We will be able to run the football on your defense, even though you guys will absolutely be focused on stopping it. 

Nah.

If NE sells out to stop the run, I doubt Philly moves all that much. You saw them stop two very good backs in the playoffs already, one of which playing behind one of the best offensive lines in the league. 

That said, I doubt they sell out that much. Foles has shown to be a more lethal passer lately than Bortles or Mariota, and the Eagles have more weapons. NE won’t be able to dedicate their livelihood to stopping the run game. Or, if they do, Foles will have his opportunities to Ertz and some of the secondary receivers. 

It wont look like Week 1’s debacle where Smith was chopping them up and Hunt was moving the ball.

Minnesota gave up a whole yard less per carry on the season then the Pats and we ran all over them last week. Eagles offensive line is as good or better than any the Pats have played this season.

I am sure they will be playing the run hard, but the Eagles will get theirs on the ground. We have done it all year.

Not that it matters but with the way the schedule unfolded and a short away gm to the NYG by bus on December 17th. The Eagles will be finally leaving their homes/beds and jumping on a plane, for the first time in 6weeks.

Last played @ LAR Dec 10th

We probably will fall behind early. But what makes the Pats' offense impressive (any why the plethora of comebacks recently) is that they key in on what the D is doing, and vice versa. It's down to coaching, and they just figure teams out. Jacksonville getting too conservative, Falcons getting too aggressive - I'm not sure it's them changing up, rather NE figuring out the best route to success over time. 

Mix it up. Which is why I think PHI will win - they have a pretty funky offense with their spread looks. A concept that will hurt us is outside runs in spread formations. Lack of athletic LBs and inability to win at the edge.

In a report for ESPN, Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham contend that commissioner Roger Goodell's handling of Deflategate was influenced by his hasty and incomplete handling of the Spygate incident.[71] Van Natta Jr. and Wickersham argue that the true extent of the Spygate scandal was covered up by Goodell and the National Football League in order to protect the image of the NFL and as a favor to New England Patriots' owner Robert Kraft, who was in part responsible for Goodell's promotion to commissioner.[71] The report alleges a highly complex system in which opposing teams' signals were recorded, decoded, and relayed to Patriots coaches and players on the field during games spanning at least 40 games between 2000 and 2007.[71]. This system also included a personal assistant to Bellichick who had a photographic memory and had the official title "Football Research Director", the only person with such a title in the NFL, he told congress stories about sneaking behind opponents benches and filming their huddles. According to the article a scout team would go out to future Patriot opponents and film signs and plays. They would then make a spreadsheet of all the signs and corresponding plays, Patriot staffers would then hand off the spreadsheets to the "football Research Director" who would match signals to the plays. The Patriots would also sometimes bring in former players of the team they were playing ask them if they accurately had recorded the signals, they would later cut the player.[72]

The article goes on to quote a former Patriots assistant as saying "things got out of control," in reference to the entire system of covert taping and signal decoding.

In a statement from Mike Martz, the St. Louis Rams ex-offensive coordinator and coach also recalls that Goodell asked him to write a statement, saying that he was satisfied with the NFL's Spygate investigation and was certain the Patriots had not cheated and asking everyone to move on—like leaders of the Steelers and Eagles had done. A congressional inquiry that would put league officials under oath had to be avoided, Martz recalls Goodell telling him. "If it ever got to an investigation, it would be terrible for the league," Goodell said.[73]

@eagles18 Your team is about to play it's first superbowl in 13 years. It should be a really exciting time for you. This thread was set up to discuss the game, tactics, strategy, players etc etc - which we're all doing. 

You choose, however, to come on here and post an old article to incite yet more hatred/mouthbreathing/baiting etc? 

Put the keyboard down. Step away from the car.

That garbage article was debunked ages ago. Try harder.

Ah so we've reached the trolling portion of the thread where we bringing up articles from two years ago written by a guy who had an article a month ago that was full of disputed points and already has an addendum on it.
