anything less than a 21 point win is a disappointment?

jesus christ, put down the kool aid.

there's a chance they lose this game.  they suck in openers to start, and St. Louis has some offensive firepower.

I'll settle for any sort of win and a lack of injuries.  The Eagles are notoriously slow-starters, and they can't afford to let this one slip.

rams worst team in football?

not over the chiefs, niners, ravens, or falcons. at least the rams have a QB, WR, and RB on offense who play at or close to a probowl level.

traditional slow lazy starts by the eagles plus the fact they will open up the game in shotgun leads me to believe it will be a lot closer than eagles fans would wish it be.

eagles win but it will be close like 21-14.

Shocking that any sort of optimism is met here with scorn and derision.

you didn't get the memo? 

I don't see the birds scoring more than 20.  They should still win.  20 - 13 with Rams scoring late to make it look close.

saying that "anything less than a 21pt win would be a disappointment." is not optimism, it's ridiculousness

QB Eagles

Lito's bitching again.

QuoteSheppard is injury-free heading into the Philadelphia Eagles' season opener against St. Louis, so why isn't he starting?

"That's a good question," Sheppard said Monday. "You should ask that right now. Given the reasons supposedly about my injuries and not being able to stay on the field, with that not being an issue, what is the issue?"

Just a thought, but it might have something to do with the Pro Bowler they brought in to replace you. Did you think the Eagles were going to release him since you didn't get injured this preseason?

Quote"Me not starting, that's the biggest propaganda," Sheppard said.

Wash out your vadge and get ready to play a full season of football.

mpmcgraw

I don't think Sheppard knows what propaganda means.

Don Ho

Lito doesn't know what alot of things mean.

Pretty sure I never said anything of the sort.

What I said was I would be pissed off if they didn't blow out the Rams.  Everyone here should be because (1) the Rams suck ass, and (2) the Eagles are much better than they are.

Again, though, it just wouldn't be  :CF  if there wasn't pessimism or outright forecasting of doom going on.

SunMo

you didn't say it, but Jay did, and that's what i was reacting too

to expect the Eagles to blow anybody out in an opener is just silly, they don't play well in openers and Rams are better than you think.  they had a ton of injuries last year and just because they were bad last year doesn't mean they are going to be terrible this year.

but sorry to bring a little objectivity to your "eagles are the bestest!" party.  i forgot that objectivity = pessimism.

They should pound the shtein out of this team.

What offensive fire power?

Bulger who cant stand in the pocket because he has no protection?
Jackson who held out forever?

SunMo

yeah, Jackson probably forgot all the plays during his holdout

and Orlando Pace missed all of last year and is back this year, that's kind of a big piece

Torry Holt?  nah, can't play
