At least i have something.  Show me one thing that supports you argument?  We have had some bad tape, we have been good but far from perfect.  The last 2 teams we played were missing alot of their best players, you dont think they know about that?  To be honest me nor you have zero clue about how they feel about us and this game.  I think that they feel they are going to go out there and whoop us.  They just destroyed the team we beat week 1 and they know that, they are TD favorites and they know that, they are the number 1 team in the league and we have been the worst team in the league the last 2 seasons and they see everyone saying they will win.  Perfect trap game hopefully we can just take advantage of it.

You’re projecting your feelings onto them.  You don’t truly believe in what you’ve seen from this team and that’s fine.  We’ve taken a beating as a fan base for a long time.  It’s understandable.

But the tape is good.  Sure, you can find instances, but the tape is overwhelmingly good. However much time you’ve spent going back and re-watching, the Eagles players and coaches have watched hours more than you or I have and they’re seeing that.  This team has whooped, not just beaten, it’s last two opponents and it has nothing to do with lucky bounces.  Trap games require a clearly inferior team getting up for a superior team who overlooks them.  That’s not at all what’s happening here.
