I still think Quez is a pretty good player at the #3 and im not out on him. 

Eh, I'll disagree with this one.  He's shown nothing in terms of being a #3.  He's a good deep threat and that's it.  I want my #3 to be a jack of all trades who can make tough catches, fight for yards and be reliable OR a quick twitch, impossible to defend in the slot guy.  Jason Avant was a prime example.  I think Jordan Matthews would have been a perfect #3.  I don't know why they don't use Pascal more in that role.

Hurts is probably losing the locker room by not being a leader and stepping up in the most crucial time of the year...choosing to sit on the bench instead.

Rent not paid twice, gonna get that eviction notice.

Might be 3 rents not paid because he lost to Washington of all teams

If Minshew leads this team to a second straight loss then playing Hurts is an absolute must in the final week to secure the #1 seed. 

Minshew didn't lead them to a loss against the Cowboys.  The Eagles didn't lose that game because of Gardner Minshew.  Having Hurts would have helped, but Minshew didn't give up 40.  Minshew's INT's were more on Quez than they were on Minshew so I don't even blame him for those.  Hit him on the hands both times.  One was a clear DPI and the other Quez didn't even fight for.  2 fumbles not his fault either.

Nope.

Going from questionable to doubtful means he is not playing, and they will make it official later today or tomorrow.

Sometimes the #3 just needs to be what the #1 and #2 are not.  AJ Brown has had some great deep catches this year, but that's purely off shielding defenders and tracking the football (not that there is anything wrong with that).  But he doesn't push the defense back.  Devonta Smith has been great, but he hasn't really been a threat on true go routes or ultra deep routes.

It's very dangerous to ignore Quez, as he can get behind the entire defense in an instant.  

I don't think any truly elite offense can lack that threat.

Sarcasm is under-rated.

That's a Strong Take. You have cujones...Roll with that.

I'm sure there's some Tweeter Peeps out there would pay for you input.

Saturday Night Live comes to mind...

Only Hurts has intangibles and wants to win. 

I dunno man, watching the Maryland NC State game, all they could talk about was Taulia Tagovailoa's leadership.  Howie better get that guy in here ASAP.

Much like agility after an ACL or velocity after TJ surgery, oftentimes leadership after concussions just isn't the same.

I see the point you're making but I think we greatly overvalue Quez's ability to get deep.

Dude, I am talking about Taulia Tagovailoa, the Maryland QB, not Tuanigamanuolepola Tagovailoa, the Dolphins QB.

Kamara is hurt, and did not look good for most of the game last weekend.  Not even concerned with him.

That’s what your dad said 9 months after he didn’t pull out quick enough 

You come up with that one all by yourself dork?

I don't see it in Tualia at all.  He seems like a poor man's Russell Wilson in that he takes the snap and rolls back and to the right.  He's not bad by any means and he has talent.  It just seems like sports media wants to praise him and have him be something he isn't.  It's really annoying and nothing at the fault of him but makes me not like him.  Watching any UM game and listening to the way the announcers always talk about him you'd think the Terps were on the verge of a National Championship.

He was declared as doubtful not out. It means he's very unlikely to play, but you said he was declared out, which is factually incorrect.

Too many Tagovailoas are gonna spoil the stew 

Now that Hurts is out I am changing my prediction @LeanMeanGM

Saints 30

Eagles 20

Hill 1 TD throwing and 1 TD rushing 

Eagles pass rush should feast on Sunday. Eagles should set their single season sack record. I hope BG gets to 10 sacks!

If the defense gets steamrolled at home against Andy Dalton then there’s more issues to be worried about than not clinching the one seed.
