I have no idea who the eagles qb will be this year

Watson in name, Hurts/Flacco combo in reality

3 wins.

Yes.

I recognize that NFC fans probably don't watch many Chargers games but boy I can tell you some stories about losing games in the last minute

I just want you to know I spent 2 days in SD last week and it seems no worse for the wear without the Chargers. Hell, I biked past Petco Stadium and some old crazy lady bid me a very hearty welcome

I'm rooting for him but my heart tells me we drafted another Desean Jackson, maximum, who is electrifying when healthy but not healthy nearly often enough. Hopefully, he at least has the professional instincts not to spike the football before crossing the goal line or run 20 yards backwards on kick returns but looking at guys his size over decades of NFL players, it's hard to be optimistic.


In other words, I'm an Eagles fan.

If we have another djax then we have a #1 WR

Anyone writing off Smith before watching him play a down in the NFL is fool

I don’t think they should spend draft capital on stopgap players when they have a gaping hole at QB1.

Correct take. The only possible twist that could get us significant wins this season would be Deshaun Watson, but even that wouldn't be much. Honestly this roster needs a full rehaul and it needs it now. I'm of the opinion that the state of things is that we have Goedert, Graham, Slay, Smith, Lane J, Dillard (I loving hope), and some aging stars like Brooks, Cox, Ertz, and Kelce. Outside of that grouping we have a bunch of weak players that should for the most part be backups or rotational pieces instead of starters. Hurts could end up doing ok and this season will answer that for us but this roster is nowhere near a competitive level and with half of the actual core about to age out we might as well lose the next two years getting a team together again.

quote:

There was a brief scare when first-round pick DeVonta Smith limped off the field after injuring his right foot while running a route in seven-on-sevens. Smith was evaluated by the medical staff then proceeded to jog on the sideline. He eventually returned by the end of practice.

It’s notable that Smith’s ankle/foot was being evaluated and not his knee. He missed more than two weeks this summer with a knee sprain before playing in the second preseason game. Smith’s durability was a source of speculation during the draft because of his frail frame, but he avoided major injuries in college and played 54 games in four years.

I hope and pray that one day we can see a division that wins exactly 0 games against any team outside of itself. I think we have the stuff!

Vegas odds are a 6.5, and frankly that sounds right to me. They have a schedule that pits them against only 3 'real' playoff teams, they lost More snaps to injury than almost anyone last year, and they've added a bunch of budget, perfectly capable free agents.

I'd take the over at seven wins.

We will see, i just don’t think Hurts is gonna show us anything and our passing offense needs someone to throw the ball. My only optimism rests on the fact that we have burners at X and Y that could theoretically mitigate poor accuracy

Our DL is good but good luck having that matter with our back 7.

Getting a feeling that a good number of you are worried your bum team is going to be rolled by the boys this year.

you have the best team in the division unless the Skins have an offense this season in which case you're guaranteed second. Imo heinike ends up starter midseason and is better than Fitz

Jeffery, Jackson, Maclin, Ertz (who is not a real TE), Celek, Avant, Torrey, TO, and now Smith and Reagor. I don't think its a realm in which we necessarily fail, this is just Eagles fans being mad about a few bum years at the position.

Jeffery counts in that he gave us 1.5 years but I would say he was basically a bust. I had very high hopes for him but he pumpkined hard.

Though I am definitely a Fulgham truther and believe it was stupid and bad of us to cut him.

He got hurt he didn’t pumpkin lol

Also he played for a QB WHO LITERALLY DID NOT THROW TO WRS

Bruh it's not about his direct production, it's about how he opens up the offense. Jeffery fell off a cliff in 2019 before the Lisfranc and 2020 he had a full year to recover from it and still did piddling poo poo. I call that pumpkining.
