Game Preview – PHI at DAL

Posted: December 29th, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 248 Comments »

Hastings. Waterloo. Midway. Gettysburg. Yorktown. Stalingrad. Where will tonight’s game fit into the list of the greatest battles in history?

Eagles at Cowboys for the NFC East title has the makings of an epic battle. But you take out Tony Romo and Sean Lee and things change a bit. You also have the Eagles playing better football right now. Dallas is at home, but reportedly they haven’t sold all their tickets and Eagles fans might neutralize any home field advantage Dallas expected to have. The battle looks more and more one-sided.

Make it even simpler. The Eagles are the better team. Dallas is 8-7, but their wins aren’t impressive at all. They’ve only beaten one team with a winning record. This is the X-factor in the game….because the one team they beat was the Eagles.

Chances are that the earlier loss is an anomaly. The Eagles were struggling at home back then. Nick Foles was awful. The whole team played sloppy at times. But, what if Dallas is going to be the one team that is Nick Foles kryptonite? Every now and then we find a situation where a player struggles against a specific team and it doesn’t make a ton of sense.

As much as tonight is about the Eagles winning the division, it is also about Nick Foles redemption. We love him. We trust him. But I think we’ll all feel a heck of a lot better after he throws that first TD pass. We’re almost certain that the first game meant nothing, but go ahead and prove it so we can relax.

I wrote my game preview for PE.com.

A few additional thoughts…

* Don’t be surprised if Dallas leads in the 1st Qtr 10-7 or something like that. Kyle Orton will have a ton of adrenaline early on. The defense might not be completely ready for him at the beginning of the game. As the game moves on, the defense will settle in and Orton is likely to struggle as they adjust to him and the Dallas gameplan.

* Expect the Eagles to use a lot of rub routes…crossing routes where receivers move in traffic and try to get DBs to bump into receivers or other defenders. The Skins gave Dallas fits last week with some of these.

* Jason Hatcher is the most disruptive Dallas defender. Blocking him is the key. Hopefully the up-tempo attack can wear him down.

* STs is going to be huge. I don’t anticipate Dallas stringing together long drives on a regular basis. It is imperative to keep Dwayne Harris from breaking long returns.

* Jimmy Bama and I had an interesting phone conversation this morning. First, he admitted I’m way cooler than him and that you should all go un-follow him on Twitter. Then we talked about how Bill Davis will approach Orton. Jimmy thinks the Eagles should be basic in the 1st quarter, then ramp up pressure later on. Why show Orton your best looks early? Also, if Orton is going to focus on getting the ball out quickly, why blitz him a ton? Just concentrate on making the tackle.

There is logic in Jimmy’s thinking. I just wonder if Davis will agree. Davis might prefer to attack all game long, with the hope that you never let Orton get into his comfort zone.

* Expect the Eagles to mix in stunts and loops. They worked well in the first meeting. Also, Ryan Kerrigan got a sack last week doing that.

* Patrick Chung and Mychal Kendricks might be the key defenders. The coaches need to sell those guys on the idea of making the smart play and not selling out for the huge play. They made costly mistakes in the loss to the Vikings, but both guys had good games last week.

* * * * *

ESPN posted some matchups to watch. Some good info in there.

* * * * *

ESPN’s Countdown show did a good piece on the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry and why it is so nasty. I think Dallas is the biggest rival. I understand plenty of you who live in Philly feel the Giants are the most bitter enemy.

* * * * *

Have fun with the 1pm and 4pm games. We’ve got a lot of time to kill.

    I’ve come into this season, and this game with the attitude that it’s a free season. House money! We’ve already surpassed my reasonable expectations, whatever happens, happens….is what I’ve been *saying*. Been having dreams, ahem, nightmares that I missed the game and that the birds lost. What I learned from that/those dream(s) is that I am very much not emotionally prepared for this season to end. Can’t rationalize my way out of this one, I’m all in, I *NEED* the birds to win this game.

    LETS GO BIRDS!

    You missed Battle of Britain. Never in history of conflict, has so much been owed by so many to so few. Pumped!

  5. 5 P_P_K said at 1:22 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Yo’ Jimmy, if I was on Twitter I would un-follow you for two reasons.

    First, your idea about how to approach Orton would only work in bizzaro-world. Davis should apply the pressure early and often. Unleash the Trent-bomb. Don’t let a qb with 0 starts in two years and 15 passes this year ever, ever believe he can get into his zone. Put him on his butt or at least get in his head. Make it a knife fight and get the first cut.

    Second, Tommy said so.

  6. 6 Ark87 said at 1:24 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I agree. The dude *should* be rusty. Don’t give him the WD-40 defense to get him back into shape.

  7. 7 ACViking said at 1:25 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Attention: D3FB / prior post

    Thanks for the frame-by-frame description of your night-before-the-game routine. You’re an excellent writer — you had me hanging on every sentence, and I actually could feel myself taking some deep breaths and feel my adrenaline start to pump the way it does the night before I start a trial.

    The post-script was great, as well.

  8. 8 SteveH said at 1:33 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    1 PM games are a wasteland this week, throw me a bone NFL, I need something to keep me preoccupied until tonight!

  9. 9 ACViking said at 1:38 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    T-Law:

    I’m surprise you left out Little Big Horn — where’s America’s team, all dressed in their home blues, took on the chin.

  10. 10 SteveH said at 1:39 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    offtopic, but here’s a ridiculous stat for you to chew on. Eagles offense is second in the league with 28 PPG, behind the Broncos offense who average… 38 PPG. How is that even possible that a team can be that far ahead of the rest of the NFL in scoring, especially when you consider how bunched up the rest of the league is.

    The difference between the first and second offenses (Denver and Eagles) is 10 PPG, the difference between the 2nd place offense and the last place offense (Eagles and Jacksonville) is 12 PPG. So the difference between 1st and 2nd is almost the same as 2nd and last.

    Denver is a frighteningly good offense. That is all.

  11. 11 Dominik said at 1:55 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    They have a frighteningly good QB and frighteningly good weapons. But you are right, 10 PPG more is surreal.

    Let’s just hope Chip can bring this offense in spheres like that. I think with him running the offense and Foles getting more experienced, you can at least dream about that.

  12. 12 SteveH said at 2:01 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    38 PPG is a dream.

  13. 13 theycallmerob said at 3:24 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Incredible to watch, at age 37, one of the greatest QBs of all time have his best season (and consequently, one of the best QB seasons of all time).
    The only positive is that those dominant teams have, in recent years, faltered before ever reaching the Super Bowl.

  14. 14 SteveH said at 5:29 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Don’t forget coming off of a potentially career ending neck injury.

  16. 16 Scott J said at 6:32 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    They have 3 loses this year so they are beatable.

  17. 17 ACViking said at 1:56 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Foles had a heck of nice game last year in Dallas. And so did Demarius Johnson. But for a bad bounce off a Bryce Brown fumble (every fumble last year seemed to bounce right to the other team), the Eagles had a shot to win that game.

  18. 18 SteveH said at 1:58 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    more offtopic nonsense because oh mah gerd the 1pm games are boring:

    I am actually predicting the Dallas defensive line proves to be their version of the Maginot Line in defeat.

  24. 24 ACViking said at 2:20 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Now that was a blow-out! 6-1 ratio.

    60 – 10 at Big D? That’d be fun

  25. 25 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:23 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    So, which team would everyone prefer to face in round 1: San Fran, Arizona, or New Orleans?

    Yeah, we need to win first, but who do you think we match up best against?

  26. 26 ACViking said at 2:31 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I’ll take the Saints. Worst road team in the playoffs, afflicted with dome-itis.

  27. 27 A_T_G said at 3:45 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Yep, agreed. I would prefer AZ to SF.

  28. 28 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:31 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Agreed. I think we match up better with the Saints and SF is scary. Hoping GB can take them out at Lambeau.

  29. 29 BlindChow said at 2:31 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Marvin McNutt sighting in Atlanta. He’s now with the Panthers.

  30. 30 A_T_G said at 3:44 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    …and still looking to get his first reception when is was tuned in. Another cut that looks like the right call.

  31. 31 ICDogg said at 3:50 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    9 sacks vs Ryan so far.

  32. 32 deg0ey said at 3:11 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    So all those Browns reporters that tweeted they were glad to get Chudzinski instead of Kelly. Reckon they’re still saying the same thing? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000305247/article/rob-chudzinski-under-fire-with-cleveland-browns

  33. 33 TommyLawlor said at 3:38 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    How funny is that?

  34. 34 SteveH said at 5:01 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Amazing that they’re already willing to give up on him. And to pursue Bill O’Brien and Josh Mcdaniels? Right, because Bellicheck assistants have such a great track record.

    The factory of sadness will roll on.

  35. 35 ACViking said at 5:09 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Banner’s gonna miss the boat on O’Brien.

    He has two strikes already: Houston’s trying to lock up O’Brien this week; and Banner’s shown remarkable impatience.

    Oh . . . and then there’s the owner. Who may being wearing an Orange jumpsuit — and I don’t mean Cleveland Brown’s orange.

  36. 36 SteveH said at 5:10 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Just remember Eagles fans, it can always be worse.

  37. 37 Corry said at 4:04 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Carolina just won the NFC South.

  38. 38 ACViking said at 4:09 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Emblematic of Atlanta’s season, needing just 20 yards with 46 second left to get into 50+ FG range . . . the Falcons’ center snaps the ball while QB Matt Ryan is behind the G-T gap yelling blocking assignments.

    Loss of 16 yards. 19 seconds left when the Falcons finally snap the ball — but not set properly. A 5-yard penalty and 10-second run-off.

    Carolina’s living right.

  39. 39 Corry said at 4:29 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I feel awful for Tony Gonzalez. Postponed retirement for…that.

  40. 40 ACViking said at 4:49 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    He should postpone again and move to SF

  41. 41 bill said at 5:58 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Cam was a good enough RB, but he doesn’t inspire ANY fear as a passer. I hate the made up stat, but Cam should have had at least three picks today against a Falcons D that is setting up tee times, while executing perhaps the most conservative offense in the league (3rd and long with a chance to kill the clock with the conversion, and you throw a screen that the D has seen so much that they have 4 defenders covering the receiver?)

    That defense is for real. Every time I watch the Panthers, though, I come away less and less impressed with Cam. If he were asked to consistently execute within a passing offense, I think it would be a disaster. He can extend plays for a long time, but when defenses tighten up up in the playoffs, I don’t think that’s going to be enough – even with that defense.

  42. 42 BobSmith77 said at 4:25 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Giants hands down and it isn’t close. Giants-Eagles have played more memorable games and you have the whole NY-Philly rivalry.

  43. 43 ICDogg said at 5:09 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    You could make some good arguments either way, but I think if you polled Eagles fans it would be Dallas by a 2-1 margin.

  44. 44 A Roy said at 5:47 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    The Giants rivalry is older, but there are more asshole Dallas fans.

  45. 45 SteveH said at 5:09 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    For me its definitely Dallas as the #1 rival, I’m not really sure where the Giants as #1 rival thing is even coming from, its Dallas hands down.

  46. 46 Neil said at 5:33 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    The people in new england hate the giants, but everywhere else it’s mainly dallas.

  47. 47 Always Hopeful said at 5:41 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Ha, ha I think the recent SB wins by the Giants makes them a bigger rival recently…they have what should be ours 🙂

    Dallas has not won anything in long time (not including the debacle at the end of 2009). Over the long haul it’s Dallas, but in recent history, Giants?

  48. 48 BobSmith77 said at 4:39 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Steelers have to hope the KC reserves are willing to play hard tonight but when did an Andy Reid team care that much a meaningless game when they had already clinched?

  49. 49 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:43 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Rodgers looks as sharp as ever.

  50. 50 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:45 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Of course. 2 min after I type that, he gets picked. Remind me not to complement Foles during a game ever.

  51. 51 Midnight_Greenville said at 4:55 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    So, Charles is not playing for K.C. today and A.P. didn’t play for Minnesota. Has Shady just won the rushing title?

  52. 52 Neil said at 4:55 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Yes.

  53. 53 Midnight_Greenville said at 4:56 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Last time we had a rushing champion we won the Championship

  54. 54 Frencheaglesfan said at 4:59 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    As a french, I would also point the great battle of austerlitz. I know I am desillusional to think you can picture frenchs like winners just like a cowboy fan but it was worth the try.

  55. 55 ACViking said at 5:00 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    You say Austerlitz, and I say . . . Waterloo.

    Remarkable bookends for a genius

  56. 56 Frencheaglesfan said at 5:05 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    France/England history is like cowboys/eagles rivalry. Though I hope it doesn ´t end in a Waterloo.

  57. 57 ACViking said at 5:07 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    No in-between in the wars between the French and English.

  58. 58 Frencheaglesfan said at 5:11 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Yeah that´s true I just wanted to pointed out that england owned a major part of the world with their monarchy (jj, America ˋs team) and that was hated by everybody.

  59. 59 ACViking said at 5:13 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    The hate runs deep in the former colonies.

  60. 60 Frencheaglesfan said at 5:15 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    My girlfriend is english so just kidding, but I am glad to say I fuck england/Dallas.

  61. 61 ICDogg said at 5:00 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I guess it’s appropriate since our QB is Napoleon (Dynamite)

  62. 62 A Roy said at 5:45 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Wouldn’t the Battle of Hastings also apply?

  63. 63 Frencheaglesfan said at 5:51 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    He was french but fought for his own interest not for the french kingdom.

  64. 64 ACViking said at 5:10 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Watching KC-SD.

    Chase Daniels, who hasn’t played in forever, has come out hot at QB for the Chiefs.

  65. 65 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:12 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Chiefs just burned their 2nd timeout with 12:50 remaining in first half. I don’t miss that.

  66. 66 ACViking said at 5:13 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I saw that. Gotta love AR.

  67. 67 Frencheaglesfan said at 5:12 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Chicago-packers is a good warm-up for the one true game

  68. 68 SteveH said at 5:13 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I want the Bears to win for our sake but, I feel like its only a matter of time before Rodgers gets them ahead.

  69. 69 ACViking said at 5:24 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    At some point, it becomes shameful that Peyton Manning’s still throwing the ball to score TDs against a Raiders team that didn’t show up.

    After 3 TD passes today, it’s shameful . . . because Manning wants the QB Rating title too.

  70. 70 SteveH said at 5:27 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I mean Denver still has something to play for, so I don’t see anything shameful about it.

  71. 71 ACViking said at 5:29 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    SteveH:

    I was speaking tongue-in-cheek — though I didn’t say so.

    Still, I wouldn’t mind seeing Manning give the ball the Moreno in the RZ.

  72. 72 Frencheaglesfan said at 5:26 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    While waiting so nervously for the big showdown, I just wanted to thank you Tommy, in France there is absolutely no interest for football so sometimes it´s hard to feel like a real fan. And thanks to your posts I can really read the passion and also knowledges of the game I love. I also love eagles fan for their passion though I really hate the fact that you tend to be too extreme ( like quiting on players) during the heat of the moment.

  73. 73 SteveH said at 5:27 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    We’re rough on our team its true. Its a Philly thing.

  74. 74 Frencheaglesfan said at 5:29 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Yeah I start to Get that. I realised that is your Way to show your love.

  75. 75 A Roy said at 5:43 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Glad you’re with us. Tres bien.

    As a fellow european, I have to say that the amount of caffeine I need to consume to stay awake to watch this game is really not helping my nerves.

  78. 78 ACViking said at 5:31 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I’m watching Chase Daniels look like, well, Nick Foles . . . with wheels.

    Anything can happen with a back-up.

  79. 79 ACViking said at 5:33 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Rex Ryan’s apparently coming back to the NYJ in 2014.

    He’d be out of a HC job for about 30 seconds. (Not literally.)

    The guy can coach. And once he strangled the pass-happy impulses out of Marty, the Jets became a much more competitive team.

  80. 80 BlindChow said at 5:35 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Hilarious fumble recovery touchdown for Green Bay. If the Bears lose by less than a score, that play is going to haunt them all off-season.

  81. 81 Corry said at 5:36 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    That whole thing was ridiculous. I guess that’s why you tell your players to pick up the loose ball regardless.

  82. 82 SteveH said at 5:36 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    That was incredible. Bears are hiliarious.

  83. 83 Eric Carranza said at 5:36 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    A bear had that ball in his hands n just dropped it n left it there

    BC:

    Quick description?

  85. 85 Eric Carranza said at 5:38 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Rodgers arm get hit by peppers before going forward ball flies forward n eventually picked up by Boykin n ran in for a td

  86. 86 ICDogg said at 5:39 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Boykin was just standing there until the sideline guys prodded him to run with the ball.

  87. 87 SteveH said at 5:39 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Rodgers had his hand hit as he was winding up, ball was loose, but he pushed it forward so everyone thought it was incomplete. Ball sitting there officials letting it go, no one tries to pick it up for like 5 seconds. Then Boykin comes over and picks it up but doesn’t start running with it. Stands there looking around for a while, then finally takes off and runs into the end zone. TD. Must have been 10 seconds between when the ball was sitting there and Boykin scored.

  88. 88 ACViking said at 5:41 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Thanks. Good stuff

  89. 89 SteveH said at 5:42 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    It was surreal, I’m sure it will be on all the highlights later keep an eye out.

  90. 90 Corry said at 5:48 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    If they lose by a touchdown or less that play will haunt them all offseason.

    Just realized that’s exactly what BC said. Reading comprehension is an awesome skill.

  91. 91 A Roy said at 5:49 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Man, there’s still almost 3 hrs to game time. I hope the GB-CHI game stays incompetently entertaining.

  92. 92 SteveH said at 5:53 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I’m going stir crazy right now, this game cannot possibly get here soon enough.

    Rob Chudzinski will be fired by the #Browns, per league sources.— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) December 29, 2013

  94. 94 Corry said at 5:50 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Good thing they didn’t land Chip.

    The Cleveland Browns are kind of the organizational equivalent to the Chicago Bears in this game I’m watching.

  95. 95 SteveH said at 5:50 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Yeah, if the Bears game lasted 40 years.

  96. 96 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:51 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    When is someone going to hire Lovie Smith?

  97. 97 ACViking said at 5:53 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    ICD:

    So who’s out there? Bill O’Brien? Why would he go to Cleveland if he could go anywhere else in the NFL?

  99. 99 ACViking said at 5:55 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Exactly. Saw the saw.

    Per Mort’s twitter feed, someone reported that a PSU recruit said O’Brien told him yesterday he’ll be back at Happy Valley. FWIW

  100. 100 Corry said at 5:56 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    As a PSU homer, I’m really hoping BOB stays as long as Hackenburg stays. I think those two can take the team pretty far.

  101. 101 ICDogg said at 5:56 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I don’t know, but IMO the coaching situation that would be most appealing to take over (of the apparent openings) would be Detroit.

  102. 102 ACViking said at 5:57 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Great call there. You’re right.

  103. 103 Corry said at 6:01 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Detroit is a great landing spot, but I think the Texans are up there. Good talent on D, good talent on O, and the #1 overall pick in the upcoming draft in a bit of a weak division. Not a bad spot to land at all.

  104. 104 ICDogg said at 6:04 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I don’t love the Texans talent, but can’t argue with the draft pick.

  105. 105 SteveH said at 5:52 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Manning is Nick Folesing the Raiders right now, 25/28 for 266 and 4 TD’s.

  106. 106 ACViking said at 5:54 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I hope Denver’s not going to leave in Manning so he can get 8 TDs today.

    There are several uncomplimentary words for that kind approach — none of which I’d put in print.

  107. 107 SteveH said at 5:56 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I doubt they will, once they get maybe 1 more score they’ll sit him. The game still has meaning for them they have to win to secure home field, which is the only reason he’s playing in the first place.

  108. 108 ACViking said at 5:56 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    StH:

    I think you’re right across the board.

  109. 109 ICDogg said at 5:54 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    which probably means Foles won’t have the top passer rating for the season, unless he has an amazing game tonight.

  110. 110 ACViking said at 5:55 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I did the math. Manning’s still 4 points back.

    Foles needs to fold — like Dallas-1 — to lose the QBR title

  111. 111 ACViking said at 6:01 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Manning now on the bench for Big Brock

  112. 112 SteveH said at 6:02 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    A little surprised they didn’t give it one more TD to put it waaaay out of reach but hey, it is the Raiders, can’t blame them.

  113. 113 ACViking said at 6:03 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I’d like to believe that if Aaron Rodgers, with just 7 weeks off, is performing like he is today against the Bear-less defense . . . then Kyle Orton will NOT pull a Matt Cassel or a Chase Daniels.

    I’d like to believe that.

  122. 122 SteveH said at 6:18 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    The league should mandate that the Bears must forfeit every home game until they fix that field.

  124. 124 BlindChow said at 6:22 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    That Starks run was weird. It’s like he kept slowing down because he thought he was going to be tackled, then realized “WTF they missed!” and had to speed back up.

  125. 125 Corry said at 6:23 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I noticed that too. Like he couldn’t believe he had that much open space.

  126. 126 BlindChow said at 6:24 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Green Bay chooses not to go for 2. Guess they didn’t see the Washington game last week. Stupid mistake that could cost them the game.

  127. 127 ACViking said at 6:26 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    BC:

    still 7:30 left in the 3rd Q against a terrible defense. Pack getting their offense going.

    I think it’s a defensible decision.

  128. 128 BlindChow said at 6:31 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    I think the terrible defense actually makes going for 2 a better choice.

    Still, being up 6 instead of 5 means almost nothing (assuming they miss the 2-pt conversion). I think the “it’s too early to think about the final score” is one of those Bruce Arians “the way it’s always been done” rules that makes little sense.

    And even as I type, the Bears just got a go-ahead TD.

  129. 129 ACViking said at 6:34 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    The reason I think it’s defensible is every points going to matter in this game.

    You miss a 2-pt conversion then you’re stuck going for it the rest of the game.

  130. 130 BlindChow said at 6:46 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    That’s what someone here said after Washington went for 1 last game. I think “because every point matters” is exactly why you go for 2.

    Bill Barnwell at Grantland had a blurb about it last week:

    With an effective running game and the clear benefit of going up a touchdown, it was pretty easy to make a case that Washington should have attempted a two-point conversion. The numbers suggest it’s a no-brainer: Footballcommentary.com justifies a two-point conversion with a five-point lead and 19 minutes to go if you think you can succeed 27 percent of the time. Robert Griffin could have hobbled in on crutches and scored 27 percent of the time from two yards out against the Cowboys.

    Instead, Washington kicked the extra point and went up six. That seemed smart when it kicked a field goal to go up nine at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the Cowboys came back with a field goal and then a touchdown of their own. Had it gone for two and failed, Washington still would have lost. Had it succeeded, though, Dallas’s extra point would have merely tied the game. Instead, it gave the Cowboys the win.

    Basically, a failed 2-pt conversion isn’t going to matter when you lose by 2.

  131. 131 ACViking said at 6:48 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    BC:

    Cowboys – Wash a different game with a 4th Rd pick at QB for Washington.

    Kelly’s gone for 2 how many times this season before the 4th Q? A couple?

    So I think McCarthy’s on solid ground. He could be wrong.

  132. 132 ACViking said at 6:36 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Being down 6 or 5 in the middle of the 3rd does matter. Too soon to risk giving away points.

    That’s just my thinking when you’re playing a team with no defense.

  133. 133 ACViking said at 6:36 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Re: Arians

    Not going for 2 makes perfect sense in a shootout.

    You miss you start giving away points. That’s all.

  134. 134 ACViking said at 6:30 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Is this going to be a game that comes down to the last possession?

  135. 135 BlindChow said at 6:32 PM on December 29th, 2013:

  136. 136 SteveH said at 6:25 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Is Rodgers struggling?

  147. 147 BlindChow said at 6:50 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    2 INT’s. And they’ve punted a few times. He’s missed some open guys, it looks like. Rusty.

  148. 148 Dragon_Eagle said at 6:53 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Yep. Rusty. Not struggling and looking awful, but off target on throws he usually would put on the money.

  149. 149 BlindChow said at 6:53 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Really, I think the odds are so much greater of losing by 1 point when you don’t go for the 2-pt than losing by 1 point when you DID go for it and missed.

    Makes me wonder if there was ever a case where going for 2 and missing actually cost a team a game.

  150. 150 ACViking said at 6:54 PM on December 29th, 2013:

  158. 158 ACViking said at 6:58 PM on December 29th, 2013:

  159. 159 BlindChow said at 7:04 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Obviously you’re being satirical, but it’s definitely in the Bears interest to just keep kicking. They can win by taking the easy points. The Packers can lose by taking them.

    If the Bears score and go for 2, the pressure on the Pack is much bigger.

    And a FG at worse ties for the Bears

  166. 166 BlindChow said at 7:23 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Hmm. The team that is ahead 1 point definitely benefits by being conservative when it comes to extra points. Going for 2 is a high-variance “David” strategy that would only be a good idea for a team that is seriously outmatched. But in this case, because a 2-pointer is harder than a 1-pointer, putting the onus on Green Bay to make one is clearly the right choice for the Bears.

    Still, why would you give more weight to the benefits of making a 2-pointer only as it pertains to the Bears, and only look at the downside when it pertains to the Packers?

  167. 167 ACViking said at 7:27 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Correctly described

    Man, I hope we put the Dallas game out of reach early. Nearly had multiple coronaries watching the afternoon games and they don’t even involve the Eagles.

    GB wins on the road….then again, they were were better team with Rogers. We are the better team in this game too. Go Birds!!!

    I’m SO anxiety ridden fellow fans. All these ppl saying Dallas is better off with Orton due to they will feed the ball to the supremely talented Demarco Murray 🙁 Especially since they are 11-0 when he gets 20+ carries. This is the post game headline I fear the most! “Romo-less Cowboys turn to Murray who runs rough-shod over Philly’s over matched run D.” Or, “Once again, Foles, O, Chip Kelley still have no answer for NFC East champion Cowboys” My heart was in my throat just TYPING that! I am scared SH$%T Less!!!

  215. 215 BlindChow said at 7:40 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    The Eagles are much better against the run. Feeding Murray the ball plays right into the Eagles’ hands.

  216. 216 TheRogerPodacter said at 7:42 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    my thoughts exactly.

  217. 217 Crus57 said at 7:43 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    That fact is probably how the Vikings won, they basically ignored their running game a lot of the time.

    Should we expect to see MN’s game plan — or something comparable?

  219. 219 BlindChow said at 7:54 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Not sure what to expect. Dallas tends to do whatever makes the least amount of sense.

  220. 220 Andy124 said at 8:15 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    Wouldn’t make much sense for them to punt every first down. I’d be pretty cool with that.

  221. 221 TheRogerPodacter said at 7:43 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    did SF just kick the game winning FG? i’m having trouble with online game trackers…

  222. 222 ACViking said at 7:43 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    SF wins.

  223. 223 TheRogerPodacter said at 7:44 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    so if we win, we’re in. and we play the saints. LETS GO BIRDS!

    Must pace alcohol consumption. Whisky is just going tooo fast. Must go herb for now. God, I hope I can see the game in single, rather than double, vision.

    Are we there yet. Huh. Are we there yet.

    I imagine Dallas’ offensive passing strategy mostly will consist of finding wherever Chung is and throwing that direction.

  235. 235 TheRogerPodacter said at 7:53 PM on December 29th, 2013:

    i would also try to get some of our LBs that aren’t named Barwin into coverage and get the ball to that guy
