Last 4 Weeks:

Over 210+ yards Rushing (Leads NFL)
3 Rushers over 40 Yards Consecutively
34.5 PPG
Jalen 1st Eagles QB with 3 Rushing TD's in a game (Mcnabb, Cunningham, Vick with 2)
Record: 3-1

:blessed:



The Saints are the #1 Rushing Defense.....until they face us. Just like last year, we once again shredded them on the ground. 244 yards rushing. We killed the clock and really pounded them. The 4th Quarter was way to much prevent but Jalen punished them on that TD. He broke some ankles like it was a crossover. With Atlanta's Loss to the Patriots, The Eagles moved to the 10th Spot in the Playoffs. Well with this win the Eagles are in the 9th Spot and only 1 Game out of the 6th and 7th Seed Wildcard. I know people want to talk draft picks and tanking. Well sorry Jalen and Nick have other plans. The Eagles are on the Playoff Hunt and one of the most dangerous teams in the NFC the way we've been playing.

I thought Miles did OK, the fumbles were inexcusable as both Jordan and Boston protected the ball for weeks. But coming off injury we should expect rust so he ran well. Gannon called a good game overall but got too cute in the 4th. I know we were up big but more pressure was needed. Overall another strong performance and Big win. We now own the Tiebreakers over Atlanta, Carolina and Saints. Jalen Hurts despite the criticisms from some has now lead the Eagles to 5 Wins which is more than Last years 4-11-1 record. Plus we still have 6 games to go. So not only did we improve, he showed he can lead the team. Next step is a Playoff Berth in his 1st year as the starter.

its also clear that Wentz was a decent QB as we all knew, but he simply needed a change of scenery and we needed to go in another direction as well
its as win-win a trade as I've ever seen

in time Carson will embrace his philly past and i will refer to him by his righteous nicknames

I meant to reply to this yesterday and say that they're definitely gonna tag Bates and looking at the other FA safeties I don't think Honey Badger or McCourty would leave their teams at this point (and they've got a ton of miles at this point as well).

Marcus Williams was a name that made sense, since he's young and I'm not sure the Saints can afford to tag him. We got a good look at him today and his range as a centerfielder, not sure how crazy his price is gonna get though.

your probably right about Bates and I thought of that- the ONLY hope is, the Bengals owner is a known cheap ass so one never knows- even a tag is a huge pay increase

Philly born. PG raised
He is capable we have no receivers at all bro besides Devonta.

from what I seen, he can make all the short and intermediate passes. He’s fully capable talent wise. My issue is long ball accuracy which has been inconsistent but more importantly, decision making has been inconsistent. Not bad but inconsistent. Relying on the run allows him to learn on the job while not being responsible for carrying the team. I believe he’ll get to where we need him to be long term

That was a good win, yes we let them back in but we never lost the lead

Props to Sirianni, during that bad patch we were all questioning him and was looking like one and done. Then he went with the run(probably against Laurie wishes) and we found the foundation for the flower power :wow:.

Now we gotta wait to see how bad the slay and and Howard injuries are :lupe:
