I want to care, butt I dont
Things I'd like to see from the Giants

-Eli brings down his turnovers. For all the blame we can lay on other reasons, Eli still played like poo poo last year and the excuses only go so far. He's always been a pick machine so to hope for under 12 or so is unrealistic, but between 12-16 would be his average and we can win with that average. Also, hope that he is and stays healthy.
-Just a general overall more efficient offense. It felt like Eli was always going 10+ yards or more, either by design or because we refused to pick up chunk yardage and were stuck in 3rd and longs constantly. I'd like a more streamlined system, I'd like to see more high percentage plays, just a bit more dink n dunk.
-O line get's it's poo poo together. Beatty had a great 2012 then fell apart last year. We need 2012 beatty.
-JPP comes back healthy and returns to form
-DaMonster picks up where Tuck left off
-Make Philly & Dallas fans sad at least once each.

Things I'd like to see around the league

-Dalton steps up his game and becomes a franchise QB. (I just have a weird love for him) AJ McCarron gets caught in a drug scandal and never plays football again
-Mike Sam at least makes it into a depth/backup role
-JFF able to pull off his crazy poo poo at an NFL level
-The goddamn Patriots miss the playoffs or be at least a wildcard for once. Same with the Packers. Go Lions/Bears/Vikings
-Rivers doesn't get a ring
-schaub does
-Cowboys go 8-8, after starting 8-0 before Romo goes down and Weeden comes in to tank them
-The Cards win the NFC west and the Rams are a wildcard - gently caress
-More hilarious Aldon Smith tomfoolery. More Sherman bullshit. More Walrus.
-Hernandez gets put away for life without parole

I agree with Febreeze. I would only add two things to that list:
1) No shotgun draws. I don't care if its the best shotgun draw situation ever. NO SHOTGUN DRAWS.
2) the Philadelphia eagles continue to not win the superbowl

I'd like to see the following things from the Eagles this year, the completion of all of them would make me extremely happy:

Foles establishes beyond a shadow of doubt that he's our franchise QB: I'm honestly terrified that he's going to regress hard and our team will be back at horrible, depressing square one. I expect him to regress some, but I'd like him to prove he can play at a high level for a full season. It'd make me so very, very happy.

Darren Sproles keeps doing typical Sproles things: This is pretty much going to absolutely happen, but for years he's been my favorite player in the NFL (over Shady, believe it or not), and now he's on my team. I just want him to light people the gently caress up. I'm so so so excited about this.

One of our rookie WRs establishes themselves as a reliable WR for the future: I don't actually care if Huff or Matthews are terrible, I just want one of them to play well so Foles isn't screwed and we continue to be a multifaceted offense.

We get further in the playoffs: This is going to be the tricky one because it honestly requires the other 3, but it'd be awesome if we could at least make it to the NFCCG.

I pretty much agree with Febreeze as well, but I'll add that I'd like to see Adrien Robinson do some damage this year. We've been told he's a freak athletically speaking, I'd like to see him actually produce something in football terms.

And yes, make Eagles and Cowboys fans sad.

Oh yeah, great point. There's nobody else at TE so it would be great to see him take the opportunity to make a name for himself.

Cutler keeps playing like he's Jake Cutler.

Stafford keeps playing like he's Matt Stafford.

Bridgewater gets Gabberted into a mindset that constantly see's pressure even when it isn't there.

Rodgers stays healthy.

49ers play better than they have each of the last 2 years and meet the Packers in the playoffs. Regardless of the result, the buildup and the game will be fantastic to watch.

- Jarvis Jones comes alive in his second year.

- Bell/Ben/Brown stay healthy.

- Munchak coaches the O-Line to be a strength, keep Ben upright and let Dri Archer execute some fun plays.

Things I would like the Eagles to do


1. A Playoff Win

Philly's last playoff win came all the way back in 2008 when we were 8-7-1 and somehow made the NFC Championship Game and lost to the Cardinals because Larry Fitzgerald is really good. Since then we've made the playoffs a bunch but haven't won a game. It'd be nice to actually go somewhere for once.

1.a. A First-Round Bye

The Eagles haven't had a bye in the playoffs since they went to the Super Bowl back in 2004. That was 10 years ago. The bye is awesome and it's great feeling really confident about your team. So I'd like that. Plus, a bye implies you won your division. And winning the NFC East is important.

1.b. Make the Super Bowl

If we actually manage to win a playoff game then making the Super Bowl would be even better.

1.c. Win the Super Bowl

It could happen...maybe :smith:

2. Nick Foles Continues to Dominate

A lot of people are really skeptical about Foles going forward. His INT rate was extremely low and a lot of his numbers, while very good, seem to imply regression. If he manages to play 2014 like he did 2013 he might actually start to be considered an elite QB.

3. LeSean McCoy Stays Healthy

With Bryce Brown gone, Shady is more important than ever to the Eagles offense. True, we now have Sproles but I'm going to be really worried if McCoy misses any time.

4. Howie Roseman's Insane "Cut Our Best Receiver" Plan Works Out

I still cannot understand why we cut DJax. If the Eagles go on to match our passing production from last year and/or Jackson is terrible in Washington that will vindicate Howie's decision.

5. Our Defensive Secondary is Not-Terrible

Last season receivers could do basically whatever they wanted to our secondary. We got carved up by Kyle loving Orton. I'd like to see that stop. I'm not asking for good, just not a complete disaster.

6. Alex Henery Figures Out Kicking

Henery had a pretty goo start to his career and then turned into a pumpkin last year. His FG miss was the difference in the final score of the Saints/Eagles playoff game last year. I'd like him to turn it around since there aren't any good FA kicker options. The Akers era was awesome because you knew he was generally going to make the field goal. The Henery era has made field goals way more nerve-wracking than they need to be.
