Offside Number 76 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 The NFC East is gonna be really tough this year. A pretty damn good football team is gonna finish last in that division. And a pretty damned bad QB will either make or just miss the playoffs, just like every year in north Texas. Until proven otherwise, you have to say that Vick is better than EJ, McCoy is better than Spiller/Freddy, and DeSean Jackson is better than Stevie. Also Celek is better than Chandler. And the Eagles lost Jeremy Maclin for the season. It's questionable at best whether our offensive skill guys are as good as theirs. And I'll go with Spiller/Freddy over McCoy. The rest of it? I'm just hopeful.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Hmm, is it possible that Shanahan once again is allowing RG III to return to action before he is ready? If he continues to struggle, I wonder how long it will be until the call goes out to Cousins. To my eye, RG3 is fine physically although mentally he might not be fully ready for action. Besides being a bit skittish, he really hasn't gotten many reps this preseason and none with live bullets.
KD in CA Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 RG3 lost a step or two?? Hesitant Those are two very different things. Remember how tentative Brady looked in his first game after his knee injury (IIRC that was the Ledois fumble game)? I'm sure RG3 is hesitating, I think it's way too early to say he's lost a step. Vick on the other hand has lost a couple steps from his early days.
mannc Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Perhaps. Or perhaps you're completely wrong. Sorry, I forgot that Marrone was an offensive genius at Syracuse. I think he even led them to the Poinsettia Bowl one year.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Hey brother - good to see you. Yes, agreed on NFC East. Dallas looks like the real deal. Giants always come on late in season. Hey BBF! Glad another NFL season is finally upon us!
Mango Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 The eagles are doing a much better job of getting ther ball to players in space. We didn't seem to have much of that. We could have used some well planned screens
papazoid Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Chip Kelley's offense is working... hope he scores 60
Wazzu Bill Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Concerning the Texans vs. Chargers MNF game: What do you guys predict for the fantasy production (non-ppr) of Antonio Gates + Arian Foster combined? Over/Under 30 points.

Fair enough...maybe he is hesitant to leave the pocket on a scramble to reach the first down marker because he knows he lost a step or two.
Wazzu Bill Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Fair enough...maybe he is hesitant to leave the pocket on a scramble to reach the first down marker because he knows he lost a step or two. Or hesitant due to the insane amount of fumbles he lost last season...he probably knows he's gotta be more conservative running or he could lose his job.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 RG3 ragdolled big time. Good thing he landed on his back and not his shoulder.

Over/Under 30 points. Gates 4 catches 50 yds. Foster - 25 rushes, 110 yds, 5 receptions - 40 yds, 2 yds
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Probably had the wind knocked out of him.
Bangarang Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Sorry, I forgot that Marrone was an offensive genius at Syracuse. I think he even led them to the Poinsettia Bowl one year. I guess it makes more sense to sum up someone's ability to succeed after one game. You talk as though its a certainty the Eagles run over the league and Marrone is destined to live in th cellar of the AFC East. Nothing like having a decent sample size.

LOL! By the time this game is over, he might have lost a leg or two. This is just an ass pounding being administered by Philly.

BillsInMaine Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 I noticed the Eagles D looks fast, like ours did. I think the Eagles and Bills D's have been conditioned very well by facing these high temp O's all pre season. I really hope Hackett implements some more passing into the O with more diverse run plays. We have potential to look similar to this Eagles team, which by the way looks very good.

Well, as my post suggests, I think it's fair to consider their respective college coaching records, as well.
