I'll be there - Already got my tickets. Hoping Wentz is playing by then.

Griff · 09-03-2016, 10:06 AM

How many years did you guys misuse Bradford before the trade?

lumberjim · 09-03-2016, 12:19 PM

Sammy Sleeves is a fraud. Refuses to throw the long ball.... Gets that deer in headlights look on his face.... He won't be missed

Never saw the team truly throw a season before, so this is a weird feeling. OTOH 1st and 4th round picks is an amazing value for someone you hope won't play after this season.

lumberjim · 09-04-2016, 09:58 AM

Never seen it before? This is so reminiscent of Donovans arrival, it's like it's scripted.

classicman · 09-04-2016, 10:42 AM

The Vikings is/are the best team he will have ever played for. This may be a perfect fit for him. If he and AP can stay healthy, they are gonna be a force. We'll see. As an Eagles fan, I'm really happy. He was nothing more than a stopgap here anyway. His value was at its peak and we got more than anyone could have expected for him.
As for the deal itself, this deal fell into the Eagles laps. The Eagles were going to win 5-6 games this year with or without Bradford. So whats the loss? The Eagles get a 1 & a 4 for a guy who has no heart whatsoever and was never well liked by his teammates. This was a fantastic, albeit opportunistic, move.
And this ... Reports are leaking out that the Eagles also will start Wentz game 1. Wow, how fast everything just changed.

Undertoad · 09-05-2016, 10:53 AM

Ah now it's not like Donovan's first year... In 1999 Donovan waited until week 9 to start. they are throwing the kid in there, he starts game one, they just announced.

at least it will be interesting

maybe i will keep agholor just in case

classicman · 09-05-2016, 12:17 PM

I'm excited... This is more like Troy Aikman's first year where he started game 1 and subsequently went 1-15.

*side note* I just got tickets to the Eagles/Vikings game - the return of Sammy Sleeves. Ha!!!!

lumberjim · 09-05-2016, 02:24 PM

How many snaps has Wentz taken? How did he look? I haven't seen him throw the ball yet

Undertoad · 09-05-2016, 02:43 PM

Played like a half of preseason game one before taking a hit and cracking two ribs.

He looked good out there, moved around and such, avoided a loss or two... looked "intelligent", but it was preseason and I am preseason-agnostic. My personal belief is that preseason is almost useless as an indicator of how real games are going to go. Kid will need reps to figure out this thing...

lumberjim · 09-05-2016, 04:23 PM

Dunno if this link will work....

My dad usually makes these private...

Remember a couple years ago when my uncle died? He was the straw that stirred the drink whenever we got together. Still miss him. This made me get something in my eye.

Hmmm. Red and black bike. I told my son I was going to paint my tins this winter fire engine red. He said the blue and silver are the colors of the Carolina Panthers. What a quandary.

What UT said. We'll see. We have no idea what we've got. From having lunch with hm one day, he was thoughtful and seemed pretty sharp & quick-witted. Very likeable and mature young man.

lumberjim · 09-05-2016, 08:53 PM

I think that was 1988. My dad was 47. His softail was an 87. Dunno what year Biffs fat boy was.

Ok, I watched the Tampa game on nfl game pass. And Wentz was not good. 4 or 5 passes sailed on him, he threw one in the dirt, and he took a hit that he shouldn't have taken. Good luck with him. Not your biggest problem in any case.

Seemed like the biggest issue is that the perrennialy lack luster receiving corps couldn't get open. And they dropped a few to boot. Not going to be a fun year in Philly.
