The Eagles are looking REALLY tough on paper. We shall see how that materializes. I still think their chances depend on the health of Vick, which I am skeptical of.

Nonetheless, on paper, I agree the Eagles are shaping up as the toughest challengers to the Packers in the NFC.

I agree Porky. I don't think Vick will surprise nearly as many people this season, especially as the minor aches and pains start lingering. I remember the Giants giving him an ass kicking later in the year and on paper they got better as well. Vick may destroy some of the average defense, but against the likes of the Packers, Giants, Steelers, etc., I just don't see it, especially late in the year. He's not a championship QB alone. Although, the defense may very well be able to carry him. Babin, Cole, and Jenkins coming at you would be intimidating, not to mention they'll get many coverage sacks.

It will be interesting for sure, but I've been saying all along that as long as Rodgers is playing like he did throughout the playoffs, the Eagles will not beat the Packers.

I was shocked that he signed for 5 mil/yr, and as has been noted, it could essentially be a 1 year 4 mil contract...hell, he hardly signed for more than Crosby did.

As some originial posters said or alluded to, maybe he was playing more for the contract year, or maybe the injury history is more concerning than the Eagles realize, but it does seem like he got away a lot cheaper than I expected.

You seem to have some reading comprehension issues. I wasn't talking about whether I like the Packers losing players. I was merely addressing the fact that every year, people whine about Ted Thompson not dipping into the free agent market every year. Every year, with the exception of the 6-10 season, Ted Thompson teams do pretty well. I don't understand why people keep harping on the same issue.

Read my words. Don't read into my words.

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : That was terrible.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
beast (27-Dec) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (27-Dec) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (27-Dec) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
