Just give it to 'em.  That was not a first.

Seems like there was pressure to hire a black coach.

Also, criticism of black coaches being sacrificial lamb.

 

I don't care WHOOOO it is, but would like to see someone in that division be good.

 

Any chance they can lure Sean Peyton with a #1 pick?

Maybe. 
 

I get the feeling he is more interested in going to a team that is constructed and ready to win, instead of taking on a full rebuild gig

At least it wasn’t this obvious 😂

The reason why I feel the Eagles aren't on the Bills level is because they are a +14 in turnover differential but still struggle to win games at times.

 

The Bills are a +2. Could you imagine what the Bills point differential would be if they had 10 fewer turnovers?

I’m still not sold because of their exceptionally soft schedule. And they still struggle at times. They could go 17-0 and I still wouldn’t be shocked to see a one game exit in the playoffs.

That was a weird ending. 
I would be pretty mad up 12 with less than 2 minutes on 3rd and long they called a qb draw for Allen. Followed by a qb sneak. Just unnecessary hits. Give it to Boston Scott and run the clock and punt it. Put the game away but still pretty risky.

Houston you had one job

Exactly; they had Culley as a sacrificial one-and-done placeholder 

Do they get to one-and-done a second black coach?

If they think they should go in a different direction, why not?

 

Wait; don’t answer that…

Cowboys x2, Giants x2, Vikings and Titans. I wouldn’t call their schedule “exceptionally soft”.

SOFT

 

They already got the Cowboys once, without Dak.  
 

Giants?  Stop it.  Good story. Not a good team. 
 

Vikings and Titans, ok, fine. 

So 3 tough games.. Vikings, Titans and Cowboys with Dak.

Felt like a decision you made thinking about the win streak, almost over team success. I'm not rooting for a loss If I'm a Philly fan, but I'm also relieved, to just play one at a time.

 

Look at Judge in the post season. I think he got cold at the wrong time, but that record chasing had to eventually mess with mental and mechanics.

Literally every team in the league has a soft schedule. Because almost every team in the league sucks. 

 

The Bills play 6 good teams max. I am being generous considering the Ravens and Bengals good. 

 

The real luck the eagles have is with injuries. It's absurd how healthy they have remained. Meanwhile the Bills and a lot of other teams have been or are decimated.

Before the season everyone pointed at what a joke their schedule was, and has played out that way.

Yep the only thing that has changed is the Giants are 6-2 which nobody expected, but as has been said above... they are a good story, and a good coaching job but a seriously undertalented team.

And as has been pointed out the Giants metrics show that their 6-2 record is all smoke and mirrors.  Great story, good for them, but not a good team yet.

I have said I think it is more likely Philly go 17-0 than they win a Superbowl.

Because the Bills will beat them in the SB?  

 

I think they will stumble prior, but as a Bills fan there is no way I can call them the best team in the NFL.

Overall reflections:

 

- There is some good with the Texans. This is certainly not a team that has quit, but I think Davis Mills has gone backwards. As soon as the Texans are at all behind the chains and Pierce is taken out of the game it feels like you know the drive is dead;

- I think their 2022 draft will prove pretty solid in terms of young pieces to help turn it around. I think Kenyon Green looks good as a run blocker up front (some work still needed in pass pro), Pierce is an obvious win and Stingley and Pitre have had their moments in the secondary too. They just need a Quarterback;

- The Eagles have their Quarterback. I still went into this season thinking Jalen Hurts had something to prove before he could be crowned as the guy in Philly (and I say that as someone who was higher than the consensus on him coming out). But the wondering is over. He isn't a top 5 Quarterback yet, but he is still improving as a passer year on year and is bordering on the top 10 at this point;

- AJ Brown and Miles Sanders are two guys I have always loved. The Eagles are my irrational hatred team but I find it really difficult to root against these two guys. Brown is now an elite NFL receiver and Sanders is one of the most dynamic backs around;

- My questions on Philly remains their ability to play from behind. I just don't know where we are going to see that tested on the remainder of their schedule. I know the Jags had them down early in that matchup but the Jags are the Jags... if this team makes the playoffs and is suddenly down 14 to a San Francisco for example.... how will they respond?

I think they will lose in the playoffs. Probably before the Superbowl.

When healthy, the 9ers roll the Iggles!!

Have played one team all year, Vikes. And I’ll bet they don’t want to face them again.

Not even Vikes fans think they are any good.

 

Doubt if still undefeated they beat Dallas on the road if Dallas is healthy.
