Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon Who all thinks that the Eagles will make the playoffs? If you do, tell me, and I will add you.Come on, we need some support :aggressive:
Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon And you guys dont think we will make the playoffs only because we had a bad year last season. Well guess what, McNabb was still pulling the Eagles to .500 ball last year for most of the whole disaster. Imagine what he and we can do when we get a healthy McNabb. If you say we don't have enough recievers. How many great recievers did we have during the period when it was a given for us to make the NFC Champ game? Westbrook, LJ Smith and Reggie Brown will do the trick. And McNabb is a top 5 QB. He will find someone to pass to anyway. We will be running the ball more with Westbrook and Moats taking more carries next year. I guarentee that.Now, look at the defense. We will have a hugely improved defensive line next year. Watch out for The Freak, Jevon Kearse. I guarentee that he will have an improved year over last season. Also, newly signed Darren Howard will be a force on the other end. He is another marvelous defensive end, and you can bet your buck that there will be alot of tips, and sacks next year from those two. After that we have Mike Patterson, who had a pretty impressive rookie year. I bet he will do well again. Now, our LB core isn't great but Trotter is a beast. He is a freak at getting tackles, and also heading through the line of scrimmage to pressure or sack the QB or stop the RB dead in his tracks. Trotter is a workhorse at LB and he should have another great year.Now, look at our secondary defense. Look at the names here. Shelden Brown, Mike Lewis, Brian Dawkins, and Lito Shepard. That is a GREAT core right there. Shelden and Lito are both very solid. And Dawk and Mike are both at the front-end of their position. It should be difficult for the opposing passing game.Next, look at our schedule. We play the Texans, Giants, 49ers and Packers in the first month. It should be a piece of cake to be atleast 3-1, or even 4-0 through that period. It is pretty much inevitable that we should beat teams like the Texans, 49ers, and Packers, so we should have a great headstart for the season.Now, with that writeup have I changed anyone's mind?
Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon Because thier division is hard because they are in the same one as the Redskins, Giants, and Cowboys. They have 6 division games against those 3 teams. No way will they win the division or come in 2nd. I'm thinking it'll go 1.Giants, 2. Redskins, 3Cowboys, 4Eagles. Then they dont have a true number 1 reciever and no running game. Its looking like a disaster waiting the happen to me.
Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon The Eagles have a brutal schedule at the end of the year... three straight division road games. Ouch...

You make the fact that we don't have WR's a big deal. We have plenty of targets in Reggie Brown, Greg Lewis, Westbrook, and LJ Smith. There ya go. And if WR's are such an important factor, how come we've always done so well with a crappy WR core in the pre-Owens era? Tell me please. I am aware that we play in a tough division, but one of those teams will obviously crumble, so it is up in the air. I still see us making the playoffs because I believe in McNabb and I am a true fan so I have to believe in the team as well.If McNabb didn't get hurt, we made the playoffs, and lost Owens anyway people would still think that we could make the playoffs. I love how last year changes peoples decisions.

The Redskins, Cowboys, and Giants are a ton better now than in years past. Thats why.
Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon I agree with PJ, the division is just getting better by the minute and the Eagles will be the odd team out.
Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon I think they have a chance to make the playoffs....so count me in! :happy0144:
Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon Thank you. Another member :happy0144:I will be happy with 5 here because it is obvious that no one agrees with me here
Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon I think your better off with a Raptors making the playoffs bandwagon the way your going. How'd you become a Eagles fan by the way CB4?
Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon The Eagles will be the best fourth place team this year. Count on it.
