This year we are the hunted.

Its as simple as that.

After going 13-3 last year..

the entire league is going to be up to playing us like an all day sucker.

I do not know if Garrett is properly prepared to handle it.

Nor the team.

They have never had to perform under that pressure.

Makes you admire the Patriots all the more.

Definitely not sneaking up on anyone this year, and the Zeke suspension saga isn't helping matters.

But there are still 14 games left on the schedule. Professionals need to get results. We'll see.

The defense needs time. Its stupid to play this season like you are going to make some noise when you had to revamp the defense and you dont know whats there. We should also remove teh best Oline in the NFL as well. The defense is going to need , was going to need 8 games. Regardless what we do record wise the defense needs to play and make its mistakes.

We had to start over and we still screwed it up by not bringing in a new coach and staff. Young team new coaching crew.

The eagles are looking better with Doug, and we are missing the boat yet again.

Last year after 2 games we were 1-1. This year after 2 games we are 1-1. The only thing that's changed is the reaction from the fans. They doing their best rendition of chicken little today.

What? Doug?
I live in the philly market and all the talk the last 2 weeks are about Mim Schwartz working to get Doug fired so he can take the team over.

Doug is on thin ice in philly.

Denver is very good and they are really damn good at home.

Its a loss to a non conference opponent who will most likely beat the other nfc east opponents also.

In a month this game won't matter at all.

Ok, i dont care, and maybe im wrong maybe Garrett gets it together. Who knows, but right now, the Eagles might have lost, but they made a game of it to the end. We started losing and rolled the dice on losing. I want the SOB who fights to the end.

We'll be back to hunting after the Arizona game. Cowboys have never snuck up on anyone. Media won't allow it!

Every player in this league hates us for all the attention we get from the media.

This was the first game in the DAK/Zeke era where this team didn't"t really fight back.

This team appears not as committed as last year.

Their standards and goals appear different.

TIME WILL TELL.

yes and Garrett might get it under control, i am not the biggest Garrett supporter but he is not without his strengths and i can wait to see what surfaces. Easier to beat on the guy but he does do some things really well.

Assuming if we come out and do our job against Arizona I won't be too concerned. We've got to beat them and the Rams and hope we at least have a better showing against Green Bay than we did against Denver. Then if we beat San Fran and go to Washington 4-2 I don't think we'll be in a bad position. Schedule is brutal though, we've got to win some games against tough teams if we don't want to go 8-8 or worse.

this is not the same team. Some people should take note of this. When you lose Veteran Leaders who had the sweat equity of learning how to win and how to handle playing on the road like Doug Free, Ron Leary, Tony Romo, Barry Church, Brandon Carr, JJ Wilcox etc. that means something.

Everyone celebrates around here because some internet bloggers/scouts make meme's and gifs of doug free and other being gone but the reality is those guys knew how to handle yesterdays types of situations. This is a different younger team with no experience of this kind. How they respond will be interesting this week.

I wish we played Green Bay this week. We have to take care of business each week, but even if we beat Arizona and LA, only beating the Packers will totally rinse my brain of this beating.

Last year we started the season 1-1 too. Things get easier on offense now, since we play lesser defenses rest of the way (other than NYG rematch and SEA at year end).

Last year, we were the runners, this year we are the passers. NE is the passer every game, they know their identity. We don't!
