I can't remember the last time they won up there

I'd hope so, Embiid is clearly done as the elite super star.

I don't really get why fans can't understand that the Bigsby move was made primarily for NEXT season when he figures to be the primary backup. And probably a pretty good one at that.

Yeah... I dont know.

I mean, the fact that the eagles wanted him to return kicks and wouldnt give him any offensive snaps may have been confusing at first. But still.... shortsighted view of things. It never made a lot of sense just to trade for him and make him a KR. That wasnt the primary focus of the move. They upgraded the backfield for next season, mainly.

And they should really use him more right now too.

Gosh, I'm so glad they took him. He's the one I wanted. No trading up. Not the trash Utah got.

Jordan Mailata on whether he prefers when the QB is under center: "Yeah, I do. ...It puts us in better angles. ...Most defenses, if you back up in 'gun, you're like OK, the RB is on the right, most defensive ends will crash and play that gap and they know where the play's going. Remove that and take that from the D-end, they have to respect both edges."

Jordan Mailata: "The message is let's be physical up front, both sides of the ball, and dominate. That's the message? Want to write something? Write that. ...It's personal for me. I hate that I played like crap. I can't stand when I don't live up to my expectations. ...So for me, it's a more personal game. I owe them one."

Eagles by 3 scores

• I'll say it again, Brett Toth is not an NFL player.

You see it, I see it. Everybody sees it.

Except Stoutland.

And he has forgotten more about OL than you or I will know in our lifetimes. But I just can't figure out why he has such a soft spot for him to keep on persisting with him over so many years....

Week 8 starts tomorrow. Hopefully I get smarter at this instead of dumber and dumberer. Only 13 games with 6 teams having a bye week:

Colts over Titans — 13 points

Bucs over Saints — 12 points

Chiefs over Commanders — 11 points

Pats over Browns — 10 points

Bengals over Jets — 9 points

Eagles over Giants — 8 points

Falcons over Dolphins — 7 points

Bills over Panthers — 6 points

49ers over Texans — 5 points

Packers over Steelers — 4 points

Bears over Ravens — 3 points

Cowboys over Broncos — 2 points

Chargers over Vikings — 1 point

The Van Sumeren injury really sucks because they could have had some nice under center installs with him in as a lead blocker and in the backfield. A lot of signs point to them wanting to have a significant part of the playbook operating under center and I think him getting hurt on literally the first freaking play of the season put a wet towel on that.

People in here complained about him repeatedly because of the style of his posts, often written in ebonics.

They complained about the punctuation beast used ... or didn't use. Not a bannable offense IMO. Was he banned here or on the old EMB or both?

If you think someone is a "POS" for posting non malicious innocuous stuff on social media, then maybe you're the problem, not him. The players voted him captain because they like him. That should suggest something.

The simple solution is to get offline, touch grass, and stop caring about stupid BS. Players get asked a thousand questions everyday from reporters, if you think Jalen Hurts cares if he was asked a question "Hey, what did you think of AJ Brown's social media post?" then you've been absorbed way too deep in Too Online Outrage-ism.

Congrats on making by far and away the worst post of the week. "POS" is a bit harsh but he is most definitely becoming a massive distraction and problem and if you think it isn't annoying and an additional challenge the QB has to deal with that he shouldn't have to deal with it I don't know what to tell you. Hurts just had a perfect passer rating and one of his best games as an Eagle and the team snapped a two game losing streak. Meanwhile his star WR is posting passive aggressive BS on social media yet again after that big win and he has to spend time answering questions about it, but hey that's just nothing. Try using some common sense and stop glazing AJ.

...and finally put the last nail in the entire "The Process" thingy which turned out to be one huge and long bed sheeting for the organization
