Wk 15- Philadelphia Eagles @ Arizona Cardinals Pre Game Thread. 2020

[phillycard]

Please, please, please, let us get this win. I don't ask for much in life, but I need this w. This was actually the game I planned to come to this year.

 

[DVontel]

with a gimmick QB. And still a game back of the defending champions.

ANYTHING is arguable. You can argue Donald Trump just won four more years, but you’d still be wrong and look foolish doing so.

I get what you meant & yea KC been the best team in the league but you really helped him out with this post if anything lmao

 

[SoonerLou]

The dreaded Cards favored by -6 to -6.5

I think the last times we were that favored were against the Lions and Dolphins. TBF the Jets was like -7 I think.

If you get pressure up the middle Jalen will bail to his right. Just watch the LSU vs. OU game or any game he struggled with in college. The thing is he is capable of throwing well on the run. Just dont let him get comfortable going against 3 man rushes as well.

Strategy - Match the Eagles in toughness and hard play. Rule in the Talent Dept.

How incredibly disappointing. Not sure why the dude is as fragile as a 90 year old woman.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Give me a freaking break.

Arguably meaning that if they aren't the best team in the league, then they are 2nd or 3rd.

You are missing the point of my post while trying to argue semantics. You could argue that is just as foolish.

Lol... okay. Keep telling yourself any serious football person would call the Taysom Hill Saints a better team than the Chiefs. Throw in the fact that the Saints have proven themselves playoff pretenders the last three years, always underachieving and your statement is even more laughable.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I think this is one of those pull your hair out high scoring affairs where we pull it out at the end, but not before the Cardinals take off two years of all of our lives.

Yeah there is no dominant NFC team but the Chefs are clearly the best team in football

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We are going to wreck the Eagles. Then it's win 1 of 2

You need a snickers hahaha

Whatever you say oh wise one.

Got to win the next 2. The Rams are going to be still playing for division in week 17. No way we beating that team if we losing to Eagles or 49ers

Whatever you say oh wise one.

it really doesn’t to take anyone wise to say the Chiefs are hands down better than the Taysum Hill lead Saints team.

I swear to God, you won’t die if you just said... yeah... that was a misstatement. Amongst the best in the league definitely? Sure. but there’s literally no argument to make that the Saints are better than the Chiefs.

Everybody knows the Jets are the best team in football!

As much as it pains me to say this Golden has trouble with this as well. I just hope VJ is working on his speech to both of them right now. Slow the pass rush and keep contain. Hurts in the pocket doesn't scare me as much.

They should watch tape of what worked against kyler.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I’d play max contain and then blitz the hell outta the A gap with Simmons over and over again. Play for Jalen scrambling back and to the right to escape. I’d also feint an outside budda blitz and then stunt him into the middle with wide outside contain to the side he’s coming from.

People see things differently. You clearly see them much better. I didn't. I said arguably and someone in also came to my defense on it as well. So cool.

You want me to say it was a misstatement, fine. Enjoy your semantic victory.

Well that's a given. I know I've cost my family years off their lives by making them all cardinals fans.

 

[SoonerLou]

I remember Lamar Jackson dominating us last year...

Hurts isnt Lamar fast, but Vance better have an answer for QB runs.

Actually we do have an answer. We drafted Simmons.

Why you use ellipses marks so much

Our defense plays against Kyler in practice all week every week. If they can't contain Hurts they deserve to lose.
