Hey fellas

I been away and missed all of the preseason. All I've seen is a few highlights on youtube. What did I miss? I know about Jordy and James Jones, but not much else.

Who were the surprises? Good and Bad?

Anybody I should go back and look at their preseason work?

How did all the units look? Offense Defence Special Teams?

I was feeling pretty good about the team's chances before my trip. Should I feel any different?

I know it's all gut feeling at this point but what everybody's feel for the early part of the season?

Thanks guys

WR Ty Montgomery, LB Jake Ryan and QB Brett Hundley looked like future studs. FB Aaron Ripkowski looked like a ST coverage stud. 😎

Packers are not deep at OT and DL at the moment, at least until DL Jones and Guion get off the suspension list, but still not deep at OT.

CBs still have something to prove. At times they've looked very very good, other times not so much. They have clear potential but still need to learn more and pull it all together but most of them are very young so they still have time to develop.

recap from preseason:

- new CBs look good
- jordy out with ACL for year; we resigned Jones!
- new kick returner and receiver looks good
- Tolzien much improved and so is our project QB
- Running with 2 FBs this year again

What I got from this preseason was our secondary is going to be more strength than weakness as most thought. I would say it is the deepest position on the team right now.

2nd Rounder Rollins flashed potential but there will be growing pains this year.

Also our punter is going through some of the worst performances of his career. It's concerning.

packerfanoutwest (6m) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (1h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (1h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (1h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (1h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (2h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (2h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (2h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (2h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (2h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (2h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (2h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (2h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (2h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (2h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (2h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (2h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (2h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (2h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (3h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (3h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (3h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (3h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : refs just called an OPI,,,bullshit

dhazer (5h) : final score Chefs 24 Eagles 21 Refs 3
