And an eventual 1st and 3rd back

I also like to include the first we got from Bradford ( :roll: ) into the equation since he became expendable. 
 

(Granted we traded Foles and a (2nd?) for Bradford, so if you want to get super technical, also subtract that 2nd.  Nerd)

Im talkin to myself, bro... 😂

Just rewatched 52.

Nelson Agholor is a hero.

He ruled the 4th quarter.

Bring him home for the slot.

Brown, Smith, Agholor.

Watkins can valet.

Just catch the keys.

57 was a farce.

Eagles D was money all season.

They forget how to pass rush?

I want an investigation.

Why was that field a slip n slide?

 

Johnny Walton, in for Jaws, on MNF, Nov. 12 '79 (5:06 min.)

That MNF game in Dallas in ‘79 was one of the most memorable, most awesome games I ever experienced. It was the first time they had ever beaten a good Cowboys team in Dallas and it signaled loudly that this team was now for real.

I was a freshman in college at the time. Had a Western Civ test that morning that was postponed because the teacher forgot to bring the tests with her. So the class was cancelled. Had nothing to do the rest of the day other than to get psyched. I recall going to the student center that morning to buy a newspaper, which helped me get emotionally ready. Was on pins and needles all day because the game was so important. After a 6-1 start, the Eagles had lost three in a row, including a heartbreaker to the Browns the previous week when they blew a two score lead at home in the final four minutes.

Cowboys get the ball to start the game and casually march the length of the field to take an early, easy 7-0 lead. You can hear Cosell and Meredith and Gifford thinking the rout is on. But the Eagles tie it a little while later when they converted a fourth down (it was super rare for teams to even try those in those days) with a long pass to Harold Carmichael. And from then on, they dominate, even though Jaworski was knocked out of the game for a bit and John Walton came in. Tony Franklin hit a 59 yard field goal at the end of the half but later missed a couple easier ones. The game by rights should have been out of reach, but they kinda let the Cowboys hang around, only to see them score a late touchdown to put them within one score. The Eagles need to control the clock to secure the victory, and Wilbert Montgomery seals it with a long touchdown scamper. I felt like the Eagles had just won the Super Bowl, not realizing at the time that I wouldn’t get to taste that experience for real for nearly forty more years.

Just a great, great, day.

Sixers making any moves tonight?  Trades?  Buying 1st or 2nd rounder, etc.?

 

How is the No answer winning this?  Embarrassing sports town sometimes.

God no.  Agholor suffers from the same problems as Quez and that's routinely coming up very small in huge moments of a game.

Except for the second half, in particular the fourth quarter, of the Super Bowl. But I guess that wasn’t a huge enough moment for you.

I mean Harrison Kent and Kent Analytics are 4 standard deviations away from the mean.  

Graduating summa **** laude from Harvard University, Harrison P. Kent IV combined his unique intellectual capabilities and his fascination with American football to create Kent Analytics - deemed “[the] most statistically precise sports analytics network ever seen.” Kent Analytics is most famous for the 2018 University of Michigan "Sports Analytics Precision Study,” in which Kent Analytics - correctly predicting the outcomes of sporting events at a ratio of nearly four standard deviations above the mean when compared to its peers - ranked far higher than any similar analytical network. 

Born in April of 1981 to Harrison P. Kent III and Beatrice Lucille Kent (née Williams), Harrison P. Kent IV spent his childhood at the esteemed, forty-five million dollar family estate in Greenwich, Connecticut. From his infancy, Kent exhibited supreme intellect for his age, first attracting attention from universities nationwide at age 9. Driven by his fear of attending a disreputable or public university, Kent continued furthering his knowledge in his youth by indulging in even the most archaic and sophisticated classics at the prestigious Kent family library. After winning the Connecticut Latin Bee at age 11, Kent began communicating with the deans at Harvard University, where his paternal lineage had studied for the past eight generations. Kent was accepted into Harvard at age 15, graduating summa **** laude in 2000 as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society with a double major in Economics & Classics. https://kent-analytics.com/

Agholor had somewhere North of 70 yards receiving in the second half of a Superbowl that was a shootout, what sort of 'huge moments' do you want him to do better in?

The exclusion of Ertz is an unforgivable oversight.

The inclusion of Byars as a TE for the Eagles is also a massive mistake as illustrated by the lack of knowledge of the history of the team.  Byars only 'played' TE for the Eagles for part of the 1992 season.  He wasn't a TE, and definitely shouldn't be on the list compared to a guy who is the only Eagles PLAYER with over 100 receptions in a season, and one of only two TEs on the team that has gone over 1000 yards.  

This is a bad list.

I'm still bummed we never got to see a healthy Cornelius Ingram.

One game doesn't erase a career of being terrible at end game moments.  Thankful for him not being as bad as he was throughout his career in the Super Bowl but no need to bring him back.  One of the most aggrevating players to ever play here and I am very happy he is gone.  He was so dreadful in 2019, as if he was on a personal mission to sink that season.

Not drop a perfect pass in his hands streaking down the sideline against Atlanta that would have out the Eagles ahead.  Not drop a TD pass that again hit him in the hands that would have tied the game with no time left against the Patriots.  One game performance doesn't erase a career of evidence of the player he is.

Well it says TE/FB.  Byars played FB for most of his career with the Eagles. I think this was published by the Eagles organization and they probably didn't include Ertz because he's an active player on another team.
