That's the case with our fanbase in general - the overly critical minority is always louder.    I never hated Gannon, but I was never a huge fan either - also, he got that position based on the sacks and back to back blowouts we had in the playoffs. We'll see if he lasts more than 5 seasons.  I believe some of the defensive staff involved in the success we had went to Baltimore, and they ended up having the same success last year, while we regressed. So it makes me question who was actually more influential?

I was interested in giving Wilson an interview at DC and a real shot at it. He's now DC in Tennessee I believe

Do you feel with the lack of any real impact lb and proven impact edge rusher, that his scheme can be successful enough to bail the offense out on rough days? I feel the defense will take about half the season to find it's groove. The offense is talented enough to guess it's way into some wins until then 

I hear there's a decent pedge rusher wants out from the Jets 🥷

IF they could somehow make it work, I'd love to have Reddick back.

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Eagles had the Cowboys right where they wanted them.

After back-to-back sacks in the fourth quarter from Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat, the Cowboys were faced with a seemingly impossible 3rd-and-30 from their own 29-yard line.

If you skipped watching the game to enjoy Christmas Eve with your family, now would be the time to stop reading.

The Cowboys converted it.

Dak Prescott aired out a deep ball to 33-year-old T.Y. Hilton, who had been a Cowboy for less than two weeks, and Hilton came down with it for a 52-yard gain.

A few plays later, the Cowboys scored to tie up the game in their eventual 40-34 win.

 

Stuff like this didn't help his cause. ^^^

To be honest I don't think any D coordinator has much of a chance here. I firmly believe Lowie dictate the defense scheme. I Watched some Jim Short's defense last year and was amazed with the press coverage and blitzing he was calling, his defense was dominating. The Browns were pretty good last year. I was wondering why he never did that here...

In the spirit of the thread, I think Jalen is going to be just fine.

The super bowl year Jim's defense was ranked in the top 5 in almost all major categories. The super bowl was the only game they got destroyed but even then it was the defense that sealed the game.

The half of that game I thought the defense played fairly well. The offense wasn’t bad either, but the start of the second it was like the Patriots were reading our plays. The defense was getting owned and McNabb couldn’t find his own teammates not named T.O. Didn’t help that Pinkston somehow got dehydrated in 50 degree weather either. We will never know if the Patriots truly cheated because Goodell burned all the evidence. The fact he eliminated that evidence so quickly led me to believe there was some truly incriminating evidence there and it wasn’t just on regular season games like the Patriots tried to claim. There is a gambling side to football and all of those people who lost money because of the Patriots could have sued the NFL.

I was talking about the super bowl we won lol. That being said it's hard to say how much the cheating helped them because it was a close game that could have been won by the eagles numerous times. Also the patriots switching it up to screens and the short game after the half doesn't really mean they were cheating either. All the good teams that knew him Johnsons defense knew that's how you beat it.

I’m just going to accept that they cheated. 😂

Fair enough! 😂

17 interceptions in his last 18 games.  He has got to be better than game 1 the rest of this season.  Both picks were just dumb decisions.  And the incessant bail outs to the right are still an issue.  But, when it mattered late, he made some good plays.  

Chalking this one up to a long flight, awful field, new system and OC seems like the easy excuse, but those picks could have cost the game and they were boneheaded rookie mistakes from a 5 year vet getting paid a huge contract. 

 

I agree but counter that with some monstrous runs in the fourth quarter to get it done. He's not Peyton Manning nor Michael Vick, but a midpoint is good enough in this offense 

Jalen Hurts got the win.

He did what he needed to do to win.

He threw for 2 TD's. And let Saquon score 3 TDs in the process.

34 points should be enough to win every week.

Clean up those turnovers.

Clean up the D.

Man, I'm concerned about those turnovers.  That's an ongoing problem for going on 2 years now.  Here you had 2 INTs, 2 almost INTs, and 1 fumble.  Granted the Packers secondary is actually pretty good, but that is not getting it done.   I don't care how prolific of a passer you are, we won't win football games with 4+ turnovers.  The INT in front of AJ was particularly bad, throwing across his body into heavy traffic into the end zone when all we really needed was a FG.  That was rookie stuff.  Jalen can be better, he is better than that.  

Hated seeing the turnovers, PTSD from last year. It's always tough in week 1 because of no preseason game reps. Plus new coordinators and getting used to things. They need to prove more competence in the offense and Hurts needs to make better decisions. We can't have a repeat of last year with all the "ugly" wins loaded with concerns and mistakes. Need to play cleaner after they've grown comfortable in a few weeks. The Falcons game will tell us more about how they adjust and improve after watching film and hopefully learning from mistakes.

In this game Jalen had three turnovers, but there was potential for about six. I just feels like since the SB fumble Jalen has lost his knack for ball security. Overall decision making has been questionable too. Taking bad sacks, throwing across his body, playing some hero ball when he should be just getting the ball in the hands of all of his playmakers. There was a read in the Packers game where he kept the ball and ran right into a tackle where Barkley would have gotten yards. You could see Barkley throw his hands up. Jalen has to realize they don’t need him to be Mr. Everything. They have surrounded him with an enormous amount of talent. Just get the ball to the talent.

I might be misremembering, so bare with me, but I think Brown looked agitated after the pick as well.

These stupid turnovers aren't going to fly with the rest of the team for another year.

Glad to know you have insight into what the team is thinking. 

Do the Bills feel the same way? The Chiefs? 

Sometimes it's good for players to make a few mistakes in training camp, if nothing else, to remind them of that feeling you get when you make a similar mistake in an actual game.

I don't care about the Bills or Chiefs unless we play them.

Players get frustrated with a QB that continues to make the same boneheaded mistakes. That can very easily lead to losing a locker room. 

See: Carson Wentz

Did you watch tbe game? Did you see the final drive? That's what guys care about. A qb that puts the team on his back and wins games. That's why Hurts is elite. 

Players get it. You don't. Which is fine.

Players get it and want it if they still manage to win. Then we have stretches like the end of last season when the crappy play (by everyone) started becoming losses. 

Then you hear about locker room drama, malcontents, fractured relationships, etc. People want to win, but when dumb mistakes pile up and the losses start, that's when it gets ugly. 

We won and that's all that matters. For week one. It's not sustainable for long-term success, as we saw last season.

I suspect that players will not be happy if he continues to turn the ball over as though that's what he's being paid to do and we start losing again.

I'd prefer he just stop turning the ball over and we win all the way to and through the Superbowl
