I just don't see a guy that fits your description being available. If he is, great. I just don't anticipate it happening... especially at a cheap enough price to make the deal given that they let Rodgers walk for relative peanuts compared to a lot of starting CBs around the league.

Yeah...so if not, dont trade for a CB.. its the biggest need, but edge would be nice too.

Hell of a where’s Waldo player

did you think we got lucky on the bs whistle on the elliot miss or the missed holding call on dean when the giants scored early?

edit - nevermind, @vikas83 covered this.

A little sensitive huh? We were gonna win that game regardless, I didn't say we won because of bad calls.

The bad calls were all over the place against both teams yesterday:

1. On the Giants first TD, Dean was held and basically tackled on the blitz

2. A whistle clearly blew on Jake's FG attempt (ball in air), should have been a do over

3. Jalen clearly had a first down on the scramble (Mahomes gets the flag for the late hit, Jalen doesn't)

4. It was a fumble by Jalen on the ensuing brotherly shove

5. That was clearly a strip sack fumble by Uche

6. It was a GOOD CALL on the OPI on Slayton

Of course, the media will only talk about 4 and 6.

Had to make a quick drive today and Adam Schein just so happened to talk about the Eagles-Giants game. Only two calls he mentioned were 4 and 6

The overthrown angle on the Hurts TD is BS. It was a 50/50 ball with less than optimal placement so it was like a 40/60 ball.

Pretending it was a horrific throw is just more delusion in and endless wave of delusion.

What happens if Chris Jones or Trent McDuffie miss time?

How about Jared Verse and Byron Young?

How about Bosa and Warner... yeah, that already happened.

Losing all pro level players sucks. You can't build a roster with all pro backups.

I like Jakorian's ability. Lets see if they can coach him up.

He was making things miserable vs top end WR1s in Vegas.

Jordan Davis was awesome vs Dallas without JC and now that they have BG and Dean they are less likely to get run over if JC is out for a game.

We need to see improvement throughout the year so they peak in the playoffs. I am seeing that improvement.

I can't say for sure if it will continue but the Eagles should be the clear SB favorite right now.

I don't worry about other teams and who their backups are. I worry about what we have HERE and how to get an edge. I would venture to say they have someone better than Byron Young and Adoree Jackson. At this point, just looking for incremental improvements for depth with whoever comes in here. 🤞 They would be coached up fully by playoff time when it matters. Jackson and Ringo ain't it. Bennett is hopium right now. Need an experienced vet back there who can play. Problem is if Coop or Q go down you now have 2 stiffs that play in the secondary. We are short 1 starter as it is. Also, Carter playing way too many snaps. Need depth there. Like to get a Lindale Joseph/Suh type vet in there as well. Not expecting world beaters here. Solid known depth.

The outcome of the Dotson TD was fantastic, but much harder than it should have been. Look how wide open DeVonta is. Coulda have walked in.

This is a bad throw: That is Packers 17 Eagles 14 after 4th and 26 and before the FG to force OT.

Lost of suspect calls yesterday and one was the strip sack getting overturned. That has been a fumble for as long as we've had replay reviews and far as I remember they haven't made a rule change. The one earlier in the year was arguable either way and probably a correct reversal but the reversal yesterday was ridiculous. Pereira was clearly not able to explain why it was reversed.

I think generally fans gripe too much about officiating but even I will admit that was one of the worst officiated games I've seen in some time.

The overturned Dart fumble was a fumble. It feels like they just wanted to give Giants a make up call for the other bizarrely officiated tush push fumble. Then you also have the mystery whistle on Jake's FG miss that was never explained and numerous bad calls and no calls for both teams.

Hurts throws a TD pass and still gets shade. Unreal.

I'm not giving him shade at all. I'm just pointing out how wide open Smith was.

Yeah, very strange. Missed calls on the field suck but are understandable to a certain extent. Missed review overturns are just flat out not acceptable. If there is any question at all the call on the field must remain. The league has been pretty good and consistent with that over the years but it feels like they are starting to slip. Yesterday's overturn wasn't even a questionable event and is really a head scratcher.

Looked like he was throwing left no matter what. Lucky it wasn't picked and Dotson Moss'd him

I like the no call on #3. Jalen wasn't giving himself up, he was going for yards and lowered his shoulder. You have a point that Mahomes would get the flag, but I think that's just bad officiating. It should be equal no flags regardless of the player. The spot was comically bad though.

The block in the back call was bad. The netural zone infraction call was bad as Mailata clearly false started. I feel like they got maybe 1 or 2 calls right the entire game.

It seems like this year there's been a lot of calls changed/reversed with no explanation - they just go to commercial, come back and they've decided to change it. It's bizarre.

Who FN cares, he threw a TD pass. You absolutely are shading him whether you want to realize/admit it or not.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the missed false start on JM. Giants got hosed on that.

That whole crew should be fired.

So saying a guy is open is throwing shade? I gave all the credit, but just suggesting that another player is open is not throwing shade.

"Hurts is too afraid to pull the trigger and trust his WR's to make plays because he's afraid to throw INT's."

Hurts pulls the trigger and gives his WR an opportunity to make a play:

"Hurts is lucky that wasn't picked."

I really don't get when expedited review is appropriate and when you need to challenge. Collinsworth asked this last night on SNF, and Terry's explanation was kind of a word salad. If it's clear and obvious they use expedited review -- but aren't all overturned calls supposed to be clear and obvious?

Most likely Dotson was first in the progression, he was the 1 on 1 against zero blitz and made the throw. Doubt he ever looked at Smith. It happens. Dotson was being covered by a PS corner.

Never suggested he made the wrong read and he should have thrown it to DeVonta. Merely, pointing out that he was wide open. We point out wide open players every week. It was a fantastic play.

You said it was "much harder than it should've been" and said that he missed Devonta open and should have thrown it to him. You are being critical of the guy on a play where he threw a TD. If you don't realize you are throwing shade at him then you don't understand what it is to shade someone.
