Again, why would we show that guy of all people

If you can’t even make safety on this team, you’re not getting first look at the new digs

Let’s say hypothetically Howie does everything exactly the same regardless, what does this team look like today if Doug Pederson stayed on as HC?

We probably have a different DC; I wonder if Jalen develops differently.

Hard to imagine doug leaning so heavily on the run and rpo

I'm not sure how the team responds in 2021. Doug lost the locker room, who knows if he gets it back.

I’m surprised it took this long.

I’m somewhat half joking, but do we really need to sign a punter? How many times did Elliot have to do it? Once? It’s the bears

He’s likely better than Wallace. What’s the issue?

Yup, Harris won't make any plays but he's also rarely out of position, where as Kvon is just straight trash.

If the punting duty screws with his FG kicking then it becomes a big issue.  Very few NFL teams (if any anymore) have one player doing punts and FG duty.

Fair, but running Elliot out there even more increases his risk for injury, too.

Can't wait to hear how dynamic he's going to be in their offense even though he's been meh for years now.

We could hold team tryouts for the spot during the game. I bet the minsh has a leg 

With a day to think about (and sober up), that was a huge win.

1) Divisional game on the road, these are almost always tough

2) 11-1 record, it's hard not to feel a sense of security

3) The weather, cold rain is hell on offensive teams that depend on timing and precision, the ball is slippery and the Giants' field is pretty bad.

So an objective observer might have made this an upset special.

Instead, the offense just came out and rolled, though there were at least 3 dropped passes and a couple others that were tough catches but WRs didn't make them (balls thrown where only the receiver can make the catch). Hurts' numbers weren't spectacular, but the way he ran the offense was - no mistakes, no panic even when the Giants brought pressure, no throws forced into traffic, check downs when his primary target(s) were covered.

Given the conditions, this was actually a better performance than the previous two weeks.

I don't care how slow Anthony Harris is.

Slow Anthony Harris > Out of position KVon Wallace. Truly that simple for me.

Beyond the bad pick 6 hurts threw against Jax, we’ve had 2 elements games and excelled in both. That bodes well for coming months

Anthony Harris on the PS would be fine. I don't think he deserves a main roster spot.

She is a bit slow to react but anchors well

Looking ahead to the Bears game, they have given up 42 sacks, fifth highest in the NFL this season.  They have also thrown 11 interceptions, which is seventh highest. Should bode well for the Birds.

At the end of the first year, this was in contention for worst draft class in eagles history. Three year rule. We’ll see who the 4th will be that we got for Reagor. Driscoll may be around for awhile. Would like to re-sign Watkins if reasonable, and Shaun Bradley is… still on the roster?

Every player other than Hurts could be a dried out dog turd and that draft should still be considered a success based on his play this season.

I'm curious about something. What exactly is your motivation for this entire discussion? Are you arguing that the mis-kick by the Giants yesterday should have been interpreted as a failed dropkick field goal attempt? It clearly wasn't, but even if it was, the Eagles would get the ball at the spot of the kick, which is pretty much where they got it anyway. So I don't really see the point of this discussion.

Another point I think you're not considering about the Tucker dropkick is that was a kickoff rather than a field goal attempt. Kickoffs by nature are different than field goals. You use a tee on a kickoff. You don't use a tee on a field goal.

Also you seem to be arguing that Tucker's dropkick was illegal. So then wouldn't you say that if what happened yesterday was a dropkick, you'd then be arguing that it was an illegal attempt? Which means it wasn't a dropkick. Which is what we've been saying all along.

So on point.

Argue to argue?

Git em Franklin!  lol.

Fields will hit us with some tuns but not much other offense to be concerned about. Mush rush week
