Completely agree we have bigger ambitions than just winning a play off game. Losing will hurt no matter who we lose to (if that happens). I just hate the Niners so much.

That’s fair. I don’t like them either. How about we just beat the snot out of them?

For those keeping track at home:

If we win out and then make the NFCCG, that’s win #68

Seifert inherited a 14-2 team with Rice, Young, etc.

Brown brough over the four-time AAFC champion Browns team with him.

Sirianni inherited a 4-11-1 team.

I don’t want to invest a 1st into a G while we have both Landon and Steen under contract next year. Lomu (1) or Pringos (3) are the type of tackle projects that might be available with both the preferred athleticism and armlength, although ideally they’ll need a redshirt with Stout and Lane’s vitamins. Getting a Day 2 iOL makes sense to me for estate planning and short-term depth.

Agreed on CB, taller/faster/better.

I thought the Cincy TE was above 250lbs, so potentially a Y type that might be able to play inline and block. I guess a F type/ TE2 is a possibility but they seem easier to find in FA.

The WR class seems fairly deep, so a good year to find a cheap replacement for Dotson (AJ as well, but that has been explained as an impossibility this offseason due to the cap).

I would be ok with a 1st round OG but I think they go with Steen again but give both Williams and Hinton a fair shot in training camp. Maybe Becton gets cut and we bring him back on a cheap deal but not sure, feels like the Eagles weren't crazy about his injuries and that's why he wasn't brought back. If they do happen to go OG I would love the idea of Proctor at RG though.

First round RT is an obvious possibility. Nothing blows me away this year but there's a few guys we could grab. The Clemson tackles are interesting to me; Goosby, World, Francis Mauigoa... I'd assume most of these guys will be there in the 20's and after, besides Francis. I think it's imperative to convince Lane to give us 1 more year. Whoever we draft gets one red shirt year under the tutelage of Lane.

From the Athletic on what sports thing fans are most happy about in 2025:

• "The gift that keeps on giving: Jerry Jones the GM!” – Brian (not a Cowboys fan)
  

• "My family has been lifelong Eagles fans, from their inception almost 100 years ago. My oldest grandson, who missed the first Eagles Super Bowl win in 2018 due to deployment in Afghanistan, was able to see this Eagles Super Bowl win, just prior to passing due to injuries he suffered while serving his last tour in Afghanistan in 2021.” — John W.

Tough to call but just have that gut feeling Bills will pull this out

Bills 27

Eagles 13

If the Eagles make the Super Bowl this year then Jalen Hurts pretty much has his ticket to the Hall of Fame stamped. Every QB that has made at least 3 starts in the Super Bowl has made it into the Hall of Fame.

Aikman

Brady

Manning

Warner

Elway

Kelly

Bradshaw

Montana

Staubach

Tarkenton

Big Ben (will be)

Mahomes (will be, of course)

Does Ben get in even with his rape accusation?

Caleb Lomu is intriguing to me. He’s played LT at Utah but he looks technically sound and a switch to RT might not be out of the question. Doesn’t have a ton of experience but lots of upside. 6’6 and 305 with room to put on another 10 pounds of mass.

Steen hasn’t stood out as being bad this season which is a good thing for a first year starter at RG. He hasn’t fallen apart with Lane being out of the lineup and Jurgens hobbled; my guess is the Eagles like what he’s done there.

Not sure it's related, but maybe playing 90% of snaps each game isn't the smart move.

Maybe don't play him until the playoffs then? This team is so beyond stupid with injury management this year. "We played more than anyone last season, 4 of our most important players have been hurt all year long, and these last 2 weeks are pointless. Let's play them all!"

I don’t disagree with you there but that would put the Rams at home in the NFCCG. Not the most intimidating of stadiums to go to I know but still a big travel to the west coast. I don’t think the Niners are that good and have massively benefited from a soft schedule. But I couldn’t justify losing to them whereas I could justify losing to the Rams.

I have been down on the Niners all year, but I think they pose the bigger challenge to the Eagles. They do not have recent tape on the Niners as the Eagles have played the Rams this year and we got to their very best because that was their Super Bowl. The Niner D has dealt with big injuries but I have not seen a team that plays as hard and is as physical as the Niners. They fly around and really hit people. Give me the Rams right now!

The niners offense is garbage, who do they even have aside from CMC? Rams are a more complete team, with an immensely better offense run by an immensely better QB. This defense easily holds SF to under 20, they can do the same to the Rams but it'll be far more difficult and will probably require multiple turnovers (which we haven't really been great at forcing this year, 14th in takeaways)

Rams are the 6th seed and 3rd in line in odds of winning the West.

I just think it's funny that the two #1 seeds from last season didn't even make the playoffs. And the Vikings, who won like 13 or 14 games from last year (I can't remember and I'm too lazy to look it up) didn't make it either.

The NFL is crazy fun every season.

I will be annoyed if the Eagles play for the #2 seed in week 18. Take the rest over the #2 seed. Just doesn't have the level of importance anymore without the bye.

This war of tanking might’ve the best thing in week 17

I believe the post was worded to be a bit dramatic. They probably left out the words "without pain."

Texans offense getting it together at the right time?
