I seriously enjoyed watching the game last night. 2 talented, coherent teams going at it. It was FUN to watch!!!!

I guess for Howie,getting Slay was his "BIG defensive move" for this decade

What makes this even more amazing is that it includes Tankgame……which I wouldn’t count.

Too bad it didn’t happen the season prior.

Yeah.... all coaching,  players don't matter.  

To me... tells me we need talent.  The GM better get some players in here.   Too much depends on Cox and Graham IMO.   " but Joe, Graham didn't play and Cox was shutout "  .... CORRECT! 

Not sure how you can totally say this. I agree we need more talent. But we have an unproven DC. He was the coach I had the most confidence in….but he’s not in the clear here. Gotta do a better job than the last two weeks.

You guys seen the video of Urban Meyer getting grinded on by some young hottie?

with what? We have 2nd, 3rd rate talent because Howie won't get anyone. You can dream about driving a Lambo,but it's tough to do on an Impala budget

Everyone had no problem shredding Schwartz up over it

So the DC makes no difference if there is no talent to work with

Almost??? I used to all the time, until I hit about 50 . Moving from FL didn't help either. The town girl here is taken already

Jalon Smith released by Cowpies

He would want more than the $300 a week Howie is willing to pay

Smith would be an immediate improvement, therefore he will be ignored by Howie. It's how it works around here. He's only 26 and we could have him a long time,so there's another reason we won't 🙄

Because this is where you and I differ.  I want the players first...then I judge the coaching once I feel the players are good enough.  

Green Bay won a SB, I feel that coach isn't good at all...  he had some nice players.   Your boy in KC started out great here when he had some players and is doing well in KC now... that 2005 to 2012  period...I don't think coincidence the success was nowhere near as good.

Agreed... think it's just people get tired of same style.   When he had players here early on, there was talk of him leaving for a head job.  Funny how the players make a difference.     No better example than Phil Jackson in basketball.

The town girl should have enough to go around? lol I mean…………title has to be earned. 

Of coarse players matter. Still can’t just give up. Our D has been shameful the last two weeks though. Gotta be able to adjust some. Gotta think Wilson and Harris were Gannon’s guys to bring in. Have Slay, then brought in Nelson so Maddox could move to the slot. Should Schwartz have just given up when all our CBs were injured? Won a playoff game with that instead.

Be nice to acquire him!!!

Gannon brought in two guys at DB from Indy. Neither did anything. One plays ST. The other didn’t make the cut.

Idk what you are trying to get at?  We differ at many things one being the priority of the defense and what impacts things.   The DL at the time had a nice group with some depth didn't it?   Cox and Graham 3 years younger was a pretty good start, throw in Long and the other guys.  Malcolm Jenkins is another key player.   

Throw this DL without Graham, and Cox struggling and the results wouldn't have been as good.  It's the whole thing, which starts up front.  That said... if you want to say the guys that were brought in on the cheap ( Always satisfying the $$ portion of Lurie/ Howie first)  that Gannon preferred them over the exciting other cheapie options, I won't argue.

Yeah...great job Howie

Isaac Seamulo.... is the only Eagle on his second contract under 30 years old that was drafted by the Eagles.   

But yeah.... Gannon ( if he had much say) bringing in the wrong bottom of the barrel types in 2021 is the big issue...lol.

So you are just stating that we are basically just the weakest personnel defensively in the league. I see the shortcomings of the talent in the D. But also know that our DC has to do a better job. Sure Cox is having a down year….but we have Hargrave kicking butt which Schwartz didn’t have. Graham is out…but we have Sweat kicking in and contributing now. Lost Jenkins but brought in Gannon’s boy Harris. Plus have a legit corner in Slay. 
   Anyway I’m not preaching it’s the best D in the league….I’m just not accepting of them being incapable of doing anything though. Been pathetic! I’m not just letting Gannon slide on that. He needs to get his crap together some here. Especially gotta figure out some kind of redzone D at least. Having your LB matched up against The Cheetah is bad business. AR owned us on that. Having your guy come in at LB and they constantly run at him because he keeps missing tackles is the DC issue. Sure he could use All Pros across the D…I’m not holding the D to that kind of responsibility though. Just gotta stop somebody…sometime. 40 points isn’t acceptable. That’s college bowl game stuff.
