*Official 2018 Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles* - Tough way to go out. Magic finally gone. (2 Viewers)

[DJackson10]

Only read one line of this post because it was highlighted.  But I haven't really heard anything.  It's mainly only the defensive side that I hear things about.

Thats fine it was the main thing I hoped you had. I just like having my stuff right or checked to not look like an idiot either. Figured maybe you heard a few things. Not sure how close your guy is with Doug but my Co workers Son Doug personally mentioned to him he was coming to Philly with him if he was hired here given he is from this area. Andy was really upset to see him go but what Doug was offering him was a promotion and more money plus an added bonus he'd be living at home. Thank god after what happened with his family last year. 

 

[DJackson10]

I don't see it.  The Rams are on a mission this year, I think it's quite unlikely that they're one and done in the playoffs.

I don't see them one and done and if the Eagles are out I hope the Rams win especially now with all the fires and everything it'd be great for them to help the city out in a moral way. But the Eagles offense does have a potential to keep games close in shootouts. problem is they haven't reached that potential at all this year. 

 

[dhockster]

Friggin' Josh McDaniels. If he takes the Indy job, Reich is still with the Eagles, and the Eagles are probably 2 games ahead of where they are now. Everything about the Patriots sucks.

 

[Deamon]

a fair weather fan wouldn't be in this thread posting right now. The loss hurts and it hurts more because the reality of this team sits in. Blowing 2 17-point leads in 2nd halves can be somewhat flukey, but this game they had 2 weeks to prepare and they failed miserably. a lot to point to. 

but no, a fair weather fan would looking at other winning teams or would have been out of here awhile ago. Look at other team threads. When teams lose, they are ghost towns. When Eagles lose, this one goes multiple pages. Look at the Cowboys thread today, it is all rainbows and unicorns over there. if they lose, i am guessing it is a ghost town

lol ya, you can call us a lot of things, but fairweather isn't one of them.  We've stayed emotionally invested through decades of non-championship seasons.

lol  . Didn't even think about it that way, but yeah losing both guys seems to be an issue. 

Last year Eagles were 2nd or 3rd in the league with points in the 1st quarter. This year they are 32nd

 

[Deamon]

Just to be clear, I fully don't think we're going to win next week, but found this interesting:

The last 7 games that we were Vegas underdogs:  (Not counting the Week 17 game last year when we rested all starters)

Oct 1 vs San Diego- Win
Oct 12 vs Carolina- Win
Dec 10 vs Rams- Win
Jan 13 vs Atlanta- Win
Jan 21 vs Minny- Win
Feb 4 vs New England- Win
Sept 6 vs Atlanta- Win

there is a reason the line is only -7. i do anticipate it going up throughout the week, and i like most in here do not have the faith that Shwartz can hold Saints to under 30 points. But why this season has been so frustrating is that they have the potential to battle with the top teams in the league. they just simply aren't doing it this year

 

[DJackson10]

Agreed on RB's.  We need someone better badly.  Maybe we take a look at Ingram this offseason.  Otherwise, it's time to draft one maybe with one of our 2nd rounders.

As for Rushing Defense, we had the #2 Rushing Defense in the NFL coming into this week.  I would say that's much better than average.  Passing defense is absolutely awful.  Combination of poor play calling by Schwartz, devastating injuries (we've now lost 4 of our top 5 DBs), and just not being good back there.

Probably 75% of the time 4th and longs don't get converted.  Against ANY team.  Those Titans and Panthers ones sting so much.

Bennie Snell or Bryce Love would be great. Later rounds my Biased Lamicheal Perine (Smajie Perine Cousin/Brother can't remember) would be good your typical run through the tackles and can pass catch. Jordan Scarlett would be as well he trucked sticked a few players on Saturday. The good thing about the UF backs though is Florida has been running a lot of RPO so so it wouldn't come hard for them to learn the offense plus neither guy is expected to go too early. If one fell I would definitely pick them up. A very intriguing RB is Rodney Anderson who is from OU but suffered a Season ending knee injury declared for the draft. He's got great size but impressive speed for it. He was suppose to be and early round guy but durability issues are a concern. If he falls big time he'd be a guy you could pick up later. Was running a 4.50 before his injury. 

We could use some better overall CB talent. I like Douglas and Mills is more of a Malcom Jenkins hybrid (Not saying as talented but skill wise) a CB in college who needs to be converted to a safety. Maybe convert him next offseason and use him as the back up to both Safety spots. Im starting to really not trust Sidney Jones either. 3 injuries in a year time span? Thats never good. Plus he's suppose to be the big play guy and I haven't seen one huge impact from him. I've seen Douglas make more impact with less playing time. I'd like to maybe get a CB in FA as well. Bradley Roby would look nice. Maybe they bring Darby back on a 1 year prove it deal on incentives? Maybe get DeAndre Baker in the draft. 

 

[Interseptopus]

Can we see examples? I saw no such thing at least around here. A few social media but I can guarantee you 98% of those people are bandwagon fans. Everyone here thought we could win the division based on how the other teams looked. No one was saying reaching another SB was gonna be easy with The Rams and NO and maybe Minny. 

Sure, I'll get back to you in about 3 months after I comb through the various threads since January!

Spin it how you want, but it was fair weather content. Bandwagoners are the ones who hop to other teams that are successful.  Just look at the Pats fanbase.

I'm at work right now. Grasping at a straw, yes, as I eat my lunch. Crazy that you knew that.I have 11 minutes left. Not enough time to dig through, I apologize. Asking me to, right now, comb through every Philly and Dallas player topic/thread since January to come up with a few examples of Philly fans being obnoxious with predictions, or I'm full of it, is a pretty hard feat to accomplish.  And quite frankly, I don't care enough to do it. It carries no weight for me, so you win this one. I know what I saw and that's about all I need. Carry on!

Maybe you should worry about your QB's next meltdown before worrying about another teams fanbase or maybe worry about the loudmouth cheap shot safety you have that might cost you a game or two in the near future if he keeps it up  ? Every teams fanbase has a few fans that go hyperbole. This is no different then calling all Phlly fans bad because some guy beat up someone? We didn't blame all Carolina fans after one of your Fans cheap shotted an Eagles fan in Charlotte a year or so ago. Hey don't take your frustrations out on us about your team getting embarrassed by Pitt on TNF this week, 

 

[Deamon]

Last year Eagles were 2nd or 3rd in the league with points in the 1st quarter. This year they are 32nd

We should have just assumed Reich was leaving and promoted Defilippo.  We played a scary game of trying to keep both and it backfired only because they left in that order.  Maybe just a learning curve with Groh and he'll get there.

Ya the 1st quarter offense is bad.  Same with 4th quarter.  2nd and 3rd quarters we are above the league average. 

We did, however, kick off to start the game the first 6 games, and we received opening kick the last 3.

[Bigboy10182000]

We played it perfectly though. You just don’t see a guy say he’ll be a HC, have other coaches sign only to have him change his mind. Just crazy. 

A lot of this is speculation too. We’ll never know how much or less Reich and Flipp did or what they’re impact was on a game or player. 

I think that subject could get overblown and what’s underblown is that the league has tape on Doug and Wentz and they’ve adjusted.

  Whaaaa? He isn't a Panthers fan, but I am .  Those meanass Steelers did give the cats a beatdown, but according to my Magic 8-Ball, the chances of a bounce back are "Most Likely".

Maybe, but wasn't Reich likely gone after this season if not last season?  I guess you can't exactly release a superbowl winning OC just so you don't lose your QB coach.  I still think DeFilippo was the bigger loss though long term

 

[DJackson10]

Funny most packer fans I know are pretty classy and not annoying. Or make back hand comments. The only reason that team right now is relevant is Aaron Rodgers. McCarthy must have nudes or something to keep his job.

I think he's been alright in here.  Besides claiming that we called it a dynasty.   Just because Rodgers is the only reason they're relevant though doesn't mean much.  He's insanely good. 

 

[Deamon]

?

I think they're probably the third best team in the NFC right now.  Lost 2 very close games @ The patriots and @ The Rams.  

I'd absolutely love to have their record and upcoming schedule.  They likely win 9.5 games this year.  Anyways, not about the packers right now.

Thats what I mean him being insanely good has kept them good. Where would GB be without him. Thompson isn't known for hitting a HR in FA and is a build from within guy. McCarthy was making Andy Reid's play calling and clock management look good too. He's a nice example of a coach riding his star players coattails. I like the dude as a person and yes he has a winning record but postseason he's only 2 games over .500 for his career. They've had the benefit of playing in a terrible weak NFC north for yrs as well. 

I just find the dynasty comments grasping for straws here. Like who really cares. It's not like we acted like Boston fans have over the years or others. We just won our first SB let us enjoy it. 

 

[modogg]

you really laugh/respond to the strangest things. Not sure what you got out of that that made you feel the need to respond. Maybe the semantics with fair weather fan or something, but it seemed pretty accurate. 

congrats to your team, glad you changed your avatar from the Dodgers after they got beat up to the Cowboys for now. The Cowboys certainly seem to be on the right path, i for one would be happy to see them beat the Redskins the next time they play

[fred_1_15301]

I'm not sure why anyone would listen to that clown. I've heard so many horror stories about the guy. One of my friends did a Internship at WIP to graduate and he was interning with Big Daddy. After meeting Howard Eskin I kind of changed my overall opinion on Howard but there seemed to be a lot of people who had worked for Miss who hated the guy. I was on an old forum for baseball when Mikey M wrote an article for the Inky (Not sure if he does) but he made some mistakes easily fixed going to The Cots Contract MLB website when the Phillies extended him. He also made claims about talking to Cole Hamels agent about an extensions. One of the guys there wrote for a local blog site and mentioned to Miss in a nice email he got a few things wrong and here's the right info. No biggie right as these things happen from time to time. Nope Miss went off on him calling him a wannabe blogger f** among a lot of other things in an incoherent emails. This poster who I knew also had written about Hamels agent never saying anything to Mikey Miss. Hamel's agent called him and said he was right and Miss would be the last guy he would give an exclusive to in this city and mentioned how people he talks too in the agent world and media for other sports think the dude is a joke. The guy wrote an email attaching the email exchanged he had to Mikey's bosses who gave him the typical company PR lines. Nothing was done about it. This was before Miss's tweets making fun of Victor Cruz blowing out his knee in the EZ. The dude is just a wannabe Howard E. I didn't even get into the stuff Tony Bruno has gone after him and his former employees at that station either. Bruno went on a huge rant about both stations a year ago expose some god honest truths. Either way thats my Mikey Miss rant for today 

I never really said that I listen to his show or respect him.  I just prescribe to his sports betting philosophy and to be honest I’ve done quite well with it.  But yeah, other than that he’s mostly just drivel.

The entire post made me chuckle 

The best part is how you can't seem to type up a post without mentioning the Dallas Cowboys

The Eagles are 4-5 and can get to 11 wins if they win out. Yet fans are jumping ship left and right. All this half a season after winning the SB.   

Maybe now they can break out their stupid dog masks and catch lightning in a bottle again, if it happened once it could happen again

Sounds impartial.

Not jumping ship, but yes, our season is likely over.  I don't think there's anything "Fairweather" or bad about realistically saying we aren't winning 11 games.  We are not built to beat the Saints.

And you keep mentioning our obsession with Dallas, yet you're the one Dallas fan in here today, scrolling through just to type laughing faces.  Hmmm.  

Anyways congrats on the win.

I've posted why modogs post was funny.

The other was very funny because the poster snapped on Dr Dan for no reason and then called him a Panthers fan. That's funny

Yeah never said you did. I just can't stand anyone bring up these clowns on radio anymore. When we had DH in here when his buddy worked for the team well before I got any of my own guys I realized 98% of talk radio throws trash on a wall hoping something sticks and unless its reported by one of the main sports guys like Scheftar or whatever and locally by a few here most guys are just guessing and don't know anything that goes on in these offices. I loved reading and hearing people saying the Eagles didn't try to get this or that, all while reading in here DH telling us his buddy was saying the team wanted X Player or Y player but another team out bid them or a guy was drafted sooner then they expected, or they were too expensive trade wise or pay wise, etc. Just because they didn't get a player didn't mean they weren't trying. Huge misconception with Sports radio and fans. 

But yeah if I can find the link of Bruno going off on both stations I'll link it here. It's great. He basically said he had zero issues with Josh Innes and unfortunately Josh showed an illustration that the station wasn't going to defend him on. Also said CBS who owned the station was going into a new direction with them possible getting ready to sell to someone else and talked how 97.5 negotiated with Gargano while at WIP and him at Fan to take his spot without knowing. He said there were personalities on both stations he enjoyed working with but wouldn't mention names as he said he was fearful the station would find some BS to get them fired or make their job more difficult because both stations bosses were so petty and childish. He really laid into both stations. It just boggles my mind when I still see people repeating crap from these stations

That's a valid concern people here are talking about.  He's had a LOT of chances to tie/win games and failed to do so.

He seems to also follow me and make some smart ### comment what ever thread I'm in. I think he has a problem. 

 

[DJackson10]

The Eagles released TE Billy Brown off the PS and signed former Giant Will Tye to it. Also the eagles Activated Richard Rodgers 21 days to become active on the roster again today. So they are using one of their return from IR spots on RR it seems. Timmy Jerinagan or Mac Hollins are the other two likely candidates. 

 

[renesauz]

Haven't read the last couple of pages...been avoiding coming here while I sorted out my thoughts on this current squad. A few things that jump out at me:

1. The Eagles seem to be getting the best other teams have to offer. Indy and Dallas probably played their best games of the year against us. Carolina and Tennesee both played very well also (better then there average). No doubt being the "champ" lifts up the effort of opponents. Kind of makes the last 15 years of Patriots history even more impressive.

2. The lack of a consistent running game is hurting, but isn't the biggest issue by far. Losing Ajayi was big. Our RBs can't be relied on to salt away the game right now, or pick up a critical third down. Fortunately, Wentz has been fantastic and the team has been pretty good at throwing for those critical conversions even though everyone knows they can't run for it.

3. I'm completely flustered by the defensive philosophy/gameplan right now. Our secondary is TERRIBLE, but we knew it wouldn't be very good. There are a couple of ways to overcome that. One is to bring constant pressure and cover up the deficiencies by forcing the opposing QB to make quick decisions...leading to lots of sacks and turnovers. The other approach is the one they've used and only works with a dominant line: drop 7 consistantly. The Eagles have clearly gone with the second approach, and blitz less then any other team in the NFL right now. Statisticly, the Eagles are probably average to a little above with "pressures" and sacks (I didn't look this up) but it isn't working. The statistics are lying. All too often one of our fantastic D-lineman gets pressure, forces the QB off his mark...and then there's nobody behind that lineman. The QB resets, has another 1/2 second to a second to find his target and deliver...just as if he was never pressured at all. Our lineman are operating as individuals, and their sacks are almost always the result of terrific individual plays instead of the result of a QB who can't avoid the 2nd or 3rd guy (which is how MOST NFL sacks occur!) The result is that while this defense is giving up fewer big plays then last year, they are also giving up more 8, 10, 12 play drives...drives that keep the strength of the Eagles (the Offense) on the sideline. If you're going to give up points anyway, make the opposing team's drives short ones...BLITZ THE MFers and force them into either making a mistake or beating us for a big play. I'd rather give up a 3 play 70 yard TD in 2 minutes then a 12 play drive in 7 minutes. Yeah...the Eagles still do well in time of possession, but that's not because of the defense, it's because of the way the offense typically works. Our offense doesn't seem to be getting enough possessions, and our defense isn't creating anyway near enough turnovers. The defensive GAMEPLAN is failing us more then the quality of the players in it is. And I'm astounded by this: Doug's offense is aggressive, Schwartz's reputation was built off aggression, but this defense has been passive...and this secondary is too weak to be passive

4. This is NOT over. Too many divisional games left. We've seen a marginal GIants team go on a run and take down a previously unbeaten Patriots in the big one before. The Eagles have 2 more against Washington and another against Dallas still on the schedule. They'll probably need to steal one nobody expects (like NO), but the offensive firepower is there. This team, with a couple of breaks (lucky bounces, unexpected turnovers) can beat anyone. I'm not counting on it or expecting it, but it's far from impossible for the Eagles to make a run and the playoffs.

 

[renesauz]

wow.  thats easy $$.

wouldn't touch any line with a ten foot pole. Eagles offense is still capable of scoring in bunches. Wouldn't shock me to see 80 points scored next week (a 48-17 thrashing wouldn't be shocking either)

We all know that the Vegus guys are usually-not always--but usually the smartest in the room. This line is telling us they think we have a chance. If they win the coin toss they should take the ball and to Renesauz's excellent points above, turn the game into an Arena football game. Let it be 48-45 if need be. Only chance they have to win IMHO.

My Emoji for not realizing he was the Packers fan and not the Panthers fan I thought he was. I got the two posters mixed up fan Wise. 

 

[DJackson10]

John Clarke mentioned Sidney Jones had a workout on Sunday and looked good. Said he's gonna try it in practice this week and if he makes it through will start on the outside Sunday. Also said Timmy Jernigan will be back Sunday. That would be big if we can get those two back. I'm by far not the biggest Sidney Jones fan but he's better then throwing the guys we did out there once Darby got hurt that weren't named Malcom Jenkins or Rasual Douglas against Drew Bree's.

Do we have to play?  Can we just no show and treat this game as a bye week to prepare for the next 3 big divisional games?

Wait - you saw how we used the bye week to prep for the huge home divisional game we had, right?

Ya, would still rather be rested than not rested.  Was obviously kidding about that though.

John Clark saying Jernigan and Sidney jones expected to play Sunday. Didn't mention any limits for TJ but maybe they didn't come out publicly with anything yet till tomorrow. Said Jones will start on the outside. This is Jones chance to show how good he really is. I'm pulling for the guy but I'm not expecting a whole lot either.

Yea. I'm not mad. Just disappointed. Glad we got the Super Bowl when we did. It may never happen again.
