Eagles vs. SteelersEagles defense looked good. They bent, but never broke. Didn't give up a single point. Had 4 INT'S in first half! Thank God one of our CB'S stepped up.... Nolan Carroll seems like he's the truth. Came from MIA to us a few years ago. Was doing well last season, before he got injured. So was our defense, despite having a fucking knucklehead for a coordinator(Bill Davis). Once he went down last season, our D fell apart. That was one of the main things I was looking to see, one of our CB's stepping it up. Yes, I know Big Ben and Antonio weren't in the mix, but still encouraging to see that. Bradford threw for 115 yards while completing 14-of-19. Nothing spectacular on big plays, but was very accurate and consistent. IF ( big IF) they can protect him, I think he's much better than he's getting credit for, and will surprise quite a few with his consistent play. I honestly think he's talented, but hasn't been fortunate enough to be in the right situation. It was encouraging to see the newly renovated O-Line play half decent, considering the loss of 2013 1st round(4th pick)Lane Johnson, due to his second suspension for PED's....fucking BONEHEAD! Agholor caught two passes for 30 yards on three targets....one on a leaping impressive catch of 22yds. Eagles NEED him to step up! At least there is a sign of life here with him. Has all the natural ability, it comes down to confidence with him. Not giving up on him just yet, and neither are the Eagles as a #1 draft pick just a year ago. Green-Beckham actually played and saw a red zone target in the end-zone. The ball was under-thrown, otherwise I think he would've had a TD. Malcom Jenkins got one of the INT's, and I think he's the best Safety since Brian Dawkins here in Philly, without a doubt. Him and newly acquired Rodney McLeod could CERTAINLY compete for best Safety tandem in the league this year. Backup QB Chase Daniel actually looked sharp too this game, which was also encouraging, because he looked like a TOTAL scrub in the first preseason game. Turned out he had NO protection and zero separation from WR's in that last game. It was good to see since the Eagles paid him so generously to be the backup QB. I absolutely LOVE having Jim Schwartz here as our defensive coordinator. Hands down think he's the best one since the late great Jim Johnson. He brings an attitude and an edge, a nastiness to a defense that has been soft for far too long. The Lane Johnson loss is HUGE though, and because of that I'm tempering my original expectations. I originally had us at 8-9 wins. Now I'm thinking it's more like 6-7 wins. I'll stay optimistic, but I'm tempering my expectations this season.

Personally, I think some of those W-L will come or not as a result in the devt of Carson Wentz. My gut feeling is and has always been that Nelson Algholar as a bust. Who is that other semi-bust they paid a fortune for..Fletcher Cox (Seahawks?) Or someone else?!? Anyway, I have zero confidence in Bradford, healthy or nor. For the life of me, IDK what everyone else sees/has seen in him after his 1st couple years in the NFL.

CB Bum Maxwell from SEA is who you're thinking of. Luckily for the Eagles, there was another team stupid/desperate enough(MIA?) to take him and his contract off our hands after just one season. Fletcher Cox also got paid a ton of money recently, but he deserves it, as he's arguably the best DT in the league. I don't think there will be much of an argument after this season though. He's a BEAST...

Bradford may get traded before week one. Denver and Dallas need a qb bad!! Do it! NOT happening. I actually think Bradford can thrive in the right situation, with the right game-plan. I DON'T think he's a bum, and I want our best chance to win this season. I can see trading him if they get an awesome offer though.

I still can't believe Elway is allowing something like this to happen at QB. Turning my focus back to the Eagles, IDK how much that china doll can even teach Wentz. If it wasn't for all the damage Chip Kelly did, we might be a year away from a SB shot.

I dunno, I think the boys are gonna be happy with Dak as their new franchise guy. The cowboys always have a franchise guy at QB and Dak will be that guy post Romo. As for Denver it looks like paxton will be their future no? Has this changed? Trevor Siemian will start and Paxton will back em up and sanchez will do what sanchez does (sit on a bench somewhere). I just dont see either team making a move for a QB any time soon, and bradford comes with a big price tags

I still can't believe Elway is allowing something like this to happen at QB Elway wasn't about to give up a 1st round pick to get Bradford that's why they didn't go after him, he feels good about who they have - Butt Fumble Sanchez.

Eagles trade Bradford to Vikings Don't get too happy the Eagles don't have much at QB now when you look at Chase Daniels & the rookie Carson Wentz. eagledomikation - Happy dreams come true. I already posted in the gen disc about Wentz. We'll see him sooner than later. BTW, should we put Gen Disc on top, above the NFC, AFC. Good idea? I still can't believe Elway is allowing something like this to happen at QB Elway wasn't about to give up a 1st round pick to get Bradford that's why they didn't go after him, he feels good about who they have - Butt Fumble Sanchez. Butt fumble is 3rd string, there was serious talk yesterday about him not even making the team. Paxton Lynch may be more ready than Wentz. Anyway, the Broncos starter is someone I've never heard of. Trevor Seimian? Mr. Irrelevant. That's right, pick #250 overall, dead last 2015. EDIT: Done, bumped the Gen Disc. Doc My first thread forum move, figured it out all by myself.
