4&0 baby.

Had to overcome some adversity today. Hope Mailata isnt that beaten up...

There aren't a lot of things that we should be grateful to Chip Kelly for, but my god we owe him for hiring Stoutland.

So much about that superbowl run and rebuilding our team in the time that we have can be attributed to him. I mean, my god, people often forget that we lost our franchise LT as much as our QB that year.

That we plug in guys when we have key injuries and it's rarely a cliff drop off in performance is such an advantage.

Big plays from my boys Reddick and Bradberry today. Miss you

Yep, the Oline hardly missed a beat after Mailata went down. Stoutland can take any half decent talent & turn them into more than serviceable NFL calibre players, guy is a freak.

I quite enjoyed todays game, simply for the reason that I've long believed the measure of a really good team (in any sport) is how they persist, bounce back and hopefully win despite not playing ver well. I thought we were ordinary today. Sanders might've played his best game for the Eagles, and Bradbery and Reddick were really good on defence - but for the most part, I think we pulled out a result today despite not playing very well. Which at the end of the day is a positve.

Happy memories seeing the Jets pull off the Philly Special today exactly how the Eagles drew it up.

That non effort from AJ tho after the turnover, at least he's acknowledged it, somewhat...

Any news on the injuries?

Not looking great for Mailata, going for MRI, rest not too serious so far it appears.

Any news on the injuries?

According to Sirianni presser this morning they are "all a chance" this week. Whether any of them will actually play who knows, but at least none of them appear serious

 

[trikster]

I had completely forgotten that we own New Orleans first for 2023, that pick is currently 4th

Including Mailata? That would be impressive.

Lets hope so but both Elliot & Mailata sent for scans.

That was probably the worst draft class I’ve seen in my 20 years following nfl. You could argue that we got the only player out of that top 10 really worth drafting on the first 2 days.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Only undefeated team. The Lombardi is ours.

Hard not to be confident in Arizona. Arguably our toughest test so far though.

Our fixtures are bloody soft haha

Haven't beaten them there the last 5 attempts iirc, now or never.

Won't ever get a better opportunity really.

They're looking a bit better than they did at the start of the season but I still don't think they're a particularly great team.

not as soft as we thought before the season started though. Lions and Jags are much better teams than last season.

Jags certainly are.

I thought the Lions were but I'm not as convinced. They can put points up but the defence is horrendous.

Don't want to jinx anything by looking up the last time the birds started 5&0, it's great fun having something football wise to look forward to esp as an Essendon tragic.

[Jatz]

Yeah saw that. Shouldn't be a problem really.

Was 2004. Supa Buwl appearance ensued.
