E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!! Birds - Bucs Wild Card Playoff game thread

[Phlebitis]

And for all of those critical of Hurts' play on Sunday, I hope they watched Kyler Murray last night.

I was embarrassed for him. He certainly didn't look like one of the chosen ones either.

no..... no no no. weak QB class, and while they have 3 first round picks there's no way a game changing QB will be there at that point, in this weak class.

Barnett is hopefully gone, Graham is coming off of his injury and what, 34/35 years old? Outside of Sweat, who is at the DE position? Not to mention LB? WAY too many holes on D to package 1's for a QB in a weak class. Spend 2 of them on D, and trade down for a 1st next year, and have 2 of them to potentially work for Stroud, Bryce Young, Haener, Uiagalelei (lot to prove this year), Rattler (lot to prove this year). Deeper class next year. You group together your firsts this year, for a typical Howie "reach" at QB and you're screwing yourself on D. Bird in the hand, 2 in the bush type of scenario. plus there is some cap room so on O you could go after a WR in free agency. A-Rob, Davante Adams, Will Fuller.... there are a few.

Pickett to the Iggles.

I think this is the most likely scenario. They aren’t likely to get an impact DE at 15, 16 or 19, though.

I think DE is a hole they try to address in free agency for that reason or they go after developmental DEs later (like they did with Sweat).

Use the 1st round picks on help at Safety, CB or LB.

One needs to be critical of both quarterbacks. Both were bad.

I've been a season ticket holder since the Kotite era, so hardly a hater. But, when you see those analysts break down films and explain the reads Hurts misses it's enough to make you cringe. Combine that with his questionable arm and doubt creeps in.

I think it feels that way because we follow the Eagles. Also, Murray and the Cards were 10-1 before injuries derailed them.

Murray was playing at an MVP level so he has established pedigree that Hurts doesn’t. Murray will get a flier, but if it continues then the pundits will pile on like they did with Carson Wentz.

The interesting thing in Arizona is Kliff Kingsbury. I think he had one year left on his contract. It’s pretty unusual for a team to let a head coach go into a lame duck season.
