I was impressed on how the Eagles won as a team. They had their 2 main stars out with injuries for the majority of the game and won. It was the Eagles Deffense that won the game. No team should allow 9 sacks.
What are everyone's thoughts on the Week 4, Sunday night match up with Da Bears?
As a Bear fan, i can let you know that the way in which the bears play football leaves little margin for error. The Chicago Bear defense is as good as it gets at stopping the run. And they have a good pass defense too although the numbers won't show it but this is because QB's have to pass 67 times!!! because they can't move the ball on the ground...at all. of course chicago has yet to face a RB as great as Westbrook. But they shut down guys like Joseph Addai with ease. the defense and special teams are 100% legit.
on to that offense...last week the Bears finally found a #1 Wr in brandon lloyd who had over 100 yards receiving and a TD as Kyle Orton finsihed with a QB rating of 84 which is good for Bear QB's. Orton is 9-2 in his career at Soldier Field.
The Bears have 3 good TE's but Ron Turner does not get them involved enough. Desmond Clark has the highest yards per catch out of any TE in the NFL over the past 3 seasons and Greg Olsen is as fast as a WR but built like a TE plus when to The "U" aka Tight End factory (bubba franks, kellen winslow, jeremy shockey, etc.)
The real key is Matt Forte. He is only a rookie but is just like Marshall Faulk in that he is a duel threat. he'll probably get 5-7 receptions versus the Iggles and 20-25 carries. He is a monster. Chicago's offensive line is not very good yet Matt Forte continues to have great production. The Eagles should be able to get 4 or 5 sacks on kyle orton.
who ever wins the turnover battle will win this game. chicago is better than their 1-2 record.

I agree completely, Da Bears are definitely better than their record shows. I actually have this game as a "loss" on my pre-season W-L sheet. But after seeing #5 looking good and healthy, I have changed my opinion. With Westbrook questionable though, who knows. E-A-G-L-E-S!!
