PhillyRockd Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 21 hours ago, JP HOF said: In fact I think we will lose. I watched several games of theirs last year and they are so all in for Campbell. Just the kind of team that can give us trouble. I think Hutchinson will be tough to block and that running back D'Andre Swift is great, he will put up some serious yardage. I'm pretty sure the Eagles players are all in on Nick too. So you don't think the Eagles can run on the Lions? A rookie going against all pro type linemen isn't a worrisome? How about Detroit going against a pretty good WR Corp not to mention a possible future all pro TE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBhunter58 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The lions have good team culture, they will not be a pushover this year like last, but there is a big talent gap between them and good teams. They are trending up, but I think we still win easy as long as we execute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procus Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 It's the NFL, the Lions have added talent, and while the HC may be a meathead, he's developing a good culture over there. Eagles have lost 3 out of their last 4 games against the Lions. It's not a leap to say the game will not be a gimme - and you can be sure the Lions won't be looking past the Eagles on opening day after the beatdown the Eagles put on them in Detroit last year. There are no guaranteed wins in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesAddict Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 No games are a gimmie for this team. This team hasn't proven anything yet. The Lions might actually be the perfect opening test for us....up and coming and will be fired up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoEagle Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 We'd have a way better chance if Strong was starting. Line would probably move by about 10 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman#12 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 As EaglesAddict said, this team shouldn't be taking anybody lightly.....they haven't won anything. Winning the offseason gets the fans all pumped up, but me means little if it doesn't translate to wins. Once preseason is over and the roster is set, Sirianni and his staff will be laser focused on Detroit. Detroit has improved their talent and the players seem to respond to Campbell's attitude and energy. But the eagles have too, probably more. It's the beauty of the NFL......free agency, the draft, training camp and preseason are all fun and create a lot of anticipation, discussion and predictions. But it all boils down to winning....and it doesn't matter if it's a blowout, a win by a last second field goal or a fluke play. In philadelphia, fans always quialify wins by score differential, quality of opponent, how the team played or if the opponent gave the game away.....philly fans want style points. The eagles have a lot to prove....They should be pumped up for this game as will Detroit. Anything could happen...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryBird Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The thing with the Lions is that they have that fighting spirit. If you put the rosters up against each other, there's no comparison. But the games aren't played on paper, they're played on the field. Their crowds going to be fired up and it'll give them a little extra juice so we'll need to bury them early, or physically wear them down in the trenches. I also agree with we_gotta_believe. Hard Knocks makes these teams look like dynasties in the making, so ignore the noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawkins4prez Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Lions got some legit buzz and its more than Hard Knocks. The oLine is looking solid, they have weapons (Swift is a legit threat for rushing leader), and people forget Goff is actually pretty dangerous when surrounded by a good cast. Defense plays hard, has some holes, has some players. Ford Field might actually be rocking for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
