and 22 more touchdowns. Newton’s 8,584 net yards — including 70 sacks taken for 501 lost yards — the Panthers star has an exactly 800 yard lead on Peyton Manning’s old 7,784 net yardage mark, the previous best for any quarterback in his first two seasons. Newton still has one game left.
Newton’s 7.9 yards per attempt ranks fourth (Ben Roethlisberger, Dan Marino, Mark Rypien). His 62 total touchdowns ranks second (Marino). Newton’s only major category away from the top: a 2.8 percent intereception rate, still 16th of the 78 quarterbacks since 1933 to start at least 20 games in their first two seasons. Only Andy Dalton attempted more passes than Newton of those above him on the list.
Looking deeper, Newton has compiled 244.2 EPA and 5.04 WPA. In the Advanced NFL Stats era — dating back to 2000 — only Aaron Rodgers has more EPA in his first two years as a full-time starter (at least 10 games started)…
Newton’s 5.04 WPA ranks fifth, behind Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Tony Romo and Daunte Culpepper”
They hypocrisy on this board regarding QB play is a bit ridiculous.
OMG
TS doesn’t need the ‘rabbit’. Just reads that over and over and she’s good.
And he led the Panthers to Zero Playoffs until this year
His Careeer is off to a good a Start and he should only improve
But living here in NC I see him play almost every week and has a lot of Deficiencies to improve on before being in a “Elite Category”
If he keeps his head focused, he will achieve some great things as many young QB that play in today’s wide-open & pass happy offenses
He is not running as much because he doesn’t need to
They are another a good WR and some OL help away from being a very Good Offense, but they are not there yet.. Where he gas improved the most this Season is cutting down on his Turnovers, no he needs to cut down on taking sacks and holding the ball too long and getting passes out too late and he be a great one..
Oh no.. A third year QB JUST got to the playoffs. The HORROR.
Maybe if Riverboat Ron had shown up last year instead of this year they would have made the playoffs last year – or at least had a winnign season.
The biggest diff isn’t Cam’s or even the defenses play – it’s Ron’s play calling. I guess potentially losing your job makes you go “fuck it” and toss caution to the wind.
13 of 22, 181 yards, 1 td and 1 pick….why is that worth talking about today? Cam is a good QB and progressing nicely. I like him….but with todays performance, it’s like ho hum. I think the Carolina Panthers, especially their defense deserves credit too. The whole team…not just Cam.
Oh the hypocrisy…..
No one is saying the Carolina D isn’t the business. Of course they are. But all the down playing of Cam and how good a QB he is this early in his career is ridiculous.
Well, that’s others, not me…I’m not concerned with what Cam does because it doesn’t help my squad.
Carolina’s d is sick that offense is below average. Why the fuck are jagoffs talking about cam fucking Newtown here?
Gtfo outta here u frauds
Cam Newton showed what he was made of…the game is tight…they needed the Quarterback to make some plays for the win! What did Cam do …fire three straight excellent passes for winning drive of the game!
I wonder if we have a QB that can do the same thing???
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzz
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I wonder if you can come up with some new material?
OMG….now Koolbreeze is jazzing over Newton….its a goddamn circle jerk!
NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWTON!!!
Newton is a great quarterback. He has been incredible since he came into the league.
Newton was the best quarterback to come out of college in 2011, and there’s nobody like him on the horizon.
I’m just not exactly sure what that has to do with the Philadelphia Eagles?
Exactly…stop trolling on an Eagles blog with other teams players hyping them up…Go to that teams blog, I’m sure they will be more than welcoming of your input!
Go to the panthers fan board ya fucking idiot. NobOdy here gives a fuck about cam ya jackass
Told ya.
don’t this feel reminiscent of the meltdown that happened a few years ago?
NFC East Championship a sniff away only to lose to a bad Vikings team on the way out against Dallas.
Next week we all will witness the real Nick Foles and not the “Folds Gold” we were given against the likes of a pathetic Oakland Raiders team.
Dallas will play the same game they played against us in Philly and knock us out with Fole playing like pure shit when it matters.
PASTE IT!
Our lost to a pathetic Vikings team kept Dallas alive.
Get ready to see a lost, distraught QB throwing ducks into the air next week.
You have got to be the biggest loser that I have ever read…..and that is saying a lot on this board with some pretty stiff competition from the Vic-Trolls.
You are CLEARLY no fan of the Eagles, just as you told everyone last year. You are a FRAUD….A HATER of anything positive for this team unless it involves MV. Go away with you simple minded thoughts and find another player to obsess over. You are pathetic.
Glad the Cowboys Won, now all the BS on who should play or sit is out the window.. Time to strap it up and seize the moment..
To make the Playoffs, you should earn you way by winning
I think this is a good thing for the Team and this old Fan who wanted this way..
Go Eagles…
I’m so glad it happened this way….
I really was hoping the Redskins choke down the stretch and they did what bad teams do….gave up a game winning touchdown on 4th and forever, playing scared instead of applying pressure with an extra rusher knowing Arakpo was injured.
Now, we finally see the golden boy under real pressure after witnessing his deer in the headlight antics against the Cowgirls at the Linc & over throwing wide open receivers against a horrible Viking “D” missing their starting corners.
Well, hope you read my posts before the Vikings game because I called it knowing how Foles responds to presser.
Next week Daily News cover will be titled . “NICK FOLDS” and the writers will go into a spin article on this is only growing pains.
GROWING PAINS MY ASS!
You don’t lose to inferior teams with the playoffs on the line…especially a 3 win team.
I agree. Foles should have played better defense last week.
Facepalm.
No. But he could have played better offense.
He certainly could have…he could have put up 50 points. Actually 49 would have done it.
9 points in the first half.
He def could have done better. That idea is not mutually exclusive from the one where the defense shat the bed.
Did you see that Cincy/Vikes game today? Yeah.
Some of it…a lot of surfing the games….Minnesota sucks, the whole Eagles squad was brutal from the game plan, to the coaching, to the special teams to the defense, and the QB. Foles was the least of the problems last week. Please QB’s struggle every week. Look at Russel Wilson today. he didn’t havea good game..it happens. Cam didn’t exactly light it up today, yet you make it seem like Canton is preparing his bust.
“…yet you make it seem like Canton is preparing his bust.”
That’s you ’cause those words never came out of my mouth.
” Foles was the least of the problems last week”
No he wasn’t. He was THE problems on offense. Crazy how folk see QB play through tinted glasses when it’s their guy fucking up.
they don’t have to come out of your mouth, is just reading into your post, and it’s not to be taken literally, more of a metaphor. Here’s the point, the Eagles is the concern here, not Cam Newton or anybody else that does not pertain to the Eagles. You said the Eagles had 9 points during the first half, ok Carolina had what..10, wasn’t more than that because they only scored 17, with the last TD at the end of the game. Uhh no, the Eagles defense gave up 48, that’s a problem any week. How many teams score more than fourty on a weekly basis, not many. Three td’s and 1 pick can get it done if the defensesteps up. But with your blinders on you can’t see that.
Foles would have to have another Dallas 1 moment to lose that game. The reality is it’s going to come down to whose defense sucks the least – and well – if Romo coughs up the ball.
A shootout favors Romo – however Dallas D is SO bad that if they don’t put up at least 30 I’d be hella surprised.
It’s because of of these types of posts that i want to but could never show up at xfinity live, I would be in jail after I beat your asses to submission, songs, you would be the first to go, you are the worst , you others want a piece of Jakedog I can arrange it
OMG Can someone get rid of the troll Please?
LMAO
Now, let Foles come out next week and stink up the joint for the 1st 30 minutes of ball and see what happens…there will be no snow for Shady to bail his out in.
If He come out with that deer in the headlight game, Chip better be ready to pull his ass, especially he’s holding on to the ball taking sacks.
Hell. he’ll probably play lights out tonight in a no pressure game.
Nice to know that you’re rooting against the current Eagles’ QB.
Are you one of the Vick fanboys?
I’m just calling it like I see it.
This Foles guy plays like shit when all the chips are pushed in the middle of the table.
Before the Vikings game I said these games coming will tell the truth about Foles.
Can he come out early and bury a wounded team with the division on the line?
Answer so far. No
Next week answers all questions!
Let him keep talking to himself, he’s a bandwagon redskins fan, until RGIII got benched, also a 49ers and Seahawks bandwagon hopper. Just ignore his attention seeking. His shtick is trite and boring already, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
And yes….he’s a Vick fan boy, not an Eagles fan. Since he did not answer your Question E, I’ll answer it for him! He’s a fraud….period !!!
It was reported that Song’s Nephews, who Songs bought #7
Eagles Jerseys for 2 Christmas’s ago, were seen
Spray painting the numerals from a 7 to a 9.. It was also reported that Songs was so upset that he brought both boys to get
“Flu Shots” to “teach them a lesson” as reported by a Social Services
employee.. More details by Jon Hart later this week
LMAO
LMAO, too!
Songs point maybe backup QBs with 2-5 career starts have lit up Dallas defense. So we cant use that bullshit Foles doesn’t have enough starts under his belt as a excuse. if Flynn, Cousins, McGloin etc are putting up points Foles damn well better.
I don’t think many people on here take issue or umbrage with that point dag, it’s just that he states his points with sarcasm and glee when Foles does not play well. That’s why we also know he’s not about the team…just his individual players…Must be fantasy related. I agree, Foles must perform well to beat any team, no excuses, however, if he puts up good numbers, 3 td’s and 1 int, the defense needs to do their part, not give up 48. The Dallas game. I think he was starry eyed because he grew up a cowbum fan. That may have screwedwith his psyche….next week, he has to ball out. No excuses for his performance.
Well he’s no diff than the others who did the same and worse when Vick was QB. Folk kill me acting like trolling isn’t trolling when it’s done for a QB you dislike.
It’s the same across the board. A troll is a troll. And this board is full of them regardless of what QB they are rooting for or against.
I’ll say it for the millionth time. When Vick was in I cheered him….actually like Vick as a person. He’s a positive role model to me as far as how he comports himself, however, he wasn’t getting it done on the field..period. If Foles, or whom ever comes in and enhances the team experiences…I’m cheering them on as long as they get wins. To say…oh since Vick isn’t in the team won’t win, can’t run the ball, can’t get the ball down field to Deshawn is assinine, what was that based on …..bias, ignorance, That’s trolling . Taking glee in an Eagles loss is trolling. Disappearing and popping up when things go your way is trolling and frauding.
You’re so full of shit. Sorry but got to call a spade a spade. He wasn’t getting it done on the field? Seriously? Typical fake fan.
“Disappearing and popping up when things go your way is trolling and frauding.”
Make up your mind. Last Sunday when I was on here you claimed I was no where to be found when the Eagles are winning (though I’d been on the board all before that) – I’m “no where to be found” after the loss UNTIL this weekend (exactly like I said I would be last Sunday) and now I’m disappearing and popping up?
GTFOH.
I’m off the board during the week. On doing the weekend. How complicated is that to understand.
Well I did eat a lot today and yesterday so I maybe full of shit…but not like you’re talking about, LOL. Truthfully, I could care less if you’re on here or not. Don’t be so sensitive, it’s just not that serious….LOL, it’s not that serious. And to be honest with you TS, when I stated that in my post above, I wasn’t talking about you this time, some of the other whodini’s on here I was though!
By the way…I noticed you did not dispute the other things I said, they must fit!
This game won’t have to be won by nick foles ,we understand he just needs manage the game …allow shady and his tight ends to run rough shod over this bears team ..the defense with boykin and Woolf will be tested big time from now through Dallas ..the 3seed is essentially the brass ring tonight ,once the birds seize it they know full well it’s all on the line at jerry dome …there is no,better holiday cheer than an eagles cowboys game for all the marbles…..I fully,expect a tough bears game ,and a Dallas revenge game to win the division …I’m not going to even address the assholes who can’t seemingly believe nick foles will not be concussed ,and still wither against the cowboys defense ,who can’t seemingly stop any drives by any teams …the coach has one foot in the grave and an owner who has a franchise in turmoil ,lest one fourth down play ..I’m still wondering why the redskins didn’t max blitz? Shit teams make shit plays …a showdown awaits ..no matter the outcome ,can’t ask Santa for more than that ..
Yes the game will have to be won by Foles! The QB is key…and its always been that way…with all Eagle QB’s…we bashed Jaws, Cunningham, McNabb (the greatest Eagle QB), Vick…and every other QB…Foles is the starting QB and its crunch time…time for him play like he did earlier in the year …the pressure is on….its the hated Cowboys!
Who wants to hear those fake azz Cowboy fans bash us by getting into the playoffs and knocking us off??
Naw…Foles better come up in the clutch…the Cowboys defense sucks and the Offense is not as strong or potent as what we will see tonight!
Dallas vs Eagles-Foles vs Romo
We are supposed to come out on top!!
Koolbreeze states”Yes the game will have to be won by Foles! The QB is the key….and it’s always been that way”….then he refuses to give credit when they win…lol, so transparent…so predictable. If Eagles lost he’d give 100% of blame to Nick, lol, soooo transparent!
Kool and fraud mad because Foles played well, can’t slam him, so ignore his play. Chris Collinsworth recognized though. Nick got a game ball too! LOL.
Foles should just play the 1st half and McCoy should sit. There is NO reason why McCoy should play.
Jeezus….3 of them on here rooting for Foles to fail next week…….
The mighty seahawks lost today at home. Any given Sunday! Regardless of who the QB is.
McCoy only 8 Carries last week, he needs to pkay and get his groove back
He and no other Player should sit out.. Seeding and A Win to Play for tonight
Last home agame of the Season,
Worry about the Cowboys come Tuesday when they get back to practice
These Pkayers are highly paid to pkay and perform,
coach Kelky is highly paid to Coach and Win
This is what these people do for their livliehood,
Let the Coach & Play and worry about next week
When it comes..
Its crunch time…We need this game for the third seed…we want the best position we can get for the playoffs…the really big game is in Dallas next week. This is the game that separates the men from the boys…our hated rival…the Dallas Cowboys for all the money!!
Foles is going to have to come up big!
Losing is not an option!
Bears have more to play for. That likely gives them the slight edge going into the game.
Losing is not an option??
Weird.
All day you’ve been jazzing over Newton who was 6-10 and 7-9 over his first 2 years and never made the playoffs till his 3rd season…and you switched your mastaboatory fantasies to Newton over from Vick who hasn’t made it to the playoffs since 2004…..
But if Foles loses next week he stinks…..
Stroke it charlatan.
Ummmm…I’m sorry…is this an Eagles blog?
Because Koolbreeze, Theone, and TS have orgasmed over Newton on this thread (songs upset he didn’t join the circle jerk)
That’s hypocrisy!!!
I know Vinniethevictum…Cam Newton simply did what we want to see Foles do…come up with some clutch plays in a tight situation in the 4th quarter of a game! Next week…is do or die…we have to go on the road. We need the QB to step up big time…because none of us wants to hear the cackling of the hated, fake azz Philadelphia Cowgirl fans…fans who have never seen the inside of Dallas…yet cheer for the hated, despicable enemy Cowboys.
This is surely worst than reading your whiny azz posts vinnie…
Vinnie has turned into a 12 year old boy with all his masturbating references. Must be lonely over there in Europe. *shrug*
LOL…I was wondering what was up with the obsessive references to masturbation..maybe if he wasn’t so miserable and a idiot he wouldn’t be so lonely!
Giants beat Lions in OT 23-20
Steelers just scores to go up 38-31 with less than 2 minutes left
So Bears can wrap up NFC North tonight with a Win
I guess we will see what Cutler is made of. lol
Packers had the ball at 1 Yard line going in
For a score with 14 seconds left, then an
Off-Sides by an OL pushed them back
To the 6 yard, time run off the clock
And Steeler’s win and Packers need Bears to lose tonight and beat the Bears next week
win
Arizona beat Seahawks to move to 10-5
And can Tie SF 49ers if they lose to the Falcons Mon Night
Great Start Eagles,
Nice 3 & out forced by the Defense
Bad Pilunt by Bears giving Eagles good Field Position
Then nice Drive led by McCoy & Foles finishing it off with a nice
Pass to Cooper
This Foles guy sucks.
Awww….he’s he;s only doing well because the game means nothing. SO pressure is off.
Cam Newton is better.
Vinnie….it’s not enough….lol….not enough.
It means everything to the bears
A big Special Teams Play by Fletcher causing a Hester Fumble
And recovery by Cary Williams .. Eagles pounce right away,
Big pass by Foles on the move to Ertz who made a nice route adjustment to roll to to open side of field that Foles was rolling to
Then a nice catch and run to D-Jax and then pound it in with McCoy
Offense is smoking right now, let’s keep it up
Jeckyl and Hyde
Foles will not play like this next week.
Pressure bust pipes.
Lets enjoy this game Songs.. Are you a F’n Eagles Fan or not..
We have all be t week to worry about the Cowboys
Let’s kick some Bears Ass..
Paul…you know he’s not. Look at his posts, he’s miserable and the Eagles are kicking ass. If it was Vick in at QB he’d be happy as hell. He is not an Eagles fan..how can he be posting like that when the Eagles are playing well. He’s mad right now…straight up misserable and pissed that Foles is playing well.
spoken by the guy (I guess) who went from the Eagles, to the skins, to the seahawks, to the 9ers, and back to the Eagles, now trolling because Vick is an oakridge boy, after each team lost mind you….and who’s the jeckyl and hyde? You’re such a fraud fraudsrme!
The Eagles Defense is balling really hard..this offense is one of the best in the league and being shut down…we are getting pressure on Cutler…the Defense is balling
Wow…we are kicking azz! Chip Kelly is a master at designing plays that puts a defense in a terrible bind!
Bears defense is shitty. Hester coughing up and the short punt didn’t help. Right now looks like our defense is holding up – I don’t see the Bears being able to stop anything. On to Dallas.
Why is it every time the Eagles are kicking ass, the other teams D is shitty. Why no credit to the offense ? Just wondering?
Um…the Bears D is ranked last against the run. There D is shitty. This isn’t news – no slights to the O. Did you expect the offense to play badly? I didn’t. SO what’s your point?
54 dipshit
No doubt.
If O was struggling the story would be, “Foles folds in big games”…..
They’re rolling so its, “Bears D sucks”
It will be the same story next week. And the week after if they overcome the 1-3 start and make the show.
Miss me with that Vinnie the Idiot.
Every post I’ve written about this game said the same thing – The O will get their points the only question is which D shows up. That’s it.
Zona’s nor Lions D are bad yet we won those games – no one was claiming that their defense were bad in the process. Spare me the ‘woe is me” BS.
I’m willing to wager.
Mike will start next week….riding to the rescue. We just needed Foles to win enough games to get us to this point. LOL!!! I’m not willing to wager.
WHy?
No one honors their wagers around here. Like I said Foles would have to be epically bad to lose to Dallas. I think a shootout favors Romo – but he is good for coughing the ball up so…
he will be epically bad against Dallas.
Did you see him against the Cowgirls earlier this year?
I think that’s just wishful thinking on your part. Like the Bears game the only question is going to be which D shows up.
the “D” played good against dallas earlier this year.
It was Foles who looked horrible with glazed eyes, throwing horribly
Wow Eagles O is smoking,
Bears don’t know what’s coming.. Foles
Looks so cool,calm and collected that you just have to like how he operates..
The few Plays the Bears actually had covered, he simply
Throws it away.. Some great Play-Calling by Kelly and execution by the entire a Offense. Now Defense needs to keep it’s discipline and intensity.
Tons of time left..
Ok now, worst Field position to start a drive, let’s pound the rock
And put the Bears away..
Did you see how he just juiced the fake to Desean and then hit Avant??
Wicked.
Oh wait……not enough!!!!!
it means nothing.
let’s see if he plays like this withe the season on the line next week.
Nothing it is.
Foles sucks unless he wins in Dallas. Got it!!
14 of 17 for 145 and 2 tds.
Not good enough,
You are a joke.
2 minutes to half.. Keep working the screens,TE’s and milk it down to halftime..
Probably would be a good time to go deep.. But eat some clock
Eagles get the ball at start of 2nd half.. So even a FG on this Drive is good..
Give Bears no life here b4 the half
Nice Drive and FG by Henerey who could us a little boost..
His Kickoffs have been good so far also.. As has the Coverage Teams
Cowboys Players & Coached are not going to enjoy watching this game tape ..
Hey paul…your boy Michael Floyd caught the game winning TD against Seattle!
Yes I know, having hears squeak from GMCliff who said he’s “not all that”
Against the NFL #1 Defense and helped handed the Seahawks first loss at home sine the 2011 Season.. I am starting to get worried about
GMCliff and he may need to drop the GM from
His name…
The Cowboys looked at the high flying tape Foles gave them after the Bucs game only to come home to the Linc and look like an entirely different guy.
we’ll see if Foles do it when it matters.
Songs is excited…You know we’re going to see some Vick in the 2nd half……
Riding to the rescue…..
Mike can keep his arse on the bench…we don’t wanna cough the game up with fumbles and int’s!He’s an oakridge boy.
The last 9 games didn’t matter?
The Eagles D is smoking….to shutdown a high powered offense like
Chicago who are fighting for their playoff lives is extremely impressive! However…we have to keep the pressure on..if Chicago offense gets on track we have to keep getting first downs …dont let them think they have a chance to come back!
You got it….this is all about the D.
Don’t forget.
The defense held Dallas to 17 points.
It was Foles who lost that game looking like he never played football.
Dallas game!!!
Glad you brought up Foles 8th start 2 months ago.
Seems apropos. No young Qbs ever allowed to struggle in their 8th game.
Dallas game.
so you’re saying there’s no excuse if Foles lays an Egg next week with the division on he line?
No excuse. Young QBs never have bad games.
Dallas game.
Our team has the best or 2nd best qb in the entire nfl since he took over and these dumb fucks never give him credit but are sucking some losers dick in Carolina that never won shit in this league or put up flows type numbers.
Get the fuck outta here losers
Foles didn’t see the tight end wide open down the field with that dump off to Shady??
You are right.
Every single pass must be absolutely perfect. Otherwise the QB sucks.
Especially up 20+. Should always be looking deep. No dump offs allowed. Otherwise a bad QB.
Don’t forget the Dallas game.
No , Foles must be perfect, make evry pass, read, just perferct…like Mike……who’s on the bench! Why is he still on the bench…he’s perfect!
You are the cat that set that bar..he’s just pointing at the same type of comments you’ve pointed out in #7 direction…
Everyone had the bar set higher on the vet, you know cause he has like 10 seasons of experience. Why would you not except a vet with all those years of experience to play well on a consistent basis…
Its clear you still don’t understand the simple concept of expecting more from vets than guys with barely a full season of games. Funny cause its not rocket science but for some it still can be very difficult to comprehend for their brains.
Btw NOONE on this team is better than 28 Total Tds to 3 turnovers, 118.7. Vick/Barkley don’t have that type of game in them, its not even close even though you think a backup can somehow do the same with no evidence to back it up.
Phag! you are a clown…Your opinion about accountability is just that your opinion….There isn’t waiting for players to develop anymore…There’s too much talent nowadays…your thinking is “Old School” in my opinion! Foles played longer in college than Vick did…Both have played football all of their lives…You think Foles is going to give the excuses or use his youth as an excuse for his bad play….Bottom line Foles has played better than the majority of QB’s this season, you should expect nothing but good things from the kid!
my opinion, you are using his youth as a crutch in case he is not successful……
I would have some pretty good evidence had the defense possibly played a little better early on like they have been recently…you do realize the defense played excellent yesterday, especially in the 1st quarter, a big reason for the 21-0 lead, right?
its funny how you can’t comprehend that it takes a team effort to win games…you can’t comprehend that the defense playing the way they play helps the offense…
Evidence to back it up, would be defensive effort in the first game against WSH…
Ha you are a joke…Barkley is younger than Foles, a true rookie…but yet you compare him to Foles? how so? thought you can’t compare or expect things from younger players? Clown!
Go Eagles, now oil would pull out Foles,McCoy
D-Jax in put in Barkley, Briwn/Polk and Danarius Johnson
Get Ryans, Barwin, Thornton,Cox out and play the back-ups
This game is over.. The Bears will probably pull sone of the Starters too
If they were smart
Even Chip Kelly said the Dallas Cowboys showed defensively what he expected but couldn’t understand why Foles wouldn’t pull the trigger.
Why didn’t Foles pull the trigger against Dallas Vinnie?
He threw for 80 freakin yards.
why>
Dallas game.
lol, lol, lol, lol, lol…the Dallas game is all you got….not enough…lol
SONGS, KOOLBREEZE, THEONE1 !!!
Get Ready! Your hero might go in for mop up duty if the Eagles score more points.
I would love to see Vick in mop up to get some reps knowing Chip may need to call his number if Foles go into one of his shells next week.
Vick mopped up: Gave a nice handoff to Bryce Brown.
In the big picture, it’s important to have an established starting QB, as this brings continuity and confidence to the offense…Foles is proving both his leadership ability and skill in that role.
But, you know, Vick is a unique talent, and I think it is important that the Eagles keep him sharp, because with Foles and Vick, the Eagles have the ability to attack a team with basically the same offense, but with a slightly different mode of attack that can catch defenses off guard.
I would be in favor of bringing Vick back, if he is willing to adjust to a new role, as two quality QBs are an absolute necessity in the NFL.
I like Matt Barkely, too…But he needs playing time to rach his potential and establish a rhythm, and I don’t know if he will get that with the Eagles.
