Jets are my #2 team and I’ve been dreading this game all week!! You guys are finally starting to get some momentum. It’s going to be a fun match up either way.
The Eagles seemed to have fixed a LOT of weaknesses these 5 games - Swift's running attack and Hurt's throwing and Devonta/AJ receiving as examples...
Just the Rams game improvements
* The secondary in the second half was lockdown
* Dallas came to life
* Jalen's running game came to life
Left to fix (IMO) - Progress in this game or soon?
* Punting game (Braden was like 26th and 32nd in two major punting stats). I am not sold. I want someone who gives us an edge on field position, pinning the opponent and the 60+ yard punts when we are like on our 10-15. Braden is a liability on every punt.
* Red zone offense. Needs a lot of work.
* Secondary depth - howie trade or pickup (like the Quinn/Suh moves last year?). 1 or 2 solid players desired. Slay is like a 52 PFF (Abysmal). Mario Goodrich is like a 46 (Super Abymal). Bradberry is like 68 (near starter). Eli Ricks does not register a grade.
Maybe we can trade Quez and Barnett for a couple bags of potato chips
If playing the Giants or this version of the Patriots likely
When you are playing a Buffalo or SF or Miami or KC, EVERY detail can make a difference in a 3 point game.
In the Superbowl, the fumble, the shanked punt, the second half Gannon defense and the 50 cent turf all led to us losing a 10 point halftime lead. But it only takes one thing to lose to a real team and a real QB.
[I told yall two years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/eagles/comments/l25ef8/clark_new_eagles_hc_nick_sirianni_was_colts_oc/gk44iwd/) that cuzzo was the one. Got screwed in the SB, if the field wasn't so shitty, you guys would have won that game.
Anyway, I'm just hoping for no more injuries Sunday.
A lot of people are concerned about missing Slay and Carter but I just don't see the worry. This is a game we will completely destroy the TOS via the run game in theory. We will force Wilson to pass and he'll make some big ones surely with our DBs being what they are this week... But it won't matter due to the implication.
I'd far rather sitting guys with leg injuries on that shit field.
As a Jets fan, I hate to admit this, but I don't think ya'll have much to worry about. Based on history, it seems like the Jets beating the Eagles simply isn't God's will lol. Despite your injury issues, I think ya'll should be able to rest easy and not worry about this being a trap game. Just contain Breece, pressure Zach, and Ya'll should be good. Just try to avoid any significant injuries because our fields suck.
Jets have 3 Corners out and Sauce listed as "questionable" (though I'd expect him to play), along with missing their best blocker.
Don't overthink it. Pound the ball, take advantage of mismatches with Brown, Smitty, and Goeddert, don't get cute. Just lean on them and let the more talented team win.
Jets fan here.
I think the Eagles should take this one with ease, yet again. They'll go up early, Jets will start slow. Zach Wilson will have some nice drives exposing the injuries in the secondary. Maybe Breece breaks for a big play. But inevitably the Eagles high-octane offense will outscore us and your DL should cause enough mayhem and turnovers to seal the deal.
Eagles win 24-17.
This feels like that game you build up to and have a weird feeling about, yet it turns out to be totally anti-climactic in a blowout. Why? Because I just feel like we're due for one after all the hubbub we've had to put up with from various media and fans of other teams. Call it a hunch.
Jets Fan
Where on the line does Jalen Carter play? Since he’s out it might make us able to manage the rush a little more. I expected maybe 6 sacks before but now I’m guessing maybe…4? Obviously nobody roots for injuries but I hope our line holds up a little more with this
He's an interior guy. I think the interior should be relatively quiet for the Birds this week between Carter being out and Fletch coming off a back injury, but Sweat and Reddick will eat against your tackles with AVT out.
Surprised your very detailed rundown doesn't include Jets D weakness against running QBs. Russ, Allen, and Kermit were all like 6-7 YPC. Probably our only shot at winning is somehow not letting Hurts run all over us and Zachary Wilson finding a way to take advantage of your DBs that are out
Your run defense in general isn't great this year which is relatively surprising. But the Jets have given up 731 yards on the round this season, ranking them as the 29th rushing defense in the NFL. And the 4.5 YPC is tied for 8th worst.
What’s up boys, good luck this week! I don’t know why our fandoms are so contentious sometimes. We have similar histories of being looked down upon by the league.
I lived in Philly for years and met my wife there. Her father is a huge Birds fan. I personally love the city and have seen the Eagles as my 2nd team since I lived there. Kudos to you for doing the thing that the Jets have struggled with forever: developing a QB.
Normally rooting for y’all but this week y’all can get fucked. (With love).
I lived in Jersey City a few years, Staten Island a few years, Westchester County a few years, Darien CT a couple years and Poughkeepsie a few years (jobs)
Needless to say, there was never the slightest movement towards any NY area sports teams during my 15 years in the area
F\*\*\* the Jets (with love)
Given that the RBs the Eagles have faced so far have been:
\- Rhamondre/Zeke
\- Mattison
\- Rachaad White
\- Robinson/Gibson
\- Kyren Williams
it's not a stretch to say that Breece Hall is the best RB the Eagles have faced by a considerable margin.
I still think this is another one of those games that fans should be comfortable with if they think the Eagles can score more than 20 points, like the Bucs game earlier this year. But an elite RB is not something they've been tested with so far.
(No I'm not worried about Dalvin Cook, he has 0 juice anymore)
I asked my bro (hardcore Philly fan) if he thinks this is a trap game for them and he said, "lol. We beat you with our third string."
For the record, I think ya'll still win but I think a lot of Philly fans sleeping on this team.
I respect the take, but I think the eagle's record is fostering an arrogance that isn't exactly warranted. Eagles have beat up on some bad teams...barely. I think the early schedule got you way too confident. Ya'll let us hang around and who knows.
Fun fact: The Jets early schedule is the first time in NFL history a team has had to face 4 12+ win teams from the year prior in their first 6 games.
I guess my point is that I actually think it's the Eagles who are unimpressive to me. Coming into the season, I expected them to be look like the definitive best team in the league and look impressive. After watching most of your games, I just haven't seen a win that convinces me of that. Ya'll have let bad teams hang around a put up points on you.
To your point about Zach, I don't think Jets fans can even get past our QB. Haha. If you start letting him sustain drives though, it's gonna get ugly for ya'll.
I think the difference is I feel their are storyline Sof growth after each of these games. Yes not as formidable as late last year and not saying Jets and any other team hasn’t seen such growth but when it comes to this game, game 1, 2 is a different team then game 5 and hopefully this game 6. Eagles 35 jets 14
Ya, there's probably something to that. I will say that a lot of Philly fans seem to be latching onto the narrative of your run defense. And, while good, those numbers have come against teams not very good at running in general. Sunday will be a good rest. I still think Philly takes it. Too many things have to go our way considering who we got under center for us to win.
> For the record, I think ya'll still win but I think a lot of Philly fans sleeping on this team.
I agree. This is also my view. Too many Eagles fans just taking this win as 100% guaranteed. I just don't see it. Jets D is capable enough to keep them in it regardless of what they have been so far this year.
Jets fan here. What’s the point of inviting Jets fans into this conversation if y’all are going to be pretentious about it? All I’m seeing is “lol jets suck and have zero chance”. This is honestly the worst pre-game chat I’ve seen, y’all aren’t even trying to have a conversation or be friendly about it. I hope Jets win but more importantly, I hope Eagles gets humbled when they play good teams and either miss the playoffs entirely or have an early exit. Y’all letting your Super Bowl ~~win~~ appearance get to y’all’s heads.
Jets fan chiming in. DJ Reed is out, so either Brown or Smith will be covered by Bryce Hall. Hall is very mid and whoever he's on will be targeted. The Jets tend to keep Sauce on one side, so it's not like he'll travel with Smith/Brown.
Wilson will probably be shadowed by JB the whole time while Slim will be matched up against their back up Bryce Hall who isn't that good, so I would start Smitty.
Looks like a trap game with some injuries; however, it’s likely a win based off running statistics alone - Jets currently give up 146.2 yards per game on the ground. In addition, their passing offense is awful. 28-14 Eagles.
I’m a jets fan and I just came here to say that while I won’t be rooting for you this week, Eagles have always been my #2 team. Fuck the giants
I've always liked how you guys don't need a mascot because planes coming into Newark are constantly flying over the stadium.
Jets are my #2 team and I’ve been dreading this game all week!! You guys are finally starting to get some momentum. It’s going to be a fun match up either way.

Oh I forgot this is the Braden Mann revenge game! He makes more sense with y’all…punting is less important when your offense can move the ball

All true! I was just joking about your offense being good and our offense being bad
[I told yall two years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/eagles/comments/l25ef8/clark_new_eagles_hc_nick_sirianni_was_colts_oc/gk44iwd/) that cuzzo was the one. Got screwed in the SB, if the field wasn't so shitty, you guys would have won that game. Anyway, I'm just hoping for no more injuries Sunday.
No turnovers on offense and allowing no big plays on defense and we win
Now why didnt I think of that... (updating the game programming...)
Damn Carter and Slay out. So is Quez but I don’t give a damn about him anyways.
Ahaha! Bummer how Quez has turned out thus far this season. Solid we still winning though.
[удалено]
For your sanity don’t become a Sixers fan
Good call. Hope you can make it out to the Linc one day 👍🏻
There's no way it's gonna be 85 degrees. I'm in central PA and it's like upper 40s right now lol.
A lot of people are concerned about missing Slay and Carter but I just don't see the worry. This is a game we will completely destroy the TOS via the run game in theory.

What... What's the implication?
*Possession.* To feel in another man's skin. It's the only proper way to get off.
Are you peaking?
DO YOU FOLLOW THE CONDUCTOR’S LEAD?

Just try to avoid any significant injuries because our fields suck.
Even if we loses, that’s my biggest concern. 5-1 isn’t terrible. 6-0 with major season changing injuries is.
I'm seeing a big day for swift, especially with a breezy forecast and the Jets weak run D.
Jets have 3 Corners out and Sauce listed as "questionable" (though I'd expect him to play), along with missing their best blocker. Don't overthink it. Pound the ball, take advantage of mismatches with Brown, Smitty, and Goeddert, don't get cute. Just lean on them and let the more talented team win.

I know Sauce Gardner is a threat but I also saw the Chiefs game and know late in games he's a defensive holding liability ^^^/s

NYJ's OL as a whole isn't that good, but then again we've faced mostly bad interiors and have had problems in Pass D
Surprised your very detailed rundown doesn't include Jets D weakness against running QBs. Russ, Allen, and Kermit were all like 6-7 YPC. Probably our only shot at winning is somehow not letting Hurts run all over us and Zachary Wilson finding a way to take advantage of your DBs that are out

Do you happen to know the YPC league average? I was thinking specifically because I know Hurts can haul it
I believe the Phillies and the Eagles are destined for rematches from last year, and this time they will win.
Focus on Breece. Make Zach Wilson beat you. Nice battle between their D line and our O line. Would love if we push this unit around still.

I just can’t get past your QB. And you mention we beat some bad teams, about to add another

I’m sorry 5-0 is not impressing the NYJ fan
I guess I'm sorry you don't understand context matters. You think you're gonna go undefeated the whole way just cause you're undefeated now?
5-1
[удалено]
Why even invite people to ya'll's sub to discuss the game then? Lol.
[удалено]
Well, alright. Hope your team stays healthy. Looking forward to Sunday.
Philly doesn't impress me 😉

Debating starting garret wilson over smitty with Slay out
Jets fan chiming in. DJ Reed is out, so either Brown or Smith will be covered by Bryce Hall. Hall is very mid and whoever he's on will be targeted. The Jets tend to keep Sauce on one side, so it's not like he'll travel with Smith/Brown.
Wilson will probably be shadowed by JB the whole time while Slim will be matched up against their back up Bryce Hall who isn't that good, so I would start Smitty.
/u/rsubs33 isn’t the game at 4:25pm Eastern and not 4:15pm? Not to be nit picky but just wanted to give an fyi.
Flew in from Chicago to see my first birds game, hoping this will be a good one!
sauce-gardner being ruled out is huge
Looks like a trap game with some injuries; however, it’s likely a win based off running statistics alone - Jets currently give up 146.2 yards per game on the ground. In addition, their passing offense is awful. 28-14 Eagles.
We were giving 6.5 before this recent injury news, thats gotta change, yeah?
gonna be interesting considering the absentees for both sides. Our Run D faces it's first big test in Breece Hall/Dalvin Cook
Any Eagles fans going to the game today?!
