Irony

Keep making excuses, or deflecting, though.


Claiming that the d2jsp eagles fan base don't go low enough to make fun of an injury is making an excuse and deflecting?

And somehow that makes us back pedalers?

Winning is one thing. Making a playoff run and winning the big game is a whole 'Nother ball game.

Just because you dont make fun of injuries means the entire Eagles fanbase is so innocent and not low class? Ok then.

That's all I can do at this point. I have to just go back a few years to when I was extremely high on Foles. I think our offensive weapons were slightly better back then but our defense is better now than it was that year.

Our offensive weapons weren't better back then.

If you recall, 2013 was the season that Jeremy Maclin was out all season with that ACL or MCL tear. We had DeSean Jackson, and then guys like Riley Cooper :rofl:

The offensive line was better though, I think it was pretty damn dominant that season. But in terms of receiving/RB weapons, the Eagles are loaded right now at TE, WR, RB.

You can use that broad statement on any fan base...

I think overall you might have had a more talented group of WRs, but now you've got an abundance of skilled enough guys. Foles won't need to force the ball anywhere, and I think that'll benefit him. He can look around the field and find a competent player in any direction who can make plays. It's better than way imo, whenever a backup comes in with a top 10 WR (or someone who thinks they're top 10, cough Dez cough), the WR starts bossing the backup around about getting them the ball, and that ends up costing turnovers because you shouldn't force the fucking ball to anyone unless you have to, and that's only as a last scenario, just don't fucking do it, it's not smart football.

Continue being optimistic, you never fucking know, and I remember how hyped you and the other guys were on Foles, it was one of the funniest things ever for the forum (sorry, but you gotta admit it was pretty funny when he turned to ass), but we saw how good he could play when he's feeling confident, and he just started out with a win over one of the best teams in the league, maybe he can pull this off, or at least pull off a first round bye and a playoff win, which would be fucking huge for you guys.

Luckily we have two relatively easy matchups coming up. If we can win 2 out of 3 and finish 13-3 we're garaunteed a bye week and most likely will get home field throughout (pretty sure we have the tie breaker over Vikings now but not positive).

Eagles have been a great home team dating back to last year even, and the bye week will give Foles more time to prepare for the playoffs.
