Agree with you there, Speedskater. Same can be said with the World Series on baseball
The Eagles are a big question mark, they should be better than the Chip Kelly disaster, but how much better is unknown with no proven wide receivers, holes at left tackle and right guard, and a suspect secondary. I'm thinking Steelers 11-5 with a good run in the playoffs. Eagles I'm predicting 6-10 obviously missing the playoffs.
Once again the Cowboys did a nice job of beating the Cowboys.
Not exactly.The Giants defense played well and was able to limit their running game.While the last play was a bonehead move; if he had gone out of bounds that would have been an extremely long field goal attempt. Certainly not even close to a certain make.George
The Giants may well win the Super Bowl this year but I imagine the more rational among their supporters are likely in "wait and see" mode after just one game. After all, they barely squeaked by a Cowboys team with a rookie QB playing his first game ever in the NFL. Much better than a loss in the long view but only slightly encouraging when considered as a precursor of how they will do in the next 15 games. Good luck, in any case.I didn't see any of the Arizona - N.E. game but I'll hold that up as a bigger road victory than anything else this week so far.
I have no illusions of who the Giants are and my expectations are well short of a Super Bowl win.That said, I ALWAYS love beating the Cowboys!!George
Yeah, if they beat the Bears then we may have to revise that 6-10 if Lane Johnson doesn't get suspended.
Well it's only preseason, but with the thought that it's better to look good than look bad, both my Eagles and Steelers appeared like the starters had it together in the dress rehearsal game. The Steelers have a more promising season with DeAngelo Williams replacing Bell for what is it now, 3 games, and the defense looking much improved. The Eagles are a big question mark, they should be better than the Chip Kelly disaster, but how much better is unknown with no proven wide receivers, holes at left tackle and right guard, and a suspect secondary. I'm thinking Steelers 11-5 with a good run in the playoffs. Eagles I'm predicting 6-10 obviously missing the playoffs.
I would be surprised to see the iggles repeat the two 10-6 seasons, and a playoff berth, that Chip Kelly put up in your 'disaster'. Or even counting the 7-9 third one, that's a respectable 27-20. Coach Fisher would kill for that. Somehow, he's still coaching.Your Steelers were 29-18 in that same stretch. A disaster?
Actually Chip was 6-9 his final season with the Eagles, he was fired before the final win in week 17. Just looking at the record for all three years it looks better than it actually was. He started off strong with a 10-6 season and making the playoffs. The next year started out okay, then got progressively worse toward the end of the season collapse and missing the playoffs. The decline continued through the final season with no hope of improvement. All the while he was getting rid of all the talent Reid had built up, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Macklin, Evan Mathis, dumping Pro Bowlers like he had a college roster of unlimited talent. He added no one to make up the deficit. Jeffery and all the Philly fans had enough. Yes, it was a disaster that goes way deeper than the cumulative record.
[nThe World Series comes by it legitimately ... the original sponsor was the New York World newspaper, and that's whom it's named after.Well,maybe not http://www.snopes.com/business/names/worldseries.asp
So I waited for 20 years for the Rams to return to LA, and that was what I get?28-0, destroyed by the niners, and the game was probably not that close At some point, I think rams were 1 out of 9 on 3rd down conversions.Offense was non existent, defense only a little better.The niner's with Chip as the coach may be better then expected, but I can't believe they are that good, so looking at a long season.
