Gameday – PHI at GB

The second half of the season starts tonight. Two of the best teams in the NFC will battle for playoff position. Both are still very much in the hunt for the number one seed.

It is very cold in Green Bay so the game will have a playoff atmosphere in multiple ways. This is an important game for both teams because they have been so inconsistent this season. The Rams and Seahawks have been very impressive recently so it would be good for the Eagles or Packers to play well and show they are rounding into form.

No surprises with the inactives. It is great to get Smith back in the lineup. He can be a tone-setter with his physicality and motor. The DL has missed him. Johnson will mainly be a STer.

DB Michael Carter is active. He could play nickel or safety. He will likely play on STs.

We’re all excited to check out BG. I wouldn’t expect him to play a lot of snaps. I am curious to see how he’s used.

The Packers will be without DL Lukas Van Ness and WR Matthew Golden.

You can make a strong argument for both teams winning the game. The Packers are higher rated on offense and defense. The Eagles are coming off a bye. Before that, they played their best game of the season. The Packers are coming off an ugly loss. I would be a lot more confident if GB had won their last game. I get nervous when good teams lose. They tend to get fired up for the next game.

We’ll learn something about the Eagles tonight. Just how good is this team. How do the new pieces fit in? The Eagles have beaten good teams already. I’m looking to see how this team plays. Can they run the ball? Is the pass rush better?

Let’s hope we get some good answers.
