Goes much further than Howie.   Hams favorite coach Andy Reid...  "Dream Team"  spending money galore everywhere...back up CB... Ronnie Brown,  Steve Smith, Vince Young...4 DEs...consecutive draft picks on the interior of the DL for 4 years in a row.. 

Yet neglect the interior of the defense.  2 rookie S....and rookie Casey Matthews at LB next to a bunch of other ham and egg LBs. 

This is what you all seem to miss...this is the organizational philosophy Lurie has from Banner/ Reid.   He has Howie here to carry this out.

If it was OK " we have a defense built to play with a lead" ...that stupidity spewed back in 2011....then why different now?

We aren't getting Queen...BG you are 100% correct on saying spending would be " overcorrection" for the Lurie Eagles...

What we hope for...is they hit on the low investment LBs.    Ham doesn't like it....then blame Lurie's #1 football man.... Andy Reid.  That's absolutely the guy whose philosophy Lurie follows there.

Andy Reid went to KC and has drafted RBs and S. Took my stud LB I was high on Bolton even. Remember him?

Niners told Purdy they were trying to get Brady this season

Desai was officially fired 

Good for him. Now he can move forward finding his next job.

We sure didn’t help Desai’s career

Who made the pro bowl at QB for the NFC?    

Watching this game, just seems night and day comparing QBs between the conferences.

Brock Purdy and Dak Prescott. The two teams that had more Pro Bowlers than we did

Yeah it was a response to the article more than being anything I thought you believed.

I know. I felt the same as you. The only connection for Cooter to the Birds I could come up with was Cooter's relation to Steichen. Which doesn't hold much weight.

Only 2 QBs from NFC?   I thought it was 3 from each?

So Dallas and SF had more pro bowlers on offense than the Eagles... I'll have to look

Bolton drafted 58... late round two... that's absolutely the range that Banner, Reid, Lurie, Howie would start looking at LB.

Haven’t drafted a LB that high since Kendricks

Pro bowl for Eagles offense...

Lane, Dickerson,  Kelce, Swift and AJ

For SF offense ...

Williams, Kittles, CMC..... their QB

For Dallas offense...

Lamb, Martin ... their QB

Dak and Purdy both make pro bowl....combined they have the same amount as the Eagles... who didn't have a pro bowl QB.

Forget about the 2 alternates... and then Smith and Goedert.

Pro Bowl isn’t a great standard to make a point from. Dickerson didn’t have a very good season even. AJ had his best season. Smitty had his best season. Swift had his best season. The biggest positives came out of this season. I give tons of credit to Shannahan for being an offensive mastermind. Even gotta give McCarthy tons of credit on his best regular season coaching. Dak and Lamb were great this regular season. Our coaching was terrible. So it’s pretty cool we still had guys grab honors over coming the bad scheme and playcalling.

So pick 58 vs 80 or whatever is going to make you happy?

I’ll take Queen and pick 58 at LB. 

Just now, joemas6 said:

Out coaching was good enough for 7 offensive players to be pro bowl or alternate...    plus Smith and Goedert...  should have been easy for Hurts to beat out Stafford. 

We had talent. Didn’t have coaching

Tell Lurie to sell the team....only way you get Queen..  that's if he leaves Baltimore

I agree ...we had 7 pro Bowlers plus Smith and Goedert...   plenty of talent.

Stafford had Kupp and Puka. Not sure why you see Stafford as anything less than a top QB?

Imagine that talent having not so predictable playcalling.

Should have made the O coaching so much easier. How bad a job the coaching staff did. Ranked top ten. Yet that was very disappointing.

As obnoxious as you have been the last two years....and for the first few years of Lane's career with Ziggy and the roads etc.

When Hurts falls on his face...which he is going to do looking at his limited skills outside of running... you will absolutely get the obnoxious treatment back.   I'm patient... I can wait a a couple years.

Kupp was nowhere near himself...missed a huge chunk with the injury. 

How many games did AJ or Smith miss in comparison.  No QB had anywhere near what Hurts had...not even close when looking at OL and weapons.

Three Oline and RB made the Pro Bowl…yet couldn’t run the ball to save our lives at the end. How’s that possible?

Hurts set the franchise record for TDs. Most anybody ever has in our uniform.

Hard to see improvement on the horizon keeping Siri and Rosie. Feels like we’ll still be on the downhill trajectory to me.

AJ and Smitty had their best seasons. Somebody was throwing them the ball.

Teams knew our QB couldn't pass...they stuffed the box.

You didn’t watch a single game did you? They did exactly the opposite. Defenses flooded coverage this season against us. Where did you come up with that idea? 

Then at the end they blitzed
