Please y'all, don't count Philthy out. Pederson is good. They're in our division and the only challenge to us right now and made it just as far in the playoffs as we did. Until we beat them .... twice, decisively ... they are still my #1 opponent. I know they have been looking like something that fell out of the south end of a northbound cow. I want to see them burn!

LAR are definitely a challenge ... have beaten us twice in a row. They are next on my list. Really good coach in Sean McVay...innovative.

Seattle next. We barely beat them last year and RW scares me ... he's good ! Pete Carroll is good too (although I despise his twerpy arse).

Naturally NO is going to be a challenge when Brees returns if they can make the PO's.

I'd rank GB on par with them (NO). Their O has not looked scary but their D is better. Good OL that will continue to be allowed to hold as they are one of the darling teams of the NFL. AR is good ... I despise him immensely. He needs his arse beaten ... down ... hard.

The rest are all also mentioned. Any one of which are a challenge to us and can beat us easily. I'll list them in order: Minny, Atlanta, SF, Chitown.

Minny is dangerous. Matty Ryan is inconsistent as heck (Philthy should have neat them). SF is coming on. Jimmah G is an unknown to me. Chicago ... Trubisky is not very good so far.

Aaron Rodgers, mr. Hail Mary. Media Loverboy. I think people give him way too much credit I remember when he first came into the league. I never saw a major step up from what he was in the beginning. And now he's just a crybaby throws everybody under the bus.
But he beat us when it counted. And he has a Super Bowl ring.

Agree about Philly. If Wentz gets knocked out for the season though they are done.

I don't think we have enough games played at this point to determine who the real players are.

Injuries are showing up early to affect teams and there are more to come and we do not know how the temporary loss of Gallup, Crawford or Woods will affect us.

I also think many of us, including myself, expect this D to improve. Whether that's Quinn playing or Gregory getting reinstated or just more playing time = better D but the fact is the Cowboys have not been playing good offenses.

The bottom line after two weeks is that there is no bottom line. Have we not seen teams start the season one way and end it differently? Our own team last year? I am not getting carried away at this point, way too many games left and still many questions about this team.

I had the Cowboys at 5th in the NFC to start the season and now they are at 2nd but that is based solely off the play of the offense. I know LA is for real but behind them looks to be a log jam including DAL.

its way early IMO.. you dont just count wins and add yourself to list after beating two bad teams and not yet even into the harder part of the schedule.

so its jumping ahead..its Koolaid fandom goggles being looked through, like ive said before the Fans are so fickle either at the doom and gloom spectrum or way to high of hopes.. temperament chill relax let this play out..

im staying in the middle until further notice

Cool. You can believe we are the worst team in the NFL. I could care less. Most Eagle fans still believe that. I've watched most teams this season. We are the 2nd best team in the NFC right now. Not unrealistic thinking at all.

Too early to start figuring out who is a threat. Sure you can argue we are playing top 3 football right now in the NFC (maybe the best) but things can change from week to week. I wouldn't write off the Eagles at this point. The Saints? They have some rough games coming up and while I like Bridgewater, will he be able to get up to speed in time? They are in Seattle this weekend, have us in NO, have to go to Chicago. But they also get the Jags, Cardinals and Bucs, which are winnable games. Steal one of the big games against Seattle or us or Chicago and they could be 4-2 in that stretch with Brees coming back possibly.

wow really WORSE I never said that but not the best either.. we havent played anyone and too many games left to start ranking anyone..

Im saying we have NOT PLAYED ANYONE 2 games in to start acting as if we are better then the other top teams..

I predict the Cowboys and Packers roll into their Week 5 matchup both 4-0.

It won’t be quite like the 2007 game where the 11-1 Cowboys met the 11-1 Packers in what felt like an epic game, but it will be about as good of a matchup as the NFL can hope for between 2 NFL powerhouse franchises. I am sure it will be the most highly rated game of the season up to that point.

I may wind up tasting my shoe on this, but I wouldn't look over Atlanta just yet. So long as Melted Ice has Julio to throw to, their no pushovers. Just my $.02

I think Philly beats the Pack.

The hype here is high right now and it will be higher following the bye this Sunday. At least by the time we play the Rams we'll know for sure where each team stands. Both teams could still be trying to win their respective divisions.

If Niners and S'Hawks are improved maybe they can help dirty up the Rams in that division, hit on their W-L record. I'd hate to see the Rams go 14-2.

I’d move 49ers ahead of saints at this point.


1. L.A. Rams 2-0
They look like Defending NFC champs and are most likely our biggest threat.
Rams concerns: Goff isn't a top five QB. Some questions about o-line. Is Gurley in decline? Still, lots of weapons on O. Well coached. Aaron Darnold leads tough, under-rated D.

2. Green Bay Packers 2-0
Defense had major off-season overhaul and looks good. Aaron Jones looks stout at RB...and of course they have Aaron Rogers

3 Philadelphia Eagles 1-1
Talented roster. They have a better front 7 than we do, but Philly secondary is much inferior to ours. Wentz will be great at times, but I don't believe the team has strong conviction to play with him. Does Wentz believe in himself? Highly touted o-line didn't play well in Game 2.

4. N.O. Saints 1-1
Brees out 4-7 weeks, and not at a good time. They play next in Seattle, at home against us, and in Chicago. Could soon be sitting 1-4.

5. Seattle Seahawks 2-0
Don't beat themselves. Best home field advantage in league. Wilson is superior deep ball thrower. Solid roster that is well coached. Buttoned up.

6. SF 49ers 2-0
I'm tempted to rank them higher. Better than people know. Their tight end Kittle is the best in NFL. Jimmy G might be pretty good. Defense is improving.

7. Chicago Bears 1-1. Refs totally gave the Bears a win in week 2. Best NFL defense, but Trubisky is awful.

8. Vikings 1-1. Strong D. Top 5 running back. Good home field advantage. Nice receivers. But Cousins at helm. Also: Xavier Rhodes not the same player anymore.

Others: Falcons, Panthers, Bucs
No chance: Skins, Giants, Cards

This isn't about your feelings.
Has nothing to do with my feelings you're correct it has to do with my analysis. He's a crybaby LMAO and he throws his players under the bus. This is about his feelings. You're absolutely correct
