Looks like we see Eagles next Week

**Brewtal** · 12-30-2008, 07:27 PM

Vikings are a very tallented team, I think we match up quite well as long as TJ keeps playing as well as he has and the Defence steps up and plays like I know they can.
Our most blantent weekness is our special teams and I believe their coach is far supierier then Childress.

Just compare the 2 minute drives the Vikings had aginst Giants to Reids vs Dallas.
1st Half we have the ball NY gets a field goal.
2nd half Chilldress seemed lost made very poor play calls by not running a final play and letting the clock run down only to be saved by one of the best kickers in the league.

Reid in the closing 2 minutes of the half called the right plays to move the ball down the field and stop the clock, did not looked rushed and showed poise as if he had the situation under controll.

I give the edge to the Vikings unless, we will lose if the special teams does not show up and if Childress is out coached.

I think the beat down of the Cowgirls will give the Eagles a false sense of superiority.
Especially with all the media going ga-ga over them.

They will be ripe for the picking.

The Eagles are just one more step in our path to the SB.

Vikings 28 Eagles 21

The Vikings are 6-2 at home this year... their only two loses coming to dome teams (Atlanta and Indianapolis). They won every home game against teams that don't play in domes.

The Eagles, on the other hand, have not played a single game all year in a dome. All 16 of their games have been played outdoors.

Those two losses at home could have very easily been wins also...

Already mentioned.

I think some things are in place for us this week that will help us out.

1.
We are at home
2.
We have a very solid run D
3.
I am not overly impressed with their receivers, though McNabb is impressive
4.
McNabb is not overly mobile anymore

Now, that being said, there are things that scare me

1.
McNabb
2.
Eagles D
3.
TJacks inexperience

Now, I really do like our chances.
I feel we will emerge victorious, though it will be hard fought.

sounds like these guys are not happy with their coaches..

http://www.700level.com/fansview/nosebleeds/12112/1.aspx

Checkout today's bitchslap of a column, including these choice phrases:

Take away Westbrook, and you have Temple football, in green and white uniforms.

Can somebody please explain what the hell is going on with Reggie Brown?

The Eagles also needed more discipline last season, when they were the most penalized team in the NFL. Wonder when the problem might be addressed?

I've also started to respect Phil Sheridan, who gave a mild ripping on Reid's crippling addiction to the pass on Monday:

It was almost as if Reid and Mornhinweg held the QB up while the Giants defenders pounded him.

What's surprising is that Reid and Mornhinweg didn't make any perceptible adjustments to protect McNabb. Isn't that what coaches do?

The serious passaholic is always making excuses. There was something on film he thought he could exploit. The run game wasn't quite working. The other team had the lead, so he had no choice but to throw. The dog ate the running plays.

If TJ's inexperience scares you, what about the rest of the inexperienced players?

AD
Cook
Tahi
Shank
Edwards
Robison
Griffin

tj's inexperience has let to losses, whereas AD's,
Tahi's, Shank's, Edwards, robison's and Griffin's has not. (AD's fumbles led to losses, but I think thats something other than inexperience)
TJ will make or break this game, and against that complex blitz scheme Philly runs, This could get ugly.
He needs to get real comfortable, real quick, I expect to see a lot of short stuff and lots of runs on sunday, to help out TJ.
