Gameday vs ARZ

Posted: December 1st, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 37 Comments »

Getting closer. Only 90 minutes to go.

Inactives:

QB Matt Barkley
RB Matt Tucker
OL Dennis Kelly
OL Matt Tobin

DB Curtis Marsh
DB Earl Wolff
LB Emmanuel Acho

Mychal Kendricks and Bradley Fletcher return to the defense.

Michael Vick is the #2 QB.

Big news for the Cards. RB Andre Ellington is inactive. He’s been a key player for them in the recent 4-game winning streak. The Eagles catch a big break there.

The Sunday morning shows are throwing lots of love to Nick Foles and the Eagles. That’s nice to hear, but it also makes me nervous when they start to jump on the Eagles bandwagon. Ron Jaworski has a sit-down interview with Foles coming up at about noon on ESPN. That could be interesting.

One prediction for the game…I think Nate Allen comes up with his first INT of the season today.

    Ellington OUT is huge. Mendenhall is a shadow of his former self. Ellington has big play ability everytime he touches the ball.

    Big, big break. Now if someone would step up and Tonya Harding Fitz….

    I was never a big fan of Mendenhalls even when he was younger. Just was never anything special.

  3. 3 Andy124 said at 12:47 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    Never special, was always decent though. He seems to be less than that now, but could just be the crappy OL.

    Nice prediction for Nate. My bold prediction is Ertz has a breakout game while the Cards focus on Shady and DeSean… 5 catches 100 yards and a score

    I’m hoping to see a lot of Cole-Cox-Curry-Graham against a stationary QB. This could be a lot of fun.

    Serve me up some Cardinal Curry.

    I can smell a pick 6 by Kendricks:

    EAGLES 7, Cardinals 0

    FOOOOOTBAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL. I’M SO EXCITED

    Should I start Boykin or Meco as my IDP?

  10. 10 Mitchell said at 12:34 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    I said the same thing earlier about Nate. Were gonna need it!

    Derek says it better than me, on the subject of our apprehensions about this game.

    Things feel a little too settled for the Eagles right now. My impending shake-up fan radar is beeping like mad. I hate when that happens.— Derek / IgglesBlog (@igglesblog) December 1, 2013

    I don’t think I’ve been this nervous for a game since 2004.

  13. 13 ICDogg said at 12:41 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    It feels like our belief in the state of this franchise is on the line here.

  14. 14 Andy124 said at 12:45 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    I don’t know. A loss isn’t going to shake me too much as long as it’s not an especially ugly loss.

  15. 15 OregonDucker said at 12:50 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    Don’t worry ICDogg. Nick will carve them up all day as they blitz. Our DL and LBs will slam Palmer. Feel good babe, feel very good about this team.

    For me it’s not just this game, I’ve been nervous about every game this year, between the last few years and this year’s ups and downs I just don’t feel sure about anything

  17. 17 A Roy said at 12:39 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    Let’s light this candle!

  18. 18 SteveH said at 12:52 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    I got Cary Williams getting a pick today. Just got a feeling Carson’s going to give one to somebody.

  19. 19 Corry said at 12:56 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    Ugh, we got Moose and Goose…or Dumb and Dumber.

    Sopoaga wouldn’t have recovered that fumble!

  27. 27 Corry said at 1:05 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    Excellent start!

  28. 28 Corry said at 1:06 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    Maybe the light has come on for Cole?

  29. 29 Andy124 said at 1:06 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    That was from a traditional DE spot rather than OLB. fwiw

  30. 30 Corry said at 1:07 PM on December 1st, 2013:

    Ah OK, I missed that.
