Giants and cowboys? One of them will get in.

Brady has an easy game next week and then they can prepare for the Saints again. But I don't feel confident they can beat them again. 0-2 is not a good look. I'd love for it to be Brady vs Mahomes in the SB.

I'm not sold on the Rams this year. They seem really up and down and I have no idea which Rams team shows up at any given weak. NFC East winner would have a decent shot at knocking them out. The Bucs being the 5th seed makes the upset less likely but maybe Brady has PTSD against the Giants in the playoffs.

fuck yeah shellshock grats - got a bit of help from Pederson putting in Sudfeld and clearly throwing but Alex Smith/Ron Rivera deserve it and I'm proud they were able to get into the dance.

Brady is cursed against the NFC East, this is destiny. Plus they are playing in the most cursed venue in the NFL so its a double curse.

Also I must add, King Henry for MVP. Dude is an absolute machine.

Aight watch. Brady walks away with a win and probably loses in the championship game. If he gets passed the Saints, that is.

We already lost the season, no reason not to give Studfeld some more game experience.

Wentz has already said he wants to get traded in the off season, and you may recall we won the Superbowl with a backup. Also, with the rate we go through players, having QBs with actual game experience is pretty important.

You think the eagles will move on from Pederson too? Lots of fans now saying he was propped up by good coordinators that are gone and has pretty much checked out

I want Doug to be good but the evidence seems contrary. His contract was extended through the 2022 season a couple years ago, he's stated he wants to stay, and I don't see Lurie or Roseman letting him go.

Yeah I'd bet they give Pederson at least another year or two, but it is indeed increasingly difficult to chalk up the team's success to his coaching.

Wanting to get traded and getting traded are two completely different things. There is just no way imaginable that it is better to get Sudfield those key minutes over hurts. Hurts might top out as your Backup, but sudfield is at max going to top out as your back up and there is a strong chance he won't even be there next year.

Now is picking higher worth it, probably. It is just lame to pretend it was about anything other than losing.

And BTW I was getting insulted for saying the Eagles should have traded Wentz after the superbowl since he was the most valued asset in the league and IMO way over valued. Not to mention the aging team and how valuable picks are and how crushing a expensive QB contract could be. It is just that I think we know at this point that Sudeld, a 27 year old 6th round who was 3rd string is not the answer. You don't know if Hurts is or isn't. Crunch time is when you find those things out.

The thing about the Eagles trading Wentz at that time is I don't think people would have ended up giving as much as you think. Something that looks like the Bears trade for Khalil Mack + maybe an extra 2nd is what happens because of the injury. And, if they take that deal and he went to a place like the Colts, SF, or its a Wentz-Goff + picks swap sort of situation, I think Wentz probably does pan out into a situation where everyone memes on the Eagles for a decade.

Its kinda like if the Colts had traded Luck in 2017. It would look like genius right now. Wow 2 firsts for a guy out of the league! But in a lot of scenarios the change of scenery would have really improved everything surrounding his mentality and situation, and then you are the team that traded Pat Mahomes' only rival in the AFC for a half decade.
