Love the Siranni extension. He may be goofy, but whatever he's doing is pretty clearly working.

I’m not a Sirianni fan but he’s won a ton since becoming coach.

I'm probably in the minority, but ever since he talked shit to the fans, that changed my mind because of how the team reacted when he did it.

He’s out of the mold of a Dan Campbell. He’s not some Xs and Os guru on one side of the ball. He’s a motivator and team builder who does a great job building culture and accountability. A guy like that is going to be coordinator dependent and we saw that in 2023 sandwiched by 2 Super Bowl years.

Biggest question mark for me next year is the transition to Kevin Petullo as OC.

The players clearly love playing for the guy. I think it could be his rah rah high school coach mentality. I think pros can become jaded with the “it’s a business” mindset 24/7. I think they view his style as a breath of fresh air.

The fan in me would love to take this and run with it, but the fact that they were 3-5 in the games that Dak started and some of those were before Micah got hurt makes the objective person in me wonder if you even recall how the early part of the season went. It wasn't pretty even when Dak was there.

The New Orleans game was a reality check....Lions game....

 

[Brees#1]

Yes, Dak is miles better than Rush and while I certainly don't expect it, they very well could win the division this year because anything can happen in the NFL and in the NFCE in particular. My point was just that I don't really see any way they were winning 10 games last year even if Dak stayed healthy and I'm not sure pointing to two games that they lost by over 3 TDs is helping your argument there. I guess we will never know. Hopefully he stays healthy this year.

I had the Texans defense on my fantasy team as well as my DFS team. I also had Mixon that game. I believe I had the Texans defense as captain. I was certainly seeing Houston fumble around until they turned it on late thanks to a defensive TD. They were letting the Cowboys hang around and given the Texans were slumping around this point, Dak I believe does make a difference.

NFC east should be a tough division. All teams have definitely improved. Philthy has the most talented roster in all of football. Their only weakness is the rb trying to play qb, he's still not that bad though. Unfortunately they’ve got a damn good chance of winning the division back to back for the first time in 20 years

 

[Iggloo]

Finally some bad news for Philly: Saquon is rumored to be the next Madden video game cover boy. This has not gone well for most people--just ask Christian McCaffrey last year!

Let’s hope he is a curse breaker - that said, glad it wasn’t Jayden

I would say 3 of the 4 improved. The Eagles I think took a little of a hit. You lose a player the quality of a Parris Campbell to a division opponent and it's definitely going to swing the balance of power. They also lost Slay, Sweat, Milton Williams, Maddox and Becton. They were deep enough that they will replace them (Probably shouldn't even list Maddox because they would have cut him), but at a minimum, depth certainly becomes an issue. They still obviously have the best roster in the division and probably by a lot. It will really be interesting if the Giants take a leap forward which is possible if they nail both of their first rounders. Plus as good as all of these WRs are in the NFCE, IMO, Nabers is the best. That kid is just damn near uncoverable. Give him a QB and I think he is up there with Chase and Jefferson. What is it with these LSU WRs...

^^^ Ladies and gentlemen this is called shit in your hat and hope and pray it becomes a diamond.

All these years and you still haven’t figured out why the Eagles are good and contend 6-7 out of every 10 years.

It's as if you didn't even read what I wrote

 

[Iggloo]

Amazing how the Eagles can field such deep and talented rosters when they should be in cap hell according to @jarntt.

It's almost as if pushing contracts into future years works because the cap keep going up or something, wild stuff.

Maybe someday Jerry Jones will figure it out? Nah, that's crazy talk.

Those were some fun conversations. The Eagles even had Wentz blow up after his deal and had to trade him and swallow that massive dead cap hit in a single year and they still didn’t miss a beat.

You keep creating your own history no matter how many times I correct you. Why don't you show me where I've used the term Cap Hell? That's your term and NuttyEagles term. What I have said over and over is that kicking the can down the road is going to cause you to not be able to sign other players that you want to sign because you don't have the cap space to do so and that's exactly what happened two years ago and you collapsed that year because of it (CJGJ or Slay and all of your LBers and a bunch of other starters or rotation guys as an example) and you would have kept Milton Williams as an example this year if you had the cap space to do it. I don't even know how you can disagree with that objectively. Why don't you find where I have used the term Cap Hell to describe the Eagles. I don't think I have used it since before you traded Wentz away.

Actually you are wrong. That's what saved their cap. Keeping him is what would have hurt their cap

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Ha!

Milton Williams got 24 million a season. Hes not worth that. There’s no world where the Eagles were going to pay Williams that kind of money. The issue in 2023 wasn’t the cap. It was the fact that they blew the evaluation of players at the LB spot. They had cheap linebackers in 2022 and 2024 and went to the Super Bowl.

The fact of the matter is that the Eagles have mastered manipulation of the cap. They do it better than most any other franchise and when it comes to their core, they never have to franchise anybody and they never have to part with a member of that core unless they decide the caliber of play isn’t there.
