Bain’s free agency will be fascinating. I have been pining since week 3 for Howie to sign him but will be curious if he hits the open market. If I’m another team I would be a bit hesitant taking him out of the Fabiano defense and not with such a talented DL in front of him. I know Edwards did ok when he went to Chicago, and I’m sure Baun would be fine, but i think his best result would be staying in Philly.
I think the DeJean jerseys will sell more, I’d go Mitchell so people know you are an actual fan of the team and not just headlines. Both should be around for a long time but Mitchell will be the lowkey shutdown DB to wear around I think
From the way I have heard Howie talking about him, it just seems to be "how much" does he want want, I dunno, I'm guessing they have been having ongoing conversations all season long since maybe weeks 7/8 about a contract extension, and Baun hasn't been shy or quiet about how he knows how quickly your career/his career turned around by being in the right scheme. He is the guy I say is "NO CHANCE" gets away as a FA this offseason, personally. He is too valuable to the team + we have no idea when/if Dean is coming back next year early. Howie isn't the guy that doesn't learn his lesson on stuff like this after the TJ Edwards deal and not even trying to bring him back.
The sneaky name I keep hearing is the guy who calls plays for Penn State. I don’t remember his name but they say he is real
He had Steichen his first two years as a starter, did he not?To be fair, the fact that he has NEVER had the same OC for consecutive years in the college or pros has certainly capped his upside. This is particularly notable given that he isn't really a standard pocket passerwell, since I was very vocal about Hurts as well, he was better in the second half of this entire season than I gave him credit for and he was at his best for the Wash game and the SB when it counted. He did everything I wanted from him. I don't think I was wrong about him, but he has gotten better practically every week this year. Plus I now believe we have not seen his peak talent yet. I still believe he needs to work on reading the field better and recognizing coverage changes quicker, but absolutely happy to be on the wrong side of this argument about his overall prospect.
I hope we get him a good OC to continue the asend.
Thanks all FBG's in the thread for an amazing season.
Klowinski or something. He uses some motion and stuff but heard a lot of PSU homers complaining about him how he went away from stuff that worked and got too cute at times. Like they had a good running game going and suddenly changes the whole game plan to more passing. Or didn’t make in game adjustments. It sounds like he’s staying at PSU though
Any one else keep watching it over and over again? Think I just finished the 4th time.
so Im late in saying Congratulations guys!!!! That was an epic beatdown. Thank you for repping the NFCE well.
I have no idea what the 1948-49 and 1960 Eagles championship teams were like, but this year's team was easily the best fielded by the Eagles in my lifetime. I would definitely take them over 1980, 2004, 2017 and 2022.
Funny you mention this. I woke up and the first thing I saw was Todd Zolecki’s podcast talking about pitchers and catchers day 1 and my first thought was “ALREADY?!”. It came so fast because the Eagles made the SB lolLeast excited I've been about pitchers and catchers in about 7 years.
Without question.
2025 is ready to hold everyone's beer
I don't know... that '49 team had a 1 loss season and then shutout the Rams in the championship to go back-to-back. Greasy Neale had the boys firing on all cylinders. Bonus points for having to take the train to play the championship away at the LA Colosseum because Greasy didn't like to fly. I think a young Chuck Bednarik + their '40's grit could more than make up for the combined 450 lb difference in the O-lines.
Dude that is AWESOME!Just got back from the pro shop at the Linc. Along with 7 years ago, it’s the only time I didn’t mind standing in line to blow several hundred dollars on schwag. Extra special because my old man’s 80th birthday is tomorrow and I think he’ll be quite pleased
Every time the Eagles have hired an ex-Chargers offensive coordinator they have made the Super Bowl within his second year on the job
Yeah I will have to re read. I still haven't even done the game thread yet I'm on like page 12. I've been doing THAT all this year. You get the various Niners/Cowboys/Lions guys always hopping in those rooting for the other team, and my favorite part this year has been the OBVIOUS moment when they just ghost the thread its so funny.
Got a feeling Warren won't make it anywhere close to #32
My daughter and neice got a few pics with players. Kelce, Barkley and Graham are the ones I've seen so far.
Bergy was a great guy. He coached his sons at a local HS when I played and we played against him several times. He always had time after the game to talk to everyone.
I saw an interview where he said that many people had asked him to be their Valentine today.
The “nothing is possible if we all work together” was so moving and inspirational.
She's truly the gift that keeps on giving
We were on Broad and Oregon and someone tossed Baun a ball to sign and the sharpie didn’t make it. The bus started to pull off so he just poured beer all over the ball and sent it back to the guy lol
On one of the broadcasts, a reporter was doing crowd interviews and everyone in the area started chanting "we hate Mahomes!"
