I’ve seen several that call Hurts out for poor play (and fairly so) but I’ve not seen anyone defend KP. I think everyone here is on the same page that he needs to go

Not so fast @HazletonEagle has some words. KP is awesome and Hurts should play another sport

Absolutely, when hurts has a bad game some of it is patullo and when hurts has a good game he does so overcoming patullo.

Every game Hurts has to beat the opposing defense plus his own OC...☹️

Ringo is a very good ST player to be fair. He's a bad CB. Where he was picked that probably around the expected outcome

I’d argue giving up a 3rd to move up to get him they likely thought he was going to be better than what he’s become at corner. Imo also didn’t let slay (was leaving anyway), Rodgers go and sign adoree cause they thought adoree would be better than those two and beat out ringo. They thought ringo would make the jump to be a starter.

Now if we’re gonna say as a fourth round pick, this is probably what you expect. That is a different story. But what the eagle expected by giving up what they did at the time they drafted him and then later the moves they made this off-season. Tells me they thought he would be much better of a player at corner than what he’s become.

Not really because the narrative (for some) would have been McKee had a good game against a bad team in a meaningless week 18 game.

I think if he had the starters with him, especially the defense, they win this game.

If he is ever going to get serious credibility, he'll have to play good in a meaningfull game against a good team. Then have to do it again and again and again.

I am not sure what you were watching but the key mistakes made by McKee were huge mental mistakes. Coaches forgive physical mistakes all the time. A receiver choosing wrong on an option route…ok…just don’t make it a habit. A mistake on a hustle play…ok.

McKee’s lapses of judgement in key moments are a huge flaming red flag and completely inexcusable. The first was one of the opening drives in the third quarter. Down 3 they needed a sustained drive and had a great first down gain. Facing a short conversion McKee chose to give up a sure first down for a contested pass…incompletion leads to 3 and out. And…with game on the line multiple passes downfield to receivers completely out of bounds…that was not the yips. QB are hard wired to focus on making sure receivers have a chance for the ball. Again..a high throw, a throw behind the receiver, a late throw are physical mistakes. What I witnessed on several occasions reflect really badly on his mental preparation.

Hazelton Eagle has done a lot of KP defending and instead redirecting all the criticisms of the offense back onto Hurts.

Yeah eagles expectations were higher. I'm just saying his actual draft position

I'm hoping this game - and the season in general on offense - makes someone on the offensive side of the ball realize it's time to run the ball - and keep running it until it works - get back to controlling the game on offense - then open up the game with some solid passing once the running game has been established. They might have a decent chance of winning a few playoff games that way - knowing that our defense will come in and dominate.

Not unless they bench jurgens

Just about everyone complaining about resting the starters right now lol. Pretty much everyone was pro-rest. I was one of few who absolutely wanted to play the starters. So I'm on the same page there. Giving up the 2 seed like that is crazy to me. Think of all the little things that Howie and the Eagles do to put us in position to succeed in January. But now when it comes to potentially playing a home vs away divisional round game, we're just giving it away for a little rest? Crazy.

But there are a bunch of people in here and on twitter who are freaking out now that the Bears lost. They scoffed at the idea of playing the starters a day ago.

probably bc many of them gave lions no shot since they supposedly had nothing to play for

I said this during the off-season, do not just hand Ringo the starting job. And signing adore Jackson shouldn’t have been the competition. The were expecting him to dog walk adoree and then Jackson would be a back up. Imo it was always a fake competition for ringo to win. So he had to be really and to lose it.

Credit to adoree he’s been better as the season has gone along. However i think the Phillips addition made the pass rush so much better that you can hide him more. The only thing with the defense I’m worried about is if they run into a team with a good offensive line that can slow down their pass rush that allows them to attack Jackson more. (Not entirely true I’m worried the offense being putrid will run them into the ground too)

They should have let Scott Loefler call this game

Rodgers almost had his famous free play lol it's amazing he's still able to get it now

True, but Shanahan has his weaknesses. Most notably, he's way too conservative. He'll punt/kick on just about every 4th down. That could give us a slight edge.

Shanny’s weakness is he’s too smart for his own good. He’s schizo with his play calling, it’s all over. When it works it works…but he’s like the anti bizarro patullo. Instead of a tiny playbook with bad sequencing and design, he’s got 36 binders with bad sequencing.

Sometimes it feels like Patullo is actively working for the opponent
