ryan tannehill makes decision's quick and makes carson look like he rode the short bus.

Tennessee's play action game makes life a lot easier for quarterbacks. 

coach frank acting like doug , gotta get more creative on that 4th down

why Willkins on 4th and 1 when Jonathan Taylor is on the team? 

Good 4th and 1 call again from Reich 

Why not kick it on the road 

So we dont talk about AJ Brown drop and praise Howie for not picking him? Only works the other way around?

JJAW doesn't have any drops this year.  It was the right pick!

Just traded for Miles Sanders in fantasy football. Sorry in advance guys. 

Maybe you not having him has been the problem all along

Thats a very optimistic outlook.

Watching Hines play, and I think the Eagles envision Huntley being a very similar player.

Dennis Kelly would have been a nice 10 year fixture in the O line depth.  Whatever happened to DGB anyway?

I didn't think there was a chance in hell we would have ended up losing that silly trade.  Kelly would have been so useful when we were on our 3rd and 4th string RTs earlier this year.  

Looks like he's been doing well though since he left the NFL.

Such a sad story. 

Meh, Dennis Kelly was terrible here. And he had Stoutland. He wouldn’t be on the team at this point if they didn’t trade him.

It just seemed like such a sure thing.  It felt like we traded a tub of lard for a 2nd round pick malcontent that was a freakishly athletic and fast WR.

Yea that I agree with. I couldn’t believe we got anything of value for him so it seemed like an automatic win. 

Colts have a pretty good looking young defense.

Pittman looks like a nice player too

Amazing Tannehill not even looking at all to half of the field.

The fact that the Titans were willing to trade him for another team's 8th offensive lineman should have been a clue about what was coming. I read those tea leaves instantly, though I hoped for the best. The only real surprise is that Kelly lasted as long as he did and actually carved out a career for himself. It kinda makes me hopeful about Mailata as they are both 6'8" guys. Maybe it just takes a while sometimes for guys of that stature.

By the way, it was forty-one years ago tonight that the Eagles played what may have been the defining regular season game of Dick Vermeil's tenure. Monday Night at Dallas against the defending NFC Champion Cowboys. Tom Landry. Roger Staubach. Tony Dorsett. Drew Pearson. Randy White. All those guys. Eagles had started the season 6-1 but had lost three straight to fall to 6-4. Everyone is kind of panicking. They hadn't won a game in Dallas in about a dozen years, with pretty much all of them incredibly one-sided. Cowboys take the opening drive and march down the field easily to go up 7-0. A little while later, the Eagles went for it on 4th and 1 from around the Dallas forty. Uncommon and seemingly risky decision in those days. Ron Jaworski hits Harold Carmichael deep. Eagles end up scoring, and then proceed to dominate for about three quarters. Jaworski got knocked out of the game briefly, and John Walton had to come in for a bit. And along the way, Tony Franklin hits a 59-yard field goal, which at the time was the second longest in league history. But instead of it being a blowout, they let the Cowboys kinda hang around. Dallas rallies late to get within a score, but then Wilbert Mongtomery rips off a long touchdown run in the closing minutes to seal the victory.

It was the first time the Eagles had really gone toe to toe with those Cowboys and come out on top. Huge turning point for the team. Dallas ended up winning the division, but the Eagles made the playoffs as a wild card. And the next year the Eagles beat the Cowboys two out of three games and won the NFC Championship. 

Great memory. I was a freshman in college that year. Had a history test that morning that was postponed. The class was cancelled. I think the teacher left the test at home and didn't have a lecture prepared, so she just said f it and sent everyone home. I had a free day and spent the next ten hours or so just getting psyched for the game. Couldn't have turned out any better.

Eagles are up on the Giants 17-4 in the last decade. vs Washington is 12-9 and vs Dallas is 10-11. 
 

Kind of interesting the one team we beat the most somehow won a SB in the same time frame.

Giants having those 2 SB rings in like a 5 year span, and both times winning against the same team is still one of the most confusing sports things to me.
