DH13 posted:I think he'd be doing fine with this roster. Lots of talent on it. Maybe not better than Pettine but better than he was before the roster makeover. Almost all the high round talent drafted for the D in his later years were busts. It was time for change but look at the talent on that side of the ball from 2015-1017.
You are dreaming. His concepts are way too ancient.
Eagles coach Doug Pederson said WR Desean Jackson will probably miss this week's game vs. #Packers, but he expects Alshon Jeffery and TE Dallas Goedert to play. Jeffery and Goedert have dealt with calf injuries, while Jackson is out with an abdomen injury.

Agree. Just win. Defense is carrying the water right now.
Just think, if we trot last years defense out there we are likely 0-3.
How many of us, back in August, would have guessed this team would be 3-0 given their first three opponents and the fact that there was a new head coach and a new offense to implement? I was guessing we might be 1-2 at this point. Barring significant injuries, I'm confident this defense will keep us in every game. Dallas's offensive line might be the biggest challenge. Once Rodgers masters the new system nobody will want to play this team.
Not just Rodgers. The WRs, TEs, and RBs too.
Last night MLF was talking about 1 of the 3rd qtr throwaways and basically said the route was wrong.
So the route is Rong....Rodgers knows it, gets pissed & Chuck's the ball into the turf to avoid a sack & avoid an INT.
Smert 😉
The Pack needs a WR (or seam splitting TE) that Rodgers can trust (other than Adams). Geronimo....I hear your number being called.
Orrrrr.......
Mr. Green, Mr. Fitzgerald....It's Gutey on line 1
How about:
Mr. Brown, please put your pants back on and take this call.
MVS becoming a consistent deep threat would go a long way in changing the dynamic of this offense. 1.) It would take the doubles with a safety over the top shading Adams. That would mean Adams would see more one on ones. 2.) MVS left catches, including 1st downs on the field. He rounded out a route that he admits wasn't sharp enough to box out the corner last week. He's also dropped passes that literally hit him in the hands.
If he's going to take the next step, he's got to clean up those "little" things in his game. Which I believe he's fully capable of. Kid just has to put it all together

Now if they could roll somebody over to help Al Harris out against Plaxico.

I'm sure MVS is running plenty of go routes. Rodgers needs to let it go once in a while for it to be respected.
Being so risky would probably give him eczema.

we do what we do. Or at least we used to.
Chongo posted:ST are also outstanding. JK Scott in his second season is an elite NFL punter. He’s helped the defense a lot.
in 3 games, kickoffs have had one bad coverage...everything else has been solid.
“elite NFL punter”
Sounds kind of weird. Like an oxymoron.
#Eagles injury report for the Packers game:
— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) September 25, 2019
OUT: CB Ronald Darby (hamstring), WR DeSean Jackson (abdomen), DT Timmy Jernigan (foot).
QUESTIONABLE: RB Corey Clement (shoulder).
The Eagles are all out to win this game they're acting like their season is on the line
#Packers OC Nathaniel Hackett says benchmark for third-down conversion rate is 40%. He views teams in good shape for playoffs if they hit that mark. Right now Packers are 29th in the NFL at 25% third-down conversion rate.
— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) September 25, 2019
Potentially a big opportunity available on Thursday night for rookie Rashan Gary. Even if Za'Darius Smith does play, it's possible the Packers will limit his snaps. Chance for the Packers' top pick to build on his breakout performance in Week 3.
— Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) September 25, 2019
Smith questionable on the injury report just released.
Why do I feel like the season is over?
Boris posted:The Eagles are all out to win this game they're acting like their season is on the line
1-3 would be a pretty deep hole. If they were to go down 3 games behind Dallas their division hopes are in serious jeopardy. They have a lot of issues that a win would cure. I expect a hard fought game and they will bring a SB swagger in with them. People are down on them after the home loss. But they were also down pretty big in wk 1 and came back and stomped the Skins for the win. This game means a lot for both teams.
I'll be at the game again. GB can't lose. That result is built into my ticket price.
Even better knews, have fun PAKRZ I thought all these Thursday nite game were on NFL NETWORK, NOT SO FAST MY YOUNG FRIEND SKULLY. Tomorrows game, Prime Time on FOX. 
And on the NFL Network
I can always root for Doug Peterson’s Eagles......EXCEPT WHEN THEY COME TO LAMBEAU FIELD.

Last season the first two weeks were on NFLN, and then went to broadcast TV.
This season it was the first three weeks.
Next season.....?

I have a bad feeling about this game. I sorta predict that the defense comes crashing back down to earth. The offense remains a work in progress. They are getting more healthy and we are reading and believing our own glowing press reports.

The Eagles have some things that make them a very tough opponent. Best TE we have faced, best QB we have faced, best O-Line we have faced. Their defense hasn’t been great this year, but they can get pressure with just 4 guys which can make Rodgers skittish.
If the Pack wins this one on short rest, it may be the most impressive win so far.

It might be time for the " Dirty Tricksters " from Ashwabanon to earn their pay this morning. where-ever the Eagles are staying, pull the fire alarms, turn off the hot water. turn on the car alarms, outside Carson Wentz's room.

Ugh. I thank Doug Pederson for his time with the Packers BUT, I have no love at all for the Eagles or their fans. If you have ever attended an Eagles game you would definately understand.
As for a prediction I am as always superstitious and won't predict a Packers win in prime time so i will go Eagles 134 Packers 2
