Finally bought myself the last piece for my football watching space... 50" TV and wall mount.  Gotta love Black Friday pricing.   

That will free up the entertainment center/fireplace cabinet top so that my N scale trains will finally have a home for Christmas!!!   Of course, that means now I'll have to make them a dedicated layout that fits that space.  Fun project in the future coming!!!

Put in Foles

I think Sirianni was told by both Howie and Jeffery to throw almost all game solely to find out what Hurts can bring to the table in every possible situation. Jeffery said they want a passing offense for the future. Once Hurts showed what he can and can not do Howie and Jeffery knew Hurts was not the "passing" offense QB they wanted to build the future around and told Nick he can now take over and bring his offense to life. 

Really makes sense. Lurie himself said they were not looking to fix this in year one and would take 2-3 years. What we are seeing now is Nick's offense. But now Howie and Jeffery know Hurts can not win with his arm when needed. I'd still expect a new QB in the near future.

This may upset the Squirts for Hurts clan but he is not the type of QB Lurie wants to build his future plans around. 

Wow, that is some real tinfoil hat stuff.

Wonder if another team would be dumb enough to trade for him…

I get that coaches and players are trying to win. I expect that.

where process needs to come in is consistent and iterative improvement in scouting both for drafting and free agents.

the GM has to keep the long view to balance it and Howie has failed miserably there since the sb win. Fatal conceit.

Uh oh. Aikman just said Redskins on air. Will he be yanked off the air, tarred and feathered before end of game or will they make that the post game show?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

To me they will always be the Redskins. I will call them by no other name. 

But yes he should be tarred and feathered anyway just for being an ex Cowgirl

I tried to find some true redskins gear for my dad for Christmas. It's f'ing expensive.

It's kind of funny -- even with that miss that the Eagles traded him to IND, and will receive what is currently the 195th pick overall in the upcoming draft.  Granted they also included a 7th, but it's sort of like a draft-day trade that would get made anyway to move 206 to 195 ...

About to say can you really count anything past the 4th or even more so a 3rd round as a "miss" anyways? 

Bears win better for Eagles.  Let’s get a FG Dalton.

I usually consider 5th round and beyond to be lottery picks; 4th round I still get irked when I see guys like Pumphrey and Hollins getting selected.

From @mattwill's list above it illustrates the Eagles scouting staff has been able to find some good gems after pick #120 overall:

Maddox 125, Sweat 130, Mailata 233, Driscoll 145, Watkins 200, Gainwell 150 have all acquitted themselves very well considering where they were drafted.

 

The Eagles drafting issues recently have been getting 1st and 2nd round picks right -- shaking an 8-ball would have likely given better results.

Stay Detroit, Detroit.

Yeah fire the bears coach lol

Bears W = Good for us.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Philosophical question .... 

Is 0-16-1 better than 0-16?

Dan Campbell has to be one of the worst coaching hires in recent memory.

Just awful from the jump.

And he's calling plays instead of Anthony Lynn now 

Not the best year to have top 3 picks IMO
