Pats/Eagles - Board Appears Split Already

[Real fan 02]

I don't know much about the Eagles' run game. I'm assuming it's decent?

If the weather holds advantage patriots.. that makes the eagles high flying offense not as effective.

I'll always take the Patriots no matter who they play.

Even in the Cam Newton year?? Saw that train wreck from a mile away.

*** WE SHALL OVERCOME ***

Our best bet is if our D is a Ramrod cigar and their O is Rusty Kuntz. It might get ugly but I'm confident they'll pull it out somehow.

They lost Miles Sanders in FA other than Hurts running ability we'll see what the new guys can do.

They’ll be fine. They have one of the best o-lines in the league. Running will be a strength for them again this year.

I think this one will come down to our o-line. If our line holds up and we force a few turnovers we can win. If the line has a tough day we lose by 10 or more

Anyone more pessimistic than I am is a troll; anyone more optimistic than I am is a homer.

I'm hoping our secondary holds up tight. Gonzalez is gonna be tested quick. If we can eek out a grinder of a win, I think that bodes well for the Pats. Great test for a 1st game. I have high hopes!

I believe the weather forecast actually is beneficial to us.. rain, wet balls, that affects the eagles high octane passing game. We really on running the ball ,short, intermediate throws anyway. So it's a matter of who can dictate the line of scrimmage. I wish the game was a 1pm start.

Yep,even in the Cam Newton year. Just because I knew they were going to lose some games doesn't mean I went against them. I'm a Homer through and through.

Looking back.. Cam the aspect of having a running QB opened up the passing game early on that season.. that Seattle game looked like vintage Cam.. I'm patriots fan too win or loose.

The Super Bowl hangover thing is in play but it’s an uphill battle against this team. If our offensive line performs poorly, which seems likely, we are cooked.

 

[everlong]

If both teams play to their potential the Eagles win. I do agree week 1 is a great time to catch the SB loser historically.

I picked the Eagles because they have one of the best DLs in the league and until proven otherwise our OL is bottom third in the league. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised and they perform better than I think but I'll take MJ10 coming out of it healthy and their playing average.
