Still counts the same. There are no asterisks. Remember when we played the 9ers and they had no QB? Did anyone care?

Not that we have to care...but if you constantly beat me when I don't have my team, then it would mean more. At what point did yiu think we would win any of those 4 games we lost to Tampa recently? We were way out classed. The one time we came with a decent team we dominated them. Does it matter record wise...nope...does it matter mentally...yep. It's nothing like how we keep beating the Rams when they hsve everyone. AJ himself hasn't even lost to Tampa ..why would he think it's a huge hump to get over??

LMAO just saying it can't be one way and not the other. So we had guys out and they won just like we beat SF with no QB. It's like drag racing, "you run what ya brung". The NFL doesn't care, you put forth the best team you can and you win or lose

I detest the kickoff. Put the ball on the 20 and play ball.

Oh I used to enjoy the return game. Who was that little dude the Bears used to have? He was electric

Kyler Murray sucks. How did he ever beat the Eagles?

Horrible and they signed him through 2028.

Compared to other games it counts 50% more than a Cowboys game or a Commanders game or a Giants game.

So 1 W is worth more than another?

SO you are going to feel extra great if we beat TB without their top 2 WR's?(like the way we lost when we didn't have ours?) It would mean more to me if I "beat the best you got". The W is the W. if you want to feel good mentally, you need to beat the best they got

It's simple... forget us as fans ..we mean nothing. The players matter. Which players do you really think that they think so much about Tampa? AJ didn't lose.. DeJean didn't play... I don't think any of the Eagles players think " Tampa has our number, or that we have to prove anything" I just think they want to win and go 4-0. They are in the now... not last year or any other time.

Like I said... psychologically it's different if I feel you beat me when im at full strength ... over and over and over again...( see Rams) but much different if i don't feel i ever had a real chance because I was no where close to full strength or had a good enough roster in the first place.

If I'm Hurts...knowing that I had AJ and I dominated Tampa....but lost a bunch of times with Quez Watkins and Johnny Wilson starting.. I'm not feeling so defeated or having to prove anything. I just want to win and stay ahead in the playoffs race.

Yes, in the standings a head to head win is worth 1 plus the tiebreaker (arbitrarily call that .5 win).

31 - 17 Eagles. Smith with the big game due to AJ getting the attention.

I missed this in the Update above. It will show up in the next Update

I never said Tampa had our number LOL. You got that someplace else. All I said was I would rather beat their best vs our best. I would get no satisfaction beating a 1 legged guy in an arse kickin contest even though I still got the trophy. I'm hoping they are at 100% and so are we. Doesn't look like that is the case. I doubt they risk Evans. They need to have him around to with their division so I don't see them rushing him back and this is Godwins first game since last year. Believe they will have Godwin, Sheppard and Egbuka

aW is W is a W. Obviously to win the division you need more W's than the others. That doesn't make their W's are worth any less

Well you have to care,if you lose you don't go 4-0

Once again it would be helpful if Evans or Godwin are out or even if they are not 100%. So far I believe Godwin will play. Evans is their star and he isn't looking good to play, but still early. Egbuka is breaking out, he will be hard to handle. Mayfield can run although he doesn't like to, so setting the edge and getting pressure on him will be a big deal for us. If we can get them in 3rd and longs we can blitz sometimes,but they have 2 capable RB's. It's going to be a trench war chess match we need to win

You almost got there at the end of your statement. We have to prove we can stop their rushing attack. That’s where they will try and gash us.

I doubt they will risk Evans for this game. Godwin was a FP but this will be his first game appearance in a year. Egbuka will be the go to guy,we need to stop him

The young new WR looks to be their future. Don’t underestimate him. He’ll be the Bucs WR threat for many years to come.

Yeah...as soon as Pryor was taken out and the offense could actually function.

What you missed because you blindly pointed at big picture scoring stats and those things is…..our O was not being given adequate competent levels to be executed. Hurts just bailing our O out playmaking in long difficult unfavorable situations isn’t an actual plan or scheme.

I disagree. Tampa is irrelevant. They beat us with half our offense missing last year. In 2023 we wouldn't have beaten a college team in the playoffs. The one game with AJ we won. Context matters. The one fair fight we won. The rest of the time we didn't have any weapons.

Context as in we couldn’t beat a college team with the predictable so low level O being run from Siri. Feeling like we are in danger of being in that position again here without any quality O mind.

I will be looking at their run game. We need to stop that.

Absolutely, think we are vulnerable there also. We’ll face that test to find out.

Dude, we have to stop their run game. All yiu do is mention receivers...why? Is the weather a factor for our pass coverage ... or does it fatigue our defense stopping the run?

We need to contain Irving, White etc....so that our defense doesn't get gassed and keep the game from snowballing on us like last year and the Arizona game at the end of 2023. Im not really worried about Chris Godwin catching 4 or 7 passes... that won't beat us. Irving rushes for 100 and White adds another 50... with the field being 120 degrees like it was last week.. that's a concern. Not Godwin

Probably context meaning the physical condition of our team at the end of 2023. You seem to always skip that in your life long pursuit of trying to make a case against Siri. You wanted to lose last year so we could fire him...because you don't like Italian people.
