Week Four: Eagles at Broncos

[General_Failure]

-10/58.5 is the early line/total

I don't know if the Eagles can score 9 points this week.

I might cut out before half.  Errands.

[BigEd76]

Broncos 41-29 (thanks to a failed 2-point attempt where Lane tries to run it in)

denver on a short week, everyone

A SHORT WEEK!

Eagles running an offense where they want 100 plays with barely any rest between each one...in altitude.

Shoddy secondary that will be on the field a lot because of the offense (successful or unsuccessful)

Broncos - 42
Eagles - 27

I can't imagine anyone trying to run that offense in Denver.  It's hard enough to run it in a normal atmosphere but to do it in a place where the other team has a huge physical advantage would be suicide.

So, of course Kelly will do just that...

[Rome]

Oh, and I also think this is the game Vick goes down for good.   I'm not being a fleshpop here either.  Just have a bad feeling that he's done.

Of course the Eagles will get crushed, but it will be due to playing a far superior team, not because of any bullshtein about the altitude. It has some effect, but it's way way overrated. It's become a dumb sports cliche. And it remains true that defenses get more tired than offenses, even if the defense is acclimated to 5000 ft and the offense is not.

The altitude thing is very much real for normal people and 300lb lineman.  Freakishly fit RBs, WRs and DBs not so much.  And it definitely doesn't bother QBs because if it did, the refs would throw a flag.

The 2013 Broncos [1460 yds] & 2013 Eagles [1396] rank 4th and 8th in NFL history for most total yards through three games.

Ha!

[ice grillin you]

the hurry up offense will kill the eagles not cause of the altitude but because its going to give denver more possesions to score

i wish morons would stop posting offensive stats in relation to historical numbers because they dont mean shtein....this is a completely different era that is going to be smashing records on a weekly basis
