ugh, we get enough of this prognosticating on ESPN, why even bother repeating it.

Hofman and Smallwood must be on the sauce

At best I think the Eagles will be 6-10, but that is with no injuries and a lot of luck.

I think Smallwood and Hofman made those pics before training camp started. Back then, I would agree with their picks. Now I agree with Philsfan56. It's going to be a long 17 weeks.

i think the eagles did themsleves a favor by not starting demps at fs nor mays at mlb. weather harris works remains to be seen. gaither is not bradley but a few steps up from mays. i also think babin will be a good addition to a not so good pass rush. they have a lot of speed at receiver but mcnabb is heading downhill fast. this team will only be competative in the nfc if they start running the ball. they are no match to the top AFC teams. they are lucky to have the AFC west this year but even with that i don't see them winning more than ten games. the chargers and bears are losses along with the usual split with n.y. and dallas. when's the last time they beat washington? they could win five in a row to open then lose five strait. reid's teams usually own december and that's where they can make the playoffs with four or five out of the last six. prediction 10/6 only if they run the ball more than in the past.

If our O-line can get together (and this is a big if), the offense should be pretty potent. Our D is looking a little Swiss-cheese-like, though. 9-7 is about right.
