Great decision, Chip. Kendricks/Kiko will be a dynamic ILB duo for the next 3-4 years. Barwin and Graham on the outside, Bennie/Cox/Thornton up front... Curry off the bench... Scary front 7.
Eagles are now tied with the Broncos for the fifth best odds to win the Super Bowl (15/1). The Packers, Seahawks, Colts, and Patriots are the top four.

For such a good athlete, Bradford looks like **** in a football uniform.
It's the giant shoulder pads and ridiculous sleeves haha.

How the hell is Marvin Lewis still with the Bengals? He's somehow entering his 13th season with them despite never winning a playoff game (0-6).
The Eagles haven't been the greatest of franchises in the league the last 40 years & even that **** wouldn't fly here.
I just realized its totally the sleeves. I mean yea his shoulder pads are huge too but theres nothing wrong with that if hes comfortable throwing in them but theres like nobody in the NFL that wears their sleeves like that
Could you imagine Reed being here as long as he was and never winning a playoff game?
Peyton, I think.
Who also happenens to look like a huge dork.

I'm pretty sure they are serious too.
And the Eagles have the second best offense in NFL History, according to their standards.
EDIT: After reading further, they're saying preseason doesn't mean crap.
So is it a spoof?
So there you have it. Same thing hold true for total yards allowed. Of course, this is the preseason, so what does any of this mean?
It means that if you're going to complain about the offensive performance, you had better be bragging about the Cowboys' league-leading defense.
It means if you're going to talk about how the Eagles offense is going to dominate the league this year, you had better point out how we're seeing the rebirth of the Doomsday Defense in Dallas.
It also means that if you're going to talk about the dominant Cowboys pass defense, you'll need to talk about how the Cowboys rank 31st in the league with a -5 turnover differential after just two games. And you'll also have to point out that the vaunted Cowboys offense is dead last in the league with just 6.5 points scored per game.
The point is, you can't just cherry-pick your stats to fit your narrative, especially not in the preseason.
Essentially, the preseason is a cracked and murky crystal ball from which everybody is trying to divine some meaning, even though making any type of predicions based on preseason results is largely a hit-and-miss affair. Depending on your persuasion, you might worry about the fact that the Cowboys are 0-2 so far this season, you might be excited by the potential of the defensive line, you might be indifferent to the umpteenth retelling of the concerns surrounding the running back depth chart, you might show some concern for the listless performance of special teams, pray for the continued health of every single Dallas Cowboys defender, and fervently hope that the stats at the top of this post aren't just some stat nerd messing with you.
Regardless of where each of us stands, we're probably reading too much into the preseason. We all know that preseason performance isn't any indicator of regular season performance. The 2008 Lions are the best example of that, going 4-0 in the preseason and ending up 0-16 in the regular season. Last year, the Cowboys famously went 0-4 in the preseason and ended up tied for the best record in the league with 12-4.
Personally I feel how Bradford looks in his uniform is very far down on the list of importance.
