He's turrible Boston Scott was playing well when he had his chances as well. Swift, Penny, Gainwell, Scott is serviceable. I think upgrade to slot CB or pass rush would be more valuable to this team. Can never have too many pass rushers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're 8 games into the season and he has shown absolutely nothing I don't understand why they stick with him...

I'm loving watching the 9ers struggle... I never used to mind San Fran but after the NFCCG all the whining? I've never seen a team cry so much... But we didn't have social media back in the day so maybe there were bigger cry babies but damn San Fran take the L professionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainwell doesn't deserve carries True but is it more pressing of a need than CB, pass rusher, or even LB. It’s impossible to address all needs at the deadline so if you had to choose one position to bolster what would you choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree for sure but I think it would be easier to get a running back than a cb... You would probably have to find a trade partner that has a long shot at playoffs and even at that most teams wouldn't want to give up a decent cb and if they are willing it's probably because they are getting a decent return... A better complimentary rb would be impactful if they are producing and keeping drives alive... Gainwell is a drive killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 The issue with the 49ers is Purdy. He thinks he is Mahomes or something. Not being smart because he has the best running back in the game right next to him and won’t throw him the ball. You would think Shanahan would straighten him out.

I think the more we could improve the defense, the better off we will be. The RB situation could be solved simply by giving Penny and Scott more opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaBeach_Eagle Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 This game brings our all time record vs. the Redskins/Commies to 89-85-5 in the Redskins/Commies favor. All we have to do is sweep them for 2 more years and then win the next one in year 3 and we take the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It puts Hurts game into perspective vs the Jets I think if Burrow stays healthy the Bengals are the best team in the AFC. 5 hours ago, Rey said: I think AJ Brown needs to start getting serious consideration for MVP ... what a monster! Offensive player of the year is between him and Tyreek Hill right now. Both have had insane seasons so far.

ThinkGreen Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 When I finally had a chance to tune in on FM, I hear, they should be tied but are trailing by 7 (!). Fumble & turnover during the brotherly shove. Then the fireworks started. Watched the last few minutes. Great fake on the last sneak formation.

EaglesAddict Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 The Eagles have to be the biggest "mixed bag" 7-1 team I've seen. There are awesome plays, Hurts can throw dimes and AJ is just tearing it up. Swift looks good when they stick with him. The defense can look disruptive, stonewall the run and can get good pressure. But then there are the turnovers, questionable play calls and pass defense getting shredded by the likes of Sam Howell. There's been luck in officiating that has favored the Eagles and dropped passes by opposing receivers in big spots. We have now reached "the Gauntlet" part of the schedule. The next 6 games are THE REAL TEST (this time, that statement is actually true, though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 15 hours ago, NOTW said: 2 starting DTs out, Blankenship banged up, Byard thrown in there with no practice, barely got handed a playbook then on the road for an away game. They have no slot corner (Maddox, Roby out). Sydney Brown banged up coming off injury and still only a rookie. They need the bye. All that may be the case but here’s the thing… Washington showed how to beat us. Quick passes and slants will negate the pass rush and go after our LBs and secondary which just isn’t very good.
