Next Up: vs Eagles

This one will be the test if the Ardarius and Hamilton combo has come to save us. This is the first game where there's 2 WR threats and a RB

If Roquan plays they have a shot. I think if he doesn’t this will be a long game. Dobbins was having success until the injury and Barkley is a much better RB and the Eagles have a much better OLine.

Honestly I don’t think Hurts is a top 10 QB. He is probably the weak link on their offense. They have a top 2 OLine (and I would argue they aren’t 2), a top 2 RB, 2 top 10 WRs (one of who is certainly top 5), and top 10 TE. That’s ignoring their front 7 plus they have 2 REALLY good young corners (as an aside this rookie class is looking like a generational CB class early on).

People thought the Eagles had a top 3 roster BEFORE it turned out their draft was a home run. This game is going to be tough.

Agreed on most of that. Agree the OLine has really rounded into shape and has re-taken the lead over Detroit is best in the NFL. That's a top10 guy at every spot. Goedert's a good player and will be key against us, if he really is still a top 10 guy he'll need to show it this sunday. I actually think their defense is sort of the opposite of their usual formula, as in the back 7 is the strength where the depth is. They usually build that team with waves of D-Linemen but this year its really more like one superstar in Jalen Carter and bunch of average guys around him who occasionally flash.

You are right, Hurts is not playing like a top 10 QB, he's playing like a fringe starter so you have to think the plan would be run blitzes to stop Barkley, Hump on AJ and make Hurts beat you. Lastly, Jake "Missy" Elliot is another perennial top 5 kicker who has struggled mightily this year (sound familiar). The kicker who gets his shit together on Sunday very possibly could win this game.

Yeah even with him i don't think our defense is particularly good. I'm very glad to see them playing waayyyy more respectable the last 2 weeks. They certsinly haven't looked like the worst defense in the league. With that being said if Smith can play, their trio is gonna show whether the personell changes and Orrs playcalling have really improved or we just played 2 extremely mediocre teams recently.

Not you specifically, but don't @ me about the comment of those 2 teams being mediocre. Both are mid af and have no chance to win a SB

I was bullish through all the blow ups and I'm sold now. They found their combo on the back end and we are back to having a Ravens defense. Obviously not the historic one we had last year (we'll have to do with only a historic offense this time ;)), but an above average/fringe top 10 D going forward.

I really hope so!
 
If they win by a "Brotherly Shove", I will shit on my coffee table and post the evidence in the game thread.
 
Yall are crazy. Hurtz blows, no shot we let him beat us.

Fuck the Eagles. I have hated them since my father tore up my Eagles team football card for riding my bike on the forbidden highway.

This isn’t therapy , shove it back down and never talk about it again lol
 
Eagles routinely take over the Commanders' stadium. Wouldn't surprise me if it's almost a 50/50 split of fans for our stadium.
