Thoughts...

1. The defense is terrible.  It's not just that they don't have any talent; it's more the talent they have is so pitiful they can't even do the simple things right.  Can't tackle, can't cover, etc... they are going to be absolutely brutal.  Jacksonville is hideous and they shredded them with the first team in the game.  It's just a crying shame that a franchise that is know for great defenses has allowed this to happen.

2. The offense has the potential to be explosive.  If they can somehow figure out how to farging hold onto the ball and not turn it over, they might put up 30-35 every week.    And with that defense they'll have to.

3. The special teams is going to be really good.  I don't think they're going to need to use Pimp back there because Johnson has it covered.  Just hold onto the ball, dipshtein.  I also liked what I saw from Henery.  He continues to impress.

4. Penalties.  It's not just that they seem to get them at the worst times, it's more they seem to be sloppy penalties.  I don't know how many times the Jags got first downs from them but it seemed like it happened quite a bit.  The holding calls on offense were ridiculous, but then again, they usually are.  It's going to be hard enough for this team to win but giving away free first downs to opposing offenses is just inexcusable.

5. I like the hurry up but I'd like to see a more traditional approach occasionally.  There's going to be times when this POS defense is going to need a break to collect themselves and if they go bang-bang-bang and out it might be disastrous for this team.  They're going to turn it over a lot with Vick in there anyway, so just gear it down once in a while.

6. I'm liking what I'm seeing from the offensive line especially in the run blocking.  Jacksonville is pitiful defensively but there were some monster holes to run through last night.  If Shady doesn't run for 1,200-1,500 yards this season, something is drastically wrong or Chippa might decide to use the two headed monster approach.  He should end up with 1,000 & 1,000.  And Brown is just a beast out there too.  Needs to goddamn hang onto the ball, though.  Jesus...  Not crazy about Polk but he did show something last night.

7. The defensive secondary is all-time awful.  I shudder to think what genuine opposing qb's are going to do against these shteinheads.   The front seven simply has to blitz on every down or at least do whatever they can to disrupt the quarterback because if not they might end up giving up 3 or 4 touchdowns a game.  To think this team used to have Dawkins, Samuel & Sheldon Brown and even further back they had Dawkins, Troy Vincent & Bobby Taylor, and now they have this garbage.  Just infuriating.

8. It was good to see Celek kick it up a notch last night.  He looked better than he has in quite a while.  Again... the competition was putrid but he looked better and that's a relief.  I like Zach Ertz too.

9. They could do worse than Nick Foles.  He's played better than Vick in every sense of the word, but like it or not this is Vick's team and Chippa played it beautifully.  Vick will end up getting killed anyway, so when Foles does eventually take over there shouldn't be a mutiny in the ranks.

10.  All in all this team seems to be exactly what they look like on paper.  A potentially explosive offense that is prone to mistakes (penalties & turnovers).  The defense looks like a collection of after school special retards without a hint of athleticism or nastiness.  Special teams look very good.  Still looking like a 6-8 win team to me although the defense might end up being so terrible that 4-6 might be a more reasonable expectation.  They're not going to be bad enough for Teddy B or Clowney and that makes me sad a little.  They could surprise us and really be horrible, though, so that's something to hope for, I guess.

the offense cant be explosive without a quarterback....just sayin

[Rome]

You're underestimating Foles.  He can be an effective game manager and he already looks like he knows the offense like he's been running it for a decade.  He's not Brady or Manning, obviously, but he's a legit NFL QB.  Like it or not he's probably the future of the team.

[ice grillin you]

yeah.....not
