Good job, Dolphins...at least some folks have their heads screwed on straight...

 

I can't even imagine what 65,000 people sitting inches from each other could do if there are a handful of infected people at games. 

It's been that way since he went to Phase 3 two weeks ago.

Steelers are listed as 7-point favorites, wow.  They’ve beaten the Giants by 10, the Broncos by 5 and HOU by 7.  Haven’t scored more than 28 points in any of those games.

I’m not a betting man but if I was I think I’d be calling my bookie on that one.

I dont know how someones opinion can be wrong. 

He's come off, especially recently with the arrogance of Belichek with out the Rings. 

Snotty comments "have you played football professionally" Have you played QB. Have you called plays? When asked if he takes in game suggestions from his staff he laughs and says, no thats why im the head coach

when asked if he would give up play calling he flips sh!t. 

 

You’re conflating his interactions with the media with his interactions with his coaching staff. That’s quite the leap.

You are free to feel whatever you like about Doug. You can like or dislike him that's fine.

Suggesting he his heavy handed and likely ignoring feedback from coaches when all evidence points to that not being true is my issue.

I get it, you do not like Doug. There are probably a multitude of reason for why someone might feel that way. Criticisms should be based on facts though. 

Don't like his commitment to the run. That's subjective but fair to argue.

So question his play calling, loyalty to players and coaches, clumsy press conferences are all reasonable. I am sure there are many others as well. I don't share your dislike of Doug. I probably wouldn't agree with most of your opinions but you are entitled to them.

I do take issue with implying he is ego driven or coaches in a me first way. There is no evidence to support that and plenty of evidence to the contrary.

This isn't your clone that you are arguing with in an attempt to get more "likes" is it? I mean I've never seen a guy be more wrong about everything he agues about.

Carson running the ball is one of those unmentioned factors that IMO is part of the answer to the question "whats been wrong with Carson?"

I think they screwed around with his mental process, understandably, to reduce his risk of injury.  But as Carson said, its part of his instinct, and to me, to ask him to fight those instincts has proven unsuccessful.  

Its led--in part--to him scrambling around aimlessly and trying to stay in the pocket, when he has been much more effective just relying on his instinct and making a quick decision to run.

Is there honestly a need for Vinny Curry on this team other than Super Bowl nostalgia?  He's been a good Eagle, he loves Philly and it's a great story.  Who do you release to bring him back?

You dont listen to his press conference lol 

Ok , like I said, if we win this week, am I allowed to say Doug's alright?

Just checking the goalposts because like everything else in Philly, they seem to be "mobile" .

The curve hasn't flattened. US averages about 1000 deaths a day, we have about 4 % of the world's population and around 22% of the cases, while other countries with denser population have less cases and deaths per capita, other countries have zero cases.

In 1917 the spanish flu killed more people in it's second wave after people had relaxed, flu season is ahead and with it possible second wave of covid.

Downplaying a virus that has killed over 200,000 americans because one wants to watch football is selfish and irresponsible.

Wear a damn mask, wash your hands social distance. It's not difficult and it's socially responsible!

Curry's a great run defender at end which Sweat and Avery are not. Curry most definitely 'serves a purpose'.

Amidst all the Mailata hype, I keep thinking about him at RT.  If Dillard can be salvaged, then Dillard/Mailata future bookends might be pretty good.

Lane Johnson's health and availability are starting to deteriorate.  It's easy to talk about trading guys like Desean, Malik, Ertz, and even Cox/Brooks for juicy picks.  And that's why they won't be traded; no one is giving up high picks for them and their contracts.  You aren't getting something for nothing.  If you actually want to get a really good draft pick and clear cap $$$ off the books, then you need to rip off a band-aid.  This offseason, after Lane comes back and plays at a high level, Lane might be a good nominee to be that band-aid to rip off.

Lane getting injured just recently started though. It could very well be that he just hasn't had the time to heal fully

@In2football Eagles 22 Steelers 18

I've always had a good feeling about this game, and I guarantee I would have picked the Eagles to win this week even if they had lost to the 49ers.

Never liked re signing him this year.

He's been a good soldier and eagle and I appreciate his contributions and I think the eagles would be better served putting resources into other players.

What's Moroni have to say on the matter?

Said it before and I'll say it again? How to we win?

90 yards of offense, 9-7 victory?

Do we win 52-0 and look dominate(Side not, Doug has never scored 40 or 50 points since Reich/Defilip lefT)

do they win in spite of Doug(which is what I think happened against the 9ers) as every chance Doug got he tried something fancy, goofy and it didnt work. 

I say LET's WIN 3-2

Agreed.  I'm guessing we will see Toohill possibly cut with the hopes they can get him back on the PS.  Up until last week I would think Avery was on his way out but I hope they continue to build a role for him.

The flag he's carrying is called the title of Liberty, it translates in a hebrew egyptian dialect to say," Wear your damn mask!"😉

Not sure Too hill makes it if cut, teams are always looking for pass rushers and he could possibly play in a 34 or a 43,I wouldn't risk a promising pass rusher for curry whom most likely is out of the league next year.

Curry may be a better run defender at this point in his career than some of the other younger DEs on the roster but keeping curry this year over youth weakens the potential future for present minimal gains.
