also when vince young called this a dream team he was referring that its a dream team for him to relocate to. He can sit behind vick and learn from one of the better qb coaches in the league in andy reid...

I would tend to agree because any teams fans that boo's Santa Claus and throws batteries at the opposing team does tend to qualify itself for your comments sir. Sad but true

are u kidding me? this still comes up? what relevance does this have on the city of philly when most people in that stadium are dead...

23-1 for the dream team now. Most would blow their loads if that were the odds to start the season.

Eagles -3 is a gift.

you are completely unfamiliar with the state of the Eagles defense and o-line, right? you know, two of the most important facets of a winning team...

[Cap dat 4ss]

Vince Young - tried to ucommit suicide
Michael Vick - abused and killed dogs
Desean Jackson - is just a punk, dropped a TD and turned it into a fumble just because of how dumb he is
Ronnie Brown - tries to seriously throw the ball forward as a RB as hes getting tackled?

Honestly... this is the dumbest team ever assembled in NFL history. They have mental midgets at all of their key positions, and they aren't very likable. I will root for this team to fail, and they are doing a great job at it.

settle down you immigrant fukk. phi will be fine. Theyve got a free pass in Buff this weekend, they will get back on track. Their sole problem right now is the D coor

The conventional book on Asomugha is that his coverage skills are so superior that few teams will throw passes at him.


There's an element of truth to that, as Asomugha has finished as the least-targeted cornerback in pro football for each of the past three seasons. But that may be as much due to the Oakland Raiders' defense, Asomugha's previous team, as anything else. Oakland allowed more rushing yards in 2008-10 than any other team in the NFL, so its opponents could pound the ball on the ground to their hearts' content and not have to worry about throwing at Asomugha.


There is also the fact that when Asomugha has been thrown at over the years, his coverage metrics don't exactly spell Darrelle Revis.


His backers will say this is because of the low sample size, but check out Asomugha's composite coverage metrics during the past seven years:


Nnamdi Asomugha against the pass

Asomugha's success defending the pass, based on his numbers from the past seven seasons.

Season	Att.	Inc./Off Pass Int. Pen.	Yards	YPA	Success Rate	INTs
2004	51	14	413	8.1	27.5%	0
2005	69	36	435	6.3	52.2%	0
2006	61	33	421	6.9	54.1%	8
2007	35	22	244	7.0	62.9%	1
2008	30	15	162	5.4	50.0%	1
2009	25	9	228	9.1	36.0%	1
2010	29	15	191	6.6	51.7%	0
Total	300	144	2094	7.0	48.0%	11

Three-hundred pass attempts ought to be enough to get past the low sample size argument. Since the league average for yards per attempt (YPA) is usually around 7.5, Asomugha's 7.0 YPA in this time frame means he is somewhat above average but not anywhere near Revis' level (career 5.3 YPA).

The Eagles remind me of the city, Philadelphia... Pure trash.

Your team is a fraud and will be underdogs next week as a 3-1 team at home coming off a bye vs philly enjoy your first time in first place in years, bc it will be gone in about a week

Oakland allowed more rushing yards in 2008-10 than any other team in the NFL, so its opponents could pound the ball on the ground to their hearts' content and not have to worry about throwing at Asomugha.

also, the Raiders were a combined 24-56 over the last 5 seasons, so not a lot of teams had to throw the ball much against them.

So sick and tired of the "dream team" thing, One guy said and hes a head case backup QB so stop that crap. Eagles have a great secondary that plays zone, stupid. Their linebackers are crap, their safeties are crap. They play this wide 9 D or whatever you call it and they leave huge gaps in the D line, which helps the running game of the opposing team. So we are playing a D that creates gaps for RBs and our LBs suck, no wonder why we cant stop frank gore whos line blows. It blows my mind every year with the birds boom or bust Offense who when they let mccoy roll with the rock he comes up huge and then they give him 9 carries the next game. Game plan or whatever they need to give the rock to mccoy more then 9 times. And for those "outsiders" stop the BS about booing santa and throwing batteries blah blah blah, that was in the days of the vet nothing like that. At least we don't put other fans in comas and that BS.

[Scorpion]

I agree
Michael Vick = Lebron James

All of the star players on the Eagles have SHIT for brains... Not much leadership or intelligence on that team at all.

Brown trying to throw the ball forward, Maclin carrying the ball lose to the body when he is in field goal range at the end... Desean Jackson is a moron, case closed, Vick is a QB playing RB...

This is the dumbest professional sports team ever assembled. Thanks for blowing a 20 point lead to an NFC West team!
