I feel like a designed run or two for Car-dog would have been a good play call, but the plays called were good, Carson just couldn't get it done

CyberPingu posted:I should have probably said defense wasnt the biggest problem. Well, Carson Wentz had just completed something like 15 passes in a row, a streak that was only broken by an uncalled pass interference in the endzone. I know what you're saying, but Wentz was looking unstoppable, until he wasn't anymore. e: https://twitter.com/pdomo/status/1054336443693350912 NotWearingPants fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Oct 22, 2018 |

Yodzilla posted:What the hell is wrong with Clement? Is he playing hurt? Yeah, probably, and I didn't see the game yesterday (it wasn't on TV in my area) but what were you expecting out of him? He's a good third-down back who can contribute in the passing game and sometimes take a handoff, but he's probably never going to be an impact guy, he's not anything special as an athlete, there's a reason he wasn't drafted. Obviously he surpassed expectations in his first year, but I think that was more a case of him learning the offense quickly and being able to play to his full potential right away, it doesn't necessarily mean he has a lot of room to grow from there. He's not a high-upside guy is what I'm saying, yes he's 23 but he kinda just is what he is probably. Also yeah, he's probably hurt. euphronius posted:Meanwhile NE is 5-2 with Kenyon Barnor Over half of Barner's rushing attempts came yesterday and he has only actually played in 3 games for them. But they are 3-0 in the games he played so, sure, Barner MVP The funny part to me is that he doesn't even return punts for them, when that was pretty much the only reason he was even on the Eagles last year. He only has 63 rushing yards in 2018, but that's more than he had in 2017.

I don’t think Clement is a super star but he’s a solid second RB that can usually run, catch, and block well. Except now Smallwood is getting more looks but can’t block and yesterday Clement had, what, six carries for eight yards or some crap? I genuinely think he’s better than he’s been playing, I’m just surprised by his low numbers.

Losing by a field goal to a rival in the NFC East make you rage trade a 1st round pick for a middling receiver. NFC East owns.

doesn't he only have one year left on his deal? e: not really thrilled with the report that the Eagles offered a second for Cooper. we already have the better version of him, and his contract is up next year anyway. indigi fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Oct 22, 2018 |

indigi posted:doesn't he only have one year left on his deal? "In 2019, Cooper is scheduled to count for a $13,924,000 against the cap on his fifth-year option." So, yes, one more very expensive year. I assume the idea would be to extend him this year, but it's not going to be cheap.

We can all hope that Cooper plays well enough to earn Dak Prescott an extension too.

Lots of people acting like Cooper is complete poo poo. He was probably worth a second, Jerry definitely overpaid but not by a lot.

They could have thrown a 5th rounder, and by god they would have found a way to seriously regret the deal. They're bad at building teams, they're even worse at trying to patch up the one they've already got.

Peterson has asked the Cardinals to trade him. Hes definitely not looked like himself this year, but Howie, do the necessary. Unless we get him to play 10 yds off all the time and ruin him like Namdi

Trading a second-rounder for a guy who was good two years ago seems pretty questionable to me. Also, the Cowboys trading high draft picks for WR's in general right now seems pretty questionable to me. They're a mediocre team with a backup-tier QB, and I don't think a WR will fix that. It's not like there's zero possible benefit for Dallas, he could help them win the division, re-sign with them, and go to a bunch more Pro Bowls for them, but I think it's more likely he doesn't make an impact, Dallas finishes with a losing record, and they waste what could have been a top-15 pick.

Yeah, but only 50% last year over a much larger sample size. Again, he could be really, really good or he could be meh. I would say he's more likely to be meh at this point. You can blame Carr for his lack of production in the last year and a half, but it's not like Prescott has been any better over that period.

The Browns traded a star WR to the Pats for peanuts but that shouldn't set the market.
