So, ARE The Eagles.... "Back?"

after a big win like this all i want to do is watch “experts” talk about it and show clips. even when they did show clips from the gents,they talked about the bills the whole time! every time i watch espn i remind myself why i dont watch espn.

At this point it’s still a 4-team race. I will not tempt fate. Just like I know the Giants best performances are still ahead of us, that team has the potential to be dangerous later in the season. I see both the Eagles and Cowboys as wounded Grizzly bears, nothing to worry about if we’re careful, but if you don’t respect them, it could still be deadly.

the Eagles got a glimmer of hope. Two or three more losses in the next month and a half will change that drastically.

Until then they’re a threat like everyone else in the division.

when they win it again in February, they will become the first team to win 2 Superblows in 1 calendar year

and read 5 posts plus the comments top get a feel of what they are thinking about their team. The overwhelming majority are still realistic.

Most think they will challenge for the division, with plenty of mentions for the Cowboys as the biggest threat. No love for the G-men.

so that means they’re the best team ever and they will win the Superbowl. You can argue with me all you want but the Great Peter King agrees with me so do not waste your energy.

And they almost blew it, it’s good though get them looking past their next opponents and back to their losing ways

tho they really never ‘were’ so I guess you can be back to what never was, since you’re already there. THey’re still frauds, a terribly run team and extremely overrated. Beating Washington confirms nothing. Should be interesting to see them play Dallass in two weeks.

Doesn’t even include the Cardinals at the end.

but ESPN seemed to completely glorify a lost team playing on an average level, claiming that now they’re playing the sort of dominant and sound football of which they’re capable. I don’t buy the running stats in that game at all as an indicator of Philly actually believing in the running game. McCoy is much more talented than I originally thought and will definitely keep a team on its heals, but Philly and a sound running game doesn’t exist. The stats seemed to be there, but from a traditional running game standpoint, the Eagles put up nothing in the second half and evidently didn’t run out the clock enough to kill any comeback opportunities. The talk about the defense is comical, and the bit in this article about Castillo is hilarious. ESPN made it sound like Philly used brilliant schemes and athleticism to confuse and pick Grossman while replays seemed to be on the contrary. Come on, Rex finally showed his true colours, and I’m pretty convinced that the Eagles lose against any other QB in the league.

The win definitely gives them confidence and a chance, but they still have a lot to prove. I wasn’t happy about them coming into the season but still questioned them until they proved something, which they’ve yet to. They certainly have talent, but against upper tier teams, they will continue struggling. Vick’s come back down to Earth more, and I still think he can be a huge liability with his injuries and fumbles. To look ahead at the Giants, especially with a healthy Tuck back and some other healthy guys to hopefully defend down the field well or blitz or spy or run some creative scheme, our D and especially front four can really rattle Vick around, if he’s still even around by then. Just stop the big play please. I’m feeling good about the running game, and with the line getting healthier, Jacobs coming back, Bradshaw staying angry, and the Eagles having nothing up the middle right now, the Giants can get back to solid running. Let’s not forget that the Eagles secondary (Nnamdi) don’t like tackling, so can you say Bradshaw stiffy or Jacobs truck stick for a huge gain? Eli’s been an elite QB and most importantly, a winner, and with the way all of the receivers have stepped up, mesh that in with a running game and Castillo’s true inability to run a defence, and you have to like the Giants there. Plus, we’re at home; that’s just one game on Philly’s schedule that is no guaranteed win, and there are plenty more of these on the way. However, let’s take it one step at a time, of course, and worry about what’’s directly ahead. Unfortunately not an easy thing to do coming into a bye week. At least Rutgers plays Friday night. Plus, having been raised in south Jersey in a NY family has turned me so extremely bitter with Philly, so I’m just really hoping for a major meltdown with them. I can’t complain about their current state, but I’m not counting them out until they’re actually out. Are they back though? Absolutely not, and hopefully they’ll never be.

NO. theyre not back. i had 2 tvs going for the last 2 sundays. 1 wit the G-men, & 1 with the birds. at no point in either game were they dominant. if shanahan woulda tried to run the ball a lil earlier, like in the 1st qtr, they probably coulda pulled off the win. I kept asking myself, y arent they running? made no sense especially wit the way Rexy was playing. nothing about that performance made me think philthy is anywhere near what they were predicted to be.
