Thread: Philly game..........

Some notes:

Moss will be a non-factor (he hasn't been healthy since 1st half of NO game).

Marcus Robinson (who?) will HAVE to have a near career day to give the Vikings a chance.

Vikings will have to rush for at least 150 yards.

Adjust passing routes to the blitz (something I think they have had some trouble doing in the past).

If the Vikings get to the "red zone", they will have to come away with touchdowns, not field goals.

I am as big a Viking fan as there is, but, I just don't feel as good about this one as I did last week. I don't think we will have to worry about Moss shakin' anything!

Philly's physical defense too much for the Vikes:

Eagles-30
Vikings-13

Dude, As much as I hate to see this type of outcome, my gut tells
me you're right on this one. When you look back on the
packer game, we only struggled in the third qtr. Three
consecutive posessions with a total of 6 yards. This is the only
time in the game that Green Bays "D" put pressure on us, and
look what it did! It's simple, when Daunte is not under
pressure, he's as good as anybody in the league. Put pressure
on him and its all over. Philly will blitz and stunt all day. You will
see McKinnie get smoked at least 6 to 8 times. With Moss at
at about 60%, we're gonna need Robinson to wake up and have
a huge day. We're gonna need turnovers again to stay in this
game. A no turnover game and its gonna be a long day.

kilin us guys! YES it is possible but look at OTHER afactors which have been mentioned here already! OLD mo is with us JUSt like the Pack I think the Iggles will be over confident! They will be rusty as well no TO etc EVEN tho I don t think he is all that and never have He is an average to slightly above averasge receiver in the NFL. Remeber Robinson is quite capable H eis the ONE who KEPT us out of the payoffs last year, no? Screens draws TE dumps will be the order of the day early to negate Philly's pass rush and blitzes AND then we will light open it up against their secondary. YES Moss and the other s becuase man up I think oour pass O and receivers are better, and YES I agree we wil need to be able to run the ball 1/2 way well to win. I think the BIG Q is whether or not our secondary can will come to play like they did last week? If they do and can we will win and BIG at that! I think our front four will bring it to Mc Nots more than he might anticipate! He reminds me of Fayve with a lil pressure he will make huge mistakes! Westbrook and Mc Nabb I hope sincerely our game plan is to "mirror" them all day with TWO of our LB's Henderson Mc Notts and Cliaborne on Westbrook ! We stop them two and nuff said game over! Vikes shoc em again up at Philly with the same margin at GB 31 - 17 SKOL!

Are you guys crazy? The vikings have the upper hand in this game. We should have won the last game and if it weren't for the mistakes in the redzone, we would have won it handley No T.O this time around,and philly has rested their starters WAY too much Vikes 27 philly 17 :argue: FROM CHEESEHEADS TO CHEESESTEAKS THIS IS THE VIKINGS YEAR

I wouldn't count on McNabb making mistakes. He only had 8 interceptions this season in nearly 500 attempts. I think Jim Johnson is going to send wave after wave of blitzes at Culpepper from every imaginable angle. I just don't see the Vikes pulling this one out. Too many things have to go wrong for the Eagles, and Andy Reid teams don't make mistakes.

You all forgot to mention one man, you forgot about him and so will the Eagles until he has two TDs and 150 yards on Sunday. Nate Burleson. Nate managed to grab 68 passes for 1006 yards and 9 TDs this year and he will come to play on Sunday. :rr: NATE DOGG and RANDY MOSS came to regulate.

yeah McNabb has only 8 ints WITH TO. Dont you think it might be a little bit harder without him? Our defense will have to play its best game of the season, but it is definitely possible to shut McNabb down.

Who's covering Westbrook while you're shutting McNabb down?

And you have him covered, who's assignment is LJ Smith?

I wonder is the Eagles honestly believe they have a better offense?

"Moss a non-factor", lol.

The Eagles playing without TO are like the Vikings playing without Randy Moss. An average offense. We are going to run the ball down their throats. The Eagles are only 24th against the run on defense and we have great running backs. If Pep can beat the blitz we win this game.
