To expand, Toth may not be very good player but he knows how to play center; he knows the calls, he’s seen the blitzes, splits, stunts, etc. not as well as Kelce but better than a rookie. The center’s job is a ****. The folks who blow Toth off are demonstrating a certain level of ignorance. Who better? Dickerson at center is a bad trade off. Now you suck at LG. But, then again, there are some folks here who claim to know better than Stout. I’m sure they do, as do we all. I should make a list to salute them but I don’t feel like embarrassing them. They’re just having a bad day.To be fair, we all knew he should play Fred Johnson at RT, and he put in Pryor instead which was a disaster. Stoutland happens to be human, which means he can be wrong at times.

5 hours ago5 hr I've been wanting to explore this for awhile.I suppose I'm probably not the only Eagles fan who has the sense that anytime an opposing team is set to kick a really (and I mean really) long field goal, it's almost certain that it's going to be successful. It's freakish how often it seems to happen. So I did some statistical research to see if what I sense is in fact a reality. It turns out, it is.Here's the deal. In the NFL, the field goal distance where it's pretty much a 50/50 "make or miss" is 55-yards. Anything shorter than that, the odds are that the kick will be made. Anything further than that, it's more likely to be a miss. That 55-yard mark has been the standard for some time now. Granted, it's possible that that break even point might have drifted slightly to 56 yards, but as a rule of thumb, you should consider 55 be that key distance.Okay, so I went back to 2010 (pretty much an arbitrary date, but it's my research project so I can do what I want) and checked the records for all field goal attempts by Eagles opponents of 56 yards and longer. Including the 2010 and 2025 seasons (thus far), there have been eighteen attempts. FOURTEEN have been made. That's 14-of-18 from distances where it should be more likely to be missed than made.I looked through an old college math textbook to find a binomial chart to shed some light on this. Basically, the odds of flipping a coin eighteen times and having it come up heads (or tails) fourteen or more times is between 1 and 2%. That's it. And that's for an "even chance" scenario, not one where the odds are much lower. So yeah, it's pretty freaking ridiculous. And I just knew when that Vikings kicker was going to attempt a 59-yarder last week that he was going to make it. I just knew it. What's particularly hilarious is that just last night that same kicker was SHORT from 53-yards. WHILE KICKING INDOORS!!!! I guess because it wasn't the Eagles he was facing, he no longer had super powers.End rant.

4 hours ago4 hr HURTS WAS 3-1 WHEN EITHER DEVONTA OR AJ WERE OUT IN 2024 AND 0-1 WHEN BOTH WERE OUT.HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 4-0 BUT SAQUON DROPPED THE BALL.Most of the 4th quarter vs New Orleans was without AJ and DeVonta. How did that turn out?Did he find another option to throw to?How dare he win a Super Bowl on a team that went 14-1 in the last 15 games that he played without injury.We could hand it off to Saquon.We could have Hurts run the ball.We can toss it to DeVonta.We can toss it to AJ.How about Goedert?NO, WE HAVE TO THROW IT TO OUR 6TH OPTION SO THE CLOWNS ARE NOT SAD THAT HURTS IS NOT GETTING HIM THE BALL!Why try to win games when you can try to establish the Dotson instead?The Chiefs did a pretty good job on D in the Super Bowl, that would have been a good time to work Dotson in on a couple huge plays.Oh, that's exactly what Hurts did.Who scored the first TD for the 2024 Eagles in the playoffs?Dig into this game until you get a clue.https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201001100nwe.htmWhat a pathetic chump New England had at QB. He could not dominate without Welker. All he had was Moss at WR1, Watson at TE, a young Edelman, and Kevin Faulk out of the backfield.Maybe this whole QB thing is difficult?Hurts threw for 311 vs New Orleans without AJ.He has Atlanta beat without AJ but Saquon dropped the ball.The Tampa game was not just a game without AJ. It was a road game without AJ, DeVonta, and Lane.What kind of argument is: "The 2023 Eagles were such a stable organization at the end of the year. I am so disappointed in Hurts not rallying them on the road without AJ"This is flat earth level worthless argumentation at this point.Just say you all hate Hurts and move on.

Perhaps he’s learned if you don’t try at all you won’t be credited for missing them… here’s an example on the Swift TD from this past weekend. If you want to see more there’s a 3 minute video of Swift highlights from this game, where Jonas stays out of the action. It’s very odd for safety. I’ve seen it before in CBs like DRC, who think it’s their job to cover only.
4 hours ago4 hr 2 hours ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said:on Aj, he is a smart person. I think the overlooked issue in this is AJ’s future contract whether he here or somewhere else in 2027. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already looking at 2027 as he’s negotiating for a new contract (or next offseason negotiating for an extension know he has basically got little guarantee $ in 2027) with another team. He has $4 million in guaranteed money for 2027.Imo in his mind if he knows his production declining from 2023 to 2024 to 2025 to 2026 is going to be used against him at the negotiating table. It’s going to hurt him even if it isn’t necessarily him being a declining player. Along with the fact in 2027, he’s gonna be 30 and with the way he plays the position (had some durability issues with titans and now with eagles). Those are things that are going to be used against him.So there’s part of me that understands where he is coming from as it’s potentially sizable loss of money down the road and likely his last big payday. He only has so much time in the NFL with how he plays and at his position to cash in. He’s probably looking at 2027 or next offseason when asking for more guaranteed money/reworking his contract as his last big payday.I’m not saying he’s right or wrong for thinking that way or viewing it that way. however i think this is setting up for this offseason where he’s going to ask for more guaranteed money/rework his deal this offseason or asking to allow him to seek a trade to try and get an extension from another team while doing so.He should not get another contract here, we're going to end up paying big money for a guy who is probably going to fall off a cliff in 2-3 years

1 hour ago1 hr So NBA got hit with a gambling scandal I’ve been trying to tell you all this crap is rigged Nobody really wants to believe it. Whats going on in the nba is the tip of the iceberg, but don’t worry they’ll find a way to save face too much money involved.
1 hour ago1 hr 7 hours ago, jojodancer said:The way I look at it. If Howie was willing to trade for Parsons, then Becton & Williams was possible last offseason, no matter what cap experts on this board think. And I rather pay both of them and then have worked from there. So you don't sign Jurgens long term at that time and most likely lose Davis long term. I'm okay with that scenario. And was then. I like the trenches always being stocked. That failed this year. Still had Davis and Ojomo for 2 more years in my scenario. A solid 3 year Superbowl window right there on paper, at mimimum, with excellent line depth. And Steen as a great backup who would play a bunch with our injuries. And Jurgens you just wait on after only one full season starting at Center. And a bad back. Not even a home town early discount there. Signed for Top 2 Center bucks.Is there a DE outside the top 2 or 3 you would trade for Carter? I wouldn't. Getting there from the outside is great but if you can collapse the middle it's a nightmare for QBs. When you have two like Carter and Williams you get the game vs the Chiefs in February. I was shocked at how much he got from NE but he is worth it. If I could pick him or Parsons to magically land on the Eagles I'm picking MW. Talent wise that isn't a good pick but impact wise I've seen the one be dominating in the SB and the other go home early.

I’d be more shocked if there weren’t a few people doing bad stuff. You fill a room with a random 100 people and there’s gonna be all sorts of anecdotal crazies in there.
