Want a Dark Horse QB candidate? See if the Eagles will part with Tanner McKee. 25 years old, 6'6" 231 pounds and some local Eagles fans think he would fit the Eagles offense better than Hurts and are actually calling for him to start. I don't agree with all that but he could be a fallback option if we can't land our guy in the draft.

That would be a nice play after signing Halaby.

It's hard to believe with how bad we've been, we're still out of drafting a top 2 QB next year without giving up a lot. Hard to believe there are 5 worse teams.

Playing in a division where three teams made the playoffs last season and could happen again this season certainly isn’t helping the cause when it comes to strength of schedule.

[Cruisin with Tooz]

Spytec’s free agency moves (or lack thereof) clearly pointed towards a rebuilding year. I don’t understand how Pete wouldn’t have known this was the team’s direction. I just think he overestimated his ability to turn things around. Like adding Smith and injecting his rah-rah was going to turn the team into the Seahawks. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pete steps down at the end of the season.

And give up the $$$. Dont hold your breath.

There is still time. 4 of those teams also have 2 wins and TEN has 1 win but a stronger SOS, so if they win a game we leapfrog them. If we lose out we automatically are ahead of CLE and NYG. TEN has CLE and NO. NYJ have TEN and MIA. NO has ATLx2, NYJ and CLE.

We definitely need to lose this game against the Browns. It's huge for us. Since i dont see the Titans winning another game, we also want them to lose out. At least it gives us a CHANCE to trade up to #1 with them and get our QB (whoever that may be). Ha e to figure the Jets, Saints and Browns will take a QB if they get in the top 2. Although the Saints are a wildcard.

We play the Browns next week and it's difficult to see how we lose to them, especially if Sanders starts at QB. 10 points might win that game for us. We also play the Giants which at this point seems like a toss up.

The Browns have arguably the best defense in the NFL featuring a top 3 DL in all of football, a defense that had Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry clamped. If not for Sanders, the Browns beat the Ravens.

The Raiders couldn't do anything to the Cowboys defense; you think they'll do anything to the Browns? Jeanty won't get a yard, we're cooked.

Raider's best chance is against the Giants without Dart, but I doubt we win that game. Raiders will most likely end the season with 3 or less wins and a top 5 pick.

I'd rather have Hendon Hooker, but that's a good suggestion.

Allegedly Patriot West was high on him. So i don’t trust him

[WolfRaider]

Yeah. That's looking like a win for us. But Cleveland's D is pretty good. We eke out a win 9-3

We’ll get a pick 6 or something too!

I’ll put this here. If this tank continues this is my top guy. Smart. Not sure exactly which play he is describing but there’s processing here.

It’s Mendoza breaking down a play. Forgot to put that part

Yes. He's my 1st, Ty is my 2nd. I'd be good with either. It's them or bust for me.

Putnam and Meredith pissing all over themselves watching game film.

[Reno Hightower]

I don't believe this team will need to deliberately tank with this offensive line. I just hope Jeanty can make it through the rest of the season injury free.

One step closer to the 3rd overall pick...

I haven’t watched every game, but I’m just blown away that we’re not number one right now, given what I’ve seen. Just flabbergasted.

Drake Maye had his worst game of the year against us. That's pretty much what it comes down to. We deserve to be the #2 overall pick.
