PREDICT NFC CHAMPIONSHIP: COMMANDERS @ EAGLES - Fried Eagles in Philly...the NFCCG!

[Dr. Do Itch Big]

We win because Jalen Hurts sucks.

He has always been overrated. His team is stacked. His best weapon are his legs and even with his legs he isn’t anywhere near dynamic as Lamar.

[Jumbo]

My biggest concern, besides the obvious of somehow holding Barkley to as little over 100 yds as possible, is cosmi being out while Jalen Carter is destroying downtown tokyo these days.

And yet I still see hurts as a problem too cuz even when his overall performance may not be that impressive in a game, he still makes one of two key throws or runs that extend a drive.

I think we're up against a real tough challenge, but given our journey so far I believe we have a pretty decent chance at winning it and that kind of belief in the team still feels amazing to me.

Jalen Hurts is set to go, but will wear a knee brace.

Good. That should limit his running which will limit Barkley because it's their RPO game that allows Barkley to get those huge chunks of yardage. Plus Joe already started the mind games saying that Hurts runs, they're going to hit him. HARD.

Eagles OL is a powerhouse in run blocking but have had struggles with pass protection.

If I'm Whitt I stack the box and all out attack and play press man and if Hurts beats me so be it, but I'm taking the fight to them.

[Clay2Ali]

Cam Jurgens, Philadelphia’s regular center, has a back injury. He didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday and participated on a limited basis on Friday. The Eagles’ injury report lists Jurgens’ status as questionable for Sunday’s game.

On Friday, Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni said Jurgens was “progressing,” and if the center can’t play on Sunday, then his backup, Dickerson, would be in.

Commaners downgrade DT Daron Payne to out



As the Commanders prepare for a game that could vault them to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1991, defensive tackle Daron Payne will miss his first game of the year.

Payne has been downgraded to out.

He had been listed as questionable with knee/finger injuries. The move likely means that Payne won’t make the trip to Philadelphia for the game.

He is being replaced by Sheldon Day who is better against the run than Payne and slightly worse pass rush.
