What Eagles Fans are Saying

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.

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.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
