And thank you for keeping track of it each week 

GreenD is smoking you

Hightower is not a first or even second round pick (not even close) of course other higher picks are going to play better right now. Once Reagor gets back you'll see one right here in Philly doing it.

If higher picks play better simply because they are higher picks what's JJAws deal?

Interesting explanation about that final Claypool TD. 

I can't stomach watching that play again. I didn't realize they were in double zero personnel. Gerry literally had no reason to even be on the field then. That somehow makes this worse than it already was.

 

This is why getting Reagor/Jackson back is so important. Having speed WRs that can stretch out the defense makes it easier on RBs/TEs.

Spare me with this. It doesn't take a HOF'er to see the obvious mismatch and exploit it. Even the terrible broadcast team instantly picked up on Gerry vs Claypool. It is absolutely Schwartz fault and if the Offense lines up in a way you weren't expecting with an enormous mismatch on a must stop play, you call a timeout. 

That’s what I was thinking let’s stop giving Ben so much credit and over analyzing this play. 
Ben saw the eagles matching up the NFLs worst linebacker against his WR who was on fire at that point. Is there really more to it than that?  

That weak a$$ cover 2 near the redzone against 5 WRs and Nate Gerry in the middle pretending to be a linebacker was the true tragedy. If you want to run cover 2 in that situation you do it in the dime with 6 DBs who have speed and can run those routes with the WRs. Not Nate freaking Gerry who was beat almost immediately. I still blame Schwartz.

Come on Joe, trade for him for a conditional 7th. You wanted him!

OK, so clearly we all hate the Cowboys and Jerry Jones.  The injury to Dak was bad.  Dak to me seems like a really decent human being.  I think it's ridiculous that this is the mindset people have today though.  There are multiple writers putting this out there that Jerry Jones has wronged Dak by not signing him.  Dak had every opportunity in the world to sign a contract and decided not to.

So why did he decide not to? No one knows the exact details or negotiations. Jones publicly kept bringing up players needing to take a hometown discount during negotiations. So if he was constantly low balling him or not fully committing, then it's on Jones.

The same guy who purposely tried to hurt Carson last week. Karma is a B.

I believe so.  F that guy.

Looking at the Eagles draft there really is only 1  player making any contribution at all. (Driscoll)  Well maybe Wallace too. Can't blame Reagor because of the injury but drafting Hurts who was never gonna see more that a few gadget snaps per game and Taylor who can't get on the field even with some of the poorest LBs playing ahead of him is reason enough to get someone fired.

Reagor will be. That said first year players how many should make a contribution? 

Does anyone have any idea when Reagor will be back?

@greend

What's your guess for the next MegaMillions and Powerball numbers?

Even with the free release, look at much faster Fulgham looks than the rest of the WRs.

This is a pretty routine catch that exceptional receivers across the league make on a weekly basis given how good the throw was placed by Wentz. Our eyes have just been so scarred by crappy WR play the past few years that when a guy on this team makes a catch like that he looks like Calvin Johnson.

Some time November is the most i've heard. Probably after the bye. Right now he's at almost 3 weeks post surgery. After the bye it will be 7 weeks.

Positives for the game.

1.) Wentz looking a lot better

2.) Mailata

3.) Sanders

4.) Fulgham

5.) We hung in there with an undefeated team in their home and with a few less bad calls might have won.

 

My question on Mailata though is he fools gold kinda like Vaitai was when we won the Super Bowl? Is he getting a lot of help that was kinda not noticed by us? @justrelax 

My sense of Mailata is that he wore down as the game progressed. I don't mean physically overpowered but rather, he tired. It's really hard to develop stamina in practice and side drills. Playing a full game is a challenge that he is not yet up to. He handled the speed rush early but he couldn't get out there late. 

As far as bad calls, I think both teams got screwed. The refs were awful.

I'd expect something fron the first 3 picks. Anything lower than thet is icing on the cake.

In the case of Hurts he NEVER was gonna see the field unless Wentz got hurt.

Do you feel better about Taylor after reading this?
