Let's Talk About The Eagles

[CowboyRoy]

I believe the "comparable to Dallas" was referring only to the offensive line.

Then I take it back.

Honestly...laziness was the reason. But you are not the first person to ask so I’ve finally changed it.

I wasn't complaining, just curious. Although I'm glad you changed it - I abhor the goofy Rowdy. I took my grandson to his first game when he was 5 and he was terrified of him. Not sure what possessed Hog Jowels to go with him a mascot.

I'm surprised he's allowed within 100 yards from any place where children congregate.

They won’t win 13 games again. But they have to be the clear favorite in the NFCE.

I do not believe they will make it back to the SB. I think Minnesota, with Cousins and that defense and a healthy Cook back are the best team in the NFC.

Obviously when asked to bet on a single team, vs betting the field as to who goes to the SB, the field offers better odds. Because of that the Eagles probably wont get back to the SB...that said I like their odds vs any other single NFC team of making it back to the SB.

the Rams are the biggest obstacle. Folks point to the dream team as an example of 'buying' success not working in the NFL....but remember that that offseason there were no OTAs and a reduced training camp...that just killed any team with a lot of turnover. No such issues this year...i view the Rams as our biggest challenger.

Bet365 has the Cowboys as 3:1 to win the NFC Championship and the Eagles at 13:2. That should tell you something right there.

Eagles are an above average team but probably the worst Super Bowl team so far this decade. They’ll be in the mix this year and the division won’t be decided until the final week.

After this year their cap situation blows up and they’ll be having a fire sale in Philly.

crap meet steaming pile

1, While it may hair lips the governor, I preferred the Eagles to win the Super Bowl over the patriots. They have had enough success for me. I am also not threatened by the Eagles winning.

However having said that, if you think they are one and done, it may be so. But Wentz will not be the reason they don't repeat. An unbiased look at Wentz should tell you this guy is for reals.

2. I think they win the East. Injuries discount this OPINION.

yea they will never be as lucky as they were last year injury wise...

 

[Fwed]

Ben McAdoo started spouting off that they won't be able to deal with their success.

I kind of believe the muppet. They nailed things last year, but they will be targeted and they also won't have the underdog factor in their favor.

hey, anything is possible but essentially BenM is questioning the intangibles of the locker room...and that was outstanding last year, and i've seen nothing so far to indicate it wont be great again.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

LOL........comparable to Dallas? Are you in la la land? LOL

Dallas has the horrid Garrett and a lame DL and defense while Philly has a great Defense and amazing coaching.

I was talking about the offensive line.

I believe the "comparable to Dallas" was referring only to the offensive line.

Yep.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Then I take it back.

Well dang Roy, you sure have a way of jumping the gun a bit too early, don't ya? Lol.

 

[Fwed]

Ah, so you're one of those fans, ey?

lol, someone who recognizes what the Pats are and doesnt stick his head in the sand over it? keep drinking the RogerG/NFL flavored kool aid...but i guess they deleted all of the evidence because their hard drive was running out of space

 

[Fwed]

Keep in mind last year the Giants were abysmal. The year before they were like 12 and 4. So good teams can fall off the face of the earth.

I don't think the Eagles will have the good fortune this year that they had last year. They won a lot of close games last year that they could easily have lost.

they went 0-6 in close games in 2016. that was one of the best 7 win teams ever. They were one of the most injured SB winners ever...and key injuries..LT, QB...

What the **** are you talking about?

 

[Fwed]

Doubtful on keeping players past this year.

They are way over the CAP next year already without their rookie signings from the draft next year.
They need to trade Foles to help them a little. Wentz is coming up soon for a contract.
You can't keep pushing money forward.
We did it with bad results.

good grief. no, they wont lose players they want to keep. load up overthecap calculator and play for a while if you doubt it.

 

[Fwed]

What the **** are you talking about?

Patriots are the Cheatriots. It sounded like you might of been giving them a pass with your comment.

 

[Fwed]

Or they just got lucky lol. I see it on defense....they have a very good defense with youth. I see it with Wentz......outside of that? I just don't see it. Even the Peterson hiring.....Eagirls fans wanted hi! Fired and never hired now he's Lombardi.

absolutely true about Pederson. but he improved so much between year 1 and 2...was amazing to watch really.

Patriots are heralded and led by the greatest coach of all time and greatest QB of all time. "Cheatriot" is a cop out for salty fans who cant accept their greatness, or the PURE DOMINANCE of Belichick.

It's easier and cozier to brush him off as a cheater. That's fine. And pathetic.

or...their coach/QB being heralded is a product of cheating. people tend to spout that greatness stuff without realizing that perhaps Belicheck would of one zero SBs with the Patriots and been fired by now had he not cheated.
Each of his first three SBs were won by a FG or less...and yes, he was cheating during all of them. If he hadnt of cheated, he likely wouldnt of made it to any SBs, and yes, what they did was worth at least a FG. Without cheating BB might well be the defensive coordinator of the Jets right now.

Well holy speculation, Batman. What of his turning around the Browns org before his unceremonious dismissal as they relocated under his nose? How he turned around a 2 win team and led them to their last PO win? Against the Patriots, ironically.

If you are telling me that Belichick is a fraud, you lose your NFL fan card in thine eyes, and come across as a salty know-nothing homer. Belichick is a savant. A man with encyclopedic knowledge of his opposition's game plan. A PURE SAVANT at in-game adjustments and game-day preparation. And don't herr derr me with the last Super Bowl, he has five other wins at the helm, and a further two more with the Giants as DC reining in LT and destroying his opponents

I bet you think Jerry Jones is the bee's knees?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He improved because they won. If he goes 5-11 this year is he the same guy he was in year 1 or year 2? I never thought of him as a bad coach to be honest. I just think he got to coach a better team in year 2 than year 1.

LOL I hope Jerry Jones is a vampire and lives forever. Daniel Snyder too.
Sorry, i didnt understand that this was a deep thought free zone. LOL
