Carolina -1 vs. Philly

[mantal]

Maybe so but for the first time ever, I am going into the season as an optimist and not the typical Philly pessimist. Every team has question marks going into the season. Just a hunch but I like our chances better than any other year for some reason. Maybe because I can't think of any NFC teams that should be better than the Eagles going into the season. Panthers should be their biggest NFC competition if they can survive what looks to be a brutal regular season schedule though.

Of course it really is all irrelevant until the season starts. The Cardinals of last year and the Giants from the year before proved that.

You have no reason not to think this and we don't either, but you're right, it's gonna be brutal for both teams...

it'll be one hell of a matchup. Two different teams with two different styles.

Heard a recent radio interview with Eagle RDE Trent Cole. When asked about opening the season against the Panthers running game, he responded....NO PROBLEM.

It'd be nice to get a copy of the tape to the OL for their listening pleasure.

If Deangelo and Stewart put as much effort into their off-season workouts as they did last year - then I like our chances. I've rewatched a few of our late season games from last year and those guys were clicking.

Honestly i just went and looked back at the eagles opening day records(since andy reid has been the coach) and they are VERY good. I was going to make a topic about it but i accidentally lost it all by going to a different page without saving.

They absolutely destroy any crappy teams and they lose close ones to good teams or beat good teams.

The eagles have the potential to really spank us. But i think our running game will be able to take care of them, we finally have a running game that we can use whenever we want. It's not like we will put up 200 yards on them, but we should be able to run effectively.

I think this season we will finally be a consensus pick for an elite unstoppable ground game.

But it is going to be TOUGH!!!!!

This is going to be a great game.....aka San Diego from last season....it'll come down to the wire.
