I will add... Hurts accomplished these numbers... without being captain check down. He isn't just throwing easy passes, more so being selective of when he actually throws for the bigger plays

Last three games, the Eagles have converted just six of 30 third downs, which is insane. That’s 20 percent, and that’s the 6^th-worst three-game third-down percentage over the last 36 years, which is as far back as Stathead goes with 3^rd-down conversion figures

Almost like our OL is putting us behind the chains when Saquon is getting hit in the backfield 50% of the time…. Only Jeanty is getting his behind the line of scrimmage more.

The injuries on the OL are not spoken about enough either as a factor in the offense…. Landon is clearly not 100%, Lane has been banged up in and out, Jurgens has missed time… Steen has been alright but you can tell he isn’t the same as becton especially in the run game.

I was really hoping that we kept Becton. I wasn't happy when they let him walk

Mailata also seems like he slacked off. IDK the "attitude" is missing

Mailata said "we are one block away"(from springing Bark). Well MAKE the BLOCK

Have to look at the penalties as well how many plays have we had called back? Good play calls for big gains negated… so instead of a short yardage or even a 1st down we are behind the sticks…

Toth was the one taking 1st team reps at C this week so likely he'll get the start. I'm more in your ballpark thinking that Dickerson should be moved to C and Pryor at LG

I’d turn to Kendal at C

It all matters. Witnessed plenty of great players underachieving because of coaching.

Yours. You deny any blame on coaching…especially Siri.

What is the red zone percentage?

So let me guess...you attribute EVERYTHING negative to the coaching... and everything positive to Jesus Hurts?

All has to work together…why can’t you see that?

Sure isn’t a check down guy. He’s super efficient. Which is what’s really important. Much more than big yardage numbers.

Saquan not hitting the holes as well either though. Just like the SB

See everybody isn’t thriving on O. Explain to No Mas how that can’t be obviously coaching flaw.

Who would be responsible for our O not being crisp?

Just like the SB where everyone stated the KC D focused on taking away Saquon stacking the box which opened up passing for for Hurts…. But again facts don’t lie over 50% of the time Saquon is getting hit behind the line that has nothing to do with hitting a hole he is getting hit before he even has a chance to hit them

The position coaches, the injuries, the leader of offense Jalen Hurts…. It isn’t just one person to blame

Only one RB ONE!!!!! Is getting hit in the backfield more then Saquon and it is the raiders yet ham going to try and blame that on Saquon lol…. But then make 100000000000000000x plus a billion excuses for Hurts just comical

9. Jalen Hurts Stat of the Week: Hurts already this year has increased his career passer rating from 93.7 and 22^nd-highest all-time to 94.9 and 18^th-highest all-time. His passer rating is now higher than 25 of 27 quarterbacks in the Hall of Fame. All but Steve Young (95.7) and Peyton Manning (95.6).

Have you witnessed any great coaching win without great players? I've seen great players win with who i wouldn't consider good coaching...Barry Switzer...but never have I seen a coach win anything without the players.

The point is... without the offensive line making the blocks....there is no " great o mind " that would matter.

So the QB should get blame for the negative things as well.

Right...they coach him to his strengths ...one of them is avoiding the bad play.

They absolutely helped him develop into the player he is....not "despite" the coaching.
