All Washington had to kneel the ball and Texas would have had like 10 seconds left.

Epic clock management failure if they lose this

It’s like one last pac 12 after dark.

I don’t know if there’s a bet on DK but I’d bet his last broadcast for the pac 12 during the pac 12 tournament is gonna be him super high. DK should have what drug he’s on. I’d go shrooms. 

Losing Dillon Johnson going to hurt Washington 

My farm money would be on Michigan next week

Once Texas got down inside the 30 there were some weird play calls.

2 passes just throwing it up and hoping and 1 weird dump off that got nothing.

Also might have lost their starting corner 

McDonough is assaulting his microphone 

The two best units in college football, Michigan D vs Washington O. 

And both 14-0, a true National Championship 

Lmao

could the Eagles try some zero cover blitz?  1) it might work  2) 4 TDs on 4 drives in the 2nd half against Cards. 

normal 4 man dline might be BG, Davis, Carter, Reddick.
As LBs,  blitzing,  Nolan Smith and Ben VanSumeran.

And 5 dbs each man covering.   of morrow, cunningham, leonard,  maybe one covers TEs or RBs well?  

0/4 in the second half at stopping the Cards at all. If the Eagles let them score more quickly, they might have scored more?  But generally,  I'd like to see improvement over that and zero blitz with VanSumeren and Nolan Smith might do that.    If the Giants game is a fun game,  maybe try people on offense on defense.  Mailata might not make a bad nose tackle,  might pass defensed.  Small guys might be able to blitz.   Maybe AJ Brown would like a sack? Short guys might be hard to block.  Boston Scott, Covey. Swift.   Fun, and in a game that doesn't matter.

I do currently believe that they are "holding back" something.   I wouldn't say it's game plans.

Are you arguing that the Eagles are so stupid that they don't realize that you NEED a big back to run out the clock in the 4th Q?

Either the Eagles are so stupid,  or they already got all the wins they needed when they were at 10-1, and it hasn't mattered, so it hasn't been great.  But now that it's playoffs time, they'll roll out the new hot guns and crush it.  

We'll find out what happens when it happens.

I've heard the "races, like marathons, are only won by running as fast as you can at the start of the race" argument before, and it's wrong.

I've heard "no such thing as rope-a-dope,  Ali was simply not feeling well that day" before,  that's wrong.

Holding back stuff for the playoffs, when you don't really need wins,  is smart. 

If I'm an Eagles coach, player or front office,  I'm hating the Eagles fans.  I would be completely fine with playing every single game on the road.   They're not going to go out there and say "wow,  Eagles fans suck,  we almost won the Super Bowl,  we're going to the playoffs again, and they're booing,  and chanting when we're trying to concentrate on offense."  But they might be thinking that.  I would be.  Screw them,  we'd rather win on the road.

 

You can’t really be serious with this?! Holding back stuff for the playoffs? Teams might hold back a couple of plays for the playoffs (gimmicks etc.), but what you’re implying, maybe I’m reading it wrong, is that they are holding back a barrage of stuff to implement during the playoffs?

So you’re also saying, that winning these games for seeding doesn’t mean anything for them because they don’t or didn’t „need" these wins?

And calling out the Philly fans at home is just dumb. They have always been passionate and will call out (boo) when the players/coaches aren’t performing. Every single person booing the performance on Sunday was absolutely doing the right thing. These players / coaches etc. make a ton of money and if they can handle getting booed, then they need to find a different occupation. 
If they think what you have suggested that Philly fans suck and „screw them, we’d rather be on the road", then all of them need to take of those Eagles jerseys and get the f out of Dodge.

 

This team isn’t going to magically be better come playoff time. In reality, they really don’t deserve being in the playoffs. 
Still doesn’t mean that I won’t cheer them on come playoff time, but I just can’t see them beating a quality team anytime soon.

I think part of the evidence that they are not holding stuff back (and I know it’s just 2 plays) are the things they’ve done out of the brotherly shove formation. Twice now they’ve lined up for it and then created a play from it. Once with a Swift run and then the Gainwell pass on Sunday.

Yep, they are going to hold back a play here and there, but is that really going to change much come playoff time? The entire team is just completely off and a play here or there isn’t going to influence the outcome that much. If the offense was consistent, then it could mean something, but then again, do we really believe any offense could save this atrocious defense? You basically have to score almost every time to just keep up. Let’s assume the other team has a somewhat competent defense which was able to occasionally get off the field against a good offense. Ours can’t, so we wouldn’t be able to keep up.

 

Sure, anything can happen on any given Sunday, but realistically we don’t have a shot of going anywhere come playoff time.🤷‍♂️

Wow ok lady go ahead and bring up $hit I said a month ago 

Not to beat a dead horse but just look at the body language all around. It's absolutely terrible and not just AJ Brown.

I've also said this before but I never once have seen Hurts talking with a coach on the sideline. He's always, always just sitting by himself. Every Sunday, I see coaches sitting with their QBs, tablets in hand or QBs gathering guys to go things. Just seems like something is missing there. Bigger issues at hand with the team but this sticks out to me every game.

I have been typing out over the course of this year and last year things the Eagles could be doing to improve the offense.  creative, innovative stuff that uses more than just the handful of players the Eagles use.  Some is pretty basic. Hey, Eagles,  you have a punt returner who is tops in the NFL.  So many other teams use their prs as wrs or rbs.  Covey is the #2 leading receptions all time for U Utah.  Player you have,  tops in the league,  also does wr,  have him do that.  Short passes and punt return like yac.  There you go.  Covey could DEFINITELY influence the outcome that much.

But  I've been typing about a lot of players and how they could influence the outcome that much.   QB under center,  pitch out to Nolan Smith,  who runs outside in a McCaffrey way. Instead of Nolan Smith,  list 10 other players.  Ben VanSumeren, Michigan FB,  Sydney Brown (21.52 mph - the fastest Eagle and a running back in high school in Canada) Kelee Ringo 4.36, high school rb, Jalen Carter caught a TD pass with Georgia, Jordan Davis ran for a TD with Georgia.    That's pretty simple - pitchout to various players with top measures.    

Also,   motioning under center and becoming the surprise quarterback (same players - 2 QBs,  the front one often pitches to Hurts at his typical tailback spot)  and old school mass type plays (put your biggest players out there, Davis, Carter, Cox,  backup OL, and throw to one of them, and they run slowly forward,  get a tackler, and then 5 or 10 pushers show up, all over 300 pounds,  the Eagles would win that shoving match.  

Any one of those things, or variations of those is something I've been typing about here for months. I expect something fresh and new.   I would have thought that Hurts throwing to Brown, Smith and Goedert and handing to rbbc is something that those 4 players figured out how to do last year.  I would think that they would be working on something new, and since we're not really seeing all that much of that,  I'm figuring we're going to get something.

I'd also like the OL to get  TDs,   they can be bumped into the backfield,  to do that motion under center thing and be QB.     Lane was a QB in junior college, Mailata - rugby, Kelce - center and running back.   They all  could very plausibly be in the backfield as blockers, similar to Patrick Ricard Ravens FB, go into motion, get under center, take the snap and then plow forward. Or pitch back to Hurts,  or to an outside runner.

I totally forgot they called a timeout before the 3rd and 20.  So the best they came up with is a screen pass after calling a timeout for a 3rd and 20 play?  They really thought a screen pass would go for 20 yards there - to Gainwell, out of all players - who has yet to have a play over 20 yards all season?  Unbelievable.

 

Seems like they’re trying to play 4D chess but in reality, they’re not even playing checkers.
