Deflategate was a power struggle, not an actual transgression and measured punishment.

Goodell had to win so he could impose dumbass things like TNF, Saturday Night Football, London Games, "I'm just here so I don't get fined", not sharing clips on social media, and players not endorsing any other alcohol except Budweiser.

The strength of victory thing is tainted by beating Dallas with Sanchez at the helm, but they had some good victories and lost some close games. They finish with a point differential of +36 which is tied for 9th.

I'm content with the results. Considering they have a rookie coach and rookie QB, they did well. They showed promise for the future without totally screwing up their draft position with a pointless playoff run that would have gone nowhere.

I'm annoyed they won two meaningless games and hosed up their draft order.

Edit: Dammit I forgot they swapped picks. Nevermind.

Its interesting having played 2 weak teams at the start of a season as opposed to the end, if we had started against the Seahawks and Dallas, then beat the Steelers, people wouldnt have been so high on what would have likely been a 1-2 schedule.

All in all this has been a good year for the Eagles, we have a franchise QB, have really found out where the holes in our team are. Also we won 3 games more than i expected so woop

Plus got that first round pick back

Haha, I punched multiple holes in the wall as a teenager. I'm not sure it's mental illness as much as immaturity. Being a top flight athletic star with people worshiping your every move can stunt your development in other areas. OTOH, I don't repeatedly see headlines like this about other players.

OBJ punching a wall after a playoff loss is literally nothing, except for funny. Punched walls probably happen at least a few times per season. Not saying that it would be acceptable for a normal person to go around punching walls, but this is an incredibly physical game and he wasn't hurting anybody besides himself, or destroying property outside of the stadium.

I don't care about the wall punching so much, it's the other things. Anyway, I'm an Eagles fan so I hope he hits a stud next time.

He may be biased towards Jonathan Allen though because he had Allen as the Eagles' pick in his final mock.

Am I the only one who's not expecting much out of Blount ? He's just hit 30 as a smashy smashy style of runner and his ypc took a hit last year. I guess he's fine as a short yardage back but I'm not expecting him to singlehandedly change Eagles running game.

If he gets 1000 yards and 8 TD's I'll be ecstatic for what he's getting paid.

drat, Kempski is BRUTAL in these:

"Carroll stunk last season with the Eagles, particularly in the second half of the season. He was so bad that the Eagles showed no interest whatsoever in bringing him back, despite having arguably the shakiest corner personnel in the league. The notion that the Cowboys signed him to a three-year deal worth $10 million still confounds me.

That said, I will say that I admire Carroll's commitment to fitting in with the culture of his new team by being arrested for DWI less than three months after he signed in Dallas.."

LMAO:

I don't blame him. Barring a career ending injury he has all the reason to let this play out on the open market. Washington can still tag him and match any offer that's provided, or they can part ways and Cousins becomes the face of whoever wins in a bidding war between LA and SF.

He's still made a fuckload of money. It's a good gamble.
