Up 2-1 is just way too big of a hole to climb out of

No,  Carr hasn't.   This is his 10th year and he has no playoff wins.  Generally,  when you suck so bad, you don't get more jobs.

Saints Head Coach Dennis Allen was Carr's Head Coach with the Raiders in 2014.  Allen + Carr started 0-4,  and Allen was fired.  Then Carr lost another 6 games.  0-6. 

Zach Wilson also sucks.

Come on, man.   .  I didn't say Carr was good, I said he has more accomplishments than Wilson, which is undeniably true.  

Here's a couple (and to be clear, I'm not saying Carr is a good QB... but a more accomplished one than Wilson, which can't be argued).

Carr - 4 Pro Bowls.   Wilson - 0.
Carr - 4 consecutive seasons with more than 4000 yards passing... Wilson - never topped 2500.
Carr - 64% comp pct.  including one season over 70%.   Wilson - career 56% comp pct.  Career high is his current 60%
Carr's career low for TD passes in a single season (19) matches Wilson's career TOTAL (27 starts).

 

I'm not a Carr apologist by any means, but to argue that Carr doesn't have greater career accomplishments than Wilson is laughable.  Don't be a fool.  The reason that Carr has been a starter in the league for 10 years and the reason that the former #2 overall pick (Wilson) has been replaced multiple times as the starter in NY is because Carr is flat out a better QB than Wilson.  That's why Carr got a second contract with the Raiders... and why he got yet another contract from the Saints.  Wilson hasn't done enough in the league yet to be a starter for a team that's already got him under contract, let alone have a team go after him.

Pache in left, move Marsh to center. Keeps Kyle out of the outfield, and not a huge drop in overall outfield defense. And Pache gives you far more at the 9 hole than Rojas. He looks like if it was on a tee he would still have trouble.

Does he, though?   I posted this yesterday, I'll add it again.   One of these guys hit 0.302 in the regular season, the other hit 0.238.  (One also has two other seasons in MLB to draw from... 0.168 and 0.111 BA.).     I'll add Pache struck out 32% of his PA.  Rojas struck out 28%.  

 

I understand the frustration with Rojas at the plate right now.   BUT... the idea that Pache is a solution to that is to not understand who Pache is and has been.  This has been Pache's best season as a pro... and its STILL not nearly good enough.  The fact that Topper was platooning Pache and Marsh made no sense to me.  Yes, Marsh is a leftie.  But, he also showed he can hit lefties this year.  Let him play.

The more i think about it, the more confident I am that the Dbacks win this series. A game like last night typically sends this team into a prolonged slump.

The more I think about it, just STFU

It's too late. On the EMB, once you defend a player against an unsubstantiated or even outrageous accusation, that player becomes "your boy." Your argument in his favor is now "gushing." So in the future, you'll be arguing with someone that is making a huge deal out of something like, say ...  Jalen Carter's first bad game ... You'll say something like "everybody has a bad game at some point," and make a statement about how you expect him to get back on track --- and due to a lack of ability to formulate a respectable rebuttal to your post, you can expect something like:

"Hard to take anything you post seriously after all that gushing you did over your boy, Carr."

Flyers Devils series 2000

GoEagles has been an obvious troll for a while. Don't think I've ever seen him predict anything but the worst outcome for any team here. Doesn't post enough for it to be obvious though,.

I just don't get why everything has to be extremes.  🤷‍♂️

 

I get that Carr is no good... but to say that he's the equivalent of Zach Wilson right now is just ridiculous.  Carr, believe it or not, is actually 29th ALL-TIME in career passing yards (36,822)... He's just about to pass Donovan McNabb (37,296), Boomer Esiason (37,920) and Dave Krieg (38,147), which will put him at #26 all time.  These numbers are skewed in favor of current day QBs with the way the rules have changed, they've added games, etc.   But... to act like he's the same level of bum as Zach Wilson is disingenuous.

Yea. He’s always been Great Value Kirk Cousins imo. He’ll battle for you to get to slightly over .500 and then get bounced in the playoffs if they make it. 

Zach Wilson gets dragged by the 52nd player on the team to the finish line. 

Dak has a Rangers jersey on with his name other back, what a goober

Kirk is #24 (38,819).

Thought he’d be higher actually

He's played in a lot of nationally televised night games.   Kills his average.

 

(But seriously, he started his career behind RGIII, so he hasn't played as many games as he could have.  He barely played his first 3 years.)

Eagles 37

Dolphins 24

dline 6+ sacks

If the D-Line gets 6+ sacks the total sacks given up by the Dolphins will double.  They have only given up 6 all year.

I am just not a fan of baseball or football inside a dome.  These sports are meant to be played in the elements.  

Midget came up with massive Homer 

Temple is on ESPN. Is this game at the Linc? It doesn't look like the same grass the Eagles use and they have soccer markings on the field too.

Just had a friendly at the Linc - Germany vs. Mexico, I think.

I'd like to see Turner run.    Yes, it takes the bat out of Harper's hand.  

 

Then take 3rd too.
