This is not playing out how I thought. Nick Foles is on fire. 340+ yards and 3 TDs as the Eagles cruise to victory.
-
At one stage it was 7-0 to the Vikings too. Quite the beating.

@mariner4life Yeah, that Eagles defence is swarming Minnesota. Not that any of this matters because Brady is winning his sixth SB ring. And Belichick will then leave for the Giants....
Is that a record? (6 Rings?) If not, what is?

Is the Philly defence as good as Jacksonville's? What a story it would be if Foles could win all the chockies

You know who's gonna be pissed? Carson Wentz. Turns out it was the gameplan and defence, not just the QB.

Vikings is #1, Jacksonville #2, Eagles maybe #4?
Only difference is that the Eagles is a more complete team.. Eagles overwhelming favourites for a Superbowl win..

No such thing against NE. Last time the Eagles made the big game it was 2004 against..... the Patriots, who won. The last time they won it all was Dick Vermeil's team in 1980!!!

Sorry what? Raiders smoked the Eagles in that Super Bowl --> 27 to 10.

Oops, sorry. A quick peruse of wiki suggests that the Eagles have NEVER WON THE SB?????????????

How much money would James Harrison need to stand on Brady's throwing hand?
-
-
More new head coaches confirmed
-
Mike Vrabel (Texans defensive coordinator and former Patriot player) to Titans
-
Steve Wilks (Panthers defensive coordinator) to Cardinals
-
Pat Shurmur (Vikings offensive coordinator, former Browns head coach*) to Giants
*Quick note - Pat Shurmur's 9-23 record for the Browns is a lot better than Hue Jackson's current 1-31 record with the Browns. As an aside the Browns have hired loose cannon Todd Haley as their offensive coordinator (this year's Steelers offensive coordinator).
That leaves the Colts and the Lions with both expected to confirm hiring Patriots assistants once the Super Bowl is over, Josh McDaniels (Colts) and Matt Patricia (Lions).

@canefan the rumoured length is for a 4 year contract extension for Alex Smith (currently has 1 year left) and the rumoured trade price is a 3rd round pick and a player. Seems pricey and quite a lengthy commitment for a QB at Smith's stage in his career.
-
Just saw this on twitter. Wow, I had Alex Smith going to Buffalo (Buffalo has picks and cap space, plus a good running game). Washington is a bad place for him to be going.
So the teams out of the 2018 QB hunt are San Francisco (Jimmy G), New Orleans (Brees) and Washington (Smith).
Potential QBs to hit the market or available via trade: Case Keenum, Eli Manning, Tyrod Taylor, Blake Bortles, Ryan Tannehill, Nick Foles, Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Bradford.
Teams that are looking for serious upgrades, or short term help while they develop a drafted QB, are Cleveland, Buffalo, Denver, Minnesota, NY Giants, Arizona and potentially Jacksonville and Miami.

Smith can't carry a team, and WSH is a bad team. Maybe this was the best deal he could get, maybe he didn't have much choice. Buffalo could have done with a competent game manager like Smith. Maybe they'll be poking around for Keenum but Smith has runs on the board

Smith will be laughing to the bank with a 70 million guarantee.
Kirk Cousins will be available now though. Looking at his recent interview he wants a team with a chance of win, good receivers and a good line. (not asking for much then...). Jags might be the best fit on those criteria. Will he take less money to be at a better team?
I can see the Jets, Browns and Bills getting into a bidding war for him. Jets and Browns have early draft picks though so might be more inclined to go that route than throw what will be a massive deal at Cousins
Redskins have basically dumped him though, and surely that will make others nervous. They have the best view in the league and thought Smith was better value. What do they know?

WSH are a dumpster fire, I'm not sure they know anything. If Smith has 70M guaranteed good on him for taking that deal. But I remember what he was like in his early years in a rudderless 49ers team; I know he has improved greatly, but it's gonna suck playing for a shit team again. All he can do is bite his lip and remember
