I'd be afraid to bet on the 2021 Eagles but two games stand out to me.

Jets -1.5 I would take the Eagles

WFT +1.5 I would take WFT

Boy, sure am glad Nick is letting the players run the team.

I get that feeling too but I don't know how the organization would be able to justify it. He'd have to be reallllllly bad.

They will probably just hire Eric Bienemy and the media will be fawning over it so much they won't bother asking about the Siriani.

Players won RPS and get the summer off. 

I'd be interested to know who these "leaders" are though since Nick's been preaching that every position is in a competition and we can't name starters.

If I had to guess...Kelce, Cox, Graham.

What's more annoying is how much they are pushing "learning".  You can only learn so much about a scheme and football in meetings and such.  You need to be on the field in live action, ESPECIALLY if this defense is going to be this positionless scheme.  

I really just don't get it and I'll continue to not get it.  As players, you have a brand new staff, an entirely different scheme and your job depends on you succeeding on the field under this new staff.  The new coach claims competition is the number one quality he wants in a player.  Well guess what coach, your players just told they don't want to compete and you said OK!!! 

I'm probably overreacting but this is not a good look for Sirianni.  

 

If the new plan gets more guys in the building, then it may be the better option.

There are pros and cons to it. You get the whole team in the building for a longer period than if they skipped the voluntary and just showed up for mandatory camp. This "on field learning with no 7v7 or 11v11's" sounds super soft though.

Yea, kind of a no win situation when it comes down to it.  I still don't like it.  

Sirianni- " I want guys who love ball and want to compete"

Eagles leaders- "We'll show up only if we don't have to practice."

Sirianni- "where do I sign?"

The Scott (Josiah) trade is one of those just making the better sorts of trades.  Houston likely didn't fit the Gannon mould and they brought competition for Maddox in. Sirianni's thing.

Houston was a no name guy who never took a snap in the NFL and more then likely never will. I don't think he even matters. 

So in turn we gave up a 6th round pick for a 22 year old player who was a mid 4th round pick last year on a cheap 3 year deal. Kinda makes sense to me honestly. Very low risk trade with a possible reward in it. Gannon was a very good DB coach, I trust him bring the best out of these DBs and his input. 

Man oh man really dragging ass after shot 2 yesterday

It’s a bad look for a 4 win team to be obsessing over this stuff.  As the great Elon Musk said, no one ever did anything great while counting the hours of their work week.  But it doesn’t matter; their record will speak for itself.  Let them do whatever the hell they want.  Either it works or we get a top 3 pick.  

IIRC from peripheral prior posts, @vikas83 has been involved with Elon in the past with a negative impression per @TEW, so hopefully this goes off topic in an interesting way.

Pfizer?   Yeah. Made me feel like I was on a 50% battery for about a half a day.  

Moderna. Thankfully I took off today because I was in bed till about 2. Finally mustered up the energy to go for a walk and get food. It’s like a bad hangover with a sinus infection and slight fever on top. Haven’t felt this sick in years

Get my second one on Saturday morning.  Sounds like I get a ready made excuse to sit in the recliner and watch baseball all weekend.

That is so fitting for my current job situation. I’m getting drilled for not recording my hours and accused of not working enough hours despite turning out great results. I’m going to email my beotch boss that quote and see what she says. 

If it gets us less injuries in the regular season then I'm all for it. I'm open to anything to stop with the injuries. 3 years of significant injuries was insane

Average for a qb who keeps their job these days (without bothering to look it up) is about 3750/25/10 with a qb rating over 90.

If Hurts were to put up those numbers along with, say, 600 yards rushing, which seems reasonable, that'd be pretty darn good.

Did you drink a ton of water yesterday? That's what I did on and I had no real ill-effects. I think I actually felt a little worse after the first shot.
