The trainers must be bored with the guys they gave. Julio looked done

i am sure there may be more to it then on field production. i have no idea who this guy is but i have heard something about this before:
Josh Tolentino
@JCTSports
DeVonta Smith always has referenced Julio Jones as one of the wide receivers he enjoys studying. A.J. Brown, a former teammate, boasts a strong relationship with Julio. Quite the addition to the Eagles’ WR room.

forgot that he and brown played together at tennessee, so there must be some connection there.

I was literally coming to your thread to bring this up. That is a tough stretch.
How many wins would you guys be happy with? How will that impact the battle to win the East.

Honestly, I just want them to win the Division. I don't think they'll take the 1 seed. Cowboys still have to play Miami, Buffalo, Detroit, Commanders x2 and Philly x2. I think it's definitely do-able Philly takes the East. If they can go .500 over the next 8, I see them with 12 wins.
The 1 seed will probably be SF (if they stay healthy enough) They're a tier above the rest of the NFC, and have a much easier schedule. The Lions are getting better every week and are on the same tier as Philly and Dallas, and play in the cupcake NFC North. Having to go play in either SF or Detroit in the playoffs is a tall order. But there is still a lot of season left- who knows how it will shake out?

I'd be OK going .500 as well, but being real, there isn't a single team where I'm like "oh crap we aren't winning this game" A lot of these teams that were viewed as elite or so have shown a ton of flaws. A bunch of "very good" teams overall. Miami is probably going to be the toughest test IMO. My thoughts on the other teams right now:
Miami - IMO they are one of if not the best team in the league. They have such a good offense where teams can't traditionally play "their" style against them b/c you get down 7, 10, 14 real real quick with the speed they have. Mike McD is just a very creative and fun offensive mind. They are tough.
Bills - They have lost quite a few key defensive players either thru FA or injury. Their LBs look depleted and Josh Allen is the modern day Favre, sorta. He is usually stellar, but every once in a while he had a game like "Cool bro, awesome arm, but what were you thinking"
KC - They have 3 guys: Mahomes, Kelce and Chris Jones. Their O line doesn't look great and teams have shown what their offense is like when you limit Kelce - which is a tall order. They aren't close to as strong this year as they were last year. I would not be surprised to see them only get as far as the divisionals this year
Dallas - Similar to KC, they have like 3 guys - Parsons, Lamb and Dak, although their DT is playing really really well. They have a cohesive defense and its their identity. They seem to be going or trying to go back to the 2016 offense. If you look at Dak's numbers, he is down 3 years running in key stats like QB Rating, YPA, TD%, YPG. SImilar to Josh Allen sometimes he just makes weird decisions, and he doesn't have the same arm talent. They have blown out quite a few teams, but mainly due to their defense rather than them being some prolific offensive team. The offense seems boring and predictable and the Offensive line isn't doing them any favors.
Seattle - Pete C always coaches his guys well. They look legit and Geno is proving last year wasn't a fluke. This will be a VERY tough one and we always seem to lose IN Seattle. One of the tougher games left IMO. Not much else to say they play really good ball and have a diverse offense.
SF - definitely a loaded team. They have playmakers on both sides of the ball and will be a tough test. But its at home, so I feel better about it. And I think Purdy is a pretty good QB at this point, BUT, there is a blueprint to beating him and the Niners. If you cannot stop the run with your 4 man front, you probably don't have much of a chance to beat them. The Play action game is just too good. But if you can shut down the run w a 4 man front (which the Eagles are the best in the league at), and make Purdy beat you with his arm, you stand the best chance of winning. Bc he still, IMO, is getting away with a lot of stuff that is going to eventually catch up to him
Should be a competitive and stressful stretch lol. Will definitely know what type of team the Eagles are this year at the conclusion of it.
Then we finish the year Giants/Cardinals/Giants as a reward for going thru this gauntlet.
Same here. That stretch is brutal and I'm kinda hoping we pull off the Miami game, take care of business against Washington, and then over that KC/BUF/DAL/DAL/SF/SEA stretch I just wanna go 3-3.

I'm expecting after the Seattle game for the Eagles to be somewhere between 10-4 and 8-6. The games after Seattle are pretty winnable, so they *should* be able to win out - which worst case (given my expectations) would be 11-6. I'd be happy with that, not sure if it'll be enough to win the division or not. I suspect it wont be the #1 seed, which is fine.

This is a great post. It’s refreshing to see people explain their opinions.
The Noid
Avoid me!
Slay on his podcast: “I’ve had a great great week, I must say. I know y’all wanna know why I didn’t play. I had to take care of a situation. I wasn’t feeling 100. I gotta take care of the body. But I will be back very very soon. Maybe sooner than you think.”
Ummm, I think everyone is expecting him back this week. But this quote makes it seem like whatever he had to “take care of” is a multiple week thing.

Maybe an STI?
This would be totally crushing if we lost Smith. No clue how we go round for round with Miami if we're missing him.
After looking at all the top teams schedules, I think Detroit has too easy a path NOT to take the top seed, TBH. Both the Eagles and the Niners have the ability to win in Detroit though, so the 2 seed is still pretty important. To accomplish that I think Philly needs at least five of those games including the SF game and at least one of the Dallas games.

With how they have played overall this season, the massive amount of injuries, the rest of the schedule, and the quality of the other contenders, I think the 1 seed is pretty much not realistic and the 2 is a long-shot. At this point, our best chance at the SB is to pull off winning the division, getting injured guys back and healthy before the playoffs, and finally get everything together with their play and play-calling right as the playoffs start and ride that to some wins.

Total random aside, but I'd LOVE to have everything locked up before that last Giants game so we could rest literally everyone. Want no part of our starting group running around on THAT turf a week before the playoffs start.

Yeah I'll be honest, the Miami offense is scary, but their defense is definitely not. If we can play the game we need to play, running the ball and sustaining long drives (and scoring TD's instead of FG's in the RZ), I think we beat them at home. After that I see it going like this:
Washington-Win 7-1
Dallas-Win 8-1
KC-Loss 8-2
Buffalo-Loss 8-3
SF-Win 9-3
Dallas-Loss 9-4
Seattle-Loss 9-5
NYG-Win 10-5
Arizona-Win 11-5
NYG-Win 12-5
Is 12-5 enough to get the #1 seed? Just in quickly looking, I can see both Detroit and SF finishing 13-4, even with SF losing to us. Doubting that we can sweep Dallas, we have to hope we can flip one of the KC/Bills/Seattle games. Need to get healthy and get our **** together on offense to make any of the above possible. Feel cautiously optimistic but they really need to show me that they can figure out what this offense is.

The title of the thread reminded me of Emmitt Smith on the Cardinals.

Smith still had 1k his first year as a Cardinal. If Julio gets 300 this year I'd be surprised.

Having Slay back is a big help, too! I wish Roby hadn’t gotten hurt- the D looked a lot better with him back.
Excited and nervous about Sydney Brown getting on the field. I love watching him play, but I fear he costs us a couple big plays with how aggressive he is.

Dolphins are gonna get some big plays...it's inevitable, they run circles around everyone offensively. BUT...hit Tua a few times with pressure and maybe we get a big sack or two, a couple turnovers. And the Miami defense is not so good. Eagles are gonna put up 450+ yards and 30+ points. If they can get those couple turnovers they'll win.
Calling it Philly 34-24. I feel better about this one then I did the Jets game for some reason
ProstheticRGK
Footballguy
Agreed. I feel good about this game, too. I feel like they needed a wake-up call to get motivated and the Jets game was it.
MIA is for sure gonna score points, but I’m curious if the Eagles Offense wants to trade big play body blows and take advantage of a secondary without Ramsey and probably without X or if they try and get the run game going to keep MIA’s Offense off the field. The run game has been so lackluster since Jurgens went out- 3x the amount of negative plays/TFL over the same span of games.
I’m starting to come around on Desai. Even though you can’t stop MIA O, you can contain them. I see Philly goong back to winning on turnovers again this week- the Jets game was flukey and against a really good D.
Still holding my breath that Johnson can call a good game. Love to see Jalen bounce back with a monster game. He has to have a fire in his gut this week (did he take the bus?) after last week, and playing against Tua. No matter how much he denies it in PCs- he has to want to probe he’s better.

I think last week was what they needed to get their **** together. If they can get back to closer to 50/50 run pass and control the clock on offense (while scoring TDs, not FGs in the redzone) they can do what they do best and let the Dline pin their ears back and rough up Tua all night. If they try to go shot for shot and abandon the run I fear this game could get out of hand quickly. Miami's defense is not good-exploit that and keep Tua/Hill/Waddle Mostert off the field. I think they will. Two huge offenses on Sunday Night Primetime = perfect chance at a low scoring game.
Eagles win 24-21

Some interesting stuff I found out about Russ Wilson. Apparently he’s not well liked in the Den locker room. Like guys straight up hate him. Not considered a leader. Many of Sea’s best players left the team because they couldn’t stand the guy either. Lynch, Sherman, Tate, Maxwell, etc.
I knew something was off about this guy for yrs. Couldn’t put a finger to it till the last 4 yrs. He’s a fraud. Dude you see on camera is no where close to the guy off it. We dodged a toxic bullet here

I don't think we need to go 50-50. Get back to 60-40 and we should be good. Last week was like 80-20 for no reason.
