If Barkley catches that 3rd down pass game over. Guess he's still a Giant at heart.

Can't wait to get taken to the woodshed in NOLA on Sunday.

It’s crazy how much a single play can determine the outcome of a W/L. Happened with the Bengals game too.

Take the damn points! Can't count how many games not taking the points costs a team. Stupid.

Eagles didn't deserve to win anyways. Played scared.

That was truly a reverse Falconing

Sweet for Cousins. He actually seems like a real cool and down to earth guy.

He's a kook but kind of interesting guy that was living in his parents basement and driving their old van (I think he still may be driving it?) when he was making $24 million a season. I get being cheap but that's next level frugalness as he's definitely a different cat.

Who ****ing cares. You can still be friends with someone and not believe in the same things. Crazy thought there.

I turned it off after the post 2 minute warning first down thinking it was done and dusted. I’m still impressed they found a way to Cristobal a game to the Falcons. Not firing Sirianni last year was a mistake and it’s going to cost them this year too. Hey at least they gave Saquon a ton of money right?

At least he didn't lie about it like deplorable Mr. Rogers.

Too bad these antivax guys didn't realize if you don't get a shot, you tear your achilles. lol

Don't even know what to think. Same crap as last season and yes, I feel it is coaching. Flat on both sides of the ball. Zero emotion as a team. D line has turned into a huge question mark.

I could feel that ending coming from the first quarter.

GirlySports · 09-17-2024, 10:23 AM

NFC East is terribad. Maybe Washington can win the division with a losing record like in 2020.

Goofy division, there has not been a repeat champion in 20 years.

Sirianni and his failure as a coach is getting the attention but the Eagles complete lack of a pass rush is a big story too. Steal of the draft Carter and BFF Davis were invisible most game and Huff is clearly not replacing Reddick, nevermind the other JAGs doing who knows what at DE. Not sure what Fangio is gonna do but running a terrible no pass rush Del Rio defence isn’t going to win you many games.

Huff and Reddick have the exact same stats except number of games played...

71% of my survivor pool made an incorrect pick this week with 33% screwing up the Vegas/Baltimore game and then TB/Det, NO/Dal, Atl/Philly being the other bad games.

Kinda hard to be friends with an anti-vaxxer if you or someone you love is immunocompromised.

He's had a good run of late but when a GM wheels and deals as much as Roseman does, some of the moves are going to flop. Still it's only week 2 of the season so we are still in the overreaction stage of except for Carolina of course.

Week 2 sure but the same crap from last season. That's my concern. Eagles feel fragile and I don't think it will take much to push certain players over the edge. Gets worse with a lame duck coach.

They could easily be 1-2 heading to Tampa Bay. Could get ugly real quick.

There's talent there on both sides of the ball but they need to figure out what they are in a hurry.

Rightly or wrongly, I chose Cincy.
