Ok... all of these articles about fractures and all that aren't the media drumming up drama? That's what they do 🙂

Like I said, Marcus Hayes. He wrote the one article and it’s always him because that’s his shtick. 

And AJ gave him the reason to.

The rest of the Philly media takes the ball and runs with it and then it's national news. I've seen this show.

They just did their jobs. Go into the locker room after the game and talk to players. There’s 70 some other players on the team that has the same platform and rope, AJ is the one that decided to draw attention to it. 

It’s a little of column A and a little of column B.  It’s mainly column A though, the media shoving mics in peoples faces because that’s how this sports market operates.   

This one is on Hurts. I mean look how wide open he is. That's a good pocket for the NFL. Hurts has got to step up with the intent to throw, not run. Step up with your eyes down field and it's a huge gain.

He didnt even need to step up. As soon as his foot hits the ground on the last step of his drop he should be delivering that ball in rhythem. AJ is just about to go in to his break. A real QB is letting that ball go right then so its there when AJ turns his head. Then he is going to have time and room to operate with the ball in his hands.

You want Hurts to step up in the pocket?

What part of the game is this? Sounds like Shane is implying going over the middle wasn't an option because of the clock.

There was 14 seconds left when he runs OOB. Throw it to AJ and they probably don’t get another play off.

I’ve said this in the past, and it’s been like this since the end of the Andy Reid era. there’s always someone in that organization that likes to run their mouth and start drama when there’s turbulence and things aren’t going well. that’s not their job inside that organization. Their job is not to give a juicy quote or leak inside intel to reporters.  i couldn’t give a flying F about Jeff McLane, Tim McManus, or whoever that reports it. That’s their job when some moron in the organization wants to say something idiotic or something they shouldn’t on the record or even leaked. The WAYYYYYY bigger issue is there’s somebody from the inside saying crap that shouldn’t be doing it.

And most of the eagles Fanbase is gonna get upset at the reporter for putting it out. Meanwhile, I guarantee you the person who’s leaking it knows that the fan base well enough and knows they are going to be more upset at the reporter putting it out there than him for saying it. So he is going keep doing it. he’ll just keep doing it knowing he’s not gonna feel the ire or be held accountable by the fan base. it’s gonna be the reporter that gets the backlash rather than him or the organization that can’t keep their crap in house or mouths closed.

Reality should be the Fanbase should be irritated that somebody nside the organization can’t shut the F up and do their job. Their job is not to go to mclane or mcmanus or Kapadia or whoever the F reporter they wanna go to to leak inside info that would be damaging.  At some point in time hold the Fing people inside that building Fing accountable for allowing continuous Fing leaks to get brought to the forefront. I can give a flying F about the journalist. Because if if is not Jeff McLane, kempski, esp or ej smith then it’s  gonna be some other dbag reporter 4 years from now.

No, had to burn all 3. One because we couldn’t figure out substitutions on the 3rd and 20 Gainwell screen he mentions. Another because VanSumeren tackled a guy at the goal line instead of letting him score with 30ish seconds left.

Did they cut off Smitty’s leg yet?

You think the media drove TO out of town? Really? 

Did the media make him demand a new contract. Or throw the QB under the bus? Or fight with teammates in the locker room? 

Rosenhaus drew the media to TO’s driveway after a practice TO got kicked out of. He used the media for his and his clients agenda. 

I don’t blame the media entirely for that situation - there were a lot of moving parts.  But the media certainly didn’t help the situation and dove right in when they got the chance.  
 

Was there anyone in the Philly media saying, "Hey, let’s slow this down some.  We just went to the Super Bowl last year - let’s hope cooler heads prevail.”?   Of course not - they basically crucified TO as soon as they got the chance. 
 

TO didn’t help the situation.  His agent didn’t help the situation.  McNabb didn’t help the situation and so forth.  So in a sense, almost everyone involved in that situation shares some of the blame - including the media, imo.

What's crazy is on the hail merry if Julio doesn't get tripped he probably comes up with his 3rd TD. Looks like they also shoved AJ out of bounds lol.

Thats unfortunate. At the very least they complete the pass. Spike it, and Elliott hits a very long FG.

They were down by 4.

It’s kinda hard to not talk about the star WR getting kicked out of training camp and then the agent calling for the media to show up to his house for an impromptu PC about it. Drew is the one most to blame, imo. I wouldn’t be surprised if he leaked almost all the info for the media to make it a circus and get his client out of there and get a new contract somewhere else.

The whole play was weird because it’s Julio in the endzone basically by himself with 4 or 5 Cardinal defenders. I have no idea other than Brown who was even out there for it because Smith was injured and Watkins didn’t play a snap. 

The dear a-hole is a good touch

they used that to draw up the screen pass to KG.

I don’t know about an all out conspiracy from his agent - not sure it would have been thought out that deeply.  That entire situation went from zero to 100 almost overnight. 
 

Regardless, it was a dark moment in this franchises’ history and I don’t think this current front office wants any sort of replication of the past.  Just a guess. 

Sirianni and Johnson's explanation for that 3rd down call was idiotic. Basically, the Cardinals were bringing pressure and they were afraid of a sack so the bubble screen is a play they like to beat pressure.

1. That play hasn't worked all season to beat anything. Ever.

2. The Cardinals have the 32nd ranked defense. Why the F are you letting them dictate to you what you're running?

3. How have they not figured out any other play to beat a blitz by now? For a team that claims every week they're gonna take a look at things and implement fixes, apparently they've never thought to address this yet.

Not to mention the doubling down on the 2nd down play trying to argue it was a good play, but Budda Baker just made a great play on it. It's so laughable you'd think they were trolling us. In no circumstance is a Hurts QB sweep a better play than going to AJ Brown or Smith on the worst defense in the NFL. Please Fing put an end to this insanity, Lurie.

Looks like Oz and Goedert were playing for the deflection. Julio and AJ were going for the catch. Budda's leg tripped up Julio. He was the only shot on that play.

Would have, should have, could have.  But, they should have signed either him or Kyzir White, as well as Epps or Gardner Johnson.

I think Edwards wanted to be in Chicago. He grew up a Bears fan and he was the first FA signing in the entire league, like 5 mins past noon. I suppose Howie could have extended him sooner though.
