The Philadelphia Eagles are going to suck in 2011 thread

[Don Ho]

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.   

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

Exactly.  Akers makes one or both of those, Packers change their gameplan.  Not including Jones dropped TD or huge gain at least, the Packers dropped their share of passes.

Jamar Chaney can play.

Chaney's a "nice" player.  I'm personally sick of them.  I want motherfarging beasts at linebacker.  You know, the kind who actually change a game with their play.

Clay Matthews was a relative non-factor yesterday (compared to week 1).  So there's that.

That would almost necessitate the Eagles drafting a LB in the 1st round which I'm not opposed to. They should probably take the best defensive player available with the No. 1 this year, regardless of what position he plays

i want to disagree and say they need to get a bangin right guard or tackle more than anything but this year is one of the worst Oline drafts ever

if by non factor you mean they had to put a new RT in the game because he was destroying Justice than I'd agree. He may have only had one sack and a few tackles but they didn't even bother running many plays towards his side of the field.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Dunlap looked good when he went in.  He also played well for Peters earlier this season.  Might be the best OT on the Eagles' roster.

I think the team is stuck with Peters.  Herremans is supposedly good.  They are going to try to convince us that McGlynn and Jackson will be an exciting camp battle, with the loser possible "getting in there to compete" at RG.  Then King takes over at RT.  No need for any linemen!  (or so we'll be told)

I can't wait for pitchers & catchers to report.

farg this farging corksucking team in the ass.  Hard.

Pouncey wouldn't be a bad pick for them.

I really start to feel uncomfortable watching King Dunlap play football.

You ever watch him kickstep backwards on pass pro? They have to lay new sod down on tv timeouts.

Ban?

[phillycrew]

Agreed.  Although they also desperately need a better corner and LB.  I wonder if Andy saw Matthews, Hawk and Nick Barnett making plays and he just shrugged and said that LB's don't matter.

[Seabiscuit36]

Was Nick Barnett making plays from the sideline or his house?
