The Whole Eagles Jazz

I am back. I apologize for the lack of writing the past two games but lets get right back into the Eagles talk shall we?! Well lets start first with that terrible Giants game that consisted of reassuring everyone that Matt Barkley is not the answer for the future quarterback. That brings up an interesting point that we shall get back to later. As for the Giants game it brought a major concern to Eagles fans everywhere as the offense was completely shut out for the second time in two weeks....well that offense absolutely blew up in week 9 against the Oakland Raiders! Michael Vick's hamstring was bothering him too much to finish the Giants game which brought Nick Foles back to starting against the Raiders. Not only did he take advantage of his opportunity but he set records. Throwing more touchdowns than in completions in one game is a big time performance, well Nick Foles tied the NFL record for most passing touchdowns in a game with 7. He completely shattered the Raiders coverage and ran the fast paced offense better than we have ever seen yet. I won't get into the whole "Is Nick Foles the Future QB" jazz yet as the future is very uncertain. Lets just focus on Foles taking out the Packers this week and getting back to .500. Riley Cooper blew up as well Sunday scoring 3 touchdowns on Raiders first round pick DJ Hayden. After starting off slow early in the year Cooper has emerged as a go to guy since Nick Foles has taken the rains of the offense. Desean Jackson had 150 yards and 1 touchdown putting him at 823 yds and 6 touchdowns on the year, this is on pace to break the Eagles all time receiving yards record owned by former WR stud Mike Quick. Chip Kelly is a genius when it comes to using Desean. Jackson struggled the final two seasons with Andy Reid. I feel this was because they had him at such a one dimensional role. Chip is using screens, reverses, punt returning, and taking advantage of deep balls in order to keep Desean hapy go lucky #10! Lesean McCoy is still the league leading rusher and had a receiving td off a screen, I don't know if anybody else has noticed but the Eagles rock the hell out of the screen plays. As for the defense, it has improved dramatically over the past 3 weeks. Yes the offense sucked vs the Cowboys and Giants, but that defense was unstoppable thanks to the outstanding play of the young front 7, and those nasty linebackers in Mychal Kendricks and Demeco Ryans who are having monster years. Cedric Thorton, Vinny Curry, Bennie Logan, Fletcher Cox have all developed very nicely in Billy Davis's scheme. Curry and Bennie Logan lead the team with 3.0 sacks and are nightmares against the run. I told you to RELEASE CURRY (Not release as in drop but get him on the field!). Next up is the Aaron Rogerless Green Bay Packers who will be starting Seneca Wallace....good luck! Nick Foles and the Eagles look to tie up the NFC East race with a win and a loss to the Saints for the Cowboys.

Prediction
Eagles 28-14 Packers
