    The Other Game

    Wow. I'm not even thinking about it. I think I've paused that portion of my brain until I see the outcome of Eagles/Cards. Not adding much to the conversation, I know.

    The truth about the Eagles

    True, but in my experience sellouts that go THAT quickly usually mean heavy scalper purchases through various means. Plus additional tickets on brokerage sites when regular season ticket holders start seeing ticket values race upwards. Good points on the rest of your post.

    Saying it RIGHT NOW!! Boldin to EXPLODE!

    Haven't the cards said that Pope is the likely starter? If they are going with the OT-as-TE on the obvious heavy-package run downs, split time between their two RBs, and have three good WRs then it doesn't sound like they have much room for any dual TE sets. Do you guys think Patrick (or...

    The truth about the Eagles

    Mild correction: Pass first, pass second, pass third, run fourth.

    The truth about the Eagles

    Real fans for the Atlanta game, for sure. It's insane to be able to actually acquire a NFL ticket for face value. The Eagles have tortured me by selling out all seats in less than 7 minutes for the last 7-8 years running. Not sure on how to read your final sentence there. Are you saying...

    Saying it RIGHT NOW!! Boldin to EXPLODE!

    I'm really curious about the loss of Spach this week. By many accounts he was key in improving the running game. Do you think the other TEs will be able to fill his shoes for that role after failing at it for most of the early season?

    Good stuff, thanks. Rosenhaus is a cancer to every team that employs one of his clients.

    The truth about the Eagles

    The Eagles are already practicing with piped-in noise this week. They have seen their fair share of loud games. I think Dawkins2112 had a valid point with Ryan. I also think that while crowd noise WILL complicate the play calling for the Eagles a bit this week, it won't be as loud as last...

    The truth about the Eagles

    Did you read my post? I was suggesting that the main reason for the noise was that the real fans had the opportunity to get seats. I don't think that is the case this week. I'm not saying this as anti-Arizona. That's the case with any big conference championship or Super Bowl. Real fans...

    Saying it RIGHT NOW!! Boldin to EXPLODE!

    I hate to even say it, but MLB Bradley has stepped up his game in coverage lately. If the Cards are without a true pass-catching TE for short crossing routes and expect to leave that area entirely up to a slowed Boldin then Q is going to take some seriously hard hits from the LBs and safeties...

    The truth about the Eagles

    The crowd noise factor is going to be interesting. Last week it was nearly a TV blackout until multiple extensions and help from a local pool supply company buying up the leftover tickets. This week the game sold out in six minutes, scalpers have loaded the online broker sites with seats, and...

    The truth about the Eagles

    How do the Cards RBs fair with picking up the blitz?

    The truth about the Eagles

    Donovan's arm has been leaned on heavily for most of his career - even more so in the last 3 or 4 seasons. No real change there. The Eagles have been winning in their most recent games by involving the run. Even with Westbrook not at 100%, he will draw coverage and can still stay in as a...

    The truth about the Eagles

    The Eagles are preparing for it. The team with crowd noise, the coach with additional fat reserves. (Skip the part about Lito) I would post the article link but I'm new and the forum doesn't allow it yet. NOTES: The Eagles practiced indoors with simulated crowd noise to get ready for the...

    Saying it RIGHT NOW!! Boldin to EXPLODE!

    Hey, since we're all sitting around with a realtively slow news week for the big game perhaps you feel like elaborating? As someone who doesn't follow the Cardinals too much, what's the distinction they have with contract talks?

    Saying it RIGHT NOW!! Boldin to EXPLODE!

    Not trying to sound like a jerk, but even if the Cards lost this weekend haven't they overachieved on a lot of expectations just getting to the NFCC? Would it really reflect all that poorly for Boldin to have a mediocre game with an injury?

    Boldin Injury Watch

    No doubt. I'd rather see a wrap-up tackle on Fitz. I'm still waiting to see if Boldin is anywhere near 100%. If he tries to play at 80% he's going to be exposed quickly by nickel and dime packages - either with a jumped route by softy Samuel or a no-look hit by Dawkins/Mikell. Fitz is...

    Desean Jackson

    Hah! We were absolutely cringing about that one on our Eagles forum. No chance of Jackson making that mistake again.

    Desean Jackson

    Yeah it was a big penalty. You sure about LJ starting? The coaching staff seems to have dropped any concerns about keeping him on the field because of his paycheck. Celek has been playing out of his mind lately and I'm loving it. I just hope they give Celek another chance with one of those...

    The truth about the Eagles

    The Giants fans showed up to scream last week, no doubt. With handout cheer towels. I wish I had a better sense of what the Arizona dome was like. I have to default to the real Cards fans on this one. Indoors seems to beat open-air stadiums in most cases. Like any big playoff game, it will...

    Desean Jackson

    Wonderfully irrelevant. We can't lose as fans when Reggie Brown and LJ Smith square off in a "who sees less playing time" contest. I enjoyed last week how LJ came on to the field in a package, got called for a false start, and was immediately recalled back to the sideline. Thank goodness.

    Desean Jackson

    Yep. That's the blessing and the curse that goes with having no real #1 WR threat. In four and five WR/TE/RB sets, any one of them will gladly take the first down that is offered - usually over the middle.

    The truth about the Eagles

    People can't let go of that one. The Linc DOES have both a drunk tank and a holding cell. Just like any other NFL stadium, probably. But it's a far more "family friendly" atmosphere than the Vet. Opposing fans wearing jerseys will receive a little ribbing in the parking lot. But unless...

    Desean Jackson

    I'd say Steve Smith was the only Giants WR to stand out at all last week. If the Cards are putting their best secondary guy on Jackson, that's not the best plan. I'm actually a little more concerned with Rod Hood. He was a standout guy for the Eagles in nickel coverage, missed the...

    Westbrook expects to play despite knee

    It actually helps the Eagles when opponents treat Westbrook as healthy. He's a great decoy back there when he eats up a spy while just sticking near McNabb to pickup the blitz. It's almost like blocking two guys.
