Everyone loves the stupid steelers for some reason

What is the formula then?  Not being a smarta$$.  How do they determine what games to make national.  The Steelers IMO are a national draw so  I would think that comes in to play.  I'd like to think the Eagles are too but we saw how small the coverage was for the Bengals game...then again that was the Bengals and it was CBS if I'm not mistaken. CBS will always be a bigger AFC game.

I'd imagine it goes by TV ratings. I'm assuming the Steelers are a big ratings draw, due to their large fanbase. Being up here in Canada, we get every Bills game (I'm in Toronto, west coast I think draws Seahawks); and then we get a secondary game, usually the one with the most intrigue/highest perceived ratings. We see a lot of Steelers/Packers/Patriots/Cowboys games. Eagles too, but not as much. I bought a package that gives access to every game (similar to Sunday Ticket). But large fanbases lend themselves to high ratings, which is exactly what they're looking for.

Yes!  Central Florida is getting it.

I wouldn't trade a 1st for Julio

I’d trade a first and drive 2+ hours to the Philly airport to pick him up

Not from a talent perspective, but if he's the least productive that would mean he's the worst.

Lamb, Jeudy, Jefferson, Aiyuk have all done more/considerably more. I also know he's hurt.

Ruggs hasn't...so I guess there's that.

I’d have drafted Reagor at 21...they were kind of boxed into that.  But should it really be some surprise at this point when we end up with the least productive WR?

Exactly.  It's all about ratings and both the Steelers and the Eagles are huge draws.  Both have fan-bases all over the country.  And both fan-bases follow their teams closely on TV. 

 

On a side note, I don't think a lot of Eagles fans realize how strong of a fan-base Eagles fans are.  They are easily top 3-5 in the nation in terms of loyalty, TV ratings, merchandising, etc etc.

I'm politically non-partisan/independent, if that's what you're asking.

I’d say top 3 are Packers, Cowboys, Steelers. Eagles could be number 4. 
 

And it’s shocking an Eagles/Steelers game isn’t a nationally televised game

I don't talk Politics. I talk Eagles.  And Moychandizing

Technically, he's not the least productive. He has 5 catches for 96 yards.

 

Ruggs has 4 for 59.

Who on the Eagles has good production but that production doesn't help them win?  I can't think of a player right now off the top of my head.  I would say Miles Sanders but we need those ground yards to move the chains.  He hasn't scored yet or made any really big game changing plays.  The only problem is if Miles isn't in the game we have trash at RB.

Slay?  Keeping his side of the field in order.  On offense, not a soul.  Goedert week one was a candidate

This isn't really accurate. I'm 100 miles east of Springfield Mo but i guarantee i'll get the Chiefs.

They're both CBS games aren't they?

Sweet. TY

So Rudy Ford and TJ Edwards to IR.  The Eagles IR and PS could play against the active 53.

You are using a short term measurement to make a long term assessment.  He's the least productive because he's been on the field the least, not due to his ability, but due to injury.   So, he gets an "Incomplete" grade, nothing else.

I'm not making a long term assessment though, lol. I've repeatedly said I still like the pick, just pointing out that of course, we draft one of the few round 1 WRs who hasn't been producing thus far, be it injury (yes, in this case) or otherwise.

2 open spots.  They need to add a linebacker.  I would assume Craig James gets activated from IR to take Fords place.  

Hilarious. 

Receiver A - First 12 games, 28 catches, 493 yards, 2 TDs. No 100 yard games. No games with more than 4 catches.

 

That was Jerry Rice. Maybe give Reagor more than 4 games to decide that he's a 3rd rounder? 

 

Also, of course Reagor is not going to be Jerry Rice. For those that want to try and connect those dots.

Does it really matter when our replacement level players go to IR and are replaced by replacement level players?

In 2011, I would of. 2012, 2013-well all the way up until probably last year. 

Light years, unsure. Reagor looks like a good 3rd rounder(when he's on the field) 

Jefferson looks like a great top 20 pick

You just contradicted yourself.   Nice job.

Nope, not at all.  I think Craig James shows potential at CB but could he ever be an outside corner?  I'd be happy with anyone to compete with Maddox.

Reagor has 5 receptions in 1.5 games for 96 yards.

Can they take Gerry with them?
