The Philadelphia Eagles are going to suck in 2011 thread

[DH]

it would be retarded not to bring him back and see what he can do 2 years removed from the tear.

um, no it wouldnt. even if he can do what it is he did before the injury, that still makes him an average lb at best. its time to get some real players at the lb position, and not this same shtein that has been recycled for years on end.

[ice grillin you]

keeping bradley would be fine if you upgraded at both of the outside spots...when healthy hes their best linebacker

but to say he isnt replacebale or that it would be retarded to not bring him back is silly

[DH]

when healthy hes their best linebacker

cmon, you know that aint saying much

[SD]

I'd bring everybody back (assuming they're still under contract), sign some F/As and draft some players and let them all fight it out in camp. I'd bring Stewie back because lets be honest they're not going to address the LB position so we might as well stick with someone competent there. I'd still like to see him moved to SAM with Chaney in the middle to see if it could work.

With that, here's players I'd like to see upgraded:
RT/Justice
RG/Cole/MJG
CB-I think Patterson/Hanson/Lindley are fine for nickel guys
SS-Keep Mikell as a backup
LB
DE

Realistically speaking I think they'll again address the defense through the draft. I'd love to see them sign some F/A defensive players then add depth through the draft.

Also I think they get at least a 1st if not more for Kolb.

cmon, you know that aint saying much

definitely...im just saying hes the last of the lb's youd upgrade and since it isnt realistic that they are goin to go out and get upgrades at all three spots then bradley is the one you have stay put and try to build on both sides of him

[rjs246]

Exactly. You don't start addressing the LB problem by replacing the best player, even if he isn't all that good.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yeah, but he's a free agent.

And lol at the idea of Mikell returning as a backup.  That ain't happening.

[mussa]

Your kidding me, how many terrible punts did Rocca have go 30 yards or less down field in the last 4 games. At least one a game, if not more. Field position isn't important or anything, my bad. Your all right.

I haven't really seen much Akers hate here, but I've heard a bunch from friends who don't post here.  Does anyone here actually blame Akers at all for the loss?  Serious question.  Because I've heard a lot of "If Akers makes those kicks, the Eagles win."  Which is true.  But if you're going to "what if" the outcome, then you also have do the same for James Jones dropping 6 points.  So basically, each team left 7 points on the field and the Eagles still lose by 5.   

[ice grillin you]

Yeah, but he's a free agent.

so is sims and for all intents and purposes so is foku since his contract is worth peanuts...all their linebackers theoretically could and/or should be replaced...however realistically you probably arent going to have new guys at all three lb positions...thus you rank in order of who is coming back like this

1. bradley...the best of the bunch knows the system is the defensive captain and plays a position that is the least prone to being taken advantage of

2. sims...only been here one year so theres no history or connection to the team played like shtein and is a free agent

3. foku...special teamer who is only playing because of how pathetic their options at the position are

Add in Chad Lewis's dumb ass for stepping out of bounds and now you're down to 3 which would have meant the Eagles tying the game instead of Vick lobbing it up in the corner of the endzone.

Everyone deserves the blame. The game just didn't go the Eagles way, they haven't for some time now. This comes back to luck/coaching/talent.

he obviously deserves some blame...but while the math works (16 plus six is indeed greater than 21) sports doesnt work like that...you dont know how green bay would have changed their game plan had akers made the first kick...or maybe instead of missing the fg and giving green bay the ball on the 35 he makes the the fg and green bay returns the kickoff for a td...or they bobble the kick off the eagles pin them inside the 10 sack fumble and the eagles get seven out of it...its just way deeper than adding six to the eagles final score and frankly people who look at sports like that are simpletons

I was wondering the same thing. I don't at all. The first miss was expected, especially with 30mph winds. The offense should score TDs and not leave it up to a foot.

I thought he did it on purpose
