machine gun kelly Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Pat Kirwan mentioned this week both Foles and Wentz is a total of $24 mil so for the Eagles it would be great to keep him, but he can get a five year deal which is really 3 somewhere else, and probably get $55-60 mil guaranteed with. Another team. i would leave if I were him. There are more than enough teams who need a QB. HE’ll get a nice deal somewhere. Maybe Jax or Miami. Those teams are going to move on from their starters. Flacco I bet goes to the Jags. Maybe the Redskins. Lastly, the Broncos. We’ll see. I’m happy for him given his faith. He is a very good role model as well as clutch in the best games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I don't know what y'all want out of Nick Foles. He's already been a superb NFL story at worst going down with the likes of Doug Williams and Hostetler. He's Frank Reich with more success, Bizarre Fitzpatrick (clutch) on better teams. He'll go somewhere and be a middling starter or be the league's most coveted backup. He's always been inconsistent but seems to come up large when he's in a knockout game more often than not. Pretty cool story. Pretty good QB if his career were to end now. And he's got magic baby! Big **** Nick. That's where the magic lies.

dave mcbride Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think the Eagles would prbably have won that game if Jeffrey hadn’t blown it. They had the look of a team that was going to score on that drive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured they had nothing to lose by waiting, as every second preserved would be handed to Drew Brees when they scored. From that spot on the field they’d run out of downs before they ran out of time. Could have happened after the 2 minute warning Insuppose, but it just seemed hurried and the play wouldn’t have gained a first down much less produced a score. Very odd choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This will be a huge storyline in the offseason, but really, it’s all a waste. the way it should have gone, is Foles going on another magic run and winning another Superbowl then retiring to pursue his pastoral dreams. That’s a true Hollywood tale, if ever there were one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they thought they had a can't miss play given the NO personnel on the field at that moment and that getting it off and implementing it was a sure thing, partly because NO wasn't switching up and expected Philly to take it to the two-minute warning. As it happened, it was an easy throw and catch that should have pucked up 10+ yards. Edited January 14, 2019 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, Jeffery has to make that catch. He had both hand on it, but it went through. Game over. Lattimore ends up being a hero, but he just caught the Jeffery muff of the catch.
