I think the Steelers and Ravens are both better than Philly. No reason we can't go toe to toe with them.

Nonsense to the “handily” part. Should be a good game.

Coleman, Wylie and Lucas all questionable

That would be pretty gnarly if they were all out.. damn

Re: Iggles pre game thread
 

The loss to the Steelers didn't bother me at all. We played hard and hung in the game against a very good opponent - a playoffs team IMO. The Eagles are just as good, if not better, as the Steelers. So as long as we compete hard against the Eagles, a loss to them won't bother me much either.

But a win would be a thrill! If we could split these two games it would be very satisfying to double our win total of last season as we march to the playoffs.

I'll go ahead and give my answer. The Eagles were one of the most talented rosters in the league last year and that has not changed. I'm not a big Hurts guy but he is in a fansatic situation. Their weakness which was exposed in the playoffs was in the secondary. The rookie corners I have heard are playing well so that's no longer the case.

Yes they lost some people but they also added probably the most explosive back in league who can change a game in one play. I think we will struggle to contain all these weapons and if the Commanders are down 2-3 tackles well that spells disaster.

Primarily because they have a star-studded offense that can put up big numbers.

Eagles biggest weakness could be their coach

But agree

Re: Iggles pre game thread
 

Their offense is still great, but their defense is no Steelers. Until proven otherwise, we will continue to put up points. I imagine we won't have crappy drops and shitty calls every game either, so I think this will be a high scoring, exciting game.

Our defense has steadily improved each game, especially against the run, but we seem to get beaten by a single player (I feel like that's been our issue for the past 20 years). If Brown or Barkley go off, we lose. If we hold them to something reasonable, I think we win a close one.

Re: Iggles pre game thread
 

I am quite worried about this game being a turning point in our season, in a bad way. There is now ton of film on kingsbury, he has a history of late season losses, film on daniels as his production is trending down, higher level of competition on our schedule, key injuries, eagles killed our CBs, poor run defense too. We have been beating bad teams exclusively. Our hype train has a bit of a mirage as our team has been so hopeless and now we have a solid team. Philly is better than us in almost every position group or even. Yes, we may be more competitive, but we certainly aren't more talented. Shut down Terry and keep daniels contained is the name of the game. Not really that hard to do with a very talented team. I would be shocked if we win. It may be hard to watch some of this, but we are all used to getting our butts kicked. I see a pretty big statement game by the eagles resulting in revived superbowl talk. I sure hope I am wrong?

Re: Iggles pre game thread
 

Also, I believe the Eagles played a very soft schedule so far. Their losses were against not great teams. We absolutely can win this, but this will be kind of the anti-Steelers game. Great offense, meh defense.

We may lose, but they haven't exactly beaten great teams either. I'm not really a fan of that argument anyway. You can't control the schedule. That said, each team's strength of schedule so far is almost identical (26th & 27th).

I'll give them the leg up because they are home, but I definitely wouldn't be "shocked" if we won. It should be a pretty good matchup, honestly.

Re: Iggles pre game thread
 

It's interesting to see how some people here are so concerned about this game because of how we played against Eagles last year, it's almost as if we had forgotten that the team this year is literally completely different than last year team..
