Eagles fans, why are they so infatuated with having Darren Sproles as a ball carrier? Why not let Matthews be the workhorse and let Sproles be the 3rd down guy and pass catcher?

Mathews injury history shows he can't handle that type of workload...and it's not like Sproles ain't just as capable

4 for 30, 1 TD, L and post game tears plus snitching.

I don't care what anyone says Wentz has looked nice.

yeah he has, needs to start sliding tho.

Wayment.....

Clock Out Cutler?

His new name has the initials COC????



The COC was really slingin it today boy.
Bears played a great game, COC was a maestro out there.



COC was ballin wit the heater in his mouth the whole time.

no idea

smallwood and barner would have been in late for me (especially smallwood to get the rook some experience.. barner earlier see if he can be consistent and make other guys expendable).. unless they going try pull what I been advocating (trading Mathews and sproles for whatever picks we can get)

OBJ going to show off every dance move he worked on in the offseason against Dan Snyder's football team.

don't they get penalized for choreographed routines?

Drake will pay.

I think drake was a bastketball groupie.. err.. sorry.. I meant fan

must have caught a CFL game or 2.. probably an Argonauts fan (that's a team up there, right?)

Yup Wentz looks nice but 2 games don't mean Ish. Cut it out with all the trying to make people eat crow after two weeks. Bring up those quotes a year or two from now. Lots of QBs have a good year or two then fall off the face of the football earth. Josh Freeman was real they said RG3 had next, kaepernik was going to be the next great QB.

etc etc. Relax

ummmmm.. when you had some of the scorching hot takes before dude even played a down (especially from someone who admitted their ignorance on the subject matter and that should be damning for the player and not him)..

hell, I never even argued that dude was/is/will be good (because I didn't know).. simply that I could understand conceptually taking the risk and some folks couldn't handle it

hell just trying to explain spacing out the picks didn't make the hit of all the picks we were trading THAT bad (wasn't like we pulled a saints move).. like the possibility of a rational conversation went out the window QUICKLY

'he's a small school prospect', then you respond with 'well so were so and so'.. then it quickly goes to: 'youre a homer'

And that's the thing:  Say Carson stinks it up his first two games.  This whole thread would have been " I told you he was trash, stupid Eagles, blah blah blah".  There wouldn't have been any of that "let's wait to see how he adjusts", or "It's too early to make a judgement".  But he looks good in his first couple of games, "It's the Browns".  "It's the Bears" "Let's wait for a little bit"

Carson looks nice so far. I laughed when the Eagles traded up for him.Trade looks great now, especially after they got a 1st for Sam Bradford. Even though it was the Browns and Bears he's still a rookie playing against NFL teams. Gotta give him some credit. Same with Dak who I really like. They don't look scared or timid and no mistakes.

NDSU's program is run really well.

They beat a good Iowa team last week iirc.

Proves Wentz was a system QB, like Thomas in New England

 

[DeadsetAce]

curse ended in the NBA playoffs.. or something.. somewhere a lil while ago

Chester watches women's hockey?

 

[youngthundercat]

i thought Ted Thompson could do no wrong

Ted is on the social hot seat.

 

[Peep Game]

 

 

Also Washington offense with TURNT Cousins > Seahawks offense with Brussel Wilson right now.

That's not saying much

I hate to defend Ciara's husband but his oline is trash

It's funny to look back and see how much the line was criticized a few years ago (rightfully so)

but that crew looks like Hall of Famers in comparison

Jockamimi would be a massive upgrade to the current bums right now. Hell, i bet Steve Hutchinson can roll off the couch right now and be better

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

 

Hmmm. Interesting observation.

...

Also...2 games in is pretty damn early to claim victory or defeat on whatever preconceived notion y'all might have had on someone. Not just 2 games in a season...2 games in a whole career. That's my take. Sorry if that might be too lukewarm for S&T.

Eagles fans should very satisfied with what they've seen so far though.

And shout out to @VA757VA
for willing to admit when he thinks he was wrong on something. Not the first time I've seen that from him. It's a shame it doesn't happen enough around here.

Agreed but the eye test says he can play in this league

he's reading defenses like a veteran, showing a natural leadership skillset and you can see he can make NFL throws

I'm not disputing any of that as of right now. We're basically on the same page. I just think it's too early to stamp a W or L decision 2 games in a rookie's career.

For the record...I was an advocate of trading up to get Wentz/Goff if your decision makers ultimately believed that player was a franchise QB. You just HAVE to make sure you get it right because it's obviously very costly.

Chester's voodoo ain't the same this year

This year?

@Chester McFloppy lowkey started losing his fastball some time before that. To be honest...our guy is probably looking at an under .500 record if we check dem stats on the battles he's chosen. 

His elite deflection skills haven't diminished yet though so he's able to make up for it by diverting attention elsewhere.

As Darrelle Revis would say...he's still headed to Canton though.

NDSU has won their last 6 games against FBS competition. The program is no joke, which is one of the reasons why I chuckled at everyone laughing at the pick.

Who did?

They were excusing his behavior til like February too.

Yeah dudes were high on Manziel because he was literally a human highlight reel in college. People didn't know the extent of his drug/alcohol problems back then though. Did he like to hit frat parties and bars? Yes, but we just chalked that up to him becoming a 20 year old god on campus
