I can't believe Texan fans actually think they have a shot at winning this game. I'll spell it out for you and number the reason why you won't win.
1. The Eagles defense has a huge chip on its shoulder because of last season. They are making this a statement game that they are back, and believe me THEY ARE BACK!! The starters allowed 3 points in 3 preseason games and the defensive line is one of the very best.
2. The Texan's o-line is a turnstile factory (see reason #1) and will be destroyed by the Eagles d-line. Philly wont even have to blitz, getting rediculous pressure with their front 4 and covering your overrated receivers with their Pro Bowl Secondary.
3. Mcnabb has a chip on his shoulder, much like the defense, but much much worse. He's very angry over what happened last season with TO and is slimmer and looks like he did his rookie year (which means he's going to be a scrambling nightmare for defenses). Everyone got use to Mcnabb sitting in the pocket because they had TO....well wake up!! They HAD to throw to TO almost every play to make him happy....well no more. Now its back to spreading the ball around....the gameplan that got them to 3 straight NFC title games and scored more points than when they had TO (look it up)
4. The offense is much more explosive than you think. The starters scored on almost every possession so far in the preseason and they have a loaded backfield with Buckhalter returning (finally) from injury and he looked great against Baltimore last week with a 48 yard screen pass. No defense will be able to cover everyone on this offense, and the offensive line is absolutely MAMMOTH giving Mcnabb time to read a book before he throws. He has yet to be sacked in the preseason also.
Just a couple of reasons why the Texans will get ANNIHILATED in this game. I could actually sit here all day and break down the game for you, but don't kid yourselves guys. Last year's record was because of injuries and the TO fiasco, coupled with coming off a Super Bowl loss. Carolina lost the Super Bowl in 2003, then had an injury riddled year....and tell me what they did last season? Thats right....they werre right back to where they were in 2003.
At least youll get to look forward to another top 5 draft pick next year!!!!!!
