Watching tape, breaking down their games, and learning from their mistakes will benefit this team as they come together in understanding the offense and defense, as the season goes on. They should improve every week.

Defense leaves a little more to be desired 

The Eagles could greatly improve their defense by keeping Maddox and C.J. Gardner off the field, not sure where Maddox was playing and I don't care, keep him off the field, matter fact, cut his arse, he's a huge liability where ever he plays, as for C.J. Gardner, he isn't worth a damn, they need to put Ringo back there for the time being.

Replay starting right now on NFLN.  

Aiiiight. time to move on to the next game. Hopefully, the Eagles get better in all phases. There were a lot of good things that happened during this win. Imma leave the negative stuff that happened behind- time to build on this win. E-A-G-L-E-S....EAGLES!!!!

I mean so many factors that caused issues in this game. Traveling to Brazil, the refs, the field, lack of preseason games, and new coordinators. You saw the rust and the mistakes, but somehow they still put up 34 points and put up a game sealing drive for the win. It would have been a chef’s kiss of a drive if it weren’t for that darn fumble. Why not just give the ball to Barkley there?

I'm growing concerned for hurts. I'll let it be for the first game and being new offense and all but, man he does not read the field well

There were a lot of plays out there that looked concerning, but again there are a lot of things that attributed to this game. Again if he’s doing this type of stuff against Atlanta I’m getting very concerned too. 

I'm concerned with Hurts' play. I think he made a poor read or the wrong read on every single RPO last night. Or maybe GB somehow magically were able to cover all 3 threats every single time. When he kept the ball he had nowhere to run. When he handed it off there was wide open space for him to run. Not sure about the receiving option as much, but it didn't look good.

At least the Oline and weapons on offense looked amazing (outside of a couple center exchanges). And the defense looked great for the most part.

The RPO is a college play/system that Chip Kelly brought to the NFL. NFL defenses have it figured out. The Eagles have struggled running it for over a half season, then again last night.

Ball up the RPO and throw it in the trash, as I heard one guy put it on youtube. Burn it. Get rid of the RPO- it no longer works in the NFL.

Agreed, this was the first game our starters all played together and it showed. But they won and have a lot of game tape to watch and improve on.

It might work better if Hurts could read a defense and not look like he's stuck in Quicksand. 

Hurts made some great throws from the pocket. Hopefully he'll keep doing that. The TD pass to Barkley was unreal. Our secondary kept Green Bay in the game. Packers also ran to the left almost at will.

This is who he's (almost) always been. Remember the Tampa coach in his first playoff game going on about how he can't read? 

2022 was an anomaly thus far. Many around here don't seem as though they want to acknowledge that. He played extremely well and then extremely well in the Superbowl. Lo and behold he had a dumb fumble when no one touched him and we lost. He was far from the reason, but that fumble was 7 points the other way.

Fast forward to last season. We were winning games, but Hurts (and the entire team) didn't look good. He turned the ball over a lot. We all know the rest, they had the greatest collapse we've seen and got murdered in the playoffs. 

Now we start this season off and he looks similar (again) to the player he was last season. Teams are going to continue to try and make him beat them from the pocket because for the majority of his career, he hasn't been able to do so consistently. 

As he did in his rookie season, he still looks skittish in the pocket. He still rolls right constantly. He (like last season) tossed some of the dumbest interceptions I've seen him make. He very easily could've thrown a couple more. He still has a fumbling problem (one was on Jurgens, the other went through his hands). He plays too much hero ball. Sound familiar? We killed the last guy for it..and rightfully so.

He will still make some great throws and use his athleticism to make plays, but there's a lot of bad mixed in. Too much to go the distance. 

He still has time, but it's starting to run out. The team shouldn't be all right with the same bad habits and neither should the fanbase. He needs to get his head out of his ass and he needs to do it sooner rather than later.

That's very true. He did look slow with everything he did. 

Hurts has never had great speed, like Lamar Jackson or Michael Vick. But Hurts did have some elusiveness to his game. It seems like that is mostly gone now though. 

Hurts should have played two to three quarters in preseason. You can't simulate on field conditions or the speed of the game in practice. Then you throw him cold in a playoff level game in a hostile environment.

You whiny bytches should be thankful you have J.Hurts.😏smh

The speed doesn't look like it is there because he was making poor reads and had no space to operate. Nearly every run had a bunch of defenders in his path, except for the play or two where the pocket broke down and he was able to escape the pocket in wide open spaces.

I think Hurts can still run just fine. Last year he had an injury. But the reads from the 2022 season just haven't been there last season or game 1 this season.

I'm concerned. 2022 looking like more of an aberration. Hoping that isn't the case though.

 I will agree that the first game was a circus atmosphere full of errors and F Ups. But it was the same for the opposing team.
I cannot stop laughing how they were drilling sneakers on the sidelines during the first 5 minutes with the new clits… Players slipping and sliding. lol 

it is not worth picking on individual players. Coaches did not check the field? Wtf? Ugly , ugly win.

Field had a lot to do with it. The field was a joke.

I wouldn’t call myself whiny, but you have to admit some of the decisions Jalen made out there were questionable. Throwing against his body in the RedZone led to an interception and a loss of three. Taking that really bad sack at the end of the first half. Twice he basically threw the ball to Packers players. In this game his judgment was poor. The radio said Jalen has 17 ints, and 12 fumbles (not all lost) in 20 games. That is Jalen being way too loose with that football. Just can’t have that to be successful in the league. That’s not to take away many of the positives Jalen has done, but he can’t keep putting the ball in harms way as often as he has lately. Frankly the only reason people aren’t killing Jalen on the level they killed Carson near the end, because Jalen for the most part wins games. If the winning stops then he’s fair game.

If the winning stops he's gonna hear the same thing Nick heard, "You're done Jalen, you're done!!"

Technically the winning never stopped with Nick. I did stop with Wentz though.
