Fog Bowl what if
Yikes. Patriots 2? Saints 3? I mean if being fairweather counts as a "passion" then sure.
Surprising not to see Seattle near the top. And this doesn't bode well for us, as far as possible impact due to playing games in an empty Linc.
What's the breakdown of that 126 on Oline vs Dline? It might not all be attributed to just noise.
and KC (with Seattle) seeing as how those are two of the top home field advantage teams in the league for many years now and that includes pre-Mahomes and pre-Andy.
I have zero interest bringing this clown back. I had Zero problem bringing Jackson back. Besides the obvious he was my favorite Eagle during the time period he was here the first time he fit a need and had also matured a lot. Shady really hasn't grown up, has had a few off the field incidents since leaving, from what I heard did not take losing his job in Buffalo and a very good professional matter (Thats all I was told no details), and honestly I think he's damaged goods. Hindsight 20/20 Chip had the right idea trading him when he still had great value. The issue was what was given back was not great in value. Andy Reid had him as a healthy scratch numerous games last year including the SB. What does that tell ya? He's not really a need at this point either and if we are signing a Veteran back I'd rather get Hyde or a big bruiser.
Saints fans are becoming some of the most whiniest crybabies ever. They remind me of the met trolls I use to see on The Phillies message board who afrer losing to us pulled out every excuse in the book for the loss, Saints fans have become so obnoxious for a franchise that has one title. The franchise as a whole has been on of the biggest laughing stocks since entering the league. Plus I think we were gonna destroy anyone in that NFCC title game. Also had Foles played better in the playoff game vs NO we beat them 2 yrs ago especially if Jeffrey doesn't drop that pass. Saints fans really do take after their Coach. Then again the dude was a cowgirls player and coach so he's use to being a sore loser at this point.
They also forget about his bad performance against the Bucs horrendous Secondary in a game we should've won that same season. It was one of the first games of the new year after the SB. TB secondary was worse then ours believe it or not. I remember having Jeffery and Foles going in fantasy as all the experts said start anyone on the Eagles offense from Foles and anyone who can catch a ball as they'll have a great day. Foles threw for over 300 yds but had 1 TD. Most of those yards came on like 3 or 4 big plays. This was the game Fitz lit us up and not even 11 secs in DeSean took one to the house. Foles was off on a few passes that game that should've been picked off.
There's also been rumors with them along with SEA for pumping in fake Crowd noise for yrs now. ATL got caught in 2016 but theres been talk of both SEA and NO doing this.
I'm shocked the Saints and Seahawks aren't in the first 1. The 2nd one is laughable to including the Patriots in the top 5. I have family from Boston and during the 90s no one would be caught dead wearing Patriots gear. It was only after NE became good again they all acted like they were with them 24/7/365 the whole time. GB deserves the #1 title and like it or not Steelers fans are passionate and just as much as we are. Saints fans not sure I'd call that much as passion as I would sheer ignorance
I know I commented on SEA not being there but my Co workers son who worked for the Chiefs has coached in both Arrowhead and Century Link and swears on his brother's grave that SEA noise of crowd is severely overrated. My cousin who lives in SEA who has season tickets to the games (More of a work thing still a huge Eagles fan) has even said the noise level at Century is overrated. T I've heard this from several people including players though but still I'm shocked they didn't make it. There's been a few rumors over the years of SEA pumping crowd noise and the World Record Decibel they set may have had crowd noised pumped in as well. Again just rumors nothing concrete
After having to do this 4 or 5 times each season the last 10 years, we finally get a break this season with 0 opponents coming off bye (and also no Thursday road game.) That's, of course, assuming the schedule gets played as designed and isn't altered by COVID...
- Posted before I read your 'my read'. So sounds like Dillard is the starter even if we sign Peters? That would go against the consensus in here.
I believe the Eagles and a few other teams proposed a new rule of having Dal and DET alternate playing thanksgiving every other year as a home team.
Apparently Cataldi laid into McNabb pretty good. All I'll say is this on the issue. Cataldi is an idiot who embarrassed our city with the dirty 30. Shaun Young the SUperfan admitted it was one of the stupidest things he was part of and when Angelo tried to get it back together when McNabb comeback and said no. Cataldi is an idiot in his hatred for McNabb and Andy Reid.
Today is "Wentz vs. Foles" day. Basically, should we have stuck with Foles as the future at QB, after SB52. My take: Foles is now at his 6th stop in 9 seasons and didn't succeed 3 times when given the chance to be a team's "franchise QB." He's a great back-up, maybe the best ever, but switching tracks to the Foles train would have been a disaster. We've got a better long-term chance for success with Wentz.
The fact this is still a debate is embarrassing. Love Foles and what he did for us, and think he's had some bad luck in his chances at being the full-time starter, but it's painfully obvious Wentz is the correct choice.
Its just an indictment on our culture nowadays. After watching 15 years of "Sports Talk" become basically like Crossfire and everyone just arguing to be right on some silly topic of "pick a side"
Contrary to belief, I love Foles. Can't think of a guy who deserves better in the league and in life.
Yeah, but it got shot down. One of the Eagles' other proposals, though, seems to be gathering some momentum: Instead of an onside kick attempt, teams can choose to try and convert 4th and 15 from their own 25 yard line. Max of 2 times, per game.DJackson10 said:
We're better long term with Wentz. We also invested heavily in him before Foles even came back. People love to talk about Wentz can't complete a season (he has 2) and guess how many 16 game seasons fully Foles has played? ZERO. Foles is a nice QB. I'm glad my prediction I made on my Facebook status when we drafted him he'd win us a SB came true (just didn't happen how I imagined), but Foles would've been a disaster had we kept him and traded Wentz. With out dumb Philly luck Foles ends up sucking big time and Wentz becomes as good as Mahomes in a dangerous offense. The Foles lovers seem more of the whole anti Wentz then really pro Foles. People who wanted us to take Zeke over Wentz, didn't like us trading up to 2 for a QB, or people who listen to too much Sports talk radio and regurgitate everything they say like those who watch CNN or Fox and just repeat all the buzzwords and lines. Foles is like you said on his 6th team in 9 seasons. We made the right decision even if it doesn't look that way at this point.
Kinda feel like it might be Shady. Hyde signed with Seattle and Freeman wants to sit out if he doesn't get a good contract.
I think 2019 was 'legit', but he's always going to be behind Miles for a few years. I think it all depends if/who we sign as another RB, which hopefully for you (depending on when you need to make your decision by) will be soon. I think he's a lock to make the roster no matter what, and if we sign another RB than his upside certainly would be limited.
I’ll always love him but overall Foles is an average at best QB who got hot at the right time in the right offense.
I loved Peyton Trolling Brady yesterday though. For people not use to Peyton this Peyton manning might come as a surprise. I've been following him since college and one of my favorite Country Singers Kenny Chesney is a big Vol's fan and close friends with Peyton. My Former Gym Teacher and our HS Football coach also played down there and has shared some stories meeting Peyton. What you saw yesterday is Peyton Manning normally. Very talkative and a jokester.
Manning said he was going to bring Foles or Eli to caddie for him, to get Tom shook. Think that's the tie back to Foles.
Nice. Glad we have a space in his head.brady apparently hates the eagles more than any other team
You were talking about Foles run with the team. Peyton took a shot at Tom saying he should get Foles as his caddy. And Tom responded that's a cheap shot and he hates the Eagles more then any other team. My comment In Lew of what you said to show I think everyone in the league feels the same way we both do about Foles and loves to tease Brady about it
Bit of a stretch there going off on Peyton's college career when discussing foles vs wentz' talent
Where are you seeing this? Can't find this anywhere.brady apparently hates the eagles more than any other team
Link?
