mords how do we feel this year?

nervous about vickjuries, silly hopeful about philly qb of future foles, cautiously excited for new football! i think it'll be okay. they'll play better than last year. i'm pretty sure.

i feel similar! reading that thing you posted a month ago. hoping it'll make a 'turn'?

apparently lurie maybe kinda said that if iggles go 8-8 again reid is out of a job

i love andy man i just don't know. he's like my dad

coincidentally my dad also loves andy. but then again he was a huge asante fan

yeah, keep him forever afaic

i didn't post anything on this thread but westbrook retiring as eagle moved me so much. i know it's routine for that kind of guy and i should've known it would happen, but i was still uncertain. i don't know why it matters to me but it does.

same with dawkins! but yeah, westbrook was a special player and seemed like a good guy, i probably felt closer to him than any other eagle since i've been old enough to care other than maybe mcnabb obv. tra thomas did the same thing this summer too

shady is so gonna break his records tho

aw man the end of that kinda kills me

As for Vick, Reid said he thought the quarterback was “rusty.” But at no point did he consider pulling Vick and going with rookie Nick Foles.

“No, I thought he had to work through it,” Reid said. “He’s our quarterback, so you’ve got to do that. The game’s fast, and it picks up even off of the preseason. He didn’t have any preseason. It’s a fast game. This was an important game for him to get in and play and endure and toughen it out, which he did. That’s what you saw.”

today was rough, but i'm happy they won. defense looked as good as i'd hoped. offense troubling but idk. at least he didn't get injured.

sadly otm, i think we might be fucked

:(

i still have hope

my brother has almost convinced me that the phillies could still make the playoffs

well at least he knows!

The Eagles plan to lead the league in everything this year. First in yards, and in yards allowed. First in sacks, and sacks allowed. First in giveaways and takeaways. First in questions raised about their own quarterback, and about opposing quarterbacks. First in two-minute warnings (they have that one sewn up). The Eagles are so extreme that if they end up .500, it will be with a 16-16 record.

http://www.phillymag.com/eagles/2012/10/16/eagles-fire-castillo-promote-bowles/

look for them to rip off a massive winning streak now

andy dropping hints left + right that he's ready to try something new at qb position too

You know, Juan's seeming like the nicest dude ever has made it really hard for me to come to terms with how frustrating this defense has been, but after this week's "yeah, we're kinda dominating Calvin Johnson TOO much, let's mix it up a bit so he doesn't get too comfortable being dominated", I think it's time for a change. So sick of watching this defense play well for three quarters and then just shut the fuck down for the 4th.

otm

I feel like Vick has already entered his Donny McNabb phase and will tank two more NFL franchises before he finally retires (and the Vikings are a lock to be one of them, somehow)

he threw one pass this sunday at a receiver's foot that was legit mcnabb-esque

this should have happened last summer

I guess the DC was responsible for Vick losing 13 fumbles in 13 games. Makes sense.

Much better him than Billick.

WHOA!

Holy jesus christ

that boston story is outstanding

boston globe, scuse me

i'm really excited to see chip kelly coaching shady + brown. that should be explosive.

I predict that if Kelly gets the organization, assistant coaches and players to buy into his system enthusiastically, you'll see some damned exciting football next season. The biggest resistance may come from older veteran players with a lot of mileage on their bodies, but who still are starters. The new pace is really going to challenge them.
