If we win Sunday it's only a 1.5 game lead.Maybe. They have a 2.5 game lead and outside of Arizona they’re schedule is just as easy as ours.

Also - man am I glad to have Devonta on the team. I still get stuck every once in a while thinking its 1999 and "small WRs can't make it" but in this era, this guy is going to be a stud. Love his work ethic and leadership style.
I don't think we've looked better then we are. We look like good teams (Dallas, TB, etc..) beat us. We beat bad teams easily. Average teams we are competitive against and win/lose depending. Puts our record right where I think we are right now, about average. Which - coming off a 4 win season where we were BAD, I am happy about. Especially since the first few game we were getting our footing still. Now - how we react when a team shuts down our rush attack? We'll probably still lose. But hopefully we can get better there.Some of that goes to the layers and coaches but I think our schedule recently has helped us out a lot too and making us look a lot better than we are. I'd rather miss the playoffs then be one and don and probably get curbed stomped by whoever we play. Plus I think the team would become complacent and not fix issues thinking "hey we made the playoffs lets just put a band aid like the SB", where as missing the playoffs forces the org to make moves necessary needed to fix the holes.

Bump Goedert.I went to The Prep's Semi Final game vs Bethlehem's Freedom Patriots as it was at Cardinal O'Hara HS a literal 5 min drive from my house. The Ax Man Jermiah Trotter was there as his son is still playing '23 Grad. Got to talk to JT for a bit too. DeAndre Swift was suppose to apparently be there but after his injury during the thanksgiving game he couldn't travel and had to stay in Det. Marvin Harrison SR was also at the game. Really good game and The Prep has a really good looking RB. Samaj Jones had a nice 30 yard big boy run to the EZ at RB to put the Prep up 10-7 before the Half. Josiah Trotter had a really good stop on a 3rd down in the 3rd QTR. I was standing next to his Dad when that play happened and I told him that play reminded me of him stuffing a Dallas RB in the backfield which got a good laugh out of him.
One of the most interesting kids is 22' South Carolina Commitment Keenan Nelson JR '22 Grad. He's gonna be a problem in the SEC once he's up to speed. Hard to predict if any of these kids got a NFL career but given what I saw from the kid won't be surprised if he succeeds in the SEC at the very least. Jones had a huge 70 Plus run in the 4th for a TD too that got a good reaction from the mostly Pro Prep Crowd as well. The Score was 17-14 with less then 4 left. Prep scored another TD before Freedom scored with 22.5 secs left to make it 24-21. Prep moved on to the QTRs.
It was really fun to get out and watch a HS game again. I hadn't seen my cousin in a football setting in yrs so it was fun to have a chance t watch him. Was a cool experience to see some legends of the NFL there too and the funny thing is most of the people with Trotter JR and Marvin Harrison there acted like it was just a common site at this point. I guess for them it is. My Old High School's Football coach was also at the game and so were some of my HS friends Really fun night also a more interesting HS atmosphere then I normally had experience. There were murmurs Jason Kelce was at the game but I never saw him. Even though he lives 10 mins from where the game was I had my doubts on the rumor given we play in NY this weekend. Home game I wouldn't have been surprised if he was here as he's shown up to a few HS games in the area unannounced over the years. The dude just loves football
Bump Goedert.
It's embarrassing an adult posts 3 paragraphs in an Eagles message board that has zero relevance to the Eagles.It's pretty embarrassing an adult has to act like such a child on a god dam fantasy football message board.
His last one doesn't even mention the Eagles and one he just talked about wrestlersI dont ever have a problem with djax sometimes long posts. You don't have to read them. I find it sad some have to talk down or make fun of them. Get the #### over yourselves.
probably closer to 70 pages....which would still make it the longest team thread in the SP I thinkHow many pages would this thread be if it had no posts from DJax and no talk about DJax?

Yeah, I feel like the Saints game has breathed a lot of undeserved bravado in to the folks I’ve talked to. A lot of 11-6 predictions floating around out there. That being said, I really don’t see a clear loser game coming up. In reality my expectation is that we probably do win most of our games going forward and the week 18 game against Dallas ends up being meaningful; they play their starters and we get curb stomped right out of the post season.I can't help but get that old Philly feeling rise up again that we've let our hopes get up and we're about to have them crushed in the worst possible way.

i read this last night and lol'ed but had that gut shot feeling. i hate that you nailed it!I can't help but get that old Philly feeling rise up again that we've let our hopes get up and we're about to have them crushed in the worst possible way.
I hate to say this, but am I crazy to think the final game of the season could decide the division? Currently two games back, the ease of the remaining schedule. Between now and then they just need to win one more game than Dallas does and at least have the same division record as them (Eagles would win the next tie breaker of common games).
That can't really happen, right?
Imagine if we took Jefferson :(Cut, trade or make Reagor inactive. There isn’t a single reason to play him after that drive.
HOW MANY PASSES ARE RIGHT ON HIM?!
JJAW could have caught that last one.Imagine if we took Jefferson :(
Why use him when Boston Scott can fumble away the game with 2 minutes left?Insein said:Seriously WHAT IS THE ####### POINT OF HAVING MILES SANDERS!!!??! He's a young cheap RB for 2 more years and they do everything they can not to use him.
He thrives high pointing balls like that in the end zone.Pigskin Fanatic said:JJAW could have caught that last one.
Pretty sure Sanders was hurt and Scott played well either way.Insein said:This coaching staff takes this loss on the chin. No Howard and they decided to go back to the week 2-7 playbook. How the #### does Sanders have 9 carries? Scott gets 15 carries for the same amount and fumbles anyway. Un ####### real.
Hurts did look awful and so did the WR’s but only on that last drive and it was the same WR.Man. I think this team may have the worst WR corps in the NFL and it's probably not close. I watched the second half thinking Hurts must look awful and I just saw drops left and right. That one hitting Reagor in the face was, yes, probably a PI but also very catchable even with the contact.

DeVonta Smith livid as he came off the field. Threw his helmet to the bench. Wanted the ball. Was open. Never saw a target on the #Eagles' final two drives.

i love that he was pissed. he should be.
To be fair, why would you target your first round top prospect franchise WR? Much better to throw to Greg Ward in the endzone and chuck it to the guy that can't catch.
yeah, i mean you can't get passes better than those hitting Raegor right in the hand. the last drive was a good drive by Hurts, really can't get on him about thatMan.

Seriously someone that drafted these clowns needs to be fired, any of us could have drafted off Madden/NCAA 2021 ratings and landed Jefferson and other better players across the board.
Pretty sure Sanders was hurt and Scott played well either way.
This game was all on Hurts until that last drive.
If there’s any silver lining, he (Hurts) seems to really play well when things are on the line. 2 absolutely perfect passes that need to be caught. The Ward one as well.
