This is the best part of having a blog....... arguing with your partner. I have a slightly different take on the Bird's 2012 season.
Week 1- I agree it's the Browns, I mean it's the Browns. Win
Week 2- With an aging defense and Terrell Suggs achilles blown, and an offense with an incompetent offensive coordinator in Cam Cameron, also I see the Eagles winning there home opener. Win
Week 3- Arizona is a bad football team, whether it is Skelton or Kolb does it really matter, while it is tough going out west, I see a third victory. Win
Week 4- The reigning Super Bowl champs come into town for a nationally televised, Sunday night showdown, since 2008 the Eagles and Giant have played each other 9 times, since 08' the Eagles are 7-2. The Giants won't get have any luck in this game and the birds prevail and prevail big, making a statement, starting the season 4-0.
Week 5- In the battle of Pennsylvania the Eagles run into a big tough quarterback in Big Ben, but Ben doesn't have the best of offensive lines and who the hell is running the ball there Isaac Redman, Wallace is going to struggle in the first half of the season after missing all of camp and I see the Eagles winning this game with a late field goal to get to 5-0 and head in to an offensive shoot-out with the Detriot Lions.
Week 6- The Eagles can triple team, quadruple team Calvin Johnson, it doesn't make a difference he is going to get his, and Brandon Pettigrew can make plays and don't sleep on Titus Young (kids a burner ask my buddy Desorte). While the Eagles can score as well I don't seen them being able to keep pace with this offense. Going into the bye the Eagles suffer their first lost.
That's right I have them going into the bye 5-1 and at this point all Eagles fans with be sticking out there chests saying its about time, I knew it all along.
Week 8- I don't care who they play coming out of the bye under Big Red the Eagles don't lose and they should have beaten Atlanta last year, even with Vick going down in that game. After the game Andy admitted he didn't give Kafka a real chance to win the game, he limited the game plan, and they lost the game. Well not this year, Vick gets his payback against Atlanta at home and the Eagles get to 6-1.
Week 9- Well it's Monday night and were ready to strike...... oh that's right Hank Williams Jr is a bigot and no longer sings the Monday night football theme. Anyway the Eagles come into N'awlins, flying high, but Drew Brees and the Saints they don't care and get into a shootout with the Eagles and once again this doesn't workout for the Eagles. They fall to the Saints in a high scoring affair.6-2
Week 10- The Eagles come back home and on a short work week they face the Cowboys, alright despite the fact that I hate the Cowboys they have a good squad and they could win this game, ha i tried to be slightly unbiased here but I decided I don't need to be Eagles win and they win big. 7-2.
Week 11- This is the first time the Eagles will see Bob as Usi in NY calls him, I kind of like the Bob reference so I'm stealing it, that being said Shanahan should have stayed retired because so far this Redskins experiment is no good and with Dan Synder still overpaying for average talent, I see the Eagles winning big in DC. 8-2 Boom
Week 12- The Carolina Panthers come into town for a Monday game, Cam is a beast, I agree with Brett, but he has some other weapons, Greg Olsen isn't a bad tight end and they do have a solid group of running backs, and from what I have seen of Brandon LaFell, he could be a viable weapon. With all that being said, I don't feel they game stop the Eagles offense, Eagles win this by 2 touchdowns. 9-2 and looking for a bye
Week 13- Another prime time game in Dallas and the Eagles get a little payback for that beat down a couple weeks ago and beat the Eagles on a late Murray touchdown. 9-3 still in control
Week 14- At the New Sombrero and the Bucs. The Bucs with a new coach and some new offensive weapons, still have a bad defense as they have wasted a bunch of picks of d-linemen that haven't panned out. Coming off a loss the Eagles roll Tampa Bay. 10-3
Week 15- This is a real tough game Cincy is tough and playing them on a short week, I have a bad feeling they lose this game, I like Dalton and Green and just think the Eagles struggle to get up for this game. They lose this one disappointingly with a late pick by Mike to seal the win for the Bengals. 10-4
Week 16- The Redskins are in town and the Eagles are pissed because they are in a race with Green bay for home field and a top seed in the NFC. They make a statement sacking Bob 7 times and scoring on defense. The Eagles win big heading into the last game of the season. 11-4
Week 17- In the final game of the year normally starters sit, not in this game Andy wants the bye and home field and buts a beat down in NY on the Giants, Eagles win bye 17 and the starters get that rest in the 4th quarter. Eagles finish the regular season 12-4 and are the number one team in the NFC
I know people are going to read this and think I'm nuts, hey maybe I am but Vegas must be nuts too they only have the Birds as dogs in 3 games. I am saying they have a game wrong and they lose 4. Now like Brett, I agree these picks are barring there is no injuries. And who know they could totally just blow, I mean they do have a defensive coordinator who was an o-line coach, but they do have one of the best coaches in the NFL in Andy Reid. I could change picks throughout the year but for now, I am sticking with these. Feel free to agree or blow me out.
