Barring injury to the ginger wonder, I'll predict 9-7, wildcard round win, divisional round exit. Progress.
Still need to improve the running game and pass coverage. Interested in seeing what Wentz does with better receivers.

How does a wop Yankee fan from Jersey become a Redskins fan? I guess I'll give you credit for not being a bandwagoneer in every sport.

I think 9-7 as well - tough schedule for the NFC East this year, playing both Western divisions. Might sneak into the playoffs.

Interesting movement on the game. Skins opened in Vegas at -2.5, but now every major house has the Eagles at -1 or -1.5. Four point swing means a ton of cash is being put on the Birds.CAA Flagship wrote:I predict 0-1 after Week 1.93henfan wrote:Barring injury to the ginger wonder, I'll predict 9-7, wildcard round win, divisional round exit.

Right. They had to move the line to get any fools from DC to bet on the game.CAA Flagship wrote:Fools......Money......93henfan wrote:

Better receivers this year, they actually hang on to the ball.

Tbh, both teams looked really mediocre. The injury to Darby is going to hurt.

And the long passes. Two badly underthrown deep passes I recall yesterday. First would have been a TD. Second should have been an INT.Gil Dobie wrote:Wentz still needs work on the short passes.93henfan wrote:

He'll be better when he's not running for his life. The Eagles still have a lot of holes to fill on this roster. Doesn't help when Jason Peters takes off half the game.

Ask yourself what other QB in the league would you trade Wentz for RIGHT NOW straight across
???
Maybe Carr (Maybe)

Re: 2017 Wentzadelphia Eagles Thread
I'm happy with Wentz, but he does have room for improvement, mostly on deep balls from the pocket. He seems to do worse when he's not improvising. He's incredible when he's running for his life. The two poorly thrown balls to Torrey Smith were from the pocket. Granted, he didn't have any receivers that fast last year either.

Yes at this moment Carr is a better QB
but Carr is also getting paid up over $20 Mil a season now (and frankly that's a factor)
It's not exactly a slam dunk
