Stop Barkley when Hurts is playing. It's been an amazing year, the guy is such a class act and a home run hitter at any time. When Hurts has to throw the ball he can be dangerous. He doesn't turn it over and the defense are full of ball hawks. I can't wait.
Ps I checked for
Air bnb in NO a 1 bedroom condo in the French 1/4 is going for 7-15k for 3 days. Wow!
You paid seven million for an AirBNB? You must be loaded! /BroncoBuff [Reply]
I don't know who that is. Last time I was here was our last Super Bowl meeting. I have great respect for this team. How many afc championships in a row? 2 lombardies in a row. That's amazing. Andy Reid is beloved here. I've met him on multiple occasions including once at the king of Prussia Home Depot. He was dragging two trashcans to his truck. Just like any other guy. It was a cool experience [Reply]
We need Thuney to slide back to the inside for this one. They edge rushers are good but Carter and Williams are wrecking balls from the interior. It's a bit concerning. [Reply]
I'll just leave this here...everyone is talking about how great the Eagles offense is...they are about to get shut down...this year in the 17 regular season games, they played one team (yes one team) that was inside the top 10 of total defense and that team was the Packers in week 1...they have not seen a defense like the Chiefs this year...
Conversely, PM15 and his offense have faced four teams inside the top 10 in total defense. [Reply]

If Saquan goes wild, our goose is cooked. We can't get down 10-14 against the Eagles D. They are fantastic.
We need to control the tempo and have long drives that end in TDs.
1. No turnovers
2. No injuries
3. Stop Saquan
4. Stop the crossing patterns as our LB coverage is a weak spot. Goedert could hurt us a lot if not careful.
I know Hurts can drop some dimes but I don't think he can carry the team.
Gonna be a real tough game. Expecting Andy and Spags to pull out some surprises. [Reply]
The stats suggest the Eagles aren't as good as they were two years ago. Defense has declined (despite still being the best in the league this year) and the offense hasn't been close to as dominant as well. They pose the biggest threat we could have faced in the NFC, but it's nothing Mahomes and this team hasn't handled before. [Reply]

He was 10th in QBR this year (12th last year, 4th two years ago). He's more like upper mid-tier with Herbert/Mayfield/Murray.
He's been playing hurt for a while now, but with two weeks to rest he may get some of his running ability back. We have to stop Barkley first, but this isn't a guy you can just completely disrespect as a passer. Not after the SB game he had two years ago. [Reply]

Baun is just like Leo in that he’s a monster stopping the run (15 stuffs, 11 TFL, 151 tackles) but he’s not that good in pass coverage (4 PD’s, 0 INT).
He’s nowhere near as athletic as Leo. 4.65 40 and a 2.74 20 yard split.
I think he’s gonna get picked on in pass pro. [Reply]
I don't remember McCaffrey going crazy against us in the SB last year. He was playing at the same level Barkley played all year this season. MVP caliber. We contained him just enough. Of course, Shanahan doesn't stay committed to the run when playing ahead. Another reason we don't want to get behind. [Reply]

This defense is lights out compared to what they were 3 years ago. They don't blitz because they bring pressure with their front four. The addition of Mitchell cooper de Jean has changed this offense. Jalen Carter might be the best defensive player in the NFL. He is unstoppable! It's hard to judge being in different time zones. We don't get to see each other very often. The Eagles Focus needs to limit Kelce. Ertz killed us last night.

Bro doesn't understand that Reid/Mahomes destroyed Fangio's scheme repeatedly... [Reply]

McCaffery is no Barkley and didn't sniff 2000 yards. Barley needs 30 yards to be the NFLs leading rusher surpassing Terrel Davis. Mcaffery is good, Barkley behind that Oline is a home run hitter. [Reply]
I felt the last time we played the Eagles their "historic" defense was a fugazi and overrated. I don't know that I feel that way this time because of so many ascending players that they have.
I am not scared of Fangio though, at all. Mahomes seems to own him. [Reply]
