It's nearly August, and we still don't have a picture of Jordan Mailata and Jordan Davis standing next to each other with Boston Scott for scale. Philly media overrated.
Sifting through the fallout:
-Gannon couldn't buy a stop. Not heartbroken if he takes the ARI job.
-Miles Sanders already lost his job. He's not getting $ from the Eagles.
-Blankenship SHOULD have taken Epps' job already.
-Quez Watkins isn't reliable enough to see the field.
The sudden narrative flip on Araiza is gross. Sexual assault has a disturbingly low conviction rate. We know, with certainty, that while the incident may not meet the court's burden of proof, Araiza was one of several SDSU players to take advantage of a drunk seventeen-year-old.
Jordan Davis pushes Nate Herbig into the pulling TE’s path, stopping his momentum, and Nakobe Dean obliterates him. Dean hit the TE so hard that they basically tackled the RB themselves.
"Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen aren't helping Hurts!"
Ah yes, Sirianni and Steichen made the fatal mistake of *checking notes* asking their quarterback to throw the ball.

Are you kidding me? These people are so stupid they think the simple wearing of a mask is conforming. They don't know shit about what you're talking about lol.
-The Chiefs "forced" Jalen Hurts to "play QB," and he did excellently. Fumble aside, it's hard to ask for more from a QB. 35 points in any game should be enough.
-The Eagles need a BIG jump from Jordan Davis next year
-Chauncey Gardner-Johnson NEEDS to come back.
-Howie should do what it takes to run it back, but the cap situation is tight with all the expiring contracts.
-I'd really like to have Bradberry back.
And I'm actually excited to see Milton Williams, Nakobe Dean, Reed Blankenship, and Kenny Gainwell in extended roles. Those guys sure looked like difference-makers at different points in the season.
Anyways, the ending of that game was a big bummer. The offense should have gotten a chance. But man… the defense didn't make a single play, and that punt return was a backbreaker. Huge letdown from the defense and special teams.
All five players have started at various points in their careers, and four have earned contract extensions with the Eagles. That is an absolutely absurd hit rate.
The outpouring of support for Brent Celek tells us what we already know: he is the standard. No combine invite to career starter. Played like a freight train. Reinvented his game to stay with and contribute to the team. Saw 3-13 and a Lombardi Trophy. Sad to see him go.
The Eagles are going to have some brain drain on the coaching staff and some personnel losses that cause regression, especially against a much better '24 schedule. But the Eagles have the talent.
It kind of sucks that there's no discernable drop-off from Hurts -> Minshew, Sanders -> Howard/Scott/Gainwell, and Reagor -> Watkins. Not really an ideal use of 1 first-round pick and 2 second-round picks.
Saquon is, for my money, the best RB on the planet and it didn’t make a difference tonight. The Cowboys offense sucks but Zeke is a top 5 RB. The NFC East is a case study for the value of RBs… they aren’t very valuable.
Like, do people read the news? Sure, the accusation misplaced Araiza (she was drunk!). But Araiza had sex with a girl who was apparently so wasted she couldn't discern that incident from the one shortly afterward when other SDSU team members brutalized her.
The Eagles just beat Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen in the span of six days. Now, the 49ers have to travel cross-country to play them in the rain. And no matter the result, the NFL isn't taking the NFC Championship trophy back.
@IgglesNest
Don’t be scared. 😱 as a Niners fan the soft ass schedule eagles have played will catch up to them starting this Sunday with the beat down Niners are gonna deliver.
"Daniel Jones is a top-ten QB."
"Daboll is the coach of the year."
"49ers defense is generational."
"Kyle Shanahan doesn't even need a QB."
After the Eagles win both games by a combined score of 69-14: "The Eagles haven't played anyone!"
Continuing to add to this. IDK how much time you guys spend around teenage girls, but I can promise you this:
A. They have no idea who the local college's punter is
B. They don't go to parties asking everyone to have sex if they're sober
C. They are obviously & apparently young
I want to bring up Thomas Yassmin, the TE from Utah. Former rugby player whose prospects took a step back because of injuries and the decline of Utah's passing game without Cam Rising. Still, he is 6'5" and 245 pounds, tested well, and can do this:
This is probably just me but I would love to know the details of how 6’ tall Jalen Mills beat 6’8” Devin Robinson up so badly he ended up in the hospital. In a walking boot I might add.
I'm sure this will get lost in the tidal wave of twitter trolls who want to tear you down
@MalcolmJenkins
but I hope you know that I, along with many, many others, are proud of the way you utilize your platform. Fight on!
Guys I liked in the Shrine Game:
OL Nick Allegretti Illinois
OL Tyler Jones NC State
OL Lamont Gaillard Georgia
RB Ty Johnson Maryland
RB Devine Ozigbo Nebraska
LB/DE Justin Hollins Oregon
LB Ulysees Gilbert Akron
DT Ricky Walker Virginia Tech
DE Jordan Brailford Oklahoma St.
To fans whose teams are interviewing Doug Pederson: He was a good coach. In Philly, what killed him was his inability to maintain a quality staff once Reich and Flip left.
And it's appalling how quickly some people are to perpetuate this boogeywoman false-accuser myth that ascribes bad faith to a child and asks them to be punished for standing up for themselves.
The spin on this is absurd. Greenlaw committed an egregious penalty and stood on the Eagles sideline to stir the pot. Big Dom tried de-escalating the situation and getting Greenlaw away from the sideline. Greenlaw tried to punch Big Dom in the face.
There is a certain sadness to what happened to the Minnesota Vikings. The one year they don't have to compete with Aaron Rodgers, they get blasted in the NFC Championship by Nick Foles.
Do we talk enough about how shitty Tom Brady is? He cheats, spreads pseudoscience, ditched his pregnant GF for a supermodel, was one of the first to normalize Trump, and is kind of an all-around dirt bag.
