THE Dallas Cowboys have given me reason to be optimistic about the Eagles 2015 season. Not be because I expect the Cowboys to be bad, but because they make it safe to assume that the Eagles will be good. Again, let me say that I am in no way bad mouthing the Cowboys, just being optimistic about the Eagles, and getting behind guys like Sam Bradford, Ryan Mathews, Kiko Alonso, Walter Thurmond, and rookie Jordan Hicks.
Earlier this offseason when it seemed you needed a season ending injury on your resume to make the Eagles roster, I was worried. Injuries have a way of being cumulative. Overcompensation during rehab for X injury often leads to Y injury. Notice how some guys always seem hurt and some guys never do? Over time injuries mount and they sap a player’s effectiveness.
Enter the Dallas Cowboys. QB Tony Romo’s back is a ticking time bomb. RB Darren McFadden has almost as many missed starts (49) as actual starts (63), due to injury. The guy I thought would be McFadden’s back-up (Joesph Randle) seems to have gotten an unspoken demotion in favor of former Cardinal Ryan Williams. Williams has a torn patellar tendon in his past. (Here is his career.)
What gives me so much hope for my team is despite the ICU that is the Dallas backfield, the national media just can’t stop dick-eating the Cowboys. I guess that means that we’re playing 2015 with injuries turned off, in which case we have a pretty good team. I mean most of my worry about the Eagles centered around who we could and couldn’t keep on the field; but if the Cowboys are injury-proof then why aren’t we? Shit, we’re the ones with the smoothies, right?
Of course reality could set in, and both teams could end up with a lot of fucked up key athletes. (Which would probably be what we both deserve.) But hey, if it ain’t broke (at the moment) then I have plenty of reason to be optimistic. Right?

So I wonder when this season is over if there’s a possibility that Nick Foles leaves the Rams and becomes the future quarterback of the team he probably rooted for when he was a kid in the Cryboys?

I wrote 2 articles last year about that very thing one of which I have archived, the other of which is here (https://eaglemaniacal.com/2014/12/03/december-trade-nick-foles/ )

Some fans have already added Sam Bradford into Chip Kelly’s scapegoat if things don’t work out this season. Well I fail to see how a hand selected player by the HC can become his scapegoat if he fails. Nobody forced Chip to trade for this guy and frankly if Foles out plays Bradford Chip will look like a fool.

Very true. If this blows up Chip and Chip alone has to wear the failure. That’s what it means to be the grand poobah.
