I hated the AJ Dillon pick a couple years ago but he’s been good for GB

Corey Clement, James Connor, and AJ Dillon are 3 guys pretty recently who looked too plodding for the NFL that suddenly became much quicker in NFL strength and conditioning programs. 

Maybe if Toney Hunt had the science of this decade he could have become something.

Eagles are playoff bound.

Whoulda thunk it?

I said a bunch of times in the offseason that this might be a wildcard team while most others trashed the roster and predicted 2-3 wins. Imagine how that went over.

I never expected this team would clinch a playoff spot. With a game to spare even. 

Blows my mind. This time last year I was certain the 2021 season was going to be one of the worst seasons I’ll ever endure as a fan. The fact we are making the playoffs is crazy. We did get lucky by having a fairly soft schedule though

Nobody did, Pre-season Vegas had us at the 4 worst odds for wins.

Great job by the coaches, players, and FO.

Now I hope they do the smart thing and rest up. I know it's "Dallas week" but who cares. Even though we do have a shot to move up a seed.

Please. He missed some throws but he was great in the pocket.

I think the truth is somewhere in between.  He certainly wasn't terrible, hell the game plan is for him to go out there, hand the ball off and not f up with 1 read off PA before dumping it off.  On the other hand, he certainly wasn't great.  He did pretty much nothing all game.  He was average.  I mentioned it earlier, this is a weird year.  The quality of the product that is the NFL that's on the field this year is abysmal.

we did.

On the other hand, Id love to replay that 49ers and Raiders again with our new offensive identity/philosophy. Maybe the Chargers too- we just started running it that week, and howard had 71 yards but there was no Sanders which makes a huge difference.

There may be a few more wins in there.

Good job Eagles.  Shows that the talent was there, coaching was not, until we fixed that issue.

I mean I hate Dallas as much as the next eagle fan but the game is basically a scrimmage now. Plus I think Minshew can win next week

F Dallas week. Rest and heal up.

The advance scouting and game-planing folks shouldn't even bother with this week's game, all hands on deck preparing for the Wild Card.

Ugh. I agree with you here. Mailata and Dickerson have been awesome additions to go with Kelce, Lane and the revolving door at RG.

Yea agreed. Our season might be way different had they committed to the running game earlier. Could of even had a run at NFC East crown

Eagles won a sloppy game. D was just good enough.

cow pads lose. Always a good,thing

Both fins and colts lose.  Good. Hopefully a repeat next week.

Looks like Green Bay may win clinching a playoff berth for the Eagles and killing the cowpads chance of a #1 seed. 
 

Good day overall.

Agreed. Stoutland needs another raise

Blood is flowing to the right places.

Go Eagles!

Jefferson today is how he would be here if we drafted him. QB matters a lot.

He does. Didn't he find JM as well?

Plus I think Minshew has a good shot against Dallas scrubs anyway.

yep. 

Its easy for haters to just point to the weak schedule and figure we defaulted in to a bunch of wins. But if we continued playing like we did when we jumped out to a 2-5 start, we could have lost a bunch of those games to bad teams because we were just as bad as anyone. And I was expecting it at that point. 

But then they turned it around. We didnt JUST win because we played bad teams. We won because we became better than bad teams. And we couldnt say that at the start of the year.

Haven't really seen it discussed yet but even though Hurts was sacked only once today, the line wasn't that great.  Mailata looked to have one of his worst games of the year.  I think I even saw him get completely pancaked.  

One guy I always liked and hated that the Redskins have is Matt Ioannidis.  Loved him at Temple.  He's not dominant but he's just one of those annoying guys who always seems to cause havoc.  

Who's ready for some Minshew Mania next week?
