2024 Philadelphia Eagles - First one was for the fans. This one was for the team. Next one is for the legacy. (7 Viewers)

Parade highlights:

Q being drunk and wandering into the crowd a few times with Bradberry trying to keep him in check.

Zach Baun signed (and then kissed) a baby.

Howie taking a beer can rocket to the forehead and declaring, “I bleed for this city!”

Sasquon recognizing an Eagles ball boy in the crowd and bringing him into the parade.

Jalen smiling more than we’ve ever seen.

CJGJ’s sweatshirt with the Swifties clap back.

Nolan Smith picking up random kids to ride his shoulders.

Jake Elliot place kicking beer cans.

AJ Brown snagging a beer like a WR1.

Milton Williams’ dad doing “BTA” to the crowd (and his own thigh) for the entire route.

Eagles medical staff with their own bus and a banner flexing 21 of 22 opening game starters played in SB59.

The “Dallas fans are at work today” sign.

The spit-roasted pig decorated as Mahomes.

“WRAP-IT-UP” chants for the Mayor.

Hurts and his Rocky steps promise to himself.

AJ’s short and to the point speech.

Dickerson and CJGJ’s speeches, that they couldn’t bleep to us in the crowd. (So glad I made it all the way to the Art Museum this time)

Big Dom being put on the spot.

The Exciting Whites.

Lane’s BDN reference.

Putting the two Lombardi’s in front of BG.

ETA: Forgot about Coop injuring himself with that big Bud Light chain he was wearing.

Is that the cut i see on howies forehead?
Yeah. That’s why he opened his speech with “I bleed for this city!” Lol

Howie has done such an amazing job with the Eagles. Basically a consent contender since he has been involved. Great GM+.

Maybe don't throw a beer at him? If any man needs a Guardian cap to keep that brain safe.....

Cheers Philly fans. :banned:
 
Hope all who made it had fun. Seemed from watching on my phone more people went this time then last. My boss came in today and gives me the bs I could’ve gone but went about asking the wrong way and I should’ve told him at least last week I wanted to go. Huh ive told him at least 10Xs this year if me made it I wanted to go. I felt bad for my GF who missed the last as she wasn’t even in the area yet. Felt bad that my brother who got into from sometime between SB52 and last year was there and a moment I never thought could happened was missed as well.

Sounded like a good time but complete hell getting out of the city after. My plan was to meet with my cousins hopefully and meet up somewhere to wait out the crowd. I did something similar for the last parade and despite constant detour of what stop to use to get home it was a much better ride home on the MFL.
 
I see ads for alot of commemorative crap on sale after the SB, anything you guys are buying?
I'm trying to find the best shot / angle of the strip sack when Williams and Carter blew up Mahomes maybe even to get signed eventually.
Hoping they add more Eagles to the upcoming Philly Card Show.
Maybe put up next to a shot of BG's strip sack of Brady in LII... he's signing at the show.
Dissappointed in a lot of the merch this time. SB52 I made out with a Zach Ertz “Ertz so good” plus an underdogs shirt. I got my hat and my GF got me for Valentine’s Day the sb shirt as her grandfather’s store got them in early the other day .

However Kelly green merch just dropped in nfl store

I might look into that.
 
After sleeping on it, I want Nick gone but won't be devastated if he stays.

But I want Vrabel. He's the perfect fit. Fix the F'n defense. Hire an OC with experience, maybe a failed HC like Reich, Staley, etc.

Or hell, give me Harbaugh and then bring in Wink or another experienced DC to completely take it over and revamp our defense.
Damn, I screwed this one up lol
 
With Fangio and Moore- Siri’s seat gonna get hot if they don’t look better this year, I imagine.

This offseason is gonna be really interesting to see what Howie does.
Yep, I love it. If it fails then clearly it was more a Nick problem and he will be gone after next year. If it works, then we know it was the co-ordinators.

I absolutely LOVE the 2 hires. Pretty much best possible outcome. Now lets see what Howie does with the roster.
Not bad on this one
 
Eagles sign Kellen Moore: Cowboys fans rush in here saying how awful he was/is and that it was a bad move.
Eagles sign Saquon Barkley: Giants fans rush in here saying how awful he was/is and that it was a bad move.
Eagles sign Devin White: Bucs fans rush in here saying how awful he was/is and that it was a bad move.
Eagles get Kenny Pickett: Steelers fans rush in here saying how awful he was/is and that it was a bad move.

It's wild lol.
Granted, these were/are all bad moves.
[McLaughlin]WRONG![/McLaughlin]
 
Howie Roseman on Zack Baun, who was a "targeted" player for the Eagles at the start of free agency: "Vic (Fangio), when he went to Miami last year, had a player with a similar skill set that hadn't really ascended yet. ...You saw that guy in Vic's defense, has the ability to play off the ball, has the ability to play on the edge, has these tools in his body, really ascend under Vic. We think Zack's a versatile player who can rush from the edge, can play off the ball, tremendous special teams player. We were excited — he was a targeted guy for us."

(Howie won't name the player comparison because he's on a different team, but it's Andrew Van Ginkel. Both Baun and Van Ginkel played the same role at Wisconsin, too.)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(First mention of Baun in this thread)
 
I'm so looking forward to this season. I see lots of positives to get excited about. I'm most excited about Barkley's prospects and look forward to seeing him do for us what he previously did against us. I think he'll have his best season of his career statistically and believe he'll easily be a top five or better fantasy RB. It wouldn't surprise me if he finished overall RB1 in the NFL and fantasy.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Kellen Moore. Woof.

Let’s chat in week 9/10ish.
sure :)

I expect about week 6 the Philly crowd will have him screaming to be placed in the witness protection program unless he has learned a new formula on how to do his job since leaving another team. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Congrats on the SB. If calling me out for this comment makes you feel better you. Enjoy the moment!

In my defense, I still don’t believe it was because of Kellen Moore. It’s good for you guys that he leaned to stop being cute and just run the ball.

Especially with Barkley and your oline.
 
Howie Roseman is going to have a street named after him in Philadelphia
The man continues to run rings around many other GM/VPs in the NFL
Not sure where he ranks exactly but he would be high on my list.
And I did look up the Hall of Fame and there have been a handful of folks from the Front Office section of the NFL that made it into the Hall of Fame
Another Lombardi Trophy and I would want to discuss Roseman as a potential candidate

That's where I'm at after watching Philly continue to do well in these Drafts.
I know Roseman has had some bad ones, everyone does but he continues to overturn the roster as needed
It's not emotional, it's business and he's not afraid to open up the checkbook to acquire talent and take care of the true Pro Bowlers that grace the team

I've said enough but I watch a lot of Philly games, watched Miami lose to y'all a couple times, I take good notes and Philly is a team I measure moves that Miami makes
Right now in the modern NFL, the Eagles are a team you want your home team to emulate. I have a few of these but Philly is on the short list.
Some teams take a "Half Measure" and the Eagles decided to take a "Full Measure" at DB
Cooper Dejean really paid off in the Super Bowl

I love getting notifications of likes or 🤔 on old posts. I’m not reading through the whole thread, but going back and seeing snippets of predictions and hot takes is fun.

It’s what he does. It’s special

Both of you (and there may have been another 1 or 2) bashed Moore for a large part of the year. This is when you just admit you were wrong (we all are) and just move on. Or just don’t reply, that probably would have been the wiser choice.

I’m old enough to remember some game threads this year where eagles fans were complaining about Moore

Either way, the bumping of old posts is weak sauce. And you know it

Nah, the bumping of old posts is entertaining and completely justified. If you had a hot take that turned out to age poorly, own it like a man.

Moore was fine. Def better than brian johnson or sirrani calling plays. But its more about saquan and sticking to the run. The defense was incredible. Complementry football. Fangio was way more impactful imo. Im not that upset moore is leaving. Eagles oc is prob a pretty coveted spot

Glad you feel complete existing in a Eagles championship thread
 
I think the first half of the season is going to be a little tricky. “Home” game in Brazil than home for Atlanta who won’t be easy, then at New Orleans and Tampa, who I think are not pushovers.

Then the bye.

Then Cleveland, which I’m glad is after a bye, at the giants (not worried), at Cincy which won’t be easy, home vs jax which I guess is not too bad but they could be feisty, then at Dallas. That’s the first 9 games.

Then they have Washington on 4 days rest (probably not that big of a deal) and have to go to LA and to Baltimore. The last 5 games should be relatively easy, as long as everyone is healthy.

Back to the prior discussion about ranking the position group, the ringer’s Philly special pod scored all the position groups from 1-10 and the thing that I mainly took away from the exercise is the lack of depth that the team has. Especially on the o line and the edge rusher position. I know that it is really hard to have quality depth in today’s nfl, but the eagles’ roster is pretty top heavy. If this season goes badly, I think that it will be due to a couple of injuries to starters, especially in those position groups.

The way for it to go well is for the jalen and the receivers and Saquon to be lights out and the secondary really come together.
I think this was actually a pretty good post. The eagles did not have all that much in the way of injuries, Saquon was amazing and the secondary did a great job. To be fair, their depth probably was a little better than I was giving it credit for.
 
9-2 or better Eagles starts in first 89 seasons: 6

9-2 or better starts in the last 3 seasons: 3
I wonder if Sirianni is a bad coach? He's too animated on the sideline....too many antics. Too aggressive on 4th down. Passes up easy points stupidly.....I don't know man.....he might have to go.
I’ll eat my crow- I was ready to get rid of Nick before the bye. He’s a complete mook, and he makes some boneheaded calls. And he has trouble keeping his fingerprints off the Offense.

But he wins. He wins a lot. And the players love him and play hard for him. He’s a better coach than I gave him credit for. I just wish he didn’t come off as such a mook. If This team wins a Super Bowl under him- I’ll get his face tattooed on my back.

With Big Dom.

and Howie wearing shades.

and Vic Fangio. Like Mount Rushmore.
Update?

LOL responding to a guy that said "Let's chat in Week 9/10" It's weak sauce bringing up a post where someone asked to bring it up in the future? You're so weird.

Not possible for them.

Nah wasn't doing it for that. You were the one who said/implied 'lets talk about this later, you'll see how bad he turns out". If we were 0-9, wouldn't you have quoted your own post there and brought it up in week 10? Yes, you would have.

Either way, you're still a decent one Bankerguy.

This, this and this. Had they been right they’d be in here daily to remind us.
 
I’m gonna make a bold prediction: Jalen is gonna be the MVP of the Superb Owl this year.

Remember the feeling we had watching him play against KC in ‘22? He’d have won MVP thar year, if Gannon coulda made one single adjustment in the 2nd Half.

He’s about to ball out thru the playoffs, and show us that level of play again. Look back at the Steelers game and how wide open the Offense was running. Jalen was on fire and looked quick and decisive. He came out in the WAS game looking the same, just got hurt early.

The concussion is fine. Has been fine since the week after. The rust issue is a media hot take.

Nick and Kellen are going to take the governor off this Offense and come out guns blazing. After the early bye, I think there was an organizational shift where they decided to lean on Say-Qwan 🦅 behind the elite Oline, and minimize TOs. They got in Jalen’s ear and convinced him to settle down, stop pressing and play conservative. He did and went from a TO machine to an ultra-conservative game manager.

That’s all over. Eagles are gonna roll over Green Bay and Tampa. They are gonna win a decisive NFCCG over Detroit. Then they are gonna pummel a reeeling Chiefs team. And Jalen is winning MVP.
amongst a bunch of futures bets I made at the beginning of the year, I recently threw $50 @ +1500 on Jalen winning the SB MVP because I agree with you 100%.
Congrats on this bet!
