I think the last thing the Eagles defense wants is a situation where Manning is having to sling it around. We are already a pretty pass happy offense, and Manning can lead a comeback as well as just about anyone. I don't see that defense being able to contain the passing attack.

Any defense seems to play with more confidence if they have a bigger lead. Now the philly defense only had the lead once in sunday's game which was only 3 points. So if their offense is able to get some quick and early TD's to give their defense 10-14 pt lead, then they may not look as bad as they did on sunday. But I am seriously hoping it doesn't turn out that way and the Broncos win in a rout.

So like how they started against the Ravens in week 1, the Eagles may put up more pts before the Broncos offense gets it going and by that time it maybe too late.

So I considered picking the eagles for the money in week 4 only because of the Broncos offense in the 1st qtr of both games. So I will see how it looks against the Raiders on monday night football.

If they could score 49 points on the Ravens with a slow start how many do you think they would score against the Eagles with a slow start?

And the Eagles have yet to score a TD on their first drive. At Washington they didn't score on the first drive and scored a FG on their second drive.

San Diego they didn't score on the first drive, FG on the second drive, punt on the third drive. So one FG in three possessions. They only scored ten points in total in the first half against the Chargers. They appear to be slower starters than Denver.

Over the offseason I redesigned all 32 NFL team logos. To celebrate the return of football, here they are. Feedback welcome! - Imgur

Some re-designed the logos of every team. Most of these look pretty damn good.

I just see them beating the Broncos because they are on the road and no one expects them to win. I could be wrong but those are the types of games the eagles always seem to win, the ones where they are heavy underdogs. Not sure why but they play their worst football at home and has not won a game at home since Sept 30th of last season. So even though they have 3 straight road games coming up i expect them to win atleast two of them because that's just what they do no matter who the coach or QB is in those situations

What a wild day in the NFL

There should be no change to the Raiders or Steelers.

Bucs logo may give kids nightmares.

Is that Jerry Jones in the Cowboys logo?
