Fletcher Cox- 11.5%

This is interesting

Wouldn't mind looking at graham to platoon with Jackson this offseason on a short deal .

I know that pressure is pressure and that they have a top pass rush, but the more I look into it - it's not as impressive as I originally was led to believe from the stat sheet.

we will find out on Sunday, but I just have this feeling everyone is going to be surprised at how we will attack these guys.

It's impressive and there's a reason why only 2 teams have had more than them in a season with another team tied for that amount.

Funny thing is...the team in first place was the 84 Bears(who lost to the 49ers in the NFCCG)

So while it's impressive it doesn't mean every offense they play automatically loses the game playing them. I believe on top of having talented players they tend to rush with 5 guys the bulk of the time. This tends to create 1 on 1 matchups vs opposing OL so it's up to our guys to block their ass off and up to Brock to find the matchup he wants and get the ball there quickly.

It won't be easy but the easiest way to hold that pass rush back or any...stay out of 3rd and long situations. our play on 1st and 2nd down will be absolutely critical and our running game has to be on point. Stay in 3rd and 3 or less and we have a good chance to keep that pass rush at bay.

We're gonna have to play a VERY clean game on both sides of the ball to win this one imo. Hopefully our boys are up to the challenge.

I think we have a huge advantage that hurts is injured. I think they'll be cautious to run plays that expose him too much because everyone knows how violent and aggressive our defense is. You know they're going to hit him every Chance they get (no dirty hits - I'm not down with that). I expect him to get happy feet because he won't want to get hit.

we aren't the giants. Lol the giants are a very average to above average (on their best day). The eagles aren't chumps but I think they're going to be surprised at how well we match up

Split on eagles niners so far, most polls I see 50 50 as well

I wish I had your homerism. They're a good team and I think it's going to be a close game.

Stupid Florio at PFT picked eagles by a point. His counterpart picked us. LFG!

I really don't think we will blow them out. I think it'll be a close game but I think we will be in control.

i just like the way it sounds. Hahah and would love for it to happen.

What forum board are these Eagles fans coming from? What is your forum?

Hurts isn't a cautious player once the game starts. He's smart, and had to be taught to not take unnecessary hits, but he'll engage when he needs to. That's what makes him more dangerous, but obviously also opens him up to potentially more injuries. Though I remember seeing stats that show more serious injuries occurring while a QB is in the pocket vs running. I think this game you'll see him on a third down run with a chance to either get out of bounds short of the first down mark or to cut back inside and force contact, and you'll see him cut back in and use those massive legs to get the first. He doesn't play scared. But there is no doubt he's not 100%, so we'll see if he can hold up if the Niners can get some solid hits on him.

And no, the Giants aren't a great team. They're slightly above average when they put it all together. The sudden media love for the Eagles is the same that they did for the Giants after they best the Vikings in the Wild Card. So much of the media was picking the Giants to upset the Eagles because of how well they played against the Vikings. Now the same media is doing the same thing, but with the Eagles. The talking heads are mostly morons who are ratings whores. But I guess it pays the bills.

I have the game at a coin toss. Hoping for a good game no matter what.

Honestly I never had any interest in going on our own forums. I couldn't even tell you if one exists. Honestly, doesn't seem like something Philly fans would do. Most of us will listen to the large talk radio stations. If you're interested in that the biggest one is 94 WIP, which can be found on the Audacy app or online. Don't listen to the morning crew. They're more of a mix of sports and entertainment. That show ends by 10am. The guys from 10-2 are good, and my favorite are the ones from 2-6. Both shows have former NFLers, and I find a fairly balanced perspective. Oh, all times are Eastern.

I'd rather talk to people with a different perspective who, if they have on homerism glasses, it's not for my team. I just like the varied perspective.

Yeah it's a lot of homerism here too at times. The reason I asked is because I would join like the Chiefs forum when we were in the Super Bowl and debate over there. They would come on here too. Or the Seahawks forum when they were big rivals years ago. I enjoy some other boards too. Visitors are welcome and it provides some other perspectives.

It should be a pretty good game. No pretenders left. The 2 power houses of the NFC. I think either one can win. I just hope for the best. But think it will be a good game.

Over/Under on how many dirty plays Suh has and how many penalties come from them?

Careful what you wish for. My Eagles will be ready to roll on Sunday.

I think we will be ready to roll too. I doubt it will be a blowout. I think it's a tough, hard fought game. Anybody has a chance to win in the end. I think it will be tight. I hope for the best but expect to see a good game.

Kyle needs to bring his A game and out coach Nick for this game
