Eagles are the Class of the Div!

[Risen Star]

It's an idiotic debate because the Eagles took Wentz 2nd overall.

It's not like we passed on Wentz to draft Dak.

Get over it.

Yes we did. We allowed the Eagles to move ahead of us and steal him. Instead we dumpster dived for a Prescott. A decision that will doom this franchise.

We're now in the well he wasn't available stage of acceptance. Right on schedule.

I have seen him this year against the Skins look goofy and look like anything but an athelete when running or scrambling. He will heave the ball just to avoid a sack, and that day threw some ugly passes. He is better than last year, but not any better than Dak, IMHO. Their D is much better than ours. That is the biggest difference right now between the two teams.

I'd settle for an average defense about now. Just can't win anything big with a defense like ours.

What will be said when the team comes off a bye and we see the same thing?.....D giving up chunks, an unknown or unaccomplished lighting us up, predictable and mind-boggling play calling, and a lead evaporating before our eyes?

Well we'll be seeing more tank the season threads. lol

lol. ***, dude. the eagles played two 0-4 teams back-to-back by 6 total points. we have 11 games to catch them, and dak played great yesterday.

LOL. Such wishful thinking.

They are much better on defense which gives them a sizable advantage. Frankly, they have a doofus for a head coach like us but the defense alone is a big advantage.

That being said, switch Wentz and Prescott and we are still in the same boat. Wentz isn't what gives the Eagles the edge. It's the fact that they have a much better defense and special teams than we do.

C-o-B.

I realize there are many that wanted Wentz to suck (understandably so)...but this is the sort of stuff that makes even those who are extremely biased against him open their eyes a bit. That's impressive stuff.

It's all 3 actually...they are a very well-rounded team.

Dude. Shut up.

Move on with your lame shtick.

No one even cared about Wentz who wasn't even highly rated until the year of the draft. Most NFL scouts thought the QB stock in the draft was weak that year.

 

[Sydla]

The best part about this?

Wentz will shred the crap out of us on 3rd downs because Marinelli will go with his patented 3 man rush defense.

It's gonna be AWESOME!

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I mean how can you win when your offense has to be perfect and score on every series because you know your defense can't stop anything?

 

[StarOfGlory]

Wentz’s long passes aren’t effortless.

Up until yesterday his deep passes were struggling mightily. Last year and the first few games, his deep passes were consistently off target. They seem to be improving. Hopefully Dak’s do the same.

I think he means in terms of arm strength, not accuracy. In that Chiefs game he threw two passes on the run, running to his left that went 60 yards in the air. I can't deny that he has some serious oomph in that arm. He does seem to set himself better than last year, though he still rifles the ball at times when he shouldn't. He still needs to improve on his short throw accuracy. But even Rodgers missed a wide open Nelson on that 2-pt conversion attempt yesterday. Nobody's perfect.

 

[cowboy_ron]

They are 4 - 1 and look good doing it. This forum had Wentz as a poor to a non-starter last year, what do you think now!! Yes, Wentz and Goff took a beating last year, but they gained experience on how to play QB. When compared to Dak, Wentz can set his feet and throw into tight windows. Dak is not setting his feet and throws in awkward positions. At present I think that the Cowboys will be the third position team in the div behind the Eagles and Washington, in that order. If you disagree, show your evidence to the contrary.

The eagles and "class" do not belong in the same sentence.

If you are Eagles fans...please post in the NFL section of the forum.

 

[cowboy_ron]

President of the Wentz Fan Club chimes in

Yesterday's win was their 1st win of the season against a team that didn't have a winless record.

Wentz does look like he'll be a good QB but if he keeps sliding head first his career will be cut short.

You are football saved.

On this topic, you are a ridiculous individual.

If you want to sob quietly into your pillow every night that we didn't trade for the first overall pick, that's fine. But I sure wish you'd quit your bellyaching on the forum about it, because it's ridiculous and pointless.

I didn't need to be saved...I don't judge players based on how much I want them to suck.

Ridiculously right, yes. Guilty as charged.

We chose to let hm go to the Eagles. So you are wrong. Again.

Neither do I.

Neither do I.

Many here do. They don't realize good, even great, players exist on rival teams.
