Is it me or do the Eagles have no talent?

[Drift Reality]

Don't ever count them out. Football isn't a game of individuals, it is about a team - how it gels and how these guys work together. The Eagles had one good year after five of dominance, so I'd be careful before discounting them anytime soon.

They still have major problems at WR and that will hold them back. And then there's the non-existent running game, both in terms of a 20+ carry a game back and a overall lack of committment by Reid to pounding the ball.

right i think coaching actually has a lot to do with it. you cant score points if you dont use your strengths.

true, but a lot of times it seemed last year that the skins played to the level of their opponents. we were supposed to get stomped by SD and we played right with them until overtime. same with the raiders. we were supposed to whoop that ass and lost to them at HOME.

I am surprised the Eagles did not show more aggression landing a wide receiver. They put up no fight for Randle-El. Right now, Reggie Brown is their deep threat. ?!?

TO (2004):
2 for 24, 1TD
6 for 46

2 of his worst 3 games were against us (and he left the other bad game early due to a BAD injury).

Reggie Brown (2005):
5 for 94, 1 TD
7 for 77, 2 TDs

I wouldn't knock brown so harshly, he had field days on us compared to TO.

In fact, 30% of his yardage and 75% of his TDs came in 2 games versus us. (average yardage/game should be 6.25% of his yearly total, he had 5 times that)

I dont think you can say they dont have any talent, I think they have a good bit. Donovan, westbrook, (I forgot the damn TE name) plus they should have a pretty good pick for a WR. decent O line. Their strength is the D. Kearse, now darren howard, mcduggal in the middle. Trotter, now barber, dawkins. They are still talented. Dont ever rule out the eagles, Reid is a good coach. But I do think we will be mostly battling w/ Dallas and New York. Talent wise, us and G-Men stand alone in the division.

i also think that our offense is due for an explosion. if everyone gels and we stay healthy, the skins offense has the talent to be top 3, if not the top. we have more weapons than the colts and if brunell can just hit the open guy, no defense shoudl be able to plan for us.

we can't touch the colts with weapons. they have peyton and a better receiving corp.

you have to have a running game before it can become a question mark...

i disagree. the QB is making a lot of those receivers look better than they are. harrison is still elite, but i feel that moss might be just a step under him. we have a better TE/hback, better RB, and two WRs that at the very least have the potential to at least COMBINE for more yardage than WAyne.

they have harrison who w/o a doubt is better than santana only because of his experience and his records. they have reggie wayne who should be a number 1 receiver somewhere and better than Lloyd, randle and patten, maybe even moss.they have stokley who is awsome and very accounted for by defenses and is reliable to make the big catch. then you have dallas clark who i think is about the same level of cooley but more experience.then you have PEYTON MANNING who is def better than brunell, campbell, collins, randle el, and anoyone else who think they can throw combined!but we do have a running back who is top 10 running back and they dont have one.
this isnt a knock on the skins but dont compare our offense to colts. if anything compare it to the rams or the cheifs of last yr but not the colts

I din't read anything in peter's colum about the eagles being the team to bet next year or anything like it it was mostly all about TO.

oh i can and i will. dallas clark and stokley only had the numbers they did due to that running game with edge and the threat of wayne and harrison. the same could easily be said for us except we DO have that great running back.
