Not Eagles, but that Chargers / Raiders games was one of the best and most entertaining games I have ever seen.
Herbert goes for and makes 6 fourth downs, first team in 60 years and they still lose. Gotta feel fit the guy, he deserved better.
Yeah, but he’s never beaten the Eagles in the playoffs!
Except in 2004 you mean...
Bucs open up as 8.5 point favorites.
Yes, that Super Bowl was so long ago that you would think Steve Grogan had been New England's QB. Think how many the Eagles have had since then (or between then and 2017). And they haven't even had that many.
I remember reading quotes from ND Kalu (who was sidelined) and Sheldon Brown after the Super Bowl in 2005 where they said every time the Eagles called a blitz the Pats called a short screen to beat it. They both said it in a complimentary way, as if to suggest that the Pats were the better team. After they got caught with spygate, i realized those long super bowl halftimes might have benefited the team with the tape. Gannon has the answer to that - he doesn't blitz so Brady cannot exploit knowing a blitz is coming. Eagles by 55.
I must have blotted out 2004…
While the Eagles own 2022 pick is to be determined the Eagles have the 15th pick from Miami and the 16th pick from the Colts. The Eagles pick would be 20th if the playoffs play to chalk, could be 19 if the Steelers win and Eagles lose, could be as high as 32 if the Eagles win the Super Bowl.
At this point I vote for 32. (I mean, probably not, but would also rather win a round than worry about 19th vs. 26 (or whatever).
JJAW to the IR, Huntley to the active roster. At least kick of returns will be better than Reagor's pathetic attempts. TE Jackson and Toth also to IR, expect Dick Rod to be added to the active roster too.
That game was amazing, especially considering the impact on the Steelers. Overall some great games with so many playoff implications. But I was on the edge of my seat with the Raiders and chargers. Talk about down to the wire on who the seventh team would be. If the Raiders had just run out the clock to a tie they still would have been in. Crazy.
i'm seeing Nick opening up the playbook this weekend, with a reverse to Greg Ward and then Ward throwing along pass to either Smith or watkins. c'mon Nick.gm
It's the D playbook that needs to open up. Every blitz they've got in the playbook. Zone and man. Press coverage. Blitz of press. Play the receivers tight. Be very creative and aggressive on 3rd down and 5 or more to go. Up the middle pressure from LB. No bend and break. We know Brady will bend them right back into end zone. They need to play for change of position, even if that surrenders a couple of long TD passes. We know against top QBs their bend but don't break leads to a score every time down the field and just wears down the D and keeps the O from getting in the groove. A deep score is less harmful than a 6-minute slow march down the field with virtually uncontested pass catches and failure to stop 5+ yard runs. We need a D which doesn't look at all like the D we saw in first half of season and shows things not on our tape. Then change direction again at half time.
Well, Gannon is a finalist for the Denver HC job, that is our best chance at a defense from this century.

Josh Sweat (illness) will not play today. The Eagles say he was in the hospital on Tuesday for a medical procedure because of a “life threatening” situation.— Dave Zangaro ( @DZangaroNBCS ) January 16, 2022

They say it's not appendix, so I'm betting some kind of peritonitis.
Hope he gets better quickly and can play in our game next week!
Any chance someone hires Gannon at halftime? If you just pick someone in the audience with an Eagles Jersey they at least wouldn’t SHOW that 4 are rushing on every play. Brady doesn’t even need to read the defense.
I think the Offense is the bigger issue.
