E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES! Birds - Vikings game thread

Can we tap the brakes a couple of times? It wasn't long ago that Carson Wentz took the league by storm and then completely fell off a cliff. Two games have been highly encouraging, but it doesn't constitute a career.

The Eagles have the look of a potential contender this year. Let's see if they can sustain the momentum and whether Hurts can continue to mesh with his highly talented surrounding cast. The next few games are very winnable. How great would it be to start 5-0 and snowball momentum into the season?

Are you EVER happy in life? Just asking. . .

I’m very happy after last night, thank you. So you agree that Hurts is the second coming and there’s no need for moderation of expectations?

Great. I’ll book my Super Bowl travel now.

Like ineligible receiver downfield?

The schedule is very favorable for the Eagles as well. F' it. I'm calling super bowl right now!

I told someone after next week, no room on the band wagon

I'm not going too crazy after two games, but Hurts looks really good. Not going to say he is definitely the future, but it certainly looks like the potential is there. Great play calling too.

Of course caution but how hard did he work the past 6 months he’s WAY better
IMO if they sign him for big money, the eagles have a 3 year window before they have to sell off othe good players to pay his salary. If you have a good GM (I’m pro Howie) the good rookie QB on the cheap contract surrounded by talent (11 and 6) is an excellent strategy

I've been a fan of that strategy. You either need a high end franchise QB, or a solid guy on a rookie deal that you can build around.
Anything between is hard to win a SB.
And we'll be adding 2 more 1st round picks next season!

[Nohow]

Yeah, he’s a combination of Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. The greatest QB of all time.
lol
