I actually don't entirely mind the new guy so far, I think he's been alright. I just can't stand Gruden. He's a great analyst and he puts in some really nice insight at times, but something about his voice just drives me nuts.


Sean McDonough is good. His body of work is solid. Kinda got shoved to the side by a bunch of up-and-comers but he does a solid job of painting a picture while allowing the action on the screen to tell the story.

Gruden sucks. Absolutely sucks.


Do you get the impression that Jon Gruden is that guy that makes you think to yourself, "this guy seems like he's had five or six drinks," but in reality, he been going all day and has had like, 22 but he keeps it together pretty good?

No turnovers so far with a rookie QB and and a pretty young offense, this is really amazing.

I remember people being skeptical of Pederson, but he has looked outstanding so far

Maybe the best analogy I've ever heard for him.

Well played.

The Eagles first real test will be next week against the Steelers. If they can win there then it's time to start taking them seriously.

they will lose to Pitt anyway. Doesnt mean not to take them seriously because most everyone will lose to Pitt.

How can you take anyone serious after beating the lonely Browns and Bears. Egals don't scare me a bit.

Pittsburgh is one of the elite teams in the league. Evaluating who the Eagles are against them would be really stupid.

I am just excited about how our rookie QB and coach look. Winning these first two games is just an added bonus.

I'm expecting the Eagles to lose against Pitt, but I want to see if they can compete, and if Wentz can still play well. If he shows the same poise and plays an overall decent, if unspectacular, game that the Eagles lose 31-23 in competitive fashion, then I'll get my hopes up about him and the Eagles in general.

They even lost Mike Tirico to make it even worse.

Lol I thought this was pretty funny about Gruden

Haha that's actually way funny :lol:

Fake Gruden may just be even more obnoxious than real Gruden. I love his enormous Super Bowl ring though, that's a nice touch.
