I think it will be closer than that, maybe 27-17, but I think Philly wins because I don't see them starting 0-2.
I'm with you, the Skins and Giants always play the Eagles close regardless of how good/bad they are.
JJ has always given young QBs fits and this is what gives me the most confidence.
On the other hand, last years Eagle defense struggled against the run, and also struggled against mobile quarterbacks. It's a new year, a whole new defense, and it'll be nice to see if this was addressed.
Same with the Skins defense. Can they stop the run? Will Reggie Brown continue to play big against them as he has in the past?
And finally... was the Eagles O just rusty against the pack, or have they taken a step down?
This game will tell us alot
It's a Fn tragedy of Fn tragic proportions... I cannot watch this game. Complicated, but some things are more important than football, even for an Eagles fan.
