      Nah that was a special team, the guys out on the field today, only 6 on offense (Jeffrey, Ertz, brooks, Johnson Wiz and Agholor) and 4 on defense (long cox Bradham and Jenkins) started on the Suoer Bowl team that is less than half the starters. Oh and wiz was playing left guard not center like he did today. Technically long isn’t a starter

      The team on the field today played like their record says they are 4-6.
      Were from Philly F in Philly no one likes us we DON'T CARE!

      • Lightning in a bottle? Sure they did, every team that wins the SB has things go right for them. However, I wouldn't say last year's team was lucky to win it. They had great chemistry and players play above themselves when they have good chemistry. They had a rally cry, they had a good mix of veteran players, the coaching was new to the league and a step ahead of others when it came to things like going for it on 4th down, and they had talent even though it wasn't great talent.
        Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
        Hope is not a strategy
        RIP

          Last season was magical, the cards fell right and we commented often about luck falling our way. Balls hit WRs and bounced to our DBs . This season nothing is sunny in Philly. Cox has been our only healthy DT, Jenkins our only healthy DB. Schwartz hasn’t had shit to work with. Oh yeah the 2017 first rd pick is on IR too. We lost a top RB to IR, the line has been rotating people in and out all season, we lost 2 of our WRs for part of the season (Jeffrey) and 1 for all of the season. Good health and some smart cuts are what we need heading into next season. Drop the dead weight, and nail the draft.
          We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

            I find it comical that all the people here were so worried last season that Schwartz would be hired as a head coach and now he knows nothing and we have to fire him.

            • We deserved the fuck out of that super bowl. But we also got really lucky. I’m still of the mind that NO beats us last year (we’llnever know) but they get beat on a crazy/bonehead play and we blow out Minny.

              • We can all debate all we want but there are certain factors that allow for a winning SB season.... Talent.. Coaching... Chemistry.. Injuries... and yes LUCK (fumbles recovered in instead of lost, balls bouncing the right way, Ref's , Penalties each way, Guys playing above rather than below their talent levels, Schedule and travel for that schedule, hell even the weather can play a role).

                We had all those things or overcame all those things last year--- not so much this year. I believe the nucleus is here to make another strong run-- but so many of those other things have to come into play.

                That is why I have always said-- now say it with me class--- Enjoy the Ride cause it's all you get!!!!!

                  Sidney Jones, Rasul Douglas, Avonte Maddox go down; injuries in Eagles secondary are primary concern

                  Sidney Jones, Rasul Douglas, Avonte Maddox go down; injuries in Eagles secondary are primary concern


                  NEW ORLEANS – The Eagles' injury situation in the secondary became so dire in Sunday's 48-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints that the team finished the game with only three healthy cornerbacks, none of whom was on the active roster at the beginning of the season.

                  The Eagles entered the day without three of their top four opening-day defensive backfield starters, and they lost three more starters on Sunday.


                  Avonte Maddox left the game in the first half with a knee injury that appeared serious; he was immediately declared out of the game. Maddox, the rookie who had offered stability at safety after Rodney McLeod's season-ending injury, has recently become the team's the top slot cornerback, with Corey Graham taking over the safety duties.

                  With Ronald Darby out for the season and Jalen Mills (foot/toe) sidelined for the second consecutive game, the Eagles turned to Sidney Jones and Rasul Douglas as their starting cornerbacks. Neither player finished Sunday's game, though. Jones, who missed a month with a hamstring injury, departed with another hamstring injury. Douglas left in the second half with a knee injury.


                  Eagles coach Doug Pederson has a noon news conference on Monday when he might provide updates on the injured players.

                  The Eagles were left with Chandon Sullivan, Cre'von LeBlanc, and De'Vante Bausby as their three remaining cornerbacks. Sullivan was promoted from the practice squad on Oct. 25. LeBlanc was claimed off waivers Nov. 5. Bausby earned a promotion from the practice squad Saturday.

                  They weren't the only reason Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 22 of 30 for 363 yards and four touchdowns, but they didn't do much to stop Brees, either.

                  "You put it together, you piece it together, we brought guys up off the practice squad this week," Pederson said. "It's hard when you're going against a Hall of Fame player like Drew, and the weapons they have on offense. It's a difficult task."

                  Center Jason Kelce also left the game very early with an elbow injury — Kelce was declared out, then a corrected announcement said he might possibly return, but he didn't. Kelce declined to clarify anything afterward.

                  At game's end, long-snapper Rick Lovato was being evaluated for a head injury. That could be a real problem next week against the Giants because teams don't carry backup long-snappers. The Eagles would have to make a roster move to add one.


                  Rick Lovato left the game in the third quarter with an apparent head injury.
                  Saints keep marching in
                  Not only was quarterback Drew Brees still in the game with the Saints ahead 38-7 in the fourth quarter, he threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Alvin Kamara — on fourth-and-6. Brees, whose team faces Atlanta on Thursday, finally left the field with a little more than five minutes remaining.

                  Afterward, no Eagles were willing to say the fourth-down bomb bothered them.

                  >> SOCIAL MEDIA ROUNDUP: What they're saying about that embarrassing Eagles' loss

                  "That's Sean Payton. He'll beat you by a hundred if he can. I would do the same thing. I would try to put a thousand on someone if I could." linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill said. Grugier-Hill was one of very few Eagles defenders who faced reporters after the unit gave up 546 total net yards, including a stretch of five Saints touchdowns on five possessions.

                  Eagles coach Doug Pederson said, "No, they should [keep trying to score]. We have to play ball. It's football. If they're going to run it, then we have to tackle. If they're going to throw it, then we have to defend it. … I think if it was flipped the other way, we would have done the same thing."

                  Ertz interrupted
                  Zach Ertz's historic season hit a bump in the road. Ertz has been on target to break Jason Witten's record of 110 catches by a tight end in a season, and Rob Gronkowski's record of 1,327 receiving yards in a season, along with a bunch of team records. But Ertz's output Sunday was just two catches on three targets, for 15 yards — his season low in both categories.

                  "They did a good job, sometimes double-teaming me, getting physical early in the game," said Ertz, who goes into next week's game against the Giants with 77 catches for 804 yards in 10 games. "Dropping D-ends out, to make me avoid them early in the route. Overall, we just didn't play well enough. I'm kind of at a loss for words with everything that happened. Not something I'm proud of, for sure, not something the city deserves, that performance."

                  Ertz said it was "probably the worst loss I've ever been a part of."

                      • Injuries and schedule dictate success in NFL.

                        Last year eagles played the Raiders and Broncos. This year it’s the Titans and Texans. Last year we played the 49ers and Cards. This year we are playing the best division in football the NFC South. Plus we play Vikings and Rams.

                        Last year Peters got hurt but Big V was up to task. This year Big V has been exposed.

                        Last year Wentz got hurt but Foles played great.

                        Hicks got hurt but we had Kendrick’s.

                        This year we have had a ludicrous amount of injuries.

                        My biggest concern is we actually go on a run and make the playoffs because it means a first place schedule and fools gold. I actually want to finish 6-10 now and get hungry and reset the roster.
                        You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.
