Ian’s scouting report of Maye has me excited as a Commanders fan. I know this dude knows the position. Hell of a position for Peters to be in knowing you’ll get Caleb or Drake. https://t.co/mhXJZI1ziH

The same Bucs team that had scored 13 and 9 points in the two weeks entering the postseason while averaging 288 yards per game has racked up 397 yards (and counting) and 22 first downs.
Good thing Matt Patricia took control of the Philly D!

This offensive system should never see the light of day ever again, and anyone who would allow it to is just part of the problem. Not on any level of football. It set the players up to fail continually and allowed defenses to dictate the terms of play.
— Honest NFL (@TheHonestNFL) January 16, 2024
I wouldn’t wish this offense on my worst enemy. If your plan is that you need a very capable QB, two top 10 WRs, an elite OL and a top 5 TE just to score 20 points, you’re fucked. Talent shouldn’t be making a system work. The system needs to make the talent work.

The reality of this play: Rookie burner Trey Palmer beat 30-year-old James Bradberry in coverage, then ran right by 31-year-old Bradley Roby and 30-year-old Kevin Byard on the way to the end zone.

Jason Kelce once again faces a decision about his future. Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham are also slated to be free agents. This feels like an #Eagles team in transition in many ways. Lots of questions to be answered. pic.twitter.com/BJChNhRrXe
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) January 16, 2024
Needing a rebuild but having a QB on a $255m contract until 2028 and a WR on a $100m contract until 2026 is not a great position to be in.
Especially if Hurts has turned into a pumpkin, and AJ Brown is unhappy in Philadelphia as reports suggest.
Could get spicy.

This Eagles team is likely to look drastically different next year.
A bunch of older veterans played this year because they thought they were close to a Super Bowl, but it seems probably several of these retire or change teams: pic.twitter.com/uiEj1BS33p

The NFC East will be the only division not represented in next weekend’s NFL Divisional Round. No doubt lots of change on the horizon.

Perception in November: The NFC East champ would be the co-favorite with San Francisco in the NFC, and the East runner-up would have a de facto bye in Round 1 vs. the NFC South champ.
Reality in January: NFC East champ boatraced by 7 seed, runner-up smacked by NFC South champ.

Jerry and Stephen Jones will not be appearing this week @1053thefan. Yes, they have come on in the past to recap the season, but their radio agreements for the year actually expire when the #Cowboys season ends.

The Ravens averaged 28.4 PPG and led the NFL in rushing offense & scoring defense
The only other teams in the Super Bowl era to lead the NFL in rushing offense & scoring defense while averaging at least 25 PPG?

Jordan Love (2023) is 1 of 4 players to have at least 10 games in a season with multiple pass TD and no interceptions since he was drafted in 2020.
The others are Aaron Rodgers (2020-21), Tom Brady (2020), and Patrick Mahomes (2020).
Rodgers won the MVP in 2020 and 2021.
Brady…
