We have all heard and read everything people can spout. One of the things that you can't avoid is the story line that Nick Foles is the birds QB today while Matt Ryan is the Atlanta QB; so really the birds are only showing up because they have to. They don't stand a chance to win.
But, as always, Foles isn't playing against Ryan. As always we need to talk about the Atl O against the birds D---a D that is one of the best in the NFL. If the D shows up the way they can they should be able to limit the Atl O. The other side is the Philly O. Is it less than it was with Wentz--of course. Doesn't mean they can't score. What it means is you have an average QB just like Trent Dilfer et al. Nick just needs to make a few plays. He isn't fleet of foot but I hope like hell he runs once or twice just to keep the D honest. Johnson and Kelce need to play like pro bowlers and open a hole or two while Big V needs to hold his own. Finally, special teams need to pin Atl deep and Elliot hit the FGs. Fly Eagles Fly
I'm okay with this matchup. Eagles 17 Atl 9
