The amount of physical energy expended by Bark to lead the league in yardage is ridiculous. The man guided us(or was a huge factor) in getting us to the SB and now the fact he is worn out after an entire season of expending everything he had in tough playoff games defines him as a "choke"? I'm not going to start on Hurts again, but you have a double standard as the energy expended by Hurts is minimal in comparison

May 23, 20251 yr I was pissed when the Browns used the #1 overall pick in 2018 to select Baker Mayfield, thereby letting the Giants get Saquon with the #2 pick. But that’s the Browns.

I’ve gone to the mirror store and gotten robust supply of mirrors, which I will be holding up to him so that he can look at what he looks like to everybody elseBeen lots of those stores visited over the years...nothing works.
May 23, 20251 yr Just now, cunninghamtheman said:Saquan stating 2024 Eagles top all time team.Think there is a case to be made. Exactly ranking just how high all time is obviously debatable. They had the potential to actually possibly be number one. But don’t think they have a great case to be made because Siri felt they needed to dial everything on O back. They weren’t unleashed and pushed to know just how consistently they could have just been piling up the scoring. I completely believe and believed they could have been putting up 50 plus points often. To me just unleashing such talent would have been just as …if not more so avoiding risking losing. A mistake here or there most likely really wasn’t going to cost them. Not if they were putting up such points opponents just couldn’t even have hoped to match. Especially considering the high level D they had to accomplish doing it on.
May 23, 20251 yr So…pulling things back Siri chosing to play not to lose worked for the most part. So can’t really say much against that choice. Especially after those results. But just because that approach worked…doesn’t mean the opposite approach wouldn’t have also worked. We are left to just wonder and ponder what if? What if instead of playing not to lose and holding back so very much….instead Siri coached seeking greatness instead? What if Siri just unleashed all that talent trusting in just how dominant and great they would perform. That choosing to dominate and just simply showcase how opponents just couldn’t keep up with how lethal we were unleashed towards achieving optimal peak greatness?
May 23, 20251 yr See I get that playing to not lose worked and all. So really no argument can be really made against Siri decision to hold everything back and play it safe. Won each week. But I honestly believe we’d also have won each week by going for maximum greatness instead. Just felt they were always so capable of scoring like they showed finally at the end. They proved to just be insane unstoppable scoring machine when Siri did unleash them.
May 23, 20251 yr So holding them back like was chosen just really kept that squad from being considered so all time elite.
May 23, 20251 yr But isn’t it worthy of considering if Siri didn’t decide to go ultra safe? Doesn’t anybody but me believe if Siri pushed them towards producing at record levels instead…that would have actually been a team that wasn’t going to lose also?
May 23, 20251 yr Worst first quarter scoring of anybody 2024 NFL season also really just eliminates any considerations for 2024 Eagles really to be considered but so high in all time elite greatness.
May 23, 20251 yr Potential was absolutely there. Talented roster was in place. Both sides of the ball learning in the first year their schemes clearly a disadvantage.
May 23, 20251 yr Does me wanting the 2024 squad to have just been unleashed instead of held back necessarily make me wrong? Never can prove it would have been right. Clearly opposite did prove it worked.
May 23, 20251 yr Not about stats and BS. Just looking at that talent. Can’t even be denied Siri chose to hold all that talent back. Things proving and playing out like they did in the biggest games did nothing but solidify this belief and understanding. Unleashed…easily could have been greatest scoring squad all time NFL history.
May 23, 20251 yr So if you believe 2024 Eagles could have been the greatest scoring team ever? Then how would just letting that talent produce and achieve at their highest have not been a great decision and choice?
May 23, 20251 yr They had that first quarter had scripted gameplan weakness. Otherwise…why hold back such an elite O complimented by a great D?
May 23, 20251 yr Obviously I’m on the harder side of the decision argument to be made. Because dialing back and playing not to lose worked.
May 23, 20251 yr Just now, cunninghamtheman said:Obviously I’m on the harder side of the decision argument to be made. Because dialing back and playing not to lose worked.All depends on how talented and great you believe they were…could have been?
May 23, 20251 yr Very key on my side of differing opinions about that decision is what occurred once that decision was reversed. When not playing to not lose. When unleashing our guys striving for their best. They proved elite and unmatchable. 50 plus points…considering the great D packed along side.
May 23, 20251 yr FL named it the KISS O. Many referred to it as choosing to be as risk adverse as possible. But why? List out the talent that O possessed. Why would limiting that O have been needed or chosen? From my vantage point if you give them a decent scripted gameplan and O scheme those guys were executing in? Just which O was more talented? Not just 2024 situation…but comparing all time I am daring to contend they stack up.

Not just 2024 situation…but comparing all time I am daring to contend they stack up.Think they at least are within arguably debatable comparing to anyone O ever at the worst. Maybe not all time best..but we had a great D paired with that.
May 23, 20251 yr I know it’s real difficult for some to fathom anything different could have been just as good or better decision than what Siri chose that got the job done and worked. But both could be true and have worked. Just because holding back playing not to lose worked….doesn’t prove anything against unleashing striving for greatness and their best would have failed or been worse.
May 23, 20251 yr I believe 2024 O was always capable of such greatness. Elite…best there was. That just letting the best…be the best…couldn’t have been matched. Playing and coaching for their best and greatness …playing to dominate understanding unleashing such incredible talent playing to win…dominate. Which in turn…couldn’t be matched or beat..also brings the results of not losing. Score 50 with a great D backing everything up was also a great way to achieve…if you can only wish to not lose.
