Stealth Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Baring a complete breakdown of their offensive system, they still have the fastest/one of the highest scoring offense in the league. Defensively their lb's and safeties are weak spots. They're not a perfectly built team but they should be very dangerous. It makes sense for them to stock up on corners, considering The receivers in the NFC EAST on Dallas/NYG, as well if they want to go to a superbowl having to compete against the likes of New Orleans/Atlanta/GB they have to shut down other teams passing games. Again not perfect, but they've made moves that will undoubtedly help their team Edited July 30, 2011 by Stealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again not perfect, but they've made moves that will undoubtedly help their team an injury to mccoy, any offensive line injuries, or any run of injuries in the front seven would be crippling, but they look pretty good. id worry about them playing clean mistake free playoff ball.... especially in bad weather against teams like chicago, greenbay, giants, or even on their own homefield (when you want to run and stop the run) but thats about it.

vincec Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I don't know why they're wasting their time signing high profile free agents. Everyone on TSW knows that you can't get better this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qdawg in philly Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 No they are not the team to beat! I follow them all year like I do the bills because I'm in Philly. Their biggest problem is Andy Reid! As long as he's there they will not be the team to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I love the city of Philadelphia, and the Iggles are my favorite NFC team...they will be a fun team to watch, for sure. If our Bills can't win the SB right now, I'm hoping the Eagles do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) i do think they will struggle against physical teams that can run, have veteran accurate qbs and have tight ends think saints, packers, patriots... even atlanta if matt ryan matures and tony g doesnt.... the lack of linebackers and safeties should make it a game where a physical team can control the middle of the field and play possession ball.

NoSaint Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 With their three corners samuel might b a safety thats like saying with young, vick might be a running back. you run nickle atleast half to two thirds of your plays in the league these days. especially in the nfc right now, where you dont see teams built to run on you and WR corps are very deep.

Mr. WEO Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The eagles are stacking their team like the Miami heatSo are they the favorites? I guess they gotta be Gee--where did you read that? Anyway, the Packers had 16 players on IR last season--including their star RB and TE, yet they still won the SB. The Packers picked apart Reid's gameplan (Mike Vick passing 36 times) in the wildcard last year. Adding top CBs doesn't change the difference in talent and coaching that still exists between these two teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Eagles are stacking themselves for a run. But the teams to beat are still the Packers and Steelers. Get used to seeing the Packers and Steelers in the playoffs and Super Bowl. Those franchises are set up for a nice run the next decade or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Look at post times, I did it before shefter Vince Young declares the Eagles to be a “Dream Team”Posted by Mike Florio on July 30, 2011, 1:23 PM EDT Getty ImagesIn a move that could eventually be a nightmare for Philly fans, newly-arrived backup quarterback Vince Young has declared the Eagles to be a “Dream Team.” “From Nnamdi [Asomugha] to [Dominique Rodgers-]Cromartie, to Jason [babin] to myself,“ Young told the media on Saturday, according to Tim McManus of PhillySportsDaily.com. “I know they are going to do some more things. . . . It’s just beautiful to see where we’re trying to go.” All that’s missing are the fog machines, the spotlights, and expectations that can be achieved only if the Eagles win the Super Bowl. That said, it’s safe to say that the same dynamic that made otherwise neutral NBA fans turn on the Miami Heat will prompt NFL fans with no strong feelings about the Eagles to develop them. One of the newest Eagles, Jason Babin, tells Twitter followers that Philadelphia is the NFL version of the Miami Heat. “I feel like we are the Miami Heat of the NFL.....,” Babin tweeted on his way to Lehigh as the Eagles started a big training camp session with owner Jeff Lurie in attendance. Vince Young, Jason Babin: Eagles Are Dream Team, Miami Heat of NFLBy Larry Brown July 30, 2011 - Posted in Football When asked to describe the players the Eagles have brought in, Vince Young said “dream team.” He continued “From Nnamdi [Asomugha] to [Dominique Rodgers-] Cromartie, to Jason [babin] to myself, I know they are going to do some more things … It’s just beautiful to see where we’re trying to go.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT??? lol Come on, Joe...I absolutely fell in love with the passion and loyalty of the Philly fans when I lived there. They love their teams even when they suck, and I think it's a huge insult to compare them to the pompous, arrogant Boston fans. Philly is a large market, but they have always had to deal with an inferiority complex (relative to NYC and Boston), so in that sense I find them very endearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Teams that make the most moves in FAcy always win the Super Bowl. FACT. I won't trust Vick to stay healthy or win in the clutch. Plus, the NFC East will beat each other. I wish I could beat money on the Eagles not going to the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
