joe flacco checkdown count is on
replay is on nfln at 11PM
I think NFL GamePass has a one week free trial and you can watch live there?
About to look into it
I will pirate games until the day I die or whenever the NFL folds because of severe brain trauma.
Lol ah yeah I forgot about Reddit streams
hurts inaccurate pass dropped by reagor
we're back
Hurts looked good. Bad drop by Blonde Ertz.
Helluva blitz pick up by Howard

No one should watch an entire week 1 preseason game, let alone pay attention to it.
preseason is meaningless but hurts was not an abject disaster. he wasnt sam bradford in green bay but he didnt take a doo doo on the field so mission accomplished go team
It's too late, I'm already wacko for Flacco.

:-D
Joe Flacco, your starting QB for the Philadelphia Eagles
so this Quez guy seems fast.
Steelers play by play man for preseason in Bob Trumpy. Part of the Bengals teams that hated the Steelers. Sounds weird to Uncle Don listening to him applaud the Steelers.

Reagor, Hightower, Watkins were supposed to be barn burners. We know one can catch.
Wentz Killah - Dwayne Haskins
Optimistic about this group of skill position guys
If Hurts and the OL are decent they'll be a good offense
Is it just me or does seeing Raegor out there piss you off?
Not at all. I'm not writing him off yet.
Jake
47/47/50 and an XP
before this game flacco was so much better than hurts its not even funny and neither have a future so why if you are the eagles wouldnt flacco start the opener
Other than Haskins and the WR from Hawaii on Pittsburgh I recognize one other player out there, Zech McPhearson.

this is art
I thought Art died years ago.
That was the other dude. Forgot his name.
Nick Mullens is dead too. Brutal picks
10 first downs all passing no rushing
0/8 on third down
Gave up 400 yards
Gave up 11/17 on third down
stop trolling
Not me.
my pillow guy election rigging proof >>> preseason stats
Preseason football never got anyone shot in the face. At least not this year, anyway.
Thank God there are only 3 exhibition games now.
So Quez Watkins huh.
How long until Reagor starts getting booooo'd. I'm gonna say by week 4.
This team will win no more than 5 games this year.

I mean, while you're not technically wrong-- they still looked better than most would have expected at this point.

Hope I'm wrong but he might be this years TC only star. The Na Brown/Hank Baskett award
quez has at least done some shtein in the regular season

The Fulgham/Watkins tandem is going to take the NFL by surprise as the Eagles surge to an 8-9 record and first place in the NFC East.
live on NFLN tonite
Football follies 2021.
I can't say I'm pleased with what I'm briefly glancing at here.
I don't think they realize that tanking in the preseason doesn't help your draft position
By my count that's three passes to Smith and three drops.
They weren't great but they were in the neighborhood.
Amazing.
Whew. That's better. Lol.
I don't care that hurts didn't play but why warm him up

going to have a lot of shady injury stories this year with the new rules.
Found the highlight reel for the game.

Mullens is no shtein the worst qb I've ever seen in an nfl uniform. He makes Mike McMahon look like Joe Montana.
i had plans to go out with some perky titted irish girl and said whatever who cares its preseason
good job by me
lol @ whoever bought my tickets for this
You motorboat them perky titties or nah
her dad has cancer so shes gotta deal with that...im going away on sunday for a week so i dont know
maybe next week but between then and now some other dude is gonna probably rail her
anyway is jalen hurts have mud butt
I think they're going to be putrid but not because the backups and camp bodies played like ass in a preseason game. Glad there's only three of these this season.

haha same. I couldn't even give them away for free so posted on Ticketmaster. someone bought them for $25 each at 7:25. assuming it was someone already in the parking lot or something.
Kempski projects the 53 after two preseason games:
Quarterback (2): Jalen Hurts, Joe Flacco
Cuts (1): Nick Mullens
You guys have seen Mullens play, right? I think the Eagles add a quarterback during waivers, and Mullens isn't even on the practice squad.
Running back (4): Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Kenny Gainwell, Jordan Howard
Cuts (2): Jason Huntley, Elijah Holyfield
I believe the Eagles would really like to keep Huntley, however, they can probably safely get him through waivers and then stash him on the practice squad. Why?
1. When the Eagles claimed him last year at 53-man cutdowns, they were near the end of the waiver order, which means that there wasn't a lot of interest in him then, so why would there be more interest in him now after not having done anything during the regular season last year?
2. In the first preseason game, he played 10 snaps. He had four carries for 15 yards. He also had one catch on three targets for four yards, and a drop. He did have a nice kick return, but that's not likely to have wowed anyone. He didn't play in preseason game No. 2.
So they'll roll the dice there a bit, I think, because it's just going to be too hard to keep five running backs.
Wide receiver (6): DeVonta Smith, Jalen Reagor, Travis Fulgham, Quez Watkins, Greg Ward, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside
Cuts (4): John Hightower, Jhamon Ausbon, Marken Michel, Andre Patton, Hakeem Butler
The hardest player for me to decide on is Arcega-Whiteside. If I'm the GM... 👋. But I'm not. The real GM picked him in the second round in the 2019 draft, and has a history of overrating homegrown players.
And then there's Fulgham, who has done nothing in camp to prove that he should be on the team, much less an important part of the receiving corps. I still believe he'll stick on the final 53, but it's not the certainty it seemed to be a few weeks ago.
Tight end (2): Dallas Goedert, Tyree Jackson
Temporary cuts (1): Richard Rodgers
Cuts (2): Jason Croom, Jack Stoll
Traded (1): Zach Ertz
To begin, I'm still hanging onto the belief that the team will trade Ertz, because, again, there's no good reason to keep him on the roster this season at $8.25 million. Then again, it made no sense whatsoever to have an injured, washed, and controversy-stirring Alshon Jeffery occupy a roster spot for 10 weeks last year when he could have been on the PUP list, so who knows? Anyway, ideally the theoretical Ertz trade would occur before 53-man cutdowns, so I'll hold true to my belief that they'll get it done before then.
Losing Jackson for 8-10 weeks with a broken bone in his back makes the rest of this positional group a tougher one to figure out. The Eagles have three options with Jackson.
1. They can put him on injured reserve before cutdowns, which would end his season immediately. They would save a roster spot, and Jackson would be back with the team in 2022.
2. They can keep him on the roster through cutdowns, and he would count initially as one of the 53 roster spots. They could later place him on short term IR, where he would be required to stay for at least three weeks.
3. They can cut him, hope he makes it through waivers, and add him to the practice squad.
In my opinion, you can go ahead and eliminate option No. 3. That's not happening. Jackson showed too much this summer to expose him to the rest of the league. He is unquestionably a player you want to develop.
There's logic to going with option 1, however, once he goes on season-ending IR, he can no longer practice with the team, and obviously, he's not playing in any games. My feeling is that Jackson has shown enough (more so than your garden variety intriguing prospect) to want to keep him practicing with the team all year, particularly because he's learning a new position, and I think he could be good enough already to eventually get into games this season. Continuing to allow him to progress in-season — especially if he can get real-game action under his belt — is worth more to me in this case than whatever other borderline roster guy you'd get to keep at initial cutdowns instead.
The team could also temporarily cut Rodgers, a vested veteran who would not be subjected to waivers, and then sign him back to the team whenever Jackson goes on short-term IR.
The debate of what they should do aside, I don't think the team would have given us a timeframe for Jackson's recovery if they intended to put him on season-ending IR.
Offensive line (9): Jordan Mailata, Isaac Seumalo, Jason Kelce, Brandon Brooks, Lane Johnson, Jack Driscoll, Nate Herbig, Sua Opeta, Brett Toth
Cuts (5): Le'Raven Clark, Matt Pryor, Kayode Awosika, Ross Pierschbacher, Harry Crider
PUP (1): Landon Dickerson
Trade: Andre Dillard
Let's go bullet points here:
• To begin, I would trade Dillard for literally anything. Dillard for a 7? Thank you, done. Oh, you'd prefer Dillard plus a 7 for a 6? Sure, let's do it. Oh, you're driving a hard bargain, and you want to do a conditional 7, that I only get if he plays X number of snaps? Well, I don't like that, sir/ma'am, but, fine, I guess. Just take him.
But to be clear, I would only trade him. I would not cut him. If the Eagles trade him, they would not be responsible for his $3,801,730 in guaranteed salary the next two seasons. If they cut him, they would.
That may seem like a "hot take" to some, but honestly, I think he's been one of the worst players on the 90-man roster this summer. Like, if I were an alien from another planet that also had football, and I got dropped off by my spaceship at the NovaCare Complex with a chance to observe practices having no idea of the histories of any of these players, I would think Dillard was some camp body from Bowling Green with no chance of making the roster. He's been that bad. Just take whatever you can get, and move on. And I do think they're more than willing to listen to offers for Dillard.
But would they take something close to the meager offers laid out above? Eh, probably not, because again, they wildly overrate their own players' worth. Still, I just can't get myself to include him in my 53-man projection.
Side note: If you plan on inquiring how I would know anything about Bowling Green in my alien scenario, but I would have no idea about professional players, well you got me there, jerk.
• As for Dickerson, the Eagles have enough depth along their offensive line that they should have no reason to rush him back to the lineup before he's truly 100 percent ready.
• I think Awosika is going to be a high-priority practice squad player.
• I really have no idea what to think of Clark, after he was surprisingly activated from the PUP list. If the team trades Dillard, I think he'll compete with Toth for the last OL spot, which would essentially be the backup LT (but also the ability to play elsewhere).
Defensive line (9): Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox, Javon Hargrave, Derek Barnett, Josh Sweat, Ryan Kerrigan, Milton Williams, Hassan Ridgeway, T.Y. McGill
Cuts (6): Tarron Jackson, Marlon Tuipulotu, Joe Ostman, Raequan Williams, JaQuan Bailey, Matt Leo
Jackson had a decent start to camp, but has cooled off, while Tuipulotu had an awful game last Thursday night in which he got bullied by Steelers OL reserves. McGill deserves a roster spot with the way he has played this summer.
Linebacker (8 ): Eric Wilson, Alex Singleton, T.J. Edwards, Shaun Bradley, Patrick Johnson, Genard Avery, Davion Taylor, JaCoby Stevens
Cuts (1): Rashad Smith
Eight would be a hell of a lot of linebackers, but keep in mind that Johnson and Avery will be playing the "Anthony Barr role."
If the Eagles were to make use of a phony IR injury, I think the linebacker position would make some sense, with Taylor and Stevens being the best candidates for that.
Trust me, it hurts me more than you to keep eight linebackers, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Cornerback (5): Darius Slay, Steve Nelson, Avonte Maddox, Zech McPhearson, Craig James
Cuts (4): Josiah Scott, Michael Jacquet, Kevon Seymour, Lavert Hill
Scott was the toughest cut to make here, but he's a slot corner only in a defense that values versatility. He's a good candidate for the practice squad.
Safety (5): Anthony Harris, Rodney McLeod, K'Von Wallace, Marcus Epps, Elijah Riley
Cuts (3): Andrew Adams, Grayland Arnold, Blake Countess
Riley has been a core special teamer throughout camp, and he was a rare positive standout on the Eagles' third-team defense against the Steelers.
Specialists (3): Jake Elliott, Arryn Siposs, Rick Lovato
All of the Eagles' specialists are running unopposed, and have played well enough.
I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to end up with Dillard, JJAW, AND Ertz all still on the team.
I would take Hightower over JJAW and I think Hightower is a total bum.

Just got my daughters softball schedule...2nd game is 2-4 on September 12th. I asked her coach if that was a joke. They also have practice 8-10pm on school nights. I'd bitch more but their coaches are really good.
Too funny! I remember receiving son's Club soccer and NJB basketball schedules! They would come out, games on Sundays, gym or field time on Monday afternoons. Now that I'm coaching high school soccer, Coach Don ain't doing shtein on Sunday's in the fall. Can't even begin to tell you how many big college football games Ive missed since 2013.
Don I haven't even gotten her soccer schedule yet so shteins only gonna get worse

Exactly...first 3 sundays too. fargers. We only live 10 minutes from the field so week one she has to be there at 1 and game ends at 4. I'm dropping her off...watching the birds then picking her up. I take her and go to everything she does so she was fine with it. This is only her second season and judging by the other girls on the team last night she's not going to start. I'm just happy she likes being active and has a great attitude and is willing to learn.
