If the Eagles fix their problems (OL, DB), don't matter who we play or where we play. Eagles travel just fine (and their fans are everywhere!).

We're the KC of the NFC, no one wants to play us, even at home.

I’ll disagree with this. Niners most definitely want to play us. They have talked about it since losing the nfc title game and using every excuse in the book as to why they lost. Frankly i think they want to play the eagles over anyone else just to try and prove a point. Will they win? Who knows but I’m guessing we get their best shot.

Agreed.  Eagles won the Super Bowl because they played the Falcons and Vikings at the Linc.  I feel much more confident beating SF and DAL in the playoffs at home than I would if the Eagles have to travel to San Fran or Dallas.  The Eagles CAN win anywhere, but the odds are much better as the home team.

 Last Sunday's game notwithstanding, I feel like the Eagles defense usually plays much better at home.  Might just be my perception, but that's my gut. 

Barnett released

End of an era.  Super Bowl Hero.  Leonard signing soon to be announced I would assume.  

 

 

 

Thanks for LII, Derek. 

Are there any decent DE options out there? Barnett sucked but he was depth that we don’t have anymore.

The greatest fumble recovery in franchise history.

Dallas definitively plays better at home. I believe they’ve won 13 consecutive games in Dallas and the splits bare it out that they are a better team at home. Much rather have them in Philly with the elements in January then in Dallas. 

as for SF, we can say the eagles are better because we are 9-1 and they are 8-3 but i tend to think these two teams are pretty close. When everyone is healthy for the niners they roster is stacked and can compete with us. The last 3 weeks I’d argue the niners are peaking and playing their best football of the season. They’ve won by 31, 13 and 18 points against 2 teams that are right now over .500 and in the playoffs. If I have to face a team that I feel is close to my equal, I don’t wanna have to fly all the way across the country to play in San Francisco. I want to play that game in Philadelphia where they have to come to Philly, have to deal with the crowd that they were already ****ing about after they lost to us. 

 Watch him go to San Fran

I wonder if they bring Suh back and have him play some DT and DE 

Couldn't justify keeping him. He didn't produce and was a major risk of a dumb penalty on every play.

Melvin Ingram and Carlos Dunlap are out there. Or nutjob Chandler Jones. That's about it. Maybe the Eagles sign Leonard for that roster spot.

Eh. In our hybrid 4-3/3-4 it’s not that big of a deal.

There was JPP before the Ravens signed him to their practice squad.  Now no one but Robert Quinn at this point.  

Rumblings that AJ Brown might be out this Sunday with a thigh injury.

Where did you hear that?

 

Open roster spot could be for Quez Watkins too

Option 3, one game at a time, win out.  No reason to get close to giving up the pole position.

I like this idea. :) Could probably sit the banged up guys in the last giants game if they go this route

Not good 

Praying that this Barnett release is to make room for Shaq Leonard.

I hadn't noticed this before:  the NFL schedulers in addition to our tough schedule and "the gauntlet" also gave us 3 playoff teams playing us right after their bye or extended rest.  Chiefs (bye), 49ers and Cowboys extra 3 days rest after Thursday night games.  People can't use weak schedule excuses this year.

Cowboys beat a team that sucks enough to trade away their two best players on defense and people are talking about losing the division or the $1 seed?? I sleep in one day and people try to take my job.

Dont see it posted anywhere and he was LP in practice not DNP, that alone leads me to believe this is just a rumor a paranoid Eagles fan started that got out of hand, don't believe anything not posted by a credible source, its all heresay otherwise

49ers and Cowboys are 3 extra days rest, not a bye
