Gotta share from Philly

So I live in the Philly area and have to deal with all the Philly homers in person and on the radio. According the them, the Eagles are the best team and it's not even close. Even though we won the division last year and are arguably a better team with a full year of Cooper and Frederick back at center, not to mention the acquistion of another pass rushing stud and Vander Esch with another year under his belt. I agree that Philly did some nice things in the offseason including adding Desean Jackson and Malik Jackson. But they also lost their best pass rusher in Michael Bennett, Brandon Graham is overpaid and a year older and lost their Nick Foles safety net.
Philly fans will give the Cowboys no credit. Their first words are "Dallas Sucks." Someone put on Facebook that Zeke is demanding a trade to the Eagles because they have a better chance at winning a Super Bowl. Not that this is true but it got them all riled up. 90% of them said that they wouldn't want him because he's a bad guy or he's overrated. I just have to laugh. Guaranteed if he ever were to go there, he would be revered and stick in our faces how they stole him and are the better team because they have him and we don't. It's really comical. The other day on the radio the hosts were saying everyone in the division has tough questions except for the Birds. Dallas's question is whether or not Zeke will be there this year. Of course he will, it may take some time but he will play football this year for the Cowboys. That was the best they had. We are a worse team because of that question. I'd say the Iggles have a tough question in who is gonna rush the passer this year now that Bennett is gone?
What say you?

I’d say you are taking the viewpoint from the homer segment of the Eagles fan base and making it sound as if that is the opinion of all of them.

From an overall talent perspective, the Eagles are in the group of teams that should be considered as contenders. Same goes for the Cowboys.

I think you yourself are sounding a bit homerish if you think the Eagles pass rush is a question because we lost a one year rental in Bennett.

As long as they have Fletcher Cox, who makes surrounding players better, Eagles will have a very good pass rush.

I am just saying that Eagle fans do not give Dallas credit at all. And that they do have questions marks as well as every other team. That is all

I saw this about an hour ago, happy you brought it up. I can’t look at this without laughing. Those guards are thinking, “I’m contributing!!!”

Cowboys fans said the same thing when Quincy was here. We have no room to make fun.

We can't help being "homers". I am proud to be a homer. The eagles and Boys have been battling it out since I can remember. There is nothing like a division rival. It's going to be a dogfight and I believe the Cowboys have the better team. We should sweep the division this year if we stay healthy. Sorry but Cowboy homerism abounds in my house.

And I agree that the Eagles should be considered as contenders. But so should Dallas

I think they can make an argument. Lots of people think they have the best roster in football. But we can make an argument too.

We don't have to settle it now. (We'd just be guessing anyway.) It'll be settled soon enough on the field.

I passed through the Philly Airport sometime after they won the Super Bowl.

There was a manikin with a T-Shirt that said "Cowboys Suck" prominently displayed at the front of the Sports apparel shop.

It was more prominently displayed than any Eagles appeal.

A better question is what will they do when Wentz gets hurt again?

What are you basing that one? History? Shear probability? Okay, I can play that game.

Last 5 times the Eagles lost their starting QB to longterm injury:

2018: 9-7 made playoffs, won a playoff game
2017: 13-3 Won NFC east, Won Super Bowl
2014: 10-6 missed playoffs on tiebreaker
2013: 10-6 Won NFC East, made playoffs
2010: 10-6 won NFC East, made playoffs


You say we better pray he stays healthy? YOU better pray he stays healthy.
