Ohh Philadelphia. The place where starting QBs go to die and the backups are revered. Until they become the starter. Rinse. Repeat.

This is not to absolve him of having a bad game. He absolutely did. But man you guys really hate the starting QB of the Eagles. There is never any give unless he throws a perfect game and even then it will be about how he said something weird in the post game or some psychobabble about how he looked on the sidelines. This has been going on for as long as I can remember.

Stay saucy Philly!

The most insufferable group of fans ever. Must. Be. Miserable. Foreverrrr

Yep. He was ran out of town on his first stint here. He was golden for the SB but when he started 1-1the next year with a TD and INT so many people wanted Wentz back in the lineup.

This in bold plus the emergence of the D is when it become the standard for Hurts.  Do you want us to go back to him forcing things and committing loads of turnovers?  He ain't Joe Burrow.  He is who he is mate and the coaching staff has reeled him in so that the team could win games thru the brilliance of the other players.  Enjoy the ride and worry about replacing Hurts in the off season.

I view it more this way, if we get by the rams then we are likely running into lions and then bills, ravens and a fully healthy chiefs offense (really just got everyone back into the fold the last 3 weeks). I tend to think those are the elite teams in the league. Imo we are gonna have to score in the 30+ to win. I know we all look at the ravens game and we beat them down with   Jalen being so-so. But I also think Justin Tucker leaving seven points off the board isn’t discussed enough. Is Justin Tucker  gonna miss two field goals and an extra point to cost them seven points and their defense has turned the corner over the last month. Game may have played out differently with Tucker not doing that and a ravens defense playing much better if we just assume we can do the same thing again  

people can disagree but i don’t see them getting through the lions and any of those afc teams if the passing game isn’t better. I’m hoping it looks better this week. I thought jalen nailed it when he said it was choppy. It’s been an issue this year. Let’s just hope it’s corrected next 3 weeks or not nearly as choppy

Tbh the eagles wanted wentz back in the lineup. It’s why they gave him the extension he got

and again Nick Foles is still revered here and there were plenty of people who wanted him over wentz 

Nothing we can do about Hurts now so no use in complaining.  Just hope he is good enough to make a run.  Next year, we can discuss Tanner McKee taking over in the near future.

Had to drive a little.  We have been over this. And it's tiring.  But there has to be some middle ground between what he did against green bay and most of the season,   and turning it over if we ask him to do more. Nobody is asking for turnovers....obviously.

That's fair, but the difference to me is that we've seen Hurts prove his ability and rise to the occasion. Tannehill? Not so much. Call 2022 a fluke all you want, and choose to believe he's never capable of that again. Meanwhile I'll enjoy watching us play the Rams with confidence that Hurts is certainly good enough to help us win that game.

I’ve said this since the beginning of the season that this postseason was going to be on lurie and howie’s radar with hurts and the offense.  Lurie and Howie Roseman are very analytical in their approach. Lurie wants to be a passing team because he goes to the Reid and banner school of thought of we pass to set up the run and win games. Do i agree with that? Not really. Think there’s multiple ways to skin a cat. Do what you are elite at.

That said all the analytics that are out there about the passing offense they’re going to look and probably already have at their disposal. Imo if their passing game is the main reason that they  don’t get to where Howie and lurie believe they should go then i really doubt Howie and Jeff are just going to ignore the analytics. Sheil has touched on this all year, our passing game per the analytics is worse than 2021. Frankly think there’s multitude of factors that get put into that so it’s not just hurts and it’s not just everything else either.

imo i actually think the offense looks better this week. If the eagles keep the rams pass rush at bay then i think we see a much better showing and the conversation dies down for a week.

Yeah, I agree he's going to need to have a game (maybe two) at some point and he may not be able to pull it off.  He simply isn't a typical prototype NFL pocket passing QB and he isn't going to develop those skills.  I've accepted that some time back.

Ok, then in my mind the recipe for closing out GB was to grind them out and avoid Hurts turnovers once we got the 10pt lead.  That's exactly what happened and while Hurts may have been overly cautious on a couple of plays that was far better than throwing the ball if he wasn't 100% sure.  Again, he is who he is at this point and he did just what he was counted on to do.

I said above the eagles are an analytic driven organization. So Howie and Lurie already probably know what the analytics are saying in terms of the pass offense and offense in general. Hopefully we go on and win a Super Bowl and we have the chance to win many more. However if the season comes to an end against the rams and largely due to the passing game looking like it did last week then i don’t think lurie and howie ignore what the analytics have illustrated. That’s not how they are as an organization.

that said just beat the rams. We are the better team and capable of beating anyone if we play up to our potential.

That's fair. I am not absolved of this behavior either as I wanted Foles here instead of Wentz. I mean we really were a bad play by Alshon from going to the championship game to play the Rams, who we would have beat.

I mean at the very least they would have scored more then 3 points in the SB.

Let me add that they have a successful formula that has led them to 13 out of 14 (with the exception being not having the #1 QB for more than 6 minutes).  No reason at all to veer away from that formula at this point.  Stick with it unless a Lions or Bills or Ravens team jumps out to a three score lead in the second half and there is no choice but to abandon it.

The fact that you can't admit that the Eagles won in spite of him this past weekend is the entire reason it seems like there's an anti-Hurts crowd.  He was dreadful on Sunday.  Literally the worst in the last 10 years to actually win a playoff game!! 

Look, I think Jalen sucked pretty bad on Sunday.  That said, this worst of the last 10 years BS is utterly ridiculous.  Did no one else watch Darnold, Love, or Herbert this past weekend? 

Hurts had 2 TDs and no INTs.  So yeah, those numbers make it sound as if he played decent.  We all know he didn't.  But any time a QB throws 2 TDs and 0 INTs, but still is singled out as the worst performance in 10 years, I'm pretty sure it's the measuring metric that is severely flawed

Agreed. Even when Hurts is bad, he doesn’t pup his pants in big moments. You can call that a low bar, but it’s the difference between potentially winning a Super Bowl with a great roster or being in purgatory with a great roster.

Tbh the article compared it to teams that have won and not teams that have lost. Those guys were much worse but they also lost. Also said least efficient. Can interpret it in different ways. TJ Yates won a playoff game years ago for the Texans. He wasn’t as inefficient but I’d argue he was worse.

It's BS either way - pretty sure there are QBs w/ playoff wins the last 10 years while having a multiple turnover game.

Call it BS. It’s what the analytics indicate. Guess the organization that’s analytic driven? Tbh dvoa has shown our passing attack is the worst it’s been in 4 years. I  think there’s many variables and reasons as to why. That said i don’t think howie and lurie just ignore it as they very much believe in analytics.

Apparently the Packers fan who recorded the dude calling his woman a c*nt is a content creator - wore a bodycam to the game.  Set up a gofundme to get into the game - probably antagonized the Eagles fan.  Not condoning what the Eagles fan did, but it would be interesting to see all the footage.

This is the correct take.

As a fan, your ticket to the game is to watch the game and react to what is happening on the field, not marshal the other fans around you and antagonize them.  When I go to games and there are fans around me wearing the other team's jerseys -- I ignore them.  If they engage me in a good-natured way I'll speak with them politely; if they're rude I stick to watching the game and they can bother someone else.

I do agree that, from the video footage, I would have simply switched seats with my gf -- it's not a question of pride, it's her personal security; it's not up for discussion.  Once I'm seated closer to the aggressive/antagonizing fan, tell him to go sit down.  If he refuses, look him straight in the eye and tell him "Sit down and STFU".  He'd have sat down -- he's at the age where fisticuffs is not the most preferred option, IMO.

I suspect you're pretty close to that age as well, using the term fisticuffs.

Not all analytics are created equal.  The creator of any 'analytical metric' is just the one who decides what's important and what's being measured.   If he decides his algorithm won't penalize turnovers harshly, then it won't.   It doesn't make him right.  Just my opinion

Imo dvoa encompasses a lot of different things. It’s more telling to me that  hurts went to the podium and straight up said all year they’ve been choppy in the passing game. Which frankly the dvoa analytics has indicated in terms of passing game.
