OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): When You're Up, It's Never As Good As It Seems, And When You're Down, You Never Think You'll Be Up Again

If Da Bears get 1st overall it's gonna get spicy.

Unless they trade that for Chase Claypool too. Baffling.

One day Fieldsy will get actual help along the Oline and at receiver. One day.

OR

Nah that's a diabolical idea and everyone would flame me for even suggesting it.

I've been to one birds game. My brother in law had an extra ticket for opening day of Wentz's rookie season. We parked in the city and hit a bar or two before taking the train to the sports complex. Seeing everyone around town wearing their Eagles gear, doing chants and what not, was pretty cool. Opening day, and also home opener, so the parking lot was everything you'd expect. Wentz threw a long TD pass to Algolar on the opening drive. I smoked a J with some random guy on the outdoor stairwell. One of our group fell asleep (passed out) sometime in the 3rd or 4th. I was yelling "Defense!" til I was hoarse. We all thought we finally had our QB1. All in all a pretty epic experience for my first and only time.

The crowd bullied Jeff Saturday out of kicking a FG.

*Edit* I am yet again begging Howie to bring me Nyheim Hines.

Eagles games are one of a kind in Philly, especially if they are decent-good

i've been to 1 Eagles game..it was a PO game against the Bucs after a huge snow storm and the Bucs lost and i was both cold and unhappy lol

 

[trostol]

heck of a throw and catch by Allen and Brown

 

[JojoTheWhale]

@Chinatown88 Non-zero chance they trade Fields if they do end up with 1OA. It’s a shame the Lions are in the division. Jets maybe?

I've seen stupider things happen. But I'm intrigued.

 

[kudymen]

I am absolutely **** at this sport - but this last touchdown (and throw by Allen) by the Bills was amazing

I hate hate hate sports.

I hate them. I hate them. I hate them.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

never was at a eagles game. Never at a sixers game. Never at a flyers game. And most likely i will never be!

but i saw Giroux and Briere live in Berlin vs my Kölner Haie! Hell of a game!

All i need to be ready to die!

Eagles picking 10th or 11th. Pretty decent considering the run the Saints unfortunately went on late.
But probably too late to entice someone to give up a lot to trade up for a QB. Will be interesting to see where they will go with this pick.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Texans lol.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Ummm… Dolphins game the ref called a safety there at the end which should make the score 11-6.

They didn’t record it so game ends 9-6.

Point spread was 3.5.

Why 10 or 11? Looks like 10 to me. Saints have the weaker SoS of teams not yet over who will be 7-10.

I'll still take it. Better than the pick we had last year

And yes, the trade up QBs will be gone. OT might be a trade up value there though. Although we could really use a lane replacement soon too, maybe to play guard now. Have a couple oline UFAs too.

Well the Titans SOS is only 0.002 better for now and there are still games to be played today. Not sure it will stay that way.

I kind of thought we were a lock to go pass rush with that pick but I am not really sure about it anymore considering that we are probably out of range of the top tier guys. I am also not sure if this is the draft to go with an OT that high. I would rather give Stout a later pick on a development guy personally.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I would guess if you asked them today, the realistic hope would be one of the two Clemson DL at 10/11.

OL is always a possibility, but I'll believe they take a DB that high when I see it.

And then there's WR, but I think QJ is going to blow up the combine and not make it that far. I don’t think they’d take their WR2 or WR3, but if they had their clear WR1 available, it would only be a mild surprise to me.

I would be shocked if they go WR after trading up for Smith and giving up a 1st and 3rd for Brown.
I assume Murphy will be long gone at #10-11 (but who knows how things will go over the next few months).
I would also be surprised if they go DT again. But I guess Bresee has the type of pass rushing upside that they might covet and could be a nice fit next to Davis.

I would not surprised at all if Howie is looking for a dance partner in a trade down once again if OT and WR are the top options at our pick.

 

[Chinatown88]

From the decent amount of draft I've been listening and reading over.

Mayhaps Murphy or Breese are there. I was inclined to believe both of would be there just outside the top 10. But with Verse going back I think Murphy is more of a top 8 pick. OT is always an option so there's Skoronski, Jones, or Johnson Jr. Could take a corner but I'm not so sure it's Ringo. That guy makes me feel indifferent almost to the point of dislike because of his play this season.

Trade down and scoop up Brian Branch, I love that lad. Or trade down and take Bijan. My early mental thoughts.
