I think they can play much better than they have the past two games in run defense. But you're right, teams with halfway decent ground games are going to test us there until we show them it's a bad idea.
Perry: This Eagles formation could give Pats defense headaches
Houston runs a ton of 2 TE sets as well. Not a good matchup. Hopefully they spent the past 2-weeks figuring this out...
Eagles are 5-4 with losses to the Falcons, Lions, Cowboys and Vikings. They are battling to get to 9-7 or 10-6 at best.
Eagle defense gave up 27 points to the Redskins, Lions and Packers, 38 points to the Vikings, 37 points to the Cowboys. The Eagles have allowed 17 TDs in 28 visits to the Red Zone by their opponents. I am not impressed by that defense.
On offense, Carson Wentz is without DeSean Jackson (IR), and both Darren Sproles and Alshon Jeffrey were DNPs yesterday. Their best running back, Howard, is hurt.
Zack Ertz is by far Wentz' favorite target with 75 targets. Belichick will focus on taking Ertz away and stopping the run. Nelson Agholor will get a steady diet of Stephon Gilmore. This is not a tough team to limit its ability to move the ball.
Wentz is averaging 228 yards passing per game, 18th in the NFL right behind your favorite turnover machine, Baker Mayfield. (TB12 is averaging 281 yards passing/game.)
Enough with the superstitious crap. This is a mediocre team that runs a conventional pocket passing offense with lots of injury issues. The Patriots defense will have a good day.
Their #1 RB is out
Goedert isn't one of the best TE in football. Ryan Izzo who people like you call the worst TE in football only has 80 less yards than Goedert
What's this based on? 2015?
Pats have made a lot of "best D-Lineman in the league" non-factors with pass game schemes. Edelman & Sanu working the middle against that secondary on quick passes is how you do it.
I like how you don't at all touch on any matchups the Pats have advantage in. Like you say Eagles have a bad secondary but imply it's a bad matchup for the Pats because Eagles have the 2nd best DLineman in the league.
Yet with all that said they’re the second best team we’ve played all year.
Really?
Defensively, the Eagles stink.
The Eagles give up more points per game than the Browns, Ravens, Steelers, and Bills. And, they've allowed more TDs than the Redskins, Jets, Bills and Ravens.
Their run D is quite good...
I'm curious why you feel that way
Yeah. Good on yards per run but tied for 25th in rushing TDs allowed. The Eagles are awful in the Red Zone.
