Damn I'm not so sure about the Defense. Soooo many damn injuries, big losses. Our starting Free Safety is a Rookie 5th round pick.
It's too much fun "hatin."

Eagles Defense Dominant in Win Over Panthers
There were many questions surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles defense heading into Sunday's game against Carolina.
How would they handle the loss of FS Brian Dawkins (free agency), MLB Stewart Bradley (injury), and Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson (lost battle with melanoma cancer)? Would disgruntled CB Sheldon Brown play up to his abilities? Was the preseason any indication of how this defense would play during the regular season (avg. 30 points against)?
The answers came in a 38-10 rout of the Panthers in Charlotte.
The defense forced seven Panther turnovers, five from QB Jake Delhomme who was pulled early in the third quarter, and scored a touchdown on a Victor Abiamiri fumble recovery. Brown had two of the teams five interceptions, Joselio Hanson, Akeem Jordan and Asante Samuel had the others. Panthers quarterbacks were under pressure all afternoon as the defense had five sacks and allowed just 2.4 yards per completion.
They held the Panthers to 169 total yards and stopped RB DeAngelo Williams on the one with under a minute to go, clearly in a tribute to the late Johnson as the unit was exuberant coming off the field with many pointing to the sky or to the decal on their helmets honoring him.![]()
Defense picking up where they left off. For JJ.![]()
Vick joins the roster.
The Philadelphia Eagles elevated Michael Vick to the team's 53-man roster Tuesday, a move that allows the quarterback to practice with the team.
Wide receiver Hank Baskett was released to make room for Vick, who is eligible to play Sept. 27 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Vick will begin practicing with the team today, though he cannot play in Sunday's home opener against the New Orleans Saints. Vick was suspended for the first two regular-season games as the final league penalty for his role in running a dogfighting ring.

How's Westbrook? It seems Mcnabb and Westbrook compete each year to see who will get injured the most.
When asked if he thought he could play in Week 3 against Kansas City, Brian Westbrook(notes) (ankle) replied, "I hope so, yes." That's hardly definitive, but it's also not the worst possible quote. The injury Westbrook suffered is to the same ankle that required offseason surgery. LeSean McCoy(notes) is already owned by responsible Westbrook owners; he figures to have value next week in a fantastic matchup. Even if Westbrook plays, he shouldn't need to play every quarter against the 0-2 Chiefs.
We got the Chiefs this weekend. What are the odds?
Chiefs are going to win.
