Eagles decline 5th year option for Marcus Smith. He'll probably be gone after this year
Between him, Agholor, and the 26 year old fireman over the last 6 years, let's all hope and pray that Joe Douglas was really the one calling the shots this weekend...
says the guy who 'loved' the agholor pick (even though the fixer told him it sucked). amazing
A lot of people like the Agholot pick. Hell, you actually purchased a Kevin Kolb jersey. You still wear it , don't you?

haha
for the record I never had a kolb jersey. I loved kolb because I hated mike vick. I would have taken koy detmer's corpse over vick. Kolb was better than vick.
Fixer's Eagle Jersey History (all green - never understood why anyone would buy a white jersey)
McNabb Celek (throwback from the season where they wore the kelly green w white numbers without any outline). I think it was 2008ish. Best throwbacks and I still wear my Celek jersey with pride. My favorite Eagles jersey Dawkins McCoy Wentz
That's it. I get these things off a Chinese website that my bookie uses. It costs $40 to get the best knockoff jersey you can get. Stitched numbers/letters and they fit way better than the real jerseys that cost $200+. My Dawk jersey is a real one - I think I've worn it twice. The thing is huge.
The Celek throwback is the best. Hopefully I will be able to wear the Wentz for the next decade plus. Just happy to have a Republican QB for a change. First time since Jaws (hoying, mcmahon, detmer, ryan, brister, kolb, etc don't count)

Looking at raw points scored and allowed can sometimes disguise the true strength of a defense because of problems on the other side of the ball. No team in modern NFL history exemplifies this quite like the 1991 Eagles. After Randall Cunningham tore an ACL 15 minutes into the first game of the season, the Eagles' offense collapsed. The defense spent the season constantly defending short fields. So while the Eagles gave up just 3.92 yards per play, the third-best figure since the move to a 16-game season in 1978, they finished fifth overall in points allowed in 1991.
Opposing quarterbacks completed just 44.1 percent of passes, the lowest rate for any defense since 1978. They led the NFL with 55 sacks and 43 forced fumbles. They finished third with 26 interceptions. And the defense wasn't one-dimensional: The Eagles allowed just 2.97 yards per carry on the ground, which ranks fifth since 1978. They put up these obscene numbers in standard stats despite playing the fourth-toughest defensive schedule in the league. Their division rivals finished first (Washington), fourth (Dallas) and sixth (New York) in offensive DVOA.
This was the late Buddy Ryan's defense, but without Ryan. He had been fired as head coach at the end of 1990. Rich Kotite was the head coach and Bud Carson the defensive coordinator. Three of the four defensive linemen were selected as first-team All-Pros: Reggie White, Jerome Brown and Clyde Simmons. Linebacker Seth Joyner and cornerback Eric Allen joined them in the Pro Bowl.
Unlike the 2000 Ravens and the 2002 Bucs, the 1991 Eagles didn't get to build a legend with a dominating Super Bowl victory. The team couldn't get enough out of Jeff Kemp, Brad Goebel and a 32-year-old Jim McMahon to even make it to the playoffs. Nonetheless, the 1991 Eagles were the best defense of the past 30 years.

10-6 and no playoffs. Still remember a play v. TB that year. B&E recovered a fumble inside TB's 20yd line and was hot-dogging it walking into the endzone and someone knocked it out of his hand for a touchback. That play would've won the game and they would've made the playoffs.
Alright, alright, alright!

first pre-season game and Juggler hasn't told us that it's important yet?
I say it every year but i really don't get NFL coaches playing their important players in the pre-season. No reason Wentz, Peters, Johnson, Jeffrey, and Cox should take a snap tonight. Hell I wouldn't play any of them at all in the pre-season but that's just me.

The reason you lose so many arguments on here is because you never seem to understand the opposing point of view.
I'm more excited for Hoskin's debut tonight actually.

So now we don't have a 2nd or a 3rd round pick next year. Darby better be exceptional.
Sure wish Howie didn't give Eric Rowe away for nothing last year...
hopefully they sure as hell can use him.

Ahhh, man, been away for a few weeks...looks like this came out on Friday, always look forward to the Birds one...
Haha - "It’s like someone took the worst parts of JJ Watt and made a QB out of it. Meanwhile, Wentz’s game log from last season read like someone charted declining literacy rates in Bridesburg. He was the Second Coming for three games and then proceeded to suck. If he were black, people would have said they finally got tape on him. But because he’s white and hunts, he’ll get another 15 years to prove himself. Bible-humping jackass."
I know it's a pipe dream but I'd love to see this team keep clement and smallwood -- and cut Pumphrey and/or Blount. Other than Pumphrey I loved their draft.
Defense should be nasty -- I think the offense will struggle. I think we are looking at an 8-8 season -- will contend for a wild card spot until the last couple of games when guys like Blount, Algohlor, and Jeffrey inevitably let them down.

I wish Darby was a few inches taller (and not quite as aggressive). He had good coverage on that first deep ball...jumped a little early but even if he timed it right, I don't think he wouldn't have been able to make the play. Lot of big receivers in this league...
At least he's not as short as Mark McMillian. He was like 5'7

yea sucks he got beat deep in such an important game.
i saw two series and in both Wentz got knocked down. tell me again why it makes any sense to play your starting QB (and other stars) in the pre-season games? the risk is FAR greater than the reward.

Such an important game. Great point.
yea you'd have to be a stone cold idiot to argue pre-season games are important...oh wait sorry i forgot for a moment that was you who did that.
