Bucs doing a nice job without their top 2 WR's too. We have top WR's and can't get them any stats to speak of

Was listening to Baldy on the Anthony Gargano show - would love to have beers with Gargano, Baldy and Kelce! We do lead the league in 3 and outs, unfortunately. I do get it, at least somewhat. We've steered away from zone reads/read options as Hurts took a lot of hits last yr on those and we're protecting him, rightfully so. I'm assuming we'll see them mixed in more in the playoffs. Our OL isn't as good or stable as last yr, causing Barkley to have to run more outside the tackles, but the Jumbo sets are helping with that.

After quickly running through the game again, Hurts didn't throw to an open AJ at least 3 times. Supposedly the throw to the EZ late was not on the coaches, but something Hurts and AJ cooked up. If true, at least they're working together, but a dope play either way at that point of the game.

This stuff - or the slippery field - doesn't absolve KP of this miserable O. Doubt it's just me who expected some changes after the bye, but it felt like regression. This guy doesn't seem to have an ounce of creativity or guts.

So let me get this straight, Eagles at leading the NFC with a conservative offensive game plan again that focuses on limiting turnovers. They can burst when they need to do so. They showed that in the playoffs last year and in their two games before the bye. But Barkley isn’t running for 2,000 so Patullo, Barkley, AJ and Hurts must suck. That’s what I am reading and because of that we should chuck it all. Eagles were conservative to end the half so bad but not conservative at the end of the game, so bad. Conservative bad/not conservative bad. Got it, I just think this is flawed reasoning.

AJ isn’t being critical of the playcalling, folks, he is self scouting. The hammy is frustrating. None of you ever had to battle through a frustrating issue that you could not control. Your body letting you down.

That said, the conservative playcalling is hurting the running game a bit. The rawness of Patullo is hurting a bit too. But the play is getting better.

Two teams played in February. Eagles got the best of every division as a result and also got two of the toughest divisions in football at the same time. The process is working but some want to scrap everything. I don’t follow that reasoning. Get better everyday is a great winning philosophy.

If it was a "conservative" offense Bark WOULD be rushing on a 2000 pace(not close). Bigs and Ship would have some stats. Don't confuse "conservative" offense with "lack of" offense. Limiting turnovers is great, but you also need to score too. There are no points given for moving the ball unless it's across the GL. AJ, one could call, officially disgruntled after his little, latest tirade which he has hinted about earlier, and I really didn't want to see us have diversions like this. Ham claimed Hurts brought him in and it appears Hurts wants him out because he is ignoring him(some friend eh?). Hurts has failed to throw to an open AJ how many times now? No slot production either. I was saying before most these WR's wants stats, to be noticed, recognized, ego boosted, whatever you choose to call it. Luckily our D is closing down opponents to this point, at a slightly better pace then opposition is shutting us down, but let's not confuse this with the offense we had last year. Guys like Darius Cooper will be wondering if they will get any looks if stars like AJ aren't. IDK, maybe I expect too much. Or maybe others make too many excuses. everyone has their own opinions. They key for me thus far is the beat up O line. The BU's are playing well, but the ARE BU's for a reason, but it seems to me Patullo hasn't adjusted for this. He's running the plays assuming this the same healthy line from last year. It's not. Maybe that is the problem???? IDK just my take. On the the Lions who will require much more effort

Really... you watching these teams? Denver offense looking consistent? Bucs just lost again. Colts just lost last week. Pats offense surely isn't consistent. Rams lost to us. Seattle beating up bad teams.

Are you really more confident in Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones, Drake Maye and Bo Nix than the Eagles?

I think your bar is lower for those teams and when they look bad or lose you just skip over it.

For the Eagles...it needs to be score every possession while throwing a shutout or we complain.

But we beat 2 of the teams on your list. Idk which team has had a more difficult schedule. Throw in playing in road games at 100 degrees and then 20 degrees within about a month's time difference and winning both games.

IDK lots of mistakes,so I think the above is a bit harsh. I do understand his frustration. I'm giving Patullo another shot vs the Lions. There is zero way Moore comes back,he's dreaming LOL

Only 1 rookie WR doesn't help much. How would we do if we only had Dotson?(and he's not even a rookie)

They all get their WR's and TE's involved. We can't or won't do that. AJ's stats are almost non existent.

I don't think this way but we can barely execute the 5 plays we run. The D is keeping us in games as they have all year. That doesn't excuse the lack of offense IMO.

97.5 radio isn't very happy either. I saw their vid(can't hear it) IDK what WIP says,but obviously you can bash me but I'm not alone. AJ is going to quit busting very soon. he will go though the motions because he is paid to. There is no "fire" on this team. IDK how we win as pedestrian as we are. Just like the above link I thought Patullo had it sorted, but the GB told me otherwise. yeah we won, but we looked HORRIBLE on offense. Let's see what happens vs Detroit but I'm not holding my breath

Right....we have better players so we are a better team....I agree.
