Eagles fans already counting chickens

[Rules&Regulations]

I think it's that whole area up there, must be something in the water.

I was watching some Ravens fans make playoff predictions yesterday on YouTube and they both predicted Eagles over Panthers because "Panthers can't stop the run". Needless to say, that's the point at which I stopped the video and dismissed everything I had previously heard.

That's fine, come on down and pay a premium to watch your team get it's ass kicked.

Eagles were 1-3 (losses to Chargers, Broncos and Chiefs) against playoff teams this year with their only win against a Green Bay team that did not have Rodgers. They really do not have any quality wins. I wouldn't look past Saints if I was an Eagles fan. Arguably this is their toughest opponent besides Broncos all year which they lost by 32 points.

The Panthers were 3-2 against playoff teams (split with Saints, lost to Seahawks, beat Pats and 49ers).

The Linc has historically provided the Eagles with absolutely zero home-field advantage.

do they not have a stadium jail like they did at the Vet?  that would make them feel more at home i would think

I really do think NO will put up 30+ on the eagles. They are no push over team and I doubt Philly has the D to keep up.

I would want to play the eagles out of any nfc playoff team.

I remember the last time we had a playoff game against Philly. I'm sure they do too. I hope so. The build up to that game was unbelievable. The Panthers even became part of skits on SNL with the "Who the hell are the Panthers?" questions out of Philly. Let them live their dreams for another few days.

are there going to be many tickets for them to buy?

 

those guys are going to have to pay through the nose to get those tickets and the rate that it appears those tickets have gone, i suspect even those ones being sold on the secondary market will be largely bought up by panther fans with fans from other teams not really knowing who is going to be playing here next week or if they will be playing at all.

I expect McCoy to live large in this game and the Eagles win by 20.

[Growl]

Lol they have no idea what they'd be walking into

[RoaringRiot]

Lol they have no idea what they'd be walking into

You're kidding, right? They owned Charlotte last time they were here

[ScreamingMime]

And this surprises you?

 

Philly has the most ignorant and obnoxious fanbase in all of football.

 

Have you ever met any Chicago fans?  :growl:

 

Anyway, let Eagle fans live in fantasy land. It will be all the more satisfying when they have to eat crow.

You're kidding, right? They owned Charlotte last time they were here

In 2009?

Lol

The Eagles better worry about getting past the Saints first.  I know their issues playing on the road, but in sports many times that ends up being the team who wins.  The one who cant do something.  The Saints have a good defense, unlike in past years and I can see them causing turnovers in this matchup.  I think the Saints are going to do whatever they can to turn the tables and get themselves a road one.  Either way it should be a good game.
