http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1785718
They just signed one of the top 10 backs in the league. They still have a bunch of draft picks.
They have the best front office in football. Combine that with one of the best coaches (he's gotta be in everyone's top 5), and you have a great team.

Why, because the dumbest team in the league, the bungles, helps them out?  I don't dislike the Pats but what a weird move.

There's room on the Eagles bandwagon, coach. The Eagles have a good chance to go 16-0 this year.

They would, if they didn't play in the NFC East.
the Skins and Boys will be much, much improved.
Coughlin will be rebuilding the Giants.
I see the Eagles having a great year...depending on three things:
1. McNabb must stay healthy
2. Running Back - they could use a little more consistency
3. Defensive backfield...losing those 2 guys could hurt alot...especially in their blitzing scheme, that calls for alot of one on one coverage.
But yes, I see them having a great season, and perhaps landing in the Bowl. They've knocked at the door enough times already.

I predict another year of chaos, injuries and crappy play by the Browns. I never liked Butch Davis from the start and he hasn't done anything to change my opinion of him.
Hopefully I'm wrong.

Well I'm stuck with another year of Marty Ball!
Translation: another top 5 draft pick next year!
It's sad when the draft is the most exciting part of your team's season.

Wow!
Katt really dislikes Butch Davis.
Here's the thing with Marty, and why I don't like him. It's not because he isn't a good coach. He is. But he used to coach the Chiefs an AFC West rival, and so it's hard to embrace him. Plus, he hasn't shown me crap, since taking over.

We saw a few years of Martyball in Cleveland also. Art Modell screwed up big time in some of his coaching choices. He could of had Cowher instead of Belichick. He hires Belichick, whom I really liked even though so many fans here despised his bad attitude, and then doesn't give him enough of a chance to straighten things out.
