Can Wentz Follow Up His Opening Week Masterpiece?
http://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/

After an impressive 29-10 win for the Philadelphia Eagles over the Cleveland Browns, the Eagles get ready to face the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Chicago is coming off a tough 23-14 loss to the Houston Texans. This is a matchup of two disappointing teams from last year, both teams are attempting to improve this year.

The Eagles secondary will face its first challenge of the year in guarding Alshon Jeffery the Bears star wide receiver. Jeffery scorched the Texans defense for 105 yards and has been a dominant receiver when healthy. The Eagles secondary has struggled since the departure of Brian Dawkins and looks to finally improve under new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. After a dominant showing against the woeful Browns, the Eagles will be tested by Jay Cutler extraordinary arm. Th Bears whose offense was held in check by the Texans will look to use Cutler's abilities to open up a more dynamic passing game. But the Bear's offensive line who has been woeful at protecting their Quarterback will be in for a rough day with Flecther Cox, Connor Barwin, Vinny Curry and Brandon Graham all coming after the Quarterback. It's shaping up to be a long Monday for Jay Cutler unless his line can turn in a better performance than they have for the last couple of years.

The Bear's defense which was solid at Houston will look to try to rattle the Eagle's Rookie Quarterback Carson Wentz. Wentz put the league on notice after playing an almost perfect debut game at the Browns. The Eagles look for pass catchers Jordan Matthews, Nelson Agholor, Zach Ertz, and Dorial Beckham-Green to have another great day and help their rookie Quarterback out. Wentz will also need a better rushing attack than last week and look to Kenjon Barner to have some explosive running plays in the Eagles offense this week. The Bears with no true pass rushers should allow the Eagles offensive line to shine.

Weighing all of these factors I'm expecting an Eagles victory this week possibly in another lopsided game. With the Bears inability to protect Cutler coupled with their struggle to score the ball I;m not sure how the Bears plan to stay in this game with the Eagles. My prediction is Eagles 28-16.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
