And it starts….
Thought you’d all like to know this “fact”. He said so on the SiriusXM Blitz show earlier this afternoon. It’s mighty kind of him to ignore results, isn’t it? Specifically the two below:
The division is stacked. You could make a legitimate argument for the Cowboys, Giants or Eagles having the most talent in the NFCE.
That doesn't inherently lead to wins.
I don't know the extent of Schein's quote--if he said "the Eagles are the most talented" or "the Eagles are the most talented and therefore the best"--and the difference is crucial.
If he's just talking about the level of talent and he thinks that Philly has the most...ok, whatever. Not an unreasonable thought.
and not even make the playoffs last year (and this was before the season started). Its helpful to know in advance to listening to anything he says that Adam Schein is a complete idiot.
Let them predict another Eagle Superbowl. That always works out well. I actually welcome their success. A strong NFC East provides the best entertainment from a Giant fan's perspective.
Frankly, I'm actually a little more concerned about Dallas. They took great strides to address that shitty secondary. I expect them to be the Giants primary contender this year.
Is the we're officially in a new NFL season, and the hype machine is churning back to life.
The Eagles are not the most talented team in the Division by any measure. Giants have them beat in that department, soundly. As does Dallas. Eagles have the most team speed, for sure, but not the most talent.
took a miracle comeback against Dallas for the Giants to avoid going 8-8 and finishing third in the division. Not sure how being that close to nailing a prediction makes someone an idiot.
Some people are going to pick against this year, especially considering we only went 9-7 in the regular season last year.
An on paper, talent-edge over the Giants or Dallas.
Speed, sure, Eagles have it.
QB I'll take Eli or Romo over Vick.
WR, I'll happily take the Giants or Cowboys group over Philly's.
There isn't a great Oline in the bunch, so I'd call that a wash. Defensive Line the Giants. Eagles over Cowboys, I guess. Linebackers major edge to Dallas, followed by the Giants then the Eagles.
Secondary I'd take New York #1. Dallas should be much improved this year, and Philly wasn't exactly all world last year.
I think LeSean McCoy is the best running back in the division. That's the one spot where Philly really has the clear talent edge.
And what exactly are his qualifications to discuss sports on any level (other than being picked last in any/every neighborhood pick up game that he ever was asked to participate in)?
to pick another team, on paper, to come out of the NFC East. When you consider that the Giants had 11 guys on IR (not counting guys who were injured and then cut), they played bulks of the season without guys like Tuck, Nicks, Bradshaw, Osi, and the entire offensive line at full health, and that they've virtually lost no key players to FA - how can any reasonably intelligent person pick another team unless he thinks that Demeco Ryans is the second coming of Lawrence Taylor.
I am granting permission for someone to start my idea Â
there should be a website that tracks these so called "Experts" opinions. Similar to the firejoemorga.com website. The reason these guys say so many things so definitively is that there is no accountability. You could bet they would be a lot more measured if they were called on their absurd predictions.
predicted the Giants not to finish last in the division after they lost smith and boss. this shit happens EVERY year. Eagles and Cowboys vying for the division title every summer.
The Giants have won 2 Superbowls in the last 5 years.
Cowboys havent done shit in 15 years. Eagles, please.
like this from members of the media - a lot of them are going to pick a third place finish and no playoffs for the Giants in '12 - with a little "don't be surprised if the Skins are vastly improved with RG3" sprinkled in for good measure.
Would anyone on BBI be surprised if the Eagles won the division Â
and the Giants won the Super Bowl? I do not expect that but it certainly would not surprise me after last season, the Giants are built to win playoff games and the Eagles are the Eagles.
than any player on the Eagles. Eli is, too. Then we're comparable or better everywhere else accept in the return game, though that may have been fixed this offseason.
the difference is in the Head coaches and their staffs. Reid has had many talented teams and can't seem to win the big one. Making his offensive line coach, the new DC was brilliant!!
JPP, Tuck, Osi, Kiwi, Webster, Rolle, Bradshaw, Nicks, Cruz and Manning are not talent.
Trent Cole who can't play the run is talent. Nhamdi who coudln't cover Cruz is talent. Vick who has more jail time then Eli does passing yards is talent
Outside of Running Back and Tightend, which unit on the Eagles is more talented? On defense their linebackers were worse than ours last year and they upgraded the position by getting a linebacker who had less tackles last year than Kiwi. (Yeah, I know stats don't tell the whole story but it does point to a likely smaller impact than people think.) Then the Safety position is still a big unknown for the Eagles, plus you can't call their Cornerbacks an upgrade over the Giants when you compare all the players other than Webster and Nnamdi. And unless the two draftees have immediate DROY impact, the Eagles defensive line isn't better than the Giants.
The Eagles offensive line (which didn't really perform well last year) took a hit when Peters got injured and their wide receivers may have great name value but they certainly haven't outplayed the Giant receivers. (Now Jason Avant is a very good 3rd WR and he represents the Eagles only advantage in this unit.)
Finally, the punt return game and FG kicking are the only part of the special teams the eagles have an edge. The Giants had a better KO return average and a better punting Net. Their FG kicker had a better season with more attempts than Tynes.

I hate Schein like poison.

If you do, you can make the argument that they are as talented on paper as the Giants.
But if you don't believe in Michael Vick, then how can you make this argument?
It's a QB league. And Eli Manning is a top three QB.
Agree the Cows & Eagles have a bunch of talent but Eli is the difference.
The Giants have won 2 Superbowls in the last 5 years.
Cowboys havent done shit in 15 years. Eagles, please.
are premo's and have bad coaches..when will media get it?
Trent Cole who can't play the run is talent. Nhamdi who coudln't cover Cruz is talent. Vick who has more jail time then Eli does passing yards is talent
