View Full Version : Can someone please tell me why the Eagles are Favorites to Win it all this Season???
TVFactFan 08-12-2003, 07:54 PM Mcnabb and the Eagles put only 10 points in The NFC Championship, they lose Hugh Douglas, Shawn Barber, and Brian Mitchell and they are going to win it ALL????
Tampa Bay is going to show the Eagles how to play ball on the first Monday Night Game of the season.
Brian Damage 08-12-2003, 07:57 PM I hate the Eagles, but they looked pretty crisp in their preseason game against the Saints.

Mcnabb only played 5 minutes so i can't go by preseason.
Brian Damage 08-12-2003, 08:12 PM I can't either, but I don't see anybody in the NFC East that is all that strong.
bandito 08-12-2003, 08:17 PM I don't know about the Eagles being favorites to win it all. I thought Tampa Bay was the favorite to repeat as champions, I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

In Las Vegasm they are saying that
the Eagles are 5-1 odds to win it all. Tampa is 6-1 odds. Those numbers will change after the Bucs beat the Eagles again on Sept 8th

Brian Mitchell doesn't pass or tackle, he just a kick returner. Besides if he was so good why didn't he lead the Eagles a Super Bowl last year? Brian Mitchell is not the same player as he was years past.

Brian Mitchell is a dangerous kick returner.
bandito 08-12-2003, 08:35 PM Brian Mitchell is a very dangerous returner, but he will not win the Giants very many games, if any games by himself
Tampa Bay is definitely the favorite to repeat. Philly will undoubtedly be on of the best teams in the NFC again. But as Sitcom_Analyzer mentioned, they took some hard losses on defense. Also, Duce Staley is holding out right now and probably won't be ready for Week 1 if he comes back soon. The running game isn't that solid without Staley. They obviously have a great QB and decent wide receivers. I think they'll win the NFC East. What do you guys think?

That maybe true, but Mitchell still has a lot of Moves

Whoever wins the NFC East willbe Giants or Eagles. Who ever wins the NFC will the Bucs, Giants, or Eagles.

Don't forget about the Rams or 49ers or Packers as darkhorses. THey all do have good chances. Maybe they aren't as good as the Bucs, Giants or Eagles, but you can't count them out. Anything can happen, as we all know with the Patriots winning the Super Bowl two years ago and the Rams before that.
Who do you guys like in the AFC? I like the Raiders again this year. The AFC seems significantly weaker than the NFC.

Jeff Garcia is Too inconsistent
Kurt Warner Lives in the pocket
Brett Farve throws TOO INTERCEPTIONS
But you still have two Super Bowl Champion QBs there. I don't think that fact can be discounted. They are definitely question marks, but if Warner gets some protection, I don't see any reason why he shouldn't repeat what he has done in the past.
The QB isn't the only factor determining whether a team can win or not. Tom Brady was solid, but unspectacular when they won the Super Bowl. He threw interceptions, but the surrounding cast came up big.
Brad Johnson isn't the greatest QB, but the defense was so good that Tampa Bay really didn't need to score too many points to win.
bandito 08-12-2003, 09:04 PM I agree JTC, the QB is a big part of the mix but as you say look at Brad Johnson. Average at best.

Yes Tampa is still lacking a solid QB

Jim Miller is Worst than Brad Johnson

Jim Miller is Worst than Brad Johnson Not really, he had no supporting cast. As with Johnson well I don't have to explain, look at the team and talent he played with.

I lost respect for Jim Miller in the NFC Fivisional Playoffs against the Eagles in 2002. He played like a little GIRL

I don't think the Raiders are going to win in the AFC WEst this year. I think they're too old. Just my opinion.
