With JD5 anything is possible

that is true ...

I like to be more pragmatic with my expectations. The Eagles have really good corners, Quinyon Mitchell in particular is having one of the best rookie seasons by a corner in a while. Before their bye he was averaging 6 targets a game, after the bye? 3 targets a game. First matchup? He effectively shut down Terry, who had 2 targets (and 1 reception for 10 yards).

So if we're gonna win this one we need other guys to step up. Ekeler and Ertz combined for 14 receptions the first game, and they're both out most likely. So one of our unheralded players needs to step up. McCaffrey? McNichols? Dyami Brown? Ben Sinnott? John Bates? We're looking at you.

To really put it in perspective, the numbers from our first matchup:

Ekeler/Ertz: 14 receptions for 136 yards on 16 targets.

Bates, McLaurin, Zaccheaus, Robinson Jr, N. Brown, D. Brown, McNichols, McCaffrey: 8 receptions for 55 yards on 16 targets.

Run game: We ran for 93 yards on 28 attempts for a 3.3 average. JD had 18 yards on 7 attempts for a 2.6 average.

Verdict? Offense is gonna have to step up tremendously for us to even have a shot. We kept the score close for 3 quarters last time until our defense got exhausted and they broke us in the 4th quarter. Our top two targets from last time are out so we need some of our lesser known guys to step up. Assuming McLaurin gets blanketed by Mitchell again we need everybody on this one. Kingsbury also needs to get creative to get Terry Mac some looks.

turnovers is key .. we cannot drop Interceptions that hit in the hands .. we cannot turn it over !! we have to play all 4 quarters !! to even have a chance .. i'll be screaming at tv all day 😄

And we are playing the same team that almost lost to the Panthers 2 weeks ago. None of that matters. You are correct, we beat ATL next week and we should get in, but it wouldn’t exactly be the upset of the century if we won tomorrow.

I know its divisional, and all of the other stuff goes out the window. I know that JD gives us a good chance. I know that they looked bad against the panthers. But our 2nd half didnt look good against the saints, and they handled the steelers.
I think if we can keep barkley in check, and have ML on brown, we have a chance.....but honestly the eagles are a better all around team. I hope its competitive, but I try to temper my expectations. we lose in a close one till the 4th when they open it up. 35-24.

Kingsbury also needs to get creative to get Terry Mac some looks.our offense last time was offensive. BUT, we still were leading into the 4th quarter. We have a rested team that will be in rhythm, Philly now has a team that has played 10 straight and are feeling the strain (look at their line and barkley last week).

We are at home, and will get the win and it won't be close unless we have a 4th quarter flop again.

We have to have minimal mistakes and 0 turnovers. A recipe to beat the great teams. McLaurin and others needs to get open. Will be a tough game but not impossible. Imagine Northwest Field will be rocking for this one.
