We were looking into Parsons…should answer plenty there

We weren’t seriously looking into Parsons. Parsons seriously wanted us, and Howie respected that and gave Jerry a call. When Jerry said no bleeping way Howie was able to get back to Micah and say I tried but Jerry refused. That is good business protocol on Howie’s part.

I respectfully disagree … unless the Commissioner puts his thumb on the scale and suspends Carter.

He did not and at the time this was an unknown

Special talent getting run down from behind by Baun, who was so confident he qas going to catch him that he tried to punch the ball out first.

Here’s a visual to go with your description

So now RB is mucked up with Shipley hurt. Not sure why we took(yet another) WR. Seems a bit strange when a RB is needed. Dillon didn't look all that great to me. Week 1 is always messy. Let's see how fast they pull this together. We are now missing the "scat back". Estemi should be coming up to the 53

Your guy MJ will probably be added to the Practice Squad

The assumption being he would have been,then "Spitgate" came out when it was discovered Dak actually initiated the conflict

Best defensive play of the game... was Dak tackling Q.

Love the kid, but IDK what they do right now. He can't fill the BVS role

Baun was amazing, I watched him drop back 20+ yards in coverage many times. dude is QUICK

Ham doesn't understand a big part of the " business " is keeping relationships with the agents.

SMH over the last WR pick up. Must have a reason I'm not seeing

Very cheap known proven starting CB at two years up to 15 mil. Yeah…money well spent. Not like massive thirty mil per player money. Otherwise make trades and bring in a proven not quality enough vet….while creating an obvious target weakness.

Backup quality CB. Not starter quality. He was/is excellent in his positioning, but has poor/very poor ball skills. He rarely turned to look for/locate the ball, and as a result receivers with good ball skills would successfully make the catch despite The good defensive positioning.

He was what he was. The videotape doesn’t lie.

I’d assume they just bring in a FB. It’s long term situation with BVS injury.

They possibly could be grooming Willie Lampkin for that role long term. He has to rehabilitate his injury first though.

Watched some college ball. IDK why they even schedule these mismatch games. I understand it's exposure with some loot attached to it,but as a fan do these really need televised? OSU vs Grambling? Really? Nothing against Brambling,but play vs a team with similar chances. Nice tune ups for the big players,but really not fun to watch

I read he is starting(for got were he went)

I'm sure Patullo had a few plays lined up for BVS, so that was an unwelcome shift in the game plan

It's week 1,with the 1's not the 2.s and 3's now. Takes a little time to see things gel now that you know who is on the team and who isn't. You expect a spit polished O game plan week 1?? HAHAHAHAHAHA. IDK how you allow your #1 WR to get 8 yards. Hurts needs to find these guys

He found DG rather consistently. The swing pass to Shipley was solid play calling and execution. As was the deep pass to Dotson. The Cowboys cornerbacks did an excellent job covering AJ and Devonta. They came to play.

Maybe Granson in a FB/TE2 role. Seems capable enough

From what I read the consensus is Ship won't be out long,so IDK if we bother bringing in another RB as long as we have Estime

Looked really bad to me. Like they had a great plan on predicting our O fairly consistently. Terrible O gameplan and adjustments. What I saw was pretty much the Hurts just street ball make it happen in unfavorable situations. Unsustainable! Need some kind of actual O plan this season…or things aren’t going very far.

Really bad is an overstatement, but it definitely didn’t look as good as what Patullo called in the first two Preseason games.

Part of the problem was that the long lightning delay really affected the Offensive Line, as well as giving the Cowboys’ D-Line plenty of rest. As a result the typical "wear down” that we saw over and over again in 2024 4th Quarters wasn’t there. The delay clearly helped both Defenses.

Looked like Eberflus predicting very well what our O was going to look like.

See my comment above.

These guys on O have been together. Gel? This isn’t a new O. That’s actually looking like the problem…it’s regurgitated very predictable.

You ignore the impact of the lightning delay. That is foolish.

Game shocker-S FL beating the Gators 18-16. game winning kick by Gramatica. Should recognize that name lol

Seemed like a very wide opinion amongst many Eagles fans. Pretty easy call ..I thought.

Pretty easy if you ignore his subpar ball skills. He was a good coverage CB, but deficient in achieving PBUs.

"The Eagles have rushed for 145 yards before the game entered a weather delay. The delay can offer Shipley time to return, but they might not need to rush him back. With Hurts and Barkley leading the two-headed rushing attack, Shipley offered an important third dimension to the Eagles’ attack." With a 10 day off span he should be fine to suit up for KC

You demanded perfection in the newly created O from Moore week one last season. Yet not doing the regurgitated O from last year now. No consistentcy.

No, no one did in Week One. And the changes made after Week Four weren’t because of the fans. They were initiated by the O-Line, led by Lsne Johnson, then presented to Stoutland, who signed on, and then presented to Moore, who agreed to them and gave the go ahead to implement them.
