Happy NFL Trade Deadline Day

I think they can lose two of the three, but the Bears offense is a mess and they're very beatable right now.

Bears don't have an offense that can challenge Philly's defense. I have little faith in the Bears in this game. Mack and that defense better wreak havoc and maybe even score if the Bears want to win.

 

[Bullflop]

The Eagles are clearly willing to 'go for it'. The fact that they had offered 1st and 2nd round picks and were willing to pay Jalen Ramsey shows that.

Do these Cowboys have that same willingness to 'go for it'? Maybe, as long as that entails a 6th or 7th round pick. Much different.

Exactly -- there's a big difference between giving up a 7th for Bennett and what the Eagles do with a 1st for Ramsey. Beyond that, paying lip service is free -- a price they're altogether too prepared to pay.

My concerns come from the Cowboys own ability to demonstrate their inconsistency, not the Eagles.

Never underestimate the power of retribution in the NFL. Cowboys haven't played consistently good football since 1995.

I don't think anyone is saying they are unbeatable. But it's just a rational look at the situations. Other than Philly, we have yet to beat a quality team and the Eagles have two wins now over quality teams. Further, our schedule is much tougher than theirs over the 2nd half of the season and we don't have a cushion at all.

The good news is we banked a win already over them which means if we can win in Philly, that would put pressure on them. But after the next three, they have four pretty easy wins on their schedule - Miami, Skins, Giants x2. That gets them to 8 wins for sure. They need to win 2 of the other 4 - Dallas, NE, Seattle and Bears............................ and all four are in Philly.

maybe.
but rarely does the season unfold on the field the way it does on paper.
come November....alot of questions will be answered.
so far...they aren't as good as the hype....and we aren't as bad.
if Dallas handles their business....we win the East.

Schefter reporting that Le'veon Bell might be available as well.

I'd be shocked. He looks shot and looks to be the Jets problem now.

And according to this, they'd be taking a huge cap hit to dump him.

I choose not to underestimate the Cowboys inconsistency.

They don’t even leave Philly for a month! A game, bye and two games at home

How do you get that schedule followed by playing JV squads to finish the year

I love Jerry’s fancy way of saying no lol

One game. They have pretty much contained every one else they have played including Buffalo this week and they held the Vikings to just under 100 yards rushing and 3.5 ypc when they were running all over teams.

Run defense isn't their problem. Pass D is their clear problem (and their pass rush isn't exactly great either).

Buffalo has beaten no one this season so thats not a good comparison. And Zeke has owned the Eagles his entire career. Its not just one game.

Because they just played 3 straight road games. The NFL had to manipulate their schedule for the Eagles because there was a belief the Phillies could be in the postseason and they didn't want conflicting games potentially in Philadelphia. Peter King reported this after talking to one of the VP of the league office.

It's one game this year and the Eagles run D doesn't face Zeke 16 times a season either.

Their run defense is very solid. Their pass D freaking blows.

 

[cowboyec]

Good thing nobody's saying that then, isn't it?



Why? Because you somehow think that we "are unbeatable"?



Sure, but we haven't consistently "handled our business" this year.

yet....at the half way point...we're 1st in our division at 3-0.
we beat philly 2x last year when some on here told me we'd lose because the eagles roster was "loaded".
and yet we won.
then all i heard for a week was how we'd get our ***** kicked because the eagles roster this year is "loaded".
and yet....by luck....we drag ourselves barely to a win.
now....eagles make a trade or 2....our seasons over.....they will win the east because of a "loaded" roster.
bull.
we handle business....we win the East.
if we dont...we wont.
regardless of what philly does today.
OUR play will decide it.

After posting this thread, I probably jinxed it and today will be a total dud for trades. LOL.

Those daunting hour and half / two hour flights

"Our 4-3 play". All I heard was how we'd win every game every week, and how the Jets fame was a "bye week", how'd that work out?

You don't get to 'talk tough' at one game over .500 while being the Jets only 'W'. That's the true "bull."

PHI adding a CB would be good for them, but I'm not concerned about PHI. Robbie would be concerning cause their offense needs a deep threat not named Nelson A. Plus, Anderson already knows he can smoke Chido.

Overall, PHI is desperate and that ship bout to sink...no playoffs.

DAL is probably done, yet should be more aggressive and acquire another piece to the defense, someone controllable past this season.

 

[Chrispierce]

Dallas did their biggest signing...I don’t see them doing anything but a nameless depth player move if any,

 

[charron]

Lets grab some talent and make a run. Cry eagles cry!

i think this is a bit left to be seen. They've taken major injuries to DT (jackson, Jerrnigan and now ridgeway all on IR) and gotten rid of starter Zach Brown. Their run D may not be as good as it was early in the season. Bradham is hurt as well.
