How we feeling tonight brehs?
I could see us getting blown out or some how stealing a W. Obviously hoping it’s the latter but we will see.
Dread. I have the same feeling coming into this game that I did going into the Week 11 Saints game last season. A coaching staff still struggling to start games hot (though Week 3 was a massive improvement), an already-underperforming secondary that's suffering from injuries, a pass rush that’s going to get neutralized by a strong offensive line, a HoF QB who’ll pick apart the secondary with ease, and an inconsistent offense with a lacking run game and no deep threat. The conditions are perfect for the Eagles to get blown out.
I don't put too much stock in the struggles in GB's offense. They were facing some tough secondaries in the Bears and Vikings, with a new HC. Against our secondary, I'm sure they'll figure that all out.
I hope I'm wrong, and I'm certainly not going to say that it's hopeless. But Carson will need to have the game of his life, the offensive line needs to play at their best to counter GB's pass rush, and Alshon will need to be a difference-maker. Then the Eagles can force a shootout that gives them a chance to win.
