imo Jack's biggest problem is , he sets too deep on pass plays. I dont know if he gets this from watching Lane or what. I think he should take them on more closer to the LOS. I alslo think he should do what Stout tells him to do.
@Grant Green , I’m all ears on your thoughts on SF coming to Philly as a 2.5 point favorite.
Chris Long had an interesting take on The Rich Eisen Show. He said the Eagles just went 12 rounds in the rain and now go up against a physical and well rested Niners team. It will be interesting.

Right now, I have SF as a 2.5 pt favorite over the Eagles on a neutral field and give Philly a 2 pt HFA, so that means I have SF as a 0.5 pt fav.
The game opened at Phl -1, so unless that is a look ahead line from last week, it's been heavily to SF (and not by the public). It could be a head fake to get a better line on the Eagles later in the week, but I probably lean more toward Chris Longs angle. We'll see if the line moves back a bit.
Reich indicated that he’s finished in the NFL. I have a strange hope that CJF will contact him sooner rather than later for the OC position.
does your calculus include the fact the Eagles are always 1st and 9 and that they play on a 55 yd field?
Contrary to popular belief, there is no calculus involved in setting a spread. The kinds of things you mention are already baked into the power rating number for any particular team.
I kinda hope not. I admit that I was fooled a few years ago into thinking that Reich may have been a bigger factor than thought in the Eagles super bowl run. I think his time at Indy and Carolina have proven that to be untrue.
On a side note, would you take Belichik as your head coach if he departs NE? I've heard this thrown around as a possibility.
Eagles haters bringing the game up all week, a comeback win vs. the Niners would be too much.
Keep hating the birds.
Keep hating the birds.
If Shaq is going to sign a one-year minimum deal, then Philly over Dallas is a no-brainer.
Friend of mine texted this to me after the game Sunday night...LOL
Interesting. Are we ready for McCaffrey with Morrow and Elliss???

Report: Zach Cunningham out at least this week with hamstring injury
Veteran free agent Shaquille Leonard is set to visit the Eagles on Wednesday and the meeting will come as the team prepares to move forward without a key part of their linebacking corps.

as long as Carter and Davis are keeping them clean, should not be a problem for the Eagles!! Might be for San FranInteresting. Are we ready for McCaffrey with Morrow and Elliss???

i'm not worried about runs up the middle, i'm worried about where McCaffrey makes his money on the edges. Elliss's youth scares me for his ability to immediately read the runs to the edge and he gets washed out
Former Pro Bowl WR Jackson to retire as Eagle
Former Pro Bowl receiver DeSean Jackson will retire Friday as a member of the Eagles.

That's fairly comparable between the two teams. And the Eagles stronger schedule likely skews the advanced metrics in the 49ers favor. It should be a good game. I don't see a runaway in either direction save for a series of disastrous mistakes.
