TNF-Eagles vs Packers

by

The Eagles steamed into Lambeau Field on Thursday to face the 3-0 Green Bay Packers.
With a beat up squad, limping WRs, one wondered if Carson Wentz would have the tools available to be able to keep up with the strong arm of Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers D has been phenomenal this season, scarring QBs from around the league with their insane pass rush.
One thing that the Packers D hasn’t been tested on, was a good running game.
Jordan Howard certainly showed them what that looked like, with an incredible amount of line-breaking first downs.

This loss for Green Bay certainly adds some hubris to the season, after a loss to the injury ravaged Eagles, and adds a certain jump in the step to all of the NFC North contenders who are looking to gain ground on the cheeseheads.

Not they have 10 days off to see what they can put together.
The Eagles are certainly happy after this.

NFC East Prediction

by

The NFC East has been a bit of a dumpster fire in the past decade, so what’s to say it’s going to get any better?
Can anyone emerge from here that is able to fight off those plucky AFC teams?
There can be only one…and their name is the Philadelphia Eagles.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull look at this tight division to see who might pop from the ashes to take on the NFC contenders.
The Eagles have the best all around team, and with the addition of WR DeSean Jackson, they might have all the tools to go all the way. Will their QB finally rise to the challenge now that the distraction of Big Dick Nick is gone?
Probably.
The healthiness of Carson Went will always be factor, but the running game might also be something to examine.
At the end of it, the Eagles have more tools to go further in this division.

The Giants are a mess. Internally, externally-just a mess.
Yes, Saquon Barkley will be a beast in fantasy, but other than that-it will be watching Eli Manning implode as quickly as the fans do.
They might upset a few games, but mostly themselves.

The Dallas Cowboys are like 3 kids fighting in the back seat while dad ignores them and threatens to smash their toys when they get home.
Everyone wants to get ‘paid’, but do they deserve it and are they worth it in a tight fisted league?
Zeke looks like he is doubtful to suit up soon, and Amari Cooper is probably teetering too.

The Washington Redskins are just atrocious. If there was any time to succumb t the fans and change your name, it’s now.
Dwayne Haskins looks like the kid from ‘Get Out’ stepping into that mental minefield.
Redskins fans will just have to wait and see…and wait and see.

Eagles take the division-Ryan sees them going places.
Wade sees them getting knocked out by the Bears.
Sweet justice.
