Yup. I am asking for pro bowlers behind pro bowlers. But really Watkins, Oz, julio, Calcaterra and Stoll aren’t nearly good enough to be a serviceable 3rd option if goedert, smith or brown get hurt. It’s an issue. They need to draft and develop some guys or hit on some FA that want to win a ring and would come for less and still have some juice left. 

What team has that though? We basically have 2 1s at receiver and a top 5 TE, that's way better depth as receiving options than 90% of other teams already.

At the same time, the narrative about this team is going to change quick if they drop to the 5th seed with a loss on Sunday. People have been hiding behind being the 1 seed when the flaws have been evident for weeks. That's gone if they fall from the 1 spot. And rightly or wrongly, it's going to be panic city with the fan base if the Eagles get clobbered Sunday.

I still think they end up with the 1 seed if they win out even if they lose Sunday though.

And I think they will probably lose Sunday, but it would be one of those pleasant surprises if they came out and won, which I'm not ruling out because this group is different from other years. They can't get blown out though. I won't be livid if they drop a close one, but if it's ugly then they should be embarrassed.

BG implied that they knew the issues were there, but with such a good record, there perhaps wasn't the energy/desire to fix them. I bet they are now energised to do that.

Yup

 

Encouraging signs this week for the Eagles optimist. Goedert back, favorable officiating crew, LB help on the way, better matchup. Gotta think they're as motivated as can be for a regular season game.

Still, I don't feel good about this at all.

Hmmmm, ok

This is one of the weirder, cartoonish takes that I've seen in a while and he just continues to double down on factually, incorrect statements. Does he think people don't watch the games? "Historic run game"? Swift had 56 and 57 yards rushing in both games. People like this shouldn't be allowed to have a platform if they're not going to speak intellectually or factually correct. It's a disservice to people in the industry who actually know their stuff and are trying to get on-camera jobs.

And just like that Bo wolf is a Patriots fan. Did you hear the 10 minute eulogy he gave to Ellis on their podcast?

2 seed wouldn't be the worst thing so we don't have to face Dallas in the 2nd round.  Then hope maybe Dallas upsets the r9ers and we get a home game for nfc championship. 

 

 

 

Hope is not a good plan and definitely not a good strategy.

I guess McDermott is on the outers in Buffalo

Did anyone care about Carr's take on anything before that?  I haven't heard of anything, didn't know he was on any TV show.

Click/ratings bait.  He got the attention he was looking for.

Let's go!!!!

So last week's starters in the middle of the defense, Morrow, Elliss, and Roby, were all free agents this season.

Occam's razor.

Siri was asked about Hurts missing Stoll wide open on the 1st play, and another play Albert O was open but went to AJ Brown.  Asked if he's not comfortable throwing to them or they're not part of practice.

Siri's answer:  he said he takes responsibility in coaching Hurts on what reads on each play.  He said a QB can't look at so much, it slows your processing speed, you can't look at everything.  Siri said Stoll wasn't part of that read on that play.  He says that's how he told Jalen to read it.  

Is he just covering for Hurts?  Or is it true that a lot of this is play design?  Siri defends Brian Johnson's play calling by saying they both work on the play design and game plan through the week.  Thoughts?

Video starts at his answer here:

 

If Stoll was the 4th option in the progression I completely understand why Siri would have him not worry about reading all the way to that point in the progressions. He may have had him only reading 3 options in the route combinations all game to get the ball out quicker and avoid a sack against their front. That’s all purely speculation, but definitely plausible, and I could understand the strategy especially on slower developing plays/routes.
