Because no one should be forced to watch McCown play football anymore, Darnold's a backup at best in this league, and Teddy has small hands and a noodle arm.
Well suck it up because Foles would be 3rd string on the Jets.

Does Belichick know that no matter how badly they beat the Eagles that Super Bowl win still stands?
Does everyone realize Brady didn't play a single snap in the first pre-season game? What's the difference between playing one quarter then and one this week? It's still two weeks total. You can't coach scared. Besides this is the same scenario every year. TB12 playing too much time in the pre-season.
What I hated worse than that was having Edelman and Amendola returning kick during the season because NE didn't have anyone who could even fair catch the damn thing.

My goodness it was a friggin joke lol

But anyway, if that's how Belichick rolls so be it. It's the pre-season, he can do his thing however he feels fit.

Speaking of jokes, da fuq was that out of the Steelers?

Well James Washington continues to look good. If that guy is Martavis without the headache that is a huge plus. Besides the pick 6 I thought Dobbs actually looked decent. It's a shame he's going to get cut and probably end up elsewhere because I think he's growing.

I missed the sarcasm and it wasn't as if you were the only one who had mentioned it.

As NE fans we all too well BB will do exactly as he likes. We take the good with the bad.

All good.

Guy obviously knows what he's doing so if that means kicking the crap out of a team in the pre-season then so be it.

Didn't watch the game. I'll watch it later on Game Pass. But that score:eek:

Two pick 6's didn't help. Tackling and looking out of position still looks like a concern for the defense but I'm hoping that's just the result of it only being 8/16.

Silver lining was some good individual performances like James Conner and James Washington.

NE as a team looked good tonight.

Brady was steady minus any of his deep passes. Receivers can't seem to get separation deep? Expect more screens and underneath stuff this season.

The defense had 8 sacks and looked fast. A couple bad angles led to some of the bigger plays for the Eagles.
ja'Whaun Bentley looked good again in his 2nd pre season game.
Keion Crossen was burnt all night. He may have played himself out of a job.
D Mac looked good. But his brother likely won't be around come the cut downs.

On the offensive side of the ball:
Cordarelle Patterson finally showed us a little something
Eric Decker still struggling. Had a couple balls he should've caught and needs to if he wants to stick around.
O-line did a nice job. Wynn went out with a lower leg/foot injury? Hope he's alright?
James White just keeps doing James White things. Solid performance running and catching out of the backfield.
Hill and Webb didn't see the ball a lot but were solid when they did.

Over all a B+ performance tonight.

Refs get a C. Too many of these lead with your head calls...

It's preseason bro. Some of them were not even playing.


When you get your ashes hauled, it's always preseason and doesn't count. The Eagles have been crushed two weeks in a row. Foyer almost lost his throwing arm last night and Wentz hasn't even seen the practice field. Sudfeld looked really good but come the real games, he won't be able to carry the team.

One other minor thing........the Eagles first team offensive line was on the field last night and gave up three sacks. The backups gave up five more. That's 8 sacks and the Pats had 9 more QB hits. Lance Johnson might want to pay more attention to the fact that he got pushed all over the field last night than trying to rile up Patriots fans. I've never seen a fan walk out of the stands and put on pads.

Right now, Eagle look like the Browns of 2017.

Who is Lance Johnson and Foyer?

Enjoy your preseason victory. We all know that teams that win in preseason go on to win Super Bowls.

I'll keep thinking about what last happened during a game that counts.

Just eyeballing it, I would start McCown and trade Bridgewater. Darnold looks like a guy with promise who can benefit just sitting down for a year and/or wait for McCown to injure himself. Jets aren't winning anything with any of these QB's this year.

Brady definitely has shown signs of age. No dam bursting or anything but he definitely can't do everything he did when he was in his 20's.

Not for nothing but Brady never had any "burst"
