The Running Backs, Wide Receivers and other offensive questionmarks...

[SD_Eagle5]

Why are YOU assuming that they're going to fail?

Reid's going on his 8th year as our HC, and aside from the year TO was taking his meds. we fans have been unhappy with the slop he's thrown out there at WR. What do YOU see this year that's any different? I see:
A 2nd year guy with unlimited potential
A bunch of rookies with some potential
A gimpy pole who relies on speed to stretch the field but clearly won't have that this season
A slot possession receiver who is struggling to learn the offense

Call me a pessimist, but the above isn't exactly a recipe for a great WR core.

[phattymatty]

obviously we're all retards.  it's so sad.

i'm changing my mind.  i'd rather wait until next year to get another WR.

the season's already a waste anyway, with bunkley's holdout and all.

You believe what you want and I'll believe what I want.

How's that?

That's great, Dave.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yeah, the only thing missing is the tagline, "I'm going to trust the FO."

[Rome]

You guys are right.  I should have faith in you and your mindless negativity than the front office and coaching staff who won 11 or more games five years in a row.

PS.  Pinkston role on the Eagles in Madden 07 is as the injury prone player, since his toughness and injury have fallen below a certain number... :-p

It's hilarious that you're calling it "mindless" negativity when your support/positivity is clearly mindless.  I have been more than willing to give this front office its due in the past and today, but I look at each decision and situation separately.  Whereas, it's obvious you mindlessly assume that every decision they make is stellar simply because they put a good run together for 5 straight years.

Pull your head out of your ass and take each decision and each situation for what it is.  By your logic, Donovan McNabb could never have a bad game because he's a great QB.  Meaning, your logic sucks.

think why there is negativity Rome. is it that everyone is just a cynic? are you being overly optomistic just so you can prove evryone wrong if they do fantastic?

Or...can you not see the talent we have compared to others in our division? Nobody is saying you have to agree with everyone else, but cmon--talent prevails in this league not crossing your fingers and hoping. but hey...keep on rootin on...I know I will

As I said before, why does the FO have so much confidence in these guys?  I don't know why they didn't try harder to get Moulds or Walker or Lelie, when they got a loser (Lewis) and total unknowns (everyone else) on their roster.  Maybe they didn't think that those guys could significantly improve over what we have.  Maybe they didn't want to pay that much money, or had character issues.  Who knows.

What I do know is they're taking a big gamble with this season, if as McNabb has said they expect to be a SB team.  At this point they have to say they're fine.

From my perspective it's a win-win.  Either that confidence is justified, they have a terrific season, and maybe get the Lombardi.  Or, they go 6-10 again (or worse) and I get my shot at season tickets which I can rape people for on RazorGator.  Things are looking up.

Andy has taken us within 3pts of a Superbowl win, and in the playoffs for 6 of his 8 years.

Until proven otherwise In Andy I Trust (but PLEASE bring in another RB for depth)

[General_Failure]

I honestly think this team is, right now, with no major injuries, good enough to lose the NFCCG.

[MadMarchHare]

I don't know GF.  Thrash, Pinkston, and Mitchell had proven their ability to lose the NFCCG.  These guys still got something to prove.

[The BIGSTUD]

Lelie sucks.

Adding a subpar player to a position where there are question marks doesn't improve the team, IGY.  It only ensures that the players as a group at the position will remain mediocre.

We have no idea what Avant, Baskett, Brown, Gaffney et al. will produce during the season.  We know Lelie won't produce more than Todd Pinkston.  Do you really want to add a subpar, one-trick-pony to the mix?

Aside from Brown what WR on this roster would you take over Lelie?

I'm not saying Baskett is all that, but if Baskett starts, I bet you he has better numbers than Lelie in Atlanta this year.
