One More Week.  LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!.  I'm excited and nervous.  This is the strangest season ever with no fans or tailgating.  Not to mentioned a health crisis looming in the background.  Well it's our 88th Season.   The #8 is the Eagles Lucky Number.   Let's see what happens this year.   Is Double Digit Wins too much to ask for?  There hasn't been a back to back NFC East Winner since Andy and Donovan's Eagles (01-04).  Let's try to break the pattern this year.

16: 7-9

17: 13-3 (Champions Baby)

18: 9-7 (Playoffs)

19: 9-7 (Playoffs)

Seriously...yes.  When available (and I know that is a stretch with regards to Jones), he is a better CB than James.

I also think that this hit to his ego may provide him with a sense of urgency.

Yea. I don’t feel great about it but I probably would bring him back

If they wanted him on the 53 then WTF did they cut him

The Lions cut a 5th round pick to sign Adrian Peterson. 

Right on cue!

They got cute. Seems like Avery was an easy cut to make.

I laughed pretty hard at that one

I'm shocked it is actually going to happen. Weird as hell we haven't heard a thing about Covid in the NFL in a few weeks...almost since Stafford.

TBF it is probably the most bizarre of all the claims 

I should also say that the Eagles might like other TE options so losing Togiai might not be a huge deal and he was worth risking.

Needed to drop a guy or two until 4pm today, when they put some on IR.

Personally, I would had dropped Ford and/or Epps instead.  At least one would have still been available when they put Parks on IR.

I could be wrong, but I thought teams could put people on IR and take them off without a limit this year. Why not IR Avery for a few weeks? 

With Jones going unclaimed, Howie and Joe are both like, "Nah, that wasn’t my fault.”

They couldn't IR before today? Or kept AJ on PUP? Not a huge deal. Just seems weird to me.

There have def been players testing positive though.  Yesterday I heard on nfl Sirius that some team, Cin I think, had to cut somebody who had to go back to quarantine last week.

It gets a little trickier now.

A large number of players switching teams/locations at once this weekend.

And then teams start to travel to games.  A bunch of young guys in hotels....

No and yes

No.  To be eligible for return, they needed to be on the original 53.

Dillard and Perkins were placed on IR before the season.  They cannot return now.

They charter flights so that should help a bit. We'll see.

I believe it. Just aren't hearing much about it anymore. 

Huntley solves the kick returner problem for us too. It's not a difficult position to learn in a week. 

Who is the punt returner?

Ah, thank you. That makes sense.
