Eagles trade for Stallworth

[saden1]

Stallworth is a great pick-up for them and that's definitely bad news for every team in the division. He can go deep and with Westbrook in the backfield, watch-out!

I'm officially worried about the Eagles because we really don't know what to expect from them. I doubt they'll stinking it up like everyone (including myself) thinks they will. I hope the Eagles have slow start.

Eagles will be the team to beat this year. It's a fact, so we need to deal with it. Hopefully Springs will be healthy when we play them.

Yeah, because trailing to the Houston Texans until just before halftime is the sign of a champion.

I'd be willing to give every team in the NFL the benefit of the doubt in the first half of the opening game. If you think about it, most everybody has the first game jitters, teams are feeling each other out, and it's not unusual even for the better teams to come out of the gate stumbling but finish the game the way they're supposed to. The Patriots were a good example of that yesterday.

For the record, the Eagles did beat the Texans fairly handily.

Team to beat is going overboard, especially if you're saying team to beat in the entire NFL. I'd say they're the strongest team in the NFC East besides us. Tough competition. We can take them if we have our act together though. Our coaches have theirs outclassed in the battle of wits; and our player personnel hangs with theirs in terms of talent.
