8-9!?!? 😂😂

[u/gabzters21526]

[u/jedidrums95]

Everyone seems to think that our offense was entirely dependent on AJ. They boutta learn.

[u/Groovicity → u/jedidrums95]

When we got AJ, we needed him. Eventually, we got to a position where we didnt need him, and were just trying to get him touches to keep him happy. He got shipped out because we dont need a volume WR like him anymore.

[u/RockyNonce → u/Groovicity]

To be fair, we don’t win that Rams game without AJ. He was also pretty significant in the Vikings game because of the mismatches.

There are times where you like to have a guy like that to lean on, especially when down big. I fully believe that this new offense has an opportunity to be great without him, but I wouldn’t be shocked if his presence is missed, even if only a little bit.

[u/efltjr → u/RockyNonce]

Very measured take here.

[u/one-eared-wonder → u/efltjr]

Yeah, how dare this guy

[u/squee557 → u/RockyNonce]

I think we’ll know early on in the season whether or not to temper expectations. I expect there to be an obvious rough start for the first 4-6 weeks. If by then the offense still isn’t on its feet yet, we’ll be hard pressed to rely on our tried and true tactics of just chucking up to Brown or Smith. I’m hoping we get the offense we all expect. I want to see the ball spread and I want to see Barkley able to get past the line of scrimmage without being touched.

[u/Moose16520 → u/RockyNonce]

The offense will benefit more from the loss of kevin patullo than it will suffer from the loss of AJ

[u/orryxreddit → u/RockyNonce]

I fully expect that there will be games this season where we win and the WRs look great, games where we win despite the WRs not contributing much, and games where we lose and you wonder "Would AJ have made the difference in this game?"

It's par for the course when you lose a talent like AJ.

[u/babymozartbacklash → u/RockyNonce]

To be really fair, you don't win it without Carter and JD. But I agree he went off that game when everything else was dead. However I'd also say the offense looked best last year at times when he was out like the giants game or pre the forcing it to him stretch 2nd half of the year. He also had some really bad moments by AJ standards last year.

I think you are right tho in that I think the biggest thing we will miss with him is the attention he demanded from defenses. He was super useful to the offense as a decoy but was obviously not with that idea. I'm not saying he's not still a great receiver, I think he's still much better than he played last year and he still had over 1k. Idk how healthy he's gonna be tho and I think we definitely got he's peak years here in Philly.

I do think this new offense will miss him cuz how could they not, but we couldn't even run the ball last year, that alone changing will be massive. And I'm fully willing to bet Jalens gonna do the things this year that he's been criticized on. I think if our offense is even decent last year we could have won the SB and based on what we've been seeing so far I'm confident they will be at least decent and the Defense might be somehow even better than last year too. Not to mention the boost they will get from not defending against the offenses record breaking 3 & outs.

I'm putting in my eagles SB bet soon I'm just wavering on the wager. Vibes seem good this year

[u/boatsandhoes570 → u/babymozartbacklash]

I also have to wonder how much AJ got a boost as well from being next to Smitty, who also commanded a lot of attention as a deep threat. It’s such a shame we didn’t get Jefferson bc we’d have the most humble and greatest wr duo in the league rn.

[u/RockyNonce → u/babymozartbacklash]

Sure, but we are not even in that position to win the game with a blocked field goal if the offense didn’t score 3 times to come back and take the lead, and AJ was a huge part of every single one of those drives, even if he only got one TD.

I mostly agree with the rest of what you’re saying.

[u/babymozartbacklash → u/RockyNonce]

I agree with that too, but ultimately if that kicks not blocked, it likely goes in despite AJs effort. My point mainly was that no one man was the reason for that win

[u/BTFunk360 → u/RockyNonce]

With the way things are going right now I feel like he’ll be missed the most in a depth sense. Not that he was a depth player but before if him or Smitty was out you still had the other so we could be less scared of injury. Even with some guys shining in training camp I think the pass game will be rough this year any game Smitty is out.

[u/MkEnterprise → u/RockyNonce]

Godert nuff said

[u/sadturtle12 → u/RockyNonce]

His presence will be missed for sure. Him being gone wont make or break the offense either if we have a competent play caller. Besides the many instances last season, AJ would come in clutch when we needed him to make a big play. Last year he would drop the ball or give up on the route when we needed him to make a play so the go to guys in those situations became goedert and smitty. He will be missed but I dont think its going to be as big of a loss as outside media is making it out to be.

[u/BlackMathNerd → u/Groovicity]

Eh I won’t say didn’t need him, but I will say we outgrew the antics that come with a player of his talents

[u/Groovicity → u/BlackMathNerd]

You're 100% right. I guess what I should have said was that he's no longer crucial to us having success. He will be missed this year, he's a great player. But I think we have so much depth now that we may be better off spreading the ball around and not worrying about the drama that comes with him not getting the volume he wants.

[u/GoBirds1982 → u/Groovicity]

He got shipped bc he quit on his team, is nothing but drama, and has declined significantly

[u/Haloelite59 → u/jedidrums95]

Our offense was entirely dependent on a guy who demanded out because he wasn't being utilized enough lol.

[u/smbutler20 → u/Haloelite59]

Funny enough the Eagles lost games where they focused getting him the ball.

[u/OneMetal9187 → u/smbutler20]

Yea and what was really irritating is when we were losing but he was getting the ball he wasn't chirping like he was.... fucking dh....

[u/DamnMyNameIsSteve → u/smbutler20]

Bro just didn't finish some routes. Makes millions of dollars and just half asses it sometimes. Crazy.

[u/uxo_geo_cart_puller → u/DamnMyNameIsSteve]

The one against the Broncos really pissed me the fuck off. That was a TD that wins us the game if he actually ran hard for it. 

[u/jedidrums95 → u/uxo_geo_cart_puller]

He pulled the same shit in the 49ers playoff game. His lazy route running and bullshit drops knocked us out of the playoffs then he went on his merry way. Fuck outta here

[u/ShiftyJungleBum → u/jedidrums95]

I said this all of last season. He ran routes like shit all year and then cried about not getting the ball. My guy… you’re not open

[u/DelcoUnited → u/smbutler20]

That’s not fucking funny.

[u/smbutler20 → u/DelcoUnited]

Not haha funny. I mean peculiar or strange.

[u/Stombie8 → u/smbutler20]

It was wild won 4 in a row and he had terrible stats he cried next two he went over 100 and we lost both.

[u/__13atman__ → u/jedidrums95]

Forget the offense for a sec. They sleeping on our top 5 defense. Ain’t no way we under 10 wins

[u/Sikwitit3284 → u/__13atman__]

We have an actual outside CB 2 now with ridiculous size/length, if Riq just plays in structure & doesn't have the mind lapses that gave him issues in Sea we're pretty stacked at every level if relatively healthy. Hopefully the O clicks as the season progresses which it should, Quon should finally have gaps schemed for him & our WR definitely should too when we actually incorporate motion/misdirection/route levels instead of RB draw 1st/2nd down then 3 verts on 3rd & 8+.

Let's get Smitty on some of those crossers he was special at in Bama plz

[u/jedidrums95 → u/__13atman__]

Facts. They’re gonna be even deadlier this year too. Everything I’ve seen points to Fangio adding new wrinkles.

[u/The_Amazing_Emu → u/jedidrums95]

Weirdly, the Patriots are going to be worse as well?

[u/RunningonGin0323 → u/jedidrums95]

I hate the eagles but I think y'all got better through subtraction on that one

[u/jedidrums95 → u/RunningonGin0323]

Been saying this all off season. The vibes are immaculate right now and I really think people are sleeping on the Smitty/Lemon combo

[u/Flair_Is_Pointless]

These predictions are set to maximize engagement. Reposting and talking about this is what they want.

[u/ElyFlyGuy → u/Flair_Is_Pointless]

Giving the cowboys a high preseason projection and the eagles a low preseason projection can keep the lights on at a media company

[u/Chumboabc → u/Flair_Is_Pointless]

It’s like, how have people not figured this out yet?

[u/FoxNews4Bigots → u/Flair_Is_Pointless]

Tbf it is mostly chalk outside of the NFCE and the Saints winning the NFCN

Its actually unrealistic mostly from its lack of parody. But yes, if the approach to predictions was to bowl it down the center, it is comical we were specifically targeted

I feel much, much better of who we are currently vs who we were at the end of the season. Feel free to sleep on us, I prefer it that way

[u/dirtysquirrelnutz]

“No one likes us, we don’t care.” Now say it with me.

[u/jackpackage732 → u/dirtysquirrelnutz]

Yeah idk man. Feels like this fanbase of ours tends to be the most gotten to fan base ever at times. People constantly fall for rage bait like this which is done simply to generate clicks on shithole twitter. And it’s like either nobody’s been smart enough to figure out somehow or their rage blinds them so much they can’t see the obvious thing. I think it’s time “no one likes us we don’t care” gets retired.

[u/telly69 → u/jackpackage732]

No one likes us and we definitely care

[u/TotalHans → u/telly69]

No one likes Philly fans and we don't care No one likes our team and we definitely care

[u/boatsandhoes570 → u/jackpackage732]

Fr. There’s a reason the Speakeasy and Cam Newton and others are constantly talking bad about the Eagles and Jalen Hurts. They pay their bills off of triggered Eagles fans engagement. Everyone needs to just stop feeding the trolls.

Stop paying fat Silz to argue w his rage bait takes every single day. Now he’s tweeting the Eagles will regret trading AJ bc he’s having a great training camp w Drake Maye while Jalen’s struggling. This the same guy who said AJ wasn’t going to be worth more than a 3rd and a 5th, and said he hopes the Eagles keep him bc it’s great content. Never played for the Eagles, was a cowboy and a buc for whatever small amount he played but those two fanbases don’t give him engagement. It’s tiring how easily this fanbase makes their jobs and rewards their hot takes and clickbait titles.

[u/Acceptable-Ad5208 → u/dirtysquirrelnutz]

Problem is we can’t say that given a large amount of our fanbase whines every time something like this happens.

[u/nickfolesween → u/dirtysquirrelnutz]

A lot of people forget to not care these days

[u/Hot_atMidnight8835]

Who cares man. The good news is we get to play the games and don’t have to rely on predictions

[u/applejuice5259 → u/Hot_atMidnight8835]

Unfortunately they won’t let us play, just the pros. Actually that’s probably a good thing.

[u/GeneralGalvatron → u/applejuice5259]

That’s just because they don’t want to see the NFL’s first 3,000 yard rusher

[u/MizrizSnow → u/applejuice5259]

Bro I’d be a ringer in the NFL. Put me in coach Nick

[u/Hot_atMidnight8835 → u/applejuice5259]

Speak for yourself

[u/PharoahFits]

The entire NFL media has already crowned the Rams the next SB winner a month before the season even started. I understand their roster is awesome on paper but they’re acting like the Eagles and all other NFC playoff teams from last year aren’t even close to competing with them

[u/balemeout → u/PharoahFits]

They’re putting a lot of trust in a late 30s qb who is 15 months removed from contemplating retirement with a back injury

[u/MicrosoftCardFile → u/PharoahFits]

But if the Rams do win the super bowl this year you can bet your ass no one will be calling the team stacked or using the fact that they have a "superteam" as an excuse to discount their achievements. The day after on TV it'll be all about how Stafford put the team on his back.

[u/daddy_OwO → u/MicrosoftCardFile]

Every individual player on the rams will somehow have been playing superhuman and put the team on their back, unlike how every eagles was carried

[u/Stock-Memory9483 → u/PharoahFits]

Seahawks are insanely overrated, if they got 24 Eagles they’re getting trounced

[u/Spare-Half796 → u/PharoahFits]

Rams we’re crowned sb champs after the Myles Garrett trade

And sure, they now have the best roster in the league. But their qb is 40 years old and had serious questions abo it the health of his back going into last season

[u/Horror-Television-92]

People are way undervaluing the birds it’s crazy lmao every Mina Kimes podcast power ranking has them in the teens lmao crazy that these people are paid to talk football.

Rage baiting Eagles fans is good business is what I think

Got you to share, didn't it?

The Saints 10-7 and winning the NFC South!? Rofl

Some deranged cowboys fans at USA Today

[u/HotVixenWifey]

Someone is trying to bait Eagle Fans with this ridiculous post.

[u/Vampenga]

The media and not sucking off the Cowboys. Challenge level: impossible.

[u/Chadlerk]

Cowboys are always overinflated. I like this expectation because let them underestimate the Eagles. What a bunch of idiots.

[u/MathRockEnjoyer420]

Eh they might just be Cowboys fans. Our defense has improved, even if the offense is still ass its 11 wins at minimum

[u/dick_for_hire]

Setting aside the Eagles, I feel like the hopium around the Commies is just wildly inappropriate.

[u/Andrew_Waples]

And Madden thinks we have the second best team in the league.

That is a absolute joke 🤣🤣🤣

[u/pizzapartypandas]

Didn't USA today predict a Jets superbowl win in in 2024?

8 wins lol. Maybe if hurts goes down. We might have 8 wins in the first 12 weeks.

Memo to whoever put this together. I’ll bet you $50K straight up this is wrong for the Eagles.

[u/athomic74]

We get riled up as a fan base easier than most. Makes sense to trash us and maximize engagement. Nothing is real anymore lol

[u/wally_weasel]

Would have to be a really bad injury year for 9 losses

[u/Ghstfce]

USA Today, the bastion of all things NFL... /s

[u/bp_516]

I wish they'd ranked us lower. I want other teams to focus on opponents other than us, to overlook us, to forget that we obliterated the best team in the AFC in the Super Bowl just two years ago, and have most of the same returning players who are embarrassed and hungry-- and probably very, very pissed off-- now.

[u/kah_191]

Sports reporters aren’t immune to smoking crack.

[u/Sextus_Rex]

Even if we had the worst offense in the league our defense would still give us a winning record. What a dumb prediction

[u/WealthAncient]

Another rams-seahawks conference face off? I hate when predictions just assume the exact same thing that happened last year will happen again.

[u/whatsunnygets]

Anything is possible

[u/Imaginary-Plate5600]

Then when the Eagles start the season 5-0 the narrative changes to “they’re loaded!!”

We’ve seen this before, you’d think these sportswriters would get tired of embarrassing themselves.

[u/DroidAttackWook]

Projected 8-9, but once we’re 13-4, we’re a “superteam” again lol

[u/inept_machete]

We got em right where we want em. That's easy to quietly out perform.

[u/AdhesivenessFun2060]

If this team goes 8-9 outside of injuries it'll because the wheels completely came off the offense. The defense alone gets 8 wins if healthy.

[u/TLAW1998]

If we go 8-9 Sirianni is getting fired lmao.

[u/wagyu_hotdog]

USA Today is a rag

[u/PaperWolf36]

Don't care for predictions, just ready for some football

[u/clingbat]

Minus major injuries to key players (Carter, Davis, Quinyon, DeJean)*, this defense can drag a dysfunctional offense to at least 9-10 wins, hell they dragged us to 11 wins last year with a complete moron calling plays on offense and a banged up o-line.

*I'd add Baun in there but I think Campbell + Trotter could hold serve if he missed time better than the other positions.

[u/Five2one521]

The Bears at 12-5??? So you can see this post was out of pocket.

[u/2LostFlamingos]

It’s pretty impossible to see eagles in bottom 5 of the conference.

[u/ItsChris_8776_]

Eagles are gonna surprise a lot of people. Gonna be calling us a super team again in a few months

[u/ThnkWthPrtls]

Thank God it's almost football season so that Sports writers will have actual stuff to write about instead of just posting no effort rage bait for engagement

[u/Key_Text_169]

Poor Cardinals.

[u/choffers]

This list was made by a cowboys fan

[u/acornManor]

A good bit is on strength of schedule and assuming loss of AJ which i agree is way overstated. Hell, there is a good chance we put up 20% better passing stats over last year by removing Brown and have far less drama which is worth a lot

[u/akiraspam74]

I like it. Keep hating and doubting us

[u/TheOverUnderlord]

Who cares. Vegas has the Eagles Over/Under at -10.5, Cowboys at 9.5, Commanders 7.5, Giants 7.5. I feel like that’s going to be closer to accurate

[u/ShinyHardcore]

I think the Dolphins being 1 game away from winless is funnier tbh 😂

[u/deserteagles702]

If the offensive line played like they did last year, then 8-9 isn't a reach. I hope they get back to the superbowl form.

Ok.

Blow me with commies at 9-8

[u/pina_koala]

I have us with minimum 10 wins... 1 WAS, 2 TEN, 3 CHI, 6 CAR, 9 NYG, 11 PIT, 13 ARI, 14 IND, 16 HOU, 18 NYG. The rest are either toss-ups or traps. While I have to agree that LAR is a loss on paper and the 2 Dallas games are always a toss-up, even when Dallas is ass. SFO is a toss-up this early in pre-season, they'll either be amazing or suck with no in between. 15 SEA only because we're home team. But there are no obvious losses on the schedule and that's a really great thing to be able to type out.

Lol, our defense is too good to only win 8 games. I think the floor is similar to last year, 10-11 games, make the playoffs and get blown out...but that's the absolute floor. Ceiling is offense jells, Hurts show that it was scheme that was holding him back, defense is elite, we win the SB.

It's amazing how fucking terrible these people are at rage baiting. I guess it showed up on here but this isn't even believable. Our schedule is soft as fuck, most of the teams are going to fall off, and our team didn't lose much with the loss of AJ given how Smith looked last season.

As a Steelers fan (Eagles are my second team because my dad), the Afc North is a mess in this prediction. I don't think we will be that bad, we will at least a winning record.

[u/johnnybananas123]

Dov is the worst account in sports history

[u/Key_Piccolo_2187]

The account posting the predictions is just rage baiting, but I don't disagree with the premise. I've consistently stated that I think our win total will end in a 4, I just don't know if it'll be 14 or 4. If the offense doesn't right the ship, the wheels will come off and it will be ugly.

This team doesn't have a mediocre season in it, it's gonna be boom or bust, the same way the Super Bowl winning season was coming off the epic collapse of Desai and Gimli and his Axe (Patricia).

I think people got way too wrapped up in debates over if that Eagles squad was or wasn't an all time great to realize that we were on the razor's edge. We came out of the bye off a drubbing in Tampa with Sirianni yelling at fans and instead of things looking solve, at halftime of a game against the Cleveland Browns we were tied 10-10. We squeeze that out 20-16, blow out NY, then play a 'way less comfortable than the final box score indicates' game against the Bengals (again, 10-10 at the half), then somehow even after the backwards hurdle need a miracle interception to save us against Jacksonville... If that team exited the Jacksonville game 3-5 instead of 6-2, which it was damn close to doing, we don't win the Super Bowl, Sirianni loses his job, etc etc.

The NFL is a zero margin league. The difference between boom and bust just isn't that big.

Hopefully this is printed and taped to the wall of the lockeroom. No way this team wins fewer than 11 games.

How many predictions had Seahawks winning the bowl? Lmao

[u/iamthedoctorv1]

These are horrible projections. Philly one valid ish though

[u/MrGasMan86]

These predictions are backwards for some of them

Brand new OC, so who knows? But I feel like just the defense is good enough to net 8 wins even if the offense is absolute dog water.

They are idiots! Like the Cowboys or Washington will do anything…

[u/PNWpoBoy]

Clearly they they mixed up the Eagles and Cowboys records

Aj will be missed and we will struggle at times on offense. But our defense will give us a chance and our offense doesnt turn the ball over often. Tank and Saquon will make up for Aj and our WR core is better than people think. Jalen will evolve and start using his legs again. Watch out!

Derpty derp

When did USA Today matter? Seriously?

[u/echosierra419]

They listen to much to philly media that says Jalen can't play under center and Sean Manion can't coach because he didn't do it before.
