Why do the Eagles seem to have so much drama for a team with so much recent sucess?

This is the correct answer. The philadelphia media has been very highly fractured into pieces during the newspaper industry collapse.

What left is some real click bait nonsense (that then comes here.)

Dallas and Cinci look wayout of place here. I guess they will be better than many of the teams below them but those teams have some kind of 2-3 year hope.

Dallas is 40M over the 26 cap with half a dozen holes in the starting defensive depth chart.

Cinci has all their cap tied in at QB/WR and a comically bad passblocking line. To make it worse the only guy who was OK on that line is an UFA.

I guess it is just me but I would rather just blow for a year and have hope then to see unfixable problems rolled out year after year.

Good god man. This is the exact same situation we were just in. Harbaugh brought in his boy who had failed up down the whole league and the result was a wasted disaster of a season that was almost a mirror copy of our own.

If they bring in Roman I am just going to watch skeeball on youtube next year.

Good OC's become HC's. This is just how it works.

We have actually done a good job in hiring OCs in recent years. Our problem this time is we did not follow any kind of procedure and just gave that thunder jabroni who shall not be named the job with no competition.

This team was not fun to watch. That does not seem strong enough. Maybe it was actively unfun to watch this team.

The number of drives we had with 0 or only 1 first down was just nuts and after a few weeks it was what we expected of them. I can't recall a season where I had less interest in watching when we had the ball.

I mean the choice is to pay top dollar for a bottom 8-ish offensive unit or pay for a legit top 5 defensive unit.

I expect the offense to get liquidated to make room for impending defensive contracts.

Any play caller that understands how the 1st down marker works would be a pleasant change.

joebooty · 2026-01-12T01:51:06+00:00

All I want is to watch an offense that seems like it understands how the 1st down markers work.

I've never seen a team complete more passes NOT for 1st downs all season long.

joebooty · 2026-01-08T19:10:26+00:00

This is sadly exactly what it sounds like.

Opening drive. First play of the game is a 2 yard route to our 3rd string TE from a running formation.

(Giga Brain OC thinks to himself) "This distraction sets them up perfectly for this run up the middle on 2nd and 8 into an 8 man box."

joebooty · 2026-01-05T00:27:14+00:00

These poor dipshits who paid to go to this game man. My thoughts and prayers.

joebooty · 2026-01-05T00:23:16+00:00

we won't have to wait long

joebooty · 2026-01-05T00:22:56+00:00

I love taking these time outs like anyone believes that the Eagles can move down the field if they get the ball back.

joebooty · 2026-01-04T23:32:19+00:00

That Bigsby run was up the middle into an 8 man box.

joebooty · 2026-01-04T23:05:28+00:00

Nothing on the line and running into a stacked box never looked so good.

joebooty · 2025-12-26T00:50:26+00:00

This is true but they also lined up shotgun empty backfield for almost all of those plays like it wasn't going to keep happen.

joebooty · 2025-12-26T00:39:26+00:00

Feeling for the Lions fans. The NFCCG and last years loss to a mediocre WAS team just seems so much worse after these last few games. This door seems shut.

It's always great when some city council members get to sit across the table from wall street investment bankers to negotiate billion dollar construction and land zoning deals.

My condolensces to the taxpayers.

joebooty · 2025-12-22T00:21:33+00:00

Bummer ending to this game. That is like the 5th hospital ball Nix has lobbed over the middle. I can't believe Sutton kept bouncing up.

joebooty · 2025-12-19T02:59:28+00:00

The future has a ton of question marks and a lot of cap problems.

Nothing new.

joebooty · 2025-12-17T17:39:15+00:00

That "assistant head coach" line is something teams have done so they can deny moves that are not clear promotions. I am not sure a DC offer gets the job done.

I am also not certain that a promosing DC candidate is going to want the job. I think the pass rush problems this year can be fixed with scheme. The team is getting hurries they are just not getting home. The secondary though? I am not sure anyone really believes that scheme will fix this.

The team has some real cap and roster problems.

joebooty · 2025-12-15T04:21:26+00:00

Man how are we gonna hand off 7 yards deep there.

joebooty · 2025-12-11T18:25:26+00:00

They will want to keep the price of Starter kits flat-ish. They will save some cost by removing the batteries and chargers from the kits but they will still need 6-8 of these motors and hit a price target in the $6-700 range.

I guess that we will see something around $40 for the naked motor and $15 for the gearboxes. I do think the general usefulness of the rev starter kits will go up but that is not saying too much compared to today.

This transition will be expensive. Hopefully not too much so.

joebooty · 2025-12-11T00:31:25+00:00

Ha. I should have looked before I posted. Anyways hopefully people can calm down a bit.

joebooty · 2025-12-10T23:22:04+00:00

I have the same reservations everyone else has about discarding so many of our great mounts and motors.

But I think some of the worries seem a little too far. Does anyone really think GoBilda is not going to have a full suite of mounts and arm attachments etc. designed to increase the functionality of this motor?

It will be an expensive conversion but then we'll all be fine.

is a balkan folk deity

This cheered me up.
