Before We talk about Philly I would like to take the chance to say this! I am calling it now. The old Dak Prescott will be back this week after facing the redskins. The redskins are a step up from the regular easy beginning schedule, I’m predicting a run heavy cowboys this week with the offensive line dumping the Redskins in the dirt. I wouldn’t recommend Dak being picked up for the season. It could be me being biased, but history does tend to repeat itself.
Philadelphia Eagles have been struggling for the first part of the season and have been trending downward because of the crazy spread of injuries on the team. It has been a huge blow to the team especially since the defense has shown a lack luster performance each week. The once defensive line bulls that were on the eagles are looking like kittens and the defensive secondary have been getting beat like they were caught stealing from the store. However, this can all change by beating the 3-0 Packers on Thursday night. Morale should sky rocket and this will continue to show the NFL that the Eagles will not fold due to their record.
Here is what they need to do to win
The Goal for the Eagles should be to stop Aaron Rodgers. It is a tall task to complete as the secondary for the Eagles have always been struggling against nearly every team in the NFL, but it could be completed if the defensive line has a big day tonight. Rodgers isn’t really known for throwing interceptions and his accuracy is usually always on point. However, when Aaron Rodgers is pressured, he can be inaccurate and forced to think more before he throws. Ultimately, the Eagles can force punts and when the game with their offense. On the offense of the Eagles the question is what are they doing with their running backs? Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders proved they can run, but they haven’t been given too much opportunity. They need to produce and set up the play option for Carson, which will open up Ertz and Alshon that has recently come back into the line up from injury.

Eagles are in a lot of trouble if they lose this game tonight against the packers. Their schedule will not be getting any easier for them after they play the jets in the next game. Eagles will have to play a strong vikings squad and then the divisional rivals, which is the cowboys. The cowboys are looking good this year due to that offensive line so everyone will need to be on point for a win there. If the Eagles continues to play from behind like this throughout the season, the most they can look forward to is a wild card spot.
Can the eagles win tonight against a hot packers team? Comment and follow.
