[quote=Chico23231;1267393]ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Eagles will bench QB Carson Wentz for Week 14 against the Saints.
Jalen Hurts will get the call for an exceptionally tough matchup. The Eagles had no other choice after Wentz completely bottomed out against the Packers, completing just one pass for eight yards to wide receivers in roughly 38 minutes of play. Completing 57.4 percent of his throw and averaging an awful 6.0 yards per attempt, Wentz has just one more passing touchdown (16) than interception.[/quote]

I big win last night and the Eagles benching their multi-million dollar QB this morning...

Life is good at the moment.

Wentz seems to be processing things so slow.

He ended last season with a concussion and just doesnt look right.

Because if you take the time to think about the logistics of it, it seems insane. Do you think Woody Johnson or one of his top lieutenants took the time to relay a message down to Gregg Williams that in the off-chance the game came down to one or two final plays, he needed to send a call that would give the Raiders the best chance to win?

Does Woody Johnson have a direct headset line to Gregg? Or does Woody Johnson send his assistant on the sideline a message to give to Gregg? Or does Johnson's assistant give the message to Gase who gives the message to Gregg? Or did Gase call the D and use Gregg as a scapegoat? Did Woody Johnson's assistant bypass Gase entirely and give the direct message to Gregg? What was the message? "Hey Gregg need you to blow the game here, can't lose that #1 pick in the 50/50 chance Trevor Lawrence declares for the draft." Did his assistant tell Gregg to call Cover 0? What kind of timeframe was this accomplished in? Did everything go down in the 20 seconds Gregg has to make the call? Did it happen with several minutes left in the 4th before they had any idea the game would come down to the last 20 seconds? Alls I'm saying is if we're gonna make asinine conspiracy theories, we need some sort of smoking gun to establish credibility. If not, you're just talking out of your ass.

BTW the alternative is that a coordinator with 20 years of calling aggressive defense made an aggressive call that he thought was ballsy AF and it ended up costing them the game.

I honestly think double G wanted some style points to accentuate the Jets first win of the season .. bc thats how self centered narcissistic a-holes do, they want credit for any tiny success.

I agree 100 percent. That is exactly what that was.

A Titans and Bengals player suspended for stepping on opponents legs, separate incidents.

Videos in the link below. Clear intentional steps by each player but nothing too egregious.

My 2 cents is GW doesn't take orders form anyone. He's an old outlaw renegade and died an outlaws death. Doubtful he ever gets another shot in the NFL after this one and man did he go out with a bang. Unfortunately there is no place in the NFL for these type of guys anymore. I liked him under Gibbs pt 2. D wasn't the problem. I'm kinda going to miss the guy.:Smoker:

Joe Buck jinxed Justin Tucker. I immediately called the jinx.

Nahhh....I think he'll get another job. He can still scheme up a defense better than a lot of them. Nobody thought he'd be back after the bounty gate...but, he came back.

"They can catch the ball or they can get replaced by those who will catch it," Tomlin said. "It's just as simple as that. As I have often said, I expect guys to make routine plays routinely. When there is a pattern of that not happening, then we have to look at who we are throwing the ball to.

Tomlin with that tough love after taking the L on Monday, I like it.
