[quote=Chief X_Phackter;1347241]I was pointing out the strategy, not whether the particular picks will pan out, which we may not know for some time.[/quote]

Sorry, my point got lost in there. Its not the strategy itself, as much as the ability of this staff to pick effectively. I don't think they did and the glaring holes still there seem to back that up.

I lost the post-game thread war so badly, my thread got deleted. skinsfaninok is Cox and I'm Cosmi.

Normally, I hate playing on Thursdays, but I think a short turn around will be nice here. Get this nasty taste out of our mouths asap.

[QUOTE=punch it in;1347245]Completely ignored LB and those Oline picks were reaches. Especially Daniels. The Martin pick was a reach too. Bottom line is we need a GM.[/QUOTE]

LB was "filled" in free agency... only so many draft picks. Barton wouldn't have been my choice, but the position was addressed as part of the overall strategy.

Anyway, like I said, there are many ways to pick apart the actual decisions, but we may not know for some time if those decisions (specific players) were "correct", and we'll never know if the players we didn't pick would have worked out.

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1347248]Normally, I hate playing on Thursdays, but I think a short turn around will be nice here. Get this nasty taste out of our mouths asap.[/quote]Agree. We need a victory asap. The Bears are coming into town in rough shape without Chase Claypool who has been told to remain away from the team. They are a very desperate team. Absolutely must win this game.

The secondary is better, and the o-line is better. Neither are all world, but they are better, and likely will continue to get better as they play more together.

LB group is average at best, and probably about the same as last year. Maybe at some point Cox will be ready and make an impact this year. If not, we'll all be hoping for a better solution this offseason (again).

Re: Eagles Postgame
 

Cody Barton has been fucking trash. I can’t believe how JDR and Ron have handled that position here

There wasn’t a LB available in the second where we took Mathis or Martin this year or last? Jfc

NFL network is replaying the game Wednesday at 8pm EST.

Re: Eagles Postgame
 

One thing people having been talking about is our shitty special teams, especially punt returns. Time to say goodbye to Crowder and promote Kazmeir Allen.

Barton is always late to the party. He has the athleticism. He's just slow to process.

Yeah, I don’t know what the hell Crowder was thinking. I would give a rookie a pass on this but Crowder is a vet and he knows the rules.

Re: Eagles Postgame
 

He knows the rules. Split second decision though. He probably thought he couldn't get a return initially, waved his hand, then was like Oh shit there's room to run...and did.

At least it's no longer a penalty.

It isn’t? Im just googling it because I wasn’t aware of that rule change but i see that it still is? [emoji2371]

One other thing unrelated and not directed at just you Chief. Im not saying I would have gone for two at the end because if we didn’t get it we would kill Ron also BUT im not buying the reason that they were gassed. It was like a 90 second drive and it is one play. If the offense is gassed to the point that one play is too much does it make sense to play for OT??
