Listening to Didinger and Macnow--what five games are the Eagles going to lose?

[bobbyinlondon]

These guys are picking the Eagles to go 11-5, even though BOTH said the Eagles haven't gotten noticeably worse than last year. So what 5 games are they going to lose?

[PhillyGirl]

They won't. They go 12-4.

[Rome]

And the only reason they'll go 12-4 is because they'll sit the starters again during the final two weeks of the season.

Whatever, though.  Ray Diddy's entitled to his opinion.

Ray Didinger, as smart of a football guy as he is, picked the Eagles to go 11-5 or worse last year as well. Just an FYI. I remember he was getting shtein for it on the Post Game show when they were 7-0.

[Rome]

The only way this team loses five games is if they experience a rash of injuries or if they wrap up HFA with 3 games to play.

When some of these sports writers prognosticate they always pick a low ball number. No one is going to predict a 14-2 or 13-3 season. They want to leave room for error and not seem like total homers.

agreed.

R Diddy wants to say 16-0, his proffession wont let him.

Ray is the most enjoyable football guy to listen to on the radio, he's never a jerk to dumb callers and he really knows the game inside and out.

Yes, thank you. We've all said it for years and we all know it. Doesn't mean his predictions are gold.

[bobbyinlondon]

Thanks guys and girls.

no kidding, where in my sentence did you see me saying that?  i was merely commenting on Ray as a radio guy. 

but, "you've all said it for years" so why would anybody else want to voice their opinon 

[WEST is GOD]

Looking at the schedule, we are better than every team on there. I only see a few challenging games.

Agreed. I enjoy listening to him for football and Jolovitz for baseball/college football. Even though Paul gets stupid sometimes.

RDiddy's new book is out now - Eagles Encyclopedia.

[WEST is GOD]

I love when hosts are jerks to dumb callers. It's hilarious. I don't know why that pisses so many people off, like when Howard and people do it. I never knew we had such sensitive people here.

Didinger is good to listen to, but Paul Jolovitz pisses me off. For someone who talks about not being politically correct all the time, he's the most politically correct guy I've ever heard. If someone calls up and says something like "I got my heart broken by the Phils loss." He'll say something like you don't get your heart broken by sports, you get your heart broken by the hurricane tragedy. No Paul, shut up.

[Stanley Kubrick]

I enjoy Ray as well. He brings great insight and knowledge to his show. He's probably figuring two losses when AR sits the starters after wrapping up homefield.
