Breaking Down The Eagles Regular Season Cup Cake Schedule

[sportsbet]

There is one simple question...


Can the Eagles scored 27-28 points in this game? They will need to to come close. Everyone talkas about the Eagels defense. What offensive juggernauts ahve they played this year?

Pats played some pretty high powered offences this year and shut them downeasilly.

That Pitt game to me was a joke. It was like NE let them score just to keep it interesting...

Remeber when Pitt made it 24-31 everyone thought thwey were back in the game? NE marched down with one of those back breakers and scored again. They were toying with that team pretty much.

Granted, getting up huge can break a team menatally, but NE made it look like Pitt was fighting back in that game. They were throwing the ball and not trying to run out the clock. And when they did run the plays were so obvious that anyone could have figured it out.

That was one of the few games I watched from start to finish all year, and it was no contest.

Injury or not, NE dominated that game, just like they dominated teams all year long.

They have scored 27 or more points in over half their games. Some of those games they could have really run it up. They have a very underrated offence, and with Weis leaving he has thrown the book at teams. What about all these 50+ yard pass plays NE is throwing lately. Or the reverses or the stunt plays? I saw stuff in the Pitt game I have never seen NE do (when it was a game) then they went back to the scripted stuff and Pitt did what I mentioned earlier. But then NE went to the good stuff and scored a couple more times.

You can make all the excuses and all the stuff you want. NE is basically fooling around with most of these teams. Even Indy. THAT one I admit was alittle tainted, but they still kept them far far away from scoring. With a 'depleted' secondary, and 'guys who don't stand a chance against that type of talent".

Lets also not forget NE beat Pitt IN Pittsburgh, not only beat them, but EMBARRASSED them. THAT win holds alot more weight than Phi playing against a sub 500 team at home, then a one man (dome) team with a new system and a rookie head coach. That win over Atl was akin to NE's win over Indy. Excpet Indy has more than one player on that team.

Eagles will need 24 points to win this game and they will win this game.

NE also was also EMBARRASSED in Pittsburgh by Pittsburgh. The Eagles aren't some young team with no experienced players going out there against New England (like Carolina was last year and lost by 3 points). If Big Ben doesn't implode under pressure with an injury the Steelers go to Jacksonville. New England's defense bailed them out and saved them.

The Patriots 2 playoff wins were less than impressive with a win outdoors against a dome baby (the Colts in the playoffs have proven for YEARS that when they get outside they are no good) in a SNOWSTORM and a rookie QB in Big Ben who did more harm than good playing hurt and making bad decisions with the football (that INT for a TD was a killer to make it 24-3 and yet the Steelers STILL came back and made a game of it).

We beat two dome teams outdoors at home...it's not a ringing endorsement either but I have not seen anything over the last few weeks to justify thinking the Patriots are 7+ points better than the Eagles. Look at how Minnesota got to the 2nd round (by beating the odds outdoors against the Green Bay Packers and Brett Farve in Lambeau Field). In fact it is because of the Patriots play the last few weeks that I feel even better about an Eagles moneyline play.

The Eagles can't win without TO....The Eagles can't cover the Vikings wideouts...The Eagles can't cover 10 points against Minnesota so let's bet the line down to 7.5...The Eagles can't stop Vick...The Eagles can't stop the running game of Duckett, Dunn and Vick.

I've heard it all the last few weeks...people underestimate this team all the time. Hopefully they don't underestimate them here. :toast:

You think the Eagles had a tougher playoff schedule? How can you say the two playoff wins were not impressive? It was domination...the Colts have proven to be a decent road team (for a dome team)

When this game is over , your team will be listed back at #6 in all of football behind the Colts and the rest of the AFC teams...

The Miami Dolphins were more impressive at the end of the year. The Colts outdoors in a snowstorm are a joke. Show me where the Colts have had outdoor success in the playoffs JMan (and not the BALTIMORE COLTS you homer!)

The Patriots run and stop the run better than the Eagles.

The Steelers ran and stopped the run better than the Patriots last week too. The numbers since we made our adjustments on defense are much better against the run (80 ypg allowed on the ground).

The Patriots' offseason acquisition, running back Corey Dillon, is healthier than the Eagles' offseason acquisition, wide receiver Terrell Owens.

They're kidding right? They both will play....this comparision is laughable.

The Patriots are getting so used to Super Bowl trips they mark it on their calendars; the Eagles are just glad to finally be there.

This is the only thing that bothers me. If they are just happy to make it and they play that way New England will have their way with the birds.

Turnovers are always a key. The Patriots were plus-9, the Eagles plus-6 on the season. In the postseason, the Patriots haven't lost a fumble or thrown an interception; the Eagles have lost just one fumble.

That proves they are pretty even teams.

Don't waste your money! Eagles win win win!!!

Eagles played quite a few games against teams that were palying it's best. Then after the Eagels crushed them their seasons tanked.

* When the played Green Bay everyone and their mom was talking about how hot GB was and how they have a legit shot at the championship, people on this message baord were bragging about the future odds they had on GB, then the Eagles destroyed them and they tanked it.

* The Vikings early in the year were playing great and considered real contenders until the eagles handled them easily.

* Detriot was off to a fast start before the egales took them out.


THE EAGLES ARE 15-1 THIS SEASON TO DATE IN GAMES WHERE THEY PLAYED (NOT PRESEASON OR LAST 2 GAMES WHICH WERE BASICALLY PRESEASON GAMES) THEY WON MOST OF THEIR GAMES BY DOUBLE DIGITS.
THEY ONLY HAD ONE LOSS ON THE ROAD TO A TOP TEAM WITHOUT ARGUABLY THEIR MOST IMPORTANT OFFENSICE PLAYER (WESTBROOK)

15-1 AND MOSTLY BLOWOUTS AND THEY STILL DON'T GET CREDIT, TOO FUNNY.

the most glaring stat of all: andy ried 9-0 after a bye week

 

[sean8499]

eagles will score at least 28 pts....but more likely will land in the 30s. The defence can hold Pats to 20 pts. I can't wait to wipe that smirk off all the N England fans.

Best of luck to all Eagle fans.

Willy we're just happy to be playing the best. It makes winning the Lombardi Trophy that much sweeter if we can do this.
