Philly under. I'd be interested in under 8.5 line even.

Philly could be the biggest dissapointment IMO in the league. Too much hype

I think anything less than at least an appearance in the conference championship is going to disappoint Iggles fans this year. I still think their front seven is a bit thin on paper.

Under looks good on Redskins, Seahawks and Dolphins. Breaks my heart to say under for Skins but they simply don't have the talent.

Linebackers are young and inexperienced, so its a gamble. The D-line has had extreme upgrades and will be solid.. especially with Washburn running the D-line.

the hype is all media driven. Its not like they are the Heat declaring themselves champions for the next 5 years. Unless you are focusing on a tweet from the twit Vince Young, someone who at this point is our 3rd string QB.

the hype was built by ESPN. you certainly can't fault the Eagles for picking up some extremely good free agents/trades.

Agree 100%. Eagles are trying to down play the hype. They definitely improved on paper, but that means nothing. You never want to be the team everybody is talking about in Preseason they never seem to meet expectations.

I think its all up to Mike Vick... if he improves off his quality year last year, they will be tough. If he gets injured or reverts back to Atlanta Vick, it will be a tough year. (of course this is true for all the teams)

They have gone all in, so you could say Superbowl or bust... which would make your opinion of a dissapointing season a probability.

If you mean dissappointing as in not making the playoffs, I would strongly disagree.

I agree Kolb is a massive improvement over the goofy Derek Anderson/Max Hall/John Skelton trio from last year, but three wins is a lot to stick on one guy. Are the Cardinals right now better than either the Rams or the Seahawks? I'd say the answer is no.

Edited to add that I completely forgot the 49ers, who are also probably a better team than the Cardinals right now. Though the Cardinals do get to play the Vikings, Panthers, Bengals, and Browns this year (all of whom should be wholly atrocious), so perhaps eight wins isn't impossible.

Looks like Coach and I were right about those Eagles. I didn't anticipate them being this bad though...

yeah the coaching sucks. and the attitude of the team sucks. it sucks for me, because the few times they've played together and well, they destroyed the competition (dallas, new york). But they are so inconsistant and apathetic.

That might be a slight exaggeration
