I am worried that Alfred Morris is going to shred our defense apart. As poor as our tackling has been, this guy can easily carry 2-3 men on his back without going down. I know the kid is just a 6th round rookie but he sure is making his presence known, dude is on fire this year. Felix Jones looked like Marshawn Lynch last sunday.

If we do not sure up our tackling and take better angles on the edges we could be in for a long day......they run this kid 20-25 times a game so he is going to get his carries.

Hey I am most excited to see Foles debut, but when I think of #46 running against our underperforming line, smh. :nonono:

No... the season is all but over. There isn't anything to worry about, just evaluate the players.

No, I'm excited because I have Morris on my fantasy team (in a keeper league no less).

Picked him up before week 1, he's been my RB1 ever since.

Hopefully Ryans knocks him out of the game on his first carry then.

Thanks, I'll try to remember to quote this again when he has 117 yards and 2 TDs.

Haha.

Exactly.  Worry about your life.  Not about your form of entertainment, of which you have no control over.

Iggles will be lucky to win 2-3 more games this season.  Embrace that.  Embrace the change that will come from this awful, dreadful, glorious season of losing.

That was the first thing I thought when I read this thread title.  However, there is at least one thing to worry about.  What are the chances that Jeff Lurie gives Andy Reid a pass because of injuries, off the field issues (Garretts death) etc ??  I started thinking about this and there is a chance of this happening, and the fans as a whole are expecting Reid to be gone, so if Reid was to stay it would be incredibly disappointing indeed.

Not worried because the Eagles aren't going anywhere. I'd be worried if we won against the Saints and Cowboys but we didn't. The season is over IMO and I'm just watching now to see how bad things get from here on out.

I'm hoping Foles does well..

Not worried at all.  I know the Eagles will lose this game as well as the rest of them.  i am prepared for the beat downs to come.  The Eagles suck.  Haven't you been watching the games?  :huh:

Because he is a sorry arse Cowgirls fan wishing he could be an Eagles fan.  Some times the EMB get flooded with creeps like this when the refs give them a game.  Ignor his dumb arse and he will go away. ;)

Yes - our defense will be shredded by the crappy Redskins.  Why worry?  The sun should be up on time Monday morning and Andy will be one loss closer to the exit door.

Player evaluation is all I care about at this point. I really want to see what Foles can do with the starters.

Starters?  Are the members of the O-line back?  Now that's good news,  I didn't know that.   In that case Foles will survive this game.  :-)

It's nearly mathematically impossible that we make the playoffs now.  I hope we can get a good spot in the draft now.  As fans we just evaluate the talent and decide who we would like to see next year.

I'm not worried. I'm hopeful he'll put up a decent fantasy score.

Don't get me wrong...I still will be rooting for an Eagles win (just like last week when I picked up the Cowboys' D because I knew the Eagles O would give it up like a cheerleader on prom night).
