I have a new level of respect for Wentz. As a Giants fan, I hope Wentz gets the 1st championship trophy for Dutch Destroyer. RIP Little guy.

Very very touching story.

The Eagles reddit got ahold of the story and are planning to buy similar bracelets once they are available to raise funds for cancer research

Watched this on the train ride back to NYC yesterday, had to pause it multiple times to not break down into tears.

Just something about this year, throw that in the mix, it's our year.

**theACEofSPADES** · 10-23-2017, 02:55 PM

Anyone see #5 on ESPN this morning? Seemed kind of annoyed at everyone slobbering over Wentz. In 1.5 years, Wentz has gotten more love from Philly than McNabb did his whole career. Kind of feel bad for him

Also, this is what I was talking about earlier when I said media is all over the Eagles now. A couple weeks ago we weren't even a topic of discussion and this morning it was the first topic on First Take

McNabb is one of the most underrated and underappreciated QBs of all time. If you look at his resume at face value it's very good. If you take into consideration the talent he was surrounded with it should be HOF worthy. While I think his critique of Wentz is both unfair and incorrect, it must be tough to see this 2nd year QB getting love that McNabb never got in a career in Philly.

I'm super excited about Wentz, but anyone who says he's already better than McNabb (there are those) can fuk off. Same people who think Andy Reid is a bad coach.

**Critter5592** · 10-23-2017, 06:59 PM

refs make NFL so damn hard to watch some times.

**BenadrylBandit** · 10-23-2017, 07:03 PM

Bounced back from rough start. Looking good.

**Slamt** · 10-23-2017, 07:08 PM

I loved McNabb when he was the QB, my favorite player, but it seems like he's just an *******. Driving around drunk, doing stupid chit, disappointing really.

Sure he did get a lot of bull**** for no reason from the fans early in his career, but he's just always salty AF when the Eagles are brought up.

**antman12** · 10-23-2017, 07:40 PM

Not to go too far or speculate anything, but Thank you for a great career Jason Peters.

2 weeks ago

"Carson better play well on prime time to prove he can start in this league"

7 pass TDs 1 int 490 pass yards and 88 rush yards later

"This guy is the MVP of the league right now"

I watched everyone of his college games and saw everyone of his home games live. His deceiving agility was always amazing for his size. This Houdini chit he started doing in the NFL is mind blowing.

**theACEofSPADES** · 10-23-2017, 09:05 PM

Trap game this Sunday against winless 9ers. Best record versus worst record, easy to overlook

True, 49ers especially the young guys trying to prove themselves have absolutely nothing to lose

I seriously hope they jump out to a big lead early on have the option to start sitting starters.

**IH8RICE** · 10-24-2017, 03:17 AM

He gave the game ball to the Dutch destroyers family after the game. Awesome!

**dawktwenty** · 10-24-2017, 07:11 AM

Carson Wentz...

Had a got dang lump in my throat watching it before the game yesterday.

Crazy how different the kid looked prior to falling to cancer, didn't even have the strength to muster up a smile.

Fuk cancer.

**iloverat** · 10-24-2017, 07:24 AM

I've got to admit, I had big doubts coming into this year. Felt like our division was super strong and Wentz would struggle. So happy to be wrong. I think we have a real shot at a first round bye and at that point we are two strong games away from a superbowl. We really need to take care of business in these next two games at home to get to the bye at 8-1.

Remaining schedule

vs 49ers
vs broncos
bye
@cowboys
vs bears
@seahawks
@rams
@giants
vs raiders
vs cowboys

I think our schedule is not easy but we don't have any games I think we don't have a chance in.

Gotta think we beat giants, 49ers, bears to get 9 wins

broncos cowboys raiders - home games - hopefully 2-1 at least

@hawks, @cowboys, @ rams - Our hardest games - hope to take 1 or 2 of these

think 11-5 - 14-2 is where we end up.

What do you guys think about the rest of our schedule?

We have the easiest remaining schedule in the league I believe. That Rams game will be huge, media will be all over Wentz/Goff. Kind of sucks we have to play at Seattle and then at LA in back to back weeks. I imagine we'll stay on the west coast for those two weeks

Feels like we play at Seattle almost every season, and always near the end of the year when the Seahawks hit their stride.

Hicks and Peters out for season

Yeah. That really blows. If someone asked me if I could chose losing the game last night or Peters for the season, it'd be an easy decision..I'd take the L

Definitely sucks, but it's not the end of the world like it would've been in seasons past. The offense didn't seem to miss a beat after Peters went down, and after some practices together I think the line can sustain it's level of play. Plus Wentz's mobility helps.

Hicks going down might be worse because the backups clearly struggled in coverage. After Kendricks and Bradham, they're really suspect at LB, hopefully Howie can swing a value trade.

**dawktwenty** · 10-24-2017, 09:47 AM

Expensive win for sure.

**ecs33** · 10-24-2017, 10:12 AM

Ya, that Peters injury sucks. Did anyone see that play where Wentz did his houdini act and escaped a sack for 17 yards? Big V got blown up and fell on his ass on that play, but it was 3 on 2. Could probably see the impact of losing Peters just on that play.

Was that just bad play or would anyone in that position have been at a disadvantage?
