as per a Eagles fan board. Below is one of a few similar quotes:
"Sucks that all the teams went 1-0 today. Puts a little bit more pressure on the eagles to keep up with the pace on Monday.
But at least we now know what to expect in the division
1) Deadskins
O still suxx. Defense will be top 5 again and turn their games into low scoring slugfests.
2) Giants: Looked better then I thought they would. Running game looks good, with the combo of Barber and Brandon Jacobs (who is contributing right away). O-line looks much improved from last year. Eli still pulled out the Eli Manning face a few times, but Burress bailed him out a few times. I'm going to reserve judgement on the Defense until I see them play a good offense (I don't trust Warner).
Is Shockey's ankle going to be a problem? Lets wait and see.
3) Dallas: For all my hatred of Dallas, I have to give them their due for taking care of business against San Diego on the road (san diego has to be kicking themselves for sitting Gates). Bledsloe looked better then I thought he would, but I would like to see how he does against a defense that gets after him a little more.
Looks like the division will be a more competitive this year. But on paper the eagles are also an improved team (IMO). It will be interesting to see if we can go 6-0 within the division again"
Not bad!
