I never once said the Eagles suck did I?

I simply posted the #s, I don't give 2 s hits what you decide to do with them. Also correct me if I am wrong but didn't New England have better Red Zone D all year, and the best situational defense all year (crucial 3rd downs etc).

Ya reminds me of LeBeau vs K.C. That's why I hammered Tennessee hard +9....Alex Smith really does struggle vs that defense. New players, old players, new plays, old plays, SAME RESULTS.

Ya but look at the quality of tight ends they faced. I mean Atlanta literally doesnt even have one, and oddly enough Rudolph was the only one to score vs them. They had 2 bad games vs 2 good tight ends, probably the only 2 good tight ends they played all year. (No Jason Witten is not a top tier te anymore)

I think the Eagles defense is also experiencing some recency bias here. I mean playing Atl (dome team) at home, with Matty Dalton + Steve Sark running the show, what do you expect? Then another dome team coming off a miracle win, with Case, Murray, and a banged up Thielien..?

I feel like when the Eagles played teams with good / physical tight ends  they gave up chunk plays. (Look what Kelce did to them in week 2).

2002 - 7 points scored (10th ranked defense) - Tennessee

2003 - 38 points + 17 points (12th ranked defense) - Tennessee

2006- 40 points (32nd ranked defense) - Tennessee

2010 - 45 points (21st ranked defense) - Detroit

2014 - 37 (4th ranked defense) - Buffalo

He also played a half vs Buff in week 17 in 2014, but I didnt include that.

Bump over the spam.

Bortles > Ben

Foles > Matty Dalton

Keenum > Brees

Why?

Gronk over 77 yards.

Hogan over 45 yards.

Austin Hooper over 2.5 catches.

I'm glad you realized it was a joke....google "get a brain moran" and that's where I stole it from. I love that pic.

I am trying to come up with 5 qbs that are better than him currently.

In the Divisional championship game the only 2 maybe 3 QBs I wouldnt want over him are:

Kizer, Lynch, Brisset? Even Flacco I would take over Foles, even Palmer, or Trubisky.

This guy is the 29th best QB in the league. Plain and simple.

Man you guys on covers have legit no sense of humor. I think Lord Gamblor has eaten all of your fukking souls.

Dont like you picks but wtf do I know? GL!

Get a brian moran.

How bad is the weather supposed to be?

Does this interest anyone? I know it's hard to find losing trends when you go 14-2 / 13-3 every year, but it seems like the Pats really struggled vs run heavy teams who also have a mobile qb.

Week 1 vs the Queefs

Week 3 vs Houston (Houston should have won that game, Brady fumbled and also threw a pick that was dropped on the last drive)

Week 4 vs Carolina

----

I don't consider Tyrod a quarterback so I am not putting the Bills in this thread. If you lose your job to Nathan Peterson then so be it.

Divisional game vs Tennessee ?

I think with ABs injury if they can give Lev the ball 35+x they walk out of Heinz field easy winners and will be on to New England. I can see this being like a 35-17 type of game.

The Jags defense is down right suffocating. I think the narrative that has been talked about for the past 2 weeks is going to have them angry and ready to destroy this joke Bills team. Tom Coughlin and Doug Marrone will have this team ready to roll.

How the fuck does a QB lose forward progress when being sacked by a dude who was shot out of a fucking cannon?

Cont...

Naturally good teams and Qbs are going to shred bad teams / bad defenses. A simple screen pass to Gurley vs the 49ers can be taken 80 yards for a touchdown, where as against say the Eagles, that could be a 8-15 yard gain. Goff has shown incredible poise for a 2nd year player and he typically takes what the defenses give him.

Also, LA would have beaten Sea in that game if it wasnt for a fumble through the end zone, and a wide open drop by Kupp...

Game #5 vs Seattle

Game #6 @ Jax 

Game #10 @ Min

Game #12 @ Ari  

Game #13 vs Phi

Let me just play devil's advocate here for a second. So you take 5 games, 3 of which are on the road and start looking at the stats. Let me preface this whole thing by saying that traditionally good / great quarterbacks struggle on the road. Good - Great quarterbacks REALLY struggle on the road vs WINNING teams. This is why home field is so important.

4/5 of those teams you just looked at are winning teams, and the other went 8-8. 3 of those games are on the road, and no one, I mean NO ONE looks good vs Minnesota on the road. Offensive outputs aren't always reflective by looking at box scores. When La went on the road to play Jax, you don't think McVays game plan going in was to play conservative and let Bortles beat himself? Bortles was sacked 5x, threw a pick, and fumbled twice if I am not mistaken. This type of game planning happens all the time throughout the NFL. Andy Reid does it to Alex Smith sometimes vs teams like Denver. You can tell the game plan going in is to let Seimen or Assweiller lose it for them, and just dont turn the ball over.
