So the Eagles aren't as advertised?

Thinking their outing against the Skins was a fluke. Although they have played 3 games in 11 days. Let's see what happens when they have some rest.

They're gonna start breaking down real soon. You can't run 70+ plays a game and expect personnel to not get injured.

No one can deny the talent on the Eagles' team. I have always marveled at how they underperform so often.

They do have a lot of talent but I think they are missing their best receiver in maclin. Desean is a bit overrated outside of his speed...he's not a great route runner and he is undersized. Vick is also overrated at this point in his career...he makes bad decisions and is extremely injury prone. Mccoy is the real deal...that guy is amazing. Still, they underperform because they haven't had a rock solid system to follow every year...it changes too much. Maybe Chip can get them used to his system but my bet is Vick gets hurt and misses more time making it impossible for everyone to stay healthy and on the same page. Oh, and they still can't play D for ****.

And that is what it feels like to be an Eagles fan. Only worse.

Uh oh

[GodzillaSpawn]

Yeah, not the news the 49ers needed. Especially with two lawsuits pending against him from a house party last year. Shame. Both he and Von Miller are like best friends. And now it's easy to see why. Both are dumb and irresponsible.

Hope they both grow up very soon. They are young and I do get that. But I'm 26 and have ditched every self-destructive habit I've ever had.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I think he needs a smack on the wrist. I don't recall him having any issues around here when he was in HS or College. However, I he does need a TO. Get him right before he messes up a potentially good career.

 

[BadMoon]

Just read that the Eagles were the first team in NFL history to ever open their season with 3 games in 11 days.

After watching them play last night, I would say that impacted them more than I thought it would. They just looked flat the whole game.

Falcons don't have enough depth to handle all these injuries. It's going to be a long season. I feel bad for Tony G. Comes back for a shot and at this rate it's going to be tough to get a wild card.

 

[Black Knight]

Favre had the same problem ...

I'm no falcons fan but what the heck S-Jax?! that play he got hurt on was nothing. and yes i have him on my fantasy team and am pissed!

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Steven Jackson is too injury prone

Dropped an easy game winning touchdown against the Aints and gets hurt in week two. This will be a one and done for him at his age. I'd imagine we'll be looking for a replacement this off season.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Bengals are up 14-0 on Green Bay already

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

So I've figured it out. Want the Panthers to play well - Have Rivera's job in jeopardy every week. That's the only time they play.

 

[Darth Madden]

Too bad that idea hasn't worked with Josh Freeman in Tampa.

 

[ProgMatinee]

LOL. How can the Giants lose 38-0 to Scam Newton.

 

[ProgMatinee]

What are the Browns doing? They aren't supposed to win a game!
