PrintFormer Eagles coach Ryan battling cancer again
Former Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan is battling cancer, but plans to be in attendance to see his sons Rex and Rob coach when the Jets face the Cowboys on Sunday.
Sad to see yet another member of the Eagles family dealing with cancer. Remember that we're raising money for the American Cancer Society and giving away a pair of tickets to Eagles vs Cowboys.
DeVan just happy to be in Philadelphia - National voices - MercedSun-Star.com
By some strange twist of either fate or karma, DeVan landed the locker next to defensive tackle Trevor Laws, against whom he wrestled a titanic heavyweight match in high school, the actual outcome of which the two men have debated for more than eight years.

Rookie Lewis learning Eagles' approach to running the ball | Philadelphia Inquirer | 09/04/2011
In the Eagles offense, it's not as simple as just running at the first opening. Instead, the team wants running backs to take precise routes that force the defense's hand. If the backs can approach an opening in a way that makes the linebackers take a certain angle, offensive linemen will have an easier time anticipating, and making their blocks.

Tim Kawakami: Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens are Super Bowl picks - San Jose Mercury News
No drum roll, just the 2011 prediction: Philadelphia vs. Baltimore in Super Bowl 46, mark it down in permanent ink. OK, this is my pick mainly because I can't find as many reasons to eliminate these two as I can for the NFL's other 30 teams, so you might consider this backward thinking.

Rex Grossman plays for a few weeks,
then Shanahan puts in Beck during the final two minutes of a close game. When asked why, he will say that Beck is more familiar with the two minute drill.
Heard it here first folks.

I can find more reasons to eliminate the Eagles and Ravens vs teams like the Steelers and Packers

Simply put, the Steelers and Packers are more complete teams w/ less question marks on O + D

Both the Steelers and Packers have shitty offensive lines
It’s like a requisite in order to be a serious contender.
Defensively, the Steelers are strong up front, but weaker on the corners and incredibly strong at safety. The Packers are a relatively one-dimensional offense and have a defense with great corners, a perfectly average duo of safeties, a couple good linebackers, and a good nose tackle.
The Eagles have a shitty offensive line, a top-5 run game, a top-8 passing game, the most talented single unit in the NFL in their corners, a great defensive line, a perfectly average duo of safeties, and a good linebacker along with a completely untested rookie (ew).
Should be fun to watch it unfold.
That is what I was looking for. Someone to explain why they think what
they think.
I agree it will be fun to watch.
Cheers

Especially the Steelers.

You're right with the Offensive lines
but they still get it done. Obviously… the Steelers are playoffs mainstays the past decade, and have won it all with that shitty offensive line. The Packers won the SB last year, and are definitely the favorites to at least win the NFC North, if not the NFC.
Basically until someone knocks them off their pedestal they have to be considered the favorites… at least better than the Eagles and Ravens.
Oh, by the way, the Ravens haven’t beaten a Rothelisburger-led Steelers since 2006 and the Eagles haven’t reached a Super Bowl since ’04.
How about them Apples?

Shanahan
Where to begin? How about moron, for starters.
by sandiegoeaglesfan on Sep 6, 2011 8:06 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
He’s also recently proposed to his girlfriend, the one with whom he was involved while still married to his pregnant wife. So that’s good news.
Good news? For whom? This is one very odd sentence.
Jamie Dukes- First name is a girl’s, last name is a dog’s. That would make him Michael Vick’s BITCH.
Good for him.

Maybe im alone in this but I expect our defense to not give up a point to the rams
I say this because we havent played a game yet, im angry, I want to make all the media haters look stupid, and I like to dream big.
Stupid is a strong word…ill go with unproven.Only way we come out ahead is if we put a redskins type beating on them.
we come out ahead with a win
a simple NFL win
it doesn’t have to be big or pretty, we don’t have to prove that they don’t belong on the field with us, we just have to win
"EFF YOU, WE'RE WINNING ANYWAY!!!!!!" (Bye, Dawk)
the rams fans over at their blog
Are overly confiedent, like its a done deal already. That’s who I want to make look stupid…

well apparently since our LB
are our weakest point, they see that as a field day for SJAX
by sandiegoeaglesfan on Sep 6, 2011 10:32 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
LB was hardly a wrecking crew the last time these teams played.
And the Rams got run out of the building. Until they get some receivers who can pose any kind of threat, teams are going to stack the box and dare Bradford to beat them. If anything, the Eagles are the worst team for the Rams to face no matter what the LBs do because the Eagles’ CBs can easily go one-on-one with the Rams’ WRs and let the safeties concentrate on beating up Bradford and Jackson.

I always think it’s funny how people see LB vs RB as a “matchup.” It’s really not. LBs have lots of responsibilities. Really, if you wanted to talk about “matchups” for a RB, you have to take into account the entire front 7. Fact s that even average to below average LBs will have a field day against any RB if their defensive line plugs holes and eats up blocks.

that’s gonna be pretty damn hard to do with the QB sitting on the sidelines, Babin is gonna run his Azz down!

vegas only having the eagles laying 4.5. hardly a blowout… not even a bit curious?
www.drcellphone.com
So we are favored by more than a FG on the road
Id say that is an Eagles line considering the home team usually gets 7 pts in their favor.
i’m sorry i think that logic is dumb. being at home does matter, but it also depends on the team. the opponent. the schemes. who’s hot and who’s not. all kinds of stuff.
www.drcellphone.com
Trends wise it doesn't
Being at home is a big deal.
If you subscribe to the vegas idea that the home team gets 3 points, the line is telling you that the Eagles are a TD favorite. It’s a big line for the Eagles.

SI did a study of all games in all sports and found that being at home does in fact give you an advantage.

this blows
I forgot all about my FF draft and it automatically drafted for me: Peyton Manning, Jason Campbell, and berrian and other scrubs like that….the one potential bright spot is DET defense
