Running up the points? See..ok…yes…I believe we should run up the points…but not in the manner you seem to be stuck limited to consider. Not about running up the shore in garbage time. Not talking about that. But am stating running up the score…as in…unleash the O potential. Right from the start of the game. Believe unleashing the potential of this O makes us just as difficult to beat any given Sunday….in fact…even more difficult to just stay competitive with us.Points on the scoreboard are points on the scoreboard regardless of what period they are scored in. Do you think the Chiefs felt the Eagles were running up the score with the Dagger?
July 21, 2025Jul 21 15 minutes ago, mattwill said:Absolutely. The players aren’t currently in the targets game. It is the other owners and the Commissioner that appear to have it out for the Eagles. But running up the score is a direct affront to the players. Unnecessarily getting the players invested in the targets game is a fool’s errand.You still are stuck limited to only considering running up the score in garbage time. That’s not what I’ve been saying or talking about though. Starts in the first quarter….my thoughts I’m sharing. You need to step back and just open up your horizons so much more. What happened in the SB and NFC Championship games? Exactly what I was talking about the entire time. Not like I have to try and just create some fictional version of a game scenario to explain my pony any longer. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!! We didn’t do it by running up the score either….actually took out starters at the end. That’s where I don’t get how you can’t understand this anymore.

July 21, 2025Jul 21 31 minutes ago, mattwill said:Your obsession with generating Offensive points ignores three key realities (1) points margin does not figure anywhere into the NFL standings. (2) the Eagles had the second largest scoring margin in the NFL 10.9 points per game, behind only the Lions at 11.6. Increasing it gains nothing. (3) opponents really hate and remember teams that run up the score. Why piss off the rest of the League?See things might be different if we really needed to protect our D. But with our D what are you so worried about?
July 21, 2025Jul 21 To me…anywhere near maximizing our O would have us in elite All Time team conversations. Most all pieces are in place to where it could have been a reality. But O coaching situation killed any chance at making that.

July 21, 2025Jul 21 To be frank, I don’t even think you should include the SB in any discussions about running up the score anyway. The biggest game in the land…supposedly versus the best. SB you should lay everything you got down. You should run up the score as much as you can in the SB. Totally different situation than any other game. SB is pinnacle. You should lay down everything you can for that SB history. The championship game is all time NFL history….team and individual. How many years will team and players SB production be talked about and relevant? Feels like eternity in this moment. It’s the SB…there should be no calling off the dogs in that particular historical moment. Do everything you can…in every way.
July 21, 2025Jul 21 Clearly we didn’t run up the score on the Chiefs though…we benched our starters…in the freaking SB. That’s exactly and all I’ve been suggesting the entire time. Run up the score from the beggining…just unleash our potential is all….not talking padding stats in garbage time. But…if I was talking about padding stats in garbage time? It would be in the SB. I have no problem with it in that game. Supposed to be a matchup between the best of the best…for all the marbles…no such thing as running up the score too much there. Not like humiliating the Browns or something week 3. Why call off the dogs in the SB? Pay everything you’ve got on the field in the ultimate game. If the opponent can’t complete? That’s a ‘They problem.”

Works for me. Going to AJ just really feels like more of a good call…than too risky.

How many teams are capable of just flat out keep up with us? I know it’s very difficult for you to wrap your head around…Because hey…what happened worked…enough anyway. But doesn’t mean the alternative wouldn’t have worked. Put up 50 points…with the D we possess. Feels like that’s actually a less risky situation to me.
July 21, 2025Jul 21 Just because something was ‘enough’…doesn’t equate to ‘best’. In fact…feel like my point was exactly proven correct finally when we needed it at the end. We did it what I was/am suggesting right there in the NFC Championship game and SB. Who was beating us playing like we were in those two games? Just doing exactly what I was suggesting. Felt like the best version of our team to me.

Don’t coach and think..‘don’t make mistakes’…don’t throw interceptions.’ Coach what’s the right way to attack and achieve greatness. Don’t play focused so much on ‘don’t lose.’ Focus on determined you can’t be beat and will win.

You don’t think the SB beatdown isn’t generously going to be plastered on the locker room walls leading up to Week Two this season? The Eagles embarrassed the Chiefs players and they are mad as hell about it.

There is no way to intelligently compare the current Eagles team with Lombardi’s Packers of the 60s, or Noll’s Steelers, or Johnson’s Cowboys, or Walsh’s Niners. Brady’s Patriots are at least in a comparable era, and to be in the same conversation as their six Super Bowl wins, we have a long way to go.

Put up 50 points…with the D we possess. Feels like that’s actually a less risky situation to me.The first four games of 2024 are ample evidence of the downside risk of a passing-centric game plan. You are forcing you O-Line to take their first step backwards when the ball is snapped instead of firing out and laying the wood on the defenders. That isn’t playing to your strengths. It is letting the opposing D-Line lay the wood on you.About a week ago I reposted here in this thread a question that a Blogger asked the Blog. You never answered that question, so I’ll ask it again. Who do you think is more important, the Quarterback or the Offensive Line?

That one game…I’m just not buying in to "supposed to” or "need to” hold back. This isn’t running up the score on a weak opponent…or short handed team…it’s the ultimate top level. In the SB…you can compete or you can’t…can’t ask anybody to slow down because you’re too good in the championship. That’s the best opponent can face…
