I see the offense struggle in this game. We just don't have good enough OLine play, and Philly will blitz Smith often. When Smith is blitzed, he rushes throws to lead to incompletions or makes a mistake. Philly's secondary can cover our WR's easily....so Davis and Walker might have to be the keys. If our OLine can give Smith time, we have a chance.
As far as our defense....we will probably limit Mccoy....but if Vick plays...he may cause some trouble.
Boy...if we do win....coming back home to play Tampa will make it more exciting....I'll be at that game.

The league finally starts to take notice after a gritty 27-23 Niners' victory.

As difficult as this game seems to win, I think that 9ers have a chance to win. The defense is one good hit away from sitting Vick down. Our defensive front is a lot stronger than the Eagles front line. They should be able to pressure Vick. But, can it contain Jackson on broken plays or when the Eagles' QB's are given some time to throw. The key will be if the 9ers are able to run the ball. The eagles are strong in the secondary and at DE but not as strong up the middle or at LB. Regardless should be a good one.
9ers 21- 17

From what I have seen so far, those dbs of the eagles are far less effective as a unit than the individual names would suggest. We should be able to take advantage of their mediocre lbs and safeties with Vernon and Delanie. The real key is, and will remain the offensive line, if they can get the running game going, we should be able to hang with this overrated Eagles squad.

If we score more than them we WILL win, then the idiots on NFL network can kiss our collective asses.

I'm not sure if that is true about Smith. It certainly hasn't been true this year as he's been blitzed a lot and hasn't thrown INTs. Remember last year a bunch of Smith's INT weren't because of blitzing but because of WRs not catching the ball or running a different route. I believe Crabs caused at least two or three INTs.

Which why they will probably play us man and have bodies to blitz or double Vernon.

Jim is gonna have to come up with a really great game plan that can attack their weaknesses on D, which is the LB core.
Must get both TE's involved in the passing attack and get Hunter out of the backfield and 1 on 1 against those LB's.
Would like to see a trick play or 2 early to back up the db's a bit also.
The oline is gonna need to step up and give Frank and Hunter room to run and keep the time of position in our favor.
I expect our D to put a hurt on Vick.

Philly doesn't blitz anymore. their LBs suck. with that said, their front four will probably beat our five o-linemen.
