Much ad hominem, but let's stick to the facts. The Packers have never beaten the Eagles in a playoff game, ever. Andy Reid has gone 7-1 during his first 11 seasons, in playoff openers. Vick was the first to beat Packers at home in a playoff game in 03. In the first game Vick threw for more yards in two quarters than Rodgers did in four, I won't even mention yards ran. The Eagles coasted into the playoffs with a division championship. The Packers made it in by the skin of their teeth against a team that had nothing to gain. Also consider this. The Eagles scored 35 points in 16 minutes against the Redskins and 28 points against the Giants in 8 minutes. The Eagles can stab you at any point in a game. So are Eagles fans worried? no, why should we be? It should be a good game though, the Packers are formidable. Thanks for clunking Kolb on the head in that first game, you gave us a gift, the gift that just kept giving.
The Packers also never won on the road against the Jets, UNTIL THIS YEAR. Reid HAS lost a playoff opener right? Why not two? Yes, Vick has the first playoff victory in Lambeau. But he was a Falcon. See? your FACTS are unraveling. Records and facts don't mean squat, you have to play the game.
Packers give up yards, no question, but we don't let other teams score, that's why we still beat you in week 1. You accumulated a total of +3 points in scoring after Vick entered the game.
The Eagles didn't coast in, they had something to play for and got handed their azzes by Minnesota, who we beat twice handily. The Bears had everything in the world to gain, they didn't want to play us in the playoffs. Darned right they had something to play for. They played their best football every second of that game and only came away with 3 points. And you lost to them. If they had nothing to play for, why play every single starter the entire game? You guys didn't?
If the Eagles are so darned dangerous, why didn't they score a stunning upset in week 1? If it's so easy to put points up against us, why didn't your vaunted offense do it then?
The Packers are at or near the top in takeaways, points allowed, sacks and pass touchdowns allowed. In fact, we've allowed about half of the pass touchdowns your "defense" has allowed.
I'd think the difference between our offense and your defense versus your offense and our defense is enough to call it. You should be nervous if you know football.
I know we are, if only for your STs.
I know, I get it, you're a Philly fan, ok, but don't set yourself up with all these numbers and expect a win, you could be devastated to read the numbers after the game.
