Yes, yes he was. He was about as good as Nick Foles was, which is "acceptable", maybe even "good", but not "great" or anything to be excited over.

To be fair, if there is any environment in which Chicken Fingers can thrive in, its this one. Think back to his first few years being successful with the Jets - Really solid run game which opens up the passing game and makes it so he doesn't have to force throws (Something Nick Foles really needs to remember). Sanchez was even stepping up into the pocket, which Foles has been afraid to do all week.

Was Sanchez ever really successful though? He made the AFC championship twice, but really, thats all on Rex's defense and the powers of Bart Scott and Revis. Like, Sanchez was the worst qb on a good team I can think of off the top of my head. Rez Grossman maybe?

Actually I take it back, Sanchize is better than Geno Smith lol.

I do think it's funny that last years jets back up is now starting the eagles, while Vick (last years eagles backup) is about to start for the jets.

His playoff numbers are actually really good, that was the only place he was mostly successful. He was like a worse version of Russell Wilson last year; on a team with a stout Defense and a really good run game that makes it so the QB doesn't have to do everything. Sanchez can play that role, and now that our O-line is mostly healthy again (as healthy as its going to get with Herremans on IR), I see our run game coming back to ease the pressure on Marky Mark.

And yeah, the Eagles and Jets should've just traded lol.

Also explain to me how we have the NFC's best point differential while also holding the NFL's worst turnover differential.

The 4-12 dream is real for the texans

Are there? They have begun their yearly spectacular collapse already by losing to the Redskins and now the Cardinals (although the latter was to be expected, that team is real). Granted, they lost Tony Romo, but we lost our QB and beat a better team on the road while they lost their QB and lost to the skins at home. aka Fuck the Cowboys.

Well, Mark Sanchez's debut went better than anyone could've hoped.

Saints are starting to come around, Mark Ingram's run game has been a revelation.

Know what I, a Philadelphia native, like more than seeing the Eagles win? Watching the Cowboys lose.
We need this one.

I am entirely fine with burying those bastards in field goals.

Jack · Postby **Jack** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 12:04 am

And Joe Buck is the worst part about this game.

Oh yeah, its physically traumatizing for that man to say a positive thing about the Eagles I think

Checkbox · Postby **Checkbox** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 10:47 pm

Well as an Eagles Fan, that's what I get out of it. I can't look past that to see any other negative qualities he may have

I knew there was a reason I didn't like you.

The Cowboys' schedule is weird this season.

http://www.fbschedules.com/nfl-15/2015- ... hedule.php

Hosting the Giants at home for the season opener is kind of exciting, but we don't usually play division rivals right out the gate. And we don't even play the Redskins until Dec? What? Just weird.
