Let me be the first to say....

 

FUG what Eagles fans say! Whatever respect you guys are gleaning from a few misc posts literally are drops compared to the rest of their fan base as well as the media thinks of us. If i had my way this thread would not even be here because what Eagles fans have to say or think (of any team) is the least meaningful.

 

Trash piles do occasionally yield some gold. Hurray for that. Yet who wants to dig through trash to find it? Are we that desperate for recognition from such a club to get kicks because a handful are insightful enough to see whats really up?

 

Fug the Eagles. I hope we pull fire alarms on them, our fans throw poo at their bus, our hookers infect their players..and our city treats them like trash. At least then they will feel right at home.

Drop the trap game please.  There is no way in hell after the embarrassment Philly put on us last year are they overlooking the Eagles.

One of Rivera's greatest attributes is he was a former player.  He knows the week to week mindset and makes sure NO ONE look past the Eagles. He makes sure we keep with the "Our most important game is our Next game" mentality.

Moreover, it's not a trap game when the other team is currently 6th in the NFC. Trap game = Detroit/Chicago

My good buddy who is a huge Eagles fan and generally knowledgeable football fan sent me this text last night:

"Next week should be interesting.  Both teams seem to have a top 5 defense and 1 team has a great QB with 1 good weapon while the other team has a poo QB with 6 good weapons."

Well he knows what he's talking about on offense but the Eagles a top 5 defense? Oh puh lease.

Their D is pretty damn good, especially considering the positions Bradford puts them in with his turnovers.  They're middle of the pack (15th) in yards per game, but they're 6th in points allowed.  They'll give up yardage, but they're stingy to give up points.

Comparatively, the Panthers rank 7th in both yards per game and points allowed.

They've also forced the most turnovers in the NFL (16) compared to our 11 turnovers.  The big difference there is that the Eagles have turned the ball over themselves 14 times compared to our 5.  Our D should have opportunities to create some turnovers this week.

Their defense has looked really good, but they have also faced 6 traditional drop back statue passers and have been able to pin their ears back and blitz while playing man on the back side.

If they do that against us they better tackle Cam or else he is going to break off huge runs on scrambles.

They also haven't faced any read option looks so it will be interesting to see if they can maintain their discipline against us.

I expect us to try and pound the ball and run clock (much like every week), to keep the defense rested for Eagles tempo.

The only game they have been halfway impressive on offense is the Saints game, and the Saints gift wrapped that with numerous defensive penalties and offensive turnovers.

Take care of the ball, finish drives, and make them drive the length of the field and not short fields and we win.

100% Agree.

The next "trap" game on our schedule is against the Titans in a couple weeks.

A revenge game against Philly to avenge a beat down from last year

A game against the colts and the Andrew Luck hype wagon

A game against the best QB in the league and arguably the best team.

If the panthers lose to any of those teams, it won't be because of a let down.  It will be because the panthers got beat.

The wide 9 left Philly with Jim Washburn back in 2012. It was actually gone before Andy Reid was fired. 

 

They used the wide 9 on Monday against the Giants.  I thought it was gone too.

They used it a lot against the Giants.  Only game I have watched of them this year.  Could of just been a specific matchup thing they pulled out for the week but they definitely were using it.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
