    After spending yesterday talking up his Eagles and the refs that are suspiciously friendly in Philadelphia Stitched Wes Horton Jersey , Brandon Gowton of Bleeding Green Nation was kind enough to come back and discuss his fears for this game. Below are the three reason why he thinks the Eagles could lose to the Panthers in Week 7. You can check out why I think the Panthers will lose over on his site.1. The Eagles are banged up at offensive tackle. Starting left tackle Jason Peters is playing through a torn biceps injury in addition to a nagging quadriceps issue. The 36-year-old has struggled to protect Carson Wentz’s blindside at times as he fights through the pain. Then there’s starting right tackle Lane Johnson, who is playing through a high ankle sprain. Johnson wasn’t able to practice on Wednesday and was limited in Thursday’s practice. He’ll likely play but his effectiveness is limited to some extent. Johnson has already allowed Wentz to get strip-sacked twice this year. Wentz has played very well this season, but he can be contained if the Panthers are able to generate a lot of pressure on him.2. Cam Newton’s mobility could prove troublesome for Philadelphia’s defense. The Eagles have had some issues with defending mobile quarterbacks under Jim Schwartz. Newton’s threat to run could be especially tough to stop in the red zone. That’s an area where it’s critical for the Eagles to be good because they’re prone to bending but not breaking. Philadelphia’s boasts the number one red zone defense in the NFL by allowing just a 34.78% conversion rate. In order to main that success Youth J.J. Jansen Jersey , they’ll have to find a way to limit Newton on the ground. That’s easier said than done because Newton is often just going to get his. 3. The Panthers are a resilient team. They haven’t lost back-to-back games since Week 7 last year. Since the Cam Newton era began in 2011, Carolina is 28-17-1 against the spread (22-24 straight up) in games right after a loss. That’s the fifth best rate in the NFL. In addition, the Panthers are 21-14-0 against the spread (14-20-1 straight up) as road underdogs since 2011 Stitched J.J. Jansen Jersey , which is the fourth best rate in the NFL. Josh Dobbs’s impressive preseason ended up costing Landry Jones his job.The Pittsburgh Steelers chose to keep Dobbs and rookie Mason Rudolph as the primary backup quarterbacks behind Ben Roethlisberger when they pared the roster to 53 on Saturday. The decision left Jones, a six-year veteran, as the surprising odd man out.Dobbs made significant strides in his second training camp and ended the preseason by throwing for a touchdown and running for another in a victory over Carolina. He completed 67 percent of his passes while playing in three of Pittsburgh’s four exhibition games and led the team in yards passing (434) Youth Mario Addison Jersey , touchdowns (four) and quarterback rating (111.9).Dobbs said afterward he wanted to continue his career with the Steelers but understood the business side of the game. The Steelers spent a third-round pick on Rudolph last spring and Jones played capably if not spectacularly while filling in for Roethlisberger over the last three seasons. The former Oklahoma star went 3-2 as a starter, with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.Jones said before for the preseason finale he felt he was in a good position but added, “If they can cut Peyton Manning Stitched Mario Addison Jersey , they can cut anybody.”Now Jones finds himself looking for work. As a vested veteran, Jones does not have to clear waivers and can sign with another team immediately. Meanwhile the Steelers enter the season with two backups behind the 36-year-old Roethlisberger who have yet to throw a pass in the regular season, a bit of a risk for a team with Super Bowl expectations.Other notable cuts included running back Fitzgerald Toussaint Youth Cameron Artis-Payne Jersey , cornerback Brian Allen and linebackers Keion Adams and Farrington Hugenin.Pittsburgh did keep a pair of undrafted rookie free agent linebackers in Matthew Thomas and Ola Adeniyi. Thomas ended camp with a spectacular sequence against the Panthers in which he strip-sacked Carolina quarterback Kyle Allen, recovered the fumble and raced 75 yards before being taken down just shy of the goal line.The Steelers open the season in Cleveland on Sept. 9.
