Is it me or do the Eagles have no talent?

and a QB that's not even close... and that's the guy that makes it work. brunell will never have 49+ TDs in one season. And their WR corp is better. We're not the colts.

we're not the colts, but we're comparable. please belie dat.

Yes, but the Redskins had more playoff victories this year than the Colts.

He said on ESPN that Dallas would win the East, followed by the Giants and the Eagles.

For Phily sports writer Stephen A Smith's take on the Eagles read "Eagles lose: Rival is better while Birds are silent"Knocks Philadelphia for losing Owens to Dallas, where TO can earn $5 million more over the next three years than he would have made with the Eagles, and for not doing enough to improve.

I think we can't count the Eagles out. I mean look at us last year. If you showed the Redskins starting lineup to an Eagles fan they would have been asking us questions like whos Joe Salvae, Lemar Marshall, Chris Clemons, Ryan Clark, Renaldo Wynn, Chris Cooley, Ladel Betts (in terms of kick returns), and Derrick Dockery.
We've also heard stuff like this since 2004
1. You overpaid for C. Griffin
2. Are you crazy trading Moss for Coles?
3. Has anyone on your D-Line been drafted before round 7?
4. So will Brunell throw it over 20 yards today?
5. So you traded a 2nd round pick next year for a 3rd round pick this year and drafted a TE that might have some upside?

The Redskins (and Gibbs throughout his career) have made a living on guys coming out of no where and the Eagles have done like wise. If sport champions have taught us anything lately (Argentina, Detroit Pistons, Japan, New England, Chicago White Sox) its that paper champs don't always win. You simpily can't point to a lineup anymore and say alright this is the team. Anyway sorry if I steered the thread off course.

Very true, and it's a great way to do stuff. But the pieces that they won with are no longer there. Just Dawkins and McNabb and kinda Westbrook are the only carryovers from the first three division titles. So what they are left with at many positions are able bodied players. A few could end up having great careers, but overall, its a bad situation. But even McNabb, who's obviously been good for a long time, isn't a big reason why they were winning. Hell, even AJ Feeley went 5-1 with that team. And many of those parts (Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor, Duce Staley, Terrell Owens, Carlos Emmons, John Welbourn, Corey Simon, Derrick Burgess among others) have moved on. Which explains both why they have the cap room, and why they aren't very good.

It's not that they can't be good, they just are looking up at three powerhouse teams in their own division. Ironically, the weakness of those teams is one of the main factors that allowed them to be so good for so long.

troy and bobby were replaced by better guys (bobby taylor went to the seahawks and did NOTHING, and duce hasn't exactly lit things up since leaving either). burgess is one of the guys they really should have kept, but overall they've done alright.

im still not ready to right them off just yet.they are not the powerhouse they once were

[RTerps2002]

I don't believe you can write off anyone at this point in the year, espicially the Eagles. (Well, maybe the Ravens) There's a bunch of possiblities for that team out there, but all I'm saying is i don't think they have the firepower to go .500 in this division. That, I believe, is a neccessity for any NFC East team to make the playoffs.
