Bucs/Philly WC game ** Do NOT mention Dak in this thread! **

[Reality]

He might not insult popular players but he was very critical of Tom Brady during deflate gate. Troy is very opinionated.

That is because it was a popular opinion of the moment so he was not at risk of standing out.

It was hard to tell who the better QB was going into this matchup, but over the course of the game, the future HOF’er with 7 rings really separated himself from the 1 time pro bowler.

I said this when they let him go. They were idiots. Foles may not be a great quarterback but he was the guy who brought the first Super Bowl to Philadelphia and to just throw him away was mindboggling.

It's really not actually.

During their Super Bowl season Wentz's second season, he helped the Eagles to an 11-2 record and was having an MVP season.

It's easy to understand their thinking that they could get something for Foles and fallback on Wentz.

Obviously, Wentz has since shown his warts and ceiling, but in real time it looked like the obvious decision to make.

Dang, close one

Did Nick Sirianni pull a BUDDY RYAN and leave the field without shaking hands?

I have said from the beginning Wentz’s mechanics suck and he cannot stay healthy. He did not have an MVP season because he did not play the season, he played part of it.

He didn’t bother showing up for the game? Why not the end game handshake either? Lol

I missed what he said. What did he say?

pretty much made it clear that he wanted to be at the cowboys game. Said something like "it's gonna be a great game..i know some people would've loved to call that game" and then laughed

Tristan Wirfs is one of the very OTs in the NFL and maybe the Bucs 2nd best player.

If he is out the rest of the year, I don’t see how they can win it with all their other losses.

Exactly 0-8 versus teams with a winning record! Of the 5 philly beat writers two actually had the Eagles winning this game. in those 8 games they gave up 239 points (virtually 30 points a game) and only scored 173 points (21.5 points a game and how much of that was garbage time?) They haven't beaten a good football team all year

Like Dallas beat anyone either Eagles overachieving on a rebuild , new staff, tons of cap and draft capital. Dallas a media hype soft team full of “stars” and building that same team for 5 plus seasons. Then left the playoffs the same week as Philly playing an overachieving Niners.
