Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Vegas, Baby! (2023 Regular Season)

You found the one person worse than ESP.

Great, I now feel dumber after clicking on that video...

What kills me, however, are the lower-case "yeah"s by the other guy. You can almost hear his thoughts "where the heck is this naysayer going with this insane take??"

The Bills either getting the #2 seed tomorrow or missing the playoffs all together is going to be top tier.

If Eagles had any dignity they would forfeit their spot and the nfl would allow Buffalo to switch conferences and take their place.

Stroud has a crazy quick snap delivery when he's rushed.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Stroud has a crazy quick snap delivery when he's rushed.

Overall he's just another OSU QB. Collins is carrying him. He sucks.

 

[Rebels57]

Not great play calling by Steichen this last drive...but thats gotta be caught.

A lot of people hated what the Texans did last year, thinking they gave away the #1 pick in this upcoming draft.

But not me!

Turns out the team who traded up to not draft Stroud did that. And the Cardinals, who didn’t make sure they got the higher pick, still don’t know if they did!

When you break it down, they got the quarterback, and the top pass rusher (almost always going to be the top defensive player). Were you going to draft either of them next year?

But they just took their quarterback. They’re not doing that again next year. If Stroud wasn’t their guy, they take Anderson 2OV and move on.

You’re not planning to be a 3-win team next year, so you’re not getting on getting someone as good as Anderson.

I think if anything, the Cardinals should’ve made sure they were in fact getting the higher pick.

But you’re not planning to be the worst team in football next year. They play in a bad division vision, they play the NFC South, and have an extra home game. That could be 5 wins right there.

They rushed the 2OV pick in. They knew exactly what they were doing, just no one could figure out which player they wanted. Turned out it was both.

Next year’s draft class is a whole year away. This time last year, this QB class was supposed to be the generational one. Way too many things change during the draft process much less the actual season. Matt Barkley and Spencer Rattler were once a generational QBs, too. Players might be better, they might be worse. 6 months ago the suggestion of Joey Porter, Jr falling out of round 1 would have most people laughing.

As for the team, people ask, I guess every year because the Texans have been changing coaches every year, but there’s usually that job no one wants and who on earth would take it, and when someone does it’s because they believe in themselves and their program. How many people had the Seahawks written in stone for 1OV in this draft, locked in for a quarterback, instead of their other first round pick being in the top 10? Football changes way too fast. It’s possible someone else might be better next year, they also might not. Consensus might say one thing, but nobody inside the building, no one gives a shit about that, you have to use your own evaluations of yourselves.

Barkley and Rattler were both absolutely, at worst the #1 QB (but still top 5) if not #1 OV going into the season in which they were Heisman favorites. Barkley actually stayed in school in a year he could’ve been 1 OV. Of course, there’s examples on the other side - nobody had Joe Burrow as that type of guy until he beat Alabama, and then solidified it by shitwrecking teams led by Hurts and Lawrence in the playoff. Every draft process and evaluation is different. I’m not saying there’s no risk here for Houston, but having the chance to take guys who are 1 and 2 on your board at the highest-leverage positions is a Bedard-like situation, it simply doesn’t happen.

Damn dude

 

[achdumeingute]

Shrug, Minshew made a crap throw as well. Not fully knowing the route... my man was still running and got a pass behind him.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Yeah, it’s over.

 

[Halladay]

Yeah, it’s over.

You are just realizing this now? The moment I walked out of Lumen Field 3 weeks ago I knew the 2023 Eagles were done. If they lose today and next week, I think Nick should be sacked and it would be justified. Would be 1-6 after starting 10-1. Next year they need to not neglect the middle of the field on both sides of the ball.

I realized it the second that they fired Chip Kelly and was only solidified by the fact they won’t play Mariota.

So, ha! I win.

Charles from Pasadena will be available next offseason.

I'd be surprised if Siriani and Johnson are gone. Either this is Nicks offense, or it was Steichens, and I can see why they tried to press the replay button without making significant off-season changes. I can also understand not making significant modifications mid season. Offense was "playing well" through the bye.

It's pretty clear its no longer working. If nothing is done in the off-season, I doubt they get another year.

However, Defensive coaches, 99% some massive changes there this off-season.

 

[deadhead]

Howie deserves his share of blame, no 3rd WR, no reliable 2TE target (Stoll is fine as a blocker but . . . ).
Lane also has really fallen off (nagging injury?).

Same on defense, brought back Barnett, put too much faith in Dean, old secondary showed its age.

But also some injury luck regressing to the norm.

i think i just fell asleep watching this Bucs-panthers game lol

I realized it when the Commanders took them to OT.

You managed to watch any of it? Damn. I'm watching Sudoku solves on Cracking the Cryptic now; far more competent performance.

 

[trostol]

Bryce Young looks like a stiff wind will blow him over

 

[bennysflyers16]

I’m calling a massive 1st half for Hurts , like 75 yards passing massive.

 

[tinycars]

I shouldn't watch this game
