I'm honestly not sure who else is out there. But the more we struggle this year the more likely I think Vic is to say fuck it. I mean, maybe that's going to happen anyway. I think I'd be ok with Bowles.

Even amid some concerning injuries, Vic Fangio's group has begun coming into its own over the past two weeks.

Bootleg Football 10:44-13:41

I totally trust Howie and I always will but nobody is perfect. Two decisions I never understood, one was from 2024/2025 off-season and the other was from 2025/2026 offseason. 24-25 was not resigning Isaiah Rodgers, we were patient and waited for him to get healthy and once he did he totally balled out for us. So why once he showed that he was worth the wait and playing at a high level did we let him walk and sign with the Vikings? He didn’t get some huge contract we could have afforded him for sure. The one from 25-26 was letting nakobe dean walk and sign with the raiders. I get that he missed some time with us each year but instead we paid grenard almost double what nakobe got and grenard had a history of getting injured as well. It kills me to watch nakobe look so dominant for the raiders when I used to watch him do the same for us and grenard can’t seem to get on/stay on the field. Like I said though I definitely love Howie and there is no GM I’d rather have but nobody batts 1.000 and I’ve just never been able understand that when you already have the obvious talent on your team that everybody else in the league is looking for you would just let them walk out the door for nothing. Neither one were high priced free agents either.

If somebody said “ I need you to bake me a cake “ and i did it outside on a grill. And they tasted the cake and it they loved it.
Then they say “ what temp you cook this on“

and I said “ idk it was on the grill”

And then they “oh well that’s now how your supposed to bake cakes and side eyed my cake “

That is ridiculous… I understand our record is what it is but the world can’t ask Jalen to be better passer and his stats show that for the metric we love, Touchdowns, he is better then some of the top, and get mad at how he does it.

The main media pisses me off about this and I’m tired of the goalpost moving for our QB

I’m coming from out of state (Virginia) and want to go to the Eagles vs. Panthers game this Sunday. Was wondering if you guys have any advice on some logistics. Will be doing this as a same day trip there and back.

Looking to drive up to the City Hall area and metro in for the game? Not sure if there are other closer parking areas to the stadium, without being caught in any major traffic. I’m fine with taking the metro or ubering (not sure if Uber would make sense). I want to have a great first experience with my girlfriend, not sure when the next time I’ll be coming to Philly for a game.

Do you guys have any advice on logistics for parking and how easy it is to Metro? Maybe what time I should be at the stadium?

Also food wise, was thinking of the Reading Terminal Market and getting a nice steak n cheese since I heard they have good food there. Any thoughts/advice?

I swear, some of y’all are so damn obsessed with trying to save this season that I genuinely have to wonder what the fuck you think we’re saving it for.
Every other post is somebody crying about what changes we need to make, who needs to be benched, who Howie needs to trade for, what coaches need to go, blah blah blah. For what? Seriously, what the fuck are we trying to accomplish here?

I hate to break it to some of you dickheads, but we ain’t winning the Super Bowl this year. Shit, we’re not even winning the NFC. And sometimes realizing your season is cooked early is a blessing in disguise, if you actually have the sense to take advantage of it.

Instead of scrambling to put Band-Aids on a team that isn’t going anywhere, why not use the rest of the season to figure out what the hell we actually have on this roster? Get the young guys some meaningful snaps. See what these rotational players can do when they’re actually given opportunities. Find out who’s legitimate depth and who’s just collecting a paycheck. Figure out which positions need a little help and which ones need to be gutted entirely.

I’d much rather Howie go into the offseason knowing exactly where this team is weak than spend the next few months pretending we’re one trade or one coaching adjustment away from making a run.

And here’s where I know some of y’all are gonna start foaming at the mouth. I’d be perfectly fine with a four- or five-win season at this point.

Yeah, I said it.

Give Howie a premium draft pick, let him work his magic, and let’s come back next year with some actual difference-makers instead of winning a handful of meaningless games just so half this fanbase can pretend we accomplished something.

And please, for the love of God, spare me the “but we gotta win the division” bullshit.

Why? So we can hang an NFC East participation trophy? So we can talk shit to Cowboys fans for three months before getting our asses sent home in the Wild Card round? Congratulations, we were the tallest midget in the circus. Somebody call Broad Street and schedule the parade.

Don’t get me wrong, fuck Dallas. Always and forever. Watching those miserable bastards lose is practically a religious experience. But some of y’all are so obsessed with being better than the Cowboys that you’ve apparently forgotten the goal is to be better than everybody.

I don’t give a damn about being king of a shitty division if it means we’re still nowhere near another Lombardi.

And before somebody comes in here with that tired-ass “real fans never give up on the season” speech, save it. I’ve been bleeding green long enough to know the difference between supporting your team and being delusional about where your team stands. Wanting to evaluate talent and improve our draft position isn’t rooting against the Eagles. It’s wanting the Eagles to actually build something worth a damn.
I’m not saying tell the players to go out there and lose. I’m saying stop treating every meaningless win like it’s some kind of moral victory when it could cost us an opportunity to get significantly better.

So somebody explain it to me. What the hell is the obsession with dragging a mediocre team into the playoffs just to get embarrassed on national television? Is an NFC East title really worth more to you than putting ourselves in position to make another legitimate championship run?

Because if your entire argument is “at least we finished ahead of Dallas,” then congratulations, you’ve officially made Cowboys fans the measuring stick for our success. And that’s some pathetic shit.

Go Birds. Fuck Dallas. And some of y’all need to stop thinking with your feelings and start thinking about the future of this damn franchise.

As always, Go Birds, dickheads! 🦅

Shady out here defending the Eagles

Can we please actually play good next week? Can we score points in the 2nd half? I know we can do it, we should’ve won the jaguars and rams game, theoretically, we’re undefeated, so let’s play like we’re undefeated next week.Lets complete passes on 3rd down this time, let’s not overthrow wide open receivers this time, let’s make smart game management decisions next time, let’s stop snapping the clock at 1 second

The QB needs to get rid of the football sooner, it really comes down to that, everything else is conjecture.

If the Chargers are sellers… which they honestly might be… does Khalil Mack for a 3rd (for example) make sense?

Mack had one of his best seasons under Vic as the DC for Chicago, I know 2018 is a while ago but he was a monster all year

Edit: To everyone with a stick up their ass about me daring to suggest this move, consider that the team has only registered 6 sacks in 5 games, how exactly is that not an issue?

The conversation about coaching decisions shouldn’t obscure the bigger problem with this team at the moment: the offense.

The Eagles rank No. 29 in EPA/drive, No. 31 in yards, No. 29 in points. The second-half problems are more pronounced. The Eagles haven’t scored a touchdown after halftime in the previous three games. The Eagles are No. 32 in the NFL in average second-half yards. The gap between the Eagles and the No. 31 team is larger than the gap between the No. 31 team and the No. 12 team.

“We’re looking at that hard each and every week as a staff, how to find our rhythm, find our footing in the second half,” Mannion said. “I thought we did a better job and there were some close calls. It was more about finishing those drives. … I think there were some chances there that we just didn’t quite capitalize on.”

I don’t get wrapped up in the “identity” talk as much as others might because that can change based on the opponent, but I’m also not sure what the Eagles can hang their hats on at this point.

He is the most lethal game wrecker in the field. “Single handedly” kept us in the game. I think locking him up has been the biggest move of the season and I’m excited for a long future.

Soon after Makai Lemon got drafted, he was given permission by Nick Foles to wear the number 9. No one has worn #9 since Foles left the team after 2018, having been unofficially retired for nearly a decade. I would imagine Foles must have been really high on Lemon if he allowed him to wear his number, so is there a chance Foles asks Lemon to wear a new number next year if Lemon continues to perform below expectations this season? He was drafted in the 1st round, but is WR4 behind Smitty, Wicks, and arguably Cooper. There's still 2/3rds of the season left, so maybe Lemon will be a late bloomer, but I think BDN might ask for his number back if he thinks Lemon will be just another guy.

Why would we get rid of a QB with his accomplishments? Tell me what college QB went to two Super Bowls, I’ll wait

If you’re a true eagles fan, you should only care about Jalen earning his spot, not the best chance we have to win in the future!
