@Bay Area Lets be realistic here, how many times have we been hyped up before to be let down, now yes this is the best team we have had in years, but its mainly us not falling for the okie doke like we do every year, just us preparing ourselves, cause how many times in the last 2 years have we lost games we should of won.

:francis:

Nothing is guaranteed on that damn schedule.

I absolutely see where you are coming from. The Eagles were called the "dream team" for winning free agency a few years ago and we know how that ended. That being said, im not seeing an abundance of opponents on our schedule that should have us shaking in our boots.

I just can't vision us missing the playoffs again...Our defense is gonna be problem for everyone and our pass defense specifically will be much better.

And you already know...Carr & Cooper been working out together in the off-season. It'll be year 2 and they will have more chemistry. I expect Cooper to take that leap.

Of course we don't have an easy schedule, but we haven't had a Raiders team this talented in a long time. No more do we have to worry about who our QB is going to be lol.

But I understand the feeling of some yall not being excited....Again, it is the Raiders lol. I'm just ready for the draft to come.

I think it's easy to get hyped cuz our division is winnable. Horsehead is gone and we got chargers usually. So it's a matter of beating the Chiefs. We finally got a true qb and a true wr1. Crabtree is perfect as a wr2. Murray is good when healthy but we need depth there.

Look IMO the pressure lay with KEN NORTON JR AND MUSGRAVE

U have the talent it's time to open the playbook

First off Norton really need to call better coverage packages and get away from that Seattle shyt

Musgrave ass need to stop that running on first and second bullshyt especially in the second half of games..... this team come out firing in the first half, then Musgrave go conservative until the 5 minute mark in the 4th....

haha, i see where you're coming from... but i still don't think norton has all the personnel to do what he wants to do. that d-line is still coming in light, esp after that tragic shyt with mario edwards jr. also, the inside backer position is an issue... if they can get myles jack?? well then... i want to see what he can do w/ an all-around lb at that spot.(assuming his knee doesn't explode)

but, musgrave does need to grow a pair and put carr in optimal situations. with the oline much improved (except RT), i'm expecting pandora's box to be opened up a little more. but again, del rio likes to win it in the trenches very much like john fox/mike smith did... which is another reason why the team needs some help in the backfield since murray has his occasional brain farts.

it'll be interesting how this draft shakes out... going to be one of the more entertaining ones in recent history with that bold trade to #1. if eagles really move up to #2, there is a SLIGHT chance ezekial elliot falls... but we might need to leapfrog the dolphins if he gets past 10.... you get the best football player available... and he's ready to contribute day 1.
