The boycott the NFL crowd is back in 2019. In 2020 the NBA stole the show going nuclear on itself far and away more ridiculous than the NFL ever was.

Sounds a lot like McNabb.

Has anyone here listened to the Mosher and Caplan Inside the Birds podcast?

Caplan who usually leans somewhat pro Eagles and their player, really tore into Wentz during their game breakdown of Sunday.

He said that he’s heard from multiple sources that Wentz really needs to be coached and coached hard because he has constant frustrating breakdowns with his mechanics and he said the coaches right now are being too easy on him and JDF used to ride his a** big time when he was here and it got the best out of him.

Caplan thinks Doug needs to take a more hands on approach one on one with Wentz because he doesn’t think Press Taylor is doing a good job.

Mosher said a non NFC East personnel guy texted him after the game and asked him why the hell Wentz hasn't learned to throw the ball away yet.

I’m so sick of Caplin say " Remember folks, we are not Eagles fans, we just call it as it is”. OK Caplin whatever. You know you finally got laid when the Eagles won the Super Bowl.

They're not great, but don't know that I'd go that far.

I don't agree with this. Rodgers is very accurate. His mechanics are consistent; they work for him even if it wouldn't for others. Rivers has unconventional mechanics, but he's accurate (his decision-making is another issue). 

My fear is Wentz is who he is at this point...which means he's going to miss gimme throws every game, and you have to hope he makes enough WOW plays to make up for it. 

A good coach would accentuate what Wentz does best and minimize what he does worst.   He worse at a straight drop every single time, scanning and throwing to a spot so, of course, Doug does that most of the time.  Bad coach.  Meanwhile, all verifiable data shows he is the best in the league outside if the pocket, scanning while moving, and throwing dimes- the famous Sanders TD last season being  the best example.   This is not to say he is moved every pass, but he needs to move, his mind processes information much better that way and his mechanics follow.  

I find it odd that with Foles Doug would call RPO, but with Wentz, an excellent RPO QB, zero, zilch RPO.

Probably so. Very inconsistent would be better.

Agreed, and I think some of that is his gunslinger mentality, trying to make throws from awkward positions, around defenders, or on the run. He's never been one to set his feet. Like you said, he's got the arm strength and accuracy that he doesn't always need to.

I also think trying to mess with a QB's mechanics at this stage in their football playing career is a dangerous game. The success stories there seem to be few and far between, which is why I never like drafting QBs like Tebow or Vince Young to be taken on as "projects". 

Let’s hope Sanders is healthy. The running game is key. Goal should be 100+ yards rushing as a team.

Networks splitscreen games with commercials now. Don't see how ad revenue will ever drop. Past few years they've also gone to commercial after a challenge, TD, flag, injury, sneeze, change of weather, etc.

I can understand if Doug is more comfortable having Goedert and Ertz on the field over JJAW and Hightower at this point, but what stuck out to me is Reagor is shown with 57 offensive snaps -- and they only got the ball into his hands one time?  Terrible.

Eagles 24

Love Child of Bill Belichick and Vince Lombardis team - 21

 

Donald sacks - 0

Eagles remain favorites to win which says alot. The eagles are now healthy and last week vs Washington meant very little.

I don't mean that in he doesn't run good routes.  What I mean is he takes shorter, choppier strides.  

Ertz is probably top 5-7 all time as a route running tight end.  He's not fast.  But his ability to get open is unreal.  

I wish he was a better blocker, and I really wish he didn't fall down every time he catches a pass to protect himself, but we have a better version of him that showcased himself last weekend.  Physical, aggressive, athletic.........I'm ready to move on!

So damn good.  My favorite Tarantino movie.  

The underground bar scene (three glasses) is one of my favorite scenes in movie history.  The tension is unreal.

It is stunning how often in sports, coaches do not play to their players' strengths.  Why is BB the greatest coach of all time?  Well, one reason is he adjusts his game to his player.  Doug  did too w Nick.  I mean, LOOK at last week with Cam.  Sheesh.

Wentz SHOULD BE moving as much as possible.

I’m going Pulp Fiction for my #1, IB probably two.
 

I always felt Reservoir Dogs was overrated but it’s been a long time. Maybe I need to watch it again.

I’m not sure how I’d rank it, but Jackie Brown would be high up there. Love that movie.

Yes, I was going to mention BB and Cam.  It's the perfect example.  19 passes, 15 rushes and 2 TDs.  Its elementary, but Doug is still in Kindi-garten.  Frustrating.

1) Kind of correct.  His mechanics are weird.  He's just so absurdly talented that he overcomes them.  

2) Correct.  Rivers reminds me of Peyton Manning but not in the same class.  No arm strength, awful mechanics, but has the ability to throw a receiver open before they make the cut.

Hard to argue Pulp Fiction.  Also amazing.  I'm kinda drunk, but I have seen "BB" multiple times on this page, and I keep thinking people are talking about "Breaking Bad."  Then Bacarty posts a pic of his Steeler jersey and TrotterisGod sends us all a youtube video that nobody clicks on and BAM..........I'm back in the blog!  

We are going to beat the piss out of the Rams.

For me, Tarantino is hit and miss.  I thought Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were excellent, Inglourius B and Kill Bill were okay (2 was better than 1), and Django Unchained was junk. 

I haven't seen his others.
