We were up 10,so something was working. if we were down 10 you';d have an arguement. Your entire team doesn't collapse after the 1/2 with the same field conditions they had getting a lead built unless they changed the whole field out at 1/2 time

AR just went back to what worked in his original game plan.

See..." we" don't need understanding.   This is where you and I part ways... we don't matter.   

When I say "we”…I mean the team and Fangio.

That was my suggestion to be the difference in us being a legit contender all last season. Hindsight does nothing but look to back up my opinion there. That and a legit S addition. Both I was clearly voicing as my opinion before, during and after the season. LBing room was pathetic. Just kept pulling guys off the street. Myles Jack..,the former Vikings washed up guy two years straight, Leonard….on and on…our best LB last season still hasn’t even been signed. Our best guy in that while room…just sitting on the streets still. Comical…if I didn’t care about the Eagles.

It was sarcasm

If we would have made that trade,then you'd be bishing about how we don't have a pass rush :LOL

Yep,like I said we were outcoached,the field had nothing to do with it. Of course giving up a free 7 was also the bad field

Translation.." I'm a complainer but too much a " you use the insulting word" to mention what I would have done. 

Fangio and our staff would be looking at Reddick’s after a year in the D. Don’t  you believe that would matter?

Field was set up(well or badly) and both teams have to play on it. If it was so bad we would not have had a lead. We blew a 10 point lead in 30 minutes. if you know your strenght is your pass rush and the field is CRAP,you hold the ball on offense,which we FAILED TO DO

They held the ball on O…partly because of the field. Just no idea of any productive conversation to be had here if you can’t acknowledge the league was clearly against us and for Mahomes. Field…final penalty to end the game. The league robbed us. That’s my number one takeaway from that SB.

Yet it shouldn’t have been…it was much closer to the actual correct answer. Huge divide in opinions. You believe with no LB room we should have won it all. I thought we were a n 11 win team as it was.

Still need that LB…as in any quality LB…not just Queen. This offseason I was favoring signing Azeez. Either of those guys added would put me much closer to your high thinking of this years squad.

Field had nothing to do with it? I just can’t even grasp how you came to this conclusion. Did you watch the game? I mean everybody …everywhere was commenting on how everybody was slipping all over the place. On an indoor  stadium…in the SB. Pathetic. Watched decades of football…never seen anything like it. I’m convinced the league intentionally was pushing the Mahomes dynasty to sell. It wasn’t the Sodfather’s fault…he resigned because the league deliberately came in and screwed up the field. Those conditions and the situations are just glaringly obvious to me. Can’t understand how you don’t see it.

Maybe Fangio comes around on Reddick after he has that first season being productive in his scheme. We’ll never know because Rosie screed up the coaching situation so badly. Geez if Rosie at least just promoted our Secondary coach instead of what he ended up creating. I know you and FL(probably others also) blame Hurts for our terrible spiral to finish last season. But I see it revolving around that DC situation Rosie created mostly. Screwed up Fangio that was already in house. Then screwed up promoting Dennard….who went on to coach the Ravens Secondary to be lights out last season(now got his own DC job). Then hires Desai but also brings in Patricia setting up such obvious conflict. Then Rosie makes the call to demote Desai and promote Patricia. That’s when the whole team fell apart. Realized Rosie has all the power. Undercut all our coaches.

If you do or don’t do what Siri wants…will you still have a job with the Eagles? Probably matters very little.

But after all these screw ups getting us to this offseason…Fangio and Rosie didn’t want to pay Reddick. So we just bit the bullet on 21.5 dead money to give him to the Jets. Are we better having done so..,no I don’t think so. But do I see us as a strong contending team right now? No I don’t. So Reddick’s age is a factor. I see him similar as Saquan. Both players are win now decisions. With a window of next year…maybe 2026. 

Not terrible to be rebuilding when I think we could win our division and get to the postseason hosting a playoff game.

 Clearly focused on building the D under Fangio. He’s the more likely longer term coaching piece.

I’ve been on this treadmill of desiring a LB and S help. Every year

We've ALL been on that treadmill for years

QB coach was actually coaching Hurts today…in one small glimpse. Nussmeir…something like that is his name. I don’t even know who was our QB coach last year after the previous one was promoted to OC. Felt like all last offseason they just were trying to teach QB1 to not be aggressive and not to run with abandon take hits. Came off as a very negative. Important lessons for him to learn I won’t disagree. But didn’t really work very well whatever he was trying to be taught. 

Word is Jalen Hurts and all QBs looked like crap today. Hurts intercepted twice today. One being a pick 6 by Rodgers on a short pass.

I think Fangio knows... 40 years in the business... and it wasn't a quick decision, 40 years in the business, he was in no rush and took his time. How long was Reddick able to seek a trade?

Me it was specifically 2011, When they had $8 billion of cap space and I saw them spend on backups.... DRC, Steve Smith WR, Ronnie Brown... Vince Young ... 4 Pass rushers, the 3 DTS...  and went in with 2 rookie safeties  (2nd round Nate Allen and 7th Round Kurt Coleman)... 4th or 5th round LB Casey Matthews, teamed up with Jamar Chayney , Omar Gaether...  etc.

From that point, I realized the Banner/ Reid philosophy was no matter how much cap space you have, LBs just don't matter.  I think the two influences on Lurie still remain Banner/ Reid... Howie just brings in a youthful yes man that adds analytics and can handle the contracts in a way that makes the players happy.  I believe the way Banner lost Dawkins to Denver was it for Lurie... he didn't want Banner around anymore as the front man and never will lose a Dawkins, Kelce type again etc... for a few $$.  Actually went overboard the other way with Peters eetc.

Again with this dead money.... you need to start learning how it works.    Zero cap hit to trade Reddick.  They could have actually saved some cap space by doing it this year, but they took it all in one shot to save the full amount next year... because...and lets follow... it's the same cap hit whether he played here or not in 2024.  However, if he played here this year, then we would have an additional $13 million cap hit in the future.  

So the move... Having Reddick play this year would cost us $13 million plus a day 2 draft pick.  

We have our pass rusher here now... you could snap your fingers and give the Jets back the pick and take a $13 mil cap hit next year... would you do it for the Reddick you saw in 2023... with your eyes, not regurgitating stats.  Knowing he was going to be a year older.   

Plus... if you think he would be disgruntled?    Or you have to pay him more and take an even bigger cap hit?

For me... since I'm not a junkie or emotional , or looking to take a shot at the GM or coach every chance I get... I like the trade option.  I wouldn't give back the pick and take the permanent cap hit. Nor take away snaps from the young guys.  Not for the Reddick I think I'm going to get this year.  

But lets see if Huff, Hunt and smith can combine to create more than one turnover? Or 10 sacks.   Lets see if any of them make a play in coverage

Could have adjusted and figured it out last season. But really had the look of him eying Huff and Hunt so massively this offseason.

There just wasn’t an option we weren’t drafting Jalyx Hunt this draft as it all played out from what I’ve read and seen.
