I'm still trying to wrap my head around this Niles Paul - leading receiver thing.
Philly be nice to our players families! We expect nothing but the best in hospitality treatment from you!

It must be something in the water over there!

Things in our favor next week.

Philly will be coming off a short week.
Our Running game has looked good the past two weeks.
We get Meriweather back (ok this one is debatable)

Thing against us....

Its on the road.
We really dont know hat we will get out of Kirk
Our defense has shown a historical tendency to give up the big play which Philly feasts off of.


I think tonight game and how Philly fares will give us a better picture of what to expect next week. I think the Colts come out early and try to rattle Foles. And if that works, it gives me a bit more confidence in our chances next week.

Watching the eagle game so far, and from what they have on the line, especially on the right side... Haslett should be all smiles.

if we play bend but dont break , and miss tackles we will lose . we cant give up YAC

on offense we need long drives that result in tds

dont make at all about KC

Next week SHOULD be all about Alfred and the defense if Gruden is as smart as we all hope. Control the clock, get after Foles early and often, and for frak sake limit Rambo's exposure.

Eagles are playing some sloppy ball on offense, nine penalties.. six on the offense.

Not just Rambo, Hall too.....he is definitely good for at least one big play or long TD per game (Dallas games excepted) Luck or penalty are the only reasons why he's not been burned in the first two games. Also don't look for help from him with Rambo, his being out of position are the primary reasons why Rambo's been exposed to this point.

Looks like the Eagles are a second half team! Warning to DC fans.......if the team goes up by 17 at the half they are in trouble.

Should be a fun one. Hope you have an answer for Lesean McCoy and Darren Sproles in the open field!

 

[countryroads316]

What hurt the Colts is they have no pass rush

Well we better have an answer at least slow them down. They are simpling running a quick pace game which is awful hard to defend. However if we play good basic football, tackling, take care of the ball,penalties, ST's etc things will be very interesting and I like our chances. Now there are some other factors as well like that read option you guys use. We seen this in practices with RG3. To me if I was the Skins DEF coach I would not be scare to blitz the Eagles in certain formations to create some TO's. Also as noted by some here on a different thread a good little physical running game will also help. All of these factors stood out tonight.

Both teams have major weaknesses. Philly have problems with that unbalance formation. I noticed that the SKINS were running this formation alot in the 4th quarter vs Jacksonville.

Bottom line we will have our hands.

Interesting stat.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

We may want to try the hard count.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Obviously this is going to have to be a priority

Haven't had a chance to watch the Eagle/Indy game yet, but heard there was some success for Indy getting Philly to jump with that.
