Let's Go Philly.. Let's Break it down..

[bleedingpurple]

Well the Bears had their chances and effed em up. Nice Job Cutler.. :facepalm:

I guess the Pack making it into the playoffs gives me another Sunday of watching the Pack with my buddies at the Packer Bar.. I wish I could you tube the damn thing if I knew how.. They all hook fingers after a first down, they sound a siren on every kick off. Half time is food and the playing of "we go Green Bay" until the second half kickoff. They have a life sized cardboard statue of Aaron Rodgers, they still have the Favre statue but it is hidden in the back room. They jump and holler and I am usually the only one dressed in purple. Been wearing the AP jersey but this week I will pull out the Favre roadie or maybe I can make a generic Eagle Jersey with 7 on it and have it say Prick instead of Vick. They know who I am rooting for but I never rub it in to those guys when they lose.

Anyway its a ton of fun and comical... yeah I am a little bit jealous cause my Viking Posse is only 2 - 3 and they won't come to the Packer bar to watch the Pack. So let's break this down..

 

[bleedingpurple]

Offense:

QB - I like Rogers better than Vick, Vick can get a bit rattled at the same time Vick is perfect for a blitzing team like the Pack cause he can evade the rush. If Rogers has time he is a better passer..

RB - Got to go with McCoy over anything the Pack has. I just do not understand why the Packers do not make Starks the starting rb.. Much better than Jackson.. Kuhn coming in for the pack is telegraphed but I like how hard he plays and he is a smart ball player.

WR - They are about even. Eagles are more explosive but Driver and Jennings have knack and I think they are smarter than the Eagles wides. Can't stand Jackson.. What a cocky prick but what a talent.

Defense

This is wear Green Bay has a huge advantage. They are better all around and it is harder than hell to sustain a long drive on them. Red Zone D has been fantastic too. Eagles D can get pushed around and they are horrible in red zone defense.

Special Teams.. Eagles easily have the advantage with Akers and jackson returning punts.. GB's punter did a hell of a job last week.

Prediction

Packer 31 Eagles 23

I hate to say it but the Packers defense is light years ahead of Phillys and I think it makes the difference. Plus I think their blitzing scheme will force Vick into a couple turnovers. Vikes should of picked him off a bunch..

Eagles special teams could be the deciding factor but I think the Pack plays Starks at RB more and I do not see them stopping Roger's passising game.

Nice breakdown. I hope your right. The Packers defense has been playing well, but chasing Vick around is scary and I can see him making plays instead of turnovers.

isn`t it funny how most of the national experts are throwing philly under the bus after a few rough outings?....

they were so far up vickk`s ass a few weeks ago,they could smell his shampoo......

seems that vick has done what he did in altlanta...only quicker in philly...he started out like a comet and has slowed to a crawl....

do the defenses just get wise?...or does vick just tire or become less motivated?.....seems like the guy blows hot for awhile and then shits the bed....

imo,though,i think we`ll see the good vick this weekend....theres so much talent around him now.....

should be a great game...

They have put brand new synthetic grass on the field to make it the fastest track in football, fwiw!

You guys are going way too far with the Vick slowing down theory. The Eagles as a whole were due for a letdown in that Vikings game on Tues after the Superman performance Vick had to come back and beat the Giants.

The Eagles rested Vick last week so it was one bad game on a Tues in a weird week. Lets keep it real. The Packers havnt been that good this season and this game could go either way. :0corn

Yep this game could go either way and I am not cutting down Vick. I am more or less cutting down the Eagles defense because I think it stinks. I will take Rogers vs Eagles defense over VIck vs Pack defense.

What can offset that is GB fumbles, Philly's special teams, and McCoy. I think the breakdowns are in the Pack's favor cause they will rush the passer and their secondary is damn good.. McCoy needs a big day. JMO

"imo,though,i think we`ll see the good vick this weekend....theres so much talent around him now".....

nope...i`m expecting a good effort from the felon this weekend...hoping that line drops a teensy bit before i jump in(-1.5 is nice..but not at -130)......

i think that going forward...over the long haul(like by the end of next year) he`ll start to wear thin on those cultured philly fans...

BP agree with most your thoughts, but you left out coaching, which in playoffs i think is more important then just about anything.


Andy Reid IMO is much better then mccarthy and I think that alone could make a huge difference in the outcome. i think reid will find ways too slow down rodgrs, and on offense, i think he will be able too figure out how too move the ball on the pack. the packers can at times be vulnerable too vick gettin outside the pocket with how fast and downhill they play. if playaction and bootlegs can be succesful, i think philly will be able to score a bunch....

GL with whatever ya play, i jumped on the over, but also have a small futures bet on philly too win it all

I was just thinking about Coaching and was just going to add in that Reid is much better than McCarthy. I really think the Pack win in spite of that guy.. He gets very very conservative late in tight games.

Still I think the Philly defense sucks and I think the Pack will get in the 30s. Remember the Pack allows less than 17 points per game on average.

One bad game that could have given them a chance at a 2 seed and the come out flat vs a team with nothing to play for and a 3rd string qb sitting in a hotel room for 3 days they should have rolled that team,the Dallas game was meaningless,does it matter that they head into the playoffs on a 2 game losing streak?I think so..go back to the Houston game at the stink,I was there,they could'nt stop that team,the bears threw it allover them,the ny game except for 7 freaking minutes was a blowout,if they pressure and hit sick Vick,take away the long ball from Jackson this game will be over quick,tough task but green bays capable,Rogers will throw it allover phillys defense,weather won't be a factor..green bay 33-20 enjoy the game I'm heading to a/city to watch

Philly fans could care less about pot smoking or dog fighting if it means wins. Vick isnt an alter boy but hes certainly not a hardened criminal.

He will do everything in his power to beat the Packers this week and the rest of the Eagles will follow him.

Im staying away from betting this game myself. opcorn2

The regular season ending will mean ZERO heading into the playoffs. Why would it? The playoffs are a brand new season. BOL Bro

 

[bleedingpurple]

Don't get me wrong, I will be rooting heavily for the Eagles winning. I hope Vick goes up and down the field on em. I hope Rogers hits the ground again and again and again. I just think the Pack are much better defensive team.

 

[joeyd]

U too bro..but the end of the reg has something to do with the playoffs,especially the teams that just played last week,you don't think Seattle will have a little momentum come Saturday,or that pack seems to gaining steam,and you won't layoff,the birds are your squad make a pick dammit..

 

[joeyd]

Bpurp,since my giants got kicked out I've kinda latched on to this g.bay team,a guy in my group of golfers I play with is from wisconsin so I'm kinda poolin for him,he's a good dude..

And I hate the eagles:shrug:

I was at the Minny game and they couldn't have been any flatter. Even the fans were flat, it was bizarre. We were louder at the Jax game away then we were that tuesday night. Everyone assumed it would be a cakewalk, and they came to play and we looked like shit.
Our defense is banged up and offensive line has serious holes in it. Green Bay is much more of a complete team. That being said, this team should be ready to play their asses off and G bay has endured a much rougher 4 week path.

Eagles 27- Green Bay 20 kurby
