WTF!!!!

I dont think that is correct. He was the ref in the Chiefs game last year. And Packers game in 2022. We are 2 - 1 in the last 3 games ref'd by his crew.

Ok. What I want to know is what they did as part of it? Dude went into the stadium with a body cam. You don't do that unless you are looking for trouble and clicks on social media. Was she talking trash? Did the camera guy antagonize? What led up to that? Seems like there was more leading up to gotcha "I've got it" moment. 

Yeah I think the Packers fan is a D-less little weasel.

But I gotta say, it's hilarious that Eagles fan worked at a DEI consulting firm 🤣🤣🤣

Barstool must read the blog.

The better comparison for Hurts would be 2002 Brad Johnson for Tampa. Dilfer was terrible. Johnson was efficient for Tampa who played well, not out of this world, and rode the coattails of his defense. Hurts almost has identical passing stats to Brad Johnson in 2002 (with three less games). 

I don’t think Hurts has been efficient, QB rating be damned.

 

 

 

 

Jason Avnat echoes Dan O.  Kellen Moore needs to do better.  Maybe he should focus on doing his damn job instead of his next job.

Offense has been predictable the past 2 seasons, there are 2 constants. Moore's biggest problem is he doesn't use saquon in the red zone, I'll never understand the rationale there.

Siri is the constant for me. He loves those outside throws where Smith blocks, seen that before Moore got here. He also loves Gainwell as the red zone back. Been that way before Moore too. Some of our issues seem to have Siri's grimy fingerprints all over it.

We also don’t use aj brown in the red zone enough either. He had 11 red zone targets in 13 regular season games.

Yet his stats are virtually identical to his 2022 SB season, just with less volume since we now have a stud 2000 yard rusher in the backfield.

Mahomes averages 285 and 2+ just through the air in the playoffs, is a first ballot HoFer and has won multiple SBs.

What are we doing here, guys?

"It's okay if Hurts goes 6/13 for 39 in a half moving forward because Mahomes beat us in a Super Bowl!"

Both sides have extremists, but let's stop this nonsense

I’ve screamed at the TV quite a few times "he was open, damn” after a Hurts pass.

Three types of lies…

Hurts was just ok last game, he wasn't terrible.  The OL wasn't great in pass protection.  The playcalling was stupid.

And on top of that, he's not going to make risky throws. Not when the Eagles immediately get a lead, the defense is playing well, and the opponent is trailing by two scores most of the game. He's just not going to do it, so get over it.

When he needed to make throws, he did and the Eagles scored.

Yes he made a few poor plays. I didn't like his E/W running and thought he left some yards on the field.  His insistence on taking sacks instead of just tossing the ball into the bleachers drives me crazy. 

But no turnover-worthy plays, good decision-making, and a comfortable win.  

 

The coaches need to adjust to teams applying pressure, it's the only thing defenses can do to try and slow down the offense.  Put Gainwell and Saquon on the field at the same time, spread the field, go max protect, work on some RB draws or some screens.  

Dealing in absolutes is the way of the Sith..😅

It's odd but the NFL has skipped the Super Bowl in three different seasons. 1980, 2004 and 2022. I just hope that they NEVER skip another one.

Also Bob Griese, Phil Simms, Jeff Hostetler, Bart Starr, Len Dawson, Jim McMahon, and Joe Flacco.

This is a very different era from pretty much all of them.   I have no issue with a 'game manager' at QB.  The issue comes when you are paying the game manager at stud levels and nearly 25% of the salary cap goes to him... and you are staring down a free agency where you are in danger of losing a stud RG (with OT versatility), stud DT, the ILB they've desperately needed for about a generation, etc.   If the Qb were getting paid at the same level as those guys (as a percentage of the salary cap, even though there was no cap for all but one of them), then I don't think we'd be having the same discussion.  

 

But, that's a discussion for the offseason.  For this week the discussion needs to be on Hurts AND Moore getting it straightened out.  IMO, we have a top 2 or 3 duo of WRs, a top 10 TE, top 2 at worst OL, and the best RB in the NFL.   The offense shouldn't have stagnation like we've seen.   That comes down to either the QB or the OC, or some combination, as I see it.  They need to get it fixed for this week, next week and 2 weeks after that.

He threw for 5200 yards and over 40 TDs that year.

Hurts threw for under 3000 this year.

Let’s not compare them, because they are absolutely nothing alike.

They both wear a '1' on their jersey!

**** how many red zone passing plays did we even have all year? We had a lot of long play tuddys and a f ton of brotherly shoves.
