Never ventured down those avenues.

But some good drink and eddies always do the trick.

Was hoping it'd be celebratory ether.

But will settle for ether nonetheless 

I've never had a sip of alcohol never done any drugs unless pot gummies count during chemo.

If I did though I imagine now would be a good time to start...

I don’t see how we can afford a move like that. We have too many holes and not enough cap space. We can’t afford to push that many chips into one asset.

Just plugging holes isn't gonna get it done. This year we didn't have a lot of glaring holes on D from a players perspective, but we didn't have that 1 difference maker to make 1 play we needed.

Our O is good enough to keep us in every game, on D we need someone who can break the game open. Quality over quantity is needed IMO.

I wanted to see what exactly the defense was doing and what Gannon was thinking. besides guys slipping and falling on the field when rushing, Orlando brown actually played significantly better than he did against the bengals (in 3rd quarter). Brown hasn’t got getting nearly the amount of help that the chiefs did with Wylie. 

Offensively I am not really watching. I thought they did enough to win that game. Granted that fumble and the play call on the fumble I didn’t love. Rather have trusted smith or brown than trying for a draw on 3rd and 5. And their linebacker read it really well to start so it was doomed even if hurts held onto ball. 
 

Offensively the eagles scored the most points for a super bowl losing team 

While I think it's fair to say the field great decreased the effectiveness of the eagles pass rush Gannon seems to have called a pretty poor game.

Lol that Tubi commercial was messed up, my wife looked at me all panicky because she had the remote, I just stared confusingly until the game came in but yeah I'm sure lots of people sweating over that stupid commercial 

Tubi should be fined...

I mean, Reddick was that guy. We finished second all-time in sacks. I think we’re drawing too large of a conclusion based on one game on a terrible playing surface.

Ok, man. You’re really worked up over this. Maybe he didn’t have a nice game and I saw his only two good plays. 

Mahomes only attempted 27 passes. And Sweat didn’t play every snap. I couldn’t say how many pass rush opportunities he had, but he had two impact rushes on third downs that should have ended drives. That’s certainly better than nothing.

Regardless, I don’t care to argue with you about it anymore. 

He had 1 pass rush that counted against a guy who again struggled vs. bengals against a lesser pass rushers. Again call me out on hyperbole is called out saying he did nothing. However don’t ignore the fact it’s just as much hyperbole to say he had a nice game.

It caught me off guard for half a second but I was at a bar and every TV changed so it ruined the bit, but I understand how terrible that must have been for people.

Maybe, but it felt glaring today. I think a blue chipper like Anderson/Carter will have a much more net positive effect over 2-3 above average players.

Ok…. I’ve literally told you twice now that maybe I’m remembering his only two good plays from the game. Cripes.

Both teams had to deal with the field conditions. However that doesn’t take away that Wylie and brown played much better against the eagles then they had against the bengals. I’d have to watch the jags game but I’d bet this might have been their best game this postseason. The fact of the matter is, I just don’t think reddick and sweat (who imo had biggest mismatches along the DL entering the game) were as productive and great as they needed to be and likely probably should’ve considering their matchups.

Potentially, but it’s going to cost QB trade up value to get into the top 4 or 5 to get them. That’s just too much.

Carter is being way overhyped.  The guy had 3 sacks and 32 tackles all season.

According to the chart, pick 10+30 gets you 4 and some change. I would do that in a heartbeat.

With Howie it might, and I would do it if on the table.

Much respect.

Drugs and alcohol have completely derailed my journey.

Wish I had never been exposed to it.

My parents did me no favors.

Both addicts.

I think they can get a great OL at 10 and a potential starting CB at 30. Longer term plan but the OL is this team's scheme. I'd take a top RB in RD 2. That would have been a difference maker today. Sanders was weak today and we needed a power back with break away potential today. That's the next evolution of the Hurts offense. A RB for the defense to truly have to scheme against.

The OL class is hella deep, we can circle back and grab a stud OL (Wright, Freeland, Harris) in the 2nd

If the Eagles didn’t have as many holes on defense, along with the potential of losing seumalo and Sanders, I would be more willing to do that.

I understand Anderson is an amazing pass rusher. However, the Eagles have seven free agent starters on defense and hurtd is about to get paid $50mil. We need as many picks  as possible to infuse talent on defense. I think it’s more likely we trade out of 10 to get more picks. Really could use another linebacker to go with Dean (I’d let edwards and white walk). Hypothetically if you extend CJGJ, hargrave and have starter Blankenship next year with CJGJ, Davis starts and Dean then you still have Lb holes and second corner. Add on slay might just be on the decline so long term have both starting corners.

I get the argument against not trading up, in time I might even agree with it as the best course of action.

But feeling how I'm feeling right now, I can't help but feel that if we had a true force multiplier on D, we win.

I probably wait til round 2 or 3 take a tackle who has guard versatility. Let him play guard until lane retires. I think at 10 you are likely picking one of those tackles and shifting him to guard for likely 2-3 years of his rookie contract until lane retires. I think better off using a second or third rounder for that. Basically seumalo they did that cause he had guard and center versatility. Unless they think one of those tackles is going to be a lane replacement and his ceiling is just through the roof. But i think the better value is in round 2 or 3

Defense lost this game.

No pass rush in the fing Super Bowl

Seems Reddick was doubled a lot, couple plays he was used as a spy other times Gannon dropped him🤷‍♂️ give KC credit though they didnt single block him with a back up TE 

Sweat his first pass rush I thought he was gonna at least hit mahommes, he had a great get off had the OT beat them turning the corner slipped.

Sure the field affected both teams but the eagles strength in D is their pass rush and the field conditions totally took a strength and neutralized it.

Like I said if I was watching on a black and white TV I would have assumed they were playing in snow, it was so slippery and that's always going to benefit the offense.
