I just watch games on Sundays and ignore crap like this.

The nonsense that gets spun without context is nauseating.

Congrats Eagles....you beat up the equivalent of a mentally deficient stupified child.

Step up to a mans level of game and see if you hold up because you have not all season.

Defense the last 5 weeks since the Bye:

7 Points

16 Points

24 Points

23 Points

0 Points

= 14 PPG

ELITE level defense

If the offense could just stay consistent and play complimentary football, I don't think anybody could stop us

I'm not talking about scoring on every drive, but just flip field position from time to time and allow the D to rest

Nah, we’ve turned a corner. C of the walk.

I know it’s too early to talk about the off-season, but I am super curious to see what they do with jaelen Phillips. Imo with Jordan Davis stepping up and playing even better with Carter out, I think the Eagles want to get him and Carter long-term deals. then just replenish everything behind them in the draft and undrafted free agents and developing them.

But the pass rushing position you’re not gonna be able to pay those two guys, and then pay 3 pass rushers. If they let Phillips walk, collect the likely 3rd comp pick and then it’s move forward with smith and hunt. However if you pay Phillips, i don’t see them being able to pay everyone that includes Davis, Carter, Phillips, smith and hunt along with dejean, Mitchell, potentially Reed and Baun.

if they extend Phillips, I could see the logic of hunt over smith. Smith can be really good and even great but he’s also had injuries from the time he’s been at Georgia till now. Also, hunt came into the league with not much experience at his position. The fact that he is where he is after two years is pretty amazing. So I could see the eagles thinking hunt is just scratching the surface of his potential and in his second contract gets to another level. Frankly can have all 3 for 2026 but in 2027 hunt and smith would be in the last year of their deals (assuming smith gets his 5th year option picked up) and i don’t see the eagles just letting both play it out.

Yeah I think a good chance the team looks dramatically different 2 years from now. Too really good players that will all get paid whether here or somewhere else. Howie has to somehow make the correct commitments when no matter what path he chooses will lead to letting some good young guys walk.

I find it really hard to give a crap about a win against that sorry excuse of a team. But I will say it's kind of nice to see Darius Cooper contributing. A lot of these preseason darlings never do anything in the regular season. And after his injury I expected nothing from him. Always nice to have depth.

We need this pic of Coop turned into an official emoji.

Im fairly certain it automatically snows whenever he puts that outfit on, for aura reasons.

Really hilarious the people who have the vapors about playing the Bills.

3 teams have allowed 2k rushing yards so far. Giants, Bengals, Bills.

The Eagles will run for 280 on Buffalo.

OMG! When we play the Bills its gonna be just like 2023! ... oh, wait, we beat the Bills in 2023.

What's up with Coop's green Grandma handbag/ purse in that picture??!!

Has werthers, some hard green and red mints, or life savers mints if he is hip. A check book, a little mirror for fixing his hair, Nail clippers, small scissors, band aids, and more. All the essentials for survival.

NFC East is about to have its first repeat winner in 21 years.

So looks like #3 seed it is with a decent enough of a chance for the #2 seed.

I don't see them beating Buffalo. So they'll most likely beat Washington next week, lose to Buffalo the following week, and then rest all their starters against Washington (and win anyway).

In the unlikely event that they do beat the Bills, I think I'd still rest everyone but aggressively prep the backups to try to get the W against Washington in the last week. The Commanders don't want that game. The depth on this defense and some Mckee magic should win it anyway.

I wouldn't be suprised if McKee isn't starting next Sunday because Jalen is questionable all week.

It does look like Jalen could have remained in the pocket and stepped past him rather than escaping out of it.

You think that sweater knit itself. He has to carry around his knitting supplies in order to finish his Xmas gifts.

In fairness to Gannon, he's the textbook example of a mediocre coach that sounds smart getting a job. I am glad they hired him because there was no way we were winning a Championship with him as the DC.

Gannon got good results last season with a bad roster. This season his bad franchise QB has only played in 5 games, and the substitute is mediocre career backup QB. He should get the opportunity to start fresh with a new starting QB, but it's the Cardinals ........

Vrabel gonna expect that fine in the mail

Well, that was a welcome change - first stress free gameday since before the bye. I know - the Raiders are garbage. But...they aren't THAT bad and had played reasonably competitive games against Denver and the Chargers recently. Holding an NFL team to 75 net yards (110 gross yards before sacks) should be impossible, and we did it without our best defensive player (arguably).

Offense

• Just a super efficient day from Hurts, with a ridiculous 11.7 YPA on only 15 passes. More importantly, he ran 7 times for 39 yards and some huge first down conversions with his legs. The throws to Smitty and AJ were perfect, and he really only missed throws to the backs. If Goedert could catch, he has 4 TD passes on the day.

• Just generally on the offense -- that's how we can win. 47 rushes to 18 passes is obviously too run centric, but our secret sauce needs to be running it relentlessly and then throwing it for chunk plays. While 3.9 YPC isn't exactly 2024 production (Barkley and Tank were 3.5 and 3.4, respectively), avoiding negative runs on 1st down and penalties is all we need to play this way. On quick scan, I counted 8 runs for negative or no yards, so around 15% -- still not great, but better. Only 3 total penalties on the team for 35 yards. Result? Scored on 5 of 6 drives by the starting offense, and would have been 5 TDs if Goedert catches that ball (instead of 4 TDs and 1 FG). Not surprisingly, the only 3 and out came after Barkley lost 4 yards on 2nd and 2.

• Barkley looked better, and if we could just audible out of under center runs into 9 man boxes...still feels like they stick with those hoping he just breaks through and makes a house call. Maybe try a screen pass on those?

• It's going to suck when Goedert leaves. Can't pay everyone.

• Felt like the line was better, especially Mailata. Jordan getting his 2024 form back, and Lane coming back, would really be a boost into the playoffs. Fred has done well, but being able to utilize him as the 6th OL would be huge.

• AJ and Smitty remain very good at football. Serious analysis here.

Defense

• The defensive line, without Carter, feasted again. I know -- the Raiders have given up the most sacks in league. But damn...BG somehow was unblockable on the inside. Phillips was causing problems from the outside, and Nolan Smith obliterated the RT on his sack. Ojomo and Davis are playing out of their minds as well. When Carter comes back...

• Losing Dean is really going to hurt. Guy really diagnoses quick and hits it -- annihilated a screen pass.

• Baun has quietly had another great year. Nice to see him get a pick.

• Q really might be the best corner in the NFL at this point. And thank God for Marcus Epps.

• Adoree Jackson...playing well?

• Hughlett is out secret weapon -- Jake hasn't missed with him, and the team is undefeated when he plays.
