From what I remember Pat wanted Ed's job running both the Flyers and Sixers and was told no so he left.

One of the worst days in Philadelphia sports history.

Right up there with the day Leonard Tose bought the Eagles.

Huh? No. Make that throw in a game where your down 4 and the game is in its final minutes, and we can talk about gun slinging. There was honestly, no pressure on that particular throw, the game was already out of hand. It was the coup de grâce, not a shot for shot back and forth where he had to match Mahomes. It was a great throw, but let's not make it more than it was.

You and I have different definitions of gun slinging.

gunslinger. noun. gun·sling·er -ˌsliŋ-ər. : a person known for speed and skill in handling and shooting a gun especially in the American West.

That pass was the epitome of speed and skill in handling and throwing a football. Further, gunslingers had to have the courage to face risk of failure. Hurts showed that kind of courage in that play in spades.

On the Philly Special pod EJ brought up an observation from the Eagles draft room video. He said whenever the Eagles were about to make a pick or they make a pick, the position coach of the position they draft always comes into the room. When the Eagles traded down the first time, Stout was in the room. Made him think the Eagles thought they were gonna take Charles Grant before the Raiders got him, Then they traded down again.

How do you define "good enough”?

Good enough to complete what goal?

Do you think Hurts believes his performance was good enough?

I think if you watched that game and thought Hurts wasn't good enough instead of thinking wow that was an amazing performance. Too bad Gannon blows balls then I don't know what to tell ya

You didn’t answer any of the three questions … most importantly the last of the three questions … Do you think Hurts believes his performance was good enough?

The dagger to the heart touchdown pass to Devonta qualified for gun slinging for the whole day

But that pass was underthrown by about three inches so...

I told you what I thought. That's good enough. Ask Hurts if you want to know what he thinks of himself.

It is a very simple question. Not sure why it is so hard for you to answer. Perhaps you either don’t have the courage or don’t have the knowledge to answer it.

Too bad. I thought you were better than that.

BTW, what we think/believe is irrelevant. What Hurts tinks/believes is totally relevant.

It's both, he played one of the worst games of his career and our defense played the most complete and dominant game we've seen from them. They aren't mutually exclusive.

That's not how I see it at all. He was under duress literally from the first snap until the backups came in. He wasn't making unforced errors, wasn't making bad decisions. He was getting manhandled all game long, what makes you say he crapped the bed when most QBs in that situation perform the same way?

The fact that most QBs in that same situation also crap the bed doesn’t change the fact that he crapped the bed. Accept it for what it was … a massive beatdown.

You're missing the point, saying he crapped the bed literally takes the credit from the defense and chalk it up to a QB crapping the bed. Saying both can be true is asinine when the reason it looks like a QB crapped the bed is because they were dominated all game long.

Crapping the bed means they played poorly for no reason, despite whatever talent they have. See the Phillies vs the Diamondbacks in the NLCS for a great example. Andy Reid crapped the bed in a good amount of games for us also (calling 40 pass plays in 30mph winds, using all timeouts in the 1st/3rd quarters, etc etc). It sounds like the two of you have a completely different definition of that phrase

Yep. Saying anything else does a big disservice to what the defense and Vic did in that game.

There was no pressure on that throw, he could play loose based on the score. As I said in the original post, he has yet to out duel someone in a shoot out. Mahomes didn't make it to that fight and Hurts threw only 22 times in the game. That's not a shootout, so gunslinging need not apply. JMO.

Hurts was really good that day. Really really good, but he wasn't the biggest factor in the game. The story of that game was defensive dominance, not Hurts' passing brilliance.

Hurts didn't go toe to toe with Mahomes that day.... they both showed up in the street and Mahomes got run over by the stagecoach.

Leonard gets too much of a bad rap for how it ended. A generous man whom the casinos in AC took advantage of.

He Started the Ronald McDonald House, and that has benefitted unknown numbers of families over the decades.

I was just gonna post that. Very interesting observation. I was in the camp that the Eagles didn’t get sniped, at least in the sense that it was a player they loved so much they didn’t want to lose out on him. But that would suggest to me that either Stout was in there for a draft call or to at least discuss a prospect. We know that his voice carries more weight than any other position coach.

Hurts got concussed twice last season. He just has a good poker face, till he talks to the media and says that ‘he beat the test’.

He probably also tore his ACL and MCL last season, but you know ... poker face and all that ...

When our daughter was born and we went down to Florida to be with her she had a NICU stay that lasted a month. If it wasn't for the fact we were able to cut an insane rate with a local hotel, this would have been our home while we were down there.
