Those are the kinds of tight, tough games where your QB needs to have great situational awareness, be careful with the football and know where/when the smallest of holes will open up for them.

Against those caliber defenses, you're not going to score 28 so you have to know how to get to 17 intelligently and without doing anything to make it harder on your defense in the process.

Foles is going to have better games against bad defenses than Smith would because those are in his wheelhouse. If he has time and there is a lot of space to work with, he'll attack (as is his preference) and he'll shred teams. But if the time and space isn't there....he's going to attack anyway and get us burned pretty badly. And having less mobility than Smith will hurt us as well.
