Put it all the turnover on the Eagles offensive line together and you have the foundation that built their most successful decade, bulldozed in a cloud of dust.

They like Kendall. Jurgens destroyed his back to win the Super Bowl. The long-term outlook there must not be good.

I looked up this stat because the film shows that Jalen consistently started with Wicks on his progressions Sunday even though he was usually plastered by Trent McDuffie--then play was dead before he could progress to backside. Including the biggest play of the game: 4th & goal.

I think some people are being a bit hyperbolic about where Cam Jurgens is physically. He has looked awful at left guard, where he had never played. He had one game at center this season. He took a couple of early penalties, after which he played pretty well. Then they moved him.

Ian Rapoport reported that Cam Jurgens has passed his Ravens physical. Would love to know how this jibes with Jurgens self-reporting concussion symptoms earlier this week. 🤔

It's a good value trade by Howie and likely the right thing to do for the future of the organization. It's just that coming right on the heels of Lane Johnson's retirement, it pretty clearly sends the message that they're writing off this season and that's a bummer as a fan.

Trading AJ Brown for future picks. Trading Cam Jurgens for future picks. Howie Roseman really seems to be telling the 2026 Eagles to go bleep themselves. Wonder how the players and coaches feel about that focus?

After what Landon Dickerson said this week, second-guessing the move of Cam Jurgens to left guard, I kinda thought something was off. The OL guys are tight. Dickerson wouldn’t say that unless Jurgens really wasn’t on board with being moved. Now, Jurgens has been traded for picks.

Actually impressed by Nick Sirianni’s rally-around-the-flag messaging today. I’m so used to listening to him talk around things, using five paragraphs of words to say nothing, that when he seemed to speak from the heart toward the end of his presser, I was startled.

Of course, the Eagles could decide, this week or at any point going forward, that Bell isn’t quite ready. They still have Fred Johnson, who should be close to being healthy again. Not a path that leads anywhere, though.

When Lane Johnson said this was going to be his last year, I wondered … some guys can do it that way, but in football especially, I’ve heard the adage that if you’re thinking about retirement, you’re retired. It demands a lot.

The Eagles’ injury situation is so extreme, even if Lane Johnson and Zack Baun are back next week, I would think they might still have to make roster moves. Even if they aren’t sure if any of the injuries is going to require a four-week absence.

This sounds silly but technically, it’s still a two-score Chiefs lead and they have left a decent amount of time for the Raiders. Are the Raiders gonna score two TDs and a two-point conversion in three minutes? Almost certainly not, but it’s barely possible.

Probably not the first to note this, but the Eagles’ decision to go for it at the 2 rather than kick the FG ultimately didn’t matter. Rams scored 2 TDs, would’ve won anyway. And Rams would have had a much shorter field after kickoff, to drive for the first of the two TDs.
