Wolf said:someone posted that the eagles lost 4 games by 6 points or less .. well I honestly didn't know that.
FWIW, I know y'all see a 2-14 team, but we also lost 4games 6 points or less. (and 1 game by 7)
edit ..despite having 31st ranked defense and an offense ranked 30ish also
The Preacher said:This could easily end up being where the game is won or lost. McNabb will most likely get some time but not as much as one might think. The front four is greatly improved and I think all will be surprised by the pressure we get. I would be surprised if you guys can run it well consistently, leading to more passing than you want. If our blitz packages are effective you guys will be in trouble. Same with our offense they will need to be creative to slow your front four down. Should be a great game I would be shocked though if you won by seventeen. Vince Papale rocks and I'm glad we've got this one at home. You guys are hardcore football fans good luck after week 1.
Texans 23-16
There's no such thing as playing better than your record indicates. Good teams have good records, bad teams have bad records.E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles said:i was the one who posted that...and if you'll read the entire post i also said that the texans played better than what their record showed and acknowledged the same stat for the texans.

For instance, as much as I love the birds, we were a bad team last year, for obvious reasons. The Texans? Well, they're the Texans.
I can't see any reason why I think the Texans will win next week. They're a bad franchise that didn't address any of their needs this offseason, passed on a franchise-changing RB to get a back-up DE, only to see their starting RB go down for the season.
You're a 3-win season. Nothing more. Play your position
Final Score: Eagles 27 Texan 6

RiotCommander said:When is the last time the eagles WON a Superbowl? They remind me of the Bills always knocking on the door, but never able to get in.
Sorry, but a shot had to be fired!!
GuerillaBlack said:Hell yeah! I would rather be a Texan than an Eagle anyday!
Roughnecks said:I wouldn't say that they scare me but the diffrece is they do remember how to win games regardless of their record last year remember we were 2-14 but we will be better as well. By no means am I saying that they will beat us but we can not over look them and getting in a war of words with these guys when they come over here. If they wont to over look us fine but lets not do the same I for one like Eagles fans the stand up for their team and they are loud at home games I do think we have a chance to win but lets face it intill we start winning games these guys not just Eagles but the rest we play are going to dog us but keep the faith because after this year the nfl will find out we are no longer their doormats.
Franchise-changing? Since when is 40-something carries for about 100 yards, with no TD's in four games franchise changing.Green Bird said:There's no such thing as playing better than your record indicates. Good teams have good records, bad teams have bad records.

Jwwillis said:Soooo what stats do we go by to determine RB is a "franchise changing" back? Please don't say college stats.
TexansLucky13 said:Just because it is preseason doesnt mean it can be so easily dismissed. Take for example the Patriots destroying the Redskins. That isnt worthless information. I would not dig deep into any preseason stat but that does not mean I think it is "meaningless". There are signs that should be watched for. Just like the Texans in preseason last year. How many people changed their minds about last season after seeing their preseason performance? I see you guys admit to that a lot on this board.
P.S. - Reggie Bush will at best be the next Barry Sanders. An electrifying individual on a subpar team. Not that that wont get him into the HOF, but it sure wont get them to the SB.
flylikeaneagle said:Does not matter. Most Superbowl teams only win a couple or less preseason games. Preseason should only measure the guys who are competing for a position on the roster. That is why they have preseason. NFL teams have to cut their rosters down and preseason is the best way to see who they keep and who they cut. The game is a lot different when regular season starts.

Insideop said:Yea, that's what we kept telling ourselves last year. I agree for the most part that the preseason is about gauging the players to see who will make the team, but it can also be an indicator of where a team stands and where they are headed. For example, last year we were coming off a 7 and 9 season in 2004 and we had high hopes for going to the playoffs in 2005, but the team looked totally lost during the preseason going 1 and 3. Most kept telling themselves (myself included) that it was only preseason and it didn't matter. After the first few games it was pretty evident this team was going nowhere fast.
This year has been totally different. New coaches, alot of new players, and a new attitude. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that our 3 and 1 preseason record means we will be in the playoffs, but there is definately a difference in this years team. So don't be too surprised if your team doesn't win on Sept. 10th. I think the Texans are going to surprise a few teams this year! JMHO!

flylikeaneagle said:Well, by going by that -- The Eagles will be a great team due to the fact they (the first and second team) only allowed 1 td (maybe 0 tds -- cannot remember -- long day).
