Predicting huge year...

[Birds4life81]

The potential this team has is absolutely ridiculous. I see a SB in the near future

Bradford has a good preseason game against third stringers and Philly starts predicting 14 wins lmaoooo

 

[Iggloo]

It was your first string defense. Here is what your local paper had to say:

No doubt still burning inside from a 53-20 loss on the same field in early November, the Eagles got a 67-yard kickoff return by rookie Raheem Mostert to open the game and the rout was on.

They ran an astounding 44 plays in the first half against what for the most part was Green Bay's starting defense, gained 21 first downs and 325 yards and left leading, 39-14, before fans who seemed either disbelieving or horrified.

"It looks (expletive) unstoppable," one scout said in reference to Kelly's spread offense that routinely snapped the ball with 15 to 20 seconds remaining on the play clock.

A painful exhibition for Packers

Again it's preseason. Take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Iggloo]

I do. I know some of my board mates are getting a little overly excited. But you would be too, trust me...

 

[Wings]

I said 14-2 long before the packers game...so what is this clown talking about?

 

[Birds4life81]

We're optimistic, and there's many reasons to be. We'll see how the season shakes out, but I have high, VERY high hopes!!

If my Defense looked as much like hamburger as yours did, i'd be saying the same thing.

This Offense just needs Bradford to be accurate when he does throw. I think this Offense will run the ball more than most teams out there as long as our 3 headed RB trio stays healthy. With such a diverse ground attack, the opportunity's will open up in the pass-game ... Bradford just has to hit the open guys and stay away from getting hurt. I doubt he'll be throwing the ball more than 30-32 times per game.

oh comeon.. we should expect at least as much as McNabb right? He should be able to throw it 50 times in a game, and win it all. (tongue in cheek)

Think everyone would be this excited if Reid were still the HC?

Just saying.. if we look at a draft 3 years after a person is drafted to see how well they really did... it's about time to see whether he was truly the genius we couldn't do without - or if we made the right decision to get rid of him. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Gonna be a lot of fake injured defenders against us this year.

Bradford's the QB we always needed during the Reid years too. We finally have one guys!

Las Vegas has evidently lowered the odds on an Eagles Superbowl from 20-1 down to 10-1 which makes the Eagles with the 4th best odds.

The hype train has definitely left the station and I know I am on it. There is every reason to be bullish on this team and everyone is seeing that.

Relatively easy schedule. I suspect the Eagles would be favored in 14 of the 16 regular season games at this point with the only outliers being the games at Dallas and New England. So lets go with that and predict a 14-2 season.

 

[eaglesnut]

I was the one predicting 16-0 months ago. It's going to take the league quite a while to catch up to us this year. We're firing on all cylinders.

 

[SJ76]

I just have that feeling....call it a hunch....Eagles 2015 record 14-2....yep, I said that.

At least wait until you see Bradford against a legit defense NOT in the preseason.

 

[Susky]

And receivers who don't drop passes.

 

[Funk]

This.

Even as a longtime admirer of Bradford, I'm still avoiding falling victim to the hype until the downs actually matter.

That is not what predicting is about. In predicting, you form an opinion on future events based on what you know today. This is not a few irrational fans predicting a huge year. The Vegas line has went nuts on the Eagles. Professional predictors who make their livelihood on predicting are jumping on them.

Fact is the Eagles have faced three teams predicted to be in the playoffs and blown all three of them away. There is legitimate reason to be excited about this team.

He is going to have to get used to playing with a lead here.

 

[Taz]

Bradford has looked really good, you simply can't take that away from him. If he plays like this in the regular and stays healthy look out this team is going to be very very tough. The thing that I am most impressed with the depth on this team. They are deep.

 

[Jakology]

4-6.
