Expect Clay back outside this week with Shady being more of an edge runner?
Glad we get to face Sanchez instead of Foles. Just sucks Detroit is facing Stanton instead of Palmer
Doesn't mean it'll be a easy win for us or Detroit. We just need to to take care of business against Sanchez who's been a starter for a number of games so defense is going to have to show up again. I think Matthews will continue to play in the middle. If it ain't broke don't fix it...if Philly exposes something then you go back...but we need any advantage we can get for this defense.
Both teams are coming off of big home wins in the same week and prime time games also against the same opponent that both teams beat also at home.Sanchez looked good against the Panthers tonight, but they gave him every opportunity to do so with several turnovers. I think us defeating the Bears the way we did has made us a very confident team. While the Eagles are a tough opponent, I think home field advantage helps give us an edge and last I checked, their defense wasn't the best in the league, so hopefully Rodgers can throw the ball down the field. One of the keys will be stopping Sproles, but if Matthews plays as well at ILB as he did Sunday night, that will be a huge help. Eagles will make plays, but I think we make more at home.
Eagles: 24
Packers 30
OK this is something we can agree on.I also say keep Matthews primarily inside. Part of the reasoning for putting him there was to get Perry on the field more, who happens to be very good at containing the edge. Matthews can play sideline to sideline from the inside. It also allows him to operate in space and use his speed more.

(How is that for a lot of coincidences for the opposing teams that will meet this Sunnyday?)
Dagger: I think your score prediction is a good one. I would rather it be a higher scoring or a blow out game by the Pack but I agree that it could be close and that our team will win with our better offense at Curly's House.
Yay!OK this is something we can agree on.
Where CM is now playing.
It would have to.There are Chip Kelly to Florida rumors starting up................One has to wonder if that creates some drama there for the Eagles.
It was a just about the same point in the season a year ago when Philly came to Green Bay. The Packers were just beginning to face life without Aaron Rodgers for two months and Seneca Wallace made his first start; only to get knocked out by injury for the year early. Scott Tolzein was thrust in as the third qb for the Pack in the season to date.
The Eagles racked up 415 yds. of offense, 204 rushing yds. and left town with a 27-13 win. They used the big play to score td's on plays covering 55, 45 and 32 yds. Riley Cooper had a nice day; catching 2 td passes and totaling 102 yds. on only 3 receptions.
Shady McCoy enabled the Eagles to run ball control, gaining 155 yds on the ground. In the most galling part of the game Philly held the ball for the final 9:32 of the 4th quarter to give the Packers no chance of a comeback.
The Packers' offense didn't fare badly, despite the upheaval at quarterback. They managed to generate 396 yds. offensively themselves. Tolzein passed for 280 yds and Eddie Lacy nearly reached 100 yds. rushing. But they couldn't translate those yards into points. Two interceptions in Eagles territory and two missed field goals by Mason Crosby were part of at least 30 points in that game that the Packers left on the field.
With Aaron Rodgers running the O the Packers aren't likely to make that many mistakes or leave so many points on the field this time. This time it's the Eagles who will be without their starting qb. We should get the result this time we were expecting last year against this opponent.
Detroit just keeps having the best luck!Expect Clay back outside this week with Shady being more of an edge runner?

Really? Because last time I checked it's one of, if not the, worst city to live in and is really run down!Detroit just keeps having the best luck!
