Packers Eagles - What To Watch?

First, the 1st Quarter!

Body Language?

Effort??

Wouldn't it be nice to see the offense come out "smoking!"  The Eagle defense is playing well this year:

Eagles - 8th in yards per game - 334.6 yards
Eagles - 4th in points per game - 18.6 point/game

It is a defense run by coordinator Jim Schwartz!  Ex-Lions head coach!  He knows the Packers!  He knows Mike McCarthy!  He know Aaron Rodgers!  Will be TOUGH to beat!

On offense, the Offensive Coordinator is Frank Reich!

Frank Reich, is from MY old high school - Cedar Crest High School - Lebanon, PA!

Love this part of the BIO!
A native of Freeport, NY, Reich attended Cedar Crest H.S. in Lebanon, PA. He played collegiately at the University of Maryland from 1981-84 where he backed up Boomer Esiason before earning the starting job as a senior in 1984. As a senior, Reich rallied the Terrapins from a 31-0 deficit to defeat the Miami Hurricanes, 42-40. At the time, Maryland’s victory over Miami marked the greatest comeback win in college football history and is now only second to Michigan State’s 2006 35-point comeback over Northwestern.

And......
While Reich was rarely pressed into action during his nine years backing up Kelly, the former signal caller was called upon in the 1992 playoffs after Kelly sprained his right knee in the regular-season finale and was forced to sit out the first two rounds. Despite having only attempted one pass in a postseason game prior to the 1992 season, Reich made his first postseason start in the 1992 Wild Card round and engineered the greatest comeback in NFL history. With the Bills trailing the Houston Oilers by 32 points early in the third quarter, Reich orchestrated five second-half touchdown drives, four of which were capped by touchdown passes, and led a game-winning field goal drive in overtime to defeat Houston 41-38

The best part!  Big comeback wins!!

The Packer Defense - OUR defensive coordinator, Dom Capers, is coaching for his job!  What a pathetic year.  I know we have injuries, but, C'mon Man!

Can we stop a rookie QB, with average receivers & banged up running backs?  Time will tell!
