Ultimate frustration is the only possible result unless MLF has already implemented major change in offensive strategy. 11 personnel and we're cooked! Start 5 O linemen, #8 at RB, and any TE on the roster? We have no chance in any game this season.
6 O linemen, #0 9 & 87 at WR and either 4 WRs or Chris Brooks as our pass blocking RB and this offense has a fighting chance. That would require MLF to have realized change this drastic was necessary almost as soon as #85 got hurt, certainly before Monday morning. Typically adjusting is MLF's weakness and I'm not sure he ever figures this out.
With that personnel you're letting Love cook. Once that's established as working you can bring in #8 on first or second down as long as you throw to him first. From there, maybe they respect the pass enough to open up some opportunity to run, and restore some balance to this offense that way. GB has got to become a pass first team NOW. Not just against the Iggles, against anybody!
On defense I'm not sure any real change in strategy is needed? It'll be nice whenever we might get LVN back but this is still at least a good defense.

Agreed, attack relentlessly. The same goes for Hafley; shoot from all angles, create confusion and strip the ball. Double up Brown, take your chances with Smith. Will the LBs plug the gaps vs the run, or wait for an O lineman to pick them off?

I'm afraid the Eagles are going to pound GB on the ground. The D will have a hard time getting off the field. The offense? Who knows?
