If they go 0-16 I’d surely be disappointed. But not suicidal like in other years . So nice to feel relaxed this year.

It really is. I can’t actually feel the difference and this off-season has been so fun to just sit back and enjoy.

For sure. I waited 44 years. I had to switch off the radio the other day when both nimrods were going off about Doug making book appearances after—gasp!—a preseason loss. I mean the nerve of him! LOL. I’m sure these clowns need “hot takes” for ratings but jeez. Relax fellas. This one ring is worth more cache than I would have believed. I really want to see Wentz win one. I know we all do. And I think he has a good chance but hey, ya never know ya know? I’m still on cloud 9...

Good for Doug, good for Foles, good for all of us in the same long suffering boat. Screw this preseason. We’ll be back with Wentz at some point. #SuperBowlChamps

Totally.  I'm actually going to allow some of my friends over for an Eagles game this year or may even head to a pub for one.  Up until now I've only allowed myself to watch Eagles games alone at my house.

Hahaha! You know that’s probably really true of a lot of us LOL! I watched the Super Bowl with only my wife and daughter. I couldn’t bare anyone else to be there.

Ya my ritual is phone off, alone for the game, and usually I stand for the whole thing.  Way too superstitious and intense when watching a game to be around people and the only 2 times I had in the last 3 years we lost.  My friends just know to not even ask to make plans for an Eagles game.  This year I'll probably watch the opener with some people.

My 72 year old dad and my brother drove 3 hours in a snow and ice storm so we could all watch it together along with my son and daughter.  First time the 3 generations of us watched an Eagles game together.  I still tear up thinking about how special that day was for all of us.

 
I know I'm probably gonna get hounded for this, but I am starting to not feel good about winning week 1.  Alshon will be out, Ajayi seems to have some mysterious injury that could be worse than it sounds, and I'm starting to get more and more of a feeling that Wentz isn't going to be cleared.  Atlanta is also going to be pissed off and hungry and ready to make a huge statement.

hounded for what?  anyone rational can see that the team is not in a good place overall right now and obviously the various injuries are disconcerting.  I'm not concerned about the overall season, but as of now, things certainly don't look rosy for week 1.

Ya exactly my thoughts.  And I dunno, sometimes the second you mention something SLIGHTLY negative you'll get attacked haha.  Need2know doesn't seem to agree about week 1.

I like our long term outlook for sure and should win the division.  But like you say, right now it's a bit dicey and a hungry Falcons team looking for revenge isn't exactly going to be our best opponent right now.  Still put it 50/50 that we'll win and will obviously cheer for us, but everything seems to be lining up for not a good opening night.

See, now, here you go...all these superstitious rituals, and they actually work to bring you a Super Bowl victory. 

Then you go and abandon them the very next season.  No wonder it’s so hard for teams to win back-to-back.  Their fans let them down on the supernatural front.

:P

anyone who needs the bolded spelled out should be permabanned from this thread, IMO...

Hopefully the defense can put up a good show and keep it close, giving us a chance to pull it out.  I kind of doubt Carson plays.

Haha I don't need to be permabanned.  There's been many instances in here where being rationally a bit skeptical about the team winning a game has been replied to with being called 'not a true fan'.

Ya It'll all be on the D. And they're nasty so they should keep us in it.  Would be the under on the game.

 
State of the Franchise Eagles Edition

First of all I would not let our preseason have any indication on how our season will be.

We haven't showed anything to tip off any team except an 8 man blitz.

Our offense has been very, very vanilla.

This team has deserved to have an off season and enjoy every minute of it.

We need to give these guys just a little slack.

When the time comes to play we will be ready to answer the call.

I honestly see us in the Superbowl again. 

We may have a slow start to this season but once we get healthy watch out.

This team will fight.

I see us running 12 personal a lot.

Goedert is going to open this whole thing up.

Jeffery being out will hurt us a bit but we have all we need.

Besides Mailata one player I hope makes the cut is Josh Adams.

Adams reminds me of Buckhalter right now.

Our defense looks fantastic.

I know preseason doesn't show it but you see the devastation potential in every game so far.

When we have our complete package it's going to be nasty.

Atlanta better be ready because the Eagles are going this open this up in a huge way.

I see this first game as a statement game for the rest of the season. 

You play Philly, you better prepare for an a.s.s. whoop'n.

About which part?

We aren't going to go 16-0.  I just think without those pieces on the field, and given the circumstances, this will be one of the games we might lose.  Doesn't mean I'm down on the team.

So you’ve deliberately chosen to watch the game with friends knowing the historical consequences of such a decision....and then you come in here predicting a loss?? Can we undo this travesty?

fiiiiiiiiine I'll watch alone :P

 
Sounds looks like he got involved pretty soon after entering the league. And was pretty naive. (Not defending him; acknowledges he knew it was wrong.)
Via Charles Johnson: "On the Mychal Kendricks complaint, when you make massive returns on stock options in 4 companies and all 4 companies were advised by the same investment bank, it sticks out like a sore thumb to the SEC. Feds had a yellow brick road of electronic surveillance & digital footprint....his Mychal Kendricks complaint is jaw-dropping. Government spells out how he literally - literally...not figuratively - turned $80,000 in a brokerage account into $1,200,000 in less than five months. And he basically paid $10k in kickbacks to do it. Gordon Gekko was less brash."

First time the league will have to address white collar crime?

This year and over the past year I haven't gone to a bar to watch the game. I had a spot but they closed and found myself getting distracted from the game for the most part. Last year I saw every game at home (Work let me have my Sunday's unless the game was the Night one) and SB Sunday I worked (Boy was I a wreck at work that day) till 5. Sat in the same spot for every game by myself in the basement. My mom wanted me to watch the SB with her but I said no way. I did spend the final min or so of the SB with her though.

Are we sure he's sincere or just another "I'm sorry I got caught" guys. Wonder if the Eagles knew anything about this already or if the Browns will let him go. I know they are trying to change culture and no he's not the greatest player but cutting a guy who was on a SB winning team a year before from his new team is a statement made to other players the past of player issues won't be tolerated.

Do you really question whether the Eagles knew about the 4 year old issue with Kendrick?? :lmao:

 
And Kendricks can now be referred to Ex Brown

I don't have a good feeling about week #1 either.  We're still so banged up from last year.  I don't think you want Wentz in there either, has the starting O-line even played one game together?  I think we're going to start out slowly to the year.

I think it's a lock he's on the practice squad this year.  The hope with him is to see what he can do with a few years of training.  Still quite a longshot to ever play, but you never know.

Looks like I was wrong that he's a practice squad lock, dude's got a legit shot at the 53.

from the bgg article:

Pro Football Focus has Mailata graded as the eight best offensive Eagles player this summer. The massive Australian has only allowed three pressures (one sack, two hurries) in 60 snaps played. By comparison, Halapoulivaati Vaitai has allowed 13 pressures in 140 snaps played. Other players who’ve allowed more pressure than Mailata include: Matt Pryor (9 in 115 snaps), Taylor Hart (7 in 108), Isaac Seumalo (6 in 130), and Chance Warmack (5 in 115).

Someone else would snatch him up before he got to the PS, and IR is bad since he needs the reps.  He'll be inactive every week and keep learning.  Dude looks like he could be a huge find.  Howie can do no wrong!

 
He said at press conference this week he'd know by Friday, but not announce til game day. Other than gamesmanship, I guess it gives him opportunity to change his mind according to how Wentz is doing.

 
From Ross Tucker:

I no longer think 21 year old Aussie LT Jordan Mailata is going to be a starting LT in the NFL.

I think he's going to be All-Pro.

Borderline obsessed with this dude at this point.  This is crazy.

Eagles are going to go right from Peters to Peters Jr.

I think the D is gonna suffocate Atlanta. Unless some shiza happens with the helmet rule, I can a see a similar score from the playoff game.
