So back-ups don't matter, tell that to Dick Vermeil and the Rams, preseason games may matter and you still can't say anything bad about Andy or 4th round kickers, it that it?
How quiet did the stadium get when Maclin's knee locked? That was a little scary.
Go Birds!!
Alright, alright, alright!

well, looks like you're all caught up. welcome back.
yeah for about 2 minutes i was thinking his career was over. then hopped up and caught a pass a few plays later. PHEW.
So is the 4th rd K or 4th rd QB going to make the team? How can you justify taking a K in the 4th but critique taking a QB?

it is such a huge decision to make since parkey is an undrafted rookie, while hennery has experience, albeit pretty shitty experience. still other kickers can be had off waivers too...
it looks like josey is being cut and they are keep polk, despite his injury. kid showed promise last year. i'm on board with that.
it really sucks that travis long got hurt because that means clay mathews' sister will make this team again...though he is a decent contributor on special teams.
also looks like parker lewis can't lose is making the team for the time being, at least....
Hit the navy game yesterday. Stadium is so much nicer than the shitty linc. I say that every time i go to a football game. Gotta be one of bottom five stadiums in nfl.
Preseason or not Sanchez has looked very good. What's wrong with admitting that? It's always a I'm right your wrong thing for some reason. For whatever reason Kelly get's his qb's to be more effective. Is Sanchez a good fit or good qb in this system? Time might tell down the road. So beating him up makes no sense. We know the NJ Jet Sanchez wasn't that good. That doesn't mean the Chip Kelly Sanchez will suck.
yeah, basic stuff. every knowledgeable football fan realizes the importance of a decent backup. and by most accounts, sanchez is considered one of the best in the league. i don't want him starting 16 games for the eagles, but he's competent enough (and more than most) to help out in a pinch if, god forbid, we need him. it's a nice luxury to have.
i can't believe the season starts next week. can't wait!
You guys are sticking up for mark sanchez because he played well vs ups delivery men. Its fucking hilarious

the more i think about this team and their schedule, the more optimistic i'm getting. assuming good health, i'm thinking 10-6.
i originally was thinking 3-3 going into the bye (even though they stink, i see them splitting with the giants).....but now think they can upset either the colts or niners. i think it's the niners. san fran had a rough off season, has looked horrible this summer, and has injury and suspension issues. think the birds can steal one there.
they should be favored in their next 3 games, but think they will drop one of them, probably arizona. so now they're 6-3 and should be favored in all of their remaining games except for green bay and seattle.....got a funny feeling about that late saturday game in dc--might be one of those flukey games they lose after having the division locked up. 10-6.....maybe 11-5 if they have a shot at bye heading into dc.
i look for foles' numbers coming back to life but still around 31tds, 13ints, 3,800 yards, 64% comp. i'll take that. guy makes good decisions in the pocket. if he can put up these kinds of numbers and gets the ball out of his hands a smidge earlier, look for a contract extension at some point soon.
shady should get you around 1500 yards and 10 tds, while being a leading mvp candidate.
ertz is poised for a monster breakout season...obviously wanna see mathews emerge as a big, dependable target (especially redzone) as season goes on.
defense...if the offense can be as good as i imagine, as long as they are mediocre it should be good enough (i'm betting on them leading a lot of their games, which will take the pressure off). gotta get more pressure on the qb without blitzing. gotta get off the field on 3rd downs. wanna see kendricks emerge as a pro bowl caliber lb and become that play maker the birds haven't had since 2008. boykin is a stud in the nickle. i like the jenkins signing. also like carrol providing depth. interested in seeing what beau allen does if given some pt. and marcus smith--show me something when given the chance.
special teams should be improved. not sure how much of an upgrade parkey will be over henery but henery had to go...would not surprise me if they went through a couple different kickers when all said and done.
this is year 2. next year is the super bowl or bust year for me. just want to see them win the division again and get that first playoff win in 6 years. in today's nfl, parity rules. be playing your best at the end of the season, get in and anything can happen.
