Disrespect Taken to New Level

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...

I think the Cats D has no hope vs Philly's O. They aren't tackling well and Philly is great at YAC.

I think the Cats OL has shown that while they can pick up the opposing D's schemes/stunts pretty well this preseason, they can't actually beat the opposing defense physically at the LOS very well. Also they are getting too many penalties and making bad down and distance for themselves which is about the LAST THING ON EARTH you want to do against an aggressive D like Philly's.

The panthers biggest problem in the preseason was TURNOVERS!! It amazes me that we could turn it over that much and most people just glaze over it.

The Pitt game was a prime example, had we not turned it over the game would have been a W. Same could be said for all the preseason games.

After the way last season ended you'd think that turnovers would be our biggest concern, but no, for some reason everyone is freaking out about the D-line, and the D as a whole.

That's a good point. Perhaps it isn't something that is being talked about because the main source of it was rookies and backups.

.

That I agree with...although we don't have the elite name receiver like Steve Smith, we have a group of 4-5 guys and a scheme that allows for a lot of YAC against a team that is not tackling well.......that is as long as McNabb is not throwing the ball at their feet.

Regardless of them being rookies and backups those same fumblers will be playing sunday (Munnerlyn, Goodson, Moore)

We just gotta hold onto the damn ball!

also, as great as the OL was last season....didn't they also lead the league in penalties?

Right, IMO just like GB's corps, not big names but quite competent if not good as a corps.

McNabb will never have seen so many wide open WRs in his life I am afraid.

True dat...wasn't trying to minimize your point at all (and I know that's not what you think I was doing anyway :) ), it was an excellent point.

Oh god they were horrible ( I think they were THE worst in the NFL in false starts last year) and it didn't look any better this preseason. I really hope they are working on this a bunch. WRs should never have false starts and even they are effing up big there.

Dang, if our team is that bad I don't even know if it will be worth watching...

No really, the Eagles didn't look super shiney top 3 in the pre-season either people. Colts, Patriots, even the Jags walked up the field on their starting defense, I know, I got all their games. Their defense my look better on paper, but no...

I'm not gonna hand them the game because our defense looked poor in the preseason, f-that. We'll win this game by more than a TD. Thats my prediction.

This is ProFootballTalk's pick for our game:

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

There's only one way to make this kind of analyse go away.........pound the poo out of Philly, Atl. and Dallas. Then we won't have to hear it again until we play another playoff game.

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.

How does it feel to have the media kiss your teams ass? I just wanna know.

    • Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
    • Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
    • as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
