Winners and Losers - Eagles Week

[MadScientist]

One more loser:
Guion's paycheck - that sack he had could have been called for helmet to helmet, and will likely receive a fine. (QB ducked into the hit, but rules is rules).

[Guiness]

I was thinking that too, but the tip-toe dance around the marker to get the TD was enough to put him on the winners list, in my opinion.

And the 50yd reception early. It was a statement. Pack didn't get a TD, but they scored on the opening drive, putting them ahead where they stayed. The Eagles were literally playing from behind the whole game because of that completion.

Lacy!!!

Did 75 try to kick him after he shook off the tackle?

Winners - Packers

Losers - Iggles

It always blows my mind when I see defenses load the box and leave Nelson 1x1 with the CB and one deep Safety.

Seems to me that it's become abundantly clear that the way to beat this offense is by having the ability to generate a pass rush with your front four, and playing two-deep safety.

That's a description of the Lions' defense. I wonder who else has the ingredients for that recipe?

Rams, but they won't make the playoffs.
Seattle maybe, but they either injuries or SB hangover seem to be taking their toll.
AZ? I know their defense is playing great, but not sure how they are doing it.

49ers with Aldon Smith returning. Several teams in the AFC. Bills, for example. Pats can do it in a sense. Look at last nights game at Indy - Belicheat will do that same thing - put Revis on Cobb and double Nelson - make Rodgers throw to the other guys and hope he gets pressure with line plus Ninkovich.

Jordy Nelson - Jordy being Jordy

He did have some uncharacteristic drops. Just a so-so day for his standards.

Pass blocking - Rodgers had all day to throw and the Eagles paid for it, big time.

Packers would be unbeatable with that pass blocking every game.

Big loser to the refs for the celebration in endzone penalty. I don't like the rule to begin with, but there was no organized performance there.

They started to make it work (too late) in the second half. Packers didn't have the same big plays. But at that point, a letdown might be impossible to avoid.

I worry less about Fritz's 2 deep/pass rushing front four at Lambeau where the O line gets the advantage of hearing the snap count. Was much worse on the road versus Seattle, Detroit and the Saints once AR was hurt.

Have to hope Bulaga and Bach are better late in the season on the road. BB will likely be healthy at least.

Packers still have a reasonable shot of home field if they only drop one more. Cardinals have a brutal remaining schedule and more road than home contests. Packers have to get two big wins at home.

How big is Revis? Last night he looked short. If Jordy is taller (at 6' 3"), I still think they dial it up to Son of Ozzie and Harriet.

lol....SOOAH can beat Revis if the zebras call it as it's written.

Crosby missed...not a fan

Crosby missed a 50 yd field goal into the wind on a cold day. I was at the game and had a bad angle, so I couldn't tell how bad he missed, but that's a tough chance. I think in a close game MM probably goes for it on 4th and 6.

Hyde!!!

I dunno if I'm in the minority here, but I don't wanna see Hyde play defense. The guy allowed 2 long passes in the game, including the one that put the Eagles in scoring position prior to the half. Hyde should focus mainly on special teams.

The Packers have a better option: Playmaker Casey Hayward.
