NFC East roundtable: Can the Eagles repeat in the division? - ESPN
COMMANDERS REPORTER JOHN KEIM: Philadelphia. Yet another year predicting a repeat winner in a division that hasn’t had one since 2004. But how do you go against the Eagles at this point? Yes, maybe something goes wrong but entering the season it would be silly to bet against a team that dominated Kansas City to win the Super Bowl. The Eagles still have a dynamic offense and a top defense, despite losing two starters along the line. Yes, Washington and Dallas could mount serious challenges — it’s hard to duplicate what the Eagles did in a tough division. But the Commanders, who lost to the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game, must answer questions on defense — though they have the right quarterback in Jayden Daniels — while the Cowboys have a first-time head coach and their own questions. The Giants will be good defensively, but quarterback remains a major issue. So until further notice, it’s the Eagles. [...] COWBOYS REPORTER TODD ARCHER: We know the history and history tells us it won’t be the Eagles. The Giants have the most climbing to do. The Cowboys were 12-5 two seasons ago, and when Prescott has been fully healthy (or mostly), they have been playoff contenders. Then there’s the Commanders. Will there be some regression in Year 2 with Dan Quinn? Will there be more of a book on Daniels to slow down the quarterback? At some point history has to repeat itself, so I’m sticking with the Eagles, despite the departures of some players and coaches.
Lane Johnson on Nick Sirianni: “I think he’s evolved” - BGN
Eagles’ OT Lane Johnson caught up this week with a couple former teammates, LeSean McCoy and Emmanuel Acho, on their show, “The Facility,” and spoke about head coach Nick Sirianni. Johnson explained that one of the best things about Sirianni is that he’s a very good communicator, and how the head coach always addressed potential distractions, good or bad, as a team so nothing lingered — including the mid-season comments about the passing game last year.
A collection of hate mail from our dumpster fire series - PhillyVoice
Every year, we publish some of the angry reactions to the series. The whiniest of the bunch this year, by far, were Commanders fans. After getting back to the playoffs and actually making it to the NFC Championship Game, Commanders fans’ typing finger beer muscles are back, much like Giants fans had a brief offseason of confidence after their team won a playoff game in 2022. I didn’t hear a peep from Cowboys fans. Anyway, the following is a collection of the emails, DMs, and Twitter replies that I received, with spelling and grammar left unedited, but some of the bad words starred out. There are also some Commanders bloggers who wrote articles about their 10 reasons, lol....
