I'm really enjoying another great game here. The last drives by both teams were offensive clinics with 2 different style QB's. Allen is relentless(like Hurts was once) and Staff is just the post card for poise under pressure. Watching both QB's you can see the field vision Hurts lacks and it's VERY obvious

Hard to believe given how much money these guys make.

Joe, just before the season started, you were/seemed pretty high on the Eagles’ defense. What changed?

Seems like several people here are down on Dejean. He is asked to do a LOT on this defense. They would nkt be near as good without him. He has missed some tackles, but what CB hasn’t?

I said I was looking forward to watching the defense. That's what I wanted to see.

I was curious to see the new CB play with the other 2. We had a new expensive pass rusher ( who we didn't get to really see yet) I was curious to see how the young players....Makuba and Campbell were going to develop.

Nothing has changed really... I still want to see the defense.

I think DeJean has tackled pretty well.

When did I say that????? I was paraphrasing the new poster. Jebus

Right....so I was asking... this sandbag idea... I don't think the players will cooperate. That's why I asked how he would propose to do it.

Not everything is about you...calm down sparky... lol. He can attempt to answer my question.

You mean QB play.

Also astute route running by WR's and TE's. RB's running with authority and knowing when the holes would open due to nice O lines. QB's involving all the players on the offense. Not being predictable(aka play calling). Accurate passes short or deep and trusting your receivers. Going to be interesting to see if MHJ makes a splash in Houston opposite Nico

It's amazing... change of system and play caller for 4 years, still we don't see that type of play here? Wonder what has been the constant on the field?

With Shipley out we are down to what RB4 in Pierce? Any word on Saquon return?

Guessing Blue will get called up this week as well if Barkley is a no go again.

Who would have thought we would be playing RBs 4, 5 and 6 this season to go along with essentially an entire backup OL

Last I heard Bark was day to day. Could play or not. I hope we don't rush him back and lose him for the year. Just get this team back to healthy. The injuries are unreal. I hope we get Darius more involved, he is our best WR right now and he needs to get the ball. I hope the bonehead coaching decisions get fixed. So sad to bust arse and lose because of stupidity. Maybe we see Ertz getting back to producing some. We're going to need everyone we can get vs the Panthers

We have 4 games until our bye week do we just try and make it to the bye week with what we got and hope we can split 2-2.

After the panthers it’s 3 straight division games not sure we can recover going 0-3 against the division need at-least 1 of those games ideally 2

After the bye hopefully then we should get a healthy Saquon, Smitty, and Dickerson(maybe) back

Meh-picked Jackson back up at RB. Nothing to get excited about

Curious now with Kendall dealing with the knee injury not sure if/when he is set to return to play could we look to bring Dickerson back as the C?

Could move Lampkin over to C but if he has 2-3 weeks starting at LG would we really want to switch him then

I recorded it when it was on about a year ago.

At least our BU's are getting experienced playing time. I was once interested in glass blowing, so I went to an expert to watch. I asked him what the most valuable lesson he learned was. He said "Don't inhale" LMAO. Yeah, I suspect you only do that once and never again. So they are taking some licks but learning things they won't do again

I loved that entire post season run. When Wentz went down, everyone thought we were done. After win 1 it was "luck and they are done" And we just kept winning as underdogs. I still have the Kelce Dog mask from then. That was the best SB I have seen in my lifetime. Made even better because my daughter(Pats Fan flew in from NC, I lived in FL) to watch. Easily 600 people there. Such a great memory

It felt like a fairy tale

LET'S GO!

Time to end this 3 game skid mark

With all the injuries to our Rb room do we look to bring Gains back from the Bucs? Likely be had for a late round draft pick knows the system the players and reliable blocker, pass catcher, underrated runner.

Might not make a huge difference who is at RB if the OL not blocking well though

Rumors mill making no sense…saying we could have Dickerson on the trade block ok makes sense… but then other reports saying Howie is looking to trade for OL help…. These two moves just seems to contradict each other
