Eagles Explosive Offense
Hopefully you watched the Eagles take care of business today and embarrass the New York Giants. They looked spectacular and definitely like one of the leagues best. They turned a 30-7 half time lead into a 40-17 victory and only held the ball for about 24 minutes. This offense is explosive when they’re playing well and that was proven today since their longest scoring plays went for 41, 54 and 66 yards.
We knew DeSean Jackson would have a year like this and it helps a lot. On any given play he can score and he knows it which makes him even more dangerous. He had one down game this season when he only had 1 catch for a yard or two and Maclin stole the show.
It was also great to see a running game today- even with Westbrook out. That was probably the biggest question coming into the game but especially with the starter sidelined but the backups filled in well. McCoy and Weaver each had Read the rest of this entry »
NFC East Preseason Preview
I’ve been hearing a bunch of experts and NFL analysts predicting a Giants/Patriots Super Bowl. Are they serious? The Eagles have clearly done the most this offseason to improve and should be considered the favorites to win the division by Eagles fans and the rest of the world. There are some question marks going into the season surrounding the Eagles like overall team health and defensive ability but I still think (with no major, unexpected injuries), they are the team to beat in the division.

They have some unanswered problems remaining from last season. They lost TO who was one of their biggest threats. There were reports that Owens hurt them in the locker room but he still produced huge numbers on the field and they haven’t done enough to replace him. Roy Williams, their big acquisition from last season, did nothing for them last year and had no chemistry with Romo so he’s not even a lock to perform well. On top of that, they had a pretty bad draft.
They missed the playoffs last season and got demolished by the Birds in week 17. I don’t see them getting much further this year. It’s sad when your biggest offseason improvement is your QB dumping his girlfriend.
