they went to him late in the game today. I have to believe fans are calling for the switch. Foles is putrid. 45% completion percentage?? Matt Cassell laughs at him.It's clear Foles isn't an NFL caliber starting quarterback. When does St. Louis go to Keenum? Gotta think with their D, and Gurley, that Keenum could win them a few games.
You watched them over the Eagles?Drops and penalties
Had to be the worst game I've ever watched

product of the system, fluky year, etc. He is far from the QB he was in 2013. Happy to have gotten rid of him more and more by the week. Drops and penalties don't account for 1 game in 9 weeks over 200 yards passing. He's really bad.How did 2013 happen?
Yeah, that is hard to comprehend. I mean yeah it was the system but still 27 TDs and 2 Ints - that's pretty ridiculous.How did 2013 happen?
Especially when no one else has come even close to looking that good in the system.Yeah, that is hard to comprehend. I mean yeah it was the system but still 27 TDs and 2 Ints - that's pretty ridiculous.How did 2013 happen?
Including him. And now he's the worst QB in the league and getting benched for Case Keenum. There's an old term for guys like Foles. Flash in the pan. I highly highly doubt he's a starter anywhere next year.Especially when no one else has come even close to looking that good in the system.Yeah, that is hard to comprehend.

You're more happy about that than Bradford being barely mediocre.Including him. And now he's the worst QB in the league and getting benched for Case Keenum. There's an old term for guys like Foles.

I never disliked Foles. And I still don't. But there are such miserable Eagles fans who seem to be bigger fans of ex-Eagles than current Eagles, it's nice to show them how horribly wrong they were.You're more happy about that than Bradford being barely mediocre.Including him.

It's one of those great flukes of sports.Yeah, that is hard to comprehend. I mean yeah it was the system but still 27 TDs and 2 Ints - that's pretty ridiculous.How did 2013 happen?
I recall a horrible throw that was a sure interception bouncing off the defender's shoulder pad and into a streaking Desean Jackson's arms for a touchdown. He was certainly fortunate on a lot of throws that year. It's still incomprehensible how that 2013 Foles so quickly turned into 2014 and 2015 Foles. The only sports bleep that I can think of that was as crazy was Brady Anderson's 51 home run season. But that was from steroids.It's one of those great flukes of sports.Yeah, that is hard to comprehend. I mean yeah it was the system but still 27 TDs and 2 Ints - that's pretty ridiculous.How did 2013 happen?
That season, he threw a ton of wobbly deep balls that should have been picked off or batted down but were caught, usually by Riley Cooper. You knew he wasn't gonna be that consistently lucky again. But nor could you have expected he'd look as inept as this.
Back when fellow FBGer wcdrob was running his blog, he did an analysis of Foles' 2013. He concluded that Foles faced not only the easiest slate of pass defenses that season, but the easiest slate any NFL QB had faced in something like the past 25 years.Yeah, that is hard to comprehend. I mean yeah it was the system but still 27 TDs and 2 Ints - that's pretty ridiculous.How did 2013 happen?
I've been screaming for Sanchez? Yea point to that please because of like to see when someone hacked my account. I've never said put Sanchez in because he's better. I may have said Bradford is awful Sanchez can't be much worse. Glad again that's a consolation to you to know that the backup to our mediocre QB is also mediocre to terrible. We have an awesome GM.I never disliked Foles. And I still don't. But there are such miserable Eagles fans who seem to be bigger fans of ex-Eagles than current Eagles, it's nice to show them how horribly wrong they were.By the way, Insein, you've been screaming for Sanchez and telling everyone what an improvement he'd be over Bradford, but I didn't notice any commentary about the pick he threw in the end zone to cost the Eagles the game. Funny how you're so much more forgiving of him than you are of Bradford. LMAOYou're more happy about that than Bradford being barely mediocre.Including him.

I'll take Sanchez over most of the league's backups. I think he's serviceable. But I heard an awful lot of people whining that the Birds should switch to Sanchez.

Then I guess I'll add reading comprehension to your list of qualifications that make you the stud fan you are.I'll take Sanchez over most of the league's backups. I think he's serviceable.

This is a way to put the talk to rest so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little happy about it.Guess that turned your week around.
Still bummed the Eagles lost, but happy that you and ShaHBucks have gotten an education about how good your hero really is.Guess that turned your week around.
Rams gave Foles a contract....they lost.Is it possible that both the Eagles & Rams lost the trade?
Disagree, lots of competent QBs could.Foles appears to stink but I'm not sure anyone can succeed in this offense.
And you and Shah were more happy about Bradford struggling then him playing well. At least near the end you came around and started to maybe admit he wasn't as bad as you exaggerated and whined about early in the season. I just don't get how if you were right about Bradford/Foles and Foles plays well and Bradford sucks, you lay it on hard about how right you were and cause a big fuss. But other way around, and you guys just want silence, or can't admit you're wrong. There's a special kind of fan that acts like that, so if you're wanting to praise Foles for his good games, at least admit you were wrong by defending him.... why can't you do that?I've been screaming for Sanchez? Yea point to that please because of like to see when someone hacked my account. I've never said put Sanchez in because he's better. I may have said Bradford is awful Sanchez can't be much worse.

Just want consistency from fans if you're going to be critical. I cheer for the Eagles, I cheer for Chip, and I wanted Bradford to outperform Foles this year. But if Foles looked way better then Sam for the full season, I would be able to objectively say "I was wrong, Foles looked better then Sam". I believe good fans can admit they're wrong about their criticism, and don't always give themselves 'outs".Guess that turned your week around.
The Eagles gave the Rams a 2nd round pick for the right to have Bradford. We lost too.Rams gave Foles a contract....they lost.Is it possible that both the Eagles & Rams lost the trade?
Yes Foles is playing awful. But I was not happy when Bradford looked and looks bad. I'm angry.And you and Shah were more happy about Bradford struggling then him playing well.

There's a special kind of fan that acts like that, so if you're wanting to praise Foles for his good games, at least admit you were wrong by defending him.... why can't you do that?However, I will contend that you were actually one of the ones who DIDN'T want Sanchez in.I've been screaming for Sanchez?

They may have both won the trade. The Rams/Bradford era was clearly over and they needed to move on. He didn't want to be there, and nobody wanted him there. He was stuck in a rut in that offense and that city and needed a fresh start. The Rams may have not gotten a QB in return that they can use, but they'd be no better off not having Bradford. They picked up an extra 2nd rounder in the process too.Is it possible that both the Eagles & Rams lost the trade?
That's some mighty fine lipstick you put on that pig.They may have both won the trade. The Rams/Bradford era was clearly over and they needed to move on.

Philly lost that 2nd rounder, but they did something that is often needed in sports to win a title... they took a big risk. They still look like they came out ahead purely on the QB for QB comparison, and they now have a QB who LIKELY isn't the future, instead of a QB that CLEARLY isn't the future. I don't like losing the 2nd, but they took the risk and they escaped Foles being their QB.
Rams gave Foles a contract....they lost.Is it possible that both the Eagles & Rams lost the trade?
A strange game. The only winning move is ... not to play.The Eagles gave the Rams a 2nd round pick for the right to have Bradford. We lost too.
The Eagles are really doing great without him, there's that angle too.This is a way to put the talk to rest so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little happy about it.Guess that turned your week around.
You should be happy, looks like he will be available on waivers soon.The Eagles are really doing great without him, there's that angle too.This is a way to put the talk to rest so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little happy about it.Guess that turned your week around.

That, or they are legit and helped mask his deficiencies, and make him look considerably better than he is.That makes Chip Kelly's system a fluke too.. along with the Oline, Desean, Shady ect...
ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirms Nick Foles is expected to start Sunday.
Case Keenum practiced on a limited basis, but isn’t going to be cleared from the concussion protocol. The Rams will turn back to Foles one week after benching him. Foles is averaging 186 YPG with a 7:6 TD/INT ratio in nine starts. The Bengals defense is a top-12 option this week.

And after a quick comeback, he is once again benched.... for the 3rd qb.And the 9 game Nick Foles Era comes to a screeching hault in St Louis.
Oh don't doubt him. He'll come up with an excuse or change the subject before admitting being wrong.It's probably over Shah........
