Q.3 The Eagles' biggest weakness this year will be...

  • 1. Wide receivers / 1-a - Andy Reid

  • False (he's doing a fine job juggling both roles) (29%)
  • Neither (he should be fired from both positions) (13%)

Q.10 Please add any additional comments you have regarding the 2008 Eagles here.
  • I'm tired of Andy Reid's arrogance, Joe Banner's weasle-ness and Jeff Lurie's gold standard.
  • Hi Chad, Hi Anquan, Hi Roy Williams, Hell, hi Mike Quick... wish you were here. If #5 is healthy & Westbrook is healthy all year assuming minimal teamwide injuries I think it will be Eagles vs Cowboys to come out of the NFC. I think defense & special teams have improved. However, they must win in spite of Andy Reid. Lousy on game day.(can't/won't adjust); Passes the ball 65% of the time with mediocre WR corp. Still can't manage the clock or time outs. No offensive sense of urgency/ takes too long to get plays off , so no tempo. Doesn't play rookies. Won't establish a running game. Always have trouble on Opening day & game before a BYE. Poor record against AFC & 3-4 Front defenses. Always takes "full responsibility" and says "we have to do a better job with that" and nothing changes. His act is real old. He should have been gone after the the loss to the Panther's in the playoffs many years ago
  • The true test will be the Linebacking core. These unproven young guys have a lot of pressure on them and I hope they can make big plays in big games. GO BIRDS
  • They should win 10 games and while I don't see them competing for a Super Bowl, they should win a playoff game.
  • Watching the young linebackers go wild, make mistakes and (hopefully) learn from them will be fun this year. Having return men with speed and agility will also be something new.
  • Same old, same old
  • Safe to say we are all hoping for a big comeback season for Donovan. It will be a tough road ahead for him however with our lack of offensive line.
  • They wont compete for a Superbowl again until joe banner and Jeffrey Lurie focus more on a strategy to win rather than a strategy to make money.
  • The 2008 Eagles will be improved over last season but I fear their lack of big play capabilities will be their downfall.
'Til next time.
