yes very low..its crazy how one player (hurts) can hold a team from reaching their full potential. 10 points on 3 turnovers is madness.

It's a week to week league.  Hurts didn't play well yesterday.   Doesn't mean he will play poorly this coming Sunday.  Unless Moore really wants the Dallas job and calls a horrible game hoping we lose so he can interview with Uncle Jerry first thing Monday morning.

No Zack Baun, Jalen Carter, Saquon Barkley, or Lane Johnson on this list makes me question it's legitimacy.

PFF as the author is what got me.

What is the confidence level in here about next week. My is fairly low

Not high after the wildcard game. Should be easy but Eagles will make it difficult

Fran went in on Moore today

This team, as presently constructed, needs a big WR that blocks well and is still a semi viable #3/#4 WR.

Using Smith as a lead blocker on slow developing pass plays at the LOS is just madness.  AJ Brown does it fairly well, but you still don't want to use your #1 WR as a fullback.

I get it...if you use anyone besides those two...ie Wilson...you are telegraphing the play.  If Wilson were utilized more as an actual target, then maybe you could get him out there in 11 personnel to set up and block some of these plays.  Or you have Calcaterra do it in 12 personnel, which I'm not sure I've noticed they've done with him in the past.

All I know is they do a bad job of setting up these plays.  

Every time I see DeVonta Smtih lead blocking, I just hold my breath.

BTW, that Slay INT was top shelf.  He has been playing so well teams are now going after Mitchell.

He's the problem.

He also pointed out some plays Hurts screwed up. One Barkley was open on another wheel route for an easy TD and Hurts already bailed the pocket. Didn't look to the right receiver on some others. But Fran didn't get the plan. Packers played cover 4, had 7 guys in coverage and Eagles were running sets with 3 receivers and then wondering why no one's open. Fran said on film, though Brown looked fine running routes, didn't think the 1 catch was due to the knee issue.

Posted this late last night and is still crazy to me.

Can see the wheel on play 5

The bar on QB play for this fanbase is so low it's alarming.

"6/13 for 39 yards in the first half, but no turnovers? Good half!"

High. Rams or Vikings don't matter. The Vikings haven't beat anyone this year, easy schedule. We already beat the Rams this year 37-20 in a dominant win. They did beat the Bills in a close game and the Vikings earlier this year. But they also lost to the Bears, Cardinals and Dolphins. They're a 10 win team. And they're dealing with the wildfire situation and playing Monday night with one less day of preparation. They'll have to fly across the country for a road game, and might be worn out after an emotional game tonight. 

The Eagles have the top defense, top RB, top O line, top WRs. The issue is how Hurts shows up. If he plays like some of his better games this year they can beat anyone. 

That's the point though. We can't win w/o Hurts. Hurts just isn't that good of a qb

One of a handful of times he threw at the top of his drop

I'm sure this was already posted, but Orlovsky is far from a Hurts defender.

 

There are multiple times he says "no one’s open” when there are, in fact, people open.  This is the NFL. A step means you’re open.

The most obvious example is below. The RB is WIDE open underneath with plenty of space for him to run into, catch, and then try to make a play for the first down, yet he says "no one’s open.”

Even worse, it’s 2nd and 4, so even if the RB is stopped short you have another 2 plays to get a yard or two.

Must be!

Like I've said before:

People have blamed Doug/Sirianni/Moore/Johnson for running the same offense year after year. The one constant has always been Hurts. Hurts directly said the offense is going to be what he wants it to look like.

People still can't figure it out. Harder to crack than the Da Vinci Code.

Yup its wild that were in year 5 of the hurts experiment and this is his first under center non play action completion.😮

Just a 3 step drop zip it out there on the quick out, solid throw and a tough one, im sure the Packers were super confused by that.

I know I was.

Surprised no one commented on this, but this is the dude that threw CJGJ out, right?  Yeah - we're definitely F'd for next week.

We just need to get his cell number. Find someone who can do a Goodell impression.  Then tell him that all of the calls go against the other team per League instructions.

Yet that was the only time they ran that play.

Which is why I said he needs to play better, like he did in some games this season. He didn't play well yesterday and they still won.
