Got to stay aggressive. Offense -mix things up, no turnovers drops or brain farts with penalties.
Defense -be aggressive throughout. No three-man rushes with the middle of the field wide open and your secondary playing in the third row of the end zone seats. They're going to make their plays. You have to make yours. If you want to sit back and play it safe we're going to get blown out. Stopping Barkley from having a big day is probably the key. It's been mentioned here about Barry Sanders having 13 carries for minus one yard against us in a playoff game. I remember I think it was Butler saying what Fritz told them going into the game and during the game. Basically, he told them first man just go at him I don't care if you make the tackle or not. Make him stop or change direction and the pursuit will clean him up. Might be something worth thinking about today
I think the only way that you can beat Philly is with a solid offensive performance or you need a great defensive line to slow THEIR offensive line. Our one chance is the first but we are up against the #1 defense in the league.
Now LAST season we went into Detroit and actually beat their great O line on Thanksgiving. Even Dan Campbell admitted it. How we did it I do not know. Maybe the Lions ate their turkey too early.
