Disrespect Taken to New Level


TouchMeNot97

Recommended Posts

This is ProFootballTalk's pick for our game:

In an effort to spook Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme into another six-turnover performance, the Eagles will be breaking out Cardinals uniforms in the locker room, Mean Machine-style.

Even if they were wearing leather helmets and wool jerseys, Philly would have the superior team.

Pick: Eagles 28, Panthers 16

I guess we have turned into the Lions in their eyes.

Apparently they are not taking into consideration the issues we have at MLB, the rookie starting safety, and the fact the we have an thrown together O-line that have never played together in a game and apparently will now be missing 2 starters with Shawn Andrews in shorts today during practice.

I think the Eagles will score but if the Eagles hold the Panthers to 16, it will because the Panthers didn't execute, not becuase we stopped them.

You've gotta be kidding. Would someone please start another disrespect thread? and dont stop until we have EVERY camera-man for ESPN's prediction. Hit up Fox to, id love to hear what Jillian Anderson has to. Her oppinion means alot to me

Its not the prediction that makes me angry, its the poo talking that goes along with it, like we are the f*cking Lions or Raiders.

I expect them to lose also. Doesn't mean I won't be watching and hoping.

Why? If the Eagles lose someone from the O-line or if Gaither goes down at MLB they will be pulling me from the stands to fill in. That is scary.

Don't be surprised if they sign 84 year old Jon Runyan back before the weekend and he is on the field Sunday....that is how bad it is right now. The Panthers are catching the Iggles at the perfect time.....of course the Panthers have a few issues of their own they are trying to work out also...

You know, if the last time I paid any real attention to the Panthers was in the last game they played, I would probably think they were headed for a crushing defeat too.

Until the team does something to erase the stench of the playoffs, then it deserves the derision that comes with it.

I am trying to figure out how they are so superior to us. I came up with the below list by trying to be as subjective as posible.

Quaterback - Advantage Eagles - McNabb is just plain better than Delhomme

Runningbacks - Advantage Panthers - Double Trouble is proven as the best combo, Westbrook is getting old and McCoy is unproven

Offensive Linemen - Advantage Panthers - We are returning the same line from last year and their line has not played a single game together including preseason

Wide Receivers - Advantage Panthers - Smith is the a top receiver and Moose almost had 1,000 yards last year, DeSean Jackson is good, Kevin Curtis is decent and Maclin is an unknown

Tight Ends - Push - King is reliable and Rosario and Barnidge have shown flashes, Celek made some big catches in the playoffs and Alex Smith stinks

Defensive Linemen - Advantage Eagles - We have Peppers but also major questions marks at DT, Eagles have a good rotation of almost 8 guys

Linebackers - Advatage Panthers - Beason and Davis are beasts, Jordan, Gaither and Gocong don't scare anyone

Cornerbacks - Advantage Eagles - Panthers have Gamble and Marshall and some unknowns, Eagles have Samuel, Brown and Hobbs

Safeties - Advantage Panthers - Harris can hit and Godfrey has gained experience, Mikell is solid but Macho Harris is a rookie

Kicker - Push - Both Akers and Kasay are reliable

Punter - Push - Baker and Rocca are about equal

Special Teams - Advantage Eagles - Panthers have questions marks when it comes to returners, Eagles have explosive Jackson, Demps and Maclin

From this list I only see that they are clearly better at QB, D-Line, CBs and Special Teams. But somehow they are clearly superior.

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
