Despite those"Franchise scoring" records, we still dropped from 29 PPG to 25

We lost our good coach. Not sure how you keep missing and ignoring this factor. Steichen and first time OC. Made a massive difference in our season.

I love that Hurts is historically all time great at converting short yardage. Completely a positive for me. Ball hog all day long putting the ball in the end zone as far I’m concerned. Scoring TDs is the bane if the game. Hurts scored more than anybody ever for us. With a HC that has proven to not be good running the O and a first time OC we had to fire. That was something very special that happened last season.

They why didn't the PPG go UP or at least stay the same from the previous year?

I thought it was a franchise scoring record? How can that be when your PPG DROPS?. It was a record for ball hog Hurts,nobody else

Wisely spent $10.7 mil?  On a guy that they didn't know was worth it?

That's a brutal way to run a business.  

You never recover that money.  The alternative was to sign a Montgomery type ...you take a 3 or 4 mil cap hit, and you can use the other 7-8 mil for other stuff...or keep the cap space.

Your logic of " vetting" a guy you already had for 4 years by committing huge cap hit...is plain bad business. 

Terrible business decision and cap management all leading to a team that has been neck and neck with us the whole time. Should tell you a bunch about how our franchise is being run.

I GTG to the bank. back later

You don't " vet" players by giving them huge money first.  Better off committing then losing the player. 

Look at the Eagles... Wentz and Reddick.   I know this is difficult because the concept of dead money being used as a positive tool to get more cap space is something you don't grasp or choose not to due to your anti Howie agenda... 

But let's look at those two deals vs Tagging Pollard and Dak.

Both the Eagles moves... like $54 mil of dead money...but actually got back cap space.... also got back a 1st, 3rd and another 3rd possibly a 2nd round pick in return. 

Dallas...$43 mil to " vet"  Dak got hurt,  they paid him anyway at 2021 market value instead of 2019.   Pollard left anyway.

No picks back... still needed to replace Pollard and don't have a QB locked up after this year.

"Vetting" by paying is bad business.   Do it early, then you can get out of a bad deal if needed... if it hits, then you can keep on resigning the player early to keep cap hits low.

Idk... you think neck and neck...let's look at 2016 on...  that's when Howie took over... and Dak has been a Cowboy

1. Superbowl wins

2. Superbowl appearances 

3. Playoff wins

4. Playoff appearances 

Where do you see neck and neck?

Yeah what were you going to do? Hand it off to Gainwell or Swift? Call a guy whatever you want that sets our franchise record for scoring TDs. I’m all for it!

You need your QB running in TDs ?

That’s where they have just been pathetic. Terrible coaching holding them back postseason. But we held them back also by forcing them to play on the road in the postseason every other year we switch winning the division with them. But when you actually look into things: it’s been one game difference each season to win the division. If you don’t win the division you’re playing every playoff game on the road. One game difference between us and the cowboys for the division every year.

Rosie was in charge before that but lost his job basically. This was the start of Part Deux of Rosie.

I did instead of Swift and Gainwell at the goaline.

I just don’t see Hurts being historically great at converting short yardage as a negative. Other than he takes such massive extra abuse on these plays. Clearly wears on his body. NFL pileups are dangerous. You’d get arrested for doing what some of those guys do down there..anywhere else.

I'm comparing Howie vs Dak....I'm not even going into anything the last 27 years.... just this era.  It's not close for results.   

Dallas drafts better....that's it.   The rest isn't close...the results aren't close.

You did.  It was important on 1st and goal to sneak it in?

Well the rest of us see it a the team and mostly the OL.   But you know... let's not beat a dead horse here...it's sunny outside today... you think Hurts is the reason.   

I enjoy when our Eagles score TDs. Hurts did it best we’ve ever seen. Proud of him accomplishing that last season. It was despite all the crap he had to overcome doing it.

He’s not blocking the sun with his big head like your choice Wentz did instead

That's great...the little overachiever that nobody thinks could do it.   Hey little bro...you did great.   

It's a different world now.   No longer little brother.

Well... we shall see... one has a ring.
