The Falcons just look mediocre. They couldn’t win against the Bears at home last week, and taking down the red-hot Baltimore offense.
Pick: Baltimore 27, Atlanta 17
Minnesota @ Buffalo
Teddy Bridgewater’s train got brutally derailed against the Lions last weekend. A road trip to Buffalo won’t help him get back on track.
Pick: Buffalo 20, Minnesota 10
Miami @ Chicago
Miami gave their best to try and overcome Green Bay, and will now see their play slip a bit going out to one of the more difficult places to play on the road.
Pick: Chicago 31, Miami 20
New Orleans @ Detroit
Its time for the Saints to wake up and turn things around. Fresh off of the bye week, they’ll be able to overcome a Detroit offense that just hasn’t looked special without Calvin Johnson.
Pick: New Orleans 23, Detroit 21
Carolina @ Green Bay
What happened to the Panthers defense? They can’t stop anyone anymore, and a road date with Aaron Rodgers is not at all what the doctor ordered.
Pick: Green Bay 34, Carolina 23
Cincinnati @ Indianapolis
What happened to the Bengals defense? They’ve been lit up for 80 points in the last two games. A road date with Andrew Luck and the Colts on extended rest is not at all what the doctor ordered.
Pick: Indianapolis 30, Cincinnati 24
Cleveland @ Jacksonville
The Jaguars apparently haven’t taken any steps forward in Gus Bradley’s second season. The Browns, high off of a big win over Pittsburgh, keep it going with a solid road win.
Pick: Cleveland 31, Jacksonville 13
Seattle @ St. Louis
The Seahawks bounce back and take out frustrations on an inferior Rams team.
Pick: Seattle 30, St. Louis 17
Tennessee @ Washington
A mediocre Tennessee defense is actually what the Redskins need to snap their losing streak.
Pick: Washington 27, Tennessee 17
Kansas City @ San Diego
The Chargers have a date with the Broncos this coming Thursday, but I don’t think Mike McCoy’s group is the type to look past an opponent.
Pick: San Diego 33, Kansas City 20
New York Giants @ Dallas
Dallas is just in a great groove right now. Offense and defense are clicking for this team right now. The Giants came back down to earth last week, and must now try to bounce back without the services of Victor Cruz.
Pick: Dallas 31, New York 17
Arizona @ Oakland
The Raiders showed some signs of life a week ago, but the Cardinals know they can’t afford a slip up on the road or they risk losing ground to Seattle and San Francisco.
Pick: Arizona 30, Oakland 17
San Francisco @ Denver
Time for the 49ers to get knocked down a notch. Manning and the Broncos offense will overwhelm the Niners at home. Colin Kaepernick played his best game of the season last Monday, and he won’t be able to keep pace with Manning.
Pick: Denver 31, San Francisco 21
Houston @ Pittsburgh
Bounce back game for the Steelers at home after an embarrassing loss to the Browns.
Pick: Pittsburgh 23, Houston 20
The Percy Harvin news came as a shock to many Im sure. Clearly, good teams are not putting up with thugs. We saw the Eagles move on from a guy in Djax, who in my opinion offers more to a team on the field than does Percy. If a team is willing to bail on a guy like Djax, why is it surprising that a guy like Percy gets let go. Its a shame because both these guys are tremendous assets and Xfactors on the football field. However, they are also selfish idiots.
The Creme is rising to the Top in both NFC/AFC after this weeks Games
With 2 Good Games for Sun/Monday night
But so far
NFC
Contendors
Eagles, Cowboys,Packers,Arizona & Detroit at all rising playing good ball
(The 49ers with a Win tonight are in the mix as well)
Pretenders
Seahawks, Panthers,Bears, Saints,Falcons & Giants
AFC
Contendors
Patriots, Colts,Ravens, Chargers,Dolphins
While the Chiefs & Bills win their way in
And of course the Broncos, regardless of tonight’s outcome
Vs the 49ers and the Winner of Texans/Steelers Mon Night.
Pretenders
Browns, Bengals and the loser of Texans/Steelers Mon
Night
Very wrong.
NFC Contenders:
Eagles, Packers, Dallas
NFC Pretenders:
Detroit, 49ers, Ariz
I don’t know where to put the Seahawks.
Why even mention Saints, Chic, or Falcons or Giants? They’re not making the playoffs.
Some Team has to Win the NFC South
With Panthers,Saints & Falcons all struggling
I list the Bears as a pretender but do note the Lions have a habit of self-destruction Every Season down the stretch so I am not completely ruling them out
49ers Beat both the Eagles/Cowboys so I am not counting them
Out either and especially the way the Seattle “Young Guns” are imploding..
I have a good question….
Why is it when the Cowboys have a winning record the expectations is Superbowl, but when the Eagles have a winning record the fan base claim the team is 3-4 years away from a team that can contend?
Keep in mind this is the same Cowboys all the experts claimed was a joke compared to the Eagles before the season.
Anyone right now talking the Cowboys as SB contenders is an idiot.
That being siad, you’ve brought up Romo as some sort of hero the last few weeks so…..into the “idiot” category you go.
Over the last decade the Cowboys have won 1 playoff game. If you think the current Cowboys fan base is programed to expect a super bowl you need you head examined.
There is an entire generation of Cowboys fans that have never seen their team reach a conference championship game.
are you listening to the sport talk shows comparing this team to the Cowboys of the early 90’s?
They are saying the Cowboys can easily be in line to represent the NFC with a wide open conference this year.
looking at the rest of the NFC….are they wrong?
Again, I said nothing about the Cowboys fan base.
read again.
I have a better question…
Why the fuck are you posting on here? You are clearly an anti-Eagles TROLL.
Who is expecting the Cowboys to win the SuperBowl? I doubt anyone who watched them play the Giants today.
Songsiskoolbreeze2….who know’s, who cares, but I am willing to bet your theory has something to do with Nicky 9 being immobile…, i.e., not being a track star who can pass every now and then. So trite and transparent you are.
The question….How is the Eagles years away from contention according to the Eagle’s fan base, but the Cowboys are being looked at as a contender this year?
Who said the Eagles are years away? F#@$ the cowboys!!! Must be your new team huh?
I’ve heard over and over on this site that the Eagles are a few drafts away from being considered a real Superbowl Contender.
Saying, it’s alright to go with a learning quarterback with growing pains because the team is not ready to contend anyway.
Have something changed?
Now, that Seattle and the Niners have come down to earth can we now say the Eagles can get to a Superbowl this year in an wide open NFC?
Ok…people are entitled to their opinions….so what. People did not expect Eagles to be performing as well as they are now either. We can all talk, it has to be settled on the field by the players. I know Romo chokes in December…historically speaking. A lot of people have been talking aboit that on the radio too.
But what about you ‘Skins team FraudSongs? I figured you would be on fire today watching your team win one with Colt…..I know, you are just waiting for Robert to return, but why aren’t you listing the ‘Skins as one of your dominant NFC a teams? Hahaha, such a loser. Don’t jump on the bandwagon now you loser. Go Troll someplace else, maybe the CDC website claiming that vaccines cause Ebola.
It will be the Packers & Broncos in the Super Bowl as I Stated back
In the Summer..
I see Krapernick blowing the 49ers chances
Throws to wrong receiver on previous drive resulting
In a Int to Broncos who quickly turn the short field into
7 Pts then on next series, kraiernivk overthrows a wide-open
WR Lloyd which should have been a TD,
Then gets sacked on 3rd down play.
I don’t see Krapernick anywhere close to
A Top 10 QB..
Keep him in the Pocket and he is actually below Average
..
Top 5 in NFC after Week #7
1) Cowboys (6-1)
2) Cardinals (5-1)
3) Packers (5-2)
4) Lions (5-2)
5) Eagles (5-1)
I like Kapernick and would take him in this offense in a heartbeat. I know many dont but I like him way more than Cam Newton and Subway Bob. Hes at his best when hes clicking with a solid running game.
If Harbaugh walks….it will be interesting to see what the 49ers do with him.
I don’t like Cam Newton or RG3 at the NFL Level.
The best Young all-around QB is Andrew Luck by far, then R Wilson,
and I tell you who is quietly having a nice Season
Is Dolphins Ryan Tannehill..
Jim Irsay awarded the Game Ball, non classy move by Chuck Pagano.
2 players ejected for touching an official yesterday, Luke Kuechly and Erik Walden.
The Kuechly ejection was a joke. Ref grabbed him from behind first and he just swung his arm to get the guy’s hands off him. He thought it was a player. Stupid, trite call be the ref.
I didn’t see the Walden ejection.
post whistle shoving match and the ref separated Erik Walden and the Bengal like a boxing ref would if they were clutching and grabbing. Walden swatted the ref’s hand/arm off his chest for pushing him and the ref tossed him with a 15 yard penalty. I hope refs throw more flags for that after whistle nonsense. I hate the Extracurricular post play tough guy act stuff. Pierre Garcon, Steve Smith, Desean Jackson, Cary Williams, Antoine Bolden, Cortland Finnegan, Richard Sherman. I also hate that 8 guys jump on a fumble pile.( wish NFL would end that too)
Seahawks and 49er losses help out the birds in the Wild Card hunt. the Lions, the Cowboys, the Pack and the Cards wins hurt the birds a little bit in playoff standings race.
DJax drew a last minute pass interference penalty on the 3 yard line to set up an easy game winning field goal for Washington.
I had the eagles/redskins battling it out for the division with the winner getting a 9-7 record. Looks like 13-3 is needed to win the NFC east this year between the Cowboys and Eagles.
Had Broncos beating Saints in superbowl. ( Broncos still look good )
Had Drew Brees beating MVP ( Demarco Murray week 7 MVP )
Had Richard Sherman D – MVP ( JJ Watt)
Had Kelvin Benjamin Rookie ( looks good still)
Had CJ Mosley D – Rookie ( looks good sitll)
saints collapse is the most shocking to me, I thought they were best team in the NFC
I called both the Saints/49ers troubles this year from back in the Summer, Both Teams lost a lot of Veteran Leadership with the Saints in Salary Cap Releases and the 49ers mostly due to Injuries,Suspensions and some Cap Cuts as well as the GM/HC not on the same page…
Dallas has Washington, Arizona, @Jax, @NYG before the Thanksgiving gave vs Eagles. There are 3 very winnable games with a toughie vs Ariz, (though at home) I cannot see how they don’t win 3 out of those 4 (at least).
They’re going to be 10-1 or 9-2 going into the Thanksgiving game vs Eagles.
Eagles have much more difficult slate, but manageable:
@ Ariz, @Hou, Carolina, @GB. There are 2 cupcakes in Houston and Carolina, and two tough games on the road obviously. I see 2-2, maybe 3-1 if they catch a break.
Just because of the schedule, its going to be tough to catch those Cowboys.
NFC teams to worry about:
GB
Dallas
Eagles
Arizona
Seattle
NFC pretenders that will fold in big games (esp on the road):
Detroit
Carilona
Saints
Using the Harvin trade as precedent….
Brandon Marshall and the Bears are going down in flames. They resigned Cutler for a boatload of cash and have Alshon Jefferey on the cheap.
Would you make a run at Brandon Marshall if available in trade? He is the prototype for a Chip Kelly WR.
No Brandon Marshall best years are behind him as he’s on the wrong side of 30 and is grooming himself for his Post-NFL Career in Broadcasting and being a Spokesman about Mental Illness…
If your looking for a Short-Term Experienced WR to help now and won’t cost you much in terms of Trade Value or Salary is Hakeem Nicks who is not needed in Indy, A Greg Jennings of the Vikings, Andre Caldwell of Broncos, Santana Moss of Redskins, Michael Williams of Bills..
Best move for Eagles is to Play J Matthews & J Huff as much as possible to get as much experience and then Draft another big WR in next Years Draft..
Santana Moss gives you nothing. Hakeem Nicks gives you nothing. Jennings may have something.
Marshall is still a playmaker right now. If you trade for a player they have to have impact…not roster fluff.
Brandon Marshall focus/energy is more on his Post-Football Career at this stage … Now the fact he plays with old Pal Jay Cutler who throws him the ball 10-12 Times every Game is going to give B Marshall great Stats,but he’s not the competitive player he once was
Stay away and no sense is trading away High Draft Picks or Young Talent for part-focused Football Player who is 30 Years old..
Stop it. Hes the same competitive player he has ever been. He hasnt lost a step and his game is still the same. The only difference is he has matured at least at what is shown on camera.
You wont need to give up more than a 4th at best for him at this point. It would be a low round pick with the possibility of being higher if he balls out.
All hypothetical….
Biggest need on the team IMO is ILB help….if Kendricks remains continually nicked up all season we need someone else outside of Acho who I was higher on than Matthews but now looks like a pratice squad player. Plus if Ryan keeps playing the amount of snaps hes playing hes going to be useless come playoff time.
and take on his Marshall’s Big Contract…
Just Stop the Nonsense IJ, for it’s not happening….
His contract is no different than Harvin. You can walk away from it next year.
Marshall cause problems in Denver, Miami and looks like he is causing ripples in Chicago plus he is a domestic abuser. Jeff Lurie won’t sign off on Brandon Marshall.
Merely hypothetical as a one year rental.
I would be looking at ILB upgrades and backup RB.
would i make a move for Marshall????
DOES A BEAR SHIT IN THE WOODS?????
however Eagles would never do it. the clip going around the past week or 2 chip states while miked up he is all about locker room culture and great guys… aka not gonna happen.
chip wants dudes to fall in line….
Oh and a speed back. We cant rely on Chris Polk. If he can play awesome. But Trey Burton as emergency back is ridiculous.
Thats almost Andy Reid no real PR game 1 territory.
When talking about WR’s
Here are 3 Wr’s that I have been pretty high on the last couple of years while GMCliff has bashed me about and said they were all not that and would suck as NFL WR’s)
2014 Stats
1) Golden Tate (Lions – 48 Catches – 650 Yards – 2 TD’s)
2) Michael Floyd (Cardinals – 20 Catches – 350 Yards – 2 TD’s
3) Kendall Wright (Titans – 32 Catches – 300 Yards – 4 TD’s)
You really are having a problem with me referring to better talent than you aren’t you Paul……LOL!!!!
And they aren’t all that.
1.Tates production comes LARGELY from Calvin Johnson being hurt.
2. Michael Floyd – Averages 50 yards a game, and scored 1st TD last week.
week 6
3. Kendall Wright – You, in your hate for DeSean Jackson said, he would be better than DeSean Jackson coming out of College…LOL!!….You were wrong…..and he averages about 42 yards a game…You call that productive!??
I never bashed you Paul, I just mentioned that your guys give evidence to the mediocrity of your talent evaluation…
BTW, I saw your bashing of Jamie Collins – He was always a Linebacker in College, and this year he is hurt, although his entire team isn’t having a good year. I never knew 1 person was to blame for the play of the entire Defense…….asinine…you’re still jealous…..but I love ya man…
ALL KIDDING ASIDE, I think,…WE….Do, a great job in our quest, and search for talent to make the Eagles a better team…..
But I’m still better……:)
except for you missed on LaNe Johnson, Ertz and Logan– a draft you gave a D-, while your buddy the true negative nitwit gave it a Z-
other than that you are right on!
And to Counter-Punch
1) Golden Tate not having Megatron makes his Stats even more impressive in my opinion since Teams can now Double Team him and put their Best Coverage CB’s on Floyd.. Yes He gets more Passes thrown his way, but you still have to perform and make plays
2) M Floyd is getting hot and seems to have a nice Rapport with QB Carson Palmer who missed 3-4 Games…By Season’s End, M Floyd will have his 60 Receptions & 1,000 Yards
3) You talk about Injuries on LB Collins and that it’s not his Fault that the Patriots Defense is Banged up.. Look at who Kendall Wright has had to play with at QB his his 3 Seasons with the Titans … (Fitzpatrick,Locker, Whitehurst and back to Locker) ..He’s has 2 HC’s & 2 New OC’s in his first 3 Season… Kendall Wright can play and if he was on a stable Team with a real QB, his Production would be much better
Ha,
1.Golden Tate, is not being double Teamed by ANY Team FYI, but he is playing well in Megatron’s and in Reggie Bush’s injury riddled season.
2. Michael Floyd…lol…Bullshit…
3. Kendall Wright – even more bull….My point is he isn’t DeSean Jackson, and never will….42 yards per game….nuff said..
That’s crazy you used that analogy about why Kendall Wright is all that, because if memory served me correctly, you said the same about Stephen Hill…..” He needs a better QB, and a few more years to develop”…….Combine over I guess huh???
He (Kendall Wright) would be what he is in the NFL with any decent QB except Peyton Manning – who would make him look like a younger Wes Welker – otherwise he is who he is – an average player at best – who can’t touch DeSean Jackson…..
your rating system is a convoluted quagmire, It makes zero sense.
You’re right, Its really not for those who don’t know talent, I understand…..
Stats don’t exactly tell you how good a player is; They’re extremely circumstantial For instance:
Shady is a better RB talent wise but other RB have better stats.
Jimmy Graham is a better talent than Dwayne Allen, but he has better stats.
Julio Jones is a better talent than most WR in the league but others have better statistics……..Players can have a better year statistically, and still not have as much of an impact than the ones with more talent……
Like your point about Benny Logan leading the league in tackles for D-Lineman – it’s bullshit…..again circumstantial – a RB runs into a congested pile and he happens to be there when the opposing O-Line gets no penetration – He’s still not more impactful to a game than Vinny Curry – who gets less minutes…
Your rating system to me makes no sense you see things through rose colored glasses making average players seem like potential pro bowlers…..
Paul’s stats for Floyd, and Wright, are embarrassing to use as evidence of talent
I never said anything positive about WR Stephen Hill and stated all that Pre-Draft Run-Up a few years ago aid he would be a Bust at the NFL Level.. He ran one Efficient Pass-Route while at Georgia Teach and that was the Straight-Up, Fly Route.. He’s never really learned the Route Tree..
Back to Floyd/Wright, I also never said these Players were Pro-Bowlers, What I said is that you were wrong in claiming them to be Busts, which is what you said, while I stated then and now, that both Floyd/Wright will have Productive NFL Careers which both are having…
Paul, you are my man, but you backpedal a lot, and today is one of those days…
I never said they would be bust…I said they wouldn’t be everything you say they will be.
You said Wright could replace DeSean,,,DeSean made the Pro Bowl that year11 So in other words you were saying Kendall Wright was a potential pro bowler, as you said Floyd was a future potential pro bowler,,,,Yes you did..
Now, you have to take a few steps back, because after 3 years it’s apparent, and obvious that neither is all that….just like I said.
Who are your choices this years draft?….I always look forward to your preferences for the Eagles in the draft…….
E0S, has already chosen Jameis Winston, and Marcus Mariota from last year. He follows the hype, and ignores the big picture. I know you won’t…
I said they would be productive NFL Players and all 3
(Tate,Floyd & Wright) are just that, You said they would be Bust’s and are not all that.. No Backpedaling necessary GMCliff, for you
have been proven wrong again…
Kendall Wright Could Replace D-Jax, Hell, Jeremy Maclin has ?
Put Kendall Wright on a NFL Offense that has a NFL QB and see what he does…It’s not his Fault that Titans Offense has been inept at Coaching/Scheming and QB play in his 3 Years there
GMCliff, there are about 160 wide receivers in the NFL meaning ” average at best” ( which you called Kendall Wright) would be the 80th best wide receiver. Kendall Wright is a top 20 wide receiver hence why your rating system doesn’t any make sense. Drew Stanton and Charlie Whitehurst are below average QBs who both check down the ball to closest passing option to the line of scrimmage. Now that Carson Palmer is back behind center, Michael Floyd will returns as the Cards #1 option. Andre Ellington ( the running back ) is currently the Cardinals #1 passing option because every pass play was checked down for a month in Arizona behind Drew Stanton.
GMCliff, everybody gets different enjoyment out of the NFL Draft for different purposes. I personally like to follow the local draft eligible players whether from the High School area, Rutgers, Penn State or even the smaller local schools like Temple, Deleware, Villanova. You are the one who likes to pretend you could do better than Howie Roseman. I know I’m not better than him. I get a kick out of you floundering while you proclaim you could Better Howie. You still haven’t found a QB better than Howie’s draft pick Nick Foles. Your current QB is Logan Thomas. So far you head coach is Gus Bradley with Logan Thomas behind center, bwahahahahahaahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EOS, as usual you don’t have your facts straight.
If you really read my article, you would have read where I stated my 1st choice for the new Eagles Head Coaching job was Bill O’Brian. but because he went back to Penn State, my choice was Gus Bradley – and I stand by that, although I have learned to love Chip.
– and I don’t think Bradleys’ coaching ability can be based on what he has done so far in Jacksonville. Bill Belicheck could be the head Coach, and Peyton Manning could be their QB, and they would still stink. Minimal talent, yet he almost beat the Birds with that minimal talent too…
You and Paul, are dreaming if you think Kendal Wright, is better than DeSean Jackson, or Jeremy Maclin……and that’s what I mean Paul – stupid statements like that – Claiming Average production equates to superstar talent – and 50 yards per game – 42 yards per game for Wright – is NOT productive……He would NOT be a #1 receiver on the Eagles…He’d be the 4th receiver behind Maclin, Cooper, and Matthews…..stop it Paul…Your Pride is getting in the way of your logic.
and E0S – Michael Floyd, has NEVER been, nor will he ever be the Cardinals #1 receiver, as long as Larry Fitzgerald is on that team, and if he ever left, they know they would have to FIND a #1 receiver because he isn’t it.
Fitzgerald, gets double teamed, and yet Floyd scores his 1st touchdown IN WEEK 6!!!!!, and yet only averaging 50 yards per game – That’s not productive, that’s Paul clamoring, and exaggerating the average production for his guys
So you’re also saying indirectly that all three will make the Pro Bowl…
Incidentally, I don’t ever remember discussing Golden Tate ever. Like I said you do 100 mock drafts, and claim you singled them out when it’s convenient. …..
Regardless, I am right – None of them are all that. So the two of you can continue to exaggerate their abilities, and production all you want, and I’ll call it what it truly is – average talent at best: not all that.
BTW, Logan Thomas was suggested as a developmental player, never to start. So get your facts straight, not just throwing things against the wall to see what sticks or irritates me
Paul knows the last QB, I wanted to draft to eventually start for the Eagles was the same year we drafted Nick Foles – Brock Osweiler
So Basically GMCliff, Your Saying that it’s Ok for Logan Thomas to need time to Develop at the NFL Level because you picked him, but that many of the Players I have listed from the past, such as Tate,Floyd.Wright have to be All-Pro’s out of the gate…
As far as QB’s goes in the Foles Draft, I recall you thumping your chest about Ryan Mallet the most….
And as far as this Years Draft,
Under the Radar Players that I liked that have gotten off to good NFL Careers are WR’s Jarvis Landry, WR John Brown Jr,
RB T West, OL Joel Botonio, OL Justin Britt, Safety Deone Bucannon, RB Bishop Sankey , QB Derek Carr , RB Tre Mason,
DT Aaron Donald, LB Preston Brown, WR Brandon Cooks
WR Davante Adams, TE Crockett Gilmore, CB B Brashaun Breeland, DT Beau Allen
Are any of these Players Pro-Bowlers in Year #1, absolutely not,
but are they contributing and playing significant Snaps as Rookies and helping their Teams.. Yes they are…
I never looked at Logan Thomas being anything, but a potential back up, because you know all I said was that Foles was the man.
I never looked at him as replacing Foles, or being anything special. I don’t even know why you even mentioned him.
Wright, and Floyd are still average…….what does Logan Thomas matter???
How can you recall me thumping my chest as you say, for Ryan Mallett when he was drafted the year before.
In the 2012 draft I wanted Brock Osweiler as a QB Prospect, If the Eagles couldn’t get him I suggested – not thump my chest – suggested, to perused a trade for Mallett, but Osweiler was the QB I wanted in the Foles draft.
I’m really trying to see your point my friend. 85% of the prospects I have suggested for the Eagles over the years are Pro Bowlers – not just progressive contributors…….
For me Deone Buchannon – every one on here knows where I stood with him, is the only player in that list….
but again if you do 100 mock drafts you can pick your spots when you see it as convenient….I think Bishop Sankey is a joke too…
Love you Paul…who are we looking at for 2015 draft???
GMCliff, you suggest 50 players and then wait to see who is successful. If Austin Seferian Jenkins or Eric Ebron were having a good season then your soap box would be on their band wagon bull horning with I told you so they are better than Zack Ertz but that didn’t prediction isn’t happening. If Walt Aikens, Stan Jean Baptiste, Keith McGill, or Pierre Desir were any good your narrative would insert their name into your propaganda comment speeches now but they are not. If Tiny Richardson or Cyril Richardson could play then that would be your narrative. You have a list of 50 players and 85% can’t play.
LOL!!
You have me confused with Paul. I speak about the same 12-15 players all offseason leading up to the draft. I don’t know why you keep saying that.
Some of those players may have been mentioned as potential prospects, but you didn’t consistently see SOME them on my mocks. I loved Khalil Mack as well but he wasn’t in any of my official mocks
I may mention the same players 20 times but not different players. again YOU NEED TO GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT…
Cyril Richardson starts for the Bills,
Deone Buchannon starts for the Cardinals,
Jeremiah Attouchu, plays behind the high priced Dwight Freeney – Freeney will be a cap casualty next year because Attouchu, brings more energy to the position – unlike Marcus Smith
Kony Ealy is 2nd string behind Wes Horton for the Panthers – I have no problem saying that because he is still a better prospect than Marcus Smith, and unlike Smith will be starting soon enough..
Gabe Jackson starts for the Oakland Raiders
Walt Aikens, and Pierre Desir, are both 3rd string on the Browns, and Dolphins; Aikens is being trained to play the Strong Safety, and Desir at Cornerback – Both coming from small schools – Linwood, and Liberty, you can’t think they were going to make an impression immediately. But they are both good prospects for depth, that will be starting sometime in their career…..
DeMarcus Lawrence is injured, and hasn’t played a game this year.
Kyle Fuller is starting for the Bears – DAY 1……
All that says IS you can kiss my ass E0S, because if the Eagles had drafted any of those players, their talent level would be much better.
These are the players I MOCKED all offseason….what percentage is that Jackass??? You’re just a hater.
Are you looking forward to Jameis Winston’s NFL Career? I am, so I can tell you again – YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT – and I told you so….
Cliff, I know you addressed the question to paul, however, I am going to give you who I am looking at for the 2015 draft. I will get that done after work.
Oh I forgot to mention Ethan Westbrook, and Andrew Jackson.
Andrew Jackson is 3rd string ILB for the Colts, Good depth player, has a chance to be a starter with more experience…6th round pick
Ethan Westbrook is 2nd string – but has started 5 games this year coming from small West Texas A&M. Bright Future for an UDFA….
Hey Eagle!!! Good to hear from you man!!!
Okay, I look forward to it…:)
GMCliff, God help us all now!!!!! Your grandiose disorder is resurfacing while your factitious disorder regresses.
Ethan Westbrooks has 4 Tackles for the Rams in 2014
Paul that more tackles than Marcus Smith brother….
But you don’t think that is a major accomplishment for that young man to come from West Texas A&M, to make an NFL Roster??
You don’t think that says anything about his potential, or talent?
Don’t minimize it because he has 4 tackles – He wasn’t a high pick with expectations….I give kudos to him in the same way, I give kudos to Beau Allen…..nice job for someone not expected to contribute.
E0S, that sounds like a problem for you to deal with to me, and it is just your problem….
fFor the Record, I was the only one who Mocked DT Beau Allen to the Eagles.. Yes I like his Future as an Eagle and as a NFL Player
Just like I like Ethan Westbrooks potential also.
Lol the funny thing is the guys both GMCliff and Paul mocked arent anything to crow about.
Outside of obvious names I dont think one of you have hit a homerun with anything.
Paul throws a million things against the wall and hopes something sticks…lol
GMCliff goes to the mattresses just not say hes wrong or argues well my bad pick isnt as bad as your horrible pick.
The Mocks are awesome to hear from you guys….until you both start really acting like you are talent scouts and not Keyboard Forum Monkeys like the rest of us.
Izzy I agree with you 100% the Gm and paul mocks are fun/funny to read. Paul loves to make 100 predictions one of which will be correct and he crows about it, the other 99 are explained away. GM on the other hand has some sort of thing about not getting paid to be a real GM– actually graded the eagles draft of 13 a D- when in fact rounds one and two have probable pro bowlers, round three a good solid interior lineman and I believe some special teamers and PT contributors in the later rounds.

SL Rams – CB Janoris Jenkins suffered Knee Injury and did not Return
SL Rams – RB Zac Stacy out with Ankle Injury

Chargers – CB B Flowers suffered Concussion and left game
Redskins – RB A Morris injured his Ankle but return to field of PLay
Redskins – OLB Brian Orapko injured Pectoral Muscle and is having MRI today and could miss significant time… Stay away from this guy in Free-Agency.. He is way Overrated
Janoris Jenkins was getting roasting the last 3 weeks anyway, that might be a blessing in disguise. Kyle Fuller was playing Defensive ROY football ( big loss). The Redskins Orakpo, The Chiefs Berry and Lions Bush always seem to be injured don’t they? Bryce Brown fumbles next week ( guarantee)
Getting a 4th rd pick for Bryce Brown was highway robbery by Roseman and Co.
I like Janoris Jenkins alot and was hoping we would take a run at him in the draft. He is getting roasted this year compared to last because he is trying to jump EVERYTHING. Hes more reckless version of Asante Samuel right now. Kid still has skills though however with the Rams lack of pass rush hes getting exposed. Put him on a team with a better pass rush and his ballhawking skills would be on display.
What do Eagles have as far as 2015 Draft Picks go IJ..
You have a Breakdown at all..
4th round pick was conditional. Could have been a 3rd that would rollover into 2016 if Bryce Brown hit certain marks which at first I doubt he would but with both Spiller and Jackson gone who knows…possible.
The only other thing is that pick is somehow tied into the Stevie Johnson trade so that confuses me. I believe we get the 4th this year if Stevie hits certain marks if not we get 2016.
However they have all of their picks next year.
JJ Watt vs Big Ben tonight.
Ryan Fitzpatrick vs Brett Keisel in a beard off.
Troy Polamalu is so easy to expose in the passing game but Fitzpatrick is so dumb in the passing game I am unsure he will be able to complete passes when they get Polamalu isolated. Tough call who wins this game. I’ll go Texans 15 – 14.
Huge Game tonight with both Teams going in at 3-3
the Loser will drop to 3-4 and have an uphill battle to make the Post-Season
I like the Steelers to Win at home on the Arm of Big-Ben to WR Antonio Brown Brown & TE Heath Miller
The only real shot Texans has, is for RB Arian Foster to get off to a fast start have a big Game which he is capable of versus a softer Steeler Defense… By QB Fitzpatrick has to play a smart, clean game and make a few big plays which I am not sure he’s capable of doing…
Steelers 22 – Texans 17
Evan Mathis just announced he is cleared to practice this week. He stated Nov 10th is where is is targeted to return to the lineup.
Mathis also states Kelce is ahead of schedule and may be ready by the Texans game.
Nice…
daggolden the purveyor of good news, unless your David Molk or Julian Vandervelde who face the ax for a Mathis return on the 53 man roster.
I’d say Dennis Kelly is the odd-man out when Kelce gets activated
Cousins is a better fit in DC then RG3, LOL too funny Colt McCoy come on down. RG3 and his people were probably somewhere laughing their asses off.
Biglion you’re forgetting that RG3 lost his starting job to Cousins last year. It was halftime against Kansas City, the score was 38-10 and the fans never returned to their seats for the 3rd quarter. The entire stadium was empty.
And your forgetting he wasn’t healthy the entire year last year, Cousins just flat out stinks being benched for Colt McCoy?
RG3 STINKS, COUSINS STINKS, GRUDEN STINKS, THEIR DEFENSE STINKS, THEIR OFFENSE STINKS, THEIR OWNERSHIP STINKS
THE REDSKINS FUCKIN SUCK
but Mhenski….THEY ALWAYS WIN THE OFF SEASON!!!! ALWAYS– except 2011 that is!!!
hey our guys on here whine and cry when we don’t win the off season and its seems to be working out in season!
Actually RG3 and his people arent laughing…because he already cost himself a contract extension and will have 7 games to showcase his skills for a team that more than likely will have quit by the time he suits up.
Not to mention Gruden has put him on notice that if he doesnt want to run and make plays out of the pocket than he wont play. Most people not following the Skins dont understand that RG3 has made it know by both him and comments by his father that they dont want him to be a running QB at all.
Bob is turning into McNabb.
Kirk Cousins interceptions are the equivalent to Bobs 7 step drop roll right go out of bounds for 8yd loss. Or break his ankle.
Reports from DC Beltway has Daniel Snyder telling his Daughter to break it off with Kirk Cousins immediately… Details at 11pm..

Eagles C Jason Kelce (sports hernia surgery) is practicing Tuesday.
Kelce was originally targeting Week 10 for his return, but appears to be ahead of schedule. PFF’s No. 1 center from a year ago will do wonders to stabilize an offensive line that is finally getting healthier. LG Evan Mathis (knee) is reportedly doing well and could be back by Week 10.
Great News Indeed Mhenski
Mhenski, any news on Chris Polk? he was a non dress because of hamstring Black out New York Giant Sunday Night game not available player ?

The Eagles returned to practice on Tuesday with positive news: linebacker Mychal Kendricks, running back Darren Sproles, center Jason Kelce, and running back Chris Polk were all back at practice. Brad Smith was the only player absent.
Hey guys wold yawl give up a 3rd or 4th rounder for Vjax, I would in a heartbeat he would be our x factor and would put up over the top…..his salary is not guaranteed and won’t cost much for him, and he’s a way better option then cooper…big decision not sure we can pull it off…plus we don’t pick that great in 3rd and fourth round anyway
nah not me. our team is young and not one wr away from a super bowl. our safeties are trash and our corners are too… vjax is 31 also… so i would be happy if we did the deal but i just dont think that is really a fit for us
eagles can get more offense from within easily but getting nick to stop turning it over and figuring out ways to get shady going early and often
Yea I know what you mean but I just love how dallas can just throw the ball up to Dez and know 95 percent of the time he will make a play and I thnk Vjax could do that for us……I know we are young but Vjax would help us in the clutch

NE Patriots Acquire OLB Akeem Ayers from the Tennessee Titans, who never seemed to fit their 4-3 Scheme very well but should fit the Pats 3-4 Scheme very well.. At 6-3 255lbs, he’s that long-armed, rangy type of OLB that Belechek loves to have… The Patriots have lost leading Tackler and Defense Captain ILB Jerrod Mayo for the Season and have young Players in Donte’ Hightower and Jamie Collins who are still trying to learn Belechek’s System
Ayers was a 2nd Round Pick (39th Overall) by the Titans in 2011 Draft out of UCLA
