Speaking of Jenkins...

Which is a better tandem, 2017 Jenkins/McLeod or 2023 Byard/Blankenship?

Too early to tell. Byard WAS better than any of them at his peak. We'll have to see how he fits into scheme/how much he still has in the tank. 

With seven early entries, this week's Predictions Window is Open

As always, please tag your predictions with @mattwill when you post them.

So far the seven recorded are all for an Eagles win by an average score of Eagles 31 Commies 15.

Let's give it a couple of weeks to see some actual performance on the field.

LeBron is a social media activist who puts pictures of himself reading a book on Instagram. Jenkins at least walked the walk, participated in marches, met with decision makers, etc. 

he’s got his own agenda. The contrast in how he handled Desean vs Brees is plain evidence of that.  

@mattwill

Eagles 34

Commanders 20

Eagles D 5+ sacks

Doesn't everybody?

I certainly have my own agenda. Whose agenda do you follow?

@mattwill 

Eagles 33
Commanders 16

Defense scores a TD

Saw this stat

Jurgens playing - Eagles  RB's 477 rush yards on 88 carries for 5.4 YPC

Jurgens not playing  - Eagles RB's  238 yards on 73 carries for 3.2 YPC

Kinda weird the only thing on a bye week this week is the bye week

Eagles 34 - Commanders 13

2 TD's for Smith

Brown's streak goes down (sorry).

Jurgens not playing - Aaron Donald, Quinnen Williams, Christian Wilkins probably has something to do with it too

That’s a take. What did he do to give off a "morally superior aura”?

He's probably referring to when he did stuff like this

Bunch of dummies holding a microphone up to a sign 

Given that the first game went to overtime, shouldn't be that difficult to get the boys fired up for this game. Desai just has to show the film of Sam Howell clowning them. Bradberry struggled in the slot in that game + Edmunds dropped a gimme INT.

 

While Jenkins was here he lived in our neighborhood - Northern Liberties. He was friendly, personable, obviously doted on his children, ate locally. Just a good neighbor. He was clearly committed to his causes. He was also a terrific player and positive locker room presence. I have nothing but the utmost respect for him. When I think of some of the thugs, scumballs, and narcissists we've been subjected to, it boggles my mind that he would be anyone's "least favorite."

2017

Just a reminder.  These were our 2020 Eagles (based on starts).

 

@mattwill

Eagles 30-16

Smith and Goedert each have a TD 

@mattwill

Eagles: 24

Commanders: 19

Bonus: Julio Jones TD 

 

 

Regarding Red Zone efficiency...you'll notice the lack of 'stickiness' across the league in year-over-year performance. .

it's purely political, ideological. That's where we are in the country, the demonization of opposite political sides is so strong that if they are on the other side, they are reprehensible, immoral and bad people.
