Could you imagine the piss and vinegar coming from Eagles fans if they didn't win it all in 2017

I know there’s still hatred now but God can you imagine how bad it would be.

Listening to eagles radio and podcast the last few years, their fed up with Howie. 

They credit the superbowl to Howie's FA moves and cap. But drafting has set the team back.

Have heard some folks say Doug Pederson deserves the lion's share of the credit for that, but he and Lurie didn't see eye to eye.

I've said before that Howie Roseman is the Eagles version of Marty Hurney, but unlike what happened to us, it doesn't look like anything is going to save Eagles fans from his being the "GM for life" that Richardson wanted Marty to be.

Eagles beat writer Jeff McLane put together a "deep dive' article about him a while back.

Kind of an interesting tidbit here in McLane's article...

Roseman is known for going rogue on draft day. The scouts and the personnel people will have the next guy up on their draft board ready to go, and he'll just suddenly pick somebody else.

(speculation is that it's actually owner Jeffrey Lurie making those picks and Roseman is covering for him, but nobody can say for sure)

As you can imagine, this frustrates the hell out of the scouting staff and it's been cited as the cause for some of the team's worst picks in recent years.

One of those cases happened last year.

The scouts had a particular player pulled up as the next guy on their draft board, but Roseman shooed it away and "went big" as McLane puts it, by choosing quarterback Jalen Hurts instead.

So who did the Eagles scouts have teed up on the board?

Southern Illinois DB Jeremy Chinn.

(thanks, Howie) 😁

Roseman sort of has 8 x 10 glossies on Lurie over the Chip Kelley hostile takeover.  How far that gets him remains to be seen. 

In some ways, it is almost like the Hurney to Gettleman to Hurney musical chairs, only the owner who thinks he has egg on his face is still in place.  Thankfully, not here.

From what I've read, it seems to be the same dynamic that existed between Richardson and Marty.

Loyalty.

That, plus apparently Roseman doesn't mind letting Lurie make draft picks for him.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
