I don't know if you watched the Pats games this year but they have a very good pass rush, Chandler Jones is very impressive and so are their LB crew so your wrong about that. The only person I'm worried about on the Eagles is Shady McCoy, everything else is easily manageable and as you saw today our D ain't no joke.
Only person is McCoy? God I hope the Cards actually think this way!
True that he is the best player on the team but I wouldn't sleep on Vick, Celek, or DJAX. They have to break through at some point.
Vick is still turning the ball over, and a turnover is a turnover, but only that first pick was his fault. That was one of the dumbest Favre like mistakes I have seen any QB make. And in the redzone!
His 2nd INT was a pass that went through Celek's hands and landed in Reed's lap.
The other 2 turnovers were fumbles, one by the usually sure handed McCoy, and the other by the back up RB Brown. And both in the redzone. Again its a lot of what ifs, but 3 of the 4 turnovers were in the redzone. If they just cut down on the turnovers the offense can be a lot better.
I do know one thing. Cards D is for real. And each week they will be discounted as a team so they will always play to prove something, unlike the Eagles team which is almost always now expected to win 9-11 games. Plus this game is a week before a huge game against the Giants. I just fear Eagles might look ahead
I do like the Eagles chances if Kelce and or Dunlap can come back. I really hope Reid realizes that the line wasn't protecting Vick much when fully healthy and now with potentially two starters out, they really need to focus on running the ball. Plus Maclin might not play. McCoy got the perfect # of carries but they need to give Brown, Lewis, and or Pollack between 10-12 carries as well.
I like DJAX on the turf. I like our DLINE against your OLINE.
