Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Don't overlook the Eagles in 2012 or else!

The eagles will be a power next year. I say that ,not because of their 4-0 finish, but because of the adversity they went through all season. Unlike many teams who fall apart and go 3-13, the Eagles stuck together and never pointed fingers at each other! They GREW as a TEAM as the year wore on and as a result , came together as a TEAM! The F/a's they signed in training camp, never had time to become Eagles in their Hearts.Nnamdi, Jenkins, Babin, DRC, Hunt, Landri, and draft choices Matthews, Marsh, Rolle and others had their heads spinning with all the NEW Systems they had to learn. Plus they had to learn to play as a unit, all in a space of 1 month! No way! I say, just because you signed a big contract, that doesn't mean you automattically LOVE the team or your Team-mates!! How can you put out the effort it takes to stop another teams running game, if your head is somewhere between the Last team you played for and the Eagles? Can not be done, and the Eagles, this year, proved this. As the year wore on, the Eagles D learned the System and learned how to play as a unit. For example, the Eagles, in the beginning of the season, had trouble with containment, all over the field! The tacklers were taking wrong paths to the Ballcarrier and the result , Containment was lost! They IMPROVED alot as the season went on and will continue to improve at the teams OTA's this Off-Season. And, another thing that did not help was Vince Young spewing that STUPID DREAM TEAM statement. He should have kept his Big Mouth SHUT! HE did not have any knowledge of the Eagles and how they operate. That one statement Made EVERYONE think that is how all Eagle fans felt! It put a WANTED POSTER on the Eagles, one they could not shake early on!

I believe the Eagles need a Back-up QB, MLB, A BIG TOUGH D-Lineman, OLB,(Strong side),Safety. It would help if Vick would learn to get rid of the ball and STOP taking the big hits. One play is one play, one Injury is 3 games, or approx. 190 PLAYS, so you decide. I say after an off season of OTA's, mini camps , and a few more PLAYERS, Watch out for the Eagles in 2012!!!!

They play a tough schedule in 2012

They play the Lions, Ravens, Bengals, Falcons, and Panthers at home. They play the Saints and the Steelers on the road. They’ve struggled against playoff teams the past couple of years. All of those teams (except the Panthers) made the playoffs in 2011 and the Panthers seem to be an up and coming team.

I know how the Eagles operate and I don’t see them picking up a good linebacker to improve the defense. Reid hasn’t drafted a good linebacker his entire time here – he inherited Trotter from Ray Rhodes. I’ve been an Eagles fan since 1979 and I’ve had season tickets since 1995, so I am an ardent fan. But I just don’t see it for next season. I still see the linebackers hurting this defense. I’m not sold that Vick will have a marvelous rebound season in 2012. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t feel 2012 will be any better than an 8-8 season.

Vick will go Bad Newz Kennels on that shitass secondary. - EvilBanner

Still confused at why you used your first comment on BGN to attack me...

…seemingly for no reason, but moving on…

I completely disagree with your sentiment in this post. I want us to be overlooked. I want everyone to think we suck, to say we’re the all-hype team, to think that we’re gonna bury ourselves. That way people don’t pay us much attention until we’re on a winning streak, and that way we don’t go over the top with our expectations/egos. The Eagles can and should be good next year, but it will be sweeter if we do so under the radar.

Doubtful we will be under the radar next year.

It's a little early to even think they're a force to be reckoned with...

Plus we don’t even know what changes are going to be made, who’s going to be drafted/cut. Will the defense stay the same? Will Washburn stay? So many questions and even fewer answers.

We all thought that we’d improve when Sean McDermott left and we acquired all these free agents…look what happened.

One step at a time.

be nice bro

he’s young

At least one more year of Andy and Juan. If they don't win it all they both better be gone!

No way Eagles draft a LB in the first round 2012.

blah

Eagle even when they were good struggle against playoff quality teams. Im dissappointed that Reid is back because against a quality non divisional opponent he is consistently out coached.

Please, stop the shit

Everyone did enough of this last off season and we have a much tougher road next year.

everyone should overlook, the eagles are absolute disgrace, meaningless team who choose the losing path to mediocrity, shame to be an eagles fan these days. horrible team, no chance.
