How Much Of A Chance Do the Arizona Cardinals Have Against The Eagles In Philadelphia?

In Philly, Eagles coming off a loss an are pissed, early start time, raucous crowd in Philly, and honestly, the Cardinals just aren’t very good. Philly has a strong pass rush, and we know how awful our tackles are. We might be able to run the ball, but that’s probably the only advantage the Cardinals will have. Besides that if we are playing from behind, we will be passing all game and the Philly pass ruxh will absolutely tee off on our tackels and QBs.

I would love to be surprised by a Cardinals win, but I don’t see it happening.

I’ll repeat what I said last night, the Bears showed how to defend the Eagles, don’t let them get the big play. You can’t stop Vick forever, but you can contain him. Our bog O-Line could also open up some massive holes in the run game, and DRC looks like he is struggling badly right now along with the rest of their pro bowl corners.

The defense is looking better as the season progresses, particularly since Porter has been shelved for Acho and Schofield. The secondary preventing the big play is a huge concern though. A bigger concern is if Beanie is healthy enough to contribute. He had nothing against St. Louis. The Cardinals are keeping themselves in games. If they can tighten things up they stand as good a chance of winning as not. The Eagles are vastly over rated.

… is more about what you make of a situation then what skills you bring to the situation. When people talk about the “elite” QB’s in the league the first names you hear are Manning, Brees, Rodgers… then Brady, then Big Ben. Look at thier records. Brady and Ben don’t get the WOW’s but they sure get the wins… why? Because they are elite at winning games with poise and presence. Brady and Ben both had very average stats their first years in the league but both won Superbowls. Both threw for an avg of 210 yd per game in those years. Ben’s first two years were under 200 ypg. It’s all about poise.

For our young players that have been getting lots of playing time or are just stepping into a more prominent roll. Philly is reeling off a loss at home and we are coming off the first win since week 1. The Cardinals running game appears to be the only advantage they have (maybe linebackers as well, as sad as that is) and will need Beanie to step up huge (and look like he is somewhat healthy again….). It is time to find out if we can contain Mike Vick and the speed on the Philidelphia offense. I think a key for the defense is A) stop the big play and B) create some turnovers. We need favorable field position or even points off the defense for the Cardinals to pull off an upset in Philly. The Cardinals are usually good for at least an upset a year so to me this feels like it could be it.
Skelton will also need to play much better but hopefully he will have support from a running game this time! If we can’t run on Philly we can’t run on anyone…

Sunday will provide us with all our answers.

Look at the first half of the Baltimore game. Our defense got key turnovers, and put the offense in great position, and we capitalized. If we can get big plays on defense i say we have a chance to win.
Who ever is at QB has to take care of the ball and manage the game well. Hopefully we can have a healthy Sherman and Beanie, so that we can use our advantage of a good running game on their suspect run defense.
If we can get these aspects to come together, and play consistent defense. we could very well win this game.

Thought I heard they were 4-3 last night but guess I misheard that. Good catch and yeah it only states the case even more.

And a consistent effort on defense.

Your turn Dockett!! Need the front 3 to play hard again this game, those stops on 3rd and 1 (and 4th and 1) vs. the Rams were huge difference makers. Our guys wanted it, and got it, hope they come into this game ready to fight again!!
