I think overall the Eagles D is better, but it's only week 1 so who knows.

Peterson and Matthieu looked good patrolling the secondary though.

Yeah and the Cowboys will be in the ultimate CAP HELL for the next 5 years because of all the crazy contracts they signed!!

Meanwhile, we are 33 mill in the GREEN for next year! That will go down because we have a few one year contracts that may flower into longer signing for the best guys.

Murray is a better runner than Wentz, and so we will need to keep him in check. They just beat the NCF champs at home, so they’re definitely legit. This will be a very big test for us.

I honestly was way more impressed by the Cardinals' D than I was the Eagles'. AZ's O kept punting the ball back and their D kept Jimmy G under pressure, facing a really good Oline too.

Turner seems to be able to scheme around our OL's weaknesses though.

I agree with everything you’ve said here. AZ played like a pretty balanced team all around.

Arizona is better than us. Doesn't mean we can't or won't win. But no reason to expect it either. Would be an awesome win.

He was always better than Baker IMO, and he's proving it in the NFL. Kid is small but still a great passer

Arizona has better overall secondary by far, just avg linebackers but i don’t think Arizona dline is close to eagles. Jackson, Cox, curry and graham...Barnett was out...are a handful. Brandon Graham and Malik Jackson are 2 of the most under appreciated ballers year in and year out.

I think our Oline will see some relief. Chandler Jones is always a pro bowler tho.

Arguably Russell Wilson laid the groundwork for Murray to be taken seriously. Or to go back further, Doug Flutie. Size is a factor in picking an NFL QB but I like that more coaches are seeing it isn't the biggest factor (pardon tge pun).

Re: Around the NFL Week 1

I like going on reddit and there are some real interesting stats from week 1.

- 19 missed FGs and 5 missed extra point attempts. Packs v Vikes only game without a missed kick

- Giants now have worst record in NFL over last 3 seasons, which includes a browns 0-16 season.

- Ben Roethlisberger has more rushing yards than Saquon Barkley.

- Since week 15 of 2018, every time the Skins win, all the other NFCE teams lose.

- Kyler Murray ran the ball 13 times for 91 yards. He was only tackled once. The other 12 times he either went out of bounds, slid or scored a TD.

- Since 1999, there have been 62 drives of 19+ plays, the Giants are the only one to end up with an int.

- 24 teams went for it on a 4th down. Most since 2006

Re: Around the NFL Week 1

The Browns are shopping Odell per Mike Francesa

Also Allen Robinson wants out of Chicago and JP FInlay says "I'd offer a 3rd for him yesterday"

HMMMM

That was a crazy drive too, they just nickle and dimed the Steelers down the field and then Casey Hampton ends up with the pick lol.

I love seeing fat boys get ints.

Happy none of the other skinny players came in and tried to steal his int, like they usually do.

holy crap .. Allen Robinson is only 27 years old? Feels like the dude has been in a league for a decade. Appears hes a FA after this year though ...

Odell Beckham ...
