E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!! Birds - Bengals game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew

I was preparing a “congrats to Iggles fans for first place” post in my head. Here’s my post: “Get used to second place.”

I suck so badly at trash talk but that one just wrote itself.
I’m most def not ascared of the skins after yesterday’s performance
It’s beyond fantasy, it’s the right thing to do to give Barkley the TD’s that he earned. He gets them down there then they do the push….they gotta give Barkley a few shots.
Washington left a lot of points on the field yesterday. But, yeah, no reason for Philadelphia to fear WFT.
Washington has three turnovers this year, tied with Buffalo for fewest in the league. That's a big part of their success, of course.
And a sign of the inevitable regression to the mean. That kind of low turnover rate isn’t sustainable for a whole year, esp not with a rookie QB.
The Eagles plan has to be playing with a lead and making Daniel’s throw the ball 35-40 times. It’s not a guarantee but it increases the odds of turnovers.
Sluggo... BTW we discussed Steen earlier this season and you had concerns about him and now that he is playing here are the stats so far...
Pretty solid.
Tyler Steen in relief of Mekhi Becton this season:
- 82 pass blocking snaps
- 0 QB hits allowed
- 0 sacks allowed
Stoutland University.
I’ve said I hope I am wrong on Steen, but you are correct, I think he’s played ok, to the point if Becton is cleared to play, who starts?
I go with Becton. He was really starting to play well at a position he is just learning. Give Stout another off season with him and Becton will be a force next year.
History would seem to confirm this. Still, Daniels is special. If there’s a mold to be broken, he’s a good candidate to break it.
I am looking forward to watching more of Daniels. I tend to agree that he's special, but he's also slight of build. He will need to be smart and evolve his game to sustain it.
Recall a couple of years ago with Jalen Hurts. Everyone thought he was going to be generational. Two up and down years later, the narrative has shifted. He's still a good QB, but never made the leap and questions remain on whether he will.
Yeah. But Daniels has a better arm that Hurts, is also more accurate. He’s much smarter than RG3, much more self-aware.
I think arm strength is overrated. Look at the Hurts TD pass to Smith. That went 60 yards in the air. Hurts can make all the throws.
I think build and strength are underrated. Mobile QBs take a beating. They need to be able to hold up.
Daniels looks great through 7 games. I think the Hurts comparisons are premature. Jalen, while young too, has been to the playoffs every year as a starter and hung with Mahomes in a Super Bowl.
Quinn is a good coach. The Skins may get there with Daniels. There’s good reason to be excited.
