Green Bay had 400 yards passing against the Eagles tonight and Aaron Rogers didn't play.

You buddy are an Eagle's fan. See right thru you bro. Take your Eagle-jock-riding, less than half of a playbook claimin fan boy *** outta here with that.

His post history is curious. He's certainly active in the Philly game threads. That activity consisted of a lot of Romo chokes, Garrett sucks. Which is odd because he previously posted that he thought "we would get smoked." He's posted a ton of times in the last two weeks almost exclusively in threads about the Eagles. You can't get very far in his post history without the Eagles being a topic.

Last season he also was very interested in Brandon Graham. He spent an inordinate amount of time coming up with excuses for the Eagles loss to the Seahawks and subsequent posts provided a great deal of info from Philly radio stations. He talked about Chip Kelly in a post asking if. Garrett would win coach of the year. Was sure the Eagles were adding Mariota.

Maybe he's just from Philly because he's also taken it upon himself to the city itself. Being there as a Cowboys fan could let some of the preseason kool aid seep info the water supply.

I think Philly could be good too, but they're relying on a whole mess of key guys that were only available because of their injury histories and a bunch of other guys that have never done anything. Dallas I think has fewer questions but preseason isn't the time for definitive answers.

yeah he is a philthy fan. Just love it when they show up and try and deny that they are. Posts are easy to find and his almost always have something about Philthy in them.

Seems like 'ol "Rogah" got everyone jumpy. Got peeps thinkin' there may be more infiltrators.

it isn't paranoia when there really is someone out to get you.

The Eagles are a threat. They have a good coach and some good players on both sides of the ball. I wonder about their depth, especially on OLine, where they are now depending on last years backups at 2 of the positions. I also wonder about their depth on defense, they have a good front seven but what do they have backing it up. I also think that their hurry up offense actually favors us in games against them. I think our offense is likely to be better on a per drive basis then theirs is, again, which means that the extra 2-3 drives a game that their hurry up generates actually puts them in a little bit of a hole. Now that being said I do think they are the second best team in the division on paper and that there's a gap down to the Giants and then a cliff down to the skins.

The Eagles starters sure didn't do that. In fact, they looked pretty good outside of two plays with some missed tackles. I know perspective really is a downer for some arguments around here but it should be at least thought about taken into consideration when attempting to talk like you know what you're talking about.

This guy is an actual Philthy troll. Crowing on a Cowboys board after a preseason game. The only perspective the Eagles had last season was from the dust Dallas kicked up from running into the playoffs while the Eagles collapsed.

The Eagles are the second best team in the NFCE on paper. Their fans have some reason for excitement. But preseason w/l records or scores have nothing to do with them.

Either way, they're still looking up at the Cowboys. Hope they enjoy the view.

You seem to be arguing against things I didn't say or even allude to, so let's start over. I said the Eagles gave up 400 yards passing and Aaron Rogers didn't play. What specifically do you find wrong or misleading about that statement?

Yeah,but still!

Agreed actually after seeing 3 preseason blowouts, I am feeling much better about the Eagles. I can't recall a single team that dominated in preseason like that and did well when the regular season came around. Spurrier comes to mind.

[burmafrd]

that one never gets old. and for one of the few times ever the mediots just let the pictures of the M1 tanks in the background speak for themselves.

Just like in the old days of Pravda - you did not have to say or do anything just let them hang themselves.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Can't wait for the season to start. As this stupid Eagles talk will go away soon.

 

[casmith07]

I didn't realize he was such an Eagles homer.

Seriously? He's an enormous Eagles homer. I'm going to try to find the clip of him completely hammered on a radio show predicting an Eagles Super Bowl a few years ago.

I had this exact same thought the other day. And I wouldn't be surprised if Chip's tenure in the NFL lasts about as long as Steve's did.

Those types of gimmicky offenses are always going to look better than they actually are during the preseason. Every other team is playing that super vanilla defense because they just want to evaluate their roster. Once the game planning comes into play it's a completely different story. We saw that last year.

Especially in December when their defense really crumbled. And I fully expect that to happen again. That'll be the Achilles heel of Chip's gimmick in the pros. Back in college he could dress a billion players and play most of his games at home. Both of those things fueled his gimmick. And neither exists in the pros.

 

[Spectre]

Don't let your homerism cloud your opinion. The Eagles have some potential. I don't think they're a top 5, but it's not out of the question given the unknowns about their team at the current time.

There's an analogy I like to use for the Eagles under Chip. I'm a big MMA and boxing fan, and oftentimes there will be fighters coming up through the ranks who I refer to as "can crushers". These are the guys who are very good at beating the guys that they're supposed to beat, and they usually do it in impressive fashion. Put them in the ring with a guy that's not quite on their level, and you're sure to see a dominant KO/TKO/submission win, probably in the 1st or 2nd round. Put them in the ring with a legit, top 5 contender, and they fold. These "can crushers" arent necessarily bad fighters. In fact, it's quite the opposite, however they'll never be champ and usually end up a fringe top ten fighter who makes a career out of being a gate-keeper. Guys who are for real beat them.

If there was ever an NFL version of a "can crusher", it's Chip's Eagles. They'll squash bad teams. But when a "real" team drags them into deep waters, they'll drown more times than not.

Granted it's early in Chips career, but that's pretty close to how I see him. He was the same way at Oregon. How many championships has he won?
