either way this definitely sucks, I'm not really a fan of Philly but they're damn fun to watch, one of the few bright spots on a terrible season. reminds me a bit of the Derek Carr injury a couple years back, though this is worse obviously. good news is that Foles is alright; he was a starter, he knows the offense, and idk Wentz doesn't seem completely irreplaceable...this team is great all around, this ain't exactly an Aaron Rodgers type situation

if the defense steps up it could still be something special but look it's hard to overstate what losing wentz means. he was the heart of the team, probable MVP, just playing out of his mind this season. it's extremely painful as a philly fan today :/

Mordy, Monday, 11 December 2017 19:03 (six years ago) link

wentz has been absurdly good on third down and in the red zone and i feel like going from that to even league average production (if foles can provide that) will be a huge step down

k3vin k., Monday, 11 December 2017 19:26 (six years ago) link

you may be overestimating wentz's contribution to that production

Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 11 December 2017 19:31 (six years ago) link

this has not been the kind of situation with an elite qb dragging a bunch of chumps up and down the field. they have installed a really nice, innovative, complementary offense with a bunch of strong parts

Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 11 December 2017 19:33 (six years ago) link

sure, but wentz' personal numbers in those situations have been great. that's not just going to continue

the eagles are a very good all-around team tho and should continue to be competitive, but their SB chances obv took a huge hit

k3vin k., Monday, 11 December 2017 19:39 (six years ago) link

a hit, sure. but they didn't lose an mvp calibre qb, they never really had one. eagles fans should be able to spot the difference.

Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 11 December 2017 19:43 (six years ago) link

i disagree. wentz has played like an mvp calibre qb.

Mordy, Monday, 11 December 2017 19:45 (six years ago) link

Miami toying w/ me tonight but the offense is still middling as always.

all the "it's been allll Miami" cries from broadcasters and it's like...6-0.

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 12 December 2017 02:27 (six years ago) link

quite possibly the worst P.I. call in the history of mankind

Being entrusted with the Bengals job is like becoming the night watchman at a low-budget museum. As long as you don't screw up horrifically, you'll be able to keep the job for about as long as you want. Heck, even if you do an awful job, you're probably going to get some time. Marvin Lewis has had the job for 14 years without a playoff victory, of course, but think about the guys before him. Bruce Coslet made it into a fifth year with a 21-39 record. He replaced David Shula, who made it nearly five years himself with a 19-52 mark. Cincinnati moves at a glacial pace.

Fuck you, Melvin Gordon!!! I hate fantasy football so much.

Looks like Marvin Lewis is going to leave this year, maybe to move into a front office job with Cincy. His career record is pretty mediocre but over .500 and the playoff record is hard to leave be, but the guy did find a ton of talented players over the years. AFC Central has also been one of the most competitive divisions in football over that same time. Pats and Colts didn't have to deal with playing the Steelers and Ravens 4 games a year along with getting over them every year to make the playoffs.

Everybody was clowning on Lovie Smith a few years ago for similar middling success, but you got to look at the last few years of the Bears and wonder that he might have had more going right than appeared.

It is hard to remember now how bad the Bengals were for such a long time before Lewis took over and at least got things somewhat balanced back out.

earlnash, Sunday, 17 December 2017 23:12 (six years ago) link

BRADY.

¯\_(🏈 )_/¯ (daria-g), Sunday, 17 December 2017 23:18 (six years ago) link

That overturned call is complete BS. He crossed the line with possession of the ball. F that.

Spottie, Monday, 18 December 2017 00:20 (six years ago) link
