was this an old post from October that you forgot to hit send?Bradford has looked better every game and his numbers over the last 7 games are top ten in the league. He's not Tom Brady, but he's the least of Philly's problems right now.
Yup and who is available that is better? Quite honestly they were lucky to even get him. Top 10-15 QBs are typically locked up.
Our LBs were very poor last night. Particularly Kendricks and Alonso. It's now clear how much Jordan Hicks meant to this run defense IMO, and his injury was more significant than I realized.
And if Mathews could have gained a half yard on the fourth down, it was very likely 17-17 at the half. The game ended up getting out of hand. The defense was putrid. But I liked seeing that we have beaten New England, played a full competitive game with Carolina, and played a pretty-much dead even half of football with Arizona. If Maxwell and Rowe are out, I doubt we beat Washington. They're barely average as is, and their backups are much worse. Like Mighty Mice stated, I had no idea how much we were going to miss Jordan Hicks. We're likely to make Alfred Morris look good again.
I don't know that I agree that we weren't even close. There was a couple points in the game where we had a great chance to be right back in the game and just didn't make the plays. Obviously the drive before the half was huge but we had a few other where someone made a key drop on a catchable pass or we had a fumble.
Plus I think you give him a year after the injury and see if there is any improvement next year.
yup, and considering Foles might end up getting cut, it looks like a great trade.
I'm on board, let him keep developing in the system. He's not old.....6 years younger that Eli, 7 than Romo, and Cousins is less than a year younger than him. Still need a good number 2 but who doesn't.
Some people forget who are losses are to. We have 5 losses this year with Bradford as our QB for the game. 3 of them were in his first 4 games in 2 years, where he was learning the system and knocking off the rust. The other 2 of them were to the 2 best teams in the NFC. We are clearly not elite and not deserving of a Super Bowl if we can't hang with those elite teams, but since he's hit his stride in week 5, we haven't even seen him lose a game to a bad, average, or even a just pretty good team.
Watching Shady's antics and hearing him talk this year makes me not even remotely think that was a bad trade. He likely would have been cut anyways. If we got a 6th rounder back for him I would have been happy. Disappointed Kiko isn't doing better for sure, but he was just a bonus anyways.
It's huge for us that he's out next week. I'd rather play the Giants once they're eliminated then play them with a shot to get into the playoffs. Coughlin may sit ODB the last game anyways. Doubtful, but you never know. And without much to play for, not sure how they will show up. They had nothing to play for in week 17 last year, and their defense just went to ####. ODB/Randle did drop like 350 yards on us alone, but I think a deflated Giants team is beatable.
Bradford is moving the ball pretty good but this offense is far from clicking. We've scored more than 30 pts on offense only once this year. We had 9 games last year with 30 or more and 8 in 2013.
You act like it's your job to reply to every post with some form of disagreement. "Good" is relative. I think we have a better then average team but a team that is extremely far from being elite.
Yeah Mikey miss kept saying that an Eagles win this week coupled with a Giants loss would get the Eagles in. Can he really be that ignorant?
I just don't get people who think the Ginats game is a gimme but Dallas will give Washington trouble. Like it or not, Washington is a more balanced team than us right now.
All I'm saying, is that we are a different team now that our QB is comfortable and I give the first 4 games to being rusty/unfamiliar with the system. Since then, in games he has been our QB, we are scoring 27 points per game. 4th in the NFL only behind Carolina, New England, and Arizona.
No game in the NFL is a gimme. I'm very worried about this week, Washington looks good right now. That being said, they're worse then 2 of the last 3 teams we've faced by a pretty hefty margin.
Link? That isn't true.
i tell you the one that i absolutely can not understand is Carolina being number 2 on that list with 29.5. Outside of Cam, i think the Eagles are more talented at amolst every single position (maybe Olsen is better), but Carolina just steamrolls. i bet them in the beginning of the year to be the lowest scoring team and could not have been more wrong. just can't figure out how they put up so many points week in and week out
