Turnovers for no reason need to be avoided. I’m in favor of chocking it deep taking a shot for something good to happen on third and longs(especially extreme long). WR could come down with it. Pass interference. Interception acts like a P. Doesn’t bother me…even though it’s a Hurts interception. Go for it.

I prefer the long int than the punt in that situation.  All day.  Hate the 1st down turnover. Check Hurts record prior to week 4 and last year,  too many red zone and early down turnovers.  That changed and helped the team alot. Also led to 29.45 points per game. And I think if Hurts stayed in vs Washington we put up more than the 41 we did the following week vs Dallas.

Right...you just look for anything bad.  Great way to look at it

How about this... we have won nothing yet.... we have an opportunity that 24 other teams do not have.  Let's go.

I see us as the favorites. So we’ll blow them out. Barkley goes for 400 yards. AJ leaps tall buildings. Smitty slides through with five TDs.  Our D maintains a shutout! Plenty of reasons we should win. We’re all Eagles fans. Why not Homer things up to the max

It should never be necessary….or is it always necessary? He’s a 50/50 ball guy to throw to as I see it. Add in his knee currently….I’d say it’s a large factor. Are you choosing to throw them? Premeditated as pretty much part of the gameplan?

  Your answer is a nice way to skirt actually answering. Basically …you love it…as long as it works.

I love it at the right time.... again...not necessarily on 1st down ...I can't make it more clear

We should beat the Rams. Thought we all have agree there already

Idk..

In all our conversations where do you see the Eagles being a problem for the Rams?

Right...so since we are not involved in the game plan, we don't have to worry. We just watch.

It's ironic... you claim you hate the idea of " playing not to lose"  .... yet it seems like you approach your Fandom in that manner.

You act like the Superbowl is ours and we can only lose it.   You constantly look for ways we can lose. 

I'm the opposite... I go into every season in pursuit of the trophy...i don't think about losing something I don't have. I look for opportunities to get it.

If I had to pick sides... I would prefer to be the Eagles this week.  Right there it's enough...don't need blowout or anything to be a sure thing.  That's zero fun. 

Did that scenario not exactly play out against ATL where our home field worked against us? It totally did. Is that a much less likely scenario than home field aiding our guys to glory? Absolutely! We should beat the Rams. So what are scenarios it becomes much more difficult for us? Just how my mind works. I can process and visualize so many scenarios…very easily.

NFC Championship in Detroit...who would be the favorite?   That team will have the pressure.    In that situation if i was a fan of the underdog...I would prefer having a QB who thrives when the world thinks he is going to lose.  

You know any QB like that? 

If so...then you should love being the underdog in that situation...nothing to lose.

Barkley dropped the ball because we were at home?

Out of 100 scenarios that your great mind processes.... do we win in atleast 51 of them?

 I think we have the best coach on the field vs the Rams... Stout.   You give the best coach the best weapons to work with ..that trumps and fluke stuff scenarios you can think of.  

The battle at the line trumps all the chess stuff of the great minds...especially in the playoffs where preparation is at a much higher degree.

Last season we had no O scheme. It was our players overcoming lack of pro scheme practically street balling making things happen. Had carry over from what Steichen left us…but streamlined lesser than that even. So no way I’m factoring that in but so much. Thought Hurts…along with so many on our O were fantastic to accomplish what they were doing. Second ranked O past halfway….most all on the backs of our playmakers…creating plays. Huge disadvantage. 
 Turnover probability rises so much when the opponent knows your play. That’s what we dealt with all last season. Tried to tell you all along. Frankly….this past playoff game was eerily similar. The Pack knew our pass playcalls it seemed way way too much.

I’ve actually been trying to go through all scenarios. Thought on the Eagles fan board I could maybe skip by the super homer versions. I’ve said all along I expect to win. I expect to face the Lions.

But have shared some much more difficult and challenging very possible scenarios. Ones that will test us…maybe to the max.

Where do you put the odds if it comes down to a 49 yard field goal win or go home for Elliott?

I wanted the Vikes as the easiest ones to advance over. Well coached….bit weren’t that great. Pretenders in my eyes. But had 14 wins…which it seems around here makes you legendary best ever. Very strong example of how 14 win team wasn’t a great team. They maxed out however. So that was a  great season for them.

How would you describe the castaway Goff? The guy the city of Detroit has embraced as their franchise QB.

When Barkley dropped the ball…what happened? Not just how shell shocked our team was…the whole stadium. That home stadium actually worked against us after that. Did you watch that game? ATL waltzed down the field. We were toast after that drop. All the kings horses…you know about old Humpty Dumpty.

Stated several times we absolutely should beat the Rams at home. Exactly why I talked about what scenarios could make things much more challenging for us. Some challenging scenarios I feel we should be much more prepared for. But hey…go out there and don’t lose

But if you need it to feel more comfortable I can lay down more positive winning scenarios where things go bad for them and positive for us. Like Stafford gets whacked by Jalyx out of the game. 

I’d love to see that first interception begin the Comes in Bunches for Q onslaught avalanche explosion

"I've never seen him read. I've seen the book in his hands,” Hurts said.

Hurts answer when asked about him seeing  AJ always reading on the sideline.

AJ states he does it every game.

 

 Obviously these two answers don’t jive.

 
Can’t believe the camera wouldn’t have ever picked it up before….the way it exactly jumped all over it. Didn’t somebody even take the book away from AJ?

 

"Everybody has a different thing and finds their flow in different ways. So, that's how he chooses to do it.”
