"It must just be the uninformed dolts in the national media who haven’t bothered to look at what’s going on with the Eagles this year. All they see is that Andy Reid made the playoffs last year and they love kissing his big fat ass. I, on the other hand, have been watching the horror show unfolding this entire off-season up until the eve of the start of the regular season. The Eagles have been affected by death, injuries, free agent defections, bad personnel choices, stupidity and arrogance. I’m just waiting for the locusts. I don’t think the Eagles will beat the Panthers in week 1. Here’s why:....."

Hmmmm...don't know what to say to that. It's odd because it seems like a Homer Panther fan when in fact it is a bitter Eagles fan. And what do they have to be bitter about 5 NFC Championships in 10 years is pretty nice, they are always competitive. Oh well I thought it was a good analysis of both teams' strengths and weaknesses and as I've been saying all day if we DONT get pressure on McNabb with their oline situation it will be VERY disappointing.

He has legitimate concerns but I hate listening to bitching and whining, it gets in the way, the team is not as bad as he says.

And Andy Reid is a great coach, his teams are great in the playoffs and after byes.

it's not as good as everyone else thinks either.

this team is not as good as the team they had last year and last year it was rough for them. they struggled all year up until playoff time, just like the cards.

their oline is in rough shape.

westy is already beat up.

they lost a ton on their defense in leadership and talent over the offseason and they didn't do much to rebuild it.

yeah nobody is paying attention to that at all, that situation could implode but they are not doomed by any means. Good coaching can fix plenty of ills.

I can't stand fans that give up like that, "waiting for the locusts". Opinions are fine but i don't see what's so hard about having a little hope.

Damn....

The real problem for the Eagles offense and one of the main reasons why I don’t see them winning this game is their offensive line. RT Shawn Andrews is busy “Getting his Michael Phelps on” while dealing with a back injury and that fact that his friggin insane - so he won’t be playing this week. That means the Winston Justice starts at RT. That’s the same Winston Justice who has one career start in which he gave up six sacks. Todd Herramens is out with a broken foot; so backup Center Nick Cole is filling in at LG. Jason Peters hasn’t played much in the preseason and he’s coming off a season in which he gave up 11-1/2 sacks. RG Stacey Andrews is coming off knee surgery and has hardly played so far. And the only guy who’s been there all along, C Jamal Jackson, is the worst starter. What could possibly go wrong?

Expect more screen passes to Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy than anything else.

I can't wait to see it. "Westbrook meet Thomas Davis." "Your turn, Sean? Thomas, Sean. Sean, Thomas."

Peppers will be moving around the line and terrorizing Donovan McNabb all day long.

I soooooooooo hope so!

GO PANTHERS!

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
