Think we can get to 3k? Only 4 teams in NFL history have ever done that.

Safe to say we would have shattered the all-time record (3296), if we had adjusted the offense earlier.

The Titans might have more yards too if King Henry didn't get hurt.

St. Nick is Coming to town!!!

 

I may be wrong but if the Vikings and Saints both lose their next 2 games and the Eagles win their next two, the Eagles will have clinched a playoff spot and could rest a bunch of key guys against Dallas.  I'd be OK with that.

It was a 1st rounder and the follow-up discussion centered around "that is too much" ... much like the similar suggestion to trade for Cousins.  Neither of them are worth more than a 3rd.

Thank you Matt. I too have no interest in hunting down a post that illustrates the  amount of crap the poor wall has had flung against it lately.

Ahhh...further reading reveals I set off a minor firestorm with my hyperbole.

Such is life....

Eagles 33, Giants 13

Eagles are hosting a 4-10 team on their 3rd string QB, and the debacle of 3 weeks ago should still be fresh in their minds at kickoff.  This game can’t be close

Bold predictions — Hurts 300+ yards passing, Eagles 5+ sacks

Eagles 34 - 9

Bold prediction - Sanders has two 30-yard+ TD runs.

No it's not. Not for either pick. The Eagles making the playoffs this year just to get their asses bounced in round one because their defense has massive holes and Hurts sucks is great for beer sales in the area but pointless. Getting a higher pick so they can improve the team is better for them actually winning down the line. But but but anything can happen. Dream on. What has generally happened the last few years is the person they want gets taken just before them in multiple rounds. Take the lumps this year and build for the future. They have to play to win. Wise people don't have to root for it.

Too bad that the virus isn't cooperating.

It's scandalous to say, but I think I'd rather the Cowboys win this week. It gives us better options moving forward if we somehow lose to Washington next week. We could still squeak in if we beat the Giants and Cowboys, while the Vikings lose to the Rams and Packers. We'd need the Saints to lose at least once too which is why it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if the Dolphins win on Monday.

Dallas is already in so who cares what they do between now and the playoffs? I'd just rather have the Redskins fall further behind, though to be honest they still have a decent shot to make it if they lose to Dallas since their tiebreak scenarios are very favorable for them.

I see your point, but we are better off if Dallas is locked into #4 going into week 18, resting starters.  They lose and Packers, Bucs, Cards, Rams win makes it more likely.

@LeanMeanGM Eagles 5 TDs = 35 points versus Giants 1 TD + 1 FG = 10 points

@LeanMeanGM My only prediction this season was/is the one above.  I'm reluctant to go back to that well, but am going to do so anyway.  Second time is the charm.

Bonus: Eagles amass over 300 yards rushing.

@LeanMeanGM

Eagles 23-17 

Bonus: Eagles defense scores

Saints only only need to lose one of their next 2 in that scenario.  

Really worried about this game if Sirianni is out.  He doesn't exactly have a veteran staff to take on the duties.

Stoutland isn't a veteran?  In executing a successful running heavy plan, I'm confident that he will do just fine.  I realize he isn't going to be the #1 Offensive voice, but I suspect he will be the most important Offensive voice.

Soutland hasn't been assigned the role of being the stand in HC.  That's essentially going to be Kevin Patullo.

Even if they don't make the playoffs they aren't picking top 15 unless they lose every game, which they won't 

@LeanMeanGM

Eagles - 34

Giants - 11

Bonus: Eagles 75% TOP and >300 rush yds

Eagles 30 Gints 15

Bonus: More Cowbell (Reagor)-4 catches 67 yards to smash last week's season high.

Merry Christmas all.

Is it so much to ask to wait for him to string together two back to back good games? My god.

Are you worried Hurts can’t overcome with his SWAG
