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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
