They had 30 seconds and 3 timeouts against Seattle and needed a FG.

That argument doesn’t hold water. 

This isn’t blaming just the offense but they had their own part to lose the games. 

The Seattle game was a bad offensive performance. No question. Bad-bad. 

The lack of pass defense (rush/coverage) really shows up in those 2 minute drills though.

Our top 5 offense is putting our bottom 3 defense in bad spots? Math is hard.

Ranking is based on yards, not points. How many times over the last year has our great offense gone into the half only scoring in the single digits?

The offense absolutely plays a part in all this.

Gonna be a long hard season so be ready for at least 1-3. Guy can’t even win games he already won. Siri ceiling is wild card 

Whites just going to be this years Penny 

CJ absolutely going to blow someone up + miss a big tackle today. 

We can’t get pressure on the quarterback or stop the run, so let’s deactivate the LB that was the starter all camp.

Team continues to make mind numbing stupid decisions.  Unlikeable top to bottom

Yeah I don’t get it.  This defense likely has more talent than last year’s defense but has looked worse - and just as inconsistent.   
 

Hopefully Fangio gets it turned around - and fast.

Is it just me or are the Dolphins really just dumb seeing what happened to Tua a week ago and then throwing his ass on a plane to Seattle for no reason? 

That’s absolutely asinine

I thought I would stop by and see how my old pals on the EMB were doing. I did catch some highlights from the last minute loss and figured you all would be a bit upset. Still too early in the season ot be too upset though. That said while I really don't miss football that much I do miss the interaction in here with you guys. Hoping things turn around for you.

Holy crap!  What a wonderful way to start my Sunday!  An appearance by the Emerald Emperor himself. I say "How have you been!?!" but Connecticut beat me to it as I scrolled back to your first reappearance post on Friday.  It is good to hear that you are doing well and I personally hope we see more of youin the coming days and weeks.  You are very entertaining ... and a good friend to us all!

So far I’m already very underwhelmed with the season.

Sometimes you have to take a step back to really fix things. Nick, Hurts, and the defensive system aren't winning a SB. Howie also is bad at picking DEs.

It's a shame some of these issues were covered at the start of last year or maybe Nick would already be gone. I'm not rooting for them to get destroyed, but it could be good for them long-term.

They weren't really covered though, they played like ish since week 1. The warts were always there people just ignored them because they were winning

Don’t have a feel for this game.  The defense has to many issues.  Not sure they can stop The Little Sisters of the Mercy ground game at this point and the "tackling” is awful.  Good offense but too many mistakes.  Meanwhile, N’worlins has been cruising and has a good defense. 
 

Eagles 24

Sain’ts 34

Bonus  Moore draws up a pass for Stoll

Bonus bonus  During the pregame show, it is revealed that CJGJ injured his foot kicking in anger over his latest fine.

For the Bonus Bonus if anyone sees that happen plese let me know with an @mattwill tagged post.

I think Eagles play much better today.  Defense with 5 sacks and less than 115 yards rushing allowed.

More talent in the back 7, less in the front four. It shows why DL get paid more than LB and DB.

You talking about Saints defense ? 😏

Even if the Eagles get creamed, I still think on paper they have more talent than the Saints. I'm starting to wonder if the Eagles have talent development issues. I think Howie has had his share of major mistakes. But you telling me they can't get anything out of Davis, Carter, Nolan, Dean? Like, c'mon. And then I think of Barnett looking awful here, leaving, and looking good in Houston and I start to wonder if this team has issues developing talent.

Some teams seem to be very good at squeezing every last drop out of the talent they have and the Eagles it seems like they struggle to find ways to get the most out of their players.
