Remember how I said I am taking questions from members? Well, here we go!
HOW ARE THE REIGNING SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS , 0-3 IN PRESEASON?-RALH J JAMAL
That’s actually a very good question Ralph, as you all know that team is the Philadelphia Eagles.
Now I know a lot of people aren't going to care about this, and say " Dude it's preseason"
yeah I know it's preseason, but even for preseason, their starters, are playing woeful in winnable games ,against winnable teams!
Let's take a look at how the Eagles have performed so far. Their backups were terrible, in a 31-14, opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is something you need in an NFL season.
Okay so that's one game, now you have the New England Patriots , in a Super Bowl rematch.
That was awful, Nick Foles was 3/9 in pass attempts , fumbled once, and got sacked three times in a 37-20 loss, to Tom Brady and the Patriots. Also, the Eagles were awful on defense ,as they allowed two touchdowns from Brady, who completed 73% of his passes ( 19/26) , for 172 yards.
I am not taking anything away from Brady here, but the Eagles defense, played worse ,than they did in the Super Bowl, and that's taking into account that they put scrubs in. Oh,and I'm not even going to get into their 5-0 loss to the Browns, that was completely atrocious, no excuses there.
Also, Ralph, I think that their motivation is gone.
An example of this, is the 2016 Chicago Cubs, they finally broke the 108-year drought, and won the World Series.
However, next year, while they still wanted to relive that glowing feeling, you could feel less motivation the next year,
because they had already accomplished their goal. You could say, that guys love to win multiple championships, but when you're in a franchise like the Cubs, you don’t feel it as much, because they got that century-old monkey off their back. Same thing with the Eagles here, they finally won a Super Bowl last year and went nuts!
But now, I just don't think it’s there anymore.
2 DO YOU THINK ANYONE CAN UPHEAND THE EAGLES IN THE NFC EAST THIS UPCOMING SEASON ?- RALPH J JAMAL.
Yes Ralph I do , and I really like that follow up question to your previous one.
I am eliminating the Dallas Cowboys here, because they are finally in rebuild mode , but. I really think that the Giants ( assuming they stay healthy), and the Redskins have a really good chance , at overtaking the Eagles .
The Redskins, Have a good chance , because they added Alex Smith , and Adrian Peterson. Alex may not be , the player he was a few years back , but sometimes , players need a new enviorment , and I think Alex Smith is one of those players. I think , that he will thrive in the nations capital , as the Washingtion Redskins are a small market , and I think that he will feel comfortable, under that small setting .
Meanwhile , as for AD , we all know what he could do runing the ball. I think Smith , and Peterson , will make a great duo for this Redksins team.
As for the New York Giants however, it’s health.
We all know what happned last year , the Giants were supposed to be a great team , but were derailed by injurys, which led to all other things , including firing their Coach Ben Macado , mid-season , adding up to a 3-13 stint.
But the Giants have a well respected coach in Pat Shumer now , and have ther guys back healthy. I think Saquon , Manning , And Odel will mesh well on offense , and the defense will be led by rising star , Eli Apple , who looks to have a breakout year this season , as well as Jamoirous Jenkins .
The Giants must inpdove their special teams though .
So basically I think that if the Giants stay healthy , they can be a force to be rekened with in the NFC east, and who knows , maybe around the league !
