You know, for a fanbase thatâs supposedly one of the smartest in football, Eagles Nation has an amazing ability to devolve from high-IQ deep thinkers into fully tricked out troglodytes. All it takes is A.J. Brown tweeting out his post game thoughts about not getting the ball enough and boom! Half the fanbase wants to jettison him to the AFC. It’s one ofthe most asinine things Iâve ever heard from the mouths of Eagles fans and thatâs saying something.
SCENE SET
Eagles (6-2, 3-1 Away) ay Packers (5-2-1, 3-1 Home)
Where: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin
When: Monday, November 10, 2025
TV: ESPN/ABC 8:15
Betting Odds: Packers – 1.5, Over/Under 45.5
Money Lines: Eagles -105, Packers -118
Smear Campaign
Then of course it becomes a smear campaign on the teamâs best player. You hear “A.J. Brown gave up on that ball against the Broncos. Heâs dogginâ it!”. Um, no he didnât. He had Denverâs d-backs beaten by five yards. If you knew anything about the wide receiver position youâd know that Brown has to track the ball and adjust his speed accordingly. He couldnât find the ball in time. Iâve never seen a guy give up on a ball after getting 5 yards of separation but thatâs some real good insight.
So the fan base wants to trade him, yeah, thatâs a brilliant idea, trade your best player because heâs a âheadache.â Howâd it for out for the Titans? They tried to replace him with a draft pick the Eagles sent them, Treylon Burks, maybe youâve head of him, or maybe not.
You know what kind of headache Brown is? The kind you pop a couple of Advil for, then thank God youâve still got him. Because that âheadacheâ has 1,400-yard seasons on repeat and the Birds are 22-2 when he scores a touchdown.Â
Calm and Cool Howie
So Kudos to birds’ G.M. Howie Roseman for keeping his composure when he was repeatedly asked if he ever thought about tr.ading brown recently. Howie calmly reminded his dim witted constituents that âYou donât win championships by trading away your best players.â Yet here we are again, a year after birds fans wanted to fire head coach Nick Sirianni for chirping at the crowd during the Browns game last year and getting a new hair cut the next day. Yeah ride Sirianni out of town on a rail because – whatâs he ever won? Heâs only one of the winningest coachâs in nfl history this side of some guy named Lombardi.
Philly fans, I love you, I feel you, Iâm with you, but you need to stop string stupid sh*t. Let Howie and A.J. do their jobs. Your job is to enjoy what is currently the greatest era in Eagles football. It wonât be here forever.Â
Overrated
Now as for the upcoming game with Green Bay Monday night – so most of the country jumped on the Packers band wagon after a week one win over the Detroit Lions. And Iâm just wondering why is it that I always have to be the one to deliver the truth. Now Iâm not one to say I told you soâ¦.oh wait, yes I am. I wrote a story before last yearâs wildcard game with the Eagles about the overrated Jordan Love. Man if I could have sold him short before that game Iâd own like six islands right now andno one would ever see me again. Love played one dynamite game on the road in the playoffs against the Cowboys and his team anointed him as their savior, their franchise quarterback, a gunslinger good enough to be mentioned in the Lambeau lineage with the likes of the Favres and Rodgers and blah blah blah. That win over the Cowboys was a long time ago. Love hasnât won a playoff game since and not only that he threw three picks against the Birds in last yearsâs playoff game.
But hey a pretty sound win over the Lions in week one and the Pack is now the team by which all teams should be judged? Right? No, Theyâre 4-2-1 they lost to the Browns because of a late ill-advised pick by Love. They put up 40 points against the Cowboys and didnât win and they just dumped a home game as two touchdown favorites against the Carolina Panthersâ¦
What am I missing?
Itâs like everybody raving about the Broncos this year. a whopping 10 first downs and a 3 point win over the Raiders Thursday night, yeah thatâs a very special team at 8-2 in the AFC West.
Failed the Sniff Test
Moving on to one of the many new Eagles free agents that Roseman brought in in bulk to hopefully fix the cornerback and edge rush problems the birds have had this year – how about that former all-pro cornerback Jaire Alexander. He addressed his brief and puzzling stint with the Baltimore Ravens, explaining why he spent time on the bench before being traded to Philadelphia. The former All-Pro clarified that the decision wasnât about his health or performance but was part of the Ravensâ rotation plan during a crowded stretch of the season.
The Athleticâs Zach Berman posted on Twitter what the veteran defensive back said about his time in Baltimore, providing important context for his return to the field this week.
âJaire Alexander said heâs healthy and explained the Baltimore situation as other players getting a chance to play. He said this has been in the works for awhile. He didnât view it as a chance to prove to others heâs the same player as much as showing what he can do. Heâs prideful, and as he noted, still in prime of his career.â
But After signing a one-year deal with the Ravens this summer, he found himself buried on the depth chart behind emerging talent before being traded to the Eagles for a late-round pick.Â
Did the Ravens come up with this plan after they signed Smith?
And howâd it play out for Baltimore? They had one of the worst secondaries in the league for the first five games of the season but still let an all Pro sit the bench? Ok we shall see what he looks like Monday night as he returns to Lambeau to play the team that drafted him back in 2018. Oh but wait, this just in. Alexander won’t be making the trip to Green Bay with the team due to his injured knee that he had surgery on this past January. Just a little remider when something smells off it usually is.
The birds are one and a half point under dogs in Lambeau Monday night. Any time the champs are getting points I just like to just say thank you and be on my way.
PREDICTION: Eagles 34, Packers 27
