Have the Saints never once watched Brady running a drive like this? Ever? Just pretend it's Brees but on another team and treat it like that.

Sitting at #5 now...NO has games vs ATL and CLE left, and they still have something to play for. they probably win their CAR game.
They also come to Lincoln Financial field on Nee Years day and I don't think the Eagles will have the bye or NFC east clinched yet.

I'd say that was an impressive collapse by New Orleans, but the Buccaneers just found their brains for a moment and that's all it took to win the whole game.

Draft pick hype!

P.S. It's wild that 3 of the top 5 or so picks were traded away...Lions, Seahawks, and Eagles in the Top 5 purely because the traders thought they'd be good! Bahaha.

If the Eagles lose to Dallas and Dallas doesn’t lose again the Eagles need to go 15-2 to win the division unless some miracle shit happens with the tiebreaker. Not that that hasn't happened before for the Eagles but...

I dont think Dallas will win out but yeah, that is why that loss to Washington is terrible. Werent going to go undefeated but losing a division game at home not ideal.

Holy shit the Bucs won!?

New Orleans had the very interesting idea of letting Brady do vintage Brady football; fast short passes to take what's available, while winding down the clock so that they'd have zero time to respond.

When they finally used a timeout it was pointless. It was a real display of clock management.

My much greater fear is Minnesota.Their remaining schedule is a joke and I think they will win out. Little margin for error for the Eagles to snare that #1 seed.

If there was no trade deadline date, who would you trade the Saints pick for right now to boost our Super Bowl run? Anyone?

Actually, that wasn't truly vintage Brady football. When Brady would have a long game-ending drive it was to methodically kill the clock while putting the game completely out of reach, not to come back at the end. It was vintage Brees football, which makes it funny.

They do have an easy schedue but they may lose this game in Detroit. They needed a comeback last time against them and they are only favored by 1. They are bound to lose one of these close games.

If Car can beat NO man its getting good. Is Murphy a reach at 5? Eagles could use pass rusher and let Graham and Quinn out to pasture.

I'm having a hard time naming a non-QB that could fetch a pick that high and has even a 5% chance of being available. Jerry isn't handing you Micah Parsons ever.

You're not trading a pick in the 5-6 range for a Guard or an off-ball LB, so that takes some of the best players in football out. They don't need an OT. They can't afford to pay 3 WRs. That leaves EDGE and DBs. Pittsburgh blowing it up and making T.J. Watt available? Maybe Jalen Ramsey? GB rebuilds and trades Jaire Alexander? Honestly, you could probably trade down and THEN trade for one of those guys with the pick you got back plus some stuff.

You have no idea how tempting it is for me to post my KrazyKat™ idea I've had in my head since the season started.

Does it involve a QB who needs a contract immediately?

It's tough to get too KrazyKat because almost all situations with huge change mean you're going from a rookie scale QB to not.

OH GOD IS IT TREVOR?
