Miami Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 1 hour ago, UK_EaglesFan89 said: I think this team can finish with a winning record but I've said they could all off season. I'm not ready to get carried away after one week but I do think this team is going to be better than a lot of the league think they are going to be. This team has some talent and yet people are overlooking that. If the Eagles play like this, going to be a fun season. Hurts hopefully will develop as a passer (already an elite runner) and Siri can keep mixing up the plays. That was a sweet play to Reagor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm gonna make a bold prediction. They will win at least 1 game. Book it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblood Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I went from 6 to 8 for now. But it was only Atlanta, so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be growing pains that's inevitable and there's going to be difficult weeks but yesterday was a very good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the grand scheme of it many people kind of expected this one to be a win, but I don’t think anyone realistically expected the team to play as well as they did. Even with that there was a lot of mistakes they made too which means they have the potential to be even better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we knew that we could absolutely win but that it may be a tight game between two teams who aren't very good. What we actually got was one team who were, as expected, not very good and one team who looked really good on the day. It wasn't just about the W, it was about how they performed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 No change from me. I still see the Eagles as a 6 win team...maybe 7, if they stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After week one I certainly have a little bit more belief that they can get there but that's still their range to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihailo Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I predicted 8 wins, had it been a 16 week schedule then I thought it would have been 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't just about the W, it was about how they performed. the last couple of years, aside from the injuries, the coaching staff was a big reason the team was in decline. really no ingenuity in the game planning or play calling. Really since Frank Reich left. In comes a coach who worked under Reich and look what you saw on Sunday. great game plan, great in-game adjustments, catering the scheme to the strengths of his players, which is so refreshing after the last few years or Doug with his head buried in a chart calling games that seemed to have no rhyme or reason offensively. No reason this team can't compete and win this division. Solid all over the offense ( OL, TE's, WR's, backs). Defense solid if not spectacular. the whole thing hinges on Hurts and the coaching staff and they aquitted themselves quite well in week one, regardles of the opponent.

I just felt like it was so different than the last few years. I felt like i was watching a game plan that made sense. Sirianni was in complete control and adjusted as the game went on. I think that will carry over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came out with a game plan and they executed it on offense. On defense their game plan didn't completely work at first but they turned it around after 2 drives. That was impressive too.

But they then made tweaks to also stuff the run and after that played lights out. So clearly Gannon wasn't completely satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he just took his game plan and threw it out the window over 2 drives that still ended in a stop. Of course the whole plan isn't going to work throughout the entire game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love that Gannon then made a tweak and then it was lights out. To me that's the sign of a really good coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I'm glad they did get the stops though because who knows with being a new coach it could of snowballed on him if those ended up being touchdowns. Getting those stops probably gave him some confidence sticking with what he was doing and making adjustments where he was struggling. I think he was determined to make sure they didn't get beat over top and didn't put the effort with his players on stopping the run initially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacesOut Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I think I had them at 6 wins. I will bump that up BIG TIME to................8.

If either of those drives end in TDs then things could have been different. Of course that's all what ifs and who really knows but yeah I agree bud. Thankfully it went out way and from there on it was just utter dominance. What I like is that he's happy to give to some yards to the run to protect the over the top stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
