I can't wait for Sunday unlike last year when I dreaded it

[TheChoseninc]

Hurts is easily the most underrated player in the league. Nick is 100% on point when he says that “he is a winner”

[Skeeks]

It’s not often I hear the media actually praise Jalen for the amazing job. He’s done this year. Far too often I hear criticisms of the past, even all the way back to college!
I literally heard someone on ESPN bringing up the Alabama game where Tua took over as a blotch against Jalen’s reliability…a few weeks ago!!
But if you look at this team‘s record, and his stats, his performance is elite! He ranks well within the top 10…and that’s being modest.
Ironically, all I heard before the concussion was how he couldn’t throw the ball and how he’s holding the team back. Once he was missing games, all I heard was how important he is to this team and how they can’t win unless he’s playing. My consensus is, it doesn’t matter what the Eagles do, the media always has a problem with it. The same goes forSirianni... Let’s just ignore that he has one of the best records of all active coaches. 🤦🏻‍♂️
It doesn’t matter what these guys do, they don’t get the credit they deserve.
I really want the Eagles to just whip everyone’s ass and make the media eat their own words. 😂😂

A friend of mine is a casino dealer at the Borgata in AC and she couldn't stand Jason Peters as she said he was always arrogant and rude. On the other hand, she loved Fletcher Cox because he was always friendly and called her by name when he approached her table.

[BullCraftMaxx]

I absolutely hope we win this game. I will be missing some of it on and off with a flight for European trip. GO BIRDS!!

[burnittotheground]

I like the signing of Cine, a lot actually. He'll be a fan favorite by this time next year. If we pair him & CJGJ at safety, opposing receivers will refuse to go anywhere near the middle. I doubt he'll play much these next few weeks, but we'll see. I think this is gonna be an amazing ride. There's something special that's been brewing with this group, and it's okay to admit it. I'm 45, following this team very intensely for the last 39....this group has something to it, and it's better than talent - which they collectively have more than anyone - they play together and there's a love for one another and a belief in one another. There's no more significant factor you can have in the NFL playoffs. There's a reason they remind you of the 2017 Eagles.

The ones who remain - BG, Lane, & Jake.

Buckle up, this is gonna be insane.

The Jalen story is getting old! You would think straight journalists would note that the last step of the concussion protocol is to practice and be evaluated the next day (today). Eagles rested all of their starters last week, they did not practice because they weren't playing. Wednesday was their first practice for Jalen to participate in.

[JDEri]

The ‘22 defensive front may have been better, but due to the field conditions of the Super Bowl, they were pretty much useless. Our defense this year is the #1 defense even without a dominant front, so hopefully field conditions wouldn’t play as much of a factor, if it came to that.

[wisconsineaglesfan]

23:43 Some revisionist history going on here. I remember after the 2016 season Kelce had a really bad year, was getting pushed around, and just looked bad. He has even admitted that he stopped focusing on the fundamentals and it hurts his play that year.

Man I talked mad trash about Kelce after that 2016 season, and then he stepped his game up to the HOF we know and love and I've been happily dinning on that crow ever since. Oh, that SB speech will never be topped. EPIC!

GO BIRDS!

[dandrummond]

I’m really surprised the defenses were close for them. I never trusted the defense in 22. It was always hoping Reddick gets lucky and gets home at the right time. Vic lost Washington, but he owned it. I trust this defense to get a stop way more than in 22. To be fair, Saquan doing his things to the Steelers is our best defense, and another reason this team is better. Miles was unreliable while banged up, and he was always banged up. Saquan will Lane Johnson that shit and play at an all pro level with a torn abductor. (One of the most legitimately badass things I’ve ever seen)

[Tmindful]

This years team is certainly deeper especially on the O line, QB room, RB, CB, LB

[metalsalsa]

55:39 I think Jalen doesn't like turning his back to the defense which is required when you are under center. I don't blame him!

[dashthe]

27:06 "no disrespect to Timmy Jernigan, Benny Logan, or....Malik....what was his name?"

Good thing Dave didn't mean any disrespect. 😂

[Dcnj]

People can say whatever tf they want about Nick....all I know is he's gonna have them guys ready to go on Sunday. Jalen is about to light it up he's gonna make sure we win regardless if he's passing or we're running we gonna get the W...Packers walking into a buzz saw you watch

[H-ySapient]

A lot of people doing analysis on Green Bay is forgetting about Bo Melton as a deep threat besides Watson.
Marcus Epps was clutch and I hated to see him go. I think Maddox was and still is the weakest link from 22 to 24 tbf I like Maddox but he's regressed. Nobody has been as good as Patrick Robinson was until Cooper Dejean in the nickel.
My big question is what do you do about Bryce Huff's disappointing season? I like Mike Green in the 1st round as a Edge Rusher and Jah Joyner in the late rounds as a true Defensive End. I think they need to keep complimentary pieces prototypical to Josh Sweat and Nolan Smith. Jaylx Hunt is very similar to Nolan Smith in that regard but Huff is the odd guy at the moment!

[KermRiv]

here's to hoping Reed Blankenship continues his habit of picking off Packer's qb's

[kaleokamekona]

AJ Brown left practice today I hope he’s ok….

[amir_levenmonthslater]

I would watch another hour of Dave just saying drink names with a question mark at the end and Reuben giving a yes/no answer

[speed]

I played against flipper in High school😅
