  1. Beckham Jr. is reportedly expected to be suspended for a game.

    Eagles still suck they have no intensity consistently and are a soft team.

    They always get bullied by physical rbs and big wrs and hard hitting D,s.

    Desean or Garcon next week pick your poison Eagles getting that secondary torched unless the pass rush has an amazing game.

    Honestly the Redskins deserve to be in the play offs Giants are too inconsistent and the Eagles are just plain frauds and don't have the talent to be a playoff team.

     

    The AFC south is another pure trash division Houston will probably get in.

    Also the biggest threat to the Patriots in the entire AFC is the Steelers they proved they can put up points against even an elite defense twice now after torching Denver and the vaunted L.O.B. a few weeks ago.

    I think that is a bit of an overreaction. Arizona is one of the best teams (possibly the best) in the league. They have the 2nd best record in the NFL, the #2 offense, the #6 defense, #3 in TO difference, and an MVP candidate playing QB. Praising the Redskins because of what the Cardinals did doesn't exactly translate. 

     

    The Redskins are a .500 team with the #16 offense, the #16 defense, and #16 in turnover difference (definition of mediocrity). While led by an average QB who has only thrown for more than 1 TD in 3 games. And look at the records of the teams they beat to get those 7 wins this seasons.

    Rams: 6-8

    Eagles: 6-8

    Buccs: 6-8

    Giants: 6-8

    Bills: 6-8

    Saints: 5-8 (play tonight)

    Bears: 5-9

    In other words they haven't beaten a single team with a .500 record or better. When they faced the Panthers they lost 44-16 where as an inconsistent team like the Giants nearly beat them. Plus keep this in mind the Redskins are 6-2 at home but 1-5 on the road. The Skins final 2 games are in Philadelphia and in Dallas and remember Dallas has 1 win this season without Romo and that 1 win was against the Skins.

     

    But back on the Eagles and Cardinals the Eagles didn't truly get burned until the 2nd half when Rowe and Maxwell were hurt. Up until they got hurt it was only a 17-10 game. The defensive backfield on some plays were literally Biggers and Watkins at CB with Maragos and Reynolds playing safety. When you have 5th string players taking a starters role you are likely in trouble on any team. Both players are still unknown for next game though.

    Even with the defensive issues the real issue in the game was simply just turnovers. Cards had 0 turnovers and the Eagles had 4. Turnovers can literally be 14 point swings as some of those turnovers came on productive moving drives and just fed more points to the Cards. 

     

    It's unlikely any NFC East team would go far in the playoffs but I would rather see the Eagles or Giants in. With the Redskins you pretty much know they will just get beat around by the first team they play but with the Eagles or Giants they have a chance that they may show up and play a competitive game.

    ^^Can't really tell but he can't possibly be throwing punches to the helmet. That'd be harming himself. 

    But both Norman and Odell need to start playing instead of that bs. 

    I don't think he really cares about hurting himself as he has done it before.

    Youtube embeds don't seem to be working for me now but 2 links

    Open hand = not a punch. But he does need to stop that bs

    They finally called a penalty on him for one xD

    But I was referring to this one. Was this open hand? Poor quality

    Including the one that wasn't on Norman? Outside of by definition though repeatedly swinging and hitting players in the head. Seems like he is getting special treatment for being a big name. 

     

    BTW this was something hes been accused of even going back to the preseason.

  5. And in the most underrated/overlooked story line of the season the Panthers are 13-0 with the #1 offense in the NFL and the #4 defense in the NFL that is also #1 in INT's and Fumbles. Their remaining 3 games are against the 5-7 Giants, 6-7 Falcons (who they just beat 38-0), and the 6-7 Buccs (who they beat 37-23 earlier this year).

    They will probably go 16-0.

    Eagles coach Chip Kelly made an attempt to reach out to Bills RB LeSean McCoy on Tuesday, but when Kelly identified himself on the phone, McCoy hung up, according to a Philadelphia Inquirer report.

    Let the hate flow through you

    Maybe Eagles could convince a team like the Jets that Murray would be an upgrade on Ivory and dump his contract for a 5th or 6th round pick.

    I don't doubt Murray wants out and if Chip were honest he regrets letting go MCCoy and Maclin both mainly because of money to overpay Murray and Maxwell.

    McCoy has beef with the Eagles and Desean is always has a huge chip on his shoulder.

    Eagles struggling covering #1 wrs all year.Watkins,Fitzgerald and Floyd, plus motivated Desean and Beckham Jr that is a ton of speed and size Maxwell and a few rookie Eric Rowe have to play man coverage against those guys and will decide these last 4 games if Eagle dbs can contain elite size or elite speed.

    Why would they think Murray is an upgrade over Ivory? If anything Murray looks like a downgrade xD but still it would be near impossible and would only happen if ownership really wanted Murray. If they want to replace Ivory they have so many more options outside of Murray and that contract is brutal it still will have 4 year on it as the 5th highest paid RB and with RBs that is a huge number given they rarely get paid so it drops off hard. For example Sproles is the 9th highest paid RB in the NFL this year and Mathews is the 12th highest paid. Yet Murray is getting paid about 45% more than Sproles this year.

    But yes Murray definitely wants out and it looks more and more like Chip wants him out too. Current reports are Philadelphia is set to list him as the 4th string RB this game while Sproles starts and Mathews backs up with Barner as the #3. 

    To be fair Maclin pretty much chose to leave himself. Chip gave him a large offer but KC just offered more. At the time of the signing they made him the 4th highest paid WR in the NFL. If he stays healthy I actually prefer Mathews running style over McCoy's but outside of Murray wasting carries that trade looks bad with Alonso still not healthy and looking like a shell of his former self and of course with Hicks emerging (though hurt now) Alonso wasn't really needed. Maxwell is overpaid and not a shutdown CB but he is a good CB and the DBs have at least done a better job than last years xD

    McCoy's return could really go ether way. The Eagles defense is obviously fairly familiar with him and may understand how to play him decently. In addition he may be pressing to hard to have a big game and may make some mistakes or get frustrated easily if things aren't going well. 

    The Eagles struggle to cover #1's but the defense always gives up yards they're strength is mainly in turnovers and how well they play is often dictated by the front 7. When they don't get pressure they tend to get carved up but when they are dominating the line they tend to be a very strong defense. For example last week Brady was constantly under pressure getting hit and sacked and he made a slew of mistakes. 

     

    With that said I am starting both Taylor and McCoy in my fantasy league this week xD

    In a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while right?

    Offense still sucked ass all day. D was better but the Patriots handed that game they made so many self inflicted mistakes.

    Reminded me of last year's game vs the 49ers in Santa Clara. Offense couldn't do jack Jenkins pick six, blocked punt, and Sproles punt return td.

    Oh yeah they lost that game. Eagles still losing next two weeks though but maybe they keep it close with this confidence boost now.

    Oh yeah Demarco Murray finally got benched. I hope they trade him in the off-season. Chip deserves another year as Coach for sure GM though I'm 50/50.

    Should have been benched earlier for this... https://vine.co/v/izFptKqeDVu

    I'll take the W though....:lol:

    In all fairness the offense didn't look that bad. Keep in mind they scored 3 TD's on special teams and defense plus Ertz botched the onside kick handle which was literally 4 possessions they didn't have to come on the field. So they didn't get many opportunities in general but when they were on the field they moved the ball well but were hurt by a lot of penalties and Barner's late fumble on a drive they were thriving on. They certainly didn't look great but they looked much more fluent. Many of the penalties were on Peters who may have just been out of sync from all those recurring injuries. 

    Bradford still needs to get a better deep game going but he also has looked better. He hasn't turned the ball over once ether by INT or fumble in his last 3 games and that was his worst QB rated game at 99.3 (103.4 and 118.1 his other ratings) completing 68% of his passes over that stretch. 

    I could see the Eagles losing to the Bills and Cards but I think people are overrating the Bills advantage in the game. Keep in mind they only have 1 more win than the Eagles and have been extremely inconsistent. They lost to the Giants and the Jaguars and snuck out a 1 point victory over the Titans and were evenly matched by the Texans last week until the last 2 minutes. While I feel like Taylor is the kind of QB who may thrash the birds I also don't see the Bills as a consistently good team. They look really good 1 week then awful the next.

     

    Murray won't get traded given no one will trade for that contract even if he was playing decently. Plus if anything RB value dropped hard this year for older players given how well the younger rookies have been doing most teams would probably just draft a cheap young RB and get more production. He also probably won't get cut given it is literally cheaper to keep him as a back up. Similar to what happened with Riley Cooper. Murray would be a 13 million dollar cap hit next year if he was cut.

    Thanks Eagles, you always screw me. I put your defence in, I get negative points.

    I replace you, and you get 24 points . :picard:

    If it makes you feel better I cut them too xD Though that is basically what they are. They give up huge plays and always have but they have always been elite when it comes to sacks and turnovers so they are like a boom or bust type defense.

  10. Jahlil Okafor drama exploded really fast xD 2 videos of him literally knocking out people in Boston in street fights along with a report of another fight with a gun drawn on him and speeding tickets (though thats everyone). 

     

    On a side note Kobe Bryant might be the worst player in the NBA today. Kinda sad as the team is even bending over to him now. possibly embracing tanking 

  11. Eagles defense lost me 6 points xD the other guy has the Panthers defense get him 19. Though I still have hope. It looks like the scores will be really close after these games finish as I am currently holding a 5.9 point lead. Odds are it will come down to Gronk and LeSean for me vs his Brady.

  12. I started Romo and may regret it given how things are going for him xD Though my team has clinched my division in my league so win or loss it doesn't matter much. Just trying to rally for the best record
