I've been reading threads on a few Eagles fan sites and articles over at philly.com and i gotta admit their fanbase/ beatwriters sound just as if not more negative than us.

Seems the general consensus is that their screwed at RT and not very proud of their O-line as a whole right now...(reminds me of the days when we had to start willig at RT)...They also sound pretty bleak about their run defense and feel like were going to expose the middle of their defensive line. And of Course everybody has smitty on their radar and expect him to get at least 1 score.

The closer we get to gametime the more confident i'm feeling about this game.come on sunday hurry up and get here!

All fan bases are negative when their team isn't winning all its games. I bet if the Steelers lose more than 5 games this year, their fanbase (some of it anyway) will turn negative.

Some of them do have enough sense to not flap around like Daffy freakin Duck over a couple of pre season games though.

    • I get that my example was not exhaustive of all the reasons, but it also is that simple (generally). Which is why some teams pay players years before the get to FA to save some money and bet that the player continues to develop.  And I understand your point about Horn, but I dont think we are in a position to allow players of his caliber to leave. We had no succession plan for him. Had we let him go and Mike Jackson was our #1 corner on the team I might throw up. So we need to over pay to get some stability - and hope the injuries are behind us. 
    • I think you have a very simplistic view of a pretty complex system, hence why you are getting emotional and confused. The league is going through a market adjustment period for several reasons(COVID cap freeze, new TV deal, etc) but paying top dollar for players that aren't clearly elite isn't typically a wise long term investment, regardless of market changes. Overpays literally happen every single offseason. We should know, we have done it over and over. Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, CMC, etc, etc.
    • True. So you can say that he is not worth the money because he has missed a bunch of games - and thats a fair argument. But you can also say that when he is available he is 'one of' the best CB's in the league.  But now you need to value that. I doubt that he takes a deal worth less then he did (obviously) so then you need to determine is the draft pick we are going to get back for him worth it.  So you can do what we did, or you can trade the player, thereby making the defence worse, but you have most cap space sitting there.  So on sundays when we are getting blown out, you can still feel good that we have a lot of cap space.
