Really good read on VR Training and Eagles and Hurts need to implement it 

 

 

What's up with Fangio's defense at the ends of games? So good for 58 minutes, then when another team has the ball with a few minutes to go all of a sudden it's the flood gates open. We had 2 games this season where it cost them and almost did yesterday. Not sure if it's a coincidence or trend.

$21 million for a qb? Outrageous. The Rams are only paying...checks notes...Stafford $46 million for this season which...checks notes...seems to have ended not too long ago due to...checks notes...Jalen Hurts. 

Stafford is a Super Bowl winner who has hit 5K passing yards in a season and routinely passed for 4K+.
 

If we had Stafford instead of Hurts we’d be a MUCH better team.

Seeing this makes me think Hurts isn't hurt too badly.  Hope so since we need his running threat.

Hopefully it's nothing too bad, maybe some soreness. The threat of him makes our running game so powerful.   Jalen has really complimented Saquon so well. That was such a cool scene when showed the replay and Jalen and Saquon are talking.  They knew he was going to break one and Saquon said "Watch this" and he was gone 70 yards.   I hope he's Ok because it looked painful.  He was clearly in pain and played like warrior out there especially in those conditions.   

🤣 Real

 

 

 

I give Hurts a C for yesterday.  Averaging out a B for the first half and a D for the second half.

I also think the terrible conditions were a big problem for him.  He doesn't have the laser rocket arm of Stafford (or others).  He relies on good footing and mechanics to pass, which became a problem in the second half elements.

It was really cold and no huddle. A good combo to wear out a defensive line

Someone's feeling a little left out today

His entire account is basically shitting on people for not doing things as great as him while talking about how great he is, and then when someone points out something he didn't do great or an organization didn't do great with him running the show, responding with "Oh how ignorant you are"

Jalen is a top 8-12 QB, but if we're not going to use him like one then his contract is a problem. Similar concept to Huff. Huff might be a good 4-3 EDGE, but we don't play him so his contract won't let us resign one of Becton/Milton.

Hurts is not a top 12 QB. This is fantasy world stuff. But the comparison to Huff is appropriate, I’ll give you that.

I can never tell when you guys are just F'ing around or if you really think that pic is from today.

Uhh because Hurts isn’t and never will be a Stafford. The sacks were bad. The rest was fine. We are asking him to manage the game and not turn the ball over. 

Yep, the sacks and especially the safety is what made the game bad. 

27 dropbacks and 65 net passing yards

That ****!  He stole my account!!

He'll just get sacked 1.75x faster

Another thing I noticed yesterday is that during almost every commercial break, Jake was on the field practicing his kicking motion. He looks like a golfer who lost his swing trying to find it again. Scary stuff and the missed XPs have gotten out of control.

I think Fangio goes to a soft prevent too early.  That cost us the Falcons game and possibly the 2nd Commies game.  And almost cost us yesterday.  Going prevent / soft on the 2nd to last drive was a huge mistake.  There was still far too much time on the clock and the Rams had all their timeouts.

Disingenuous. It's completely separate from the reality of what actually happened on that play in real life vs hurts is good make believe land. 

You're the most disingenuous poster here. Funny you would make that comment. I'm really sorry Hurts boinked your mom I guess I'd have a vendetta too.

Now that the stroke symptoms have worn of gosh damn we are lucky to be playing next week. I have no idea what is going to happen, but one freaking game away.

Any news yet on the injuries?

That's a great idea, but there's no way in hell he "made VR training a condition for any team drafting him".  He was always going #2 to Washington.

And yet it’s still too high given his production. If he’s going to be a 180 passing yards per game guy, he should be paid backup money, not top 20 starter money.

You're going to just totally leave out his running ability and his leadership ability?  He's clearly in the top 20 and slotted just where he should be for this year and next.

The prevent.  A sieve.  We should stop using it.

Elliott and Gonzalez are going to put on a real kicking clinic this Sunday.

I thought those accolades weren't released until after the season? He really got ROTY?

I actually wondered the same thing. Nate Burleson discussed this rule with SpongeBob and Patrick last week 

 

I was wondering also because he wasn't going forward he was going backwards

I'm watching the game again now.  I'll post about what I see with Hurts and a bit on Stafford

1st quarter - He was very solid in the 1st quarter.  Had the long run, four or five nice short passes, and put a long ball right on the numbers to Smith who couldn't hold on with the big hit.  The lone sack was 100% on the OL.  Lane slipped and the entire pocket collapsed on him with nowhere to go.  Stafford was well short on his deep ball but the Ram WR made a great play and stole the ball from Rodgers.

There are going to be several bad plays for Hurts as the game proceeds but none in the 1st quarter.

Both Saquon long TDs were plays that were Hurts' audibles.

2nd quarter - There was a sailed ball on 2nd and 8 from the 30yrd line with Brown open.  Next play Hurts waited too long and took a sack taking the Eagles out of FG range.  Becton was blown up but Hurts still had time to throw it away and give Elliott a shot.  This was a bad ending to a drive that was solid mixing in some Hurts runs and a short pass to Brown to convert a third down.  Couple of really nice drives pretty deep into Rams territory including the last one in the quarter from inside their own 10yrd line with some nice short passes and a Hurts scramble.  Neither drive resulted in pts.  Hurts failed to get the ball away and was sacked outside of FG range on the 1st one and then Brown's drop cost the Eagles on the 2nd one.  Hurts ended up getting sacked on a blitz over Becton that came completely free.  Not a Hurts sack and the Eagles were not in FG range.  Another sack on the final play but it didn't matter.

Hurts had one really bad play in the 1st half and that was when he waited too long and took a sack that took the Eagles out of FG range.  Otherwise, he was solid.

Another bad throw by Stafford which Rodgers nearly intercepted.  Otherwise, Stafford hit some nice short throws in rhythm.

 

All in all the Eagles really owned the first half and should have been up by 10pts.

@HazletonEagle

3rd quarter - Stafford gets a big catch by Kupp and the Rams move the ball inside the Eagles 10 1st and goal only to have Stafford fumble the ball as he wasn't able to reach the Ram RB for the handoff.  The Rams recover but it is a big loss and they are now outside the 15.  A mistake by Stafford that likely cost the Rams 4pts. The Eagles had two drives.  Nothing of interest happened in the 1st one.  Nothing good or bad by Hurts.  The 2nd one was a nice drive with some decent passing from Hurts.  He did have one really bad pass on a deep shot down the left sideline to Brown that should have been an INT.  Otherwise, it was a solid drive by the Eagles for a FG and Hurts was fine.  Really only the one bad pass.

The knee injury occurred with just over 3 mins to go in the quarter on a nice play by Hurts to nearly get back to the LOS and keep Elliott in FG range.  Up until that point, Hurts had two bad plays with one that should have been an INT and also had two deep shots that his WRs did not pull in.  His passing was minimal but effective at times and he had had a big game running.  Stafford made more throws and threw better in rhythm but also was lucky not to get picked two or three times and had the benefit of his WRs making two huge plays downfield.  Just after the Hurts' injury, Puka did drop one that would have given the Rams a first down.  However, the punt pinned the Eagles inside their five and resulted in the safety.

The safety was a really bad play by Hurts.  However, it must be pointed out that it occurred after the knee injury and he clearly couldn't move thereafter.  No excuse for Hurts but Moore needs to take some of the blame.  Did Moore not read Hurts and understand that Jalen wasn't going to be able to move?

A super close 16-15 game after three and the QBs were pretty much equally effective overall at that point with Hurts making the one turnover (not official turnover but close enough).
