I'm glad the Eagles are pulling out all the stops to save a 3-8-1 season...

Nope, seasons officially over. Doug said it himself, cant make a QB switch without telling the locker room the season is finished.

Most of my posts here are my opinion.  99% of the posts in this blog are people's "opinions".

@Ace Nova here is you changing the narrative about the concussion nonsense to it was your opinion, after you stated it as fact in at least 10 posts that I reviewed.  This was just after @e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! asked if you had his medical records.

That he chooses Wentz over Hurts

How did we get there from that post though?

I dont do social media. Can someone explain what I'm looking at? Fletch liked a post with pictures of hurts and wentz? I dont get it.

Its a tweet saying Retweet for Hurts, Like for Wentz. He liked it, so he chose Wentz, presumably.

No you do not.  You never admitted that players can be tagged with the intention of trading them, even though it happened multiple times since the discussion.

What?  Because you can't "with intention".  LOLLOLOLOL.

It's not that common but the team signing the player would need to say they "signed him in good faith at the time and they did not have intention to trade him at the time of the signing"   Then the situation changed and they decided to trade him.

It was literally against NFL rules at the time to do that on a tagged player  (Which it was in Foles' case). I don't know if the rule has changed since then.

The difference between you and I is that I gladly admit when I'm wrong...you seem to like dying on your hill.   I'll eat crow. I've done it here plenty. 

 I admitted that in hindsight, the WR situation wasn't as good as I expected it to be,  Even in that case, the jury is still out to a degree because if all of a sudden the WR's look remarkably better with a new QB....well....

And I don't cry.  Certainly not for a football team (as much as I might like following them)...but you keep on going on and on and on with your passive aggressive attacks and straw man arguments whenever someone "calls you out", you've been doing it here for years, so it's to be expected. 

 

 

wow it must be really hard being God up there thinking that you’ve admitted to mistakes you’ve made when you have not besides the Robbie Anderson situation. And even then you gave a caveat of why it wasn’t entirely true. Literally last week I was talking about the wide receivers and you butted it in and had to make a comment where you put it well we can’t really judge them right now. So no you actually did not.  You did not admit that. You did what you just did in that paragraph. That is not admitting you’re wrong on that. That is you making an excuse like you like to think Carson Wentz people do.

And one who talks about strawman arguments and passive aggressive attacks. The king of kettle meet pot. you are a walking hypocrite. And trust me you’ve been on here for years Where you’re completely wrong on something and then you half ass a incorrect take with a caveat because you’re too prideful to do it. Trust me ask manu last week who admitted a mistake about Curtis Samuel. I did I even tagged him on it.  you have yet to do that without it being attached to an excuse you use.

Retweet under Jalen Hurts, like under Carson Wentz.  Fletcher Cox liked, not retweeted.

I don't know how much that Cox like means. Jalen Reagor liked a tweet about Wentz benched and Hurts starting. I think its just guys sticking up for who they are closer with.

Yeah when it was first posted on the eagles IG account, Will Parks commented something like "finally here we go”. Seems like it’s now deleted but nevertheless the locker room is definitely split. Not that Parks is still on the team, but that’s probably an honest opinion to see.

The second the season is officially over, we're going to have vets immediately go on IR. They won't do it until we're technically eliminated, but 2 Eagles losses + 1 win by either Washington or NYG in the next 2 weeks KOs us.

Doug lost me... and I usually stick with the coach longer than I should...

The "opinion" part was that it "could be" affecting Wentz this year.

The part that WAS NOT an opinion was in reference to the concussions themselves and that severe concussions can take months, sometimes even over a year to recover from.  Understand?

That, in and of itself, is an issue.  If that's what is happening, then that's a split locker room.

There has been multiple players,  the player was tagged, and the story said " WITH THE INTENTION OF TRADING HIM "

Dee Ford, Landon Collins, here is a story about it.  It has been a common thing.

https://withthefirstpick.com/2020/03/21/nfl-5-franchise-tagged-players-most-likely-to-get-traded/

More and more teams have started to use the "Tag and Trade” method in recent years to get compensation for some of their more talented free agents. That means they use the franchise tag to retain a player before turning around and trading them so as to not give out large contracts. Jadeveon Clowney, Dee Ford, and Frank Clark are all players that changed teams in 2019 via this method of team building.

I came back on this very board last season and went "bananas" in excitement when Wentz turned the corner and started playing at a "pro-bowl" level.  I admitted I was wrong in being overly critical of him earlier in the season.  And I went on and on about it.  I guess you missed all of that?

As far as the WR's this year?  Pretty sure that was mostly in reference to Reagor and I stand by that.

Twitter for dummies ( not saying that you are ), it was a poll, and Cox chose Wentz.

He does this crap all the Fing time. He changes his narrative halfway through an argument because he thinks he’s smart enough that we won’t figure out he changed his original opinion to something mid way through the argument.

And he also thinks that his assumptions are factually true. And then changes his narrative once again to but we’re on a message board so we’re all just guessing. So you’re just guessing but telling people the wrong. That makes no logical sense.

so Unless he talk to Jeffrey Lurie or somebody inside the Eagles organization how does he know that Jeffrey lurie (both howie and lurie as they seem to both be the ones that told him he had to fire his offensive coordinators) didn’t go to Doug and give him an ultimatum about starting hurts this week. and that’s the real reason that he starting this week.  Because whatever Doug says in his press conference is obviously true. We’ve proven over the fact of five years that a lot of stuff that comes out of that press conference is a bunch of BS

I don't care what the "story says" I am going by official NFL rules, do you not understand that?

 

Anyone else feel this team is going into the dark ages? A bunch of 4 win seasons over the next few years

Of course I think my "hypothetical scenarios" could be true.  That's why we post them, isn't it?

Do you post hypothetical scenarios that you think are wrong?

And yet once things started going south again you decided to jump off and then go into a rant about how we should’ve traded Carson Wentz for three first round picks and kept Nick Foles. So you really didn’t admit you were wrong. you just bullshitted yourself through the four games and as soon as it went bad again. Here we are. So you really didn’t amid it you just went with it until it went in your favor again and then went back to your original points
