Do dumpster fires excite you? Go ahead, make some popcorn. You have time. This one’s a slow burn.

The Eagles look to have struck gold with Carson Wentz, 2 starts into his career. What stands out the most to me is his willingness to take what the defense is giving him.

I’ve seen various reactions from the Bills’ Mafia calling for Rob or Rex Ryan’s head, but that really misses the bigger point: Doug Whaley is the worst GM in football. Continue reading
