I think if nothing other than to change the look of the offense, they need to get Penny in the game. The problem might be that they see Swift and Penny in the same role as opposed to Gainwell and Penny as interchangeable. Gainwell and Watkins are JAGs or below. I don't get the freaking coaching romance with these players. 

I don't think Howie gives Swift a contract so they should really just find someone like Swift and someone like what we had with Blount. They don't do RBBC anymore even though we have 4 RBs

But why throw the ball 4 yards to the middle of the field when you can throw screens instead?!

Eagles screen game sucks .. it's as if they sacrificed practicing the screen game for the shove.

The problem with the screen is that he almost always has a delayed throw.

I'm not sure what their obsession is with it. I don't really care what it might set up later in the game when they're throwing away drives to do them in the first place. The offense needs momentum and they just throw in these negative plays for no reason.

Ertz still hasn't signed. He's gonna sign a day before the playoffs start isn't he?

That's their attempt to get guys in space but they can do that in the middle of the field too.

I feel like we've been seeing this all year -- teams are sitting back in a 2 safety shell and not letting us beat them deep. They are forcing us to take the underneath throws and/or run the ball, betting on us being impatient eventually. The Patriots did it in week 1, and basically everyone is copying it. It's like we can't beat the friggin Fangio defense...

Eagles out here like me in tecmo Super Bowl 

One last thought on Monday night -- we really missed Zac Cunningham. If the price is right, I would definitely bring him back next year.

It'll be funny if he signs here and isn't used and people complain that it was a pointless signing

Andy freaking Reid and his BS with Trotter pulling the tag cost them.

Levon Kirkland lumbering in his place and then Barry Gardner & Blaine Bishop giving up that long play to Jurevicius… changed the momentum and we know how the rest went.

I'd pass because he's almost 30 and it feels like he's breaking down this year already. The fact he's even playable this year is almost unbelievable. But if they bring him back on vet min, fine.

As some QBs got hurt, looked at per game stats.

Eagles are 16th in passing yards per game, and Hurts is 14th in DYAR (passing efficiency above replacement per DVOA stats). Eagles are 7th in yards/ATT, meaning when do throw it, we're good at it. 

Note that this do not include strength of schedule or that we have played 4 rain games. 

Pretty much the definition of mediocre.

It's a blessing Cowboys imploded last Sunday

I feel like it should be the opposite and this logic has been the main driver of their offensive concerns this season. It’s also led to the regression of Hurts playing dumb football and looking for the homerun. 

 

They got in trouble when they went for the YOLO plays.  When they methodically moved the ball... they scored.   Crazy that.

We need Hank Stramm!

I think the blessing is that the realistic expectations that the Eagles could be legit Super Bowl contenders this year has been erased.  So, now when the inevitable happens in the playoffs, we will all be expecting it.  AND, if by some miracle of some residual magic from 2017 rubs off and this team manages to somehow actually win the Super Bowl... we can enjoy it that much more, because we won't be nervous wrecks leading up to and throughout the game, we'll just be waiting for the implosion.  If it never comes... we get a parade.   When it does come, we are prepared.

Need Cowboys to beat Miami so they have incentive to beat the Lions the following week.

I mean who cares.  He's a scrub.  The Eagles should have never given up a TD drive in the final minute and change of the game.
