Excellent results for the Saints today!Posts that preceded unfortunate events
If we can’t keep a team from going 75 yards in 30ish seconds, we don’t deserve to win. Our secondary gets exposed again.Posts that preceded unfortunate events
The line was Texans -2.5 and they didn’t have a kicker so won by 2 
Wow. Houston
Definitely the best redzone of the year so far.
Thanks!@calodo2003feel for you.
Hey, we got beat by an all-time performance by a rookie QB. As irritated as I am that we made basic errors today, good for him. He / they deserved the W.
It’s pretty spooky how the Vegas betting houses can set the lines.The line was Texans -2.5 and they didn’t have a kicker so won by 2
I always laugh whenever Jason Kelces snaps the ball. It comes out twice as fast as any other centre in the NFL.
100% agreed. The quality and drama is unparalleled to other GWs.
Cam Akers may have torn his achilles.
Yep. A bit of breathing room at the top of the division now.
I feel you. Losing in that manner is gutting.
Daniel Jones is a $40m per year quarterback.
Watching the Falcons and Bucs collapse in almost exactly the same way was so satisfying
Yep, shouldn't happen.
But I liked the things we did on offense today, hopefully some basic corners have been turned. Can't ask more of Baker & the offense during our last drive for the TD. Seeing our D deteriorate from the quality games they produced in September is disheartening, especially as this is Bowles' bread & butter.
Falcons lost a lead late? That almost makes up for our poor final 40 seconds.Watching the Falcons and Bucs collapse in almost exactly the same way was so satisfying
The NFL version of Antony?
Oh wow. I just assumed Jimmy G was injured because it's Jimmy G. But he's been benched.
We have no one to cover Ceedee
I'd say he's more Timo Werner than Antony.
Or Parsons. Scary shit
Dallas not embarrassing themselves so far. Progress!
It's nice to see Dak remembers he has some pace to escape pressure versus just holding on too long in the pocket like he's done the last couple years.
Just can’t get off the field at all. Dak making big play after big play
Must...not...mention...Dallas...kicker
Is that really Dallas's ball? The Eagles player recovered it clearly and then 3 seconds after he was stripped of it on the ground.
Rugby scrum play, should be outlawed - there's no skill or innovation in it. It's just rugby scrumming.
As soon as Swift goes down there everyone knows what’s coming next
Btw, it was illegal to push a ball carrier forward but the NFL for some reason elected to eliminate that rule in 2005.
The issue with it is that defenses can't do the reciprocal move by having the secondary push into the D line. It's essentially like a 8 man rugby scrum offense against the front row for the defense. I kind of hope another team gets good as it as well so it gets more focus and banned.
I don’t like it. I go out of my way to avoid Eagles games if I can.
So annoying that we have got the cowboys in so many difficult situations but just keep getting beaten on the big plays
It will be interesting to see if enough owners/GMs vote to outlaw it for 2024. The one thing in its favor so far is no serious injury yet (that I'm aware of). If a a player gets a leg/neck/back/something snapped it will certainly come up in meetings.
Of course Gallop gets his one chance and drops it.
You can probably replace 'Cowboys' with every team the Eagles have played this season. 3rd and long has been a major problem.
Giants....
The play is a complete mismatch due to what I said, so it will be a sporting integrity change. I think they'll end up with a rule that the ball carrier can't be pushed by their own team until they clear 5 yards past the line of scrimmage. That way you still will get the exciting plays when a ball carrier breaks past the D line and is driven by his teammates in the backfield.
Not many QBs in the league can squat 500-lbs. That said, I think a beast RB like Henry could theoretically work.
If the league permitted a defensive leverage to it, like perhaps a substitution to add more DL/LB size, and/or something where defensive player can use his teammate for over the top leverage (which is illegal currently), and the offense could not change the call... that might be interesting to see if the success rate drops.
Shock. Get rid of McDaniels, get some energy and fun, and good results. AOC looks pretty good too
