It’s only his third game. He has talent. It took Thomas almost three years to get good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami plays the Bengals so by Thursday they could be the last one standing. As for the Boys and Gmen. I'm not too impressed with either team really. Gmen were winning close games that they normally would lose so they have improved. Cowboys have a nice defense but Offensively they've been pretty average. I think Carson bounces back next week and beats the Boys. I could see the Gmen being up and down all season. Again the new coach is definitely going to make them better but they still have a ways to go. Next up for the Birds. Dougie P returns. An added nicety: all three wins are against NFC teams.

To be fair, I’m not sure a SB win would be enough to erase the stain of that joint practice defeat,, but I guess it’s a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A single picture cannot establish 'possession', as this doesn't rule out the 'bobble'. It establishes that his left foot is down while touching the ball, but it doesn't establish control.

A second still doesn't prove the ball didn't move (which I believe it clearly did) between pictures. His hands are now in a different position on the ball than in the first picture, and he's barely got it in his fingers. The ball has rotated in his hands from where it began. If anything, this seems to be proving that the ball was indeed bobbled between picture 1 & 2, and shows that the left foot is off the ground. And we know once that foot came up, it never came back down inbounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if there's a ticking time bomb in his other knee as well. Having a tear like that with no perceivable misstep or anything else makes me wonder if there's not just some sort of inherent weakness in that tendon/ligament (or whatever just tore), and if the other one is also weak. I've seen time and again guys that have their Achilles go tear the other one a few years later. I wonder if that's a thing with this. And... that sucks for him. Just running, jogging really and then... SNAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, get Tracy Morgan out of there, this dude is on so many drugs right now. It’s actually pretty good. They have to many guests IMO. Rather just them talk football and have maybe 1 guest tops.

Anyone who has been to a game in person knows that you can't see something like that from the stands. Even the officials on the field miss things. The people with the best vantage point for that are the ones at home, because they have the replays shown to them from various camera angles, if the broadcast team is doing their job correctly.

So... not a catch. Great effort. Two feet further in bounds and it is a reception. But... it was still a great throw, great effort. You can't expect your WRs to make all the catches like that. Smith made plenty of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpac55 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Based on what we know after 3 weeks, there is absolutely no reason the Eagles shouldn't sweep the NFC East with ease. I know Divisional games are always tricky but wow do these 3 teams look like trash. They have no business competing with the Eagles if this team is who they are and if they continue to improve.

But clearly his right hand isn’t part of the possession and his left hand does not have it cradled. Pretty obvious to everyone else but one stubborn poster who wants evidence to discount his "opinion” I won't say it was definitely not a catch, or would have been overturned, had it been challenged. But I think there is sufficient evidence to overturn it. But, given the NFL's way... it is at least as likely that it would have been ruled to 'stand'. I don't see anyway that it could have been confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I prefaced with the as of now statement. Everything can change. Jalen Hurts could come back down to earth a bit. On the flipside, the Eagles have yet to play a full 60 minutes so we don't know how good they just might be. But not disagreeing with you one bit. Never easy. All three teams just look plain bad as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLC Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 The Cowboys are actually a good team because they have a top 10 defense and enough on offense to get some points. I still think they can get to 9-10 wins as long as Parsons is on the field. He just transforms the defense. My favourite part of last night is Cowboy fans asking to trade Dak Prescott😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoEagle Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Just saw this tidbit in an article from The Ringer about TLaw: After three games, Lawrence is tied for the league’s lowest sack rate at 1.8 percent. The play-calling has insulated him from some hits, but his quick reaction to pressure is really the secret sauce here. The 22-year-old has been sacked on just 6.3 percent of his pressured dropbacks, the third-lowest mark in the league behind only Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, according to TruMedia. They also noted last week he had a career low 2.39 seconds for time to throw. Our defensive rate is 9th in the league at 2.7 seconds for time to pressure (also gleaned from the same article). Gannon better crank up that blitz rate this week, or TLaw might be able to actually do damage. https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2022/9/26/23373022/nfl-2022-new-contenders-jacksonville-jaguars-miami-dolphins-philadelphia-eagles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
