I mean we basically choose to roll out there with a Greg Ward clone anyway.

Yeah, kinda,  but in college,  Jalen Hurts had an extremely high passer rating,  and Ward's passer rating was average.

The whining about playing the Giants on a short week is becoming too much on social media. They should be able to beat Mike Glennon and his 3 foot neck if they played them the next day after Washington. 

And yet they couldn't beat the Giants just a few weeks ago, and their offense only scored 7 points in that game.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on eggnog? I really had never tried it up until a couple years ago and now I love it. Especially if I can get a good eggnog latte at a coffee shop in town. Not like Starbucks but an actual local coffee shop that doesn’t use the artificial crap eggnog

Proper homemade eggnog with good quality eggs (preferably let sit for a day) is delicious. The store bought processed stuff is super gross to me.

Also, Tyree Jackson.   The Eagles have QBs.

Blog, allow me to introduce you to random regular.  He thinks we should revolutionize the NFL by having Tyree Jackson and Jordan Mailata as our primary skill position players.

We definitely need a jumbo package with Mailata at FB.

Yeah COVID is here to stay. The Vaccines dont stop you from getting it or passing it along, only reduces its potency. So no hope of ever containing it. Short of a new treatment and or vaccine to eradicate it, it is just a part of life. 

We can Likely thank those who play around with ramping up viruses from animals to jump to humans. Any other blaming or finger pointing is misplaced anger. 

Also,  those who funded "gain of function" research.

This is one of those things I fully recognize would not work but still 100% want to see.  Like the "Flying V" in a pro hockey game.

Not gonna beat my favorite blog rando who claimed to be a physicist and made the argument Hurts has a strong arm

yep.

I wish we experimented with him at QB instead of Hurts. 

You have to wonder how that would have worked.  There were times when Jackson was at Buffalo that he was talked about as a 1st round QB prospect.  Hurts would be a helluva running back.

It would take a physicist to be able to BS a fabricated but convincing argument that he’s got a strong arm.

I suspect Khalil Tate was way too big a jackarse to keep on an NFL team, but he woulda been more entertaining than Hurts too. Hes way faster. Maybe coulda made a good RB too. We have had 2 running QBs with arm talent who would have been more fun to watch than Hurts. One is long gone. One is a TE now. Never got to see any come close to playing QB for us. But... we got stuck with Hurts.

Washington still won’t have a bunch of their players and they get a short week against Dallas. This could be season ending for them. Eagles have a sick washington team and Mike Glennon. I see the game being moved as a benefit for the Eagles playoff push.

Wonder if they would offer refunds for that stuff.  At least for the game tickets.

I don't know about Primary.

I've mentioned that players like Jackson and Mailata would be excellent in short yardage situations in the backfield.  Goal line,  short yardage, red zone. 

I'd definitely still want Jalen Hurts out there. 

Depending on how well the short yardage / goal line package works,  they could try using it in more situations.  If it works then, then great, but if it doesn't,  it should still be effective in short yardage situations.

Rams game being moved means they will now have to go to Minnesota on only 4 days rest.  That's a game we need the Rams to win.

Rams will be fine for two reasons,  Kirk Cousins, a game he needs to win.

Good news. A few nice cotton blankets and a cup of warm cocoa did the trick.

 

But in all seriousness, it was very scary. Glad to see he should be relatively fine.

YUP,  and the Eagles still can.   Tyree Jackson should be working with Tom House in the offseason.

The Eagles can keep Tyree Jackson, very cheap, whatever those ERFAs and RFAs get.   It really surprised me that no team put Tyree on the roster as a QB.  

It's not hard to see what Tyree did in college by looking at the highlights.   He can throw very far, and there are a lot of TDs,  mostly 50+ yard throws.

If there is going to be an incomplete pass, the best one would be a 60 yard overthrow to a WR who is 50 yards downfield. And if the TE throws a 60 yard TD bomb,  people who are not Eagles fans would appreciate that.

I can tell you from an Arizona perspective from coaches here then that he was a pain in the ass and so was his family/crew. Not sure about his time with the eagles and in the nfl.
