The best two NFC teams should be the Eagles and Lions.

The Lions have a ton of talent no doubt, but like Joel Embiid, they have to prove that they can stay healthy in the playoffs, particularly on defense. Additionally, for all the criticism that Sirianni rightfully gets for his bone-headed decisions at times, Campbell is even worse in that regard. I'll believe they are legit when I see it.

Did you see this NFL/ESPN deal?

Can Disney own the corporate NFL?

I'm happier every day that I quit watching the NFL about five years ago.

I think it’s the opposite, right? NFL gets a 10% equity share of ESPN in exchange for the rights to RedZone and NFL Network. So now the NFL owns a small part of a Disney subsidiary.

Tanner Mckee is gonna net Howie a 1st.

That's the real Philly Special, price gouging other teams for our backup QB.

Praise be to A.J. Feeley, first of his name, bringer of picks.

Read on Twitter

Who had a worse supporting cast:

McNabb on offense during this time period

Iverson during his prime years with the Sixers

McNabb had a great O-Line, and Staley/Westbrook were great receiving backs, but he was passing to Chad Lewis (probably most reliable guy), Todd Pinkston, James Thrash, Fredex I guess. It took them 7 years of McNabb to say, "hey, maybe we should give him someone to pass to other than Westbrook".

Iverson, they surrounded him with defense and then surrounded him with the oldest, decaying big men stars.

Both fried their primes because of poor team management. Obviously the Eagles had the other side of the ball and were quite good defensively.

That was primarily the fault of Andy Reid who for whatever reason still doesn't really value the WR position even today in KC and Larry Brown who hated the 3 point shot and forced the Sixers to surround their only real scorer with a bunch of defensive role players.

Could you imagine if a player like Steph Curry played for Larry Brown? He would have taken him out of the game in like the first 30 seconds and he'd never have seen the light of day again.

Not necessarily backup QBs, but I believe Howie gots firsts for Bradford and Wentz. We were done with both, so they were backups in my mind. Jalen finished the year as the starter and the team was pivoting to him. And Wentz beat Bradford for the starting job, so he was our backup. However, both obviously had starting pedigrees when we traded them.

What a f****** disaster last night.

And the Sixers didn't even play! Phillies, Eagles, to a lesser extent the Flyers.

City ate a big s*** bagel last night.

Philly sports is an unmitigated disaster at this point! Sad!!!

Such an odd mix between being a well oiled machine and Sixers at the same time.

Personally, the Birds winning the SB just 8 months ago has absorbed most of the darkness of the last week. We've lived through much worse.

Yup, despite the 4-0 start, this year's team is clearly a casualty of the salary cap, unfortunate luck with injuries on both sides of the ball, and a bottom-of-the-barrel OC hire due to his predecessor leaving after the Super Bowl a la 2023. Thus I'm going to significantly temper my expectations. Anything they give us will be a pleasant surprise IMO.

At this point, I’d try to trade for Myles Garrett. Do they need a receiver? Seems AJ hates playing here.

(I don’t know anything about NFL trades)

He hates Hurts as his QB. They can get back to being boys after Hurts stops wrecking his stats :lol:

AJ and a 2nd for Garrett might work, actually...

Doesn't feel like this team has what it takes to repeat, but the recent doom and gloom can be quickly wiped away if they win the next two.

AJ has a $25 million cap hit if they trade him this season. For that reason, I don't see him being moved.

Yeah, you take the dead cap hit and get rid of the bad vibes. The Hurts and Brown thing is real and ain't going away.

Updated idea: AJ and a 27 1st for Garrett, Jeudy, and a 26 3rd
