OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Now We Wait And See What The Future Brings

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I just had the greatest idea. What if they took the name "Steelers," and then the shitstains who used to use that name could be called the "Pittsburgh Eatdicks"

Can you imagine if something like that happened in real life for real? Like how many times have your deepest wishes come true? It's pretty rare. Man, that would be so awesome. Either way, the Football Teams suck.

Reminds me of every Premiere League team name.

Reminds me of every Premiere League team name.

Thats because most of the premiere league teams were founded well before sports teams were designed to be huge commercial ventures, and were named after their local history or geography, not after what 'cool' nickname they could find.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

I'm confused. TO appears to start about 10 yards ahead.

It's the optical illusion from using the fisheye lens, like the flat earth guy who used to build his own steam rockets.

Mitchell is elite.

Mitchell is elite.

This just in: Soldier Field will be undergoing renovations next off-season and rumor has it the indoor temperature will be set to an oddly specific 66°

(The bears do play at Soldier Field right? I'm not looking it up)

They do, that’s some good Chicago Bears stadium knowledge right there.

It's from my insider sources

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Per multiple sources, the deal specifically prohibits players from engaging in certain behaviors this season. Players cannot attend indoor night clubs, indoor bars (except to pickup food), indoor house parties (with 15 or more people), indoor concerts, professional sporting events, or indoor church services that allow attendance above 25 percent of capacity.

Players can be fined for violating these rules. Moreover, if they test positive after engaging in prohibited activities, they will not be paid for the games they miss. Also, future guarantees in their contracts would be voided.

God forbid people act like normal human beings during a pandemic in order to make sure that their place of work can continue to function and thus continue to receive a paycheck.

Wtf he mean "can't be serious" lolthe other leagues have bubbles ffs

Adams is a very good player but I just don’t find it worth that much giving up especially when you’re going have to pay him big bucks soon.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

That seems like a lot for a safety.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Calling out the owner and head coach in the same week will get you what you want.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I don’t think it’s crazy to say Adams is a top 10 player in football based purely on quality of play, but he’s nowhere near the top 10 most valuable. That is bananas given the coming leaguewide cap crunch.

It’s not just that he’s a Safety. It’s that he’s a box guy. If he was an All-World Center Fielder that enabled you to excel at Single High coverages, that’s a completely different valuation.

 

[BigToe]

wow

 

[DancingPanther]

Yup, nope

 

[The Madrigal]

Two first round picks for a player at a non-premium position like Safety is flat out stupid. He's a great young player and he makes them better, but that will ultimately go down as a bad move.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Seattle would have just pissed the picks away anyway.

 

[JoemAvs]

Seattle would have just pissed the picks away anyway.

Odds are Carroll and Schneider just are sick of everyone (correctly) lambasting their awful 1st round picks.....
Now that won't be an issue for the next 2 years....

Honestly I don't think with the flat cap there are more than a handful mostly QBs that are worth 2 1sts + a huge contract extension right now..
Adams certainly is not one of these players..

 

[Chinatown88]

It begins

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Peter King phrased that pretty dramatically. I thought the guy was like dying initially with the phrase “battle against COVID-19”.

@JojoTheWhale Steve Palazzolo from PFF was just on Dan Patrick and he was really interesting. I don't know how reliable or credible he is, though. He was talking about how we are in a period where we have a lot of middle-class QBs who can have nice production if the situation around them is right, but unlike Mahomes, don't necessarily make much on their own. That's a terrible paraphrase, but it was interesting. He was also talking about defenses building from the back now.
