They need the most help but have the easiest schedule ahead. @Washington, NYG, @Seattle --------------- As far as Nicky Foles and the playoff future. The most important key to winning is going to be our run D. All those teams that are currently in can run the ball. We have to get back to being able to stop the run. I think our DL and Schwartz got so used to being up early they forgot that the best way to beat us is to keep us off balance. If the ST didn't give up a TD we could possibly be looking at a two possession game. Sorry if my optimism is too much, but I've seen guys step up before. Hell we seen Foles step up after an injury before. Gurley tore us up yesterday.. what the hell happened?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we just have to get back to basics stop the run first and foremost. They know if there's no Ginger Jesus resurrection then we go as far as they take us. We've seen defenses play inspired and carry teams to SBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I mean, yeah, Peyton Manning won a Super Bowl with Denver and he was basically a liability to that team. I just don't know about our defense right now. Carson helped us dominate time of possession which helps the defense. I think our defense is great but we'll see them come down to Earth a little, and we've seen that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Every team/Def has hiccups, I think the emphasis will be contain the run, win the TO battle and give our offense chances to put up points. I'm expecting an ugly playoff game but on the other side of that I don't expect a team like Minny to win big once the chips are on the line.

Peyton was Browns bad that year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 A win vs NYG guarantees us a 1st round bye. A win and a Minny loss to Cincy locks up the #1 seed. A win vs NYG and vs OAK the next week gives us #1 seed, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I have no faith in Cincy, just stating the weekly clinching scenarios at play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we not be so doom and gloom? It's actually pretty annoying. Yeah sure Nick Foles isn't Carson, but it's not like we have no shot. I'm tired of all this depressing BS where everyone is just giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Sage Rosenfels✔@SageRosenfels18 Nick Foles and Eagles have #1 seed Case Keenum and Vikings have #2 Jared Goff and Rams have #3 seed All were quarterbacks under Jeff Fisher during the previous 3 seasons.

I'm tired of all this depressing BS where everyone is just giving up. I'm expecting the defense to step up and our offense to become much more run oriented. This thing isn't over yet. We're 11-2. We have 3 regular season games to figure out what we have. And if we win one of those games, we get an extra week to get Foles up to speed.

Danger Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Jeff Fisher is notorious for diminishing a QB's level of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
