I GUARANTEE the Eagles will beat the Packers

The Packers have mostly owned Thursday Night Football. Here's a breakdown of their record so far.

Doug Pederson is 4-0 on Thursday night. You can’t beat undefeated.

Also, that article is old. Old Man Rodgers lost last year against the Seahawks.

We were pretty sh*tty for the previous 5 years before last year...Now, 20 games later, we've gone 14-6 and no team has beat us by more than a touchdown. Even with the first week letdown and the hordes of Trubisky haters, it's been a good year plus. In the end, no complaints because the entertainment is finally back.

I hear ya. These last 3+ years with the Eagles, I’ve rarely felt like they were out of a game. It’s been a nice ride and makes football way more enjoyable.

Yes he did lose last year but this year will hopefully be better not playing with a broken leg like he did last year. He said after last weeks game that his jersey has never been cleaner after a game he was only hit once and that he feel great for the Thursday game coming up.

Mike Pettine's defense carrying Packers for a change

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst raised some eyebrows when he handed the Smiths big deals. Through three games, the moves have proven prescient. Preston Smith has 4.5 sacks, seven QB hits and three tackles for loss. Za'Darius Smith has three sacks, seven QB hits and three tackles for loss. Moving inside and outside, Za'Darius has been a menace, generating 19 disruptions (tied for 2nd-most in NFL) and 14 hurries (tied for most in NFL), per Pro Football Focus.

With the Smiths screaming off the edge, Pettine's defense leads the NFL in pressure rate (39.0 percent) -- last year GB had a 26.2 pressure rate (21st in NFL). Notably, Pettine is generating that pressure with only four, blitzing at only a 19.5 percent rate, fifth-lowest in the NFL.

The front four are buoyed by one of the best young secondaries in the NFL. Alexander is fast becoming one of the best cover men in the game, capable of wiping out an opponent's top target (like Sunday when Emmanuel Sanders had just two catches for 10 yards), driving to the ball to create turnovers, and has proven to be a stalwart against the run. Rookie safety Darnell Savage is a rangy playmaker who can cover in space and support the run D -- even as Savage has missed a couple plays here and there, the talent is clear and he should only improve with experience. Free-agent addition Adrian Amos has brought stout hitting and a veteran presence in the secondary.

With linebacker Blake Martinez cleaning up all the trash in the middle, the Packers boast front and back ends that provide difference-making talent. Yes, the run D might need to improve as the season evolves, but in 2019 the NFL is about the pass. The Packers can smother the pass right now.

The Packers racked up 11 sacks against two guys who are notoriously bad at taking sacks - Flacco and Trubisky. That doesn’t mean much.

That’s probably true. Rodgers is also notorious for taking sacks. They’ve been able to protect him a bit by choosing not to throw the ball very much. 27th in attempts and yards. Not very good!!!

He will be trying to stand up with injured tackles against the defense that pressures the QB the best and if he is still standing he will be throwing against the best DB in the leaugue
