i_am_the_swammi Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Pats getting embarrased here....Demps with a KO return, 4 plays later, Deshaun with a punt return. Speed kills. Homerism aside, the Eagles look absolutely outstanding in all aspects tonight. If Dawkins is OK, tonight is a pretty good pringboard into the season.

Seahawks21 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 For some reason John Clayton is incredibly high on the Eagles this year. I can't really figure out why. Sure they have some proven veterans, but aren't there still major questions on defense and WR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 For some reason John Clayton is incredibly high on the Eagles this year. I can't really figure out why. Sure they have some proven veterans, but aren't there still major questions on defense and WR? they added DL depth in Clemons, and Samuel to the CB positon which may have created the best secondary in football (certainly, one of the top 3). At WR, last night is a snapshot of how this offense is supposed to work, and what has made them successful for many years: 1st half, 7 different receivers. the Eagles spent the 1st half of last season with an immobile QB coming of major reconstructive knee surgery. The final 8 games of the season, when he was fully healthy, they went 6-2 with wins at Dallas and at New Orleans in huge games for them, and narrow losses to the Pats (in NE) and the Giants (Akers hit the upright from 52 yards on a game-winning FG). They gelled exceptionally down the stretch, and missed the playoffs by one game, finishing 8-8. As with any team, injuries will be the deciding factor. I see them very similar to SD this year. Both have stud RBs, both have very capable QBs, both have marginal talent at WR that is used effectively anyway, both have former Pro Bowl TEs, and both have Top 10 defenses.

Bronco Billy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Well, I guess the question of whether the Pats' success is due to Brady or Belicek is being answered. NE is nothing more than a mediocre team at best without Tom Terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE is nothing more than a mediocre team at best without Tom Terrific. While I will agree that the O needs him, and needs him badly, the D is different. They have run the most vanilla D's so far this pre-season, with last night's couple of third down blitzes being the first in three games. They also don't gameplan for pre-season games at all. They look at zero film and put zero effort into stopping specific aspects of the opponents offenses. What they use the pre-season for on D is player evaluations and making sure they're where they are supposed to be when they're supposed to be there. All said, this team could still be a playoff team in that didvision with an average QB and a gameplanning D, imo. Unfortunatley, the current back-up Qb is well below average. But trust me, I pray we never have to find out if I'm right or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Pat!!! Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Wasn't at the game, but have watched all three games so far. Cassell is brutal. 15 posessions and no TD drives lead for him yet. My prediction: Matt Cassell does not make this team. Gutierrez goes in as the number two unless a veteran gets cut that will come cheap, and O'Connell is put on the PS. If Gut just doesn't throw three picks in the last game, it's his job, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
