    a) we all have Wentz colored glasses on and have confirmation bias

    or

    b) the benching of the high paid QB sent a message to everyone that nobody's job is secure, so you may want to put some good plays on tape.

    But here are some questions for you so see if we share the same reality:

    1. Is Nick Foles black?
    2. Were only black players tanking? If so, which ones can you point to whose initials aren't AJ?
    3. What high effort plays have you seen from the Eagles since Wentz was benched?
    I don't know how to highlight but my question is....per numbers one and two....who said anything about race to begin with? I believe it was you who first injected that with the "white grievance" comment.
    Life is tough, but it's even tougher if you're stupid.......John Wayne

    The Redskins need to win on Sunday. So expect a lot of variety to confuse the rookie.
    The Redskins also have an Elite Front 7. Hurts will likely struggle.

    A is a distinct possibility.

    With that said, I think there's enough evidence that Wentz basically has carried the Eagles on his back for two seasons. That he didn't do as well at it again this year makes it a pretty shitty deal to pin it all on him. But's he's the QB and if the front office and coaching staff is looking to save their own skin taking the drastic step of swapping QBs is understandable. Me with my Wentz colored glasses just want him to emerge from this situation in the best possible position of all the parties involved.

    Lakes is a fantastic metaphor for the internet. He’s funny and sad all at once, he says things that are true and false, sometimes even at the same time, he wants to bring us together and exploit our weaknesses for his gain. He also has literally countless posts on multiple sites that exist as content on the internet.

    So in summary, Yes.

    I hereby start my Bisonville campaign to get El Chapo to change his sig line to: “I am the internet.”

    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

    Wait I think the second verse is about a different quarterback, nvmd

    I think that line is in a poem by Yeats.

    If folks are going to make an argument like that, then they should have some proof other than some anonymous source (Alshon) trying to pass off his lack of production on Wentz. Of course, the anonymous source is going to bust his ass after a QB change because he just saw his last, best excuse go down.

    The thing is the anonymous source said this when FOLES was the backup so this is indeed the dumbest fucking thing I've ever read on Bisonville (including the political board.) Maybe in dog whistle world guys are going to risk their 7-figure short-term incomes to go on a semi-strike in the hopes of getting the right shade of QB, but that's not happening in the real world. Anybody who thinks that Jason Peters, for example, wasn't busting his ass is a moron - he might not have the ability anymore but his effort was not the problem.

    If practices are crap and the game effort is crap, you know who is to blame in the real world? The freaking head coach and the GM.
    i watched every single snap of eagles this year with Wentz.
    and IF YOU CANT TELL THE PLAYERS ARE TRYING HARDER for Jalen than your blind.
    and you injected white whatever code word.. i said "buddys" as in who he hangs with. its human nature, not black or white FFS. Wentz hangs with the linemen and jalen with the rbs/wrs. Wentz/Kelce are tight yet Kelce had no problem publicly saying hes behind jalen.

    have you heard alshon, reager, desean get carsons back?
    in fact Alshon milked an injury for 12 weeks (and anonymous stabbed carson in back last year) and desean poof suddenly came back last week. hmm

    Lets just all agree. GTFO Carson and spend all their millions, he should go lease a million dollar car and stroll up for week 17 on the bench
    NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
