Let Us All Just Face the Facts

Good thread lots of good banter. Sproles & Jenkins in my opinion are good players and helping the Eagles to a very good season. Jenkins is 26 and Sproles is 31 so actually he is definitely in the twilight of his career. One guy I don't miss is Bushrod, watched him get owned the other night something terrible. I'm sure Drew didn't shed a tear either.

Our offensive line is old, real old when you take Armstead out of the average...

And overpaid, massively overpaid vs production...

But hey, there's only so much money, we were committed to who we were committed...

Right up to the cap with little wiggle room...

Had no issues with what we signed Graham finally...

I'll tell you that I wouldn't extend nor guarantee any more money for Brees...

Reality is he's not playing another five years...

And we've got to figure out why we failed to sign some of those pass rushing free agents...

Somethings amiss there...

It all starts with a good FO and an owner willing to spend what it takes.
We have both.

Even after those 1st half picks he brought us back to take the lead so how did he lose the game Our OT got beat like a drum on that sack fumble and the defense gave up a 50 yarder on 4th/10 did he make it more difficult for us yes no question but he didn't lose the game he gave us the lead back once that happen the picks don't matter there wasn't no coming back from a blown coverage on 4th down with a minute to go our Team is on Suicide watch because we kill ourselves WE LOST 4 Games in the last 2min w/ the lead execution and communication is the problem

The worse best thing to happen to this offense is Jimmy Graham Drew doesn't care who's around him he'll throw him the ball regardless in any situation

Lol wait aren't we top 10 in rushing and passing??? And the offense is to blame.....I'm seeing a lot of spoiled fans in here...the problem lies in the defense...it's no leadership out there and coaching takes some blame too...how the hell does SP keep bums like Meachem,toon and White on the roster?? I agree rebuilding needs to start...the o line and the secondary ASAP

The O line is less than marginal we all know if Drew has the time he will pick any team apart. On D the LB's are marginal at best and we don't have
a strong Field General. The one thing I do notice on this forum not many are beating up on Rob Ryan.
