We're Built For This Schedule (Plus Obligatory Shot At Murray)

In years past I'd be terrified of this year's schedule. The AFC East has some dominant fronts and defenses overall. Seattle and Green Bay are stout. Carolina has a solid front 7. Philly has beefed up their D and Washington always plays us tough.

I'm not sweating it though. Our line is easily the best in football, Collins would be the starter on 31 other teams in this league tomorrow and he'll have to win his spot in camp.

This team can travel, they'll play you in a parking lot - and I guarantee they'll be a lot better than 4-4 at home next year. We're built to grind teams out and with an elite QB and dynamic WR like Dez you become a matchup nightmare for everyone.

Doesn't matter who is running the ball - RB is about as plug and play as you can get, there is a reason each year 5 different RBs come out of nowhere.

Last years success was just a glimpse of whats to come - Murray ran that way because he knew he had one chance to cash out, RBs will never get a big second contract - unless you're a guy like AP.

For every 'dirty' yard Murray accounted for, he left three on the field - by turning 40+ yard runs & home run TDs into 25 yard runs that end a helmet to the safeties chest.

Of course I loved all 1800 of those yards but I was left wondering if someone with above average speed could've hit that corner and gone the distance. I can't wait to see this stable of young, hungry, dynamic runners hit the second level, make a guy miss and take it the distance.

We'll all finally be able to forget about Murray when he has 67 yards against us and Joseph Randall goes for 150 and 3 TDs.

I'll give Murray his due. i doubt we'll have a 1800 yard runner this season
but the combined yardage should aggregate near the same.

I'll not tap the brake as the realist like to intone. We'll win the east again
and likely the division. The Super Bowl lets see I'm game.

I have a feeling Run DMC will be hurt and Dunbar gets traded. I think I read Dunbar's cap number was pretty high somewhere. That leaves Randle, RW and Seastrunk. Whats the deal with Lache? He has great speed for sure. What about his blocking ability? Why has he bounced around so much?

I'm pretty sure the team is high on Randall, it seems to be his job to lose. He made the most of his carries last year and has certainly earned a shot to be the lead dog.

Or we may, who cares what Murray does...

I hate to drink the kool aid, but the rest of the division could be really bad...giants included. East should be wrapped up early

I made a bet with a friend for 100 dollars that Philly will be drafting in the top ten next season. Think I collect?

Yeah, I would much rather win the "Division" than the "East". :huh:

come game day I sweat every game. The team who is undefeated and the team who has yet to win. Garrett must keep this team grounded and focused or you could see a repeat of the 2008 season. After finishing 13-3 Cowboys came out the following season (2009) and laid an egg.

I have a hard time imagining someone trading for Dunbar.
