Can’t sustain drives and keep the ball if you can’t or don’t run the ball. This team needs to find a way to get the run game going.

It's not happening this year. We have to be honest about that because injuries don't get better during the season. If they had depth and could rest maybe but they are too banged up.

I'm pissed off at Howie today for having knowledge of their surgeries and not planning better.

Don't disagree, but doesn't change that he got hit a bunch and sacked a bunch.

DEN would come to the line simulating a heavy blitz drawing the OL attention inward, then drop out at the snap leaving Saquon vs a DB or a TE vs a DE along the edges. You'd like to see those guys hold their blocks better, or Jalen to step up into the pocket or what is more characteristic just take off.

Multiple times he started to run and then slowed down like he wasn't sure and got taken down. Dude is too indecisive at times. Run or throw but make a decision quickly and stick with it. Take off if you are running.

Gannon might get canned for this:

He smacked his pads, that happens all the time.

If you'd have had Rifleman hold on to the ball, then we would've won the game.

I don't get the number of people pissed the Eagles didn't run the ball more in the 2nd half. This running game sucks. They haven't remotely come close to sustaining a drive by running the ball in any of the 5 games. They came back vs the Rams by throwing. Their problem isn't that they didn't run. Their problem is they don't do a single thing well on offense besides the tush push. And that has to change and change quickly.

I was thinking in the game yesterday, why aren't they using a 6 man OL more? Calcaterra's blocking is more Ole than anything, and while its kind of low level grunt worthy, its a change at least to what we've been seeing. Nothing.

He was definitely in the mindset that he was going to be a passer yesterday, credit to him no turnovers - but still a bunch of negative plays that we can't afford without any bread and butter in this offense.

Hurts needs to have full control of the offense. Let him be the play caller.

The Cardinals were up by 2 touchdowns at this point, huge gaff by the RB to not seal the win - but Gannon figures out how to lose games on his own.

I don't know what they are waiting for. Everyone sees they need a pass rusher desperately. The dearth of pass rush and impact for the line is bad. Jalen is back to holding the ball for no reason. He is slow to process the field.

You are right about the negative plays.

Why spend the capital on one with the OL that bad? He'd be worn out by the end of the game anyway. You are spot on about processing the field.

Do that many Philly fans associate with PSU? I'm neutral with them. Don't hate them, don't love them. Nice to see them win, but I never lump them in with Philly sports.

The Eagles are terrible against zone. They'll have to figure it out, everyone is gonna run it against them.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. The Phillies and Eagles part is true

Dysfunctional play calling laid bare.

How does this make any sense? Ojulari goes from not being active to tied for 2nd in snaps? You'd think Hunt and Uche would get the majority with Smith and Ojulari sharing the rest with Johnson sprinkled in. Sure would be nice for one of these guys to really turn it on.

Jalyx Hunt: 43 snaps (58%)
Za’Darius Smith: 34 snaps (46%)
Azeez Ojulari: 34 snaps (46%)
Josh Uche: 29 snaps (39%)
Patrick Johnson: 8 snaps (11%)

When you see the photos of the victim, Sanchez could actually get prison time assuming the photos accurately reflect what Sanchez did to him. That guy was really messed up. If Sanchez instigated it and they have evidence to back it up, he's going to be in some serious serious trouble.

They were leading for most of the game... so that may have been by design, not necessarily something to fix. My concern is more about what happened AFTER the ball was snapped not WHEN it was snapped.

They're often correlated. You can't make protection adjustments, formation shift (remember those?), put a receiver in motion, check out of a play, call an alert, etc, unless you're getting to the LOS with double digits on the play clock.
