Re: NFCC POSTGAME

Where to start?

Game thoughts - every single time we got it within one score someone on our team fumbled. You can't win regular games like that, let alone the NFCCG. Eagles hit all of our weak spots and the turnovers put it out of reach. Congrats to them. We knew what our weaknesses were going into it and that hasn't changed. This team still needs work.

Season thoughts - there were so many highlights this year it's hard to name them all. First time in 20+ years watching I felt like this our staff milked every ounce of talent out of the entire roster. Yeah we didn't win them all but we learned what this team is capable of. And we finally solved the most important position on the roster.

Thank you to DQ, AP, and everyone else who contributed to our first 12 win team since '91. It means a lot to those of us who watched our entire lives without seeing a team capable of beating the best. Thank you for putting a smackdown on the #1 seed Lions. Thank you for all the last second wins, and for not giving up when we lost 3 in a row.

I think the NFCCG was a good barometer of how far we have come, and how far we have to go. This roster still needs a lot of work, but I have full faith in AP/DQ/etc to keep building on this year.

And finally, I've said enough complimentary things about the Eagles. I'd rather watch Mahomes win 5 consecutive titles than to see the Eagles win another one. I hope they get humbled in two weeks.

The one thing the Eagles do that I hope we copy this offseason - they have a good eye for unwanted good players on other teams. Zach Baun was a first team all pro and the Saints let him walk in FA last year. AJ Brown was discarded by the Titans and has kept up his stud WR status with the Eagles. Mekhi Becton was discarded by the Jets and solidified one of the tackle spots for the Eagles. It's gonna take too long to build this roster exclusively through the draft, I hope AP can find some hidden gems on other rosters that are available for the right price because our contending window is now open with JD at the helm.
