NFLN just put up a graphic of the NFC Playoff picture; didn’t have the Eagles listed at all — not even In The Hunt ..... even though they would take the division lead with a win at home tonight.

The national media talks about the Eagles as though they’re the Jets

The Eagles are currently trending down.  Giants have won 3 straight, including over the Eagles.  Why would anyone in the national media be optimistic about them right now?  And they have their toughest 4 game stretch still ahead of them.

You guys are doing some major projection on that Duce Staley story.

Well here we go.  Funny how our only Wins this year came in Primetime:

 

0-6-1 (1:00PM)

3-0 (8:00PM)

 

After this every game is at 4:00 but Washington.  Back to 1:00 again.  Look I know people feel we don't have a chance but 2020 has shown me, streaks are made to be broken.  It's time to end this Seattle streak.   

Well, either the primetime streak will be broken... or the Seattle streak.  One is going down.

Eagles somehow are going to have a shot in this even if the next four weeks we get massacred. the Giants have their hardest part of their schedule coming up. Seattle, Arizona, Cleveland, Baltimore. I don’t see the Giants getting the six wins. They have Dallas week 17 so they should get five if Daniel jones is healthy. based off schedule dallas has the most realistic shot of getting to 6 wins. Still have bengals, eagles and giants. I still doubt they get to 6 

Washington has SF, Carolina and eagles as winnable games (don’t see them beating Pittsburgh or seattle). I think Carolina with bridgewater and sf are better teams.

It’s really going to be a race to 6 wins and 5 is probably the max for each team imo. 

Man, did Isiah Simmons rifle that Newton to the turf; what a BS penalty.

cam was still in bounds when he hit him. This is one of those penalties where the hit looks worse than what it really was (as it in live action looked like cam was out of bounds— he wasn’t)

It’s just a fluff piece; I didn’t read it as anything other than ‘Duce is a great guy’ in 3,000 words

Seahawks 27

Eagles 7

I just heard the Duce Athletic story. This team is a mess. wtf. 

I'm confused...

I'm surprised more hasn't been made about the Jalen Hurts news that came out yesterday morning. Despite that we all think and realize the direction this team is going, the Eagles themselves should be trying to win the division. They believed they are a contender. They're performing well below expectations. And reportedly, there will be firings if the team doesn't win the division. Carson is supposed to get back on track for this to happen, and we're spending a significant part of practice to prepare Jalen Hurts? I'm not totally sure the direction this team thinks they're going.

I want to see more of Jalen Hurts too because I have very little confidence in Carson or the way the offense is working around him. I'm just not sure what they're doing.

Good video. Very fair.

It wasn't a late hit flag. It was helmet-to-helmet.

Exactly. And the part about calling plays was a hypothetical if he became Head Coach some day, it's his opinion he probably wouldn't call plays.

They are out of ideas so they are going to try something goofy that is DOA before the game even starts.

How can Stidham be worse than Newton, seriously?  I’ll be quite ticked off if Belichick lucks into drafting another franchise QB.  Playing Newton this season has been sheer stupidity

The only issue I saw with that play was Simmons' helmet hit Newton right in the facemask. But hey, I still don't think it should have been a penalty.

They didn’t call it as such on the field; and it was a stretch to deem it a helmet-to-helmet hit.  There was minimal contact to the head.

I actually agree with blandino on this

It was ruled as unnecessary roughness on the field according to espn and yahoo and based off what i remember watching in real time. The way it was ruled as unnecessary roughness it shouldn’t have been a penalty. If they were going to throw it for helmet to helmet then I could be more understanding of it

He said you cant be a great HC and a great Play caller at the same time and you need to give up the play calling to someone you trust, and someone with experiance if you want to be a great HC

sounds specific to me...

Thats not what he said at all. He literally says you can do both, but if you have someone you trust it makes sense to give that part of the job to someone else.

"In my opinion, you definitely need a head coach that’s going to be what the title says he is, a head coach of a team,” he says. "You get head coaches as offensive coordinators, and a lot of focus is on that side of the ball. It has to be done that way when you are calling the plays. But when you get that (head coach) title, your job is to run the team. Not saying you can’t call the plays. But if you do have someone you trust who has had success (calling plays), there’s no reason why you wouldn’t let him do that.”

These feel like different answers. I'm definitely choosing to trust Jordan Raanan over Rapoport.

How many people remember 1985 when some were losing their heads after the team went to a SB with their starting QB, why they'd draft this QB in the 2nd round? They kept that starter another 2 years while this prospect sat. When he did finally start, that QB managed to save a head coach that understood as much as Doug Pederson about offenses.  That QB was Randall Cunningham, and that coach was Buddy Ryan. Eventually Ryan was exposed as having no offensive skills, but Randall, he moved on to take Vikings to an NFC championship after a 15–1 regular season record with 34 touchdown passes, only 10 interceptions, and 3,704 passing yards.
