I’m struggling to find a defensive player worth the Eagles trading for right now that won’t cost significant cap space or draft capital.

I don’t believe any of the dolphins players will fetch higher than a 4th. We have plenty of capital to leverage for someone without having to part with a top pick

The offense is designed the way Hurts likes it. It's been this way for years. This is the second time in three years it's been abysmal and yet most people jumped on firing Patullo immediately. He has his faults, I'm not absolving them.

Now that we're seeing Hurts miss multiple wide open throws over the span of weeks, people are starting to point the finger at him as well.

Hurts has been the constant in the offense and it's wild inconsistency from year to year despite it being catered to what he enjoys, but this is rarely discussed.

Sit the conversation out, you're out of your element here

Most skip to firing patullo because there's no moving from hurts. There have been coordinators who can prop him up, so they need to figure that out instead of trying to lean on him to win games. His "grit" and "will to win" only go so far, as we've seen the past two weeks. We've lost to 2 mediocre/bad teams, one in embarrassing fashion, granted one of those was TNF which I generally put zero stock in (but F patullo anyway).

When you have a mid tier QB, it's up to the coordinator to scheme guys open and make the QB's life easier. Look at what steichen is doing with Daniel Fing Jones, Shanahan with Mac Jones. Hurts is better than Jones, we dont need a Shanahan type genius, but we need someone with a better fundamental understanding than pee wee football that patullo has

Meanwhile. Mac jones playing with a bunch of nobodies can sling it better than hurts any day of the week

The culture on that team has been awful for years, I wouldn't touch any of em with a 10 foot pole.

Franklin losing 3 games in a row and completely losing his program drove the firing. You could see it in his eyes after the game that he was done.

I think the more important line in that tweet was that Adidas was willing to pay a lot of it or all of his buyout.

If it's designed the way likes it then why not simply mimic his most statistically successful season with Steichen? Could have been easily accomplished. As for the constant in the offense so have Smith. Johnson, Mailata, Goedert, Dickerson, Brown, Patullo, Sirianni, Stoutland, Howie...

I know it's challenging for people when the conversation extends beyond either/or arguments to include subtleties and nuances. Your TV misses you yelling at it and your Coors light is getting warm. Put your feet up and relax.

Problem with Franklin is he could never get a top QB. All the QBs he's had blow including Allar. He sucks too.

I think it’s more likely (ha) Goedert is brought back on a cheaper 1-2 year deal. He’s not likely (ha again) to have a big expensive market at 31

I’d bet Goedert is gone. Feels like the Josh Sweat situation all over again. Goederts one of the few guys on offense on pace for a career year. Feels like Eagles were more than ready to move on but went with the one year deal after a replacement wasn’t drafted. I don’t think he’ll make top money on the open market but probably get something Howie won’t want to match.

I’m pretty sure Adidas is going to have a big say on who the next coach is going to be if they are putting all or a good portion of the money. I still think it’s going to wind up being Indiana’s coach curt cignetti who’s done a good job with QBs and lesser talent at Indiana. So i imagine what he could do with PSU resources

No idea what the plan was there if they traded him. Howie got lucky there.

I’m curious if Andrews and njoku are on the market next offseason if we don’t bring one of them in at a reasonable contract and draft one as well.

I think Howie liked his odds to find one in the draft but didn’t shake out that way

Why don't you ask him? It came straight from the horses mouth.

None of those players have the football in their hands on every offensive play, but keep grasping at straws.

I'm not excusing Patullo, but at some point Hurts needs to start hitting these wide open players.

Moore did a wonderful job last year, but we could also run the ball at will and did so historically. Hurts assists in this with his legs, but Saquon was our MVP. Didn't hurt that we had the number one defense in football.

Now the run game isn't there and the defense isn't nearly as good and we can hardly muster any yards when teams adjust. He is showing that he cannot elevate his team these past two weeks because he's openly goofing on walk in TDs.

Again, Patullo has his faults. I don't care who the OC is you're doomed when you're handcuffed to a QB who struggles to read the field, panics at times and misses layups.

Holy crap what a catch by chase

As weird as it sounds, Goedert already has matched his career high for TD’s in a season this year in 5 games

Yeah I’d put a lot of blame on Hurts for this loss to the Giants.

Allen iverson would never lol

If Mike McDaniels gets fired, bring him in as a consultant. Then make him OC after the season. Not sure he'd take the job, but whatever.

And if it's a "Jalen Hurts can't run a Mike McDaniels influenced offense" type situation, then make him run it. He's a professional QB. If you can only run one type of offense you don't belong in the NFL. Might be more tired of that line than any other in reference to the Eagles.

If GB doesn’t convert this 3rd down, bengals gonna have a shot to win this game

And golden gets 30 yards. That’ll do it.

Congrats to geno!

Yeah, Sirianni, Stoutland, Johnson, Mailata are all just wallflowers. I suppose it was his offense in 2023 and again last year throughout the playoffs and the SB victory. His offense scored more playoff points than any team in the history of the NFL (145). My guess, in your fragile world, is when the Eagles stomp teams it is in spite of him, and when they don't, it is because of him. My straws are brutal cylanders of truth.
