blue squares posted:Is Washington's win streak going to continue? And what's been the driving factor? Seems like their defense is winning games, but they haven't beaten anyone impressive outside of the division. The Steelers, who have been stomped by the Eagles and the Dolphins, handled them easily. It's hard to say. They completely owned the Eagles defense today, without Reed. But Kirk Cousins always looks great against the Eagles, and of course Jackson always turns into a try-hard for the day. I doubt Washington's domination of the Eagles' rookie 5th round draft pick RT in his first start will be predictive of their play against other teams.

blue squares posted:I don't think pointing to a team being above .500 at the time is a good argument. If they are no longer above .500, that just shows that the team was overrated and the win isn't as impressive Considering that before this season Kirk Cousins had never beaten a team with a winning record, I would argue that it is impressive.

Beet Wagon posted:Assuming Vaitai doesn't let Ginger Jesus get murdered this week, it might actually be a good year for Eagles football (he said, trying to make himself believe I hope Pederson/Stoutland/Vaitai prove me wrong, but I don't expect Vaitai to become much better. I guess it's possible that the Eagles hit the lottery and were able to find a capable rookie offensive tackle in the fifth round, but it seems unlikely. It also seems suspicious that Vaitai was barely mentioned as anything other than a potential candidate for the practice squad before the surprise announcement that he would be starting. He didn't even dress for the first four games. The guy was drafted as a project that could provide depth in the future and, if we got lucky and he improved a lot, maybe a starter someday. In all likelihood, that's what he still is. I think it was stupid to start him and it's stupid to stick with decision against the Vikings when the Redskins just completely embarrassed him.

The original plan was to move Barbre from LG to RT and move Wisniewski to LG. Wisniewski may not be great, but he started for 5 years for the Raiders and Jaguars. Same with Barbre. He may not be great but he's a 9 year vet who has started games. They also have Matt Tobin who is a 4 year vet and has been occasionally taking snaps this year at TE in 3 tight end formations and on obvious running downs.

shyduck posted:It's even more than that, some of it just seems like a general lack of football awareness. Agholor just seems like a hollow vessel out there. He shows flashes, but his game just seems very incomplete. For a 1st rounder in his 2nd year, it feels like he's behind. To play devil's advocate, Wentz needs to know the strengths and weaknesses of his receivers. Agholor is not a receiver one can trust to come down with a 50/50 ball. Sort like Jordan Matthews is a receiver who seems incapable of dragging his feet on catches near the sideline. I do realize I'm nitpicking the performance of a rookie QB here. Unrelated question: If Dallas' offensive line is so good, then why is Romo always hurt?

axeil posted:While we're on CousinsChat I think the Skins o-line and Cousins deserve big props for how they dealt with our pass rush. We had been eating QBs alive the first four weeks and they effectively used the running game and screens to completely negate that strength. I think they also were helped by playing with a lead all game so they didn't feel like every drive had to be a TD. I mentioned Cousins' success vs the Eagles earlier. After this past week he is 3-1 vs. the Eagles with 10 TDs, 2 INT, 336 yards per game, and a rating of 101.3 wtf? And for some reason he's been poo poo against the Giants' historically bad defenses.

Now that we've talked the Romo thing out we can go on to more interesting things... Eagles DT/Athlete Beau Allen got his first start today and had a few tackles and a fumble recovery, on which he demonstrated his part-time fullback form:  He also tied his beautiful blonde locks in a pretty pink ribbon to support breast cancer awareness.  His seems like a pretty cool guy and a name to watch in the NFC East for years to come.

NattyBo posted:By The Numbers: Why It's Time To Pay Kirk Cousins His numbers certainly look great when you exclude his first 3 seasons, or 40% of the games he's played in the NFL. That's Sam Bradford math. Maybe cut the sample size smaller and just take his games against the Eagles and he'll sound like Tom Brady.

Is there a place I will be able to get a cheap Huff jersey now? Or were Huff jerseys a custom job that aren't going to be sitting around in surplus anywhere? Pretty hosed up the guy is going to probably go to jail for multiple years for crimes that would have only warranted a citation if he had been on the Philly side of the bridge. And people in New Jersey wonder why their taxes are so high. Putting people in jail for stupid poo poo costs money dumbasses.

Yodzilla posted:I gotta say I'm pretty happy with Smallwood. That dude has done alright this season. Yeah, I like the way he runs. He's like one cut and go. He looks like a cannon ball through the interior line. I actually like Barner too. I think they can be a nice combo, with Smallwood more of the interior back and Barner the guy that can get outside and turn the corner.

TheChirurgeon posted:You're wrong about almost everything most of the time and I think it's hilarious that you think the solution to the Eagles' problems is a 30 year-old Desean Jackson but you're right about this, at least On one hand, I'd agree that DeSean Jackson isn't a franchise changer at this point. But on the other hand he would be an incredible upgrade over the Eagles current outside WRs. He could come back and only do the numbers he's putting up in Washington and he'd pass Mike Quick for the #3 spot on the Eagles all-time receiving list. He's one of our best receivers of all time and noted idiot Chip Kelly got rid of him for nothing. I'd want him back for purely sentimental reasons even if he had nothing left.

And obviously most of those other teams with 5 wins didn't have to play NFC East opponents three times. The NFC East is the best division in football. This is a simple concept and I'm not sure why you are having trouble keeping up.
