Eagles as Bears (Sunday Wildcard)

[Orlando Eagles]

...after Miller was knocked out of the game. The Bears had no depth at QB.

That’s right....I did miss on that fact. Losing Miller really put a crimp in things. He had a great year that year.

 

[L.Freamon]

I just brought up the fog bowl again. Maybe it’s worth calling out the 2001 divisional playoff....January, 2002 in Chicago. Bears were something like 13-3 that year with Jim Miller at QB. Weather was very nice to my recollection. And we handled them just fine.

We destroyed them. Hugh Douglas ended Jim Miller's career.

Eagles can win this game. Wont be easy, cus nothing this year ever was.

Yeah he did. But that Eagles D had some serious talent.

Just saw this on facebook ... thought it was pretty funny ... Woooooooooo

Over/under on fog references: I say 5. Over

Over/under on the 09 playoff where the eagles avenged that loss against the bears. Way under....

I was thinking of the 01 divisional as example of when we paid them back in Soldier Field.

Even if I can’t forget the fog bowl anyway.

Fog, mistakes, and McNabb: Eagles have a mixed postseason history in Chicago

There it is. Fog Bowl and then the avenging in 01 Divisional. Next game was first of three NFCCG losses to the Rams. Weird times.

So technically, the Fog Bowl has been avenged (such a silly thing). But isn’t easily forgotten if you lived through it.

 

[Sparky]

Well that's no fun

Eagles have weapons everywhere we need to spread them out and let Nick pick the best option. Sproles, Jeffrey, Aghalor, Tate, Ertz, Goddard, and surprises with Adams and Smallwood. We got this!

 

[eaglesnut]

Legitimately the only earned offensive TDs against them at home all year was the Pats.


Anything can happen, but don't expect to come in there and drop 30 on em' unless there is a Defensive TD or on ST.

Luckily for us Nick Foles is interchangeable with Tom Brady and throwing to better weapons.

 

[eaglesnut]

I look forward to the game.


I like that the Bears played to win against the Vikes, knowing full-well who their opponents would be. I wouldn't want a flukey championship. If they want to be the best, they need to beat the best.

If Mitch can beat this Eagles defense and a veteran coach like Jim Schwartz he will have reached a new level just in time for the playoffs for you. Good chance a champion comes from this game. Great defense and smart offense goes a long way in the playoffs.

 

[eaglesnut]

The Mad Dog has like 6 dropped INTs in the last 3 weeks. He’s due.

Ever since Rasul got his hands on that ball but just missed we have been straining again.

Earlier in the year Pederson said they weren't. That type of play is a perfect example of the difference a millimeter could make. So go the extra millimeter every single time.

I'm loving the way this has all lined up.

Even the Wentz stuff. He was thrown into the fire unexpectedly right away from a small school. It's probably good for him to watch a veteran like Foles operate for a bit.

Both these teams have been playing well recently, whereas the Saints and Rams have both been uninspiring the past few weeks. The Bears stumbled a bit offensively, but the D was there to pick them up...and then they made a statement by dominating Minnesota last week.

The NFC is just stacked right now. Good teams and good coaching.

Same. I think if we can make it past Chicago, we become very dangerous. Confidence will be sky high internally but no one on the outside will give them any respect.

For how good the Rams are, their 3 losses came to 3 other NFC teams in the playoffs, both the Bears and Eagles being in that group, along with the Saints. Other than having home field advantage, i wouldn't feel too great confident as a Rams fan.

If the Eagles were to win, that means L.A. would see Dallas/Seattle at home while the Eagles go to New Orleans, otherwise the Rams get the Bears who already beat them. If they were to beat the Bears, they'd have to go to New Orleans (most likely) where they already lost once. Although, Dallas did beat New Orleans not too long ago.

Should be a fun playoffs on the NFC side.

Eagles 17
Bears 9

They won't get in.

Had to change my travel schedule to be able to watch this.

Yes yes yes 01 not 09. Thanks and my bad on that

I meant to say 01 playoffs not 09

 

[Four4Four]

If the bears think they're winning base off of regular season stats, then they would get rule awakening. Birds 17-9.
