Philbillys don't let facts get in the way of insulting someone. It's their culture. Insult complete strangers before fighting them. Rob you if they win and then Philadelphia Parking Authority tows the victim's car while their recovering in the hospital. Completely different set of manners than Southern gentlemen and ladies have.

I love Parking Wars. Just sayin' lol

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.

Nothing builds confidence than playing the NFC East. If Philly thinks they are going to beat us like the Giants on our field they are going to get there Hart broken.

we play Luck before Rodgers. Say what you will about Luck but him and cam are the two best young qbs in the league and he has shown time and time again he keeps his team in football games

 

Yes, Luck is good.

I watched him in the New England game though and he threw some of the most horrible passes I've ever seen, missing wide-open receivers.  He threw stupid passes too into coverage.

The myth of Football Jesus Andrew Luck is just exactly that... a myth.  He's just another good, young QB with potential.

he is trying to play through a shoulder injury.  that is like watching Cam last year and calling him slow and overhyped as a great runner.

Luck can play lights out.  He still throws a couple of balls every game he shouldn't.....but his health is holding him back this year.

Except that his completion % this year is pretty much at his career average.

And his interception rate isn't that much higher (7% this year instead of his career 5%).

I'm not big on completion %.  Offense and what QBs are asked greatly influence what a good % should be for any given player.   Neither Newton or Luck play the pitch and YAC game some fancy completion % QBs have.

Luck has is flaws and you can clearly see he is hurt now.  But healthy, I got him and Cam in the same tier.

Fair enough.

That ain't gonna keep me from not giving him the benefit of the doubt after three years of the NFL media giving him blowjobs though... lol.

Oh now I do agree media has unfairly propped up just about every young QB in the NFL.....and tried to push Newton down.

Wilson, Kapernick, Luck, RGIII....media all jumped quick to put these guys in the highest tier arguable at any success.   Newton has always been the redheaded step child of young NFL QBs.....him and the actual red head in Cincy.   

I personally think Cam, Luck and Dalton are better overall QBs than Wilson.  Wilson has been hidden in that offense and is the worst of the 4 (Cam, Luck, Dalton, Wilson) playing in the pocket.

if you haven't watched Bill Burr's standup in Philly on youtube.  Google it, watch it, thank me later.

If you take a look at his blog entry in regards to that specific performance about what happened it makes it that much better.

http://billburrlive.blogspot.com/2008/09/city-of-brotherly-love.html

As small excerpt.

So we pull into the Tweeter Center and immediately gaze upon a sea of White dudes, most with shaved heads, grilling and drinking. If it weren..t for all the Eagles jerseys, I would have thought we were at a White Power rally.

cam makes just as many bad throws as luck. The difference is this year cam is getting MVP talk and luck isn't. All because the panthers have a better team than the colts. The colts have no oline or defense. Luck sat 2 games. Imagine if he was healthy for those two division games were 40 year old hasselbeck embarrassed the Texans. 

Again a lot of y'all fall into traps the media sets for y'all hook line and sinker. 

Cam and luck are virtually neck and neck stat wise but everyone in their mother who is still butt hurt about luck staying at Stanford that extra year won't allow themselves to move past that and concede that they are both the two best young qbs in the league.

Not at all. Cam hasn't been hailed as the jesus young QB that does no wrong like Luck. The real difference is the media is finally seeing what they refused to see and report.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
