Bwestbrook36 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 We won 4 in an absolute train wreck from top to bottom and the supposed franchise QB was basically the worst QB in the league.. So that tells some of you that this team is still no better then that? That being said I'll go 7-10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundAttack Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 5 or 6 my guess that was my thought back in may and hasn’t changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vileborg Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 1st team 11-6 Not 1st team 0-17 Combined 4-13 Like what I've seen of the starters just don't trust the depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hard to make any kind of prediction considering all new coaching staff implementing new schemes on both sides, basically a completely unproven/unknown starting QB, and then of course have to factor in injuries (considering we were bitten so hard past few seasons ... will that be any better this year under the new staff ... no way to tell).

Siriani values the joint practices a lot more than the preseason games - the starters are resting tonight - so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't put this on Sirianni at all. This is an 'organizational' decision and goes back well beyond Sirianni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the coaches ultimately end up being successful, it takes time to implement new schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't disagree with the premise that they get more out of those tough, physical but controlled joint practice sessions than they do over a practice game. One of the advantages is they can work in more of their schemes. Other teams don't get the video of joint practices but they do see the preseason games, which is why most teams don't do anything.

There's a difference between 'not doing anything' in terms of scheming, and not participating, in terms of just taking the night off. Just a wasted opportunity for young players to get reps and season themselves. And frankly, how long does the impact of not showing anything in preseason really last? 2 weeks, 4 weeks? Maybe 6? Inconsequential to a team trying to redefine themselves and develop the next core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Vic Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Our offensive line is good. RBs are good. WRs are decent with Smith in the line up. Hurts is much more decisive than Wentz and he is proving that he can manage the Game. Gannon will be creative and although I have some concerns about the defense, I do not see Why we should be worse than average. New system doesn't mean that we will stink! Just the opposite, opposing coaches will have less tape on us. That said .. I am thinking 8-9. Most likely we will start slowly but pick up some wins after the first several games. Over as far as Vegas is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inconsequential to a team trying to redefine themselves and develop the next core. At the end of the day they’re keeping their starters bubble wrapped until the regular season. Everyone’s healthy. Howie wants to keep it that way even though that means fewer reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the regular season comes and we have to hope that the limited reps don't have a lingering impact. But, for me, I just want to see development of the young players, and every rep is gold.

Uscg-green Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Under. All day. This is going to be a long season. But if we are going to suck, suck hard. 6 to 7 is worst case scenario. Not enough for playoffs and to high for a really high draft pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I'll take the under. Young team, young QB, young HC and DC. And if they suffer injuries above the norm then they don't have a lot of depth. I still think there can be positives to come out of the year but I don't see a lot of wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2016 Eagles did 7-9, And I don't think that our team is much worse than 2016. If Vegas gives 6.5.. I would take the over. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC situation is similar I guess, QB situation is similar (though I think there were high hopes for Wentz given where he was drafted etc). But the rest of the team? Not so sure.

The division is much better. The Giants are improving and have Barkley back. Dallas has Dak back and Fitzmagic will help WFT. We might only win 1, maybe 2 games in the division.
