God I wish I was going to this game now. You'd think I was Grimace with the amount of purple I'd be wearing. Sorry, that kind of thing emboldens me more than scares me lmaoEagleRob wrote:Heed my advice, come to the game...root for your team, but don't even have purple shoelaces on. Those laces may be the only thing they find of you.
I mean the Rams beat them 42-7 in Seattle. Seattle is not what they use to be. Hence why they didnt make the playoffs.EagleRob wrote:
Seattle injury riddled? You do know how many players we had lost up to that point already right? Starting LT, K, MLB, Pro Bowl punt returner and special teamer Marigoes.(sp?) You think Seattle's D was the reason we lost the game, I can see how you can come to that conclusion by the score. Wilson is why we lost the score. We just couldn't stop his ability to make plays. We had some costly turnovers in that came as well. Look up the stats... not just the score, we outgained them, held the ball longer, just made some costly errors. They won, so I can't deny that. But beating Seattle... in Seattle... is not easy. We all know that right?
You know where it's also not easy playing at?
PS. I'm purposely on here not to be confrontational and disrespect your board like the other guy. I've been on several football boards with Eagles teams... never came across this other poster on here.
The "Linc". Only stadium ever built that included a 4 cell jail. I understand it has since been removed.dead_poet wrote:My biggest disappointment is hearing (repeatedly) how Vikings fans shouldn't wear team colors or fall victim to assault.
That's equal parts sad and infuriating. It's a game. We're all humans. WTF. Maybe try not being an a**hole?
vikes might have a false start or two because of it. but until they start letting fans come on the field, they'll always be nothing more than a distraction that good teams can phase out almost immediately.+1mansquatch wrote:Uhh you only scored 10 points? And you can cite injuries, but you had your Starting QB in for that game. One could make a credible case that not having Wentz, but having all those other guys is probably worse.
Also the Sherman got hurt in that game and Earl Thomas didn't play. So you were playing against only 1 of the 3 elite members of that secondary. Still 10 points...
This is why I think the Vikings have a chance to make this game not close. If your D cannot frustrate our offense you are in trouble. FWIW, I do not think our offense is going to come across points easily, but I'm not sure your offense is going to do much to sustain drives.
I totally agree, particularly if the other team scores less than 20.PurpleMustReign wrote:If either team scores 20, i think that team will win.
Its not to scare you... consider it a public service announcement.Cliff wrote:God I wish I was going to this game now. You'd think I was Grimace with the amount of purple I'd be wearing.

10 points... I admitted we had costly turnovers in that game that cost us points.mansquatch wrote:Uhh you only scored 10 points?

I'm not trying to express an opinion on the overall balance between the teams (I just hope the Vikings' OL can hold off the Philly pass rush for long enough for Keenum to complete short pass after short pass to Thielen, Diggs, Rudolph, McKinnon, and Wright), but the weather forecast for Philadelphia on Sunday is not "cold" by any serious standard. Mostly cloudy, high of 52˚ F (probably dropping toward 40˚ or so during a 6:40 p.m. game), not too much wind, 10% chance of rain. Pretty much perfect conditions for football, really.dead_poet wrote:These are two very evenly-matched teams with "backup" quarterbacks at the helm. {The Eagles} have the advantage playing at home and outdoors and Keenum didn't exactly light the world on fire the last time he played in cold weather in Green Bay.

Thats the thing though, can you say the same thing?? If you defense cant frustrate our offense, we are a team that can put points up on you.EagleRob wrote: "If your D cannot frustrate our offense you are in trouble." - Well I can kind of say the same thing. The only difference is, I think the game will be close, just because both our defenses are so good.
