Birds Weekly: Ray Didinger, Derrick Gunn Preview, Predict Week 11 Eagles vs.Lions · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

0:10
Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody.
0:11
Speaker 2: This is Bird's Weekly, our preview edition as Eagles get
0:14
Speaker 2: ready to take on the high power Detroit Lions and
0:16
Speaker 2: Lincoln Financial Field on a Sunday night. And rate the
0:19
Speaker 2: Lions coming here the six and three. I'm surprised they've
0:22
Speaker 2: lost three games, but they're four to one in a row.
0:24
Speaker 2: They won three in a row. They have the number
0:27
Speaker 2: six offense in the National Football League, the number seven
0:30
Speaker 2: defense in the National Football League. And this is the team,
0:35
Speaker 2: one of those few teams in the NFC we're gonna
0:37
Speaker 2: have to watch closely as team's jockey for position to
0:41
Speaker 2: the stretch run. And I can't emphasize enough how huge
0:45
Speaker 2: this game is for the Eagles in terms of that
0:48
Speaker 2: all important seating.
0:51
Speaker 1: It is it is, And we looked at this during
0:54
Speaker 1: the bye, how important these two games were Green Bay
0:58
Speaker 1: and Detroit, teams that are right there, right there with you, uh,
1:03
Speaker 1: in the standings, and teams that looking down the road.
1:07
Speaker 1: It's at this point, it's it's really all about the
1:10
Speaker 1: seeding of stuff and the way things are now. There's
1:12
Speaker 1: only one buy uh, and you look at what this
1:15
Speaker 1: what the NFC is going to be like going into
1:18
Speaker 1: the postseason with with with all of those teams, how
1:21
Speaker 1: closely bunched they all are getting that if you can
1:24
Speaker 1: get that number one seed this year, minute that that
1:26
Speaker 1: is going to be huge. And the Lions are right
1:29
Speaker 1: there with you. And I think in most people's reckoning,
1:32
Speaker 1: if you look at the power rankings now coming coming
1:35
Speaker 1: off this weekend's games, sure it's you know, it's Eagles
1:39
Speaker 1: Lions right there at the top. I mean, they're they're
1:41
Speaker 1: right there as the Packers were last week. Well, the
1:43
Speaker 1: Eagles took care of the Packers, and now you got
1:46
Speaker 1: the Lions. And even though you're playing them in Philly,
1:49
Speaker 1: where the Eagles are very good, the Lions are a
1:52
Speaker 1: real challenge. They they really are there. They're a very
1:55
Speaker 1: well balanced team. Uh They're they're good on offense, good
1:58
Speaker 1: on defense. And their offenses you know, got Jared Gobbs
2:01
Speaker 1: completing almost seventy five percent of his passes. Yes, Jamier
2:04
Speaker 1: Gibbs average him a five yards carry. They're they're really good.
2:09
Speaker 1: I mean, their offensive line is one of the best
2:13
Speaker 1: it did. And they're you know, they made some changes.
2:16
Speaker 1: They lost some guys, they had to bring in some
2:17
Speaker 1: new guys, and I wondered because their their offensive line.
2:20
Speaker 1: Last year I thought was right there with the Eagles
2:22
Speaker 1: in terms of being the best in the league. They
2:24
Speaker 1: lost a couple of guys, they had to make some changes.
2:27
Speaker 1: I wondered if they were going to be as good,
2:29
Speaker 1: and they are. They're not. They're not missing a beat.
2:32
Speaker 1: And I know coming off that was a bitter loss
2:35
Speaker 1: for the Lions to the Vikings. They they shouldn't have
2:38
Speaker 1: lost that game. They know that. And coming off that game,
2:42
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell said he was very unhappy and said, I'm
2:44
Speaker 1: going to take over the play calling. Yeah, And they
2:48
Speaker 1: went out and they dropped forty four the on Washington
2:50
Speaker 1: Commanders here and right now they're they've scored almost three
2:55
Speaker 1: hundred points, so I think got like two nine point
2:57
Speaker 1: or something. So what you said, exactly right, This ain't
3:01
Speaker 1: going to be a ten to seveny eight. I mean,
3:03
Speaker 1: he was going to win this one to run out
3:05
Speaker 1: to score more than ten points.
3:06
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of times when head coaches decided
3:09
Speaker 2: to take over the play calling, you know, it works
3:11
Speaker 2: for some, it doesn't work for others. And a little
3:14
Speaker 2: bit shocking that for a team that was averaging over
3:16
Speaker 2: thirty points the head coach decides he's taking over the
3:19
Speaker 2: play calling, and lo and behold, they go out and
3:21
Speaker 2: put up forty four on Washington. Your thoughts on Dan
3:25
Speaker 2: Campbell as a play caller. He's a great motivator, His
3:31
Speaker 2: players believe in him, they trust him in a lot
3:34
Speaker 2: of ways. But he stepped up and took over, and man,
3:39
Speaker 2: did he enhance that offense two folds. Now. Granted, Washington's
3:43
Speaker 2: not a juggernaut, but still, you put up forty four
3:46
Speaker 2: points on anybody in the National Football League, you have
3:48
Speaker 2: more than done your job for that particular day.
3:51
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive. And the thing about Dan Campbell is I
3:57
Speaker 1: think there's a perception of him as as what you said,
4:03
Speaker 1: as a motivator, a tough guy, a guy that kind
4:07
Speaker 1: of creates a culture for a team. I mean, he's
4:11
Speaker 1: a little bit I don't want to make this sound critical.
4:14
Speaker 1: He comes off as a little bit like a caricature
4:18
Speaker 1: of like, you know, like like your tough guy, super
4:21
Speaker 1: macho coach and a guy that gets his team ready
4:24
Speaker 1: to play and the guys love to play for him
4:26
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, which is all true. But I
4:29
Speaker 1: think he's a little bit underrated in terms of his
4:31
Speaker 1: football IQ. I think what happens sometimes and we've seen
4:36
Speaker 1: this now over time, is when he gets real involved
4:39
Speaker 1: in the x's and o's of it. Sometimes he is
4:43
Speaker 1: so hyper aggressive that sometimes he makes decisions about going
4:47
Speaker 1: for it when he maybe shouldn't going for two when
4:50
Speaker 1: maybe it'd be smarter than taking one. He can get
4:53
Speaker 1: caught up in the emotion of the game. But there
4:57
Speaker 1: was not an evidence against Washington. I mean, I thought
5:00
Speaker 1: it was a very controlled, very smart, extremely well called
5:03
Speaker 1: game on his part, and I'm expecting him to come
5:08
Speaker 1: in and be a real tough out for the Eagles.
5:10
Speaker 1: I really am.
5:11
Speaker 2: Now.
5:11
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, we've seen him over time. We know that
5:15
Speaker 1: he is a very accurate passer and somewhat similar to
5:21
Speaker 1: Love in the sense that if you don't get pressure
5:24
Speaker 1: on him and he gets feeling comfortable and settles into
5:27
Speaker 1: the pocket, he can pick you apart. So I think
5:31
Speaker 1: the Eagles game plan in this is going to be
5:33
Speaker 1: very much what it was in Lambeau, which is we
5:35
Speaker 1: got to get pressure every time on every plas, not
5:40
Speaker 1: just selectively here and there. Pressure room, but you've got
5:43
Speaker 1: to get people around him, bothering him, moving them, hurrying him.
5:47
Speaker 1: If you do that, you can control Jared Goff but
5:49
Speaker 1: if you let him get comfortable, he could be a
5:51
Speaker 1: real problem.
5:52
Speaker 2: You know you had mentioned Jamiir Kibbs gives a few
5:55
Speaker 2: moments ago, and I will argue with anybody. I think
5:58
Speaker 2: that the Lions have the best one to running attack
6:01
Speaker 2: in the National Football League with Gibbs and David Montgomery.
6:04
Speaker 2: You look at the numbers. You know, Gibbs the loan
6:06
Speaker 2: is one hundred and twenty eight carries six hundred and
6:08
Speaker 2: ninety five yards five point four yards per carry eight
6:11
Speaker 2: rushing testdowns. Montgomery one hundred four carries four hundred and
6:16
Speaker 2: sixty plus yards four and a half yards to carry
6:18
Speaker 2: five testdowns. They have thirteen rushing testdowns. Those two guys
6:22
Speaker 2: have combined for all thirteen rushing testdowns. You want to
6:26
Speaker 2: talk about mister inside and mister outside, these two are it?
6:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are, they are. It really is kind of
6:34
Speaker 1: the thunder lightning kind of combination.
6:37
Speaker 2: Yep.
6:37
Speaker 1: I mean. Montgomery is a tough, hard nosed inside runner
6:41
Speaker 1: who breaks tackles and gets you every inch plus some
6:47
Speaker 1: every time he carries the ball. And Gibbs is a
6:50
Speaker 1: constant breakaway threat. You know, if you miss one tackle,
6:53
Speaker 1: you miss you missed one tackle on him, he's gone,
6:57
Speaker 1: and that's They are a very tough duel set of
7:00
Speaker 1: running backs and Eagles are going to have to I mean,
7:04
Speaker 1: this is this is going to be a game where
7:06
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to tackle really well. I mean, and
7:08
Speaker 1: but the Eagles right now, with the way their defense
7:11
Speaker 1: played in Green Bay, uh and with some of the
7:13
Speaker 1: reinforcements they've got here now and playing the way they're playing, Yeah,
7:18
Speaker 1: I think that that's going to be the challenge. But
7:20
Speaker 1: I think they have the guys to do it. But
7:21
Speaker 1: you can't you can't ever relax with this team. I mean,
7:25
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna play a sixty minutes and they
7:29
Speaker 1: know how big this game is. And you know, I
7:31
Speaker 1: know the Eagles have a big home field advantage at
7:34
Speaker 1: the Link and it's it's a tough way. We said
7:37
Speaker 1: it a million times. It's a really tough place for
7:39
Speaker 1: visiting teams to come in and deal with the stadium,
7:42
Speaker 1: deal with the crowd, deal with the emotion, deal with
7:44
Speaker 1: the noise, all that stuff. And it's all true, it's
7:47
Speaker 1: all on the record with the Eagles, they like never
7:49
Speaker 1: lose it home. But you know what, that actually sort
7:52
Speaker 1: of plays into the hands of a coach like Dan Campbell,
7:56
Speaker 1: because because his message to his team all this week
8:00
Speaker 1: is going to be built around exactly that. In other words,
8:04
Speaker 1: everybody says it is the toughest stadium in the league
8:06
Speaker 1: to go in for a visiting team to go win
8:08
Speaker 1: a winning game, that these are the toughest fans, and
8:11
Speaker 1: is the toughest town, and you know, but we're gonna
8:13
Speaker 1: go in and we're gonna show them that we're tougher that.
8:15
Speaker 1: I mean, this is exactly This is the golf ball
8:18
Speaker 1: sitting on the tee for Dan Campbell. Is are all
8:21
Speaker 1: of these elements about where if the game boils down
8:25
Speaker 1: to who's the toughest, We're going to be the toughest.
8:28
Speaker 1: That's that's going to be his message to his team.
8:30
Speaker 1: And listen, these guys buy in with him, I mean,
8:34
Speaker 1: and they they play hard for him, and so this
8:37
Speaker 1: is going to be a really, really tough game. And
8:40
Speaker 1: when you look at the big picture of the NFC
8:42
Speaker 1: right now, the Eagles Allions are right there. I Mean,
8:45
Speaker 1: if you if you ask me who are the best
8:47
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC right now, I would probably tell
8:50
Speaker 1: you Eagles, Lions, Rams, and I think they're the three
8:54
Speaker 1: best teams. Uh and okay, well you've already dealt with
8:57
Speaker 1: the Rams, but now you've got you know, now you've
9:01
Speaker 1: got these guys coming in and this one isn't going
9:03
Speaker 1: to be easy. Plus I'm sure there's a thing, an
9:05
Speaker 1: element in the Lions' minds that this is the team
9:08
Speaker 1: we should have been playing last year, yes, to go
9:11
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, you know, and we screwed up.
9:13
Speaker 1: We lost a game we shouldn't have lost. Well, we
9:15
Speaker 1: just paid them back beating Washington. We just paid them
9:19
Speaker 1: back with what we did on Sunday. Now, let's go
9:22
Speaker 1: get Philadelphia and show the show people who who the
9:25
Speaker 1: real power of the NFC is. That's going to be
9:28
Speaker 1: the message that's being delivered out in Detroit. And this
9:31
Speaker 1: is the team that's going to come in here on
9:33
Speaker 1: Sunday absolutely ready to play.
9:35
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned golf a little while ago, and
9:39
Speaker 2: you know, everybody's talking about Matthew Stafford is having an
9:42
Speaker 2: MVP type season and rightfully so. But I believe Jared
9:47
Speaker 2: Goff should be also included in that conversation. I mean,
9:50
Speaker 2: the man has he's completing, like you said, just under
9:53
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of his passes twenty touchdown passes already
9:57
Speaker 2: and only three interceptions in a one to seventeen to
9:59
Speaker 2: seven QB rating.
10:01
Speaker 1: If anybody's If anybody's hot right.
10:04
Speaker 2: Now in terms of playing football, this guy, Jared Golf
10:07
Speaker 2: is on a roll right now.
10:09
Speaker 1: It is, and it's it is funny how it wasn't
10:13
Speaker 1: all that long ago. Jeez, maybe it was that long ago,
10:18
Speaker 1: you know, but you look back when when it was
10:21
Speaker 1: GoF Wentz were the top two guys coming out in
10:24
Speaker 1: that draft. They're won two, uh, and you know, Golf
10:29
Speaker 1: goes to the Rams, Wentz comes to Philadelphia, Wentz has
10:32
Speaker 1: the great season. You know, Golf sort of goes in
10:35
Speaker 1: the tank. Uh, And people were thinking, you know, maybe
10:39
Speaker 1: Golf's a bus you know, out of those two guys.
10:42
Speaker 1: You know, when's this guy guy, when's the guy that's
10:44
Speaker 1: going to go on to start him? You know, when's
10:47
Speaker 1: is the guy that's going to be the franchise guy.
10:49
Speaker 1: And Jared Goff is the guy who didn't quite pan out,
10:53
Speaker 1: got to a Super Bowl with the Rams, played very poorly,
10:56
Speaker 1: and then the team kind of rote him off, you know,
10:58
Speaker 1: and then they traded them off to Detroit. And I
11:01
Speaker 1: don't think anybody thought that he was going to go
11:03
Speaker 1: there and resurrect himself. Yeah, but he did, and now
11:08
Speaker 1: he's one of the best quarterbacks in the league and
11:10
Speaker 1: he's playing extremely well.
11:12
Speaker 2: Now.
11:13
Speaker 1: The book on him has always been, and I suspect
11:16
Speaker 1: will always be that he's a guy that doesn't handle
11:18
Speaker 1: pressure all that great, right, that the pressure around him
11:24
Speaker 1: bothers him and throws him off his game. Well, you
11:26
Speaker 1: can say that about a lot of quarterbacks, but it
11:28
Speaker 1: certainly is true with him. And if the Eagles are
11:30
Speaker 1: going to win this game on Sunday, they're going to
11:33
Speaker 1: have to do that. I mean they're going to kind
11:34
Speaker 1: of have to do to him what they did to
11:37
Speaker 1: Jordan Love out in Green Bay, which is just get
11:39
Speaker 1: constant pressure on him all the time. Speed him up,
11:42
Speaker 1: you know, don't give them time to see the field
11:45
Speaker 1: or deliver the ball and set his feet. Because if
11:48
Speaker 1: he can do that and he gets and he is
11:50
Speaker 1: the ultimate rhythm quarterback, if you let him find a rhythm,
11:54
Speaker 1: you can have a real long day on your hands.
11:55
Speaker 3: Hey, it's Jeff Mosher. And if you have a family

14:36
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, people wonder how do you stop this
14:38
Speaker 2: Detroit Detroit offense? But Green Bay season opener held them
14:41
Speaker 2: to thirteen You kind of throw that one out of
14:43
Speaker 2: the window because in a season open and nobody's where
14:46
Speaker 2: you think they're going to be. After four or five
14:49
Speaker 2: games into a season. Kansas City held them to seventeen points,
14:52
Speaker 2: and then the Vikings in Detroit held them to twenty
14:55
Speaker 2: four points, you know, which is well below their average
14:57
Speaker 2: of thirty one point four points a game. This offense
15:01
Speaker 2: can be negated, but man, with the weapons they have
15:04
Speaker 2: and Jamison Williams Sanda, it's not an easy task to
15:10
Speaker 2: stop this offense by any stretch of the imagination.
15:13
Speaker 1: No, No, they do have a lot of weapons, and
15:15
Speaker 1: they and they run the ball really well, and they'll
15:18
Speaker 1: run it in any situation. And and Gibbs is he is.
15:23
Speaker 1: He is really explosive. I mean he doesn't he doesn't
15:26
Speaker 1: need much to turn five yards into forty yards, you know.
15:30
Speaker 1: I mean he's so tackling, which the Eagles did extremely
15:34
Speaker 1: well on Lambeau. I mean they were around the football
15:37
Speaker 1: and they were tackling all night long. Well, they're going
15:39
Speaker 1: to have to do all of that on Sunday to
15:41
Speaker 1: control that running game because if the Lions. We've talked
15:43
Speaker 1: a lot about golf, and obviously you need to because
15:46
Speaker 1: he's playing that well, but the Lions are capable of
15:50
Speaker 1: winning a game on the ground if they have to,
15:52
Speaker 1: and so this is going to be you know, Vic
15:55
Speaker 1: Fangio had a great game Monday night against in Lambeau.
15:58
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was a that was a
16:01
Speaker 1: masterpiece that Vic painted on Monday night against the Packers.
16:05
Speaker 1: But he didn't have any time to celebrate on that
16:08
Speaker 1: flight home because I guarantee once he got on that
16:10
Speaker 1: plane and the wheels came up and they headed out
16:12
Speaker 1: of Lambo, he was thinking about the Detroit Lions because
16:15
Speaker 1: he knows the threat that they represent. So you know,
16:18
Speaker 1: Vic's not gonna He's gonna have He's going to be
16:20
Speaker 1: up late this week too. Trying to figure out a
16:22
Speaker 1: plan to control that offense.
16:24
Speaker 2: Well, not just that, because you know, you look at
16:26
Speaker 2: Green Bay's offense is a very bland offense and in
16:30
Speaker 2: some ways a very predictable offense. But here comes like
16:33
Speaker 2: a circus offense. They love to run their Gadget place.
16:37
Speaker 2: And as much as we are fans of the Philadelphia Eagles, Ray,
16:40
Speaker 2: I'm also a fan of of football and especially teams
16:44
Speaker 2: and individuals that excel. And this team, you know, we
16:47
Speaker 2: always we always have a wild factor when it comes
16:51
Speaker 2: to Kansas City when it comes to their type of
16:53
Speaker 2: gadget place.
16:54
Speaker 1: But this team takes Gadget Place to a whole new level. Yeah,
16:58
Speaker 1: and they'll do it, do it anytime anywhere there they are.
17:04
Speaker 1: They're they're very They're they're unpredictable, you know, I mean,
17:11
Speaker 1: they're they're a team. If you look in terms of
17:13
Speaker 1: their personnel, you would think they would be a very formulaic,
17:16
Speaker 1: kind of high percentage, do the smart thing kind of offense,
17:20
Speaker 1: and they do most of the time. But because because
17:24
Speaker 1: it's Dan Campbell and the way he approaches things, and
17:27
Speaker 1: especially now with him having a big hand in the
17:29
Speaker 1: play calling, Yeah, they're they're going to hit you with
17:33
Speaker 1: a couple of plays that are going to be like
17:35
Speaker 1: what was that, you know, and they're going to do
17:38
Speaker 1: it at times you don't expect. They're going to do
17:40
Speaker 1: it from places on the field that you don't expect.
17:43
Speaker 1: But for that very reason is why they why they
17:47
Speaker 1: succeed a lot of times. And so yeah, you have
17:49
Speaker 1: to be prepared for all that. I mean, you have
17:51
Speaker 1: to be prepared for the basics. You have to prepare
17:53
Speaker 1: for the fundamental, basic things that they execute well, and
17:57
Speaker 1: they do, but they're also going to throw in a
17:59
Speaker 1: couple of those other plays that from from the back
18:03
Speaker 1: of the playbook that they're just going to dust off
18:05
Speaker 1: and run out there and just take a shot, and
18:08
Speaker 1: they hit a high percentage of them. That's why they
18:10
Speaker 1: were a real challenging team to play. And the other
18:12
Speaker 1: part they play hard. I mean they they you, they
18:17
Speaker 1: come at you the whole time, and and they bring
18:19
Speaker 1: and they bring it for sixty minutes. So this is
18:21
Speaker 1: going to be a game. If the Eagles are going
18:22
Speaker 1: to win this one, they're going to have to play.
18:25
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play really, really good. Because you
18:27
Speaker 1: were mentioning the Packers, you know, the Packers. And I'm
18:31
Speaker 1: not trying to take anything away from what the Eagles
18:33
Speaker 1: defense didn't They great, But the Packers were missing a
18:38
Speaker 1: lot of players in their offense. I mean, they were
18:40
Speaker 1: really short on weapons, especially in the passing game. And
18:44
Speaker 1: that's not going to be the case with Detroit. I mean,
18:46
Speaker 1: Detroit's got all of their guys plus now on the
18:49
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, we haven't even talked about
18:50
Speaker 1: the defense. Is Aiden Hutchinson's back now, and so I
18:54
Speaker 1: mean they're going to be They're strong on both sides
18:57
Speaker 1: of the ball, and like they know what this means.
19:00
Speaker 1: I mean, if they for them to come in here
19:02
Speaker 1: and beat the Eagles in Philly and become the number
19:05
Speaker 1: one seat, which they probably would at that point, this
19:08
Speaker 1: would be a huge statement game for that.
19:11
Speaker 2: You know, here's another defense coming in rugged like Green Bays.
19:15
Speaker 2: They have thirty quarterback sacks and the guy you just mentioned,
19:19
Speaker 2: Aiden Hutchinson has seven of them. They bring they like
19:23
Speaker 2: to play physical football like Green Bay also. So I
19:27
Speaker 2: am so intrigued by seeing this Eagles offensive line that
19:30
Speaker 2: likes them all people when they get it going, and
19:33
Speaker 2: this Detroit defensive front that loves them all people as well.
19:36
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be one of the more intriguing
19:39
Speaker 2: matchups we see with the Philadelphia Eagles and an opponent
19:42
Speaker 2: this season.
19:43
Speaker 1: Yep, I agree. And you know the Eagles have for
19:49
Speaker 1: what it's worth. I mean, it's a short week for them.
19:51
Speaker 1: You know, you played a Monday night game on the road. Yeah,
19:54
Speaker 1: you got to travel back, and yeah, that's one last
19:57
Speaker 1: day you had to prepare for a team that's not
19:59
Speaker 1: easy to prepare for. So yeah, the Eagles have the
20:03
Speaker 1: home field advantage, but they're dealing with a very dangerous opponent.
20:08
Speaker 2: Hey, right before I let you go, you have a
20:10
Speaker 2: big event coming up in a couple of weeks from now.
20:14

22:36
Speaker 1: Let's got a tough game. I haven't picked against the
22:41
Speaker 1: Eagles yet this year, yeah.
22:44
Speaker 2: And.
22:46
Speaker 1: I'm probably not this week. I mean, they're they're tough
22:53
Speaker 1: to beat at home, but I think this is going
22:56
Speaker 1: to be I think it's gonna be a really rough one,
23:00
Speaker 1: and the Lions can score, and they can score fast.
23:02
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't gonna be again. It's not gonna
23:04
Speaker 1: be ten to seven. I'm gonna say Eagles.
23:13
Speaker 2: A man after my own heart because I'm thinking the
23:15
Speaker 2: same thing. If they could barely score seven points at Lambeau.
23:19
Speaker 2: Detroit's tying to give up that much more, although they
23:22
Speaker 2: did give up twenty seven to Minnesota at home. But
23:26
Speaker 2: I don't think the Eagles defense, as good as that
23:29
Speaker 2: defense is, is gonna hold the likes of that Detroit
23:32
Speaker 2: offense to seven points. I'm right there with you, Ray,
23:35
Speaker 2: I'm gonna duplicate it with you. I'm gonna say also,
23:38
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say twenty one to twenty. I was gonna
23:39
Speaker 2: say twenty three to twenty. But the more I think
23:41
Speaker 2: about it, I think the Eagles win is twenty one
23:43
Speaker 2: to twenty, and I think they win it because Detroit
23:46
Speaker 2: is gonna miss a late field goal that cost them
23:49
Speaker 2: the game. This Eagles team has been riding Lady Luck
23:52
Speaker 2: for so long this season. They've played some good, opportunistic football,
23:55
Speaker 2: let's face it, but they've been riding Lady Lucky. I
23:58
Speaker 2: think Lady Luck is gonna shine on them one more time.
24:01
Speaker 1: All right.
24:02
Speaker 2: That's going to wrap up this edition of Birds Weekly,
24:05
Speaker 2: the preview edition, as the Eagles get ready to take
24:08
Speaker 2: on the Detroit Lions come Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field,
24:12
Speaker 2: And of course we will be right back here to
24:13
Speaker 2: talk about it. When that game is all set and done,
24:16
Speaker 2: So next until next time. For my colleague and friend
24:18
Speaker 2: Ray Dinger, I'm Derek Gutt,
