I was curious to see how eagles fans were viewing their 2021 season so I ventured over to the “eaglesmessagebord” and found a record prediction thread....I thought we had some homers but man they are downright delusional. Noteworthy quotes from them include “sneaky good offense” “top 5 offense” “easily top 10 offense” “best QB in the division”
A little over 1/2 of them say 8+ wins, about 1/4 say 10 to 12(LOL), and the rest in the 3-6 range. In regards to the matchups against us majority say 1-1, a few say they sweep us, and 1-2 say giants sweep them.
I’m sorry but if we don’t sweep the eagles this year, no shot we are a playoff team, divisional opponent or not.
With that said, my goal every year (if not a SB win) is an eagles sweep for a successful year even if that means 2-15
The eagles have a second year QB that has been(college)/is inaccurate (and now has tape to gameplan for) 0 proven WRs, an aging Oline that can’t stay healthy and a small RB that can’t handle the workload of 20+ carries a game. Add in an average defense at best, assuming they over achieve and you have a 4th place team in an overall weak division.
How do you think the Giants will do against the eagles this year ?

First things first, you need a tetanus shot. I rather take a dip in the Hudson River then to be on the Eagles boards.
The Eagles for years have owned us. We pay them rent, and utilities. We finally broke the schneid last year, with splitting the series. Now, will we be able to sweep them?
I’ll believe it when I see it, last time we swept them was in ‘07. Good news for us is the Eagles are coming off an offseason where they fired their head coach, traded their quarterback, and reshuffled their roster from top to bottom. They also hired stuttering John as their head coach. So, this might be the year we finally sweep those assholes and put them in our rear view mirror.

Between their QB and new HC, I don't have much confidence in Philly this year. I still see us going 1-1 with them, just because it's the Eagles, but I don't see them being too good.
I think it's a three horse race between the good guys, Dallas, and Washington.

Given our history 1-1 is my guess. However this is based on my belief that they will be the worst team in the division, I just don’t see what they have to be afraid of.

Can't believe it's been so long since the giants swept them. But I think this is the year. It's about damn time too!

I hate the Eagles.
I also think it's a 3 horse race with the Eagles bringing up the rear. 6-7 wins at the most. Probably more like a 5-12 record next year.
They could be a fast team on offense with Hurts at QB and Smith at WR. Don't know who else they have that would scare anyone. Still believe their TE Ertz gets himself out of Philly somehow.
They were trying to upgrade their CB position they went speed there as well. They better with Big Blue and Dallas in their division.
They get back strong next year with three 1st rd picks and other extra picks as well. And we all know next years draft is suppose to be strong and deep.
I hate this team.
I want to sweep them so bad. And we better if we want to compete. We owe them. I want to sweep them for the next 10 years. No mercy, no prisoneers, just body count.
Did I mention that I hate this team ?

We don't play them until Nov 28th. There will be so much that happens before them it's tough to predict. We are definitely the better team. I think our QB is better, our D is definitely better, WRs are better as a whole. They are also trying to instill an entire new system which generally takes some time. Now they could get used to that system and start rolling the second half but barring some kind of major injury I take us 2-0 over them.
Worth noting our first game is a short week due to Monday night on the road against the defending SB champs, so that could be a tough one to come back and get prepared for the Eagles (win or lose against the Bucs).

The Eagles are a bad team going into 2021. Badly built and the coach looks like a dud to me.
With that being said I think the most likely outcome is 1-1.
If you’ve been watching the NFC East for a while you know that how the teams are on paper and how they’re performing vs the rest of the league doesn’t matter. It can go either way.

Just hung out with an E-gals fan for three days over golf and talked about it a bunch. He was gloomy and negative.
But I've lived through this before, and
I don't believe it. When we beat them twice next year I'll believe it.

at this time of year with the state of both teams, how could I pick anything but 2 - 0? We won the off season superbowl, right?

In order to make the playoffs, 2-0 vs Philly is a must and actually 5-1 in the division will provide the best path to the playoffs.

The Giants were one drop from sweeping them last year. The Eagles are the least of our worries, we should be looking at sweeping the division and especially the Cowboys.

Doubt we sweep them 3 seasons in a row...it’s kinda sad I barely seen them as rivals anymore lmao |

Ryan Fitzpatrick loses as many games as he wins. right and I’m not really even worried about them, the only team in the East that will beat the giants this year is the giants. With a less talented roster one can argue we should’ve been 6-0 in the division last year. Refs hosed us in the Dallas game 1, engram hosed us in philly game 2, with a dash of refs as usual. Which is the another plague this team has suffered through over the last few years, the zebras. Bout damn time we get a lucky call for once |

It’s BS that we don’t play them until November. It should have been Game 1. Did them throwing the game ultimately help us? I’d say yes. However, we still owe them and the first meeting should have been a hell of a lot sooner than 12 games into the season.

There just going to bite the bullet and have plenty of cap room in 2022. Plus their 3 first rd picks next year with their own pick probably being a top 10 for sure. |

Does anyone know what the average % is and what the highest ever has been stacked alongside their W-L that year? Sorry for such a tall order on a rotten weather day. 12% or less is what the average playoff team has tied up. The statistical average of a bad team 6 wins or less is 17% or more. Philly has 38% in just dead money That 12% is not only dead but spending on special teams and unused money also. In other words money not spent on your offense or defense. I actually already did the stat on this. |
