Shaping up to be a pretty solid class with him, Nix, and Daniels

You missed the best of the bunch, Maye. 

His film has some really nice throws and he is still just 22

Here's a crazy idea... stop using the QB as a fundamental piece of the running game and your QB won't take as many hits, leading to a lower probability of a concussion.

Not going to happen as long as Hurts is the QB.

 

Cowboys lead the all time series 74-57-0

He takes the heat off the players, for better or worse.

I choose column B.  

My key to the game:

If Hurts doesn't play, the only way I can see the Eagles losing this game is if Pickett completely bombs. Just has a terrible game. I don't see the defense not showing up. I see the OL rebounding from last game. So my key is if Pickett is playing horribly, they need to go to McKee. I don't want it to be a 7-6 game in the late 3rd where McKee is 6/17 for 38 yards. Not saying that will happen, but if it does they better have the balls to give McKee a shot.

We went on a 10-32 run against Dallas from 1967 thru 1987.

Been exactly .500 ever since.

Many fans today aren’t aware of the long suffering some of us Eagle die-hards went through back in the day.

Maybe by the time PIT has another shot to end their Philly losing streak, we'll be closing in on .500 overall vs. DAL.

Will find out if Barrett cleared waivers today.

I remember it well. Think we won 1 out of 20 or something at one point.

No chance. It will take two decades to get there if we don’t have a crazy winning streak.

How did we win the 10?

 

It's a miracle.

His running makes him a unique QB. Without it he’s a lower tier player. It would be like asking Lamar to stop running, but Lamar is a better passer so he’d probably find a way to make it work.

Just sweep'em for the next 8 seasons -  keep the streak going this Sunday.

We'll have road games next season against the Chiefs, Chargers, Packers, Vikings, Bucs/Falcons, and assuming we win the division, the Bills.  Yay!

Lions, Bears, Broncos, Raiders, and Rams/Seahawks at home.

Yikes! Right now that’s a terrifying schedule!

Eh... Lamar definitely has a better arm but I don't think he can make it work as a passer either.  Not good.

Pretty much agree.

Kellen needs to finally call under-center runs and let the OL win the game for us.

I looked it up.  The Cowboys won the last 4 games in the 60s and then went 16-2 against us in the 70s thru '78 so it was a 2-20 phase.  The Vermeil team finally got things going with a win in '79 and thereafter it evened up in the 80s.  The Cowboys have had a slight advantage overall during the last 3.5 decades.

Guarantee we'll have to go to Tampa - seems we never get to play those F'ers at home and we always play them down there in September when it's 110 degrees

#4 is clearly leading with his helmet and smashes Hurts's head into the ground.  

It was very Clowney-like

Guys wanna talk about the Lamar falloff when he can't run as well, but the Josh Allen falloff might come sooner when those hits finally catch up to him. Will be like Cam Newton but not as bad.

I just watched the Pickett scramble again and it is so ridiculous that they picked up that flag.  It was 100% clear that he made contact with Pickett's helmet.  More like a brush as most of the defender flew over Pickett but anything is enough.  Should have been a 15yd personal foul.

So watching the Bears last night and how horribly coached they were made me think about Sirianni's job status and potential scenarios. I want to throw out a few scenarios and we'll call this game 'Will Sirianni Keep His Job If?' Give me keeps his job, doesn't keep his job for each.

Scenario 1: The Eagles win out, finish 14-3, but lose in the wildcard round in ugly fashion.

Scenario 2: The Eagles make the NFC Championship game, but lose because of a coaching blunder. Like bad clock or timeout management

Scenario 3: The Eagles blow the division, win the wildcard round, lose in the divisional round.

Obvious ones where he obviously keeps his job not included.

Allen takes a bunch of extra hits too if you count all the times he flops.
