Not to change the topic, but I'm loving the love fest from all the media and magazine types. The only good thing they can say about the Skins is that they had the 4th ranked defense last yr and now having aquired AH and signing Hall we may improve.

NFL.COM, NFL network, Lindy's magazine, Pro Football Weekly magazine, Beckett's magazine, and Athlon Sports magazine. All point out that we were 8-8 last yr and made no improvements on the offensive side of the ball. They point out that we have no faith in JC and looked to pick up another QB. Obviously he sucks. We have no WR threat save for Moss and ARE. Oh and we need help at the SLB. They all list us last in the division for 09.

Our biggest issue last yr was we had a new HC with a new offensive scheme. That alone would keep a team below 500. We broke even. Most teams in their second yr in the same offense do better. I have to imagine we will do better. Perhaps it's my positive thinking but I truly doubt it's cool aid. So I believe atleast 9-7 or better.

I know we have had issues at WR but it seems we have a plethora these days. Now some might say they are unproven. True, but again I have to believe Kelly will do better then last yr which was doing nothing at all. I have to believe Thomas will be a lot better having better knowledge of the plays, audibles, speed, and routes. I don't know if they will both turn out to be 1st rate caliber WR's but even if they are half that they help the team. If they can produce 2 TD's they have helped more then Thrash did last yr...on offense.

I have to imagine our TE Davis was imbarrassed with his lack of production last yr. As well as Cooley. I can see both having an awsome season.

I have to believe with a better knowledge of the offense our passing attack will be better openning holes for CP or Betts or whoever they put back there. Teams will not be able to stack the box.

All these things are almost givens. I have not mentioned anything that would be far fetched. Unless the team implodes these things I have mentioned can almost be expected. The problem is everyone is from the show me state. Show me what you can do consistantly or get off the field. Which is why no one picked the Cards to go to the SB. I don't know. I'm sorry for venting, but I'm just tired of all the "Love fest for the Eagles going to the SB in 09. I have not seen enough changes on their part either to indicate they are worthy of taking the #1 spot in the NFC East. Last yr McNabb was healthy and they went no where. Second to last. I keep reading how this yr McNabb will be healthy and he will have weapons. What weapons? Yes, their last yrs rookie will be better this yr no different then Thomas and Kelly. Lets see...they have one new weapon now and we have two. They picked up another WR, TE, and RB. Nice. It will be difficult for the WR and TE because they will have to learn the offense, speed of the NFL, routes, play calls, and audibles. I don't see them having much of a change untill next yr. The RB might find some success only cause he simply has to learn the blocking then just run for the whole. The Eagles O-line and D-line are their best parts. Their defensive secondary is beatable. No improvement. I see the same mediocre team from last yr.

Dallas might be able to right the ship better then the Eagles but I think they are suspect in the secondary as well, they have lost their best offensive weapon that teams had to account for, their QB is second rate like ours but can get the job done. Then there's the HC. He sucks.

I see the only real threat coming from the Giants. Untill they get bumped off their pedistal they are the top dog, but their pedistal is starting to crumble. They lost two great WR's and have not replaced them. I think honestly their time has come and gone. They are on the downward slide. This yr will show for it.

Agian I'm sorry for venting and sorry this was soo long.
