Cardinals vs. Eagles; Can the Redbirds Avoid Another East Coast Embarrassment

The Cardinals will play the Eagles on Sunday, in a homecoming for Kevin Kolb, which is sure to have many people saying, can we have DRC back?

While there might be buyers remorse, DRC has not exactly been as advertised for the Eagles either. He’s struggled this season and in addition to having an embarrassing performance this past Monday night he threw in a sideline tantrum typical of a three year old leaving a Toys R Us.

Kevin Kolb is currently questionable to play, but I think that fans of both the Cardinals and the Eagles would enjoy seeing Kolb square off against DRC in the battle of the off season acquisition let downs.

But each day it’s looking more and more like it will be game two for John Skelton, much to the delight of many frustrated fans.

Despite some of the struggles the Eagles have had this season they will most likely come out on top in this one.

The Cardinals again will be on the road, where they have not won since September 12^th, 2010. 

Of course all signs point to a banner day for LeSean McCoy, one of the league’s best rushers, against a Cardinals defense that has given up the most rushing touchdowns in the NFL.

The Eagles, despite their record, are one of the better offensive teams in the NFL this season, ranking in the top ten in both total yards and total points. Their offense should continue to roll against a Cardinals defense that has given up the most yards in the NFL.

To win the Cardinals will need to rely on their offense to match the Eagles. 

In addition to Kevin Kolb having his worst game of the season two weeks ago Beanie wells is coming off his worst game of the year.

Beanie put up a scout-team-replacement-like twenty total rushing yards against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL.

In the end I think it comes down to this game being on the road and LeSean McCoy. It’s not about an overrated Michael Vick or an overrated Eagles defense. 

It’s just an East Coast road game against a team with a great running back, and those are two things that the Cardinals cannot overcome.

In the end Eagle 28, Cardinals 17.
