3 days after Hurts went 6/6, 80 yards, 2 TDs and a perfect 158.3 passer rating and the blog is still trying its hardest to nit pick and paint it as a bad showing. 

Once again, an NFL drive can only end in 1 TD.

Yet, certain posters still obsess about a QB that isn't even on the team.  

I suspect it hasn't been announced yet.  

We talking about BDN?!

Who?  Afan, BigEfly, Thrive or RTK?  Be specific.  

The moron that has to talk about Wentz in literally every post he makes, despite it having nothing to do with what's being said. Obvious troll is obvious. Eazyeaglez

I'm waiting for game 1, I think defenses have hurts pegged and will defend him the same way the BUCS did, if he struggles against that I won't be surprised if he shows he can beat it I'll be beyond surprised.

There will be some of that, but very few defenses have the personnel (and speed) the Bucs defenders did; there will be more than a few loaded boxes at the LOS, though.

I buy into the theory that Week 1 is the absolute worst time of the year to draw the Lions. But they should still beat them relatively easy unless it's one of those dumpster fire games we only play against the Giants. 

Also if you are betting on it, wait all day to place it. Hard Knocks is going to cause the line to come down. 

Honestly love doing week 1 parlays. can get some "upsets” in there to boosts up the odds and i feel week 1 there’s always 2-3 teams you don’t expect to win that do. I could see Minnesota and jags winning. Minnesota always gives GB trouble in Minnesota. Frankly if the jags played Washington at home I’d really feel confident about them winning that game. I think jags aren’t going to be good but better than what they have been. I think Lawrence is gonna be better year 2 and i think Doug is better then what they’ve had recently.

If it were me I would load the box and stack the right side of the field until he shows he can beat you for several drives.

what was a good rep besides his on the run throw to quez which we knew he could do?

He was 6 for 6 and made the right decisions on those throws.  He made a decent pass over the middle to Stoll.  The pass to Goedert was OK.  He made the right decision and threw it quickly but there wasnt much on the ball.   I also thought he had good placement on the throws to Sanders.  Nothing was that difficult but it was OK.   They had 9 reps and didn't do poorly.

I did 4.5lbs of Elk Jerky over the weekend.

2lbs of a sweet and hot and 2+lbs of a Teriyaki 

Hillbilly 

Teriyaki is the best, but both are good.

Might want to call a Dr about that hot deck

There are groups on facebook that do them.  You pay for whatever team you want, they open the boxes of cards live, and you get whatever hits for the team you purchase.

I do it through Hoosier Sports Memorabilia and Cards.  

They also do jersey raffles.  For a 16 dollar buy in , I won an autographed Darius Slay jersey, and a 12 dollar buy in, won an autographed Notre Dame Ricky Watters jersey.

1 week ago. Stop talking about the following and talk about the Eagles:

- Politics

- Food

- Music

 

This week. Stop talking about the Eagles most important player.  

I get it.  The QB is the most important position on the field and gets all the scruntiny.  The backup QB is always the most popular player in Philly (except for Minshew because everybody knows that he sucks worse).

But, it is like the posters in here believe that if they cry and repeat "Hurts sucks" enough that it is actually going to change anything.  

There are going to be 74 other players on the team and roster battles for those positions.  I know it is isn't as intriguing as a 72 hour scrutiny of one f'n play in preseason but there are other topics.

Yup, I suspect most of getting AJ brown was ti counter the loaded boxes.

AJ saw lots of loaded boxes with the titans as teams loaded up to stop Henry.

Slipping in right behind the lbs on those slants and crossers will be key, I worry that that is t really hurts best throw as he struggles with over the middle throws,whether due to his lack of height or timing or what.

We'll see, I fully expect the lions to come out and stack the box and force hurts to his left instead of the right.

If hurts passes that test then that's good if not, could be a long season.

And you're right, the lions defense isnt  the BUCS but still they can give some of those same looks and will be interesting to see if hurts can adjust.

I'm not counting on him doing so but would be nice if he did.

I already asked.  @Iggles_Phan said GreenD has cancelled us.  He's out for good, so nothing wrong with him.  Which is good.  

I dont feel cancelled. I think @greend cancelled himself. I am uncancellable.

I'm in the same boat. 

I was very "ok" about his performance. But shocked about how well he's been spoken about in the media and some of this fan base. 

Yeah I saw an article that said, Hurts shows he's the eagles starting QB, or something to that affect 

And I was like who ever said there was any other option???

The coaches never suggested it was a QB competition, they just named him the starter asif he's sine established vet that the teams scoffs at suggesting competition.😕

I'm not to bent about hurts being the QB this year, I'll be bent if he plays the same way he did last year or eagles have a similar outcome( first round) playoff exit and then they extend hurts and tell us he's the guy.👎
