Andy Benoit: Eagles based gameplan off Panthers win vs Pats

[TheSpecialJuan]

“We knew they had problems when you force them to defend stacks and bunches,” said one Eagles offensive assistant after the game. “You look at early in the year, against those stacks, they were losing guys.”

What the Eagles saw, particularly in that Carolina game, was that the Patriots couldn’t figure out how to defend receivers who released together on intersected routes, especially when pre-snap motion was involved. New England righted things in Week 5 (and moving forward) by simplifying into more basic man-to-man principles—and that simplification is what Philadelphia exploited Sunday night.

Peter King mentioned that Another novel thing the eagles did is install plays that they have never used,

but that does not mean invent the play

but copy cool plays from other teams so no amount of scouting from Pats would help 

Dont know if/why Shula wouldnt do this, we know he is not a offensive genius like Sean Payton but copying can be done by anyone.

He did copy this offense. From the 1912 Wobegone Wildcats and their Swept Y-Wing offense. Of course, that offense resulted in the only on-field death of a QB due to slow-developing handoffs, but they did manage back-to-back-to-back titles despite never having back-to-back winning seasons.

We took our foot off the pedal in that game and almost let Tom come back to win it if im not wrong

He tried to copy other offenses but it confused him.

Shula tried to fire up Tecmo Super Bowl as opposed to just Tecmo Bowl and couldn't fathom eight plays.

The NE game felt like one of the few times we really attacked another team's weakness or strategy. NE plays a ton of man coverage and we really exposed it.

[tondi]

We beat NE and should've beaten the Eagles honestly. So that's a positive going forward.

Phily made a better Carolina impersonation than the Panthers did,....

This makes me feel worse...

[Manther]

Sometimes Shula looked brilliant like in the Patriots game.  Some times Shula looked...blah, like all of 2016.

Coach Ron setting the standard to beat the pats consistently

We won 11 games this past season, we were a very good team.
