  1. You may have found it on the Eagles site,  but the Eagles didn't put this out.     It looks like it was done by the people who run the Eagles page on SB Nation.

    It's done by Philadelphiaeagles.com, the official site. SBNation just yanks it from there. Goto pe.com now and it should be the splash page.

  2. I read on ESPN.com he is very fragile and they wondered how long he would last.  I believe it was on Insider.  I will see if I can find the link.

    Last year he had a concussion that made him miss a game, and then in week 1 against Jacksonville he seemed to hurt his knee in the first quarter. But his second half passer rating was like 120, some I'm not sure how bad he was hurt.

  3. Hey guys, Eagles fan here perusing the site before the game. Just want to drop some knowledge for you guys to get to know the opponent a little more before the game starts.

    They lost their offensive line.... If we can't stop them we seriously need help on defense

    They shouldn't score more than 17

    We still have 3 of 5 starting offensive lineman, and we recently signed a guard from the Texans you guys might know. He was in the pro bowl 2 years ago, his name is Wade Bryan or something like that. It was either him or Eric Winston and we went with him. So our line is banged up, but it's relatively fine. They did seem to play better after the injuries, but who knows.

    Little bit of an overstatement, as I don't think any of the remaining starters are actually top five at their positions, but your point is well taken.  Fact remains that they gave up five sacks to Jax last week, so the line may be an issue for them.  Their top interior back-up (Tobin) is still too injured to play, so they're scraping the bottom of their barrell, but they're lucky that it was a relatively deep barrell to begin with.  I expect some fairly quick passes to help Foles in the event of shaky Pass Protection.  However, the Colts will have to show they can pressure the passer without blitzing before they would change their normal gameplan - we don't have a reputation as a good pass rushing team without Mathis...

    Jason Peters was the starting left tackle on the ALL-PRO team. While you are entitled to disagree, I think top 5 at his position isn't a stretch when everyone else in the NFL thinks he's number 1.

    Do you guys follow Pro Football Focus at all? It's a pretty big deal on the Eagles site, and they had Jason Kelce listed as the single best center in the entire NFL in 2013. And we do have pretty nice depth, since basically our starting 5 have been lynchpins for awhile now, so all the backups have been draft picks that are given an eternity to develop.

    They'll be without 4 of the 7 O linemen they were carrying to start the season. Their anchor, another 2 startarters, and a backup. They'll be playing practice squad guys on O line.

    While we do have injuries, the guys we're playing aren't going g to just be falling over each other. Practice squad guys? Jason Peters? The Toddfather? Jason Kelce? C'mon, man.

    As for the rest of our team, you probably hear enough about our O. The D, however, hasn't allowed more than 22 points for 12 consecutive regular season games. The good news for you though is we're awesome at run defense. Seriously awesome. And we were 32nd in pass defense last year.
