I'm going to go out on a limb and say, "yes" they're going to eventually beat someone at home.
Vick returns and the Eagles win big.
I can feel it.
I'll feel better (and also dumber) about a win next week if the Giants win tonight.
I thought they were gonna kick the snot out of the Cowboys yesterday so what do I know.
touchdown favorites, O/U 54.5
perfect over/under as 2 offensive juggernauts battle it out. this is going to be exciting.
this map tells you just how bad the nfc east is right now

Recap of Randall bouncing off Banks and Byars nailing Pepper

Two of the biggest hits in Eagles history (Byars & Sheldon Brown vs. Reggie Bush) were both announced by the indescribably awful Dick Stockton. I know this because I just watched both videos. Stockton didn't even notice the hit by Byars until the replay. Same thing with Brown. farging lame ass.
QuoteEven after last week's clunker against the Cowboys, the Eagles' offense still stacks up pretty favorably in most statistical categories.
Football Outsiders has the Birds' offense eighth. They're third in yards (425.3 per game), third in yards per play (6.2) and 12th in points (24.1 PPG).
But CBS analyst Phil Simms is unimpressed with what he's seen so far. During a segment on Showtime's Inside the NFL, Simms listed the Eagles' offense as one of his bottom-five units in the league.
"I put the Philadelphia Eagles, their offense, in my bottom five," Simms said. "Why? Not that they're one of the worst five units in the NFL. It's because it's gonna be one of the most fastest thing we've ever seen, and what are you gonna do to stop it? The NFL, it's gonna be unbelievable. That's all I ever heard, and how's it working out? Is it just the most unbelievable thing?"
The segment had analysts choose their top-five and bottom-five units (offense or defense) in the league. Of a possible 64 units, Simms had the Eagles' offense at No. 60. The only two offenses he listed below them were the Cardinals (No. 62) and Jaguars (No. 64).
Simms joined the Jon & Sean Show on 97.5 The Fanatic today and expanded on his thoughts on Chip Kelly and the Eagles.
"I think what we've seen has been unique a little bit. I am intrigued," he said. "Most importantly, I think I am more intrigued about how he is gonna adjust, change and what we will see next year when we watch the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm not gonna lie. I have not watched the Eagles on the coaches tape or anything else. I've only watched them on TV because I haven't had any crossover games with 'em yet. I'm not gonna do any of their games either this season. I'd like to see it on film more to have more of a deep assessment of what they're doing. So I'm holding a little judgement. I'm not disappointed in what they've done.
"Week 1, what'd we see? We saw the Eagles do well in an opening game, really well, against now that we know a really, really bad defense. So it's typical of everybody, myself included. We are prisoners of the moment. And we thought, oh this is gonna be the greatest thing the NFL has ever seen. And I think we all know, can we all stop that there's no such thing as the greatest thing coming to the NFL? There's no such thing. The league adjusts very fast to everything."
As Simms mentioned, the Eagles do not have any more games on CBS this season.
That's a pretty dumb assessment by Simms. You don't need to say the Eagles are revolutionizing football to still agree the offense has been pretty good.
Not only that but Simms couldn't even string a coherent sentence together while trying to make some idiotic, inaccurate point. CTE in the house.
im not the biggest chipper fan in the world but whenver you hear criticism of him you never hear that this is his first year and that he has putrid quarterbacks to work with....
if he even makes it that far can he at least assemble his own offense with a guy he wants running it before its fully critiqued

By Simms' logic, the Seahawks have a bottom five defense, because I thought it was going to be better than it is.
The Eagles are going to win today, right?
I get to see the game though, so probably not.
Eagles - 33
Giants - 17
eagles 31
eli manning's vagina 13
i dont know
Eli's Man-tits 42
Chip's Shrunken Testicles 17
Just have a bad feeling about this game.
You had one job, Vick. One job!
Yay Vick!
home crowd sucks..no noise at all, Eli can communicate no problem
New drinking game; every time the defense makes a tackle, take a drink.

lol
Vick gives less of a shtein than the crowd right now.
Phil Simms was right.
jesus chip is clueless
Look how awesome the Eagles offense is when they play a team for a 2nd time.
I find myself caring less and less every week.
Barkley's going back in, this are about to get interesting again. Horrible, but interesting!
Matt Barkley time lol
Matt Barkley sucks. So does Nick Foles. So does Michael Vick.
The crowd went nuts for a completed pass. This must be what it feels like to live in Cleveland.
Good riddance to Vick.
Suddenly the offense is ten times better. Still expecting them to farg up this drive somehow.
Barkley doing work.
And there it is.
There it is.
run the ball inside the 2 you farging funhole chip
same dumbass play calling, slightly not fatter coach
He's fat enough.
Could Vick be less interested when he's not in the game? The f'n team is driving and he's moping.
Barkley almost resembled an NFL quarterback there for a half minute or so.
Then Matt Barkley remembered who he really is...
I'm surprised they weren't more aggressive in trying to get the ball downfield there. They had a minute on the clock and all 3 to's when that drive started.

Eh.....that's more on Chip than Barkley. Terrible play call that close to the goal line.
is there some kind of prerequisite to be the eagles coach that you have to be a horrible play caller?
i cannot understand for the life of me how this team can be so bad inside the 5. you have a great rb and a solid line. jesus christ this isnt rocket science.
Barkley has four turnovers on his four NFL drives...WOOF WOOF!
And farg Chip for not running the ball there. You gotta get points, icehole. farg you and your shteinass offense

Sums it up well.
im not even sure if chip will learn from his mistakes....hes had people telling him hes a genius for 7 years. you think hes going to change after 1 year with three zesty qbs?
im OUT. picking a new team.

He wasn't interested when he was in the game either.
This is laughable.
Barkley continues his streak of ending every drive with a turnover. Yay.
fire chip
Cruz just got Dawkplexed
Jackson. Still an idiot.
Yah really...fall forward you douche.
That about sums up the day
disband team now
Gutless farging cowards.
This team isn't worth the price of GF's "extralegal" feed.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm real excited for the next Skins game.
lol
Fletcher Cox is really excited.
They avoided the shutout! Woo!
lololololol
That Chip Kelly offense will always find a way to score!
I can't wait to see Eli hit Cruz on a shallow crossing route here.
Or Meyers.
Celebrate that tackle for a loss when you've lost the farging game. YEAH!
15 points given up should equal automatic win.
This was as gutless a performance as I've ever seen.
Good loss. Can't imagine the NYG not winning at least two more games. :yay
this was the first game in years that i didn't watch a single second of or even check the score until it was over. i'm ok with the decision.
