Eagles sports talk radio

[TheCoolFan]

Eagles fans know this is their year in the NFC East rotation to win the division.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

would they be the favorite to beat SF?

At home, with this year’s roster? Yeah I would think so. Though Trey Lance is now the wild card

Eagle sports talk radio host on 94 WIP just said Tyron Smith injury is delightful news.. Always class in Philadelphia. Remember this when their stud goes down.

Please. You think nobody in this forum would react that way if one of the Eagles got injured?

Great QB overcome......I have no fear that Mr.Brady can still ball out there even with all those injuries.

Of course. He throws 5-10 yarders better than anyone. Dak can't even throw a simple screen out to the RB.

On the flip side, Dallas lost its pro bowl QB in 2020 and the season was a mess. And now they lost their all-pro caliber LT. In 2017 Philadelphia lost both their All-Pro LT AND their Pro Bowl QB and still won the Super Bowl.

So as bad as this seems today, the sky is not falling. Lots of thing can happen between now and week 18.

True but the Cowboys lost some guys in 2020 and fell apart. The Cowboys depth hasn't been great.

we put up almost 100 on the eagles last season

idc what they say

Why? Should we lower ourselves to Philly's standard? You want us to also start throwing batteries at Santa Claus or cheer when Eagles players are lying on the field hurt?

How many threads now have we had about Bucs players getting hurt or Tom Brady missing some days of TC?

Read through those threads and you'll see many posters happy as can be to think our road might be a little easier.

There's a difference in not feeling sorry that a team loses a player (since we've had to deal with that same adversity, and are again now) and being happy about it. I haven't seen very many, if any, fans calling the Bucs' injuries delightful, but maybe I tend to not pay attention to fans who would do that.

It's best to not pay attention to fans that root for injuries.

This year’s Eagles 100% would have beaten last year’s SF. We played them last year and lost 17-11. AJ Brown, Haason Reddick, Jordan Davis, James Bradberry couldn’t have compensated for 6 points?

It's nice to see that other teams' fans are just as delusional as ours. Your team has definitely tried to get better, but we'll see how that works out.

What is with this sudden hallowing of SF’s playoff run? They were the last team to qualify for the playoffs. Think of every little thing that had to happen for Dallas to lose that game. 14 unsightly penalties. If Randy Gregory doesn’t bodyslam the Olineman on third down, you win that game. Erase 1-2 of whatever the hell La’el Collins was doing and you win that game. The offense didn’t show up until 1.5 quarters left, and then they went gangbusters. This is a story we’ve seen before with Dak, but by all accounts it shouldn’t have happened. Dallas has maybe the least advantageous home field advantage in football. This has been the case ever since Jerry’s World had opened, and there are a myriad of reasons to explain it. And last but not least, the bizarre ending to the game. Not just the ref, not just Dak running too far, not just the call with 14 seconds left… everything.

It took a perfect storm of weirdly under preparedness from Dallas for SF to squeak that one out. Everyone on this board knew at the end Dallas should have won if they put their pants on correctly that morning. If anything didn’t go horribly wrong, then SF is one and done and we’re having a completely different conversation (nevermind Rodgers having the worst playoff game of his career the next week).

Realistically, SF is arguably the worst conference title game team since… 2014 Colts who had a similar luck of opponent gaffes to get there.

So could a 7 seed who added a pro bowl WR, a pro bowl CB, a pro bowl Pass rusher, and a much deeper defensive line possibly beat a 6 seed if it’s Philadelphia in January? Delusional? Not at all.

 

[America's Cowboy]

What are you listening to them for anyways?

Celebrating injuries for the Cowboys or Cowboys fans celebrating injuries for others is weak.

Quit defending your real team!

PS: Go back to them!!!

Yes, it's delusional to think a team that got manhandled by the Bucs could beat a team that won two playoff games until they show that all this talent is actually making them better. Washington spent years buying up as much talent as it could find and that did not make it a better team.

Now, I'm not saying that San Fran is going to be even as good as it was last year. But until Dallas and Philly prove differently, they were just the best teams in a weak division. As Parcells said, you are what you are, so delusion is believing either of our teams are anything more than they have been until they show differently. Right now, the East winner, whoever that will be, is just a playoff patsy.

It doesn't work like that and you know it.

Our weakness was high flying offenses, we played everyone else well. That was not SF’s game.

If you had even 2 fewer penalties, you’d win and the narrative would be “If we actually played a clean game, we would have beat them by 30! Why were we afraid of SF? Philthy could have even won a game like that!”

But since you hit 14 penalties, it suddenly changes the story of both of your teams where Dallas couldnt have won and SF was something more than a 10-7 6th seed.

It doesn’t if you don’t want it to

Your team had one victory over a team that finished with a winning record last year. No reason to get puffed up about how they played. Ours didn't do a whole lot better. We both had very few wins against winning teams to get to the playoffs, so we both had a ways to go to become an actual contender. Maybe your team did enough to close that gap, but there's no reason to believe it until we see it. San Fran was better than both of our teams. Penalties are part of the game whether we agree with all of them or not.

That penalty thing is lip service. Dallas has the ability to prevent them, even if they’ve struggled all year in that department.

But for your other point, if the 2021 eagles played SF in that game they likely lose. But the 2022 eagles….

We have no idea how the 2022 Eagles will play. That's the point. Until we do, you're delusional to think this season will turn out any differently than last season.

Trust me, this comes from a Cowboys fan who has spent many years being delusional about his team. I mean, at least you have a fairly recent Super Bowl to base your delusion on, but that was a different coach and different team.
