That's why he gave the answer Now.... whether or not the guys got enough work in... that's a different story. But...." I don't know what that even means" bulls#$t ... you know exactly what it means. Siri is saying the starters got the work in during joint practice. That's what he means and you know it. You , me or anyone else can disagree if we want them to play.... but the answer implies the coach thinka they got work in during the practice....there is really no arguing that I don’t know what 89 plays in joint practice means. But I know it meant our starters weren’t going to play. Were they ever? Probably not. But better if Siri gets all the media and fan monkeys off his back and gives them a reason not to second guess him.

They played it pretty well. He whacked Ainias right when he caught it. Our D didn’t even bother to cover the guy…twice…with our starters…in the SB. Very similar play.

You have fans so desperate for football that they want to see players play. Nobody believes the few plays actually is going to help the starters a month from now.

And Weston Wilson hit for the cycle that night... only 10th time in the 142 years of the history of the Phillies organization that it happened But yay.... a 2 yard pass in preseason.

Regurgitating Siris quote about our record starting the last two seasons. You really …with a straight face…believe our fans and media won’t be questioning and second guessing Siri not playing starters if we have a poor start to the season?
August 17, 20242 yr Just now, cunninghamtheman said: Evidently plenty of people believe it helps to get PS game snaps. Lol....8-0 ... 5-0 ... Again...2 things 1. People want football so they want players to play 2. People love to complain. Nobody believes a few plays that aren't even run within real schemes...means anything.
August 17, 20242 yr If we have a snap or handoff error that is a turnover and we lose within one score..,you going to say it doesn’t matter? Or more importantly…you actually can’t possibly state the fans and media won’t be harping about not playing in the PS for a month…if not longer.

You really …with a straight face…believe our fans and media won’t be questioning and second guessing Siri not playing starters if we have a poor start to the season? What do you think? Do you think Bradberry doesn't hold in the Superbowl if the starters got a series in preseason? Mahomes superior play...and KC getting calls was affected by their preseason play? Or is preseason supposed to help right at the start of the season?

If we start off not sloppy and winning…we shouldn’t hear a peep. But if not….oh we will be hearing it. Siri himself said he regretted not playing the starters in the PS previously. Just very little evidence to support your statement here at all.

I believe the whole season is its unique journey for each team. OTAs…through to the SB.

I thought you don't want to be part of the " sheep" Would it really make you feel better to see Hurts hand off and throw an out pattern? You want him being subject to taking a hit in preseason? Didn't we get enough injuries Thursday?
August 17, 20242 yr 1 minute ago, cunninghamtheman said: I believe the whole season is its unique journey for each team. OTAs…through to the SB. Do you believe the 2024 Eagles chances of winning a SB go up if Hurts plays a series in a preseason game?
August 17, 20242 yr Is one game going to decide whether we win the NFC East or not? Seems to every year. Not just one right universal way to do things. Gotta have your team prepared for the season. Gotta have the depth chart sorted out and roster built well.

Again... do you think the Eagles chances of winning a SB would have gone up if the Eagles starters played in the 2022 preseason? Simple question

August 17, 20242 yr Just now, cunninghamtheman said: I sure hated the Jets getting that dirty hit on Hurts out of bounds last PS Just the first of much abuse he went through last season
August 17, 20242 yr Seems to me you really just make an effort to just bring something up to disagree with Siri. Why else bring it up unless you think Hurts playing a series would help win a SB.?
