I think as a fan base we're extremely biased against those two teams. 

Redskins may have a top 3 defense. (def top 10) and a weak schedule. 

Cowboys are a good team. They had 6 wins last year, got a pro bowl QB in the off season and spent 4-5 top 100 draft picks on their defense. (Also have a easier schedule) 

I get ripped on here for giving teams we hate credit, whether it comes to drafting well or making good FA signings.  I'm a very even keel, objective fan and I'll call it like it is.  Never drink the I need to find a new cliche and look at the big picture.  Sometimes it comes off as being a negative fan but I think it's just being completely honest about the state of the team.  Hell, there are a few of us on here who predicted the Eagles being in this position almost immediately after failing to run it back in 2018. 

This is going to be a tough year to watch.  Both WFT and Dallas are much better than the Eagles.  I expect to split with Dallas but get swept by WFT.  Aside from having better records than the Eagles, we're more than likely going to see weekly highlights from their stars too.  Get ready to see a lot of Parsons, Lamb, Young, McClaurin highlights all over your news feeds.

Based on Hurts' performance on the field so far, he stands to be one of the worst picks Howie has made.  If he doesn't develop this season it will go down as a historical draft blunder.

That is a strong statement considering there is so many to choose from.  I still think JJAWful over the 10+ productive NFL receivers drafted after him will be the worst.

WTF are you talking about.  What pro bowl QB did the Cowboys get in the offseason ??

Prescott was drafted in 2016, Cooper Rush and Will Grier are not pro bowlers.

See above and it absolutely was a lack of bringing in weapons. You have no idea whether Hurts is the best pick other than Goedert or Miles at this point.

I totally missed jjaw who i also would say needed an actual offseason with team activities after his bad rookie year. Pandemic ruined it for him and he shouldn’t have just been relied on to turn it around. 

remember the time i kept annoying everyone about getting Robbie Anderson for 2 months. And his supposed price dropped to something very reasonable but since his catch percentage sucked with Gase and the Jets so he wasn’t needed.

Gotta use the hyphenated version to match his name. JJAW-ful

Parsons is going to be a bust.  He's from PSU so that's one strike against him.  He's going to Dallas and he's a punk.  He'll be neck high in stripper dust by week 2.  F him.  

Lamb was cool until he went to Dallas.  Now he's gotta share the ball with a lot of other players who are selfish.  So they all can F off.  

McLaurin sits when he pees.  He can also F off.  

Chase Young.....oh well I'll think of something.  

It pains me that lamb has to play for the Cowboys. Would’ve been more painful if Dak didn’t get hurt cause he was on a jefferson type pace of close to 1400 yards before Dak got hurt. I loved him coming out. He was my favorite receiver of the top 3.

Washington is a good team and has been on the rise for the past 2-3 years from solid drafting (not difficult when you're picking near the top every year, though).  Look for Fitzpatrick to lose that starting QB job during the season, though -- because he always does.

DAL is not a good team.  They have talent at the top of their roster, but bad roster construction and a very highly overpaid QB.  They have to hope Dak doesn't play fat now that he's been paid like Elliott, Jaylon Smith and Lawrence have.

I actually think Washington if they get Samuel healthy is really a good QB away from being a legit contender. That defense is really good. The front four is one of the best in the league. And they should they’ve spent a ton of high draft picks on them. I think fitzmagic is gonna hold them back from being better than a 9 win team (ceiling for me is 10 if everything breaks their way). 

dallas is a good offense if their oline stays healthy and Dak doesn’t get hurt again. I still believe their defense is a bottom 10 defense. If McCarthy was smart he’d try to play more ball control to help them out and keep them off the field as much as possible. But with the WRs they have and potentially zeke not being what he was 3 years ago (based off his production dropping the past two years) i see them trying to air it out and they’ll have some big plays. I just look at their schedule and think they likely go 4-2 in the division (sweep the giants, split with Washington and split with us. Though i wouldn’t be surprised if they swept us depending on what’s at stakes week 18 for them and us). Then they still get Carolina, Denver, atlanta and Vegas at home. I think they win those games so you are at 8 or 9 wins depending on if they go 4-2 or better in the division. Plus i think they likely win a shootout against the vikings cause cousins will do something dumb.

Right now IMO Goedert could be signed for $12.5M AAV.  Mailata could be signed right now for $10-11M.

Those prices will go up each day.

This is hate. Talent wise they may be a top 10 team(obviously the NFL isnt played on paper) the ISSUE* with the Cowboys is the coaching staff. (although I agree they overpaid Dak, but they can because they're hitting really good on draft picks)

They haven't had a winning season in 3 years.  I don't hate that.  They are what their record says they are.

And the Eagles have a combined 16.8 million in cap space ( after all 53 count against the cap ) with this years remaining and current 2022 cap space.  Not sure how they can afford either let alone both.

So Let me see if I understand correctly.  You responded to greend’s post about not bringing in weapons for Wentz.  By the time Hurts is starting DJax is pretty much done, the October of Fulgham is in the rear view and he is pretty much done, Ertz is hurt, Goedert banged up, Sanders is banged up, JJAW is benched, Hightower is benched, the shadow of Jeffery is blah, and Watkins can’t see the field.  He is playing behind Herbig at RG, he loses his backup RT, Seumalo is Rusty and by the end, he is on the fifth and sixth OTs.  But no excuse, Hurts should have been the best QB out there those three and two half games. 

2 minutes ago, Bacarty2 said:

that has zero to do with talent. as I mentioned before, obviously we dont play on paper but TALENT wise, theyre tops in the league. Being coached and bringing it on the field is a different story. 

Side note, the Cowboys have a better record over those last 3 years and the same amount of playoff wins as us. 

 

No they are not.  They are top heavy, but have zero depth.

You and i both know how…

Dallas is perpetually overrated. They have a good offense with a bad play caller, and a bad defense. Mediocre and looking more and more likely every year that they're going to waste the prime years of Zeke, Dak and that once vaunted offensive line by not being able to build a team around then or bring in a functional coach.

Objectively, the offense was healthier when Hurts was playing than when Wentz was -- but that's beside the point.  

The overall point is, if Hurts develops and plays like even a mid-tier starting QB this season and further develops into a top-10 caliber QB in the future the process will have worked out -- I would say by accident.  The process and decision making on its own was bad.  Conversely, if Hurts struggles to improve on what he showed last season the entire episode will be seen as a cluster F -- especially if Wentz returns to being a top 10-12 QB in Indy.

Gonna doubt it as we need wentz to play 75% of the snaps or 70% and make the playoffs. Add on if he somehow is playing like end of 2019 and the eagles are struggling the media is going fuel those flames. 

Going to be a lot of "I told you"

Football is finally back, thank god. So, let's make some predictions!

Of the playoff teams last year (GB, KC, TB, Buffalo, Indy, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Tennessee, Baltimore, Saints, Bears, Rams, Seachickens, WFT) which team(s) miss this year? 

Who do you got for MVP? 

O and D ROY? 

Of the non-playoff teams last year, who makes this jump this year? 

Imma say Pittsburgh, Indy, Bears, Seahags miss out this year, replaced by Chargers, Patriots, 49ers, Cardinals. 

Josh Allen wins MVP. 

ROY goes to Trevor Lawrence who posts good numbers but doesn't get wins, and on D it goes to Rousseau who apparently had a great training camp. 

SB: Packers vs Chargers with Packers winning

MVP: Rodgers

OPOY: Davante Adams
DPOY: Chase Young
OROY: Kyle Pitts
DROY: Jaycee Horn

AFC
North: Browns
South: Colts
East: Bills
West: Chargers

WC: Ravens, Chiefs, Titans

NFC
North: Packers
South: Bucs
East: WFT
West: Cards

WC: Hawks, Saints, Rams

Gonna be a very interesting Sunday morning, well, afternoon for you East Coasters.  I still don't think I would have the mental fortitude to wait until 1PM for football.  I am already pretty antsy by 10am on the West Coast. 

Eagles @ Falcons and Seahawks @ Colts at the same time.
