An alphabetical list of the screen names of the folks who have submitted this week is as follows. If you don't see your name there, I don't have a prediction from you yet.

Barkley, who set an NFL record last year with 2,504 rushing yards and averaged 5.7 yards per carry, is averaging a pedestrian 3.3 yards per carry this year through three games, which ranks 23rd out of 29 backs with at least 30 carries.

And your point is?

He should, he has the best supporting cast in the league

You have been on repeat for the entire time Siri has been here. At some point you will put together the terrible lack of O scheme and coaching setting up any level of players doesn’t work. Well…”doesn’t work” isn’t completely accurate. Hardly ever works. Yet our guys have been the unique exception actually. They overcome this almost insurmountable obstacle so unbelievably.

About only one conclusion to arrive at…poor O setup(scheme, coaching, playcalling) plan

Oh I used to enjoy the return game. Who was that little dude the Bears used to have? He was electric

Devin Hester

Your statement argued that Hurts was the only leader. He is the tactical leader implementing the Offensive Strategy. Fangio leads by setting and adjusting the Defensive Strategy. You don’t need to be on the field to deliver that essential highest order, highest impact leadership. Then the position coaches and the players deploy the specific tactical steps that implement the strategy. Hurts has nothing to do with the setting of Fangio’s strategy, nor does he interact with the defensive position coaches on the sideline, and as I pointed out in my prior comment he isn’t on the field when the Defense is on the field, and those defenders aren’t on the field when Hurts is on the field with the Offense. So his role and actions are as the prime tactical leader of the Offense.

Regarding BG’s comment, he has said the same thing about Sirianni. It is a both/and situation/observation.

You are trying to cram a square peg into a round hole.

I call complete BS on this crap. He’s the leader of our whole team. Welcomes every single new player joining. He makes a point to always interact with D players…not just the O. It was right there happening….Hurts was going up to defenders as well as coaches. He inspires and leads by example. He works so very hard at all areas of his craft. He makes sure everybodies focus is squarely on winning the SB. I mean everybody wants to win it all….many say they are trying to reach the big game. Hurts at such a young age so uniquely came head on to very clearly define….it’s about winning championships. Not moral victories. Not playoffs…nothing less than champions. For a franchise had only won a single SB in all their years.

Being overlooked some how….is the teams confidence and faith in Hurts. After the abysmal crippling start to Siri HC performance….started his tenure so inept…this whole time since….this team believes they will find a way to win. For good reason….Hurts has lead them to an impeccable run of success. Unmatched in franchise history.

Dude, we have to stop their run game. All yiu do is mention receivers...why? Is the weather a factor for our pass coverage ... or does it fatigue our defense stopping the run?

We need to contain Irving, White etc....so that our defense doesn't get gassed and keep the game from snowballing on us like last year and the Arizona game at the end of 2023. Im not really worried about Chris Godwin catching 4 or 7 passes... that won't beat us. Irving rushes for 100 and White adds another 50... with the field being 120 degrees like it was last week.. that's a concern. Not Godwin

It’s almost a half right take here. Yes…gotta contain their rushing attack is most key. But…4 catches by Godwin would be the most they’d even strive for there. Several to Egbuka. That would be the exact production balance formula for their success.

See I took away you pretty much stating the Bucs game strategy would be to do what we were known so much for. Control clock…play it safe and keep it low scoring more than shutout.

Yeah.. I like to point out the big picture... the big picture is what matters

Yeah…you equate Hurts forced to just add lib playmake …as…well we scored these many points…so things must be rolling brilliantly scheme/plan/playcalling wise. Big picture….sounds like it would make sense…as long as you ignore the facts and all details. Facts and details were struggles ….setting up very unfavorable down and distance situations ….TO BE OVERCOME!

Hurts….AJ…whomever willing is to success overcoming such inadequacies …can’t just be ignored and glossed over. Exactly why you always miss what’s actually going on so much with our team. This is the glaring obvious obstacle going to be so difficult to overcome to go all the way this season.

We won the SB…returned almost the entire O personnel. Dream job setup…if you leave out considering it’s under Siri’s O. Couldn’t have asked for a better setup to lure in a top O mind OC. But…no…went with the break in case of emergency option in Patullo instead.

Exactly why you believed we were unstoppable best team at 10-1 before the collapse a couple seasons back. How could we not win that SB. Scoring points…10-1…yet I was right there telling you the problem existed. Details…..much more important than big picture.

I detest the kickoff. Put the ball on the 20 and play ball.

What’s to detest?

It doesn’t have to work the way you want it to in order for the team to win. Your addiction to fantasy thinking causes you to only think about 33% of the game. Winning is the result of the full 100%, not just the 33%. You have been on repeat with your deficient thinking and speculative fantasy for the entire time Sirianni has been here.

Probably context meaning the physical condition of our team at the end of 2023. You seem to always skip that in your life long pursuit of trying to make a case against Siri. You wanted to lose last year so we could fire him...because you don't like Italian people.

It was predictable weak O coaching…what was the condition of our team that we had to battle so hard to beat the giants? Then lost to them. The cards a 3 win team.

Now look at the beginning to this season. It’s bad dude! FL raves about personnel and supporting cast. So why is Saquan so much worse? Why would there be a struggle to feed AJ? Sick players…if you can’t figure things out with players of that talent level? You can’t perform the job.

Darren Sproles is still with the Eagles, but in an office job.

I call complete BS in your thinking with prejudiced blinders on. You need to take the blinders off and recognize that football is a team sport.

Again your thinking is pitiably narrow. You willfully choose to ignore that the opposing players and coaches come to play … and ideally win.

All that matters at the end is who has the most W's

How did you get to this conclusion after watching everything for so long? Getting the last W is all that matters. That team throws a parade. A 10-1 team weighted down by pathetic coaching did what for us in 2023? It proved just how embarrassing that situation actually was. Plenty of Ws that season….wasn’t even a slight chance they could win any playoff game. Vikings last season….tons of regular season wins in the least important games.

But yeah..we just aren’t watching the same sport. I prioritize completely different than you.

Except when two teams have the same number of Ws and are in the same Division or Conference.

Or except when a team with less Ws is victorious in the most important games that are win or go home.

SO if we lost to say the Wuss they aren't up on us 1-0?

If a 15 win team loses to a 9 win team in the playoffs….which one still has a chance to be referred to as Champion?

Not overlooked at all. Go back and read what has been consistently said by multiple posters here … Hurts is very clearly the on the field leader of the Offense. He is the decision-maker on the audibles. He is clearly the carrier/dispenser of a winning attitude both on and off the field … and off the field that example/message goes to all the players, all the coaches, all the front office, the owner, and all the world at large. However, for the Defense on game day, the opportunity to be meaningful more than Fangio and/or the key players is simply not there. The same is true for the Special Teams.

Further, he isn’t the only human being dispensing that "win first and foremost” message.

Take the wax out of your ears (eyes). The discussion has been about the value of an actual regular season win, not some hypothetical future Playoffs win.

That is a different discussion … expanding things beyond the singular value of one individual regular season game.
