He just looks much thicker in the midsection than he did when he played rugby. Yeah, he did look a bit leaner around the middle in his rugby videos. Wouldn't surprise me if once he stopped playing rugby FT that he's added 15-20 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz and Doug need to be split up and we need to see which one to keep. Doug should be gone even if Wentz isn't the one 1 minute ago, EagleJoe8 said: 4for4? Yup. That's the one.

Make up your mind and own it. But for the love of everything holy, don’t hire another babysitter for our GM. Either you think he is the man for the job or you don’t. It’s laughable that this will be the second or third baby sitter that needs to be hired for our bullet proof GM in need of adult supervision who has survived 3 coaching changes and counting. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with it. But there was a report last week that Howie and Lurie "think alike" and in a sense, they are "tied together".

Dwide Schrude Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I’ll still be around to watch Eagles football next year, no matter what happens. But depending on what happens, I probably won’t be as determined to get sundays off work or order Sunday ticket next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle45 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 One lesson to learn from Howie’s bad contracts (and from players around the league like Dak and Clowney)... Football is an increasingly fickle sport. Careers are getting shorter and shorter. Excellence is harder to sustain. It used to be smart to lock up a player as soon as they broke out...”they will only get more expensive, lock them up now.” That philosophy has burned this team horribly. There is a reason the players hate not getting early extensions. Do not extend any player until they are COMPLETING the last year of their contract. For every player that gets more expensive, 10 will fall off, tear something, get figured out by the league, miss games and get cheaper. No early extensions. For anyone.

I didn't realize people were actually being serious about Lurie selling the team...I thought you were referring to the discussion I was having with IP earlier. I've been one of the folks who has brought up that scenario. I'm not saying that's the ultimate solution but I do question where Lurie's heart is as an owner now. He's a billionaire. The Eagles are his money making machine. He got the SB monkey off his back. Now he can do things exactly as he sees fit. He's sounding more and more like Jerry Jones from recent reports. I always liked the fact that Lurie was the ANTI Jerry Jones. He stayed away from things. He owned the team and didn't mess around with much football stuff. He hired the guys to do the job. Now we are hearing that he has more of a say on who the team drafts, who he wants to play and such. Do I realistically think Lurie should sell the team? No. Do I wonder if things might not actually ever get fixed unless he sells the team? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is reporters got confused by what Doug meant by the play calling. Doug did say that it was a collaborative thing with the coaches but ultimately he calls the plays. Then the reports were coming out that Doug gave up play calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Howie is back next year... I don't plan to be. Don't kill the messenger. I was just going by what has been reported. And if you think about it, has there been a credible report saying "Howie's job is on the line?" I haven't seen it. The reports I've seen all allude to Pederson being on the hot seat and to a lesser extent, Wentz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
