i don't see a part of the schedule that looks particularly hard. they even get a week and a half rest before playing the pats.

[hunt]

diddy has been bitter all offseason.  he & the rest of the philly media must hate that chip doesn't bow down to them & goes outside the box with his moves.  if we don't understand the moves, they must be bad. 

[ice grillin you]

he may very well be right about bradford but it wont have anything to do with the schedule...that reasoning is just stupid...id also like to see bradford actually make it far enough to play some of the schedule before i worry about how hes gonna do against it

[Eagles_Legendz]

Bradford's leg will probably detach before September, but if the insinuation is that Foles could take this team to 10 wins with this schedule but Bradford can't beat anyone, that's pretty dumb.

This team has problems and Bradford is a cripple, but IF he's on the field, like Diddy is presuming, I don't see how it's some gigantic drop from Foles.

[hunt]

yep...i don't see bradford sucking worse than foles when he's on the field.  the question is how many games he'll be on the field.

[smeags]

if i recall i dont think diddy has ever been a fan of bradford which may explain his opinion vs having foles(who he's liked).

regardless of the reason(s) he gave i dont see this team making the playoffs. too many IFs right now.

[phattymatty]

can someone tell me why this team is worse than last year? i can't seem to find a reason.

Other than WR that is.

If Bradford gets hurt, the QB who started half of last season comes in. not ideal but I still think this roster is better than the team who was at one point 9-3 last year.

1.  One of Matthews / Cooper is the #1 receiver.
2.  Sam Bradford's knees are put together with duct tape and spitballs.  Mark Sanchez is still Mark Sanchez.
3.  Age 40+ Brian Dawkins would be the best safety on the team.
4.  Kelly may be putting together the best M*A*S*H unit in the history of the NFL.

Overall, I'm having a hard time getting a feeling about how this roster will do.  They very well may improve if Bradford can become/stay healthy, Murray is as advertised and Kelly can find a WR in the draft.  But it also wouldn't surprise me if the Eagles took a dive next season,either.

Plus I'm a Philly fan.  I'm conditioned to think the worst.  Somehow Phreak escaped that fate.

lol life's too short to be negative!

[ice grillin you]

offensive line is worse and a year older

everyone they acquired is an injury concern

qb is a mess...imo bradford does hold some more hope at the position than foles but overall compared to this time last year the position is in worse shape because of the health factor

wr's are an absolute joke

depth is horrendous...especially along the lines

defense should be better but not so much better that its made up for the mess on offense they created...going buck wild in the draft on some promising wr's would make a difference and close the gap

to think this years team is as good or better than last years at this time youd have to buy into the notion that chip is a genius and no matter what they have on offense he will make it work and you have to believe that everyone they got with an injury history will stay healthy and play to their ability

[Rome]

No chance the draft picks help.

[PhillyPhreak54]

You're right bc they're trading all pickzzz for Mariota
