*Official 2015 Philadelphia Eagles* - Winning when it doesnt count (2 Viewers)

[Deamon]

Foles/Bradford really is Insein/Deamon/JNB's Niagra Falls.

On a separate note, am I crazy to think that Murray might be a little hobbled? On that wheel route, where he did have a nice gain, it seemed like he just kind of pulled up when I really thought that he could just take off.

Since you didn't include Sha in this list, I'll take that as a compliment. At least we will all come together once he wins us some games... hopefully.

They read a stat on the air today. With Hicks on the field, the opposing QBR was 35.8. With him off the field, it was 76.2. Amazing really.

Hate seeing this. I'm worried about our D without him. Would have loved to have him to help stop Lamar.

Yeah, Hicks was playing special football. At least it is mitigated with Demeco returning; last we saw him he was making a game-changing interception against the NYG. Eli was moving right down field looking to make it 14-0 and Ryans made an incredible play. Maybe we are quick to forget how well Ryans was playing, as Hicks has burned so brightly.

Plus, Kiko should be more of an impact player in his second game back from the knee injury. He played sparingly v. Dallas last week and only recorded 1 tackle. Week 1, he had a beautiful INT against Matt Ryan that changed the momentum of that game and began a solid comeback. Then, of course, injured early in the week 2 game. We really haven't seen Kiko yet.

And that Kendricks guy? He's a beast. 17 tackles the first two games before injury cost him a month. Back to back weeks with a sack and knocking the rust off.

All this to say that losing Hicks sucks, but this is the one position where we have depth and talent, and just haven't had our players able to perform over the last 4-5 games. Hicks was a season-saving impact player at a 3rd round price tag who bridged that gap. The Eagles front office has done a masterful job of bring in LB talent and depth to run the 3-4 scheme. In fact, the whole front 7 is special and the talent pool is deep.

Winners of 3 of 4, with only a road loss versus Carolina a blemish on the record in the last month.

Leading the league in takeaways.

Since people like to compare Bradford and Foles I will just say that I think that neither one is very good - but that at least Foles is paid a fairly low wage as far as QBs go, whereas Bradford is not only grossly overpaid, but will demand another huge payday to re-sign in Philadelphia. The Rams can draft, sign, or trade for someone after this season without busting their budget and keep Foles as a mentor/backup/bridge, but Philadelphia has to decide whether to franchise Bradford, give him a huge extension, or cut him and start from scratch. I think the Rams were wise to move on from Bradford, he just doesn't seem to be worth the drama and high cost.

Bradford is making $12.9 million this year. The ex-Eagle (whom I can't mention) was signed to a two year extension worth $24.5 million. So they're basically paid the same.

As for the game, I'm thinking Philly 31 Miami 17

Foles contract was reported as 2 yrs / 24 M, but contracts are never as straightforward as the headline. He's actually making quite a bit less then 12 M / year.

ARTH CITY, Mo. -- The numbers are in on quarterback Nick Foles' two-year contract extension with the St. Louis Rams.

As expected, the deal will pay him almost $14 million guaranteed. The exact amount of guaranteed money is $13,792,000 and includes a $3 million signing bonus, a fully guaranteed base salary this season of $1,042,500 and a $2 million roster bonus to be paid on Sept. 1.

There are also $4.5 million in not likely to be earned incentives available based on going to the Pro Bowl, playoff appearances and wins. His cap number for 2014 has gone up from just over $1 million to just over $4 million.

Here's the breakdown of the deal, with all numbers courtesy of ESPN Stats & Information:

2015

Base salary: $1,042,500 (fully guaranteed)

Roster bonus: $2 million (fully guaranteed, paid on Sept. 1)

Workout bonus: $26,240

Signing bonus proration: $1 million

Cap number: $4,068,240

Cash amount: $6,068,240

2016

Base salary: $1,750,000 (guaranteed for injury at signing, becomes fully guaranteed on fifth day of next league year)

Roster bonus: $6 million (fully guaranteed, paid out on third day of league year)

Signing bonus proration: $1 million

Cap number: $8,750,000

Cash amount: $7,750,000

2017 (Voidable based on performance)

Base salary: $10,750,000

Roster bonus: $1,500,000 (paid out on third day of league year)

Signing bonus proration: $1 million

Cap number: $13,250,000

Cash amount: $12,250,000

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I think we really match up well against Miami. I just really would like to see a first drive TD from our offense. I'm thinking 28-10 but if our ground game gets going early it could get really ugly.

Tool's clarification is worthwhile, but Bradford is still definitely not grossly overpaid for this year.

I actually thought the same thing. 26-16. Think that's a bang on guess.

Didn't realize this was 3 straight on the road for Miami. That is simply brutal! They've allowed a hell of a lot of points too lately. In their last 3 games they've allowed: 26, 36, 33 points. We should be able to put up at least 26 on them, and if our D plays as it has been, can't see them scoring over 16.

 

[unckeyherb]

Marginally worried about Lamar Miller but if we can jump out to an early lead-something we've been unable to do so far this year, then I think we negate his impact from jump street and truck them.

 

[duaneok66]

I will settle for a 1 pt. win.

 

[ShaHBucks]

From last game, The Cowboys are one of the best all-around teams in he NFL. They've been in a lot of games vs good teams with Cassel and Weeden. They played better than the Eagles until Cassel served up a pick 6 to put their season in the grave. They would be 6-2 walking away with the div with Romo.

The Eagles got really lucky. Imaging if Dallas wins this game in regulation with Badford having 0 TDs and being a half of a game out of last place?? It would definitely be Sancheeks time - but we assume the Eagles will walk away with the division. I don't think we will. If we do, it's an early out because Badford blows.

Who's going to bring Badford in as a starter this off season? He's an upgrade for who Hou, Was, SF? I can't see why they would give him reasonable money. We have a QB who 31 teams won't bid on to be a starter in a few months. That's why we won't go anywhere this season. This is a great team otherwise.

Badford's weakness is good for Murray. He's starting to perculate in ppr. He's a top 5-10 ppr back right now.

Good game for Matthews. His issues had more to do with Badford than anything. He's not out the woods yet because of the QB play. You can get excited about next year with a new QB, it's hard to do much worse. He has to be one of the best after the catch. That's saying alot at his size.

Man I wish we drafted Byron Jones. Matthews would have went ballistic is not for the rookie Jones being unleashed on him.

I have the Eagles 22-31 today but I wouldn't be shocked in we lose.

 

[ShaHBucks]

On Bradford/Foles comparisons.

Obviously a complex problem with Rams (young OL, conservative offense, no WR or TE that defense needs to account for, maybe Austin to an extent, but more as a runner), but despite being 2-1 in last three games after beating CLE and SF, they now have four third down conversions during that span. COMBINED. Local journalist Bernie Miklasz noted that their third down conversion rate of sub-24% was the worst he could find since his source STATS began tracking the data in the early '70s. Not just the Rams, but period. Incidentally, this is with the clear advantage of the past five games, with Gurley, who by some measures, has been as productive as any back since the merger, including Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson (consensus best rookie season ever for a RB, as Moss was for WR, Marino at QB and I think Ditka at TE?).

Again, I don't think he is the sole problem, but he appears to be contributing. An increasing number of Rams fans, based on my limited sample, seems to be having doubts about his long term viability. Of course, if the OL gels, they add some WR talent and are predictably more productive on offense, those doubts should begin to dissipate/evaporate.

* May have been mentioned elsewhere, but the Rams are off the hook or close for the 2016 fourth round pick, Bradford has played every offensive snap at the midway point of the season.

​

I can point you to 10+ drops by Jared Cook that would have been first downs. If that's not true then it's a conspiracy on the stat keeper. WR groups leaves at least 100 yards on the field every week. I haven't seen much worse in my time.

Eagles are worse. If you want to talk about drops, Rams have a ton. But Eagles have way more. More than 40% more.ETA if you want to give a pass to Foles based on drops, then you have to give even more of a pass to Bradford, right?

[JuniorNB]

Did you happen to see your boy's one overtime pass last week? 7 yards over his wide open receiver's head forcing a punt. And a loss. By contrast, did you happen to see Bradford's overtime pass? Dead strike to a streaking Jordan Matthews for a clutch touchdown in a must win game. 70% completion percebrage, zero interceptions, and a game ending perfect pass. And ShaHBucks is talking about how we got lucky and how bad Bradford is. Lolol. You can't make this stuff up folks

From last game, The Cowboys are one of the best all-around teams in he NFL. They've been in a lot of games vs good teams with Cassel and Weeden. They played better than the Eagles until Cassel served up a pick 6 to put their season in the grave. They would be 6-2 walking away with the div with Romo.

The Eagles got really lucky. Imaging if Dallas wins this game in regulation with Badford having 0 TDs and being a half of a game out of last place?? It would definitely be Sancheeks time - but we assume the Eagles will walk away with the division. I don't think we will. If we do, it's an early out because Badford blows.

Who's going to bring Badford in as a starter this off season? He's an upgrade for who Hou, Was, SF? I can't see why they would give him reasonable money. We have a QB who 31 teams won't bid on to be a starter in a few months. That's why we won't go anywhere this season. This is a great team otherwise.

Badford's weakness is good for Murray. He's starting to perculate in ppr. He's a top 5-10 ppr back right now.

Good game for Matthews. His issues had more to do with Badford than anything. He's not out the woods yet because of the QB play. You can get excited about next year with a new QB, it's hard to do much worse. He has to be one of the best after the catch. That's saying alot at his size.

Man I wish we drafted Byron Jones. Matthews would have went ballistic is not for the rookie Jones being unleashed on him.

I have the Eagles 22-31 today but I wouldn't be shocked in we lose.

I am not even bothered by this now and actually find this hilarious

Yes he is saying that. If his last post didn't prove that he actually isn't a fan of the team and has absolutely no agenda besides bashing Bradford then nothing will. Glad he posted that stuff. Bradford plays great, his team wins a huge game and he doesn't pipe in until a week later, and says we got lucky and if Dallas pulled that win out it would for sure be Sanchez at QB. Absolutely hilarious.

 

[Deamon]

MIA CB Brent Grimes OUT. Wasn't even on report. Big loss for the Miami Pass D.

Just saw this too, and got pretty excited. Sounds like its just the flu so nothing too serious which is good news for Miami.

I'm not too familiar with Miami's pass D, does Grimes usually stay on one side or who was he expected to shadow? Davis has been good at attacking the weakness right away when a player is out so expecting him to go right after Grimes' replacement. Again, not super familiar with Dolphins players so not sure who that will be.

Good game for Matthews. His issues had more to do with Badford than anything. He's not out the woods yet because of the QB play. You can get excited about next year with a new QB, it's hard to do much worse. He has to be one of the best after the catch. That's saying alot at his size.

Man I wish we drafted Byron Jones. Matthews would have went ballistic is not for the rookie Jones being unleashed on him.

I have the Eagles 22-31 today but I wouldn't be shocked in we lose.

I am not even bothered by this now and actually find this hilarious

I just wish he'd find another team.

He overplayed his hand. Lol. Over did it with the trolling. Officially became a joke.

Bradford has his flaws and I agree that foles is certainly not set up for big stats, but honestly anyone advocating for him is not watching his games.

 

[need2know]

Foles killing it for the rams today. 10 of 22 for 112. At home vs the bears

Doesn't matter what qb we would have had

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Sanchez supporters step up!

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Cut Austin already

 

[Billy Bats]

Shut it down.

we need sam back. Any news on him? Did you work the game?

 

[sporthenry]

Team is just getting tiring to watch. Can't put a game together. Can't put teams away.

Lazy POS cost them the game.

Good God, I thought the Eagles were playing the Dolphins this week, not St. Louis.

No one seemed interested in talking Dolphins when I tried to spark it up haha.

Miami seems to be a team with extremely little history against us, without much geographical or historical game rivalries between us. We've only played them 3 times in the last 16 years, and won all 3 games.

EDT: Miami has also only ever traveled to Philly ONCE in over 19 years. Crazy.

It is kind of interesting. I really don't think I can remember anything notable about any Miami game off the top of my head. I think I can clearly remember a game with just about every other AFC team.

edit: Actually, I do remember one now that was on my birthday where my ex-wife was yelling at me. It was a night game (probably 03 or 04), but I don't remember what happened in the game.

We now have a miami game we will never forget.

I missed the Cooper play, what did he do? Penalty?

 

[duaneok66]

Illegal shift. Wasn't set on the would be TD to Ertz

 

[Deamon]

Bradford, Matthews, Mathews, all concussed in the 2nd half. Nuts.

Didn't set in time. Very close but was milliseconds away from being set a full second before the snap.

 

[GoBirds]

Ugh. Besides last week we just aren't catching any breaks. No excuse for this week really, up 16-3 rolling and you let this happen. Blocked punt, not dragging 2nd foot, INT in go ahead chip shot range.....you have to try to lose like this. Crazy.

Another one of those penalties that seems to be called randomly.

 

[unckeyherb]

Miles Austin not dragging his foot in the end zone is a cuttable offense IMO.

 

[Billy Bats]

He was sleeping on most of his routes. Thank Miles, best of luck to you.
