Best LB core in the NFL

[bamainatlanta]

And Sunday we will see our first TD! ��

I'm all about seeing some huge TD's

 

[number51]

Jags, Rams, Eagles, Vikings and Bears are all in the mix for best front 7, imo.

What did all those teams have in common last year...With the exception of the Rams, all went deep into the playoffs last year. Hopefully this is the start of something GREAT!!

Another thing in common The Jags, Eagles, and Vikes did not have great QB's at playoff time. Foles eventually played well, but the Eagles were dogs in all there PO games, mainly because of Foles.

Those 3 teams had strong running games and defense, that will cover for average QB play.

On paper the Rams are the best team in the league. However:

"Back in 2011, the Philadelphia Eagles signed a slew of big named free agents, including Vince Young, who decided Philly needed a nickname -- so he came up with one: The Dream Team."

The 'dream team' finished 8-8 out of the playoffs. All that talent had no chemistry.

Surprising the Eaglets kept winning with Foles, coaches playing to his strengths.

That dream team was anointed SB champs by just about everyone before the season started. :nope:

Eagles defense is damn good. They single handedly won that game for them last night.

Eagles defense is damn good. They single handedly won that game for them last night.

Forgot the Eagles added the Bennett brother. Ridiculous. Cox is a machine too. Got me excited to see Mack play.

A lot of that was Matt Ryan tossing sandbags out there.

We were tied 7th in the league with 42 total sacks..It would not be a stretch to get to 50 and be in the top 3! Really excited to see this Defense this season!
