Eagles have a chance at going 3 games up next week. Now the Conference us a different story. I think it's going to be 12-13 wins for the Conference.Both Tampa Bay and San Francisco have easy schedules … especially San Francisco.

Everyone agrees the OL is an issue. But everyone, not a few, believes Patullo, or Hurts are the overriding issue. Who are you really trying to single out with your make believe story?
Monday at 02:06 PM2 days The route concepts do stink, but for whatever reason, the head coach doesn't want to change it. So it is what it is. If they came out of the mini bye with the same nonsense, it's not ever changing. Whether it's Sirianni's stubbornness, whether it's idiocy, whether he just doesn't think Hurts can handle different stuff... whatever it is, he clearly doesn't want it changed. They've been coaching not to lose all year, honestly, except for a few exceptions like the 3rd down throw to AJ. Running a draw on 3rd and 5 and then settling for the FG was a joke. Every 3rd down they run clear outs and try to make safe passes underneath that won't go for anything explosive. Coaches need to stop coaching afraid, but they aren't. It's on Sirianni to change that and he's not.

Think players, not plays, right?The only purpose the original play seems to have is lead blocker for when Barkley leaks to the flat
Monday at 02:22 PM2 days So, Minnesota fans are thrilled with themselves because they think their team solved the tush push. Even though we go the 1st down. And even though the Chiefs tried it last year in the super bowl and Chris Jones got injured and cried about it.Its possible that Jergens hurt his knee then. Chris Jones got injured lining up sideways last year.The eagle should submit to the league a rule change that states defensive players are not allowed to line up parallel to the LOS if lining up on the LOS. The tush push has not caused injury, ever. Except for possibly 2 out of 2 times that a team ever attempted that technique. Clearly, that defensive strategy is dangerous. But the tush push is safe.The eagles can argue that by taking away that strategy, they can dramatically reduce the risk of injury on that play. Just compare the 100% injury rate with a sideways defender, and the 0% on countless tries when no player lines up sideways.

And there are the seldom talked about or seen RSOs which is a run/screen option. We have run that before.I maintain 2 things about that play. Miscommunication in the huddle about the play call. WRs ran a RPO/RSO route combo. 2 blocked. 2 ran pass routes. While the entire OL just pass blocked instead of half and half like an RPO/RSO should be.Dotson was 1st read, was open immediately and ball should have been out to him.

Just compare the 100% injury rate with a sideways defender, and the 0% on countless tries when no player lines up sideways.They did actually do a pretty good job. I think Hurts got a generous spot on the conversion and it was likely short, but it's almost impossible to tell.If anything, I think Eagles should hope more teams do that. The Eagles can counter with plays off the Tush Push and now have really only 10 defenders at most, less if the two guys pushing the horizontal guy can't get up and out of their stance. That could be a big play waiting.
Monday at 02:34 PM2 days Do we have any information on when Jurgens was injured? I'm curious if the whole sideways NT on the Tush Push had anything to do with it as they faced this look a couple of times. Probably not.

Monday at 02:36 PM2 days Jurgens was hurt on the first play of the game, but toughed out the rest of the drive.

At least you finally manned up and said it. What a puss.

Monday at 02:39 PM2 days Brings up a safety issue with that defensive tactic from a different angle. If a player is lined up basically on all fours at the OLs feet, and there are 2 other DL standing up, is that not the definition of high/low? Thats illegal and should be a 15 yard penalty against the defense.
Monday at 02:40 PM2 days Just now, DrPhilly said:I include Patullo in there as well.oh ok. so not "a few" Its the whole blog.Its tough to dig through all of the inaccuracies in that made up story of yours.

The 3 and out with the false start on the tush push drive was his last one.
Monday at 02:44 PM2 days Just now, LeanMeanGM said:He played the next drive after this.

Because we know he tried to continue playing. So its not like we can just pick out his last play and assume it happened there. Because, it didnt. So who knows.

They have to figure out the pass rush and 2nd corner spot, but there are a lot of playmakers on defense there.An effective pass rusher would go a long way to helping any problems in the secondary.

The AFC is pretty much a garbage heap, minus a handful of teams.Only 4/16 teams in the NFC are below .500 but half the AFC is.I don't consider teams that get to the Conference Championship game to be pretenders. The Broncos may be, but Washington wasn't. They overachieved, but to me, that's different.
