- JJ Arcega-Whiteside over DK Metcalf will live in Philadelphia sports infamy forever. There is no getting away from it. It's going to haunt the Eagles for the next 10+ years.
- 10-win seasons for the Eagles since 2000, including playoffs: 1 - 2000 2 - 2001 3 - 2002 4 - 2003 5 - 2004 6 - 2006 7 - 2008 8 - 2009 9 - 2010 10 - 2013 11 - 2014 12 - 2017 13 - 2018 14 - 2022 15 - 2023 16 - 2024 16 of the last 25 seasons.
- Eagles' OL in the 2010s LT: Jason Peters, 125 games, 6 Pro Bowls LG: Evan Mathis, 56 games, 2 Pro Bowls C: Jason Kelce, 126 games, 5 All-Pro or Pro Bowls RG: Brandon Brooks, 62 games, 3 Pro Bowls RT: Lane Johnson, 92 games, 3 Pro Bowls This is simply not appreciated enough.
- 5 years ago, Eagles offered Tennessee the following package for Marcus Mariota: - 2015 1 (20) - 2015 2 (52) - 2016 1 - Sam Bradford - Fletcher Cox This is one of the biggest non-moves in Eagles history and the fact that it didn't happen still isn't talked about enough.
- Search Twitter. Eagles fans are defending Alshon Jeffery nonstop. Now look at how Chicago fans treated Cody Parkey. It’s amazing how narratives are what people want them to be.
- I'm having a really tough time understanding how this is fair. It is legal, it works every time, it can't be stopped, perhaps because Hurts can squat 600 pounds, so the response is to... ban it? Will Mahomes passing to Kelce be banned? That's also legal but also too effective.The NFL is expected to look into banning the “tush-push” QB sneak method this off-season, per FOX NFL Rules Analyst Dean Blandino. “The NFL wants to showcase the athleticism and skill of our athletes. This is just not a skillful play. It’s not an aesthetically pleasing play.”
- Random opinion. Zach Ertz scored the game-winning touchdown with 2 minutes left in the Super Bowl and I don’t think he gets enough credit for it. Fans talk about Nick Foles outdueling Tom Brady and Brandon Graham’s sack fumble. But I don’t think Ertz has gotten enough praise.
- On a WIP clip from last week, Ray Didinger said he believes if the Eagles had drafted Justin Jefferson in the first round, they could have gotten Jalen Reagor in the second round and Jalen Hurts in the third round.
- The Eagles lucked into Travis Fulgham and then watched him lead the NFL in receiving yards for a full month and now they have essentially ruined him by not throwing him the ball and it’s amazing. Just absolutely amazing.
- Blaming Nelson Agholor for not catching that fourth down touchdown catch is lame. It would have been a good catch, maybe a great catch. The game was lost when Carson Wentz missed THREE simple throws on the previous three plays. #Eagles
- I’m really tired of the victim mentality surrounding Carson Wentz where everything has to be exactly perfect for him to succeed. Players get hurt, teammates let you down, teams miss on picks. Good quarterbacks overcome it. They elevate instead of needing to be elevated. #Eagles
- Playoff wins since 1996: Eagles' backup quarterbacks: 4 Dallas Cowboys: 3
