Desean Jackson was visibly upset about this loss to media in the locker room. He wasn't in the mood for dumb questions, which is fine, but it's unfortunate he was so honest about his feelings. At the end of the video, he flat out just turns his back on the media.

I think this loss pretty much seals Andy Reid's fate. The Eagles will continue to ride him out until they find a successor, but overall it's not looking good.

I live outside philly and watch all the eagles team. Their team is in ruin. If you want to see a team whose players have quit just watch them. Jackson is gone after this year or he will be franchised and then traded. Andy is most likely gone. The few bright spots on the team is lesean mccoy. A beastly runner who is a stand-up guy. Handles the media well and goes out and plays ball every week.

well D. Jackson will be gone for sure thats almost written in stone, alot of talent on that team, but has battled injures, they will be fine next year

i dont think they will be fine next year. They dont have a healthy qb n are going to implement a new defensive system. They arent like us who can deal with a new d scheme b/c they dont have a hof qb. Eagles are in a rebuilding situation.

When you have Vick you always have a chance, and pending their health i think they have a valid shot at their division especially with the Defensive talent they have under contract, despite scheme change

vick was overrated. I think most people realized that this year. He had one really good year and that was last year. He cant last an entire season. He would need to win every game he did play for them to make the playoffs. Dont get me wrong he can be extremely dangerous at times but not consistently. He also isnt clutch. Truthfully i think after next year eagles will opt out of his contract. I think the eagles are in a period of transition/possibly-rebuilding stage.

I just think elusive QB's do not work in the current NFL. What teams need are consistent leadership at the QB position (ex. Colts, Packers, Patriots, Steelers), but how can they provide that - if they're elusive QB's - when they're on the bench? Players are getting faster and stronger than ever before. Records are being smashed regularly. With the advent of the increased passing game comes defenses stacking guys with extra speed and DC's installing fearsome pass-rushing packages.

What the Eagles need is a solid pocket passer who can remain upright.

i couldn't agree more. I think their season would have gone much better if they just an average qb who could make throws from the pocket. Someone like alex smith. They should really look at someone in this draft. They'll have a high pick and there are a lot of good qbs. They could get RG3 or Jones. RG3 would be really good there imo, since he is a pocket passer but he can run if you dare him to. He wants to throw it though, not run it so he is different than Vick. And he has Vick speed when he runs. That would also enable the eagles to still do what they want to on the offensive side.

I do think elusive qbs that have the throw first mentality like Ben Rothlesberger have worked and will continue to work. Also adding Cam Newton in that mix as well. The Eagles do have some interesting decisions to make with Vick and Reid.

      BREAKING: NFL loses HUGE in Sunday Ticket Lawsuit

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      When I say lose huge this is what I mean….    The NFL has to pay $4.7 BILLION for breaking anti-trust lawsuit.      BUT WAIT!!   It gets much worse!   Because it’s anti-trust that can turn into triple damages which means $14 Bill+   Now before you shout “Good!  I HATE the NFL!”  And you’re glad they lost, think of the broader implications…   The NFL gets $20 bill in income yearly.  Losing $14 bill is going to badly mess with the entire league.   Remember the 2020 and 21 seasons badly impacted by Covid.  Team salary caps took a big hit.  Rosters got messed up.  This would be even BIGGER.     FWIW:   The NFL says it will appeal.     For more Google: NFL Lawsuit

      Definitely. He said the same things last year that he said this year in defending AD. He just didn't name the player he was talking about. I think QBs were the topic, so it could have applied to Levis or Stroud, but it was obvious he was talking about Stroud.   This year, some agencies advised their clients not to take the S2 test. That's about all I remember about it. I think the cognitive testing process has some image rehab to do, and if they can keep scores and results out of the public sphere, that's a good start for them.

      He’s not wrong.  Stroud was getting killed based on doing poorly on the new test to measure mental aptitude.   Strictly on that basis it was good to see Stroud succeed.      PS —. Speaking of that test, did we hear anything about that in the 2924 draft?   I didn’t read a single story about it.   Did you?

      Go to about the 23 minute mark if you want to hear. Below is from the Youtube transcript:   one of the things I struggle with is spend so much time tearing down 23:29 19 20 21 year old kids with unnamed sources in the media that just I mean 23:36 why like wh why just I don't understand where the benefit is in that and if I 23:45 think if you go back in history and you look at the guy some of the guys that have been ripped apart and tore down um 23:51 some of them have been really successful I look I went off the year before about CJ stra with CJ and people were killing 23:58 killing him over a over over a test and I mean he he debunked that pretty 24:06 quickly

      I was always told, "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all". If Ballard said anything nice about Reich, he was wrong.
