I posted this when it was first released.

Anyway, I really like how the season starts.

That Dallas game is going to be huge! Why? I expect Dallas to lose in its first game vs. the Cleveland Browns. It'd be a huge boost to PHILLY if they put the CowPoops to 0-2!

This EAGLES team can go anywhere from 7-9 to 14-2. I'm hoping for a really good season out of them, esp. for McNabb to finally get another shot at the Title!

Other prognostications, esp. in the NFC EAST: I think both the Giants and Redskins do not make the Playoffs.

Sorry, it got shuffled down and re-named slightly in the forum change.

I think we'll be 10-6 or so, but I'm not sure if that will be enough for the postseason.

i think our toughest games would be against Seattle and Pittsburgh....but other than that, the schedule doesn't seem difficult. the giants are getting weaker after osi is out for the season. washington is still not good enough IMO. dallas will be a tough divisional match-up for us. I can see us going 11-5 or 12-4 if mcnabb can stay healthy

Interestingly, Sports Illustrated picks us to come out of the NFC and lose to the Patriots again in the Super Bowl.

Yeah I saw that, we've also become a trendy pick to make the Super Bowl. It's funny how we can go from being maligned to people putting money on us, nether the less, I think we could go around 12-4, 13-3. Our out of division schedule is not tough, it's just our division is the toughest in the NFL. As for the Giants, even without Osi the Giants look really good, there offense can be shut down by our secondary though. I think a key for us is to keep both sides of our line healthy, if we can, we can beat any team in this league.

Yeah I don't know what to think. When I look at our team I see an 11-5 team (factoring in the schedule, which I'm really not that terrfied of) that can win a couple games in the playoffs. Then you have local radio and news people saying we're an 8-8 team at best, and national espn and SI types saying we're one of the most talented teams in the NFL with one real hole, being the offensive line. This can be an insane sports city to live in.
