Casey @ Bat Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 So I was watching the Raiders Jets game today. First Agholar gets behind the defense with 15 seconds left and I couldn’t believe it. Then Ruggs does and scores winning TD with 5 seconds. I don’t want to suggest that they threw the game cuz I don’t believe it. But, man that was odd. And they somehow keep the #1 pick.😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll likely find my way back, but I won't be happy about it. I do have other hobbies. And I can move into those... I took up smoking meats this summer... and instead of smoking in time for the game, I can just smoke the meat during the game and eat it outdoors as long as the weather holds. Maybe put the radio on... maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortimer Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 For you Wentz die hards out there: you assume Wentz can be 2017 Wentz again, but Howie and Doug can't be. The correct answer is 2017 was magic for the whole team and that magic is three years gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 time 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 think this is an overreaction, but the issue was extending and restructuring older players for cap space now and poor cap numbers in the future. Extending early is great for young guys. Not so much for guys already on their second contract. Generally speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But depending on what happens, I probably won’t be as determined to get sundays off work or order Sunday ticket next year. This has been an exhausting season but everyone will be back. I want to say right now I won’t get Sunday ticket but if they draft Chase and some other quality players I’ll be sucked right back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tracking and catching that he always struggled with. He's always had the deep speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s getting killed a little too much for the call. The CB is to know better than biting on a double move there. Apparently Williams calls that a lot in Hail Mary situations.

Wouldn't surprise me if once he stopped playing rugby FT that he's added 15-20 lbs. Even if you look at his rookie year to now, his physique looks entirely different.

BDawk_ASamuel Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 At least he admits it. I didn't expect him to lock Metcalf and Adams down, but at the same time I think it's fair to expect him to not give those guys one of their best games of the season each.

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 I'm pretty sure I saw Doug calling in plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggles_Phan Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 4 minutes ago, Ace Nova said: 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. I think a lot of those are leaked by Howie to insulate himself. We've heard of countless former Eagles' Execs that are not happy with Howie's maneuvering behind the scenes. And if Lurie sees Howie as a son, that's too bad for him. "It's a business" after all.

If he's a top CB, then he needs to at least slow them down. He wasn't even a speedbump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
