Nick Foles stat line: 19 TDs, 0 Interceptions.

I can honestly say I never saw that coming. If he keeps it up (which seems unlikely -- however I say that every week) he will end up with the greatest single season QB rating in the history of the NFL.

After he played us, I thought what is this guy doing in the NFL? Then he re-emerges...did not see that coming.

Reminds me of people crowning Romo after he had a good first 10 games.

It's impossible to not fall in love with the stats he is putting up. But I'm not scared of him either.

Needs to do it next year to begin to fear him. But it's insanity for some to act as though his season thus far isn't impressive especially for a 2nd year guy in a new offense.

I actually saw it coming. Thought he was the best QB for them for the past two years actually. Not 19 Td's, no picks good.

We need to wrap the division up early IMO.

If you put some pressure on him he'll crumble. That's what happened when we played them. He made the same mistake today he did then on that 3rd down roll out when he hung on to the ball too long. Lucky enough Arizona held and it was ball game. I also see the INT to PP was another play in which he made a bad decision when there was some pressure on him.

I like the 19 n 0 stat and I want to see how the remainder of the season plays out. I have a hunch he'll end up with an INT before its all said and done.

He's playingreatd, but no where near the numbers would indicate. I've seen multiple bad throws getting bailed out with flags, great catches, or just the luck of the bounce. I've seen him play 2 games and I can count 3 interceptions taken back and that's not counting the flat out dropped ones as well. He's pretty darn lucky, though he can throw a pretty pass. I'm not going to lie, he's looking more and more like a franchise QB.

We can say that about Romo right ??? His TD to INT ratio is great

Say what about Romo? Even non Romo fans will tell you the guy can't catch a break. I promise you won't ever see Foles hot red throwing for 500 yards and 5 tds just to end up throwing the game ending INT because his line men stepped on his foot. While Romo has a lot of interceptions this year that shouldn't be, Foles has no interceptions which really he should easily have multiple.

I don't see how anyone who has seen Foles play this year, can disagree that Foles has been extremely lucky. Today he was lucky yet again, threw a terrible pass that got intercepted, yet there was a flag ...

The PI on the disputable UN-catchable ball in the end-zone was a horrible throw by Foles.. Guy was wide open to... Not impressed...

Totally disagree there. I thought he throw it in the perfect spot. It was the intercepted/ holding penalty where he made a terrible decision and was saved by the flag. In fairness the guy makes great decisions with the football a majority of the time. I don't quite know how to evaluate him. He could be another Kerry Collins, or a really elite quarterback down the road. Keeping fingers crossed it's Kerry Collins.

He's doing it, so there's no knocking it. But his deep throws still look like ducks to me--and not the Oregon kind. He scored a couple of easy touches on crossing routes in the end zone to wide open players, too. Though the TD he fit in to Ertz was nice. It sounds stupid to say I'm not impressed with 19-0, so I won't say that. But I think Chip Kelley has Foles driving a pretty comfortable bus right now. I guess it doesn't matter if all the guy does is make the plays that are there for him to be made, but I'm more impressed with the work his WRs are doing than I am with the passes I've seen him making. I think at some point the statistics will catch up to him a bit and his stat line will normalize. I guess we'll see, though.

I just can't believe Foles and the Sheagles are all that.
Time will tell but I feel the last game will be meaningless with the boys locked in as the fourth seed.

5 weeks ago he was the worst in the league and the idiots were clamoring for Mariotta.

His int will be a key game loser. Perhaps down by1 against us, he throws a pick 6 with 2 min. Left.

Then throws the game ender with a min. left.

What a fine end to a season that would be. It would burn in the guts if the idiots all offseason.

He also has McCoy in the backfield to limit the blitzes against him. If McCoy goes down, the picks will pile up fast.
