Wilson, Seahawks represent standard for visiting Eagles

Did we mention the Seahawks’ defense is a lot chattier than the Eagles?

“I think if you look at their defense and what they’ve done over the last few seasons, they’ve been at the top of the league for a while and what they do is pretty special”, Jenkins said.

In those three games, the Eagles ran the ball 96 times and passed the ball 102 times which is nearly as good as it gets when it comes to being balanced.

The Eagles are already faced with the challenge of doing battle with a talented Seattle squad which came away with a victory in New England last weekend. The third seed is Atlanta (6-4), followed by Detroit (5-4), the New York Giants (6-3) and Washington (5-3-1).

When the opportunities came to score three points, the Eagles’ coach chose to go for it on the fourth down, and in the end, the team didn’t convert. The Eagles are plus-four in turnover ratio, the Seahawks plus-five. “The last time that I was up there was with the Eagles a few years back, and it’s a loud place”. “But we’ve been able to get the ball out, be on time, get the ball in our playmakers’ hands and let them make plays”. “I don’t know that”. If we start worrying about what people say about us and how they feel about us, that’s a distraction.

Matthews offered another perspective on the road struggles. There are several Eagles players that the average fantasy owner will overlook.

The home victories are largely against solid teams, including the previously unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings, as well as the explosive Falcons.

Seahawks have led or been within one score in fourth quarter of 87 straight regular-season games. We went out there and got the job done. Thankfully, Pederson did include Ertz in the game plan on Sunday, as Ertz finished the game with eight catches, 97 yards receiving.

A year ago the Eagles were 4-4 on the road and 3-5 at the Linc. However, Philadelphia’s birds are just 5-4 and find themselves at the bottom of a competitive division and in the middle of a crowded race for the NFC’s two wild card spots.

Additionally there are only five teams with more takeaways than Eagles, who have 16, including nine interceptions.

“We “spied” him and tried to keep him in the pocket, but he actually would scramble and go backwards to buy time and throw the ball downfield”, Barwin said.

Hang on for a minute.we’re trying to find some more stories you might like.. But I don’t know, man. He needs to take what he is given and rely on his team to carry him the rest of the way. The things that you see on the field are also the things he does off the field.

Seattle has actually allowed 24 or more points in its last three games, something that last happened in 2010. The offense couldn’t find a way into the endzone against a suspect Falcons defense and while the defense was dominant, they’ve been impressive at home all season.

Carson Wentz has been such an immediate hit that he has drawn some comparisons to Seattle star Russell Wilson. At 5-4, the Eagles are in the hunt for a playoff berth in the NFC and linebacker Jordan Hicks believes every game is an important one at this stage of the season.
