Funny you mentioned that. My wife ordered 10 KN95 masks from China through Amazon because she couldn't get any here in the country. It took 5 weeks for them to arrive and when we opened them up, every one of the bands that go around the ear were torn on one side. Unusable!  There is a sucker born everyday and I am still finding that out at 67 years of age.

I went to CVS,they had signs everywhere to please wear a mask when at the pharmacy counter.NP, I can understand that.Also a sign to use the provided hand sanitzer(that was empty).SO I asked where both items were."Sorry we don't have any" OK wonderful WTH???? So I asked where I can get those things(shoulder shrug)

Also at CVS.They have tape on the floor between 2 aisles(6ft apart).SO I am standing 6 feet back between the aisles to get my scrips.2 people cut in front of me,when the 3rd tried I said "the line is BACK HERE!" So instead of walking down the next aisle over and getting behind me,they walked right by me.Some people should not be a part of the gene pool

IDK man,this is a pretty big leap risking your franchise QB,if he can't get it right.If it was RT,not quite as bad,at least Wentz can see it coming.A blind side belt is the worst kind

At some point JP is going to retire(if we even bring him back)so we are going to have to take the leap of faith in a new LT... Can’t know how good(or bad)player can be until they actually get a chance to play.

Dillard really didn’t do that bad in his games at LT does he still need to get better of course

We have been a pretty spoiled team when it comes to the LT position went from Tra Thomas to Jason Peters over the last 2 decades...Will say kinda weird not being so secure at the spot but it was going to happen eventually 

RIP Don Shula, 90

Ham said he had the worst QB sack rate,that doesn't give me confidence yet

Yeah,I had alot of SMH moments this draft lol(as most did).So,I suppose we will have to see if these were bad picks all over again

So here is "the gig" as I see it.We got Hurts in here,a "scrambling" QB on the order of a Jackson/Wilson.Someone who can escape a pass rush.WHY??? Just putting 2 and 2 together,we aren't all that confident in Dillard.That is Wentz's blind side.A big hit and he is out again. If Dillard is a "fail" at least we have an escaping type QB we don't have to pay big for.I don't see getting Hurts as a bash on Wentz as much as I see it as a bash on Dillard,which now makes me wonder why,if we have questions about Dillard,we didn't select a LOT early.rather than DO that,we got an escape artist that may well have to finish the season(again)

Checking the SI draft grades for the first 3 picks I found-----------------:Eagles A-,D,B  for Dullaz-A+,A+,A-

Eagles rumored to swap 6th round picks for Fournette with Jags

They are saying he fell asleep at meetings when he wasn't late to them.... May be an issue...

I am just the messenger(this really goes with what I have been saying that we are good at LATE picks and UDFA's and poor when it counts). Our picks vs COMPOSITE big boards,which is not LAW,but an indicator.  1)Reagor-reach-ranked 28th-so at 21 it's not terribly disgusting although JJ would have been a slight steal(other top WR's were off the board) 2) Hurts-reach-ranked 74th we took him at 53 3) Davion Taylor- severe reach-not on the top 143   4) K'von Wallace-slight value,ranked 109th,we got him at 127. Best steal pick-Wanogho. Ranked 75th,we got him at 210

PS I did not do the others,just used the top 143 composite

Bored? Or tired of putting the whole team on himself while they screw around losing other good players and keep losing?(aka dejected)

I would do this in a heartbeat,not as a threat to Sanders,but as a complimentary piece.Not sure he would like to do that.I suspect he would want to be the lead back on a WINNING team,so that may be the real issue as to how he would be used.Don't want anyone here who doesn't want to play.If he thinks this through it would definitely extend his career

I am sure they would compliment each other as Ajayi and Blount did

If I was the Pats,I would be all over this,especially if I have to start Stidham

For a 6th swap(heck I would give up my 6th alone without the swap) and if he(and Sanders) are ok with RBBC,thats a no brainer for me

LOL,BTW I had Fournette for us in that draft,as others did also.Older,wear on that tread,but still useful in the RBBC approach

Dallas had Zeke suspended. That suspension could have gone either way honestly. If he wasn’t suspended their fortune might have changed that season. They won the East the next season. Then last year they whooped us in the first game. They were in charge and in control. Then Dak got hurt. It was his throwing arm. It was a huge factor. Can’t lie. 
 So I’m not sure we are sitting on top of them all that high and mighty and can blame injuries on our side and say they were healthy. 

I know... one or two guys and Dallas gets everything changed.    For us .... we like to blame the GM when our 4th string guys struggle????     Just looking at it evenly... How many games did Wentz miss compered to Dak?    How many games did we lose at RB compared to Zeke?????   How many WR games were missed compared to Cooper?     On the OL... they lose their LT for a couple games ... it all falls apart?  Peters wasn't exactly the picture of health was he??   They lose Frederick for a year... but never played hurt or never missed a scheduled game.   We had Kelce, Brooks and Lane in and out and playing injured.    Defensively ... we had CBs missing all over the place.  LBs changing all the time.  The DL had a bunch of serious injuries.

Yeah... Zeke was suspended and Dak got hurt in one game...... yeah.... it's pretty close.   LOL

 while I am all for a great bargain,it's difficult to watch great players go to other teams.it's very frustrating

Imagine you are a fan of the other teams..... you get all the players you want... yet this team from Philly always ends up going farther than you????     What is the thing that matters for fans?

Winning games or constructing rosters?     I'd rather win games ... but hey.... imagine being a fan of Dallas.... must be awesome watching the hype train every year with all these great young players ..... 9-7 ... 9-7 ... 9-7 ... 9-7 ... 9-7  ....etc. since 1996 those 2 playoff wins are stuff of legend!     But hey... they win in late April all the time.  

Wow.... can you imagine.... 24 years pass and only 2 playoff wins?    I guess every year you look forward to April instead of January?    Win that draft baby!!!!   

24 seasons from 1996 to 2019
 

Dallas  =

Wins = 202
Playoff appearances = 10
playoff wins =  4
NFC title game appearances = 0
Superbowl appearances = 0
Superbowl wins     =    0  

Eagles  =

Wins = 212         .............................................  10 more 
Playoff appearances = 14  ...........................   4 more
playoff wins = 14   ........................................ 10 more
NFC title game appearances = 6 .................  6 more
Superbowl appearances  = 2  ......................  2 more
Superbowl wins =          1  ...............................1 more

 

But Dallas wins in April ... congrats!  

They lost an all pro C.... replaced him with a 4th round pick   ... they are better
They lost the top CB in FA  ... they replaced him with a 2nd round pick  ... they are better
They lost a good experienced slot WR .... they replaced him with a rookie without standout speed or size .... they got better
They got a $7 mil backup QB ... when their QB never missed a game in 4 years .... they got better.

This might explain the logic as to why come the fall, things don't seem to workout for them?   

Eagles ...

had a weakness for speed , especially at the WR spot ...................................not addressed 
injuries at DT  hurt the pass rush and forced them to scheme vs the run..... not addressed
Had a need for a good CB to counter top WRs ............................................... not addressed

This might explain the logic as to why come fall, things end up working out a little better?      But according to " draftguideusa.com"  Dallas won the draft.   LOL   Howie needs to learn from Jerry and this long string of success!
