Maybe one of these days you'll admit you foolishly ran your mouth for an entire season about the QB only to watch it blow up in your face as he brought home the second lombardi in franchise history.  

Like I said to HE, you guys were basically like RTK when he was trashing Foles in 2017. 

Yeah that really blew up in my face.  It was so miserable watching probably the best Philadelphia sports team we will ever see in our lifetime dominate and bring home the 2nd Lombardi.  Do you just accumulate all of these insecurities throughout the entire season and just wait with your little gerbil fingers to stroke that keyboard?  Read more and you'd see the multiple times I've praised Hurts since the NFCC.  Please continue to post though -  I like to play with my food.

His panties are twisted into a double knot, because there are some of us that accurately criticized Hurts when he played poorly throughout the season and the 1st 2 rounds of the playoffs.  Each one of these people, including me, gladly ate their crow and have done nothing but praise him for how incredible he was these last 2 games.  

I’m always open to praising somebody when they do a great job. Like I was hard on Vic Fangio the first four weeks. The defense outside of the Saints game the first four weeks felt very similar to things that happened last year. some blamed it on the personnel wasn’t good enough, but I thought the personnel was good enough to be better than what they showed. They just needed to play better and he needed to get them playing better since he was the mastermind genius of the defense. I am glad he was able to do that and get them to go to another level. He far exceeded the expectations on what anybody had about what the defense was going to be this year. I’m thrilled he showed me he was the mastermind and genius everyone thinks he is  

on this topic, I never blamed everything on hurts and I didn’t blame everything on Moore (by this i mean it wasn’t one of the other for the entirety of the problem). There were issues and struggles with the passing game throughout the year. It wasn’t consistent week to week. And some weeks it was awful. Some of that falls on hurts, some of that falls on Moore and some of it falls on some other things associated with the offense. I felt at the beginning of the year the playoffs were going to  determine a lot about the long term future of the Qb position. If Jalen hurts, played poorly in the playoffs and it contributed to them losing and a chance at the Super Bowl, I think the eagles are likely starting to put some wheels in motion. Felt like eagles would view it as a rams situation with Goff. I also said if he goes out there and gets back to 2022 version and he looks like that quarterback, then he’s the guy for the foreseeable future. Which was the best universe  because now we don’t have to go find the quarterback, which is one of the hardest things to do in this league.

Still wild that was the easiest game of the entire season.

 

Even the Panthers and Jaguars managed to make us sweat out a win.

Sure, whatever makes you feel better about it, RTK Jr

I thought he played great in the NFCCG and SB 🤷‍♂️

I didn't know I was supposed to say he sucked when he didn't

No the blog rules are this:

When Hurts does play poorly, do not criticize him.  It gets the little people all worked up, and we can't have a back and forth discussion about it.  

When Hurts plays great, even if and when you do praise him, deep down you actually hate him and we are now upset that the Eagles won the Superbowl.  

Make sense?  

I'm seeing so many "We need to do this like the Eagles, We need to do that like the Eagles.  The Eagles gave the entire AFC the Blueprint to beat the Chiefs" on other teams channels.   Sorry, it's not that easy.  This was YEARS in the making.  This didn't happen overnight.  It took multiple drafts and targeted free agency to build this.    People always want an overnight success.  That's what I like about this organization.  They really did rebuild the team after Doug's Super Bowl Team and built another Super Bowl Team.

They could have just said England but yeah I mean I get it. What an experience to have had here though.

Yeah, they picked the best known city to associate you with. I grew up in a place called Riverdale in Maryland, which was only about 15 minutes away from D.C. So when I was in the Army and people asked where I was from, it was always just easier to say "just outside of Washington, D.C." because they'd know where that was.

Erin Andrews wants to get Hurt.

How do their first 4 years starting stack up to each other?

Year 1 - Mahomes 12-4, 50 passing TD's, lost in AFC title game in OT to Brady

          - Hurts 8-7, 16 passing TD's and got bounced rudely in the WC round

Year 2 - Mahomes 11-3 and won the Super Bowl

           - Hurts 14-1 and lost the Super Bowl

Year 3 - Mahomes 14-1 and lost the Super Bowl to Tom Brady

          - Hurts 11-6 and got dominated by Baker freaking Mayfield in the wild card round

Year 4 - Mahomes 12-5, lost in AFC title game in OT to Burrow

          - Hurts 12-2 won Super Bowl

Playoff record

Mahomes 8-3

Hurts 6-3

Mahomes has also made it to the conference title game at a minimum every year as a starter.  There is no comparison.

The RTK rules are never admit you were wrong about a QB, ever, and when confronted, be sure to double down. Always. It's served him pretty well so far judging by how well his opinion is regarded in here.

9. Rodgers -- another one I'd bring back on a cheap deal

I hope you mean Isaiah and not that other Rodgers guy... 😬

Still riding that LIX euphoria!

But the draft nerd within has been looking at college highlights, mock drafts, and toying with mock draft simulators for months now. Harmless addiction I suppose lol

My guys for 32 sadly look to be moving up the first round. EDGE Shemar Stewart and DT Walter Nolen now look to almost be out of reach without a decent trade up. DT TJ Sanders and EDGE Landon Jackson draft stocks seem to be rising too. Initially thought of a mid to late second round pick for Sanders and mid second for Jackson, both seem to be climbing into late first round consideration. My hope is one of them will be there at 32.

Other EDGE/DTs to keep an eye on if staying put at 32:

EDGE Kyle Kennard

EDGE Princely Umanmielen

DT Derrick Harmon

 

 

Not to worry... Abdul Carter is going to pull some shenanigans and fall into our laps at 32.   

Obviously a bunch of idiots.

Was that Barwin? Isn't he a scout or something, what's he doing on the sidelines with a headset?

Idc how unpopular this is but Jason Kelce is getting annoying. You can tell the fame is getting to his head. Has to write a novel about his freakin feelings watching his former team play his d-bag sister. Both are annoying and so is his mom.

Nicholas Morrow would also have been an acceptable answer.

I wish Kellen would stay but it's hard for a young coach to turn down life changing career opportunities.   But after years of being on the Cowboys and barely getting out of the 1st round and going nowhere with the Charges.  He comes to Philly and wins a Super Bowl.   Shouldn't that be enough?  Again we will survive but he should try to repeat and go for the coaching market next year.  But again I get it, an opportunity is here and it's like now or never sometimes.   Jalen will be fine, he has proven to adapt to multiple schemes and play callers.  I just feel bad that he can't keep any continuity.

Jalen Carter was involved in the loss of life and only fell to #9.

I don’t really wanna get involved in the hurts versus Mahomes argument. But the bigger issue Kansas City has is their offensive line is nowhere close to what it was early in his career. Fran Duffy made a great point on their podcast, since thuney got moved out to left tackle and Caliendo went to left guard the running attack for the Chiefs got progressively worse. They were losing yards on half their rushing attempts. They were actually better before they made that move. Frankly caluendo and Taylor stink and they likely lose Trey smith

Who was the one who got caught with a bong mask on and dropped?   Maybe he should do that instead of manslaughter.

I believe he's in 'player development' but also works with the LBs.

He's been there for awhile now. Not sure what he's actually doing on gamedays though. 

His title per the team is Head of Football Development and Strategy

10. And here's the controversial one...what's Haason going to get paid? 1 year, $6 million? Make him the new BG if BG walks.

 

He can’t join our roster till 2026.

I'm thinking more that Reich makes the most sense.  He wouldn't be a young guy trying to make his mark in the league.  Frank is smart enough to look at what worked this year and roll it back.  He had lots of work with Carson and the RPOs and with Foles and the deep ball.  It would be the safest fit.
