NFC Wild Card: Packers @ Eagles

[ProfessaPackMan]

DE Cullen Jenkins returned to practice today for the first time since Dec. 4th.

I think the Eagles win this game.

I just thought about how scary Vick will be next year if he continues to work like this. Imagine him having a full off-season as the "guy" to prepare for an upcoming season. Thats one more year in this offense working with his WR's ,watching film and correcting more of the flaws in his game.

Yea...but what's decieving is that Vick made up 100 of the Eagles overall rushing attempts, and a vast majority of those 100 attempts were not by design running plays but more/less broken down passing plays.

LeSean McCoy had 207 carries. By comparison...Frank Gore had 204 and played only 12 games.

Yea I was going to say I'm pretty sure that 41% is because of Vick taking off himself.

Everything is stacked against the Eagles, so it's really hard to pick them. Their defense HAS to step up, or I'm not liking the Eagles' chances.

Packers playoff bandwagon is getting crowded, but I'm hopping on

The blueprint is out on how to beat Mike Vick and the Eagles n I really don't think there's anything Philly can do to stop the Packers pass rush

Someone please explain how the Packers beat the Eagles, Aaron Rodgers has had 3 concussions, he shouldn't be playing football anymore 1 more hit and his Career can be over


Who do the Packers have on D to really stop them, Clay Matthews is pretty overated and Im going to bluntly say that Celek could run routes around him all day, thier secondary is shoddy really the only standout is Woodson and for good reason of course.


I also love how everyone is making this Vikings game a huge issue tell me when you can go 15 Games on Sundays only then to be pushed to a TUESDAY and still keep a great level of play.

Not to mention the Packers almost lost that Week 1 game considering Kevin Kolb was starting. Kolb can't even throw a tight ball ( I've seen it first hand)

Well, let the fun and games begin. The Eagles can walk on water and are not beatable.

The Eagles secondary is shoddy at best. Samuel is the only good one and he takes too many chances. 4 outstanding WR's vs 1 good corner?

Erik Walden? Heard of him? Defensive player of the week last week, 16 tackles, 3 sacks on the other side of Matthews.

Who will the Eagles double team? Matthews, Raji, Jenkins or Walden? Someone will break free, especially since your OL is average at best.

The Eagles can thank Matthews for concussing Kolb or else Vick wouldn't of entered the game.

By the way, Rodgers has two concussions.

Really, the Vikings had to travel halfway across the country and play on Tuesday too. Traveling, boredom and fatigue sets in before even playing the game for the Vikes. Plus, they had nothing to play for.

You don't really know the Packers that well. Tramon Williams is the Packers shutdown corner, not Woodson anymore.

Other Eagles fans, no disrespect, but needed to respond to this one.

The old saying still rings true, each teams fans have one.

By the way JBH3, good point on the 41% running figure. I completely forgot the number of times Vick carried the ball.

By the way, tongue in cheek, I played the game out in Madden. Packers 23, Eagles 20. The Packers had 4 sacks and held Vick in check running and passing. The game came down to the wire.

Good luck!!
