Anyone headed to the game tonight? Should be a fun night out @ the Linc. What's your current outlook on the Eagles this season. I am cautiously optimistic.
I live in Mass so no. I predict another 6-10 season. Their run defense is weak & they have way too many question marks on offense.
I'm thinking 11-5 or 10-6... Improved defensive line and a healthy Donovan. How would you rank the NFC East?
1.washington redskins 2.dallas cowboys Im not sure whether to go with new york or phili for the no.3 spot
The question is, does Donovan return to pre-TO Donovan, or the Donovan that we got to know for a year?
ehh i see the east as Giants and Cowgirls 10-6 skins 8-8 Eagals 5-11 The Giants seem to be underrated IMHO. Eagles have no running game but ive heard big things for basket in the future for the passing game. The D just didnt improve enough
Joe T just said, <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Offensively, Pittburgh is happy with getting just enough for the first down</div> Isn't that the goal of the other 31 teams as well? That could be the stupidest thing I ever heard him say.
Just got back from the game. I still think the Birds look good. Defense looked good - Darren Howard had a nice game. Correl Buckhalter also looked pretty good. Donovan looks like pre-TO and is poised for a great season. It will be a tough division and should be fun to watch. Is TO going to have an impact this season?
OK - this is what I am going to say - it will be very close: 1) Eagles 2) Redskins 3) Giants 4) Cowboys
I have Washington and Dallas going 11-5, N.Y. Giants going 9-7 and Philly going 6-10. They have way to many question marks on offense and they're defense isn't what it was a few years ago. I think they're in for a long year with the schedule they have.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (brewpubzone)</div><div class='quotemain'>I'm thinking 11-5 or 10-6... Improved defensive line and a healthy Donovan.

NFC east Rank Skins, Giants, Cowboys, Eagles. All teams are with in 2 games of each other. Its possible the division winner may only have a .500 record in the division.
Skins seem to be struggling this pre season (tough loss to the Pats) and TO seems like he is becoming a distraction (just fined). It will be definitely close but I am now thinking the real competition will be between the Giants and the Eagles.
The Skins will be fine. Al Saunders will have the offense smoking whether Portis or Duckeet is @ RB. The trick will be to keep Brunnell healthy. The Cowboys OL and the Giants D are the big unknowns in this division.
