To have an unasterisked record Saquon would need to average 169.5 in the remaining six games ... very doable.

It's doubtful Barkley plays the last game anyway.  And if we can't catch Detroit the last 2 might not have that much meaning.

I’d work them all out and see who is in the best shape. We just need a body to set the edge and provide a productive 20-25 snaps per game. 

If you bring one of those vets in, hopefully they only take about 5-10 snaps. I would hope Hunt can take 10 snaps a game now, and Nolan’s snap count would tick up a bit. They can also throw in Ojomo in there to eat some more.

Cool moment after the game when Hurts signed his green cleats and gave them to Alshon Jeffrey.

Love that SB LII jacket Alshon was wearing.

Yeah, loved to seeing Alshon again:  His jacket was awesome like you said. 

 

Hurts turning into a game manager the past month and a half has been one of the biggest positives for this team. Get the ball to AJ, pick some third down conversions up with your legs, hand the ball off to Saquon, and don’t make dumb turnovers. He’s done a good job of all four of those. And then you have games like Cinci where he steps it up. They won’t be able to hide his flaws forever and they’ll need him to step up again eventually, but he’s been playing smart football for the most part during this run. I think everyone in the building has come to the conclusion that this is Saquon’s offense with a good defense and they’re playing to those strengths. 

So on GMF they are talking about Dallas having some life. Seriously? When you look at the situation in the NFC North? And that Washington, Tampa and the whole of the NFC West are ahead of them? Yeah that isn’t happening. But let them hurt their draft position sure.

What time did the team get back this morning? Ravens have to make the same trip tonight so a bit of an advantage with them on a short week. 

Not even worried about ravens if we lose who cares it’s earned. Just won 7 in a row 

This offense is so unique since they can hit on big plays both in the air and on the ground. Insane how Barkley regularly hits 40+ yard runs.

My biggest concern with this team remains to be the red zone. They don’t seem to be able to throw the ball once down there.

This defense will have their hands full next week, but ultimately think they will be able to contain Lamar.

I'm tempted to say Gregory but we've never had much luck with NFC East rentals.

Plus isn’t borderline bat**** crazy?

Since the bye...

They probably aren't making the playoffs but I could see them finishing the season with 6 or 7 wins.  The Boys problem is they will be eliminated with a few more losses so their margine for error is low.   But give Dallas props, they went into Washington and pulled off the craziest 4th Qtr. of the year.   That game was a Win/Win for the Eagles.  If Cowboys lost, they would have been on a 7 game losing streak and collapsing further.   Cowboys won instead, now Washington is on a 3 game losing streak and their the ones collapsing and the Eagles have breathing room in the Division.   

Man, I'm still bummed about BG.

The bigger problem will be D. Henry. We’ve done a lot better against the run, but I don’t trust that part of the D just yet. Henry opens everything else up for the Ravens, plus the scrambling ability that Lamar has will be toughest matchup for them all year.

We had made it to Thanksgiving without losing a player for the rest of the season.  A significant injury on this team was inevitable.  Unfortunately, it was everyone's favorite player. 

Wonder if Howie pulls the trigger on Clark

Yea, I know. Just really sucks that it had to be him.

Much tighter windows to throw the ball... safeties are lined up much closer to the LOS.   It gets much much harder in the red zone.   But, if they can commit to running the ball in the RZ more with Barkley, I think the RZ offense can turn around in the playoffs.  But, they need to toss those designed QB runs into the trash can for a while.  They just aren't working.

I’ve rewatched the two Saquon runs at least a dozen times now. By the 4th quarter, Saquon and this oline has taken the other team’s energy, taken their damn dignity and pride. Saquon breezed through untouched…twice. In my opinion, he’s is the front runner for MVP and it shouldn’t be close right now. 

Yup. Its the MVP award not who's the best qb award

If it was a bicep, I'd say throw a brace on like JP did back in the day and play as you can. Once the bicep is torn, it's torn and you can still move your arm. Been there myself. From what I understand, once the tricep is torn, it's really painful to even bend your arm. Not sure even the best trainers and equipment managers can create something to make it work for him.

It is a sucky way for his career to possibly end.  I don't know if he'll be interested in coming back from this or not.   Granted, last night was as good a game as he ever had.  Dominant performance in a limited role.  That will be missed, as will his leadership and constant energy.

Sounds like BG's is fully torn. Don't recall JP ever playing with a fully torn biceps but I could be wrong.

I will be watching the Ravens game tonight as they play the Birds this up and coming Thanksgiving Weekend.  I expect them to bounce back though I will admit, the Chargers feel like they just came out of nowhere and are playing great.  The Eagles have only played the Ravens 6 times.  Ravens lead the series 3-2-1. But they always play the Ravens in Preseason (Got the W this year, lol)   The Eagles have never beat the Ravens in B-More.  They will have to pull another Cincy win and make history again on Sunday.

I could be wrong about Jason Peters, but I'm 99% certain he tore his bicep and played with a brace for a bit.

It's better when Smith, Brown. and Goedert are all healthy.  Not great but better.  Goedert was essentially an offensive lineman last night.   Don't love that.

My one and only complaint is that after our first drive the pre- snap movement basically stopped.  It really helps get mismatches and gets guys open quickly.   Gave me flashbacks to last season, except we have Barkley.
