Pro Bowl has to be much more fun for the players than the fans.

Super Bowl participants do not play in the Pro Bowl.

Indeed. Odd that they used highlights from 2013 though, isn't it?

Could just be Mario and Dareus. Would be ridiculous, but Kyle is notoriously underappreciated. But it would also mean that both Mario and Dareus fell from last year, which would be equally ridiculous.

Must be Kyle.

The situation surrounding Lynch was different. I know it sucks to see him crushing it in Seattle, but it was what it was. Let's not downplay Boobie. He led the team in YPC. The run game was all kinds of bad last year for several reasons. I think the value of the Brown trade was very fair, as No Saint reiterated. Though I do think the drafting of Karlos indicated that the staff does not feel confident in Brown's development. Sure would have been nice to have SJ13 out there with Watkins and Woods, but I think the savings from trading him and eventually getting Percy make up for it. And I, for one, thought Mike Williams was going to be more significant to our passing game at the time we made the trade.

Branch was not on a team for 3 months. He signed with the Pats, won a SB ring and was re-signed in March.

It wasn't that bad of a trade. Brown's upside was worth the 4th. He is an explosive, low-mileage RB that showed flashes when given the chance to start in McCoy's absence. I think seeing that sort of production in two NFL games is worth more than the typical 4th round choice. And given the struggles of our running game last year, maybe it wasn't all his fault he didn't contribute when called upon. But the insurance he provided warranted the trade since CJ and Fred both went down. If not fot the fumble against KC we could be looking at him differently. But didn't we essentially trade Stevie for him? Does that change anyone's opinion of the trade?

Wowza

Wonder what family situation has kept him away for 5-6 weeks. Regardless, it looks like Brown is done here.

The Eagles line underachieved? I don't know about that. I would say that, while not quite living up to pick #4 status, Lane Johnson has been pretty good. Warmack seemed to get better too. But I still agree with your larger point about the draft class being a disappointment.

Sure doesn't.

Pwned. And the answer to that question is the infamous "43 is the Mike" game where ol' Tommy put up a 50 burger in part thanks Bryan Scott playing Mike backer.

I feel like Willis and Smith knew their championship window was now closed.

Per Schefter tweet. A bit on the old side, but still productive for them. What a whirlwind year for this team.

Well, I hope Whaley is right about this.

His recent tweet seemed to imply that his heart was still with us.

No. We see him later in the season. So let's just get that big time W at home.

Poor Spikes. I will miss him.

Mario still hasn't been deemed "elite" by their metrics. I don't see him making it, which is ridiculous.

From what I've gathered, Graham is still going to play some corner. Guess we have to see how TC plays out.

Think he makes the team and plays rotationally like Searcy did. Duke got much better after that game.

Me too.

Dream team!

How did you come to that conclusion? I don't think I've ever seen him drop a ball.
