Sure was fun to watch an O with dynamic play calling.

I am rooting a bit for Bradford who went 10 fro 10. Mostly because it will hack off Ram fans. :)

Edit: No Rodgers, but GB looked like poop and Philly looked great. Maxwelll/Thumond make them better. Thurmond had a pick 6 and Maxwell had an int, but it was taken away by a penalty.

Everybody was scoffing at Chip Kelly a few months ago and the moves he was making. The Eagles are going to be damn good this year, and fun to watch. I believe Seattle, Green Bay and Philly are the 3 teams fighting for the SB from the NFC. In Phillys case that depends on Bradford staying healthy, which of course is a pretty big if.

Bradford was my favorite play at the time he was traded. The Ive always believed he was a great QB on a struggling team. I'm rooting for him hardcore. If it can't be STL, I hope it's PHI. He looked great last night.

Nice to see fans of an awesome team giving the Eagles some props. As you mentioned, the Eagles are going to be a very dangerous team IF Sam can stay healthy and that should probably be an IF in 500 bold point font right now.

The defense looks massively improved (the secondary really couldn't have gotten any worse than last year) and the run defense appears like it is bordering on elite levels. The LB and pass rush is yet to be seen as the starters haven't played either A) much at all or B) At all, period. It will be fun to see Mychal Kendricks & Kiko Alonso out there at the same time though.

That wouldn't surprise me. I can easily see Philly winning that division and Jerruh's kids falling back to mediocrity.
Dallas had a pattycake schedule last year and caught s few "lucky breaks", see the picked up penalty flag vs the lions which was an obvious PI penalty in the playoffs for exhibit A.

Eagles under Kelly have a history of looking amazing one week, then awful the next. A bit like the Holmgren Seahawks in that way.

It's the preseason. Green Bay wasn't playing a majority of their starters on defense.
As an Eagles fan I wont believe in this team until they show up against a good defense. We average 30 points per game last year on the backs of blowing out bad defenses. Seattle held us to 139 total yards, how much does Sam Bradford raise that total?
I've watched every game for both teams over the last decade, and that includes these preseason games... anyone who thinks Philly is anywhere close to Seattle's level is delusional.

Philly is in that Detroit, Arizona range. A little bit behind Dallas and Green Bay and a fair bit away from Seattle.
