If it was last December 30

Imagine the Eagles coming to BofA at the end of December last year. Would you have expected a win or a loss?

Now rip out the core of their defensive secondary (Dawkins and Bradley), toss out two offensive linemen, add depth for Westbrook and bring Curtis back.

On the Panthers, pretend Kemo is out (just like at the Giants), replace Lucas with Marshall, give us a better third receiver, and toss in a better third running back than Goings.

What kind of outcome would you have predicted?

I would have expected an "L" then, to answer your question. Philly is one of those teams where I always expect the Cats to lose to them.

Yeah, when was the last time we beat them in the regular season?

Since we have better luck in the playoffs, maybe the question would be better if the date was changed to January 10 and the Cardinals were switched with the Eagles. It's crazy how we can win or lose in the regular season to a team but the opposite happens in the playoffs.

We've never beaten the Dolphins. Guess that makes it an automatic L?

These sorts of records are kind of silly. We've happened to play the Eagles mainly in years where we weren't very good. The exception was 2003, when we lost to them. Then again, in 99 we weren't very good and we beat them convincingly.

Had we played them last December the home team would have won. I expect a win on Sunday, but the score will be high.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
