Webb looked meh tonight he was behind our worst OL.
However he ran hard but not strong enough was quick but not quick enough.

White
Michel
Hill
Burkhead
Bolden.
 
Is Nate Sudfeld’s success proof Wentz is a system QB?

It’d be hella funny if Wentz has a great career and his only ring was from a playoff run he didn’t even play in. That’ll be tough for Philly fans to argue down the road.

4 wrs? With Edelman making 5 when he returns
 
It’s his car, and he’s gonna drive it how he wants it. Lmao at him talking down to Todd Haley like Haley doesn’t have like ten times the wins as head coach.

Edit: Looked it up, Haley has 19x as many wins.
I know. I found the exchange ironic, as well. What a sh!tshow they have over there. Greg Williams as DC, Haley as OC, and Jackson leading the pack with a 1-31 record.
 
The overreactions tonight are just as funny as the overreactions from the Redskins game, guys. Great comedy, so keep it up!
 
On a more serious note, Brady and Hoyer need to work more on the deep ball at game speed. They're both off on either timing or trajectory, to the tune of about 4 yards short with the throws.

Also, Decker had better go home tonight and take as long as is needed to find his football catching hands, because it seems as if he didn't bring them with him to New England.

Hue won 8 games with Oakland, so that's 9 career wins dude. Owned. Are you really going to stand by your statement that Todd Haley has 171 career head coaching wins Froob? Are you?!? I will block quote you, we can do that whole thing.

He's quietly very much under the gun this season, and I bet no one knows this more than him. Foles is still there.

My buddy was at a private Eagles practice said Wentz is perfectly healthy threw the ball with more velocity and authority than the other QBS.
Said he looked like a machine and showed quick footwork.
He thinks he starts week 1.

What do you think about this wr group? You wanna see something from other guys but you’re not getting it as much. Frankly decker’s likely finished. Dorsett looks lost out there at times.

I think the WR group is a series of question marks:

  1. Edelman looks as if he'll be fine, but what will "fine" translate to on the field, for a 31 year old WR coming back from ACL surgery?
  2. Dorsett looks as if he's trying, and as if some of the issue is on Brady not being deadeye on the deep stuff yet, but Dorsett's got to get better separation (or at least better positioning) on short routes, and he's got to catch the freakin' ball when it's there. Can he do that?
  3. Britt's still in the tub and getting stim, apparently. Is time going to run out on him, or are we going to deal with another player using the early season as his training camp?
  4. Hogan's a fine WR3, but the team needs him to be a WR2 for the season and a WR1 for the first 4 games. I'm not sure he can be the former, and I don't think he can be the latter. And can he please stop with the < insert curse word here > body catching?
  5. Patterson's going to be boom/bust, so he'll likely be a limited package player, but how will that impact things overall?
  6. Decker's still getting adjusted, I grant, but he looks as if he couldn't get separation from Elvis Presley right now, and he's struggling to catch the ball even when it hits him in the hands. Will that all change with more time, or is he done?
 
Actually I would be very surprised by a trade for a WR in the next few weeks.
 
I was at the game tonight. I thought I saw a pretty well run first half, given the various situations...you know, no Gronk..Brady's first action...players like "ball in high grass" Dorsett and "baby, baby..where did my hands go?" Decker. Very impressed at the level of play exhibited by James White.It's like watching Faulk redux. Gillislee can't see holes. He's a goner IMO. Cordarrelle got a ton of snaps and flashed consistently. Wynn twisted his ankle or something Hope it's OK. Thuney is THE weak link on this O line. Van Noy came up big when he had to with an important sack. Liked that a lot...otherwise the defense was pretty vanilla. I DID notice Richards get beat in the EZ but get his hand in there to break up the pass. I don't know how to feel about this. Good play or luck? Still scares me. Ja'Whaun Bentley...OK,it's early but...I mean he's one of those players who shows up at key moments so far. He's getting a lot of snaps and I can see why. The real head scratcher for me is Will Tye, though. This guy is built. He's physical. He gets open. His hands are freakin' granite. Stone. I think if he played on a semi regular basis his catch ratio would be less than 10%. You can SEE he has the physical tools to play in the league but I don't think I've ever seen a football player with worse hands.


I imagine I missed a lot of "Crossen sucks!!! Cut him!!" posts in this thread. Look, he led the team in tackles, he played all game, he hits like a Mack truck and he made ROOKIE mistakes in coverage. I think this kid is a STEAL and will be making solid contributions down the line. BTW, Edelman is 100% and still as tough as nails. Sucks he has to sit because of "we don't know what it was but...PATRIOTS!". I was hoping Decker could fill that gap somewhat but after seeing him "perform" tonight, I'd say he's done in this league, probably done 2 years ago but definitely end of the line today. We'll see.

BTW..Quo vadis Duke Dawson? Is this a season ending PUP casualty?
