OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Playoffs - Eagles Will Select Sixth Overall In Draft

[achdumeingute]

Yep. You learn nothing from him putting up yards in garbage time against a prevent defense.
I didn't expect him to win the game, but for a guy who has been around the NFL for four seasons, he should have looked a lot more polished.

For those criticizing the Hurts pick, imagine Wentz playing at a high level, the Eagles 8-7 and have to win their last game to make the playoffs and Wentz turned an ankle, would you think Sudfeld would have got the Eagles into the playoffs in that situation?

If you think that's a hypothetical, check out Arizona. Or the Seattle playoff game last season.

totally. I said last year, I didn't object to trying to get some talent in at QB, because Sudfeld and McCown were not going to cut it.

At 53 though, with other BPAs on the board, on him, Not my jam.

All and all, he did better than I thought he would though. I figured he'd be confused and indecisive. He CERTAINLY wasn't indecisive.

FYI, we get the Lions and 49ers next year (4th place sched), along with AFC West, NFC South, and our own division of course.

ESP is such an easy target.

Him putting Paxton Lynch over Wentz at the NFL draft when they were prospects was just...the epitome of this douche.

Pretty deep and profound opinion here from a professional.

That was pretty embarrassing last night. From Champs to Chumps, it's a loser attitude and i hate it.

So there is no way the Bengals do not let Jamarr Chase go pay them right?

I feel like it's going to really be a case of dominoes, maybe moreso than usual. If the Jets keep Darnold and either trade back or pick Sewell, that's going to really effect everything. And we don't know which teams are willing to jump up to secure a QB, which would push back the WRs. The fact that there are three of them that are THAT good should fill you with some comfort if that's the position you want.

And then there's the wild card of Pitts, who is kind of a unicorn by serving as a WR/TE hybrid of unusual quality. (FYI I don't know shit, this is all just based on what I read.)

Chase, Smith, Waddle if you aren't taking Fields.

If you're not a good team, then be the worst team. Simple as that. There's no pride in extended mediocrity. Ask the LA Angels

I have my barf bag ready.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

loser franchise with a fluke 3 game winning streak sprinkled in the middle of a winter.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

The shitstorm over that blatant tank job is hilarious and ridiculous, as predicted.

I'm truly confused by the shit storm about this...Getting statements like "I've never seen something like this in 30 years around the game"...

So lesson is that we should've just scratched out players instead? People seem to be cool with a team keeping all their top players in the press box for Week 17, but not mid-game.

This is going to be a huge scandal now and the media are going to blow it way out of proportion. Should be fun. I wonder what ESP thinks.

Yet Pittsburgh threw a game. Let the Browns ease into the playoffs at the expense of Miami. Steeler win and Miami was in no matter what...

Yep, and not a peep out of anybody because Shitt was "resting Pig Ben for the playoffs." The truth is - and this is ALWAYS the case - a team's only responsibility is to itself. I think Doug could have done himself a favor by being a little less obvious and there wasn't really any purpose in "having a look" at f***ing Sudfeld, who is awful, but the only thing he has to do is worry abut his team and its future. I understand that the Giants are irritated, as I would be, but if you want to be in the playoffs, win your own f***ing games. It's not a good look to whine because your rival didn't do you a favor.

And last but not least, the Giants can f*** off forever and always.

 

[Embiid]

Well at least 2020 and the Eagles are over and done with....

Bring on the Flyers and Sixers and 202Won!

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Sal Pal is talking about how Goodell should "do a forensic analysis" to get to the truth There isn't an ounce of sense in this witch hunt. This is coming from someone (I mean me) who couldn't give a damn about the Eagles one way or the other. I'd be furious if I were you guys and having to listen to this stupid shit.

I'm considering flying to Denver for the Eagles game there

Fun stadium. Let me know if you need brewery Recs - theres a few out there that are VERY good.

Yeah there is a huge double standard there. It is apparantely perfectly fine to "throw" games to rest players for the playoffs but a capital crime if you do what the Eagles did. I guess starting Sudfeld Q1 with some flimsy excuse for why Hurts is out would have been fine, though...

Honestly I have no issue with what Doug did. IMO the blame goes to the NFL for flexing this abomination of a game to prime time and to Washington for playing absolutely horrible.
Normally this game with this lineup would have been out of reach in the late 3rd quarter giving Doug enough time to play Sudfeld...

Well those were the ones that were the little guys when I was out there last.

I would DEFINITELY make a point to see New Image if you find yourself out there. Theres a few others that id recommend but only if i knew how much time you were looking at, etc. There were some fun ones but they were like an hour - hour and a half drive from downtown.

Make sure you hit up Casa Bonita if it's still open.
