Monday at 08:01 PM1 day Yeah, I can't get behind the "We're 4-2" talk. This team is not good.Some of the problems are out of their control, especially with the injuries. But, there are also a lot of self inflicted issues to go along with it.Right now, they do nothing well. There's literally nothing currently to hang your hat on and use as something to build on.They may still turn this thing around, but they would need incredible improvement in a lot of areas.
Monday at 08:02 PM1 day "We think we know the issues of the offense"and come Sunday at 1pm they'll come out looking exactly the same sans they'll have one new little gadget play they've thrown in and will run it like 3 times on the opening drive. Then that'll be it.Prove me wrong Sirianni.

They count the same in the standings. Winning is winning and our record is 4-2. Haven’t been very good, sure, so when we start playing well, the games should be much easier. We had a lot of close games last year too. Some to some bad teams. Relax

That's what I like about you HE, your unique insight and highly detailed technical analysis is second to none around here.The points are not undefined. Most of us remember how last season went because it wasn't that long ago. There you go with those strawmen again.

Monday at 08:10 PM1 day Jake and Brayden need to take one for the team. 4 and 10 are way too good of numbers to be used on the kicking team.
Monday at 08:20 PM1 day The Chiefs won 11 straight games by being one play away from losing. And a couple of Superbowls. They barely ever played a complete game either. There's a fine line there. It's about having enough playmakers on the team to make winning plays.

Monday at 08:22 PM1 day 1 hour ago, twistr said:He was booted out of Miami because the head coach fostered a lackadaisical attitude within the players and they didn't want to work. Some coaches will change their style or stop caring, but that's not Fangio. He expects effort and for the players to care and take accountability and that was not the culture there. You've seen it over and over the last couple years with that team, they complain about being driven hard and there's never accountability. If he's lost this team, then yes, it'll go down fast, but I think right now it has more to do with injuries and bad fits at CB2 and safety 2. Mukuba has been fine to good, but he's not the ballhawk that CJGJ was and doesn't fit there as well. Not saying that there needs to be superstars at every position for Fangio's system to work, but need competence and smart players. I've seen some growing pains from some of our younger players out there and then add the hole that is CB2 right now as well as pass rush injuries, and it makes sense why we're getting gashed. Ideally our offense would cover that for us, but OL has been injured and up and down all year and the O is still figuring out what it is under yet another different and/or first time OC.I tend to think that the D will stabilize, especially if we trade for someone. We saw what happened when the OC loses the QB/team in 23 and I hope something stabilizes before then. I do think we're too predictable and the OC is taking too much of what Hurts wants into account. The only one that stretched Jalen out of his comfort zone often was Steichen and he performed best under him than any other OC. Moore did well last year, obviously, but that seemed more about the talent on the team and an OL that wouldn't be denied for the run. I don't think we have the right side of the line to do that this year, combined with the obvious issues with both Dickerson and worries about the back of Jurgens. We're going to have to find another way to get the offense into gear.Occam's Razor analysis for the D.Line didn't have Carter. CB2 ****s still. And we lost Q. LBs had a bad game for whatever reason, but surely the weaker line play hurt them, too. Add in the entire D was tired. From the back to back games, too many snaps, injuries and the O sucking some (less this game IMO).Edit: CB2 sucks still

If the Eagles are going to make a move to improve this team, it needs to be a move that will impact them for multiple years. The edge group that's not producing is the same edge group they are going to have next year, minus Uche and Ojulari.In 2026 they have Nolan Smith in his 4th year (luckily they have the 5th year option) who hasn't proven to be able to stay healthy, and they have Jalyx Hunt who clearly isn't ready to start. They have nothing else at edge. I'd rather them make a big move now for a young player who will be here for more than 1/2 a season and hopefully add some stability to the position. I don't want to go in to the 2026 draft with a glaring hole at Edge forcing them to have to nail a draft pick.I get it. I think Hendrickson would be reasonable because he's a short-term rental. His cost is just for this season and he doesn't keep you from re-signing Carter or the CBs. I think Chubb would be too expensive over the next 2 seasons. Phillips is less expensive than Hendrickson and also has one year left. The advantage over Hendrickson is that they could potentially keep him. If we were looking for a younger player, I would see if they could get Will McDonald from the Jets.
Monday at 08:24 PM1 day The good news is that this line can still pass block pretty effectively. While the run game just needs to keep the other side honest. Lack creativity and deception there. Not talent. Line doesn't have to necessarily be as dominant and overpowering as last year. Need a different recipe this year. Have not found it yet.

He's had 2 major injuries and his production has gone down every year. I mean if you can get him for a 5th, go for it. Anything more, I'm out.

Monday at 08:32 PM1 day The team needs more playmakers. Preferably on the D-Line. That's where its at and why Mahomey ran around like an idiot at the Superbowl. Never seen him look like that for an entire game. Want Hendrickson if available and healthy. We tried to skimp with the line already this offseason and didn't work. We straighten that one thing out and the whole defense looks and plays better. And then the offense hopefully can play complimentary football and keep the D off the dang field all game. And everybody stop worrying about the damn money. Worry about that in a couple years when you have a couple more Lombardys to look at. Howie finds ways with all of that. And I never worry about that.

Across 223 snaps, Phillips boasts a 75.2 PFF pass-rushing grade with 16 pressures and a 17.7% pass-rush win rate. Even with the Dolphins sitting 23rd in team pass-rush grade at edge rusher, Phillips has held up his end of the bargain.

Monday at 08:42 PM1 day 50 minutes ago, KINGnabb said:Despite these two terrible losses, the Eagles haven't lost much ground in the Conference. Lions lost knocking them to 4-2. Tampa beat the 9ers knocking them down to 4-2. They are 5-1 and leading the conference. But the Eagles have a tiebreaker over them. Rams also improved to 4-2 which the Eagles have a tiebreaker. Greenbay is 3-1-1. Even if Washington wins tonight they can only tie so obviously were hoping for a Bears win. So take care of business against Minny which is a conference match up.Standings-wise, not only is there no reason to panic, but we are about where we could ever hope to be when the season started. 3-3 at this point would have been more than reasonable. We are ahead of the sticks on that.The way the O is playing is reason to panic. At least a little. But there are a bunch of things we can do on O to be better. Specials just HAVE TO work on getting better field position. That is full blown, running around in circles with hair on fire, beyond F'd up, cannot wait even one more minute, emergency panic situation. Back to the O, field position is one of the contributing reasons the O sucks so badly. As are the procedural penalties. As is bunch v. spread. As is the weak run blocking and the ridiculous insistence on every single run being inside zone. As is QB1 holding the ball too long and throwing behind receivers. D needs a guy. Actually 2. One CB and one edge. Pretty much have to find a way to get both. MAYBE could live without the CB2 if you could get pressure. Maybe. Might have to. No way we can roll without another edge. Unless someone here is suiting up, we are out of players.
