Dont guys who hold out usually come in and start off a little slow? Regardless of that...his OL isn't exactly good.

Pace re-injured the shoulder in pre-season although still playing with it

They can double him...who else is going to beat them?

This is a team they need to smash.

Because if they come out and barely win, then we'll hear "they could barely beat them stinkin Rams!"

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

Yeah, really, I mean, there's only 48 YEARS of history to go by.

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.

I spit up my beer laughing on that

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.

You're not being objective.  You're being deliberately negative for whatever reason.  I mean, you're entitled to say or think whatever you want about the Eagles, but in this particular instance, I think you're wrong.  The Eagles are going to blow out the Rams, and yeah, I think the Eagles are a lot better than the general consensus around here.

Sue me for being optimistic.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I think the Eagles are better than they're thought of by the masses around here.  I also think the Rams are better than how they're portrayed in this thread. 

I expect the Eagles to win... but not by 21... and I damn sure won't be pissed if they don't blow them out.  Just get the W... cuz there's a decent to good chance the Eagles start out 1-2 anyway (Cowboys, Steelers next).

ice grillin you

the eagles will win but i suspect closer to the number rather than 21+

i see very little in thier front seven that would scare any team even one with a pretty poor offensive line

im not sure any teams in the nfl win by more than 21 this week

i certainly wouldnt predict any of them too


oh and birds will be 9-7 this year
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous

i think they get 10 wins, maybe even 11...but this one is a close one

Throughout the off-season I've been saying 9-7 but I think the Giants are a lot weaker now than they were so I think 10-6 sounds about right. Of course if everything clicks/falls apart that could easily be 12 wins or 6 wins, but as is I would say that 10 wins is about right.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

Feva

11-5... with nothing going terribly wrong.  12-4 if things go really well.  7-9 if things go bad.
