You are just being pissy to be pissy. It's one note, over and over. You can be much better than that but you choose not to be.

Actually, you are the one being pissy with the random drive by insults.

I don't get the ref criticism as biased against the Chiefs as there isn't another team in the NFL that would get that roughing the passer call on third down, also Mitchell or Jackson would've been called for one or both of the amount of contact before the ball got there on the sideline catch that Devonta almost got, or the slamming to the ground after forward progress had stopped on the one he did catch.

Exactly. I suspect it was a mix of coping from Chief fans and frustration that we went to Arrowhead and won, from other teams. Not entirely based in reality when it was focused on a minimal amount of plays. Last week, the Boys got some very friendly calls, as did the Chiefs this week. When is taunting, taunting? no one knows

Good morning Eagles fans…enjoy.

They said because Smith stopped? But then he tried to go again and the defender held him up. So its legal to interfere with a stop and go route now? I suspect the refs determined it was an uncatchable ball since he stopped running which would be a fair no call because it looked pretty well overthrown from where he was.

Smith ran into the defender who was standing still. I could see them picking up the flag for that reason.

Two things we say every year.

-If they look this sloppy in this amount of weeks, it's time to worry.

-One of these weeks the Eagles will play a complete game.

They keep on winning, but why does it feel like pulling teeth with this team so much? Best OL in the NFL, top 3 and top 10 WR, best RB in the NFL, unstoppable short yardage play, terrific young defense, efficient QB. All of those things combined shouldn't equal the product we see on the field.

Perfection and winning dominantly can become the expected result, even worse addicting. FR.

Irritating is everyone complaining about the tush push. If they banned it the eagles would just run a regular Qb sneak. Prior to hurts and the tush push, Carson wentz was 91.3% effective on a QB sneak from 2017-2019. Acting like the eagles wouldn’t be highly effective just running a regular Qb sneak with hurts is pretty laughable to me. Their offensive line being as good as it is and hurts as a runner with his lower body strength would be pretty highly effective. Add on Chris jones multiple times was lined up offsides and wasn’t called. Yet people complaining about the false start not called correctly on us meanwhile if called correctly there’s a flag nearly every time for jones lining up offsides.

Kylen Granson 57% of the snaps GTFOH

This is what happens when year after year you ignore the TE position. They didn't have to replace Goedert, but not bringing in a suitable backup via FA, or drafting a guy who has TE1 potential has been a problem for this team. Clearly this team is different with Goedert on the field. Having a player who can step in for him would go a long way.

I was a HUGE Harold Fannin fan going into the draft. He's TE2 with the Browns and has 12 catches for 111 yards through 2 games. Would have loved having him here.

At least they HAVE to address this after the season since every TE contract on the roster expires this year.

It's not great play design. Hurts also could have stepped up in the pocket.

Not that one, there was another where he landed awkwardly and got dinged up. The Chiefs DB was all over him, wasn't looking at the ball, there was 100% illegal contact but they just let it go.

The one you're referring to, I agree, I'm not upset because it was 20 yards past him

oh ok. I know the play but I wasnt paying enough attention at the moment to remember the contact on that one. When they showed the replay I was just focused on what the injury might be.

Was he part of the kneel down? Idk if they include that in snap count though.

There is a weird fixation that the shove goes and all will be ok with the world. As you say, it won't stop the sneak or materially change the fact this team is very good at short yardage runs. The complaining will move to QB sneaks being unfair.

The real lesson is the officials penalising the Eagles by allowing teams to line up offsides on short yardage plays, where perhaps they don't for other teams. Why are the Eagles being discriminated against? We can all play that game.

Saw an interesting debate on Twitter about who’s the worst coach in the AFC west. Reid, Carroll, Payton or harbaugh. All have really good resumes. Probably the best division of coaches

Yeah it seemed like he tried but he and his teammate couldn’t get out of their own way. He then got distracted and hit his own knee with the ball. Ha Not his best play.

Defense looks good and will get better as the season goes on. Offense is a snooze fest. I think it's the passing and running concepts. Hopefully it's a learning issue rather than easily deciphered concepts. However, pretty clear that when Smith or Brown motion across a run is coming to the opposite side. They did that about 8 times in the game.

Rams game: Eagles offense has to play better and score more points.

Rams should put Nacua wherever Jackson is lined up. He will have a career day.

Suggesting that Patullo should have been able to step in to this role with no adjustment period is crazy.

He needs time. There are definitely issues, but I think he will get better. Brian Johnson was an idiot, KP is not.

Although, the one thing that probably frustrated me the most was the constant runs on 1st down for 1 yard. It was incredibly predictable and kept putting us in 2nd/3rd and long.

They HAVE to mix in some passes / play action on 1st downs occasionally just to keep the defense honest and allow drives to start.

These are easy things to fix, and I expect that they will.

It was like when you play someone in Madden that spams the same play over and over.

Mukuba had some huge plays. I'm curious to hear from Fangio if he cleaned up the negative plays too. I don't remember anything egregious but that's not something you necessarily notice on first watch. Loving what I'm seeing from our 1st/2nd picks for now. Both look physical as hell.
