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

[Beef Invictus]

Sometimes I come across a chart or small group of them that explains things that take me thousands of words.

The Eagles' passing game success Sunday basically comes down to whether they can get the Chiefs to push up. This is yet another way of saying the OL can win this entire side of the ball.

Also a nice summary of why I still wonder how much of Jalen is Jalen (a lot! He has raised his game in ways comparable QBs almost never do in a very short time frame, it stands to reason he will grow more) and how much is his situation/usage/coaching. And with the latter, if it's really a good idea to pay him a ton.

But at this point having taken the team to a SB (and especially if he wins it) you probably just pay him as a reward anyway so it's really moot.

You're trying to get me yelled at, Buff.

Have to be the saltiest team after a non-competitive playoff loss I've ever seen.

Love this stuff. That guy has some interesting tweets.

Correct

Don't give into the temptation. I say that as I'm really tempted to pot stir.

So this means we should come out running, yes?

Paying good/above average QBs elite money is one of the worst things you can do in a league with a salary cap and the draft system.

While Jalen's progress has been phenomenal, he's probably not totally in the elite category yet.

But elite QBs are extremely hard to come by, there's only a handful in a league of 32.

Jalen's trajectory could absolutely put him there in the near future. He's already broken the ceiling of his perceived potential.

The Eagles have no other choice than to gamble on his continued development and pay him for potential. And judging by athleticism, progress within the last year and intagibles alone, that's a bet they absolutely should make.

I'll be watching it from 16th and Chestnut, does that count?

That's good because our O Line is goated

 

[BrindamoursNose]

The closer we get to the game, the more confident I am in us winning a tight one.

Weren’t you the one who said any one of us on this board could have led this team team to a Super Bowl if put in that perfect situation?

I legit only work like 5-6 times a month and only 2-3 of those are in person. I have to be in Bayonne, NJ at 8:00 am on Monday, so I'll be watching from my hotel.

They really need to move the Superbowl to Saturday. I get the tradition and Superbowl Sunday stuff, but can we all just live in reality for a minute and make the logical decision.

I promise you that you can build one. It's extremely easy.

Oftentimes the smaller CLCs are flat out worse than a well-installed air cooler. Some of them are really crap. And some of them are way overpriced, like everything with a pump made by Asetek.

yeah i am sure i could..just more of a time and patience thing..was just surprised that they offered no fans at all as an option..hav ent checked ibuypower but i assume it would be the same way

Tradition is just peer pressure by dead people.

Move. It. To. Saturday!

That kink deserves to be shamed.

No offense, @BigToe
