We were a dropped pass from losing this game…that was a horrendously played game on all sides of the ball…I don’t see how we beat the Steelers next week…

And we were a dropped pass from beating the Falcons.

Yup. This team is quick playoff exit with that defense and the  QB only throwing 100 yards a game with all that talent around him. 

they seriously got lucky. legette should've had that td. 

regardless, that should be a wake-up call as they head into playoff season.

Steelers might smack them next week. Their offense ya t great but their d is good. 

I know that’s the way easy reaction but it is a week to week league. I agree that was about as ugly as it gets today but we did get the W and we have to look at what went wrong and move on.

Is it OK to say, thus far the Eagles offense has stagnated the majority of times because of Jalen?

They did tailor the plays to his comfort levels. 

Bad game, good win. 

This Eagles team that was on the field today will win 1 Playoff game and that's it.

What happened to Gardner Johnson the second time?

I can't believe how bad their passing game is. 

I’m so sick and tired of watching hurts hold that ball and see receivers open and watch him bolt with the ball or take a sack and what I saw at the end of this game should be benched for that sack instead of throwing that ball away..and then to follow that up with a delay…completely unacceptable with the so called leader of this team..for years I’ve seen this incompetent player do crap like this and I’m done with it..win the Super Bowl I don’t care hurts needs to be replaced…

Got away with it! We were awful and have a lot to sort!

They haven’t fixed their first half offensive woes all season, so that ship has sailed. Barkley is essentially our offense and that’s how we’ll have to roll going forward. Our D unfortunately has to work extra hard to deal with our limited offense. Gonna be tough to remain successful in the playoffs with Hurts playing average to below average, especially with all that talent around him.

I can’t believe our safety let him get behind him like that. Our secondary seemed confused all game.

Today, yes.  Not seeing the field, holding onto the ball too long, keeping it on the RPO, etc.  Same pattern we've seen before.  A mystery why the coaches don't lean on Barkley so Jalen can ease into the game.

Cognitive dissonance....people on this board that will dismiss all week after week glaring issues at QB the because somehow in the end they won.

Dont want to hear dick from you people when Hurts costs them on the big stage in playoffs.

Other good teams have had very close games with teams even with bad records. They've won convincingly this year, even against really good teams. Just last week, beat down the Ravens. The Chiefs barely beat the Panthers by 3, and the Bucs needed OT.

Kicker auditions should be coming up this week. May have to stash one on the PS, as wasteful as that is, Jake is too risky at this point. 

I think we are stuck with Jake this season, but we need to bring in some competition this offseason.  

Hurts was bad today and the pass game needs to be doing a lot more, obviously. They're going to have to figure that out for a playoff run. This game was unusual for the defense the way they've been playing lately, I think they will bounce back from this as a defense.

Looks like he was holding his lower back on the sideline.

Bull-f'ing crap

What part of what I stated are you saying this about? 

It's not easy to win in the NFL. I feel blessed as an Eagles fan, we are competitive every year almost, and one of the most consistently good teams in the league. Imagine supporting the Jets, the Browns, the Jaguars... We've won nine in a row. It's exciting being an Eaglesa fan, I think some people forget this and get caught up with an opera crowd mentality (I love opera so I know this) of wanting to be entertained with something close to technical perfection. The difference is, the Eagles always have an opponent who wants to win, whereas Carmen never has to impose her physical will on Aida

Defense was a bit sketch today but I'm not concerned about them at all. Bryce made some crazy plays and has some weird spider sense when he should've been sacked so many times... just football. I am fully concerned about the passing game.

We can only imagine what our offense would be like with a QB who could read a D well enough or go through his progressions and/or read and react better. But we’re stuck with him and imo, he has regressed and there’s no possibility of improving his game at this point.

The coaches HAVE been leaning on Barkley. How about our 100+ milli QB go win us one against a downtrodden team?

Good lord is Hurts bad.  I get they are 11-2 but the level the passing game is at is unacceptable given the talent they have.  Would be a shame to waste this roster.  This team could cruise to the Super Bowl with a guy like Baker or Darnold.

I be don’t believe Russel Wilson has ever lost to us. Also, we’re fairly bad at home this season. I don’t see us winning against Pitt. In fact, we may lose by a convincing margin.
