Foles, Done deal

I'm not saying BB was unlikeable, but he did have a little bit of a carefree, college frat guy mentality, and it runned some teammates the wrong way. You won't have that problem with Nick.

I actually like Bortles more because of all of the completely unsubstantiated rumors that he had a few too many on occasion.

Same here.  These guys aren't asked to live a monastic lifestyle, and nobody ever indicated Bortles wasn't putting in the work.  The guy was usually the first one in the stadium, and the last one out according to his coaches.  Bortles certainly wasn't disliked in the locker room.  I know there were guys who got frustrated with the production, but overall, his locker room was behind him.  It is true that Foles was loved in Philly's locker room, and by Philly fans, and hopefully that will develop here as well.

Yea.... No.

The players on this team loved Blake and that was pretty evident during the 2017 run.

Is there any Wizdum in having two teams?

Is Wizdum a southern saying for wisdom ? On the subject of having two teams Eagles will be my onl NFC team but having a favorite in the NFC would only be an issue when playing against each other in the playoffs of course I'll be going with the Eagles NFC and now the Jaguars in the AFC should they play against each other your guess which one I'll be picking.

A fan of two teams? We had a poster like that before. She was banned.

I’m starting to think “Eagles” is a metaphor for “Packers”.

W/an healthy OL and a few additional key pieces to the puzzle (TE, RB, DL) from within the draft, our team will seriously be competitive to say the least.

  Now as we turn to our next phase of retooling, I'll simply sit back and hopefully marvel at the continued decisions that the front office makes to further strengthen our team. I have an wish list and I certainly know that their list is more thought of than mine. We all know that our window of opportunity is slowly closing so we, I mean they, the front office knows the importance of the selection process of this 2019 NFL Draft and UDFA.

Welcome to The Bank NF7.

Duuuuuuuuvaaaaaaalll.

I hope the NF at the bank doesn't stand for "non sufficient funds"..................and we get burned

That would be "Insufficient Funds" NCJag. (IF)

Agreed. We are having this discussion on the Eagles message board at the moment. Being a fan of two teams is fugazzi.

I've tried to fan for two teams.

Always just end up being a casual follower of the second team, rooting them on occasionally.
Nothing wrong with that in my book.
Hometown allegiance or prior allegiance (if you've no hometown team) should take precedent.

Always a Jags fan but I definitely keep my eye on a few teams throughout the year. Mainly because of fantasy football.

I was very invested in the Chiefs because of Mahomes, Hunt/Williams and Tyreek.

I can not wait to watch Baker and OBJ play together.

Non sufficient funds is the term used in the financial industry abbreviated NSF. Luckily, Foles' middle name is Edward.

Both can be used. Just depends how you want to word it.

Same. I honestly think that I'm a fan of certain players, and that in turn becomes wanting that player and their team to win, unless it affects the Jags in any way. 

I really like Baker, so its nice to see the Browns win, but I couldn't care less about the Browns as a team in general

So again, how long before the tampering investigation starts?..

Not really tampering..

If the Giants or Redskins had expressed interest, which Nick Foles is allowed to disclose to Philly, they would have tagged him.

Yeah but all media called that we we're set on signing him weeks out. I'd laugh if they got hit with tampering because Jaguars.

Apparently, the Eagles were pretty happy to have Foles go to Jacksonville.   So why would they file a tampering complaint?
Reply


Foles said himself Jax was his top option (whether true or not)

Not sure if there's enough for tampering there. Foles could have just told his agent "Hey, I only want to be in Jax or back in Philly"
