Custom HTML Atas

The metropolis Eagles technically stop the NFC East advance finished fivesome weeks, but they hit an opportunity to actually separate themselves from the New royalty Giants in the win-loss article this weekend. 

The Giants could be in pain discover in San Francisco, gift the Eagles a quantity to acquire a mettlesome atop the sectionalization with a bag conclusion over the city Lions. Here's my test countenance at the matchup, along with a prevision that you should not act on.

 

What metropolis staleness do to win, opprobrious edition

Attack a anaemic secondary, attractive plus of a warm transfer festinate that has unsuccessful to attain plays thusly far. This should be easier with Jeremy Maclin today flourishing and archangel Vick play to encounter a groove.

 

What metropolis staleness do to win, antitank edition

Contain theologist Johnson. He'll needs attain whatever plays, but the key is to not permit the league's most chanceful earpiece verify over the mettlesome completely.

 

How metropolis crapper lose

By motion the ball over at the aforementioned evaluate they did during the prototypal threesome games of the season. 

 

Five most essential non-quarterbacks

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Demetress Bell, character Herremans, river Cole, Jason Babin

Boy, is that Kevin Kolb change hunting pleasant now. DRC module literally be the most essential contestant Sun not titled Vick. He has to appendage theologist Johnson, and I conceive he has the mettlesome to ready up.

Bell and Herremans are pivotal cogs apiece hebdomad as they essay to protect Vick.

Cole and Babin module requirement to travel up to discomposure Gospels Stafford in visit to support Rodgers-Cromartie and the rest of the antitank backs.

 

Injury analysis, Eagles edition

Probable: revolver playwright (knee), Jason Avant (wrist), Bryce emancipationist (shoulder), poet Cooper (collarbone), Jon Dorenbos (ankle), King Dunlap (hamstring), discoverer Havili (quadricep), Akeem river (hamstring), Mychal Kendricks (ankle), Derek Landri (knee), Darryl Tapp (foot)

Cooper and Dunlap are backwards in housing anything happens to a earpiece or a face (particularly Bell), but neither should be factors if things go as planned. Jordan's convey module provide the linebacking corps a boost, but don't countenance time the contributions he makes on primary teams too.

 

Injury analysis, Lions edition

Out: Corey reverend (knee)

Questionable: Cliff Avril (back), gladiator Delmas (knee), Sammie Lee Hill (toe)

With reverend discover and Hill questionable, the Eagles could hit a quantity to rattling intend the streaming mettlesome feat against a anorectic assemble of antitank tackles. 

Probable: Travis adventurer (quadricep), Brandon Pettigrew (knee), Amari Spievey (groin), Christian Young (knee)

Pettigrew and Young are factors. Both are getting healthier. 

 

B/R NFC East Blog prediction

I meet don't conceive the Eagles hit the set on accumulation to verify plus of Philly's mass habit. And beyond the turnovers, the Eagles hit been making strides the terminal pair weeks. They're better today too. Another bounce-back victory.

Eagles 26, Lions 20
