Are we ever going to see a flag for holding on a tackle on an outside rusher? I swear, every week, OLB's/edge guys are just getting tackled. I guess the NFL really is trying to eliminate the chip block.

Looking way, WAY ahead,, which is not a good idea, but nonetheless,
who do you think the Eagles match up better against: Buffalo or Kansas City?

KC since I don’t think their receivers or defense is as good as Buffalo’s. Both would be a tough match up though, and the birds would be underdogs. Personally though there’s several teams in the nfc that would make me nervous come playoff time like San Fran, Tampa, or Dallas. I also think not really being challenged all season long is a detriment come playoff time especially against better defenses. The eagles will have played 2-3 good-great teams all year. But then again 2017 was the same way in the regular season…

Well said, though atm Tampa makes no one nervous. They are struggling big time, and their remaining schedule is no cakewalk. I wouldnt be surprised if they missed the playoffs.

@JojoTheWhale so I go down rabbit holes sometimes while watching things because my brain suddenly reminds me of stuff. Went back down the rabbit hole of 2000s Chargers rosters. I remembered my love of Mike Tolbert. Dang that guy was dope.

I’m old enough to remember when people thought this HC couldn’t coach because of a little nerves during his first press conference
I’m old enough to remember the Wentz stans who thought that Jalen didn’t have as high of a ceiling as Carson as a passer and that he’d be no better than a mid tier gadget qb after 4 games in a lost season…

FWIW I didn’t think that meant he couldn’t coach, he just simply made me nervous with his evaluations of competition by playing rock-paper-scissors & dumb stuff like that. Made him seem like a try-hard to me, IMO.

Glad to have him right now. He shows the kahonies to win and he’s got a good start right now. We’ll see how it goes!
