Jeffrey Lurie was thought by many to be out of his mind when he put together a deal in 1994 to purchase the Philadelphia Eagles for $185 million from Norman Braman, a auto dealer who saw him coming all the way.

In a Week 1 matchup between of the most mediocre teams in football, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Cleveland Browns at home with a 29-10 score.
There was an injury to their starting quarterback, poor defensive play, game altering turnovers, and defeat at the hands of a quarterback they passed on in the draft. Before McCown became the quarterback in 2015, the tight end had just 44 catches in six seasons, but last year with McCown as the quarterback, the tight end caught 79 passes for 1,043 yards and nine touchdowns, torching his combined career stats in just one year. “So we’ll cross that bridge as we go through this week”. Win, lose, or draw you have [to] correct it and put it behind you. Even the play itself just showed the fight that he had even late in the game, which is tough. We came out here and played football.
The Browns kept McCown as an insurance policy in case Griffin got hurt so they wouldn’t have to rush Kessler onto the field.
Matthews and Wentz made for a nice passing combination in the season opener. He actually did a respectable job last season as it pertains to the stat line, but he dealt with injuries and had to miss a lot of time while the Browns tried to figure out how bad Johnny Manziel was on and off the field.
Wentz completed 22 of 37 passes for 278 yards and two scores, while avoiding a turnover.
I will, however, give McCown credit for saying what he has to say under the circumstances. “But if they don’t go man coverage and go zone, the corners stayed under me and the safety was coming over top”, he said. The results? I don’t know what they’ll be; you can’t tell the future.
Fans reacted to Griffin going on injured reserve via social media. I could make a joke here about the standards being low enough in Cleveland for that to happen, but I won’t do that. I just saw the ball. “There’s always going to be that one or two unscouted looks that you haven’t seen on film, so those are always the wrinkles that D-coordinators will throw at you from time to time”. We never throw that in practice, but in the game that’s what we saw and he hit it.

“As vendors get licensed in the college market to carry Carson Wentz items, we’ll be more than happy to add to what we now have”, says Sivertson. The Bears are in a bit of a rebuilding phase, and will need to get Jeremy Langford going if they are going to have a chance against Philly. He certainly has a lot to learn before he can be a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL, but he could one day be a good player in this league once again. It takes an urgent snap count to force the defenders to get into position to play the defense they’re in on that specific play and Wentz knows how to do it. “But right now I think we’re comfortable where we are and we’ll continue to have those discussions”. “If the doctors say I’m good, the trainers say I’m good, and my body feels good, then that is the goal”. “If you watch my reaction, I was as surprised as anybody”. I don’t know any rappers from North Dakota.’ He said his favorite album was from Jason Aldean. “It was the ‘Dirt Road Anthm” album.
