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

Questions are good.

In all seriousness, the Bears are a complete dumpster fire. But go look at the late pick on the screen from the Tampa game and see how no one is fooled. It’s not just that it was picked off. It’s how hard it is to pull off misdirection in the NFL. It takes A LOT of practice.

There was even a pair of DBs creeping in to stuff the play even if it got past the DE.

I saw the Chubb injury by accident on Twitter. I hope that he’ll have a full recovery but that was horrifying

He tore 3 ligaments at one time in that same knee in college, playing for Georgia. Recording once from something that severe is hard enough.

Oh no. I didn’t know that. Wow

 

[FLYguy3911]

Yeah not even his worst injury which is hard to believe. He dislocated his knee on that play in college too.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Oh boy.

I’m pretty sure Allen is the only one that gets any consideration. Hard to call that wrong.

I’m interested to see how they suss out the DTs. How the hell do you evaluate Vince Wilfork for example?

*Edit* He missed Randall. Same answer.

Saw a segment years ago on ESPN about HOF voting and someone made the comment that they use McNabb as their barrier. I love it. He said McNabb is the ultimate "Is he in or is he out?" guy. So anyone better than him is in, anyone worse is out. The problem for McNabb is that he is the line. What does that make him, In or Out?

I absolutely love this idea. I think they’re hard committed to Quez, but I would love to be wrong.

I was a big fan of Renfrow when I thought the Raiders may cut him in the offseason. Would be a great add at 3 since Quez is wildly flawed.

The Browns defense has yet to allow a play in the red zone through 2 games.

This soundbite is cut intentionally short to make Fields look bad and cause drama. He goes on to say that he's thinking about coaching points too much while playing.

Yeah it wasn’t that bad of a sound bite.

While we’re at it, Jalen Hurts sucks

They are legit. That defensive front is very disruptive.

I’m pretty sure I was the most vocal about Watson’s previous play being fantastic. Because it was. A few tiny details have happened between now and then that make it hilariously disingenuous to take a victory lap around.

While we’re at it, Jalen Hurts sucks right now. Your timing is as appropriate as your want for 1994-style Screens and less QB runs to cure the ills of the offense. But I know, those games don’t count because they weren’t hand-delivered from above in an orange envelope wearing an adorable little sweater vest and spectacles.

I pointed out at the time that Watson's performance was overrated, counting stats production.
I don't want Hurts to have huge counting stats, that usually means you're not winning games.

The offense needs to play better, but they're 11th in yards and scoring 26.0 ppg on offense, 10th in the NFL. Not bad for a "slow" start .

Now I think Watson is better than this, but I didn't think he was elite in Houston and he certainly isn't in Cleveland. Plus he's a f---g head case and cost an arm and a leg.

I know it’s not technically chocolate milk, but I just had a Yoo-hoo for the first time in years yesterday and it was a delight.

And I tried to explain that his PFF grading was through the roof, the degree of difficulty of what he was asked to do in the offense was high, and his supporting cast was never any better than mediocre, sometimes worse. I'm in complete agreement that counting stats aren't everything. Hell, before the year, I said the most likely outcome for continued improvement from Hurts included less counting stats and we should react accordingly. But you arriving at that Watson conclusion via counting stats doesn't mean I did.

The key point here is that so much happened with Watson the person between now and then that we're no longer having the same discussion. He got sued into oblivion, became the focus of the football world, and missed over a year and a half. That's not the same person let alone the same football player. As you said, he's a head case. No argument at all from me.

Cleanest handoff fake of all time?

The celebration after the fake-sack is honestly just *chef's kiss*
