I will take solace in the fact that KGH would be onIR if he was on the Eagles

We kept the wrong guy

It’s going to be very hard to watch this team this year. I have 0 excitement for Sunday.

You're setting that bar pretty low.

What right do we have to say a team who looks better than us "sucks"?

None.

The more we lose the better off. Drastic changes need to be made and Lurie loves his boy. The only way he’s going to really look hard at his GM is if we completely fail. Losing to the Bengals helps in that manner.

When’s the last time our defense lined up like that and got a free rusher ??

 

 

1999 ?

Had to be Jim Johnson.  We haven't had a creative blitz since.  

Mcnabb was horrendous in the beginning of 2003.  I remember doubting on these boards that he'd ever be an even above average pocket passer.  Then 2004 happened.  Then Mcnabb just declined from there.

These are just 2 games.  Wentz is better than this.  But we also need to set the bar higher than Mcnabb.

So is Laviska Shenault on the Jags. Looking forward to watching him play. Too bad Howie can’t pick good players. This rookie UDFA Robinson on the Jags looks pretty good too. 

Tough matchup for shenault tonight. Going up against Howard. 

byron Jones out should help the team though. Jones should’ve signed here he’d fit right in

There are varying degrees of suckage.

We just are in the top 5 right now

I think the Wentz ceiling is his 2027 level.

Floor (consistently) should be last year due to dreck around him.

I think that's a pretty fair bar to want to hold him to.

Obviously there will be outliers and hopefully that's what we are currently seeing now.

So he's injured?

Most were, but he didn’t have anything crazy going on. Certainly not like drafting someone coming off a torn Achilles. He is super aggressive which lead to a lot of his issues. But Shenault and Chark along with Cole is legit. I’m actually jealous of the jags receivers, crazy. It’s unbelievable how low we have sunk and Howie needs to face the music at seasons end. 

They also have Dede westbrook. The skill position players for the jags offense are not the problem. The issues is oline and if minshew is good enough. And their defense is trash.

Yup. Out with an Achilles and groin injury

Chark being out is huge.

Yup that’s minshew’s favorite target. It’s a big loss for them. Allows shenault to work against the backup CB more.

Favorite target and only real speed threat who typically opens it up a bit more for the others.

If the Eagles somehow manage to lose to the Bengals on Sunday, does that trigger the fire sale? Or do they wait until they lose the next 3 after that?

Westbrook can open it up. He has good speed over the top. He’s not as reliable as chark. Not as good of hands or route runner. 

That was a bad drop by Conley.  

We should trade for Conley

Brutal. Especially when Aikman was just hyping him up to be the guy that needs to step up with Chark being injured.

The Jaguars' pass rush isn't great.

Tends to happen when you trade your best one right before the start of the season.

Yeah, they had a lot of talent on that defense not long ago.

Same year we won the super bowl. 3 years in the nfl is an eternity. 

Any chance we get a sneak peak of Tua in the 4th? The rout is on!
