Oh, what's going on? Philadelphia. Hello, everybody. It is the Go Birds podcast. Yeah,

everybody just got quite a season. It's quite here in Westchester. Honestly, it's worth coming to these.

0:40.0

One of these events just here, a barger do that and see the reaction of everyone around. It is everyone's like it's not Philadelphia. People are like, what is happening right now?

0:51.0

Thanks again, obviously to the folks over at Bud Light who are not only supplying the drinks, but they might be supplying some of the takes as it's been a long day.

1:00.0

So, what are we waiting for? Let's get cracking here, fellas. Welcome on into everybody that's on Periscope. Thank you for tuning in.

And of course, everyone on the podcast, the five star reviews do go a long way whether you're on Stitcher or ApplepodsRadio.com, Google Play, Spotify, all of it.

1:19.0

John Barger, James Celts, Elliott Shore, Parks, we have got some Vikings action. We're going back to the scene of the crime in 2017. They came here and you know said, hey, don't forget about us and all that.

1:32.0

And Eagles really shot themselves in the foot a lot with turnovers and things last year. But fellas, this year I, I, I've looked at a lot of Vikings tape.

1:40.0

I, I've seen Kirk cousins. Everybody seems to be scared of them. They keep throwing out this. Always fervent three against the Eagles. Type of crap. Listen, Kirk cousins is still the same guy.

1:51.0

Still the exact same guy that, I mean, he's $84 million, Richard. Excuse me, Kirk coupons. My mistake because the caviar has soiled and he is, listen, he's not bad, but he's not good either.

2:03.0

And if you're trying to ramp yourself up this week and feeling like, oh, I don't know, it's Minnesota. And look what, look what he did against the Giants with the cleanest pocket I've ever seen in my life throwing 300 yards to Adam Thielin, who definitely hates him.

2:18.0

It's the fond dig. It's hates him too. I love this match up. I'm not scared and I'm so not scared that I think they're going to blow them out. I think this is a hello. We are back. This is all all your hopes and dreams are, you know, just kind of just kind of back in the forefront here.

2:38.0

I love this match up for not only that reason, but I think the Eagles defensive line gets to him too. And I don't know why I just feel I feel really good. No, I do know why. What am I talking about? I know exactly why because this this offensive line is not that good and Kirk cousins is not that good. So I think the Eagles are going to demolish him.

2:56.0

Yeah, I mean, I couldn't disagree with you. Yeah, what else is?

3:03.0

So this whole idea that they can't lose to Kirk cousins is silly. Kirk cousins has a quarterback rating of over a hundred in his career. I know you don't I like

3:14.9

want to be win lost record, but even take that aside, he has a QB rating of over a hundred versus Eagles in his career. He has a higher quarterback rating in his career than Carson Wentz does. So this idea that like, of course, I mean, Kirk cousins can throw the Vikings to a victory on Sunday, especially against the Seagulls defense. I know you said if they don't have a clean pocket, the Eagles have only given one quarterback not a clean pocket this year, and that was last year against the Jets. Aaron Rogers had a clean pocket, Matt Ryan had a clean pocket, Matthew Stafford had a clean pocket. Now the Vikings offensive line isn't as bad as the Jets.

3:44.9

But it's it's pretty bad like it's it's very bad. So there's a chance. But if Kirk cousins has any time at all, then he will I mean, like they will lose to the Vikings. Kirk, Kirk cousins blows. He just blows like James. He is not a look. I get what you're saying. And I'm not saying they can't lose to Kirk cousins, but I think the Eagles are just a better football team than the Vikings. I think they have a better head coach, which I feel very strongly about going into this matchup. I think Doug gets a big advantage over Zimmer.

4:14.9

And I'm sorry, like comparing Kirk cousins to Carson Wentz is like, heresy. It's an outrageous. Carson Wentz is light years better than Kirk cousins. He has displayed a skill said that Kirk cousins couldn't even dream of. So and look, look, Carson Wentz has again, I think that we have not done enough and given enough credit to what Carson Wentz has done this season. It's not just about the stats. It's not about the completion percentage. It's about the fact that he is dealt with a ton of injuries.

4:44.9

To his skill position players and it's found a way to not turn the ball over only two turnovers, both in that Atlantic game where he lost his entire team around him. Only two turnovers of the season. And he has been outstanding on third down.

4:58.1

Kirk Carson Wentz is doing exactly what everyone wanted him to do. They wanted him to be Nick Foles like manage the offense, make the smart throws. He's been doing that. And I think they're heading into Minnesota.
