I was fully expecting a run and my heart sunk when I saw Hurts rolling out to pass...my first reaction was "wtf are they doing?!"  But, if Barkley catches the easiest of passes, game over.  It was an aggressive "win the game" play call with the fail safe of Hurts eating a sack and running the clock down before kicking the FG.  Can't fault the logic.  Players have to make plays.

That said, this team has major concerns.  The offense looked lackluster without Brown last night...so missing one player and the O downgrades significantly.  Hurts again made another ill-advised throw to end the game...they needed about 17 yards at that point for a decent long FG attempt, but Hurts decided to make that throw.  Idiotic.

The defense is flat out terrible again.  Bryce Huff is stealing money, Carter/Davis are non-existent, zero pressure on the QB, can't stop the run, can't defend a pass except for Mitchell.  Where were the LBs this game?  Just awful.  Hard to know if it's scheme or talent or both.  

Very real chance we will be 1-3 at the bye week, particularly if Brown remains out.

Change his name to Bryce NUFF because he has nothing to prove and was a non-factor, just like his number 0!!! And where's Haason Reddick when you need him???!!!

And once again, the OC and Sirianni should've called for a run, regardless of how many yards Saquon would've gained due to the game clock. The Eagles were playing checkers when they should've been playing chess and focusing on the game clock and notching another hard earned win as opposed to risking it all on a dropped pass. It's on Moore and Sirianni, not Saquon!

I agree! Saquon has to make that catch. You know that, we know that and he knows that. But the mistake was in calling a pass play in that situation. Run the ball and in all likelihood you gain a yard or two, you take more time off the clock and you give yourself a decision as to whether to go for it on 4th down.

Reddick wanted a payday that we couldn't give him. And now he's pouting and not playing. So bullet dodged..

This post did not age well!

I’m not sure about that… Would Reddick help this defense? Yeah but he’s an older guy who wanted a mega contract.

It’s not two games. It’s the Philosophy thay lost us a Super Bowl. The same one that had us lost 6/7 last season, and the same one that makes us play down to our opponents constantly. 

I don't factor in the prior season, because last season was last season. I think we lost the SB due to a poor field, zero holding calls against the most penalized OL in the league for holding, and a BS call on us at the end.  Well the counter is that's also the same philosophy that even got us to a SB.

Anyway, last year was last year, it has nothing to do with this season.

Here's 2 things I saw concerning the INT, 1) there was pass interference against the Falcons, when Smith broke to the sideline the DB pushed him in the back forcing his break to the sideline to be further up than he wanted it.  2) Smith should have try to make a play in the ball once he knew it wat thrown, had he did chances are the pass would have been incomplete or possible interference against the S.

Still, forget about the hero ball and get in position to kick the game winning FG.

I agree, there was def PI, but we're not the Chiefs, we won't consistently get those calls.   I honestly didn't mind the call to pass to Barkley, however, I really was just hoping they wouldn't try to get too cute or outsmart ATL. I was all for just handing it off to Barkley on 3rd, and if close, tush push on 4th down. If you get the 1st, game over, if you don't, at least they're pinned deep and there's not a lot of time left.  I also didn't think the defense would just give up a TD so quick and easily either. It reminded me of the Seattle loss last year.

Hughes the CB was dressed for the game, but did not play any snap.  What gives?  His hand injury still bothering him?  Or the coaches did not trust him?

It was one step up from game in Brazil when he was inactive.  So, one more step up next game?

After reading your reply..I agree completely. But it hurts to hear the truth.  Another waisted  year  upcoming. I wish the owner would  give Howie  permission  to trade Siri,  one of the winningest coaches in Eagles history..... to another team, for a  bag of popcorn.

I hope I’m wrong, but this is why they should have fired Sirianni. Keeping him here does nothing, but make the next two seasons transition seasons , because it’s not likely the next guy comes in with new people will come out swinging. Jalen has only been outstanding after having consecutive seasons with an OC yet he’s likely going on his 4th OC in 4 seasons. I hope I’m wrong though.

Siri, what was the worst loss in Eagles history ?

” Giants 56, Eagles 0, October 15 1933.”

@mattwill

Saints 57 Eagles 0  it’s going to be ugly.

I don't think it's going to be THAT bad. 35 or 40 to 15 or 20 Saints wouldn't be a surprise.

Just my way of venting, hoping defense can figure out how to stop the run and put Saints in 3rd and long.  Think offense will hold there own.

lol. Forcing 1 incompletion, 0 punts, 0 3rd down stops, 0 turnovers, 0 sacks and we’re still blaming the field/holds? Lol. Sorry for quoting you it’s probably not best to go back and forth with that type of ideology. 
 

To think staffs and seasoning don’t mean anything once they start is odd. But hey that’s on you. I’ll keep noticing the same things while others bury their head in the sand and act like evening is isolated and nothing is wrong haha

That field absolutely played a factor in why the defensive line got no pressure and also allowed Mahomes to escape the pocket.  You don't have to take my word for it, just look at Reddick's post game interview when asked "is that the worst field you've ever played on?"

I'm sure you're also aware that in the 3 SB's the Chiefs have won, they had 0 holding calls against them?  They were the most penalized team last year in regard to holding, yet somehow didn't get flagged for it once in the SB??  

I think the defense played pretty well overall, as there were a number of obvious holds not called against ATL, but they definitely stunk on that final drive.  Anyway, please whine more about how bad the team is after 1 loss.

Howie isn’t punting on this season, too much $ invested…start identifying a pass rush trade target …

Agreed he isn’t going to punt on this year and certainly not just yet. But his in year trades are not the best.

We haven't moved on yet??!!!
