It’s not fair for San Fran

Forgive me if I don't feel sorry for a team that has 5 trophies.

Now Johnson is out (concussion protocol)
Purdy back in with CMC as emergency QB.
Say what you want about Cousins (note, I am not his greatest fan) but this makes you appreciate his durability even more.
Poor Niners

The SF #24 was pushed into the kicker!!!!!!

Another point that should not be lost in all this…. Eagles GM Howie Roseman is really good. Gotta give it to him. He fired a superbowl winning coach replaces him with a yound and unproven coach who gets his team to the superbowl two years later. And then the dline? Good grief!

Is that the same guy that drafted Reagor over Jefferson?

I guess the Cousins durability thing would be great if he were still playing! On the other hand, I guess a trade to SF could be realistic!

Would have liked to have seen this matchup with Jimmy G. at QB. 50/50 tossup then IMO.

The same Howie Roseman who builds championship calibre defenses that hold the Vikings to 7 points in each run whether with Jefferson or not. Keep playing chess and “winning” the draft. Howe will be playing checkers, winning NFC championships and raising superbowl banners. Lets celebrate drafting Jefferson

I'm not celebrating anything,   just saying Howie isn't beyond reproach,  pretty sure I can find plenty of warts on his resume.

Yes, same guy who drafted Andre Dillard in the 1st round the year before, both epic busts. Kinda makes you think twice about grading a draft before letting some time pass...

The NFL allows intelligent teams to reinvent themselves on the fly. The Eagles might be the smartest team in football.Remember, when the Wilfs made their first coaching hire, they chose Brad Childress, in part because he had coached in the Eagles organization, which was at the time considered one of the NFL's model franchises.
The Eagles are even more impressive now. They are proof that in the NFL, rebuilding is measured by a stopwatch, not a sundial.
Imagine if, two years ago, someone had told you that Nick Sirianni was going to take the Eagles to the Super Bowl with Jalen Hurts as his quarterback. You might have asked them to get checked out in the blue tent.
The Eagles won their Super Bowl at U.S. Bank Stadium with second-year head coach Doug Pederson; backup quarterback Nick Foles having taken over for the injured Carson Wentz; and with skill-position players named Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, LeGarrette Blount and Zach Ertz.
This season's NFC champ features four starters who are holdovers from the team that won at U.S. Bank Stadium — offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Jason Kelce and defensive linemen Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox.
They ditched Wentz, who had been on track to win the MVP award in 2017 before he was injured, and invested in Hurts, a second-round draft pick who had lost his starting job at Alabama and was unproven as a passer.
Pederson won the Super Bowl in his second year as Eagles head coach. He was replaced with Sirianni, a seemingly anonymous offensive assistant with the Colts. Sirianni is taking the Eagles to the Super Bowl in his second season as head coach.
A year ago, Hurts was an impressive runner who struggled to pass against better defenses. This year, he was efficient as a runner and passer and might have been the front-runner for NFL MVP if he had remained healthy all season.
Other than the four remaining starters, there has been one constant for the Eagles over the past five years — General Manager Howie Roseman.
He's the most valuable member of the franchise, and proof that even the best make mistakes — and that the best can recover from them.
Roseman chose Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson in the 2021 draft. He spent the second pick in the 2016 draft on Wentz.
Either is the kind of mistake that can cost you your job, but Roseman has built such strong rosters that he was able to win one title with Wentz's journeyman backup, and might win another with a second-round pick who not long ago was considered, at best, a developing passer.
The Vikings might drool over Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, but Roseman is proof that winning in the NFL is about more than star quarterbacks.
While Bill Belichick has won nothing without Tom Brady as his quarterback, Roseman built a team that beat Brady in the Super Bowl with a backup quarterback.
Now Roseman has a chance to win two Super Bowls, five years apart, with a new head coach, coordinators, quarterbacks, skill-position players, linebackers and secondary.
Virtually everyone who visits Philadelphia for a sporting event pays homage to the Rocky statue in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Spoiler alert: Rocky was a fictional character. His victories were the product of scriptwriters.
In Philly these days, Roseman is the scriptwriter. His statue should stand next to Rocky's. And it should be bigger.
