Hmmm, kind of--The Eagles had 5 losses in the 9 games McNabb started last year.
There is a reason they play the games instead of just projecting who should win. Seem to recall hearing similar things from Dolphin fans coming off a 9-7 season with a 14 game home opener win streak as opposed to the Eagles who have lost 4 of 5 of their opening games the last 5 years. Y'all should definitely be favored but no game is a lock.

I live in Houston, so I have a little more insight than someone in Philly. A bad O-Line, a new offense, and a better 2nd QB than a starter wont keep you in the game against our D!

Actually, the vast majority of Philly fans dont put any stock into what ESPN reports anyway. They seems to have a slight dislike for Philly fans, as do most media Sources :P

And westbrook and mcnabb alone can not keep you in the game against our D.
I think mcnabb is gonna be seriously running for his life against us.

What?
If he does run, it counts for yards and first downs. Unlike Carr running, which counts for sacks and lost yards.

I think you missed my point im not talking about what he did in the past i am saying against us in the UPCOMING game he will be running because of constant pressure not because he wants to. As for carr you are correct but that was then this is now.

Carr looks no better now than he did before. Rosenfels looks better than he does. The new offense will help, cuz it gets him out of harms way early, with the rollouts and all. He is still David Carr. If I were a Texans fan, I would support him too. At some point yall have to realize the truth, you will not make it with Carr as your starting QB.

yea well.... you must be refering to coach kubiak also who said carr would be our starter. Im gonna go with what he says on this one... but thanks for giving your OPINION though. At some point yall have to realize the truth, you guys are gonna have get mcnabb a guy who can catch the ball besides westbrook. He is doing too much on the field...just my OPINION though.

Dude, we have been trying to tell the front office that all off season. I hope our young guys can step up, but we all know it takes recievers a couple years to get it together. I guess the FO is comfortable with what we have. It is supposed to be more about spreading the ball around, than about a #1 reciever. I guess we will see. 4 NFC Champ appearances and 1 Superbowl appearance in the last 5 years. Like you said, we have to trust them and go with it.

I miss 3 on your list from offense, dont miss 6 of them, and 2 of them are still on the team.
I miss 5 of them on defense and dont miss 8 of them.
That might not be unanimous wtih all Eagles fans, but it shold be close. By the way, in 2004, T.O. was injured through our entire playoff run. He didnt carry us through those games, did he?
No but you take his what 14 reg season TD's away and you are not even in the playoffs. Look what happened last year without the guy. Sorry but its time for a reality check in Philly, no disrespect because like I have stated before that there are some great people on that team. As a whole the talent on your team looks worse than the Arizona team from 3 years ago.
Divebomb said:
Sorry, but 80% of the players you listed there are backups, special teamers, or just plain stank. The only ones we might have possibly missed are Taylor and Vincent, and their jobs have more than been taken over by Sheppard and Brown.
Not to mention that Tra Thomas is still an Eagle...he just changed his name to William for some awful reason :brickwall
Divebomb said:
And oh yes...in 2004, we were carried by TO...who had no part in the playoffs until the Super Bowl whatsoever. That TO, right?
And in 2005...a season in which we were missing almost half of our starters, we still had 3 times more wins than you.
Who is dreaming?

I respect Eagles fans and at the same time never look them in the eye on Sundays unless I am armed with Tastycakes, Yoo-hoos and a hooded sweatshirt. But as scary, confident, educated and blindly loyal they are towards their brethern do not fear the eaglets.
I expect our game to be a close one, but one we will win. For two reasons, the team quit due to their attitude towards one another and have no depth and they got drilled by the zone blocking scheme last year against the Falcons and the Broncos.

Why Philly should come to grasp with the reality that they really did loose all of there talents from 2003 (Pre T.O.) playoff team!

I think this game is gonna be one of the best games on opening day. Everyone knows the eagles are going to blitz all day to try and rattle DC,but they are going to be in for a rude awakening. Kubiak is going to have a gameplan to make ya'll pay for that s##t. 
Yo eagle fans, what do ya'll expect from our defense. The same defense that waits until they pick the thorns out of their rear-ends and then try to make a play on the ball. Andy Reid don't know what he is expected to see with this new breed of TEXANS defense this year.All I got to say is your offense better be ready to roll and DC is not the only one who is going to get rattled. Mcnabb better not get tired in this game cuz that eagle is going to be a flying duck.

Sound like Dallas Cowboys, all their fans worrying about TO and their O-Line and yet proclaiming they are Super Bowl bound...LMAO I told them Cowpatties won't get into Super Bowl with a ticket
heh... man... im detecting some ignorance from the Eagle fans.. despite thier claims to know all about us.
1. You are bad against zone blocking, we zone block. And dont say that we dont have same rushing capability as the Broncos cause if ya look at the stats this preseason, we are performing as good as they are in that aspect..despite not having Domanick Davis.
2. Our offensive line is MUCH BETTER. MUCH. On top of that Carr is going to be rolling out alot more.. and say what you want about his athletic ability, hes a very mobile QB.
BTW, to the eagle fan that said when McNabb runs he gets first downs and when Carr runs he gets sacked. Id like to point out that in 2004 AND 2005, Carr was a better rushing QB than McNabb. Stick that in your cheesesteak and choke on it.
3. Our defense is MUCH improved.. and aggressive.. and im sorry but your WR corps really ARENT a huge threat.
To be honest.. looking at the two teams, im not sure where exactly Philly has an advantage.
Your Defensive line is really good, but ours is really improved and is possibly very good as well.. they have looked fairly good so far.
Your secondary doesnt look any better than ours.
Your offensive line is supposedly better (though you did give up 37 sacks last season), but ours is improved there as well (1 sack given up so far this preseason. Carr has had time in the pocket.)
We have you beat at WR and Running back.. you have us beat (possibly) at QB. And I say possibly because McNabb sucked last year and Carr is in a good position to improve here.
Really.. I think we could not only beat the Eagles, I think we could slaughter em.
And btw.. about the season predictions for folks on the board here. It is a fan's right to be optimistic about thier team
. There is not some unwritten rule that says you have to predict your team will finish under .500 after a 2-14 season.
Personally, I think we will finish above .500. As for our first 4 games, you never know what could happen.. but that is the hardest part of our schedule, so if we can tough our way through them and come out 2-2 or 3-1.. we will be in a position to really surprise some people this season.

Until proven otherwise Philly has a decided edge at QB. McNabb is elite and will get the best out of an OK WR corps.
hmm...yah ok ill give them the edge at QB. I was mixing up McNabb in 2005 with Culpepper in 2005 (Culpepper was horrendous)
McNabb played alright in 2005 in the 9 games he was in.
So.. Eagles have the edge at QB and DLine.. we have the edge at WR and RB (shush, yes we do)... everwhere else is a wash.
I still say we slaughter em

Baskett, Brown, and Gaffney are better than both of those WRs listed above. Our C is much better this year. Our OTs are much better this year. Staley sucks so we are much better shape when it comes to running. Our OGs are better this year. Chad Lewis rocked but LJ Smith is doing great also.
Our defense is WAY BETTER that that D listed above. Even Johnson said this is the best Defensive line he has ever had. Our depth is better than it has been in the last ten years also.
Owens was great but he did not get us through the PLAYOFFS in 2004 to get to the Superbowl.
My last remark on this thread, Eagle Fans should be excited about this season. It is the first season where they have no running game and no passing game to compete with, but the (Northern Media) are still pushing that team as being considered a playoff contender LOL! What a joke! I can't wait to see Houston pass the torch to these guys
. If those guys win 3 games they will have accomplished more than they should. They must have called in Don Capers as a consultant for player personnel

Put the smoke pipe down. lol No running game? Yeah... keep believing the media. No passing game? McNabb is on the road for being the most winningest QB in a decade for a reason. Plus, look at his interception percentage... 2nd lowest in NFL history and he did most of that time with 'crappy' WRs. We are in great shape and I am not worried about our offense at all. We will just have to wait and see.
