What a weird  week for QBs. We've got some amazing matchups with Mahomes vs Tua, Hurts vs Dak, and Allen vs Burrow.  We've also got Jaren Hall, Clayton Tune, Tyson Bagen, and Aiden O'Connell all starting.

I feel like Eliss is quite deserving of 2023 Nast Nate.

It may have taken a while to get there, but I think you're right. From talks of him being a starter and this hidden gem to now...I don't think I've heard his name once even on special teams. Can't even recall a time I've noticed 53 walking off the field.

Seriously? 

 

I don't have much hope for football lasting another decade.

I get being emotional after a game but I dunno about this. First, he has his mom paint his nails and now he practically curls up in to the fetal position for her to hold him after a game. That's who you want leading your team?

That quez bubble screen was overblown, he made a bad read tried to out run the d instead of hitting it and guys like Seth Joyner lose their mind and all the lemming fans that were already sour in Quez follow the hate off a cliff...

Like I said, Quez has a valuable skill set, in that he can take the top off the defense, when his head is right and he's playing well the eagles offense is better.

Problem has been he was so disinterested and bad last year and this year dealing with injuries he really hasnt had many opportunities to turn it around 

If/when he gets back I don't know why anyone wouldn't be hoping and rooting for him to make some plays 

He'll get 1 or 2 pity targets a game and if he can make the most of those targets that makes the eagles that much better.

As for Devon Allen, he's never shown he can actually play WR 

He had one good KR in pre season and that's about it 

He's not a football player, he's a track guy moonlighting as a football player, kind of like Quez too, except Quez has shown he can play WR at times.

I am not a lemming.

Come on dude, no DC is sitting down and game planning for Quez, they have a bunch of other guys to worry about but when Quez is on the field best believe Defenses are aware of his speed.

Quez is more of a threat than Oz, and as said eagles are better when Quez is right.

DC: And lets move on to Quez.  He's fast but can't catch

Player: What do we do coach?

DC: Leave him open and double AJ Brown.

Week 9 is here Eagles Fans.  Daylight Savings Time, I'm up early and I can't go back to sleep (Well it's really 6 AM in my mind's clock, lol).   Oh well.  In 12 hours, The Birds and The Boys are in for another NFC Beast Battle. It was kind of a quiet Cowboys week.   I'll tell you what won't be quiet.   The Linc should be rocking this afternoon.   Look we hate them, they hate us.  It's no secret.  This is the 129th Game All-Time in one of the NFL's Biggest Rivalries.  The Boys lead the all time series 73 to 55. The Bye week is next week.  This is a great chance for the Birds to take full control of the NFC Beast with 8 games to go.   Everyone keeps talking about "Our Schedule" coming up.  I don't care about that.  I only care about them taking care of business at Home against Dallas.  Dak is now the OG of the Division.  He did outlast everyone.  I'll give him that.  I also think Dak is talented.  With that said, he has made some mistakes in crucial times.   

As many have said in the Media. Dak is 8-3 Vs Philly.  Good record.  But when you pull it back.  You realize several of those wins the Eagles were resting starters or there was literally nothing to play for as the Division or Playoffs were wrapped up.  With that said, this year Dallas has been blowing teams doors off at Home.  Very similar to Miami.  But away from Jerry World has been a Different world.  Arizona ran the ball down their throats and beat them.  San Fran ran and threw the ball and beat them badly. Chargers had them on the ropes until the very end of the game.  All of these were on the Road.   Dallas is a different team on the road.   Meanwhile, the Eagles just came off their best scoring performance of the Season.  On the Road.   At home the Birds are averaging 33 PPG, they are also 10-2 over their last 12 Homes games.  In their last 3 road games.  Dallas is only averaging 16 PPG and is 1-2.  Dak has also thrown several INT's during those games. I believe the same happens in Philly. 

I expect the Defense to bounce back this week and play like the Miami game with much more intensity.  I also expect the Offense to keep rolling. This is one of the Best Defenses the Birds will face outside of the Jets.  But Dallas Defense is not that great against the Run.  I hoping for the a more balanced attack this week.   Also pressure Dak, he can be forced into mistakes.   NFC Beast games are always fluky and tricky.  But sometimes the better team does win outright.  The Dallas D hasn't given up 100 Yard WR this season.  I think the Birds have a chance with AJ and Swift to break 100 in the Air and Ground.   Dallas won't go quietly but I just feel the Birds are playing better overall football right now.  In the 128 games, the Birds and Boys have only played on 11/5 one other time.  That was 11/5/2000 23 years ago in the Randall V Donovan Bowl.  Randal Cunningham returned to Philly wearing a Dallas Jersey (Why Randall, lol) to play a young Donovan Mcnabb in his first year starting.   The Eagles won in OT 16-13. Now Dak is the Veteran coming to play a young Jalen.  Same result, but better score this time.   Birds take down the Boys and head to the Bye Week 8-1.  

 

THE BIRDS - 31

THE BOYS - 16

 

JALEN - RUSH TD

AJ - TD

GOEDERT - TD

SWIFT - RUSH TD

JAKE - FG

 

DEFENSE - MULTIPLE INT's and SACKS and A FUMBLE

 

Oh Yeah how could I forget.  Happy Birthday JASON.   Not In Our House on Jason's B-Day.

 

One thing buds me about the Kelces: the TV commercial that shows Jason loses arm-wrestle to his brother.  As a line man, strength is critical importance, more so than a TE.  Visually Jason also has larger biceps than his brother.  How could he be beaten by his brother in a real match???

I'd have to think that Travis has longer arms so he has the leverage.

Yeah…not really a good look

Quez too often runs **** routes or the wrong routes. He can’t be trusted to run slants because he’s soft. He can’t be trusted on screens because he’s too soft to block on them and too soft or stupid to understand the situation and pick up easy first downs. 

His frailty helped lead directly to three losses, including the Super Bowl.

Other than that, he’s good.

Trotter Jr. will likely fall to an area where the FO ponders LBs, but he’s a MIKE not a WIL so in direct competition with Nakobe. Doubtful like you said… automatic tackler, good instincts, not a freaky athlete though.

I went to the Clemson v Notre Dame game yesterday....was a treat to see Trotter play the way he did. Fun day.

All my friends of course asking if I wanted the Eagles to draft him. Obvious answer: Yes....but had to explain that it was pretty unlikely if he ascends up to a high draft pick.

I think Caleb William is seeing that life isn't easy at times.  A few months ago,he was the dogs dangly bits, now reality is hitting that he won't get the playoff shine. In the longer term, will do him good and I dare say some NFL teams are loving how he reacts to adversity

If we're talking strictly 4th or 5th WRs then he's not good......he's great.  Name me a better 4th or 5th WR in the league?  (I'm joking btw)

Disagree. I think Caleb Williams is showing us what the modern, coddled NIL athlete is. He was the one saying he wanted ownership of a team that drafts him. He's the one calling out Max Dugan for crying after a game. I think Caleb Williams is a tremendous talent at QB. I think he's mentally weak and spoiled at the same time and I'd want nothing to do with him as an NFL team. He's not facing anything different than what hundreds of other NCAA players do. He's a diva.

I feel most people thought him and Riley going to USC would bring alot of success and at least a CFP appearance.   Hasn't worked out that way.

We haven’t been the most careful with the football either, so that’s why I kept it close

I'd still take him in a heartbeat.
