I just found our next OL draft pick. Not a RT but he has to be added to the OL when Johnson is gone. Plays for Iowa, his name is Kade Pieper, and that is pronounced Peeper. Need him.

I think the passing game could take time to develop. Lemon in particular after missing time. But I think the run game is going to return to form and the DL should absolutely dominate a weak Washington OL.

Birds: 27

Commies: 13

Bonus: Jordan Davis sack

WE MADE IT!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO!!!!!!!! WELCOME 2026. It's another "Even" year so you know what that means. Another big run to the Super Bowl and Trilogy against the Chiefs? lol, we'll see but based on the pattern, that looks to be in the cards. It's also the start of the season so you know what that means. Undefeated in home openers the last 5 seasons. 34-6 over the first 10 games the last 4 years. It starts today. It's Division game so yes anything can happen. But we've had Washington's number over the last several years though they got us here or there. I see the Bird returning to 2024 energy were we are a power running and defensively dominate with some play action passing sprinkled in. So Saquon will go off, Jalen will go off, Smitty will go off and Goedert will go off. So similar to previous years just no AJ. Jalen will get the new guys involved but he will go to the people he trust most. They got this, I'm not worried. Eagles roll in week 1. Jalen will tie Roger Staughbach as the most consecutive Season Opening wins (Staugbaugh - 8-0, Jalen - 5-0). Washington will score but not much. Maybe a late TD when it's already over or an early TD before they get shut down the rest of the game.

BIRDS - 34

WASHINGTON - 13

JALEN - RUSH TD

SAQUON RUSH TD

SMITTY - TD

GOEDERT - TD

JAKE - FGx 2

DEFENSE: Multiple Sacks, INT, Fumble

The name is a great scheme fit, and he’s the kind of OLmen I'd expect for OZ but at 290lb might be a C only.

Sure, why not? 12-5 with Super Bowl Trophy number 3. Going with the every other year Super Bowl appearance since 2022.

If I were a sports better I might throw some money at a Tank Bigsby anytime TD. Our pass catchers might take some time to click and Washington is OLD. Loved Styles in the draft but in general they're older guys and lack speed. I think the run game and short passes to hit guys in space will be the move today.

Excited for game day finally here LFG.

Yeah, he’s special athletically. The only issue I see is that I think his best position is center and I’m not sure he’d be great at guard next to Cam due to his size.

The other guy I’m keeping my eye on is Miami OL Samson Okunlola. He’s got a great combination of size (6’6” 335), length, and athleticism. Has experience at both guard and tackle, so ideal versatility with the tools to play either position at a high level in the NFL.

Eagles won't see Garrett

Neither will I....I have tickets for that game!

was just about to post that. we get the rams week 4

Boy, the vibes for the offseason champs Rams and Patriots sure changed quick

Getting him right is the right move. If it's truly just a cleanup procedure he should be fine before mid season.

Stafford looking cooked is WAY more concerning for them imo. Way too early to tell but if the decline is real hoo buddy it could get ugly over there.

Have a feeling that Herbert is about to have a career year under McDaniel.

Its recorded.

I look forward to all the rational reactions to the Eagles first offensive drive today.

TD or bust

Honestly, I've said it a few times we won't know what they are until weeks 5-6.

While I'm not expecting the offense to look good today, the most "sports thing" would be for the offense to look great today because virtually everybody is expecting the offense to start off slow, even those who think long term it'll look good. Whenever everyone thinks something is going to happen the opposite usually happens so watch the Eagles come out and drop 38 today.
