    Cowboys offense has the ability to play like this every week but don’t because they have to give their $90M RB touches to make it seem like the contract was worth it.

    Never been more embarrassed to be an eagles fan in my life. I always felt bad for Agholor, but not anymore. What a gigantic piece of s--- that guy is. What a waste of a season. No leadership what so ever. Really missing Chris long

    After that game last night the only bright side is basketball season starting up. Terrible season. I have no faith this team will do anything this year

    I’m done with this team. It’s clear half the team resents Wentz so we’re f-----

    f--- that guy honestly. He’s definitely the anonymous source talking to ESPN. He even blamed Wentz when asked about that play after the game. Keep in mind our GM opted to pay this guy his option this year that makes him like a top 25 paid WR. What a joke.

    @Chewie how would you feel for a Mariota for Trubisky swap? Just straight up. Or maybe Chicago throws in like a 4th or 5th round pick to sweeten up the deal a bit.

    Chicago should call Jacksonville and get Foles. Would instantly make them a super bowl contender again

    Call me crazy but I don’t think Trubisky is the biggest issue.

    Problem 1 has been our offensive line play, they’ve created absolutely no holes for our backs and could definitely protect Mitch better.

    Problem 2 is Nagy’s play calls and designs. Dude called a grand total of 7 run plays on Sunday (a 100 year franchise record low) two of those plays were fumbled. On top of that I’m never a team call so many hitch and sit in the zone routes in a game.

    That being said problem 3 is without a doubt the play of Trubisky. He missed 3 passes on 3rd down to open receivers and was unable to maneuver the pocket effectively. Also had 2 dropped interceptions. It’s unacceptable in his 3rd year, but tbh I don’t see Mariota doing any better with this O Line and our current system. Foles maybe, but how successful is a guy gonna be entering a new system in the middle of the year? I think we’re gonna have to evaluate this off season.

    Besides our GM Ryan Pace is basically tied to Trubisky. If Trubisky busts Pace is gone, so he’s gonna do whatever he can to try to make it work. Surprisingly I think Nagy might be the bigger issue, he rode the success of Fangio’s defense and Pugano’s for the first few games this year but as an offensive guy and our play caller theres no excuse to have the 30th ranked offense in the league.

    I know this is a tough sell to a lot of NFL fans who grew up watching/preaching smash mouth football & how thats the way to win in this league but A LOT of math points to the contrary. Even with as pass happy the NFL is, a lot of analytics suggest most the NFL doesn’t pass enough. With that being said, Nagy’s reluctance to run the ball is probably a good thing. I only say “probably” because you guys don’t have a good QB so it is possible your running game is just as efficient or more efficient than your passing game & if that’s the case—your offense overall just isn’t good.

    It’s crazy too cause I’m a big wentz fan. I don’t see how he’s not a likable guy in the locker room. But after that loss we can see just how dysfunctional the locker room is right now. Dougy P needs to do something to reel them in again

    Hardly ever talk about the Eagles lol. Just was excited for the Sunday night game and it ended up being over quick.

    There’s like 5 teams in the NFC I’m worried bout before Philly right now.

    Close one, our offence is really shaky...but still got the W against a bad team...I’ll take it...hoping my QB can develop by the end of the year...Josh Allen still makes rookie mistakes, we don’t have any serious weapons either...our defence will continue to win us games

    Your Vikings look impressive clicking on all cylinders- hopefully Adam Thielen injury isn’t serious? Going to Detroit and beating them there is the most impressive W of the week in my opinion

    Eli beat a stacked Patriots team in the Super Bowl twice. It’d be different if Jones was replacing Alex Smith. But he’s replacing a manning whose family are nfl legends. We all know for some reason in the playoffs, Eli can go off. Jones got a lot of playing time this year and looked good and terrible some games. I’m just saying while they have a chance to win the division this year. It may be a good idea to Start Eli now that they have a healthy team and lost a game they should have won. And they could have possibly beaten the patriots. If Jones could pass the ball in the 2nd half. It wouldn’t hurt Jones resting and watching Manning finish the season. Because next year, I think the cowboys will fix their weak areas, and the cowboys will be consistent and easily win their division. Next year with Jones the giants will be more of a challenge than the Eagles. I sort of lost faith this year and realize Wentz is never going to be a elite QB. I’m not just saying this to make boos mad, but I’d rather have Kirk Cousins atm for this year and maybe next. But Wentz is still young and can get better.

    And if worse comes to worse and Eli isn’t playing any better, that was Eli’s final chance and start Jones for sure. A lot of studying film would help Jones watching Eli. I mean I’d think the cowboys should win the division this year, but they seem to be too inconsistent and have a locker room problem or coaching problem. Maybe half the team looks at Zeke as their leader. And another half looks at Dak to be their leader. The coach should have Zeke be the guy who gets the team pumped before hitting the field. He’s better at it than Dak and has that kind of loud mouth.

    and I hate saying what I did about Wentz, because I literally thought this is the year he really turns his game up. And drafted him in like 3 leagues out of 5. Luckily one league someone dropped Brees when he got hurt. And I just picked him up because he’ll be back In few weeks. May have to see if Dorsett is in some leagues and start risking him over Wentz, at this point.

    If cousins can continue playing this good consistently. You guys have a NFL possible champ contender. You’re defense is good. You have a top 5 rb of the year. You have talented wide receivers and Diggs is really connecting know. I saw Thielen got hurt. Sucks because I start him in one league. Luckily that was my best team i drafted and will be surprised if I lose in it. Ty Hilton is even a bench player that’s how stacked it is. Lmk if Adam will be ok or if Vikings are saying he’ll be out for a few week. The sport channels aren’t covering his injury.

    I’d say you guys have the most talented team in the nfc this year, other than the saints whenever Drew Brees is back.
