......................dream team having....nightmare.

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

3 picks for Vick. Blahahaha

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

I'm considering making Vick my 1st round fantasy pick... The dudes better than he's ever been. I'm sure it won't last though. As horrible as his past is, I can't help but think how much better of we would be had we picked him up when we had the chance.

It looks even worse than the stats would indicate

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

DAMN.....they looks so good on paper?

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

I just helped a friend with his fantasy draft last night. He had the 2nd overall pick and was considering Vick. Anytime I think of Vick I think of the stat that Dirtbag posted about how 19 percent of Vick's potential interceptions were actually intercepted last year. That's just luck. I bet he won't be that lucky this year.

Vicks got to be the most overvalued player in fantasy football this year.

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

ha f the eagles

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

It appears the NFL lockout may have impacted Andy Reids conditioning schedule?

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

Yeah the eagles were definitely sucking it tonight. Steelers though you could tell wanted to play better from that beat down we put on them last week.

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

I love the Eagles shitting it up. Nice job with the 3 INTs.

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

So..... This is the best team in the NFL?

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

Duly anointed by the media Pundits.......

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

Watch how many ppl say oh well its the preseason, but when we beat the steelers it was preseason then ... so wtf..

Yeah, we looked a lot better against the steelers than the iggles so hopefully that means something

Means nothing..... Unfortunately.

Mike Tomlin didn't think so.

I don't know about that -- tomlin kind of came out and said that we whooped their butts up and down the field. It's nowhere near as important as a real game but its far from meaningless

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

Well we have looked like ass in the preseason for quite some time and that sure did translate to the performance in regular season as far as I could tell.

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

I think this year vs years past means much more with all the missed camps. These games are going to be a rather good impression of how the teams will be playing the first 3-4 games of the year. Sure the wins still don't matter at all during preseason, but I think how the starters win or lose games 2 & 3 of the preseason speaks volumes on how each team will begin the regular season.

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

We beat the Steelers
Steelers beat the Dream Team

Ergo, we are the Dream Team

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

I don't know about the dream team, but at least the eagles took the crown of offeason champs from the redskins. And now hopefully they now inherit all the problems that the redskins have experienced for most of the past decade.

The irony of picking up the biggest free agent is: he plays defense and the defense as a whole may be their biggest weakness. It's not very publicized but their longtime oline coach switching to be their dc is a big question mark. If you look at all the best defenses in the league - they all have very strong defensive coordinators. I don't think he lasts the whole season as the eagles dc. Their only saving grace is the dline coach.

Official. Skins class of the Beast. Skins might end up winning the McNabb trade yet.

I posted this before but maybe Joyner and his numbers mumbo jumbo is smarter then I give him credit for.
[QUOTE]Michael Vick wasn't anywhere near as good as his 2010 numbers suggest

One of the reasons Philadelphia won the NFC East in 2010 is that Vick had a near-MVP campaign, but the fact is he benefitted from more luck than maybe any other quarterback in the league.

He had only 19.4 percent of his potential interceptions turn into actual interceptions. That total was tied for the lowest interception luck factor rate in the league and indicates he was a huge beneficiary of fortunate bounces.[/QUOTE]

Then again this might be the universes way of teasing us.

Very good point...........

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

One thing about the Eagles' defense, you should be able to run on it all day.

[QUOTE=SOUL-SKINS;824690]Means nothing..... Unfortunately.[/QUOTE]

Vick made some horrible throws and decisions. Horrible. Regardless if its preseason, it not a good sign.

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

let us not forget we have another pre season game to play today before we start gloating.

Well he wont have Carlos Rodgers dropping picks for him twice a year to help his luck factor out anymore!

another preseason game, or as I see it, another step towards the superbowl

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

Let's not forget it's the preseason... period.

lol at the Eagle fans ready to jump off a bridge already.

I have to admit, even though I loathe the Steelers too, it was really nice seeing the Eagles get dismantled - despite it being preseason.

I hate that my Eagles co-worker is not here at work today. I was prepared to laugh at him.

wait a second, it's still preseason?

well eagles fans are what they are, eagles fans, as skins fans i know we are pretty bad but the eagles have to be at the top of the list of over reactive fans. i'm not a big nba fan, but the heat looked pretty shitty at the begining of the year last year but they got it together towards the mid part of the season. thats what i can see happening with the eagles, just a lot of new parts that need time to adjust, but i really hope it blows up in their faces

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

The Steelers exposed the Eagles weaknesses for what they were, but this isn't something that caught the Eagles off guard or anything. This team is going to look terrible down 14-0. They can't handle a power running game and Vick is still unproven from behind 10 years into his career.

This will be good for dialing down the Eagles hype machine. They're going to lose two or three games just like this over the course of the year, where they look horribly overrated. But that's still going to leave them in the running for a ten win season.

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

ONLY Preseason??
Anybody think Andy Reid is....unconcerned (not slitting his wrists..but).
Mark Schlereth describes preseason best. [B]"It does not count, but it does matter"[/B].
Our performance against Steeler starters albeit short was telling. They did well. It shows that perhaps there is hope that the Skins HAVE made significant improvements and maybe we are heading in the right direction.
Is it all conclusive...of course not but would you be unconcerned if we got our ass handed to us?
It matters if it is taken for what it is.....

Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
 

Of course there may be [I]some[/I] concern on part of the Eagles, it's just silly how crazy people get over this preseason stuff.

Insane crazy. I was in DC, Baltimore and New York last week and listened to sports radio (the Fan) in each city. It is freaking insane how the fans are going nuts based on how their teams are playing in the preseason. Dumb.
The winning teams use preseason the way it is supposed to be used, to take a really good look at all of the scrubs in order to fill out the bottom half roster correctly. Plus they do not run any of their bread and butter plays on offense and defense. So the winning teams usually lose most of the preseason games.
While the bad teams feel like they have something to prove and really try hard to win them all. They play their starters longer and thus against the other teams scrubs, so they have a false sense of improvement. Kind of like last week where we played our starters the entire first half and the Steelers starters only played the first series or two.
Once the regular season starts, it will be completely diffrent level of play. Similar to the rise in play when the playoffs start.

i tell ya though, its feels good to watch them get steam rolled
