We will have a healthy team vs the bills, they are missing key components to their defense.

The fact that this is Kiko's return game vs his old team is going under the radar says alot about him. I am sure he will love to make a few plays on Lesean.

I got no idea either, time will tell, I think he sticks around as long as he does not regress. I think he will work out, he has the pedigree, and he also had brian shottenheimer as his OC in St Louis (he is really bad).


I agree, but he has also cut and traded offensive talent for defensive talent. When chip got here, we had 3 good defensive players, Ryans, Cox and Kendricks. We may now have an elite defense (assuming the lions and buccs game were outliers).

Doubt it, I think the rumours of the Browns offering a 1st rounder for bradford before the draft were confirmed.


FYI, Chip is going nowhere:

Does not sound like a guy who says he is staying and does something else.
I don't know that the argument that he bled the offense to benefit the defense really holds true.

There's only one example of such a trade that I can think of. McCoy for Alonso. We're losing that trade at the moment. Alonso has had no impact on D.

We do not have an elite D. Elite D's don't give up 45 in consecutive weeks. I don't know that you can fairly describe a sixth of your data as an outlier. I'm not so sure that we can really spruik how well we've built our defense though. We've drafted few proven defensive players over the past few years. More misses than hits.

Jenkins was a very good free agency signing. Credit for that one. Barwin too, though he's not performing this year to the standard I would want.

Who are our other defensive stars?

Cox? Reid player. Graham? Reid player. Kendricks? (possibly) Reid player. Ryans (over the hill)? Reid player. Thornton? Reid player.

A lot will depend upon how our defensive draftees this year stand up.

Hicks and Rowe need to be stars for our sake. Shepherd returning from knee injury next year and playing well in the slot would help.

Smith stands out as a draft pick that has set our franchise backwards. Reynolds starting to get some game time now but hasn't earned his draft status.

Edit: Logan a large omission from my post. Did well drafting him in the 6th, credit where its due.

Hey guys been a lurker on the Eagles boards for a while, decided to post. Fairly fresh NFL follower been watching since 2011ish. Missed a bit these last couple seasons because of lack of Foxtel!

How was the game vs Patriots? Basically just saw a short recap video.

It's not too late to choose a different team

Nice win.

What the hell is Kevin Rudd doing in Jeff Lurie's owner's box??

More importantly, why is Kev feeling the need to stand and salute at the end of the game??

Was briefly on the NFL gamepass coverage, at the very end of the game - complete with patented hair flick and that trademark facial expression of "humour".

I saw that, he was not saluting, he was fixing his toupe.

NFI what he is doin in the box.
?? SO the toupe extends to the eyebrows?? DUnno - looked like a salute to moi.

Anyway, very weird, heaps of others in the box manage to remain seated and out of view of the cameras...
