QB Nick Foles had 152.8 passer rating in Nov, highest in ANY calendar month in @nfl history, min 50 attempts. (h/t @RLiuNFL) #FlyEaglesFly

Of course, he did this against lesser defenses. What will he look like hosting a legit Cardinals defense? Will he carve us up or will he have a long day?

Guys like Manning, Rodgers and Brady are clearly capable of caring us up.

The only QB to carve us up was Brees. That said, Foles isn't the only worry. The Eagles have the top rushing attack in the league. We have the #2 rushing defense in the league. This game is looking like it will be a donnybrook.

Same caliber as the ones i listed. Those guys are easily capable of carving up any D at any given time.

I can't wait to see our D in action in The Vet...cold weather, swirling winds...I hope we just knock the snot out of Philly!

If this game ends up with us winning 6-3, I'd be happy.

I hope the team doesn't actually show up at the Vet...

You know, with it being demolished long ago and all...

Last Eagles game at the Vet was the 2003 NFC Championship game. They now play at Lincoln Financial Field and the wind does not swirl.

Yes, but a parking lot is where the stadium used to be with markings where the goalposts used to stand so maybe they can play some touch football.

I have to be honest, he scares me. He pulled things out of his rectum at Arizona that blew my mind. He has superb short term memory and doesn't get frazzled. He rarely throws picks because he throws it away before he forces it. If ANYONE gets loose behind the secondary, he will find them.

That being said, he can be beaten, and the best way to do it is to keep forcing pressure in the middle and making him get outside of the pocket or throw it away. He's not the best at throwing on the run, and he will toss it out of bounds if he's hurried and doesn't see an immediate option.

You describe him as if we're playing Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. All I see is Napoleon Dynamite. :D

I'm not scared of Nick Foles, and do not have any ties to collegiate Arizona football other than a Jake Plummer rookie jersey :)
