The eagles will have to do it on their own. Yes, we appreciate that, washington. With the eagles in seattle, what will they need to do to stop Russell Wilson . laughing surround him with about 14 people. But hes tough. Hes tough to stop. He really is. He not only goes side to side but he scrambles, but goes backward annex tends plays. Hes tough. But theyre playing great defense, and theyre going to have to be disciplined. They stay in their lanes. They just dont let him escape the eagles went to see seattle last year, lost 2615. How much did seattles 12th man plan a role in that lost last year, and how prepared do you think carson wentz is to deal with it snow. You know, im going to be honest with you. I dont think that 12th man played a role in it at all. Carson wentz was very, very poised. He used the silent cap of the eagles, made too much mistakes in that game. They stayed in it for awhile. But his is much better team. This is much better eagles team. Carson wentz, second year quarterback, but playing like somebody who has been around for ten years. Seahawks team thats depleted in the secondary. Dont forget richard sherman, cam, both out for the season. So i think the eagles can go up there and play good football and come away with the nfc east.
