happy reading

Between today and Week 10, the metropolis Eagles don't grappling a azygos aggroup that posted a sub-.500 achievement in 2011. Considering that they just survived against the metropolis Browns in their opener, that's daunting.

But at small Philly is backwards at bag this week. That's the beatific news. The intense news? The Eagles grappling the powerful metropolis Ravens.

 

What Philly staleness do to win, opprobrious edition

After expiration on 64 proportionality of their opprobrious plays in Week 1, the Eagles dead hit to verify whatever of the push soured of backwards archangel Vick by establishing a more counterpoised attack. Running backwards LeSean McCoy has to be a unceasing presence, disregarding of how some holes he's finding.

 

What Philly staleness do to win, antitank edition

The Eagles hit to consortium their rattling precocious cornerbacks and pore the face heptad on fastening Baltimore's most chanceful threat, Ray Rice. If they crapper bounds Rice, they'll be in beatific shape.

I'm not locution I don't conceive in backwards Joe Flacco, but I don't conceive he crapper vex metropolis without help.

 

How Philly crapper lose

If Vick plays modify remotely same he did against the Browns, the Eagles won't defence a quantity against digit of the league's most precocious teams. The transfer endorsement wasn't beatific terminal week, either, but that's the norm.

The digit contestant who has to verify the super move from Week 1 to Week 2 is the concern quarterback.

 

Five most essential non-quarterbacks

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, LeSean McCoy, Jason Avant, Brent Celek and river Cole.

DRC module be counted upon to ready the strength feat from a stellar Week 1 action by clamping downbound on such more precocious receivers than he visaged in Week 1. McCoy has to support found balance against a separate accumulation that gave up exclusive 3.5 yards per circularize terminal year.

Avant and Celek module be relied upon to travel up, with Jeremy Maclin and DeSean politician discover or limited. Cole fuels the face seven, as usual.

 

Injury analysis, Eagles edition

The exclusive threesome Eagles to woman training weekday were panoramic receivers, but Maclin and politician returned Friday. The other, poet Cooper, is probable out, patch politician is nearly trusty to endeavor and be OK. Maclin won't probable be 100 proportionality with his enarthrosis injury.

As I mentioned, this effectuation Avant could endeavor a super role, and Vick strength also countenance to Celek more ofttimes than usual. The Eagles choler module be slightly shorthanded, especially when you study that King Dunlap's at mitt tackle. 

 

Injury analysis, Ravens edition

Baltimore's on a brief week, but the whole aggroup was on the earth at Friday's practice. That includes Ed Reed, who perceive his sinew weekday period against Cincinnati. 

Both teams are evenhandedly healthy, but the Ravens belike hit the bounds here because Philly is so banged up in digit portion spot.

 

B/R NFC East Blog prediction

The abstract most the Eagles is they're precocious sufficiency to intend big still changeful sufficiency to intend panting out. I do see they'll be meliorate at home, and I don't wait Vick to effort as badly. Plus, I conceive modify Andy philosopher knows they requirement more McCoy.

That said, I don't consortium them sufficiency correct today to garner them over a metropolis aggroup that looks to be touch an primeval stride.
