A positive note on todays game

Peppers, Davis and Beason played well. Really, the defense played decently (or at least far better than I expected). Most of the Eagles points from turnovers resulted from great field position. You just can't expect the defense to play flawlessly when they're out there the entire game.

Munnerlyn and Goodson showed some promise returning. We had a decent first drive.

I made some delicious Philly cheesesteaks.

I also started a new tradition of having a Black and Blue (Guinness floated over Blue Moon). I'm thinking I might not continue that one.

Ahhh, clever idea. was it not any good?? I like both of those, it would be a shame if it wasnt good cause that could be the panther beer at bars.

Positives:

-Godfrey making tackles!

-Peppers is playing like he's worth the money

-The D performed surprisingly well

-We still have Steve Smith

-Beason never seems content with acceptable play, he now appears to have ups

-Thomas Davis will be our defensive MVP

-Discount the fumble recovery and the BS punt return (no block in the back call?) and we only lost by 14 points.

-D Will is still a playmaker (if the coaches let him get some damned carries!)

-Matt Moore: It wasn't a great outing, but his first pass, he stepped up in the pocket and made a great pass to Muhummad on third and long for 27 yards (too bad Rosario f**ed it up)

-It can't get much worse than this week

-A season isn't 1 game long, we have 15 more to go

-We injured Donovan McNabb

-The Eagles injured McCown

-We ain't Tampa Bay

Negatives:

-Delhomme...Delhomme, was um...Delhomme picked up where he left off

-We are following this beat down with a game against a pretty solid looking Atlanta

-All of a sudden I'm more worried about the offense than the defense

-The O-line were crap

-On second thought...we ain't Tampa Bay

It's pretty good, though I admit I sort of did it for the novelty of it. I like both beers, but I prefer Guinness by itself. Or if I'm going to do a Black and Tan or a Half & Half, I prefer to go with a Black Cherry: Guinness over Sam Adams Cherry Wheat.

I guess I'm superstitious, I just hate to start and continue a new tradition with such horrible results. :o

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
