I want to see how they do on an American football surface.  I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned, but they tried to bend around the edge and their feet just flopped out from under them.  I’m not sure if there was anything they could do about that.

TEs were handling Smith 1v1 with ease. It wasn’t pretty.

Sirianni...

It was sloppy, but we were able to perceiver.

 

I'm guessing we'll be spending the next ten days complaining about the victory. Aside from the idiotic interception in the endzone that Hurts threw, my biggest criticism was declining the penalty on the field goal in the closing seconds. Yeah, it put us up five, but I would have liked to move the ball to the two(ish) yard line and try a running play to win the game. If you're stopped, the Packers still have to move about seventy yards to win the game. PLUS, you don't run the risk of having to make a tackle on a kickoff.

Additionally, you could still try the field goal again, which you're 99% sure you're going to make. But in doing so, you'd be taking another three seconds off the clock. Three seconds in that situation is not insignificant.

I'm obviously very happy about the result but in some ways I feel like we "got away with one". We were sloppy with the football, and our tackling was atrocious.

I thought Quinyon Mitchell looked good.

Gonna be a fun weekend knowing we have the "W" already in our pocket.

Hurts did too many good things to be bad, but also did waaaay too many bad things to be good. There's a reason we scored 34 AND had 3 turnovers. He's very much part of both.

My biggest worry right now on offense is that we basically stopped under-center plays in the 2nd half. 

I didn’t see that but they did go to empty a fair bit.

no offense Rodney McLeod was a better player than Reed is right now. I’ll push it. I don’t think CJGJ is that great of a safety. I said it when he left. If you want me to push the narrative about other ones, I’ll go ahead and do it. I have no problem doing it. Frankly, I’ve been saying for years that Maddox shouldn’t be on this team and he shouldnt have gotten the contract that he got due to his issues. I think Jordan Davis is an OK starter. But if that pick was ever gonna work out for the Eagles, he needed to be better than OK. So far he hasn’t. So I would look to upgrade it this off-season if he doesn’t.

I actually agree on this to some extent, but the comparison is deeper than that. McLeod too was an undrafted player who went undrafted because of measurables, how was he at the same time in his career?

What I'm saying is, I think while McLeod was better, I don't think the difference is by all that much, and McLeod had already developed. Give him a chance to.

Also it's not really you that I have issue with. It's more that every day the board acted like CJGJ was the next Malcolm Jenkins until we signed him, and didn't acknowledge his notable number of flaws as a safety. You kind of have to have 'solid' starters on the team somewhere, there's really nothing wrong with that.

Our pass-rush wasn't bad. We hit Jordan Love a ton. We just didn't get sacks. 

I hate giving excuses on almost sacks, but this surface is probably grounds for it.

The field was sloppy…worse than the SB field.  That was part of it too

Cam Jurgens was very good today. I even thought Becton played well. The OL on the whole was quite good, Stoutland coming through again.

I think the CJGJ critiques are overcorrections. He is a superstar? No. But he has range, is not afraid to stick his nose in and lay someone out. I think this game was just a bad game for fast quick twitch players because of how slippery the field was. It benefit down hill players.

Blankenship actually makes tough plays on the ball. CJGJ benefits from great plays by others. 

Glad to see a couple are noticing what's really going on, yes. CJGJ benefits from situations where he doesn't have a lot of distinct responsibilities he absolutely needs to fulfill. It especially helps when you have one of the best sacking pass rushes in NFL history like we did a few years ago.

With the issues that Jurgens/Hurts were having it wasn’t worth it IMO. Glad they took the points with Packers having 0 timeouts.

Wonder how this would have ended without the mystery holding call on Alexander.

yeah that FG situation really felt like it was handled wrong. I did not like it 

The first four games of any season is the "shakeout cruise."

And forget the pre-season BS, AR ran tough camps but most of his teams had slow starts, then kicked ass down the stretch.

We won, we learned, we'll move on.

And for all of Hurts' mistakes, they scored 34 points against a good team.

He's a safety. He has to be able to fulfill the needs of the position, including being able to tackle reliably.

Jordan Love was getting top 10 love before today's game. I get he was a bit banged up, but Jalen was better today.

Those two INT were absolutely god awful.  Just an atrocious lack of ball security all game.  Hurts needs to be far better than he was tonight; Packers inability to score TDs near the goal line was the biggest factor in the Eagles getting the win.

Yep, Sirianni threw too many interceptions, and called too many pass plays.

Might be time to retire the tush push or at least limit it to every so often. Just seemed like it’s not going to be the same.

They should have declined the penalty and then kicked the FG again. Free three seconds off the clock. Going for it would have been bad. 

Run the offense thru team leader Saquan 

Guy is the truth

It's tough.

The play that Jordan Love got hurt on turned into a 4 yard run. Counts as a QB hit in the stat sheet, but not a sack. We had 5 QB hits officially. They didn't count one of Graham's. 

Monday feels like a long way away.

Ill be at the game if anyone wants to fight.

I may have grown out of my nick foles pro bowl jersey, but Ive got to see if I can wear that thing for his retirement game.
