2023 Eagles Thread

Hurts was really bad Sunday. His third interception, the one in the 4th, I was shocked to see a NFL quarterback throwing such a pass. I have no reason to think he won’t bounce back but, boy, he was plain awful against the Jets.
I think people are getting carried away with the Dolphins. They are not scoring 40 points on the Eagles. The beat up on the bad teams, but not so much against half decent defenses. They scored 20 vs Buffalo and 24 vs NE. I don't see them getting more than 30, which is what they scored against NYG. I think the betting lines are pretty tight on this game, so 27-24 (Eagles) feels about right.
The loss of Lane Johnson was a huge impact. Hurts was getting pressured and did not look comfortable in the pocket as the game progresses.
Oh. the Hurts-Tua connection had never entered my head til now. These guys are total professionals, all respect. I’ll be rooting for Hurts, of course.
I hope the Eagles wipe the blood off their lip, dust themselves off and come out pissed off on Sunday night. If their DL can pressure Tua - and that's been a tried-and-true method to slow the Dolphins - then they can definitely win this weekend.
Put my money where my mouth is and bet the eagles at -2.5. My only other eagles bet this season was vs rams, so let's hope for similar results.
I have to hand it to the Eagles. They have drafted well and figured out that the best college football players are in the SEC.
Pfft. 40 points my ***!
I was vulnerable and down when I wrote that
Ha, definitely not a genius. Over the long haul, I'm lucky to be right 54% of the time.
Betting is like the stock market, buy low and sell high and Miami was getting way too high (and maybe a little dip on the Birds after losing to the Jets). Several other factors - Sunday night in Philly in Kelly green (extra HFA), Miami starting center out against a nasty defense ( do some of the Georgia defenders remember losing to Tua?), Miami with top two CBs out, saw the market was liking the Eagles as line was moving in their favor.
Oh, and not to nit pick, but I got a -2.5, which has way more value than -3.
understatement of the year Award to Nick....

Nick Sirianni tells Jeffrey Lurie, "Thanks for the $100 million to pay A.J. Brown"
When the Eagles made the draft-day move to send the Titans a first-round pick for AJ Brown last year, they also met the price the Titans wouldn't pay Brown and gave him a four-year, $100 million contract.
