*** 1948 * 1949 * 1960 * 2017 * 2024...YOUR SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS: THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES ***

Definitely scary but Garrett's been there long enough to know what he chose to deal with.

The Juggler

god, I enjoyed the hell out of that game last night. one of the more entertaining monday nighters in years.

I don't think romo's making it till the end of the season. murray might not either, given his injury history and they're running him into the ground. and durant, their leading tackler, is out for the season.

gentlemen, I like where we're at right now, as much as sunday still stings. figure they gotta go 3-1 in these next 4 leading up to the cowpokes game.


....BIRDS!!

You're the one that mentioned the standings. Any new coach that comes in the league and has early success gets the same adulation.

Please admit this is somewhat amusing.

at this point in reid's 2nd season here, I know I was giving him much deserved adulation for turning that team around (despite only winning 5 games in his first year). they were 5-3, but you could tell they were headed in the right direction. it's no different here.

I remember the scene of reid coming out of his office to great fans who were freezing their asses off waiting in line for playoff tickets later that year---people loved the guy back then. loved him...and that was before he even won a playoff game. some people just have short memories, I guess.

after 7 games into his 2nd season no one was implying or flat out saying Reid was a better coach than the previous most successful coach in the modern franchise history like they are with this guy. there is a difference.

i guess i shouldn't expect too much from a group that taunts the fans of a team ahead of us in the standings and who last year taunted a 2 time Super Bowl MVP quarterback.

yep. figured you're one of the ones with a short memory. I remember that 2000 season like it was yesterday. it was the first time we had real hope (not the fake kind that we had with rhodes) in over a decade. it was a great feeling back then. it was new, fresh, and full of hope of where reid and mcnabb and jim johnson would take us.... very similar to now (except for those stuck in the past). people, just like they are now, were talking about how much better reid was than the previous regime(reid's tenure here was so long it almost feels like 2 regimes, with the first one waaaay better than the one chip inherited).

so it's very similar. been saying this for a while now. and don't worry, nobody expects you to grasp any of this.

the highlighted part is the absurdity that i am referring too. yea this guy who hasn't won a playoff game yet is already being compared to the previous regime that won 9 playoff games, went to 5 NFC Championship games and a Super Bowl. thanks for proving my point.

beat Houston and get back on track. as i said sunday night on here. this is a little bit of a cross roads point. teetering could go either way. kind of a tough spot though. going to Houston one week after a west coast trip against a decent team. i had last week pegged as a win and a let down loss this week. let's hope it's the opposite.

there's nothing absurd about that, especially since i acknowledged reid's success. it is just his success here was so long ago it feels like there were two tenures: the successful one, and the mediocre one that started waaay back in 2005. this was mentioned in the very next sentence after the one you highlighted. you're like some dumb politician, (think michelle bachman) who takes one out of context comment and runs with it, while completely missing the greater point. thank you for dumbing down this thread, and america.

it's like you get personally offended whenever this is pointed out to you but the fact remains reid was a very good coach for his first 5 or 6 years. the last 8 were very mediocre and it ended horribly. by the end of his tenure he was coaching badly, evaluating talent poorly, and making horrendous decision after horrendous decision regarding his coaching staff. this is why people are so happy that chip turned things around so quickly. andy reid left this franchise in disarray....much like the way it was when he inherited it.

this is all very simple stuff to comprehend. reid was a good coach here, a decade ago--but he is not near the level of somebody who doesn't deserve any criticism, not with the way he faltered to the finish line here. no, sir.

The Juggler

looks like kelce's back this week and herremans is playing despite a torn bicep. a torn bicep--yikes

Jearlpam0925

Sucks. Figure Herremans plays through this game when Mathis gets back and then they'll move Tobin/Gardner/Kelly to RG. Hoped they were getting the band back together, oh well.

pretty funny to see you hand pick what years to compare Chip to Andy to. like the rest of those years (and last year) don't matter.

but let's move on. we are in the middle of a season that still has lots of football to go.

of course they matter but it was just such a long time ago. why would anyone compare this year's or last year's eagles with the 2004 birds? that's like comparing reid's first few eagles teams with rhode's 1995 playoff team instead of the garbage of poop he left behind in 1998.

you don't pick and choose this stuff. if Kelly inherited the eagles of 10 years ago, obviously things would be looked at completely different than they are now.

confidence levels today, boys?

i'm at a 6.5 for today. think they win, though uncomfortably...

Jearlpam0925

Ryans injury could be huge. Fuck.

Jearlpam0925

Yep. Done for the year. Huge loss. God fuckin damnit.

Jearlpam0925

And not to mention Foles with the clavicle - 4-6 weeks. When it rains it pours. Shit.

eeriepadave

where did you hear/read about ryans?

Jearlpam0925

Twitter/PFT - hopefully I'm wrong.

unfortunately i think you're right. ESPN is reporting he's most likely done for the year. :(
Ryans absence is gonna hurt us more than Foles.

The Juggler

a few months ago somebody spent a lot of time talking about how backup quarterbacks don't matter. haha

again--solid move by roseman and chip in picking up sanchez. hopefully foles doesn't miss much time though.

6. Just a reminder to everybody who doubted Maclin’s ability to be a No. 1 receiver: He is halfway to the greatest season any Eagle receiver has ever had. Another massive game Sunday gives him 45 catches for 790 yards and eight touchdowns, which puts him on pace for 90 catches, 1,580 yards and 16 TDs this year. Maclin on Sunday became the 13th player in NFL history with consecutive games of 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns, the first since Miles Austin in 2009. Where are all the people who said he couldn’t be a No. 1? He’s been astonishing.
