Week 8 Eagles @ Bills

[John]

Could we POSSIBLY end these name-calling arguments and concentrate on the Bills?
The Eagles COULD win if, in my opinion, they play like they care.
Today on Pro Football Talk, BOTH of the guys who make their weekly picks, picked the Eagles to win. If they do win, they COULD salvage this season. We'll see.

We are Eagles fans. Name Calling is in our DNA

Bills win 23-10.

 

[Rey]

We're picking up undrafted rookie free agents to start at DT for us ... on the other side of the ball we're going up against a top Defense to finish off our 3rd straight road game ... should be a barrel of laughs.

 

[Roy Munson]

Bills win 23-10.

how do we possibly hold them to 23?

If they lose they shouldn't even come back.

Eagles 34
Bills 18

We'll just start talking draft earlier than usual

Good point. They are not great on offense. They have a great defense so I was being generous with 10 points for us.

 

[Taddy Mason]

His name is Josh Allen (though their defense could also put up some points).

 

[Orlando Eagles]

What name calling arguments?

21-13 Bills. Ugh.

Eagles 34

MAYBE you're just throwing out numbers, but does the offense wake up finally to be able to sore 34?
It would be nice to see the line protect Wentz better than they have been lately.

the bills are still a mediocre offensive team. i think the defense can step up and provide an average showing. but can the offense step up and do anything? if they can score 24, we win. every time pederson starts to look bad, he shifts heavy to the run game. if he sticks with that.. i can see the eagles winning like 24-17.

The offensive game plan needs to change. Pederson and company are making it easy for the defense to game plan. The Play calling is based on the personnel has on the field. Without any speed defense are able to keep 8 or more in box. We have the personnel to pound it and it has worked all year. We just don't stick with it. Without speed we need play action to work. No one respects the run game when Sanders is in.

Sanders appears to be a better receiver than he is a runner.

You are absolutely correct there and he is a better receiver than Howard.

 

[Orlando Eagles]

Sanders appears to be a better receiver than he is a runner.

Appears shit....he IS a much better receiver.

I know he’s a rook....but there was chatter on him coming into draft that he doesn’t really have that natural runners instincts. That’s not something that is generally taught by the pro level. You have it or you don’t.

Now THAT is a true Philly fan....lol.

Helluva game the Bills D played vs NE, but the others...not so much. I don't feel like their DEF is as good as the ranking...Eagles should be able to score in the 20s. One of the better games on paper this week.

 

[Taddy Mason]

damn, so it seems scandrick might help this team turn it around after all. feel like the fire has finally been lit.
