I don't know. All those Atlanta fans who were adamant in March 2020 saying if you deal "Julio" I'm "out"?

They're 0-4 right now. If I were Howie I'd definitely pick up a phone

The fanbase basically bullied them into signing Gurley , etc etc etc . They haven't gotten anywhere listening to "the fans".

Heck a blind man could see that Gurley was overpaid in L.A.

Jones is a great WR

He can stay in Atlanta. Considering out cap situation we're better off standing pat for this year.

Our prime purpose in life is to help others.  And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

If you want others to be happy practice compassion.  If you want to be happy practice compassion. 

"Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your a**”

- Carson Wentz after playing the steelers this Sunday, probably

"When silence threatens to take the power of decision out of our hands one looks into history for the courage to speak even in an unpopular cause. Looming as ethical giants are those extraordinary of men, the Hebrew prophets. They did not believe that conscience is a still, small voice. They believed that conscience thunders or it does not speak at all. They were articulate, passionate, and fearless, attacking injustice and corruption whether the guilty be kings or their own unrepentant people. Without physical protection, scornful of risks evoked by their unpopular messages, they went among the people with no shield other than truth.”

Who said it?

 I have taken great comfort from the scriptures and they are the core of my personal belief systems. 

They probably have no more of a place in the blog than the political stuff.

Certainly not trying to censor as it's not my place to do so but many here do not share those beliefs and when this stuff gets posted the ensuing debate and comments will not be good.

Consider this "football" related because if you folks don't Wake Up and snap out of the Obey your Master stage you're all in.

You might never be allowed to go see another football game again, let alone , see a movie , go fishing, have a draft poured in a pub.

You quote a USA Today article to say someone is being manipulated?

Did this place turn back into political BS?

<sigh>
 

Desperation must be setting in when you start posting fake tweets in the blog about what some freshman congresswoman fake said.

Looks like the Steelers run D is pretty good.  Ebron isn't a scary TE though we may make him look like one.  With Slay we can at least minimize one of their WR.  I think the key will be turnovers.   It would be nice to have our first turnover free game of the season.  With their front 7 and our offensive line I would lime more heavy sets, max protect, and try to keep balance with run/pass.  Would love to see us come out with extra lineman, 2 TE, 1 WR.  Don't want to see too many 5WR.  If Sanders is healthy would like to see him get 20+ touches.

I would've said the same thing about Higbee before he barbecued us for 3 TDs.

Apologies to the faithful.

Like I said, just want the "EAGLES" to win this week 3-2.

The Rest. It's an invitation for "Our Friends" to come over to where such things are hosted. I have deleted the offending content. Not counting the AOC thing because that's "Football related".

 Read the article.  The reporter looked at multiple sources to see if AOC tweeted what it was alleged she tweeted and determined that the tweet was a hoax.  There are facts and non-facts.  If you would like to go around believing lies because they make you feel better, that's fine. It's just sad to see how easily manipulated people are by these things.

Oh god this is wonderful.

Do you really have anything other than I don't like the Truth, give me a second I'll write a second script?

See that's better now !

No wonder there's no Mural of IVERSON.

I don't want to hear from anyone who is jumping on the Jefferson bandwagon now, because when I was beating the drum for him pre-draft, they were no where to be seen.  I was basically on an island saying that Jefferson wasn't a slot only WR.   The only ally I recall was BigEFly.  The rest were telling me how he was going to be terrible, slot only, etc.  So, as the driver of the bandwagon, even I am not mentioning him other than to say... yeah, he's showing pretty well right now and not as a slot WR only.

Fair enough.  You called it; Jefferson was your guy all throughout the off-season.  I've just seen so many guys like Jefferson (with incredible stats in college, etc) never duplicate it in the NFL.  But so far, he looks to be the "real deal".

Yup, Jefferson was pretty much the consensus pick where we were if Ruggs and Lamb were gone on the old board, its ridiculous to say people wanting him now is a band wagon, I'd have probably taken Tee Higgins and Aiyuk over Reagor as well.

Reagor was 8th or 9th on most WR prospect rankings, and it is sadly typical of Eagles drafting the last decade that the guy that smart money said we should've taken where we were is a home run and the guy big brain football genius Howie took is a regular in the medical room.

Nah, Reagor was the top ranked "speed/big play" guy on just about everyone's board after Ruggs.  He would have been likely picked within 10 picks of the Eagles' pick had the Eagles not taken him.

 

 

 

 

That said, let's see how this season and some of next season pans out for these guys before coming to conclusions.

I liked the idea of deafting Jefferson but i'm gonna see what Reagor can do before i jump on ANY bandwagon.

Next we'll be hearing about his theory on how Aliens stole her brain and replaced it with somebody who can't play Poker worth a shite.
