Driscoll was really good today against a good pass rush. People hate him, but the Eagles and Stoutland clearly like him and trust him.

i thought he rebounded really good because it was rough to start off the game lol

Early he wasn’t getting off the line - late he seemed to have nuanced the non-false start kick slide.

It's far from perfect, but here's a reminder to enjoy it. Seasons like this don't come along very often. We're spoiled from last year. They're 10-1. They could go back to the Super Bowl. Enjoy it.

We're all enjoying it… from our beds in the ICU.

Ah... I thought I read that he did.   Might have mixed him up with Barnett.  Did Barnett ask for his release?

I’m not sure, tbh. 

Other than Shaq Leonard, what other free agent LBs are available?

He torpedoed the first offensive play and then held up pretty well after that.

Saw Nolan Smith set the edge on a run play, more reps incoming hopfully

Leonard definitely didn’t ask for a release, he was shocked when it happened.

I barely noticed him being out there which is a massive upgrade.

No one hates him. They hate pathetic football and that's all he brought before today.

He was grade Z garbage before today. It was not personal. He did not belong on the field before today.

Good for us and good for him. We just wanted him to not be the worst player on the field and he was not today for maybe the first time in his career.

Willie T.?   He was on the team with Bernard Williams, you think Willie is available?

It’s been 20 years since having those Reid/McNabb teams go to the NFC title game every year. Having the expectation that they were going deep every year was fun despite the heartbreak in the end. The Chip years, the 2020 season, and everything else outside of 2017 should make everyone thankful for this season and last. It doesn’t come along often and when it’s gone, you yearn for them. Like you said, just enjoy the ride.

I noticed him botch one QB draw because he didn’t have the length to push the DE upfield. I thought I saw some other losses, but nothing crippling. 

This is such an amazing achievement- best in franchise history, as far as I am aware -

I want to enjoy it... but they might kill me before it ends in February.  

It'll be a battle.

I'll add this. Sometimes the team that wins the Super Bowl isn't your best team like last year's team. It's the team that isn't as good but somehow gets it done in a weird way. This team might have that magic. Knock on wood.

According to spotrac this is who’s available. It’s not pretty (pretty sure they didn’t update with Barr and van noy)

 

 

it must suck to be a Bills fan right now.

Barnett asked to be traded several months ago.  Somewhat to his credit, he did so quietly (although he hardly has the resume or credibility to do it any other way).  He was a healthy scratch 2 games ago and (IIRC) scratched for "personal reasons” 1 game ago.  

Lot’s of bad things we can say about Barnett the draft pick and Barrett’s second contract…but as low depth chart DL depth??  He was "fine.”  I think it’s safe to assume tempers and frustration were involved on both sides with that release.

Everyone and their cousin crying the refs this, rigged that on FB about the Eagles/Bills. What am I missing here? The AJ drop? Uneven penalties?

Good for us and goo for him. We just wanted him to not be the worst player on the field and he was not today for maybe the first time in his career.

Stoutland and the Eagles clearly disagree and they know him and OL play better than any of us do. He hasn't been nearly as bad as people made him out to be. He had a tough game vs the Jets, but it was a bad spot. Last year he had some trouble vs Dallas, against Micah freaking Parsons, that's not exactly the easiest assignment. He played well enough in games he's had time to prepare longer for. People made it seems like he's Winston Justice vs the Giants in every game, when he's a decent NFL backup, which is all you can ask for, really.
