I thought maybe with the loss yesterday to the awful Jets maybe the Bengals would consider moving Hendrickson, but with the Steelers losing also, no one is running away with that division, so I doubt it.

The best options for Edge seem to be trading probably lesser picks for a more expensive guy like Chubb who will likely be a half year rental and started off with 3 sacks in his first 3 games, but hasn't had a sack in 3 weeks.

Or taking a chance on a guy like Jermaine Johnson who has a lot of talent and is young, but simply hasn't produced this year, so you wonder if you have to give up a 3rd for a guy like that who may not be any better than Hunt this season is it worth it?

If the Jets would be willing to trade Will McDonald, now that's something I'd be interested in, but it would likely cost a 2nd and I don't think I'd be willing to give up more than a 3rd.

There's also Dre'Mont Jones, but he was a free agent in the offseason and the Eagles could've signed him but they didn't.

I'm shifting toward my favorite options either being giving up peanuts for Calais Campbell. Or giving up slightly more for Chase Young. Chase Young has 2 sacks in 3 games, is still young, and likely won't cost a ton. Not sure if he fits Fangio's system. But I watched a lot of that game yesterday and he looked good.

Yep - lessen Saquon's workload - extend his career, etc

Pretty much - lower the probability that he gets dinged during garbage time.

Ever notice how when loser Stafford throws the ball 3 yards out of bounds past Puka on 4th down so the Eagles go to the NFCCG how not one single person on the planet took a look at the all-22 to see if Stafford should have thrown it somewhere else and then put it on Twitter?

Stafford caused a fumble by flip spinning the ball with crazy rotation to his RB on a pitch. I have never seen that before in my entire life.

It was a grade Z, 0 out of 100 play.

Crickets...

I like the idea of building leads with Saquon, and closing games out with Tank... but we only have a small sample size of running success to this point.

It was really good to watch Tank for an extended period of time yesterday. I like his movement. His cuts are very decisive and he uses them frequently…when he cuts he immediately moves north and south and looks like he doesn’t give up too much speed or quickness. He seems to always be in a position to be falling forward.

Yeah, he's a competitor though - to the point of taking too many unnecessary hits when he's on the field. If (or when) he comes back, hopefully he learns to just let a play go when there's not much there - instead of taking too many unnecessary hits.

I soured on Carson pretty hard for his behavior and play towards the end, but I do think he should be given a 1 day contract to retire with the Birds.

For all the bad, he was a big part of our first SB season and it’s time to let bygones be bygones.

I really don't want them calling in from NY to call penalties after the fact - if we think the game is disjointed now, imagine a flag coming out 30 seconds later. Just get better officials on the field already.

A related gripe is that they should let coached challenge a missed facemask. It's pretty objective.

Its just classic trolling.

QBs can not look at every target at the same time.

He liked the 1 on 1 with Dotson and maybe he looked at DeVonta before DeVonta got open deep.

If this is just Madden then you throw it to DeVonta. Its not.

It comes down to the same thing this year.

Hurts is the worst QB in the league... except for all the other ones.

It was a pretty simple decision. He was being blitzed , he saw the 1-1 coverage and he threw it up giving his receiver the chance to make a play on it….just as it is taught throughout the league. Every receiver appreciates a QB who is willing to trust them in a situation like that…especially Brown. He put itwhere the ball needed to be and Dotson made a great play on it…period!

Go ahead and rate the Tom Brady to Julian Edelman miracle catch in SB LI

It hits the hand of a Falcon first. Yes, some anti-Brady crowd harped on it the few weeks after the game but that was it.

We had to hear about the Foles ball in the playoffs that went off a Falcon's knee for 5 years.

He had a top 10 all-time playoff run but he was not perfect. No one ever is.

Joe Montana gave the ball to Lewis Billips. Billips dropped it. Joe Cool is still the 1980s-2013ish QB GoaT.

No where was I trolling. I didn't say it was the wrong throw. I didn't say it was a bad throw. I literally said, DeVonta was also wide open and he would have walked in. There's no trolling. There's no criticism there. How people are taking that post as me thinking Hurts is the worst QB in the world or me throwing shade is baffling.

It was a great play. I'm happy to see Dotson make a play. The Eagles need more than their top 4 guys making plays.

I think Bigsby could play a bigger part (not just 'garbage time') If Bigsby can continue to perform the way he did yesterday - we could begin to see 2 RB sets/pro sets, etc - even with RPO's etc - great weapon to have, imo Plus, he can rotate in and out - giving Barkley a break on longer drives, etc

I only watched it live so I can't speak for the spot besides the initial spot was beyond the first down marker. I'll take your word for it though.

As for the hit, it may be a penalty by definition. I just think it's one of the area's that defense should get the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise you are going to see the same crap Mahomes pulls on a regular basis with every QB. If you want to go for extra yards or tip toe down the line to go out half a second before the guy hits you, you deserve to be hit. QB's shouldn't be able to manipulate the rule to their benefit. The rule is in place to protect them from dirty cheap shots, not for them to use as a tool for free yards and an additional free 15.

Yeah, I agree that QBs shouldn't have some special rule for this type of situation. I'm thinking this particular play was a penalty even if it was an RB/WR. I'm not suggesting it should have been a penalty due to it being the QB.

Saquon's three kelly green games:

1) Backwards leap

2) Breaks 2k in a season

3) First break out game of 2025

While many of us would love it, Eagles just don't do the 2 back sets.

Sure, he’s RB2 - the 4 minute drill is important, so that’s actually a lot of responsibility.

Huh?!? I thought you were criticizing Hurts and was ready to jump on board!!!!!

Don't let them intimidate you. We need to incessantly point out his flaws despite his continued and unprecedented success.

I'm sure we have, but I can't recall. Maybe once this year with Barkley and Shipley

I didn’t like those shoes he was wearing; a true leader would have thrown on some ridiculous bright red shoes to show support for AJ Brown.

Really good comparison of the 2 players and an awesome picture to go on top of it. I was a huge Milton Williams guy. He was my top priority at one point before the cost got astronomical. Ojomo has filled in quite nice. The Eagles basically played 3 DT against the Giants. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ojomo be the first DT to get an extension. We know Carter is getting PAID and we know that Davis had his 5th exercised but I'd guess that Howie tried to avoid another Milton situation and gets Ojomo locked up at a modest salary before he hits the market and commands starting DT money.

Fun fact, he wore the black AJ1 as a tribute to Randall and his black cleats days.

Eagles need to make 3 roster moves in the next two weeks. More if they make any trades that don't include a player of their own. (Also might have Hinton, Williams and Lampkin return at some point).

I'm guessing Granson is one of them. Doesn't seem like 4 TE's is needed, especially now with Johnson playing in more 6 OL sets. I can't speak to overall ST play but it feels like Latu has flashed more there.

Dillon probably should be one with the emergence of Bigsby as an offensive weapon. I'm not even sure he played a single snap yesterday.

Not sure who the third would be. Patrick Johnson?
