We are the best blitzing D in the NFL…intel for those don’t believe Fangio has that versatility to change up to what works.

NaKobe back at practice. He really has been incredibly dedicated to rehab

The Eagles aren’t exactly known for punting and attempting field goals, but their kicking game was nearly flawless over the first month of the season. Jake Elliott has his groove back from 50-plus yards, nailing three from that distance with a long of 58; he’s 4-for-4 on his kicks and 12-for-12 on extra points to start the season.

Philly’s punting game has also been pivotal, with sixth-year pro Braden Mann serving as a secret weapon in terms of flipping field position. He’s averaging 4.75 punts per game — way up from his 3.17 from 2024 — but has come through with a career-high 52.9 average and a long of 70; he’s only booted one touchback and has landed five punts inside the opponent’s 20.

Thanks to Ryan O’Leary

How about Fangio ... saying how he thinks the way they prep the kicking balls are the reason we are seeing these long FGs this year. Long punts too.

Pierre DuPont dumped tons of environmental contamination ants in the water and buried them

Pierre did that? All by his lonesome? Whose idea was it to bury those ants?

With those obvious hierarchy of decision making asked, I went to Google and queried "Pierre DuPont contaminated ants” and got nothing specific about a singular contaminated ants event, but did get this extensive article about DuPont safety incidents, in which there doesn’t appear to be any reference to contaminated ants. So, you have piqued my interest. Tell us more about the contaminated ants. Where? When?

You missed the whole story about Jalen Hurts prep for the game highlighted this play. The video and audio clearly proves Siri is just shoving the playcall down Moore’s throat not to be second guessed or questioned. You missed everything here.

Preparation for the game is irrelevant. Unless it is one of the scripted plays called at the beginning of the game NO play call is made during game preparation, certainly no play call that happens in the 2nd Half. But if there is a story that says that play was called during the prep for the game, I would love to see it. Provide us with a link to that story.

But setting aside the preparation for that play, and concentrating on the actual play call itself, tell me what you believe was the sequence of events that happened from the 2:47 timeout called by the officials up to the snap of the ball to Hurts.

Agreed. That is strategic direction and corporate culture, not operations.

"Just call it” from Siri shuts down all debate or questioning. A clear statement of call my play…right freakin’ now.

No, "just call it” is the logical response to Moore who through headset communication with Hurts is trying to decide whether to call the play or not. He isn’t 100% sure whether to do it or not, and he runs the idea (and his uncertainty) by Sirianni. Sirianni has no uncertainty and very clearly says do.

Historically bad 4-0 start

Historically great start. Perfect record … couldn’t be any better. Historically strong Strength of Schedule against opponents who are 9-2-1 in their games other than against the Eagles. That is a .792 win-loss percentage. No other 4-0 team in NFL history has faced a first four set of opponents with a better composite record.

I really believe that hit Hurts took on the long run trying to run through the Bucs defender jolted his shoulder or neck when the second defender put a knee right between the shoulder blades and impacted his throwing last week. Suspect it tightened up at half time

First time I’ve heard that explanation. In many ways it makes more sense than the alternative explanation that Hurts had a concussion that was light enough to escape detection in the NFL safety protocols.

Should be a very tough game for the offense. Denver arguably has the best defense in the league.

I will predict Eagles 17, Denver 13. A defensive score from one of the teams.

We don't throw deep anyway,so AJ and Surtain will be bored all afternoon. Smitty runs shallower routes(that I see), so I believe he will have a nice game as will Goedert. The main things we need to do is disrupt Nix. Don't have to sack him necessarily,but throw his timing off. if we can't keep him from getting hot, he could panic and set up some picks. IDK how experienced he is at silent counts. It will be loud at the Linc. That could disrupt him as well. The run stoppers need to show up. More of the same, stop the run, play seamless zones. They will of course be trying to snuff Barkley,so I would like to see some Shipley sightings this game. Now that we have shown the fake tush push , teams will have to figure out if we are running that play or faking them out, They now need to worry about the Shovel passes at the GL. I have this game alot higher than Joe. I sure understand his reasoning, but with persistent drives, this could turn into a shoot out especially if Smitty gets hot and Hurts can beat the edges. Like to get the slot guy(Dotson) involved too

*should say "if we CAN keep him from getting hot". It won't let me edit when there are vids posted

TD123 out of the hospital finally. Weak and tired. He had a rough go, and almost died from sepsis ☹️(not to be confused with SEPTA). He can't die before me. I won't allow it

He took a really hard shot no doubts.

Got him a paycheck. Howie has cycled 27 players through the 17 slot Practice Squad. He knows how to work the system … and gettin players paychecks builds loyalty.

The great O mind.....no common sense. Lose the game instead of kicking the FG....or maybe call a pass play???
