We all make fun of the Cowboys for their long SB drought but it seems the 49ers are never mentioned for this? They got a longer drought than Dallas.

I know they've been to 3 SB since 1995 but still.

I forget who it was on ESPN that mentioned how predictable the Eagles are.

Orlovsky reported on it, had a % breakdown of the plays run either under center or in shotgun/spread and whether those plays were run or pass.

I am not sure, but Romo on Sunday showed an example on a typical running play how defenses are showing no respect. When the offball OG pulls across the formation to lead the runner, the unblocked DL is completely crashing through the open gap and pursuing the play from behind. The offensive brain trust should see this and run a counter with a misdirection or reverse to keep them honest...there is absolutely no counter...again which suggests either a failure in real time play calling or no sequencing...I am sure that this is just one example of the myopia and stupidity.

It's hard to believe that a top NFL team would be this predictable. Truly wild.

What could go wrong!

I want to say the statistic I heard was under center the Eagles run 80% of the time and out of the shotgun/spread they pass 80% of the time.

Something to that effect, I can’t remember the exact numbers.

It does stink that a team with SB aspirations is letting their new OC/play caller "learn on the job". Which, IMHO, is what's happening.

We all know what happened the last time the Iggles promoted from within. And conversely, we know what happened when they hired from outside the cocoon of the NovaCare Complex. 🙃

According to what was reported, Padullo was everyone's choice. The receivers, Hurts and Siranni all wanted him. Johnson didn't seem to have the same level of support. It appears though that he really wasn't much of a passing game coordinator last season. He seems to have little to no positive impact on the offense. Why they don't just cut and paste what the did last season or what other teams do, I don't know. It is like they have a bubble of ignorance. My guess is that Howie is already consulting with outside coaches to address the issue.

Sunday's game against the Broncos looked like an overcorrection to me. I was completed baffled that, even while the Eagles were leading, they'd run 31 pass plays and 8 running plays. That doesn't even include the 5 plays Hurts was sacked. Hurts himself didn't run the ball at all; I think he had one carry through the first 3 quarters. Maybe he was feeling the effects of getting his bell rung the previous game. It wasn't like the Eagles couldn't run the ball -- Barkley had 5 carries for 30 yards and Dillon had 2 carries for 12 yards. I guess Shipley getting nothing on that one play really took the Eagles out of the run game.

The Giants strength is their pass rush. They have a shortage of roster talent but are loaded with pass rushers. Run the ball at them and get the ball out quickly with short passes.

Nothing bad can come of this. Nothing.

@mattwill

Give me a repeat of the last time the Eagles/Giants truly played (not week 18 in a non factor game).

28-3 Eagles.

OL and Hurts struggle early, Saquon takes over.

Bonus: Saquon gets his record this time.

Extra bonus: Hurts has 5 second half passes instead of 2? this time.

Shouldn’t count because it’s a given: Patullo still can’t call plays.

Eagles-31

Jint Stains-13

Boston Scott with 2 Touchdowns & 155 yards rushing

Edit: Saquon Barkley for same

it's a combination of several things, but this is one of them. along with injuries, a lack of good depth and some guys not playing up to their abilities.

if nick is this culture guru, it should be an easy fix for him.

It's probably a better idea than pretending athletes are not gambling on sports. https://www.ncaa.org/news/2025/10/8/media-center-di-administrative-committee-adopts-proposal-to-allow-student-athletes-staff-to-bet-on-pro-sports.aspx I am guessing there will be prohibitions on betting on their own sport. So it's likely more consistent with NFL policy.

The Cowboys get made fun of because they haven't been to the NFC CG since 1995. The 49ers had a slide after the late 90s, but then came back and even made it to a Super Bowl... three times.

But that's what makes it unpredictable. Next level. We're lulling them to sleep. Just gotta wait for it.

I'm whoring myself out to all these fat chicks to raise money for this cash-poor team. The least they could do is win on Thursday.

I wanted to find a similar graphic for last played in a Super Bowl, but wasn't able to find one. Getting there is an accomplishment in itself.
