Just don't want to leave the stadium as angry as last year vs Carolina. So trying to not care about the outcome of the game lolBelichick had two weeks to prepare for Philly before the Super Bowl too. Stay positive.

Good luck with thatJust don't want to leave the stadium as angry as last year vs Carolina. So trying to not care about the outcome of the game lol
I know, I know. In my head it's my plan to just focus on soaking everything in all weekend, but once the game starts I'm sure I'll be stressed to the max.Good luck with that
The decision to have him come back before the bye is going to be criticized like crazy and it should be.So Desean is having surgery that is expected to keep him out the rest of the season. FFS.
The player has all the control in that situationYa, some heads in the medical department need to roll here. Have that surgery week 2!
really? Don't you think they could have put him on IR and had him have the surgery? Or gotten other opinions as to if surgery was a good idea?The player has all the control in that situation
I guess. Just seems like a massive #### up here on someone's part.I think Dougie alluded in his press conference that DeSean was the one early on that didnt want the surgery. We don't know how hard the Eagles staff did or did not press him on it.
Nah, I think it was a good move. 6 weeks is enough time for it to have healed. He didn't reinjure it, he just needed the surgery all along. At least now there's a chance he could come back if needed in the playoffs, You wait till after the bye - guarantee the same damn thing happens, except now its two weeks later he's getting the surgery..The decision to have him come back before the bye is going to be criticized like crazy and it should be.
The bigger issues, imo, is that our 2nd round pick can't get on the field and our front office didn't make a move ahead of the deadline nor did they pick up a speed receiver for free off of waivers. Hence, we're stuck with our WR4 who can't even get a target.I get it, he sucks but it’s starting to get out of hand with the criticism of him. When Jackson is healthy he was our 4 and 5 when JJAW was getting playing time early on. A lot of teams 4 and 5 WR’s suck.
It blows my mind. And they all had to know that Desean wasn't healing like he should have. He was a 'maybe next week' for five weeks. We saw teams waving players like Emanual Sanders, Robbie Anderson, Mohammed Sanu, AJ Green, and a freebie in Josh Gordon and Howie and Doug came to the conclusion that Jefferey, Hollins, and Agholar were good enough. I can't imagine how pissed off Wentz must be. The entire team should be.The bigger issues, imo, is that our 2nd round pick can't get on the field and our front office didn't make a move ahead of the deadline nor did they pick up a speed receiver for free off of waivers.

Crabtree possibly. No on the others.Your GM passed up on Josh Gordon and put all his eggs into DJax. COME ON! As a Wentz owner I am furious at your franchise. WTF???
Moving forward, there are WRs on FA that can come in and be field stretchers or difference makers:
Antonio Brown, age 31
Kevin White, age 27
Michael Crabtree, age 32
Dez Bryant, age 31
Eagles fans before you dismiss this list, any of these FAs are better than Nelson A.
i'd wager he comes back for Cowboys gameDesean is done for the year
Hmmm. Doesn't sound like it. Hope so thoughi'd wager he comes back for Cowboys game
None of those wr are speed guys.Your GM passed up on Josh Gordon and put all his eggs into DJax. COME ON! As a Wentz owner I am furious at your franchise. WTF???

He was in the first Series looked like every play. Then he was out with what they initially reported an equipment issue. The Core injury he made worse and now it's completely torn off the bone. He should've just had the surgery when it initially happened.I didn’t see game, djax came out after one play? He’s so unreliable it’s brutal.....even more brutal is none of the young WR stepping up.
I was really excited about that pick too. I don't know what's wrong with him. Is it maybe he's not getting enough reps with Wentz, not understanding the playbook? Maybe just coaches not feeling he's ready? It's weirdJJAW being nowhere near ready is a problem. He was a 2nd round pick and can't get on the field??
I will say I was really wrong on JuJu. Jesus he looks way more of a solid 1st round pick then Agholar wasHave to stop scouting in the Pac 12. Just stop it cold. Risk reward not there.
I'll take them both and Marken looked great in Pre season especially as a returnerMack Hollins has more penalty yards then receiving yards this year.
I don't even want to see him on the field. Bring in Marken Michel, Greg Ward, literally anyone else.
I asked my buddy about Gordon. The team just didn't feel comfortable bringing him in. There's concerns he was dogging plays in NE among other issues. The talent is there but they didn't want to bring in a guy who could rub off on the young guys in a bad way. Gordon's issues are more then just a few pot busts apparently. No one in the NFL seems to want to elaborate on them. I believe he was late for a meeting or two in NE over the last few weeks.It's mind boggling that the eagles passed on Josh Gordon. With Alshon regressing to an average to below-average receiver, he would easily be our best receiver. And it wouldn't have cost us anything. If he relapses and pees hot after 4 games, so what? What was lost? He's got a drug addiction but he's a hard worker and he's not a locker room problem. It's very frustrating watching other contenders snatch up guys like Jalen Ramsey and Emmanual Sanders, but at least you can take consolation that we didn't give up draft capital. But allowing Seattle to add Gordon to their roster when Wentz' only weapons are Ertz, Goedart, and Sanders is infuriating.
That said, nice win yesterday. Bears defense is legit and are currently #1 in the league on third down and in the red zone. Over 400 yards of offense, running for 150, and possessing the ball over 40 minutes are all excellent stats.
I'm not big on calling them that. NE had one of the easiest schedules to start the season. They got Lucky playing some terrible teams and The Steelers look like they were no where close to what people thought. Granted they have had no Big Ben since the 2nd half of the game in Week 2 but they looked bad in both games he even played in as well. Bal greatly exposed their weaknesses and NE offensive line is pretty bad we should easily with our Front 4 dominate them in the trenches on both sides. The Secondary is a question mark here still but the better QB for us (Wentz compared to Foles) is playing this time. Just keep the game plan simple and see what from the SB worked then works still and change what doesn't. Don't try to outsmart yourself because thats what NE gets teams to do.I feel we have a great chance against NE provided Doug commits to the run game. Our line could smash this “historic” defense. Stanley is proving to be much better than anticipated in run blocking (and I’m happy to eat crow on that point). Howard should be a focal point and ya know what? You see how well Lamar did last night? Our #11 is no slouch as an athlete either. If ever the team was gonna take the reigns off Wentz maybe having designed runs and more running opportunities—this would be it.
Our medical staff spent too much time with the 76ers Med people the last few yrs it looks like. Both Med staffs are highly questionable and we've also had 2 former players including Jordan Mathews go after the staffYa, some heads in the medical department need to roll here. Have that surgery week 2!
AB: He needs to be in a psychological ward not playing football. Jesus people come on. Just stop enabling this guy. He has terrible reaction to his post concussionsYour GM passed up on Josh Gordon and put all his eggs into DJax. COME ON! As a Wentz owner I am furious at your franchise. WTF???

This is one of those over exaggerated things. Medical staff will give you options like any other doctor. I’m sure surgery was definitely offered as an option but you can’t make the player do it if they chose to rehab it.Our medical staff spent too much time with the 76ers Med people the last few yrs it looks like.

I'd rather have a Safety in there besides Dillard or DB and had Samuel as well.Just imagine if our draft was Dillard, Sanders and either Metcalf or McLaurin. MFer
Depends. Players say they are fine all the time but aren't. Just look at the concussions. Players can blame coaches and orgs all they want but a lot of those guys themselves choose to play knowing they probably shouldn't have.This is one of those over exaggerated things.

Panthers got him and we were ahead of them on the WW too.I'd like to see them bring in Moncrief too.
I agree 100%. That’s why historic is in quotes. SarcasmI'm not big on calling them that. NE had one of the easiest schedules to start the season.

True. Bears offense definitely sucks right now, but our defense played great overall.I do think we need to relax a bit. The win yesterday was pretty damn impressive. That was a top 5 defense that we moved up and down the field on methodically. We shortened the game. We minimized the chances the opposing team could exploit our weakness on defense and played from ahead the whole game. It was close but they got 2 big strikes on us and we still won by 8.
No turnovers. 40 minutes of possession. And there's still room for improvement. Glass half full here. We have a formula on how to win.
It was definitely an odd game for sure. They cane out exactly how I wanted but faltered late and looked like they did in past weeks.I do think we need to relax a bit.

We have like the 3rd highest paid WR unit and spent a 2 on a WR. You have to completely understand why they didn’t.Still dont get the lack of moves before the deadline though. To totally ignore wr
Guy was in on 3 plays. Had 3 tackles and 1/2 sack. Need to play him a lot more.We have like the 3rd highest paid WR unit and spent a 2 on a WR. You have to completely understand why they didn’t.
I agree about the defense though but they did get Avery and I want to see more of him. He can move.
I say promote Ward and sign JMatt.So now that the DeSean let down is final when he hits IR is Greg Ward the replacement? Any serviceable options out there at all? It’s not like it has to be a stud to make an impact on this roster.
Yeah protect the football and get a running game going. Seems like exactly what we've said here for weeks on timeI do think we need to relax a bit. The win yesterday was pretty damn impressive.
