You have to keep Baun at this point.  We needed to keep him even before the Dean injury. 

Becton is a no-brainer too - after watching what this offensive line has done all season, you keep him either at guard or you have him be the Lane replacement and you know he can kick inside if needed.  You only let Becton walk if Lane tells you he's playing for another 3, 4 seasons. 

Williams is the one they can most comfortably replace. 

I think theyll be keeping all of them. Williams should be kept likely with the plan of not extending Jordan Davis. Sweat will also be let go and theyll draft his replacement.

You showed a shot that didn't show the ball.  You can piece shots together yeah for sure but that's not what you did.  You showed one shot where you could sed the ball and was short of the line and then one shot where his head and part of his body were over the line but no evidence of where the ball was at that point in time.  You would need another shot showing the ball at the time where his body is over the line.  Do you have that other shot?  If not then it can't be overturned.

Here's an overhead shot as well. With the ball clutched to his chest that the other angle displayed

Are you ready to get off the hill?

Just now, Sack that QB said:

Kicker is a lot more interesting than the tight end.

And Howie is licking his chops to trade out of that first round pick for extra draft capital.

As he should. We're looking at the last pick in the 1st round. The only true value their pick will have is the 5th year option. If there's a QB or RB that drops or is head and shoulders above day 2 picks, there's going to be a team that wants that extra year of control.

Maybe the Titans can't pass up on Abdul Carter at 1 and there's a QB sitting there at 32. Can you get a 2 and a 4 out of them? Lots to look forward to in the upcoming months and draft season. 

I'm looking at guys like Jaxson Dart, Kyle McCord, Dillon Gabriel and Jalen Milroe as late 1st round guys. Dart is going to be a steal IMO and some team is going to fall in love with Milroe's athletic ability. 

It's a very middle round heavy draft and the Eagles are light with picks. 

Can they move Huff for pennies? Could they bring back Isaiah Rodgers and if that's the case, Kelee Ringo could have some serious trade value. One of Pickett or McKee could bring back more than we expect. Pickett is a fine bridge QB and McKee could be a starter. Jordan Davis keeps seeing his snap counts decrease. They aren't going to pay him and keep playing him 15 snaps a game. Move before he signs an extension.

I do. However, you can’t pay everybody. I’d keep baun, Williams and becton if possible. But i have what I think is a viable replacement in Tyler Steen who’s gonna be cheap for two more years and 24 and someone stoutland also loves that they drafted him in the third. And played well when asked to come in.

to me if they’re planning to move becton our to right tackle when Lane retires then it makes sense to re-sign him and eventually have steen at RG. If we could only sign 2 of 3 of baun, becton and williams then I’d go Williams and baun due to having stoutland and steen. Frankly I’d love to keep all three. But i don’t think that happens 

This should be the gameplan. I'd love to keep Isaiah Rodgers too but I don't know how feasible that is. Can we squeeze one more year out of Slay? I don't see the Eagles bringing in any outside FA this year so comp picks are back in play. A team might pay Rodgers a bigger than expected contact to be CB2. 

Mitchell is CB1 next year. Are they ready to hand the keys to Ringo for CB2? What if a team offers you a solid trade for Ringo? You still have Darius Slay under contract. You could bring Rodgers back as CB2.

Nope.  You've not shown anything yet that would warrant overturning the call given how the rule is written.  That pic looks like the same point in time as the shot from the side that shows the ball against his chest BUT short of the line.  You can use one shot to show him over the line AND one shot with him holding the ball against his chest and piece those together BUT you have to show those shots from exactly the same time.  You can't show one from 1/2 second earlier than the other one.

Having said that, I'm totally convinced he made the 1st down but that's another thing all together.

I agree with you, but the other side of the argument is Oren Burks has played at a level I didn't think he was capable of. He's a FA too, but he's dirt cheap. Howie very well could look at Burks and Trotter as the starters while Dean recovers. 

But, yea, you can't let Baun walk. I'd run it back with Burks too. Baun, Burks, Trotter are your top 3 while Dean recovers. BVS fits in somewhere and adds value to this team as a LB, FB and ST ace. You've got 4 LB there on the active roster with Dean on PUP. Draft or UDFA fills the bottom PS spot or two.

If you build a good roster worth keeping around, there's no reason to use FA every year. Signing your own guys who you know perform and fit the culture of the team is 100x better than gambling on other teams FA year in and year out.

Howie could bring all 3 back, not sign a single FA and that's still a FA win. 3 FA signed here even if they are your own guys.

They can just watch the replays from different angles and piece it all together like how they've done countless times before. I'm not able to record on the app to provide video

But enjoy your hill to die on

Yeah they can but they need to do it based on the rules in place which you are ignoring.

This one is no different than the GB fumble to start the game a couple weeks ago.  GB definitely had the ball BUT the call couldn't be overturned because the video evidence just didn't allow it.  Maybe some new video angles will come out for Allen's run.

There’s an epidemic of twitter pansies who run to social media after stuff like this. Probably because the Green Bay fan got that guy fired from his job. It’s a trend and I’d be willing to bet there’s another side of the story or it’s a flat out lie. 

It’s the media narrative…we are the ‘most obnoxious’ ‘most violent’ ‘unsafest stadium’ based off a 70 year old story about snow balls.  Philly just has one of the most passionate and educated fan bases of any major sports city…and is probably the safest of them all (minus the Jaguar type teams of the NFL with either no fans or fair weather fanbases).

Hasn't Slay already said he's leaning towards hanging them up? You have to decide if Ringo has it or not, I'd keep Rodgers around because he can cover slot and outside as well as return kicks but I don't know if he'll be thinking he could get more snaps elsewhere.

I’ve said this a couple times during the season, the guys they have spotting have been miserable all year. There’s way too many times in games where the ball is spotted like nearly half yard annd sometimes even a yard from where it’s supposed to be.

imo re-watching the Chiefs/bills game the third downplay looked like it was a hell of a lot closer to a first down than what they gave him. Frankly, I thought he actually got the first down. Here is the video but here is the photo by photo shot 

Ignore portnoy. Only video i could find 

 

The part that amuses me about all the people complaining is that Buffalo would have won by a landslide if Josh Allen wasn’t terrible all game.  Allen despite almost throwing a very catchable Eli Manning type ball that should have been caught to put them in position to tie at the end is the reason they weren’t kneeling the ball there.

Ok, do you agree that in order to piece different angles together in a potential overturn of a call on the field that the timing of the material in the different angles is a factor?

No. He said he's predominately leaning towards playing one more year but knows it probably isn't here

I’d argue bills defense was way worse than Allen and the offense. mahomes had a 99th percentile game in dropback success rate. Chiefs overall had a 97th percentile game in offensive success rate. I’d make the argument the bills defense also got fortunate mahomes fumbled a handoff otherwise it could’ve been worse. They were nearly bad as the Gannon defense in the SB with some analytics 

talk about an awful take.

Maybe, but Allen was lucky he didn’t end the game with 5 picks and that the Chiefs DB’s had no hands.
