I want a home run hitting running back in this draft. Are there any in the mid rounds?

Such a big missed call - the refs were awful and about as one-sided as I have seen in a long time

Funny how many times they replayed this talking about the play and the TD and didn’t even mention the hold.

This is why I think Patullo and Johnson sucked:

Nick has said numerous times that each offensive coordinator runs his offense. He sets the frame work, and they build within that.

When you hire a Steichen or a Moore who were previously OC’s in different schemes, they’re able to add unique flares and wrinkles and ingenuity to Nick’s framework.

But when Nick hires from within, he’s elevating guys who only know what he knows. The offense becomes nothing more than the framework, basic and conservative as humanly possible.

Howie will get him to bring in a new guy with fresh ideas, and suddenly everyone will think Sirianni is a stud again

Only the dummies that like CEO coaches will.

If you think he had an open guy here its because you are in a cult and have an agenda.

I don’t remember a season where I saw less guys open. Like ever.

If Siri says, "KP stays".... then they can both go. Same as with Doug.

I'd be fine with that. Hopefully they force Siri to fire KP and bring in someone else like they did with Moore. But if Siri has to go to replace KP, then so be it. I'd be fine either way honestly, as long as KP is gone.

He used up all of his seniority and karma and good grace from the Super Bowl win on Patullo.

it would be different if he bailed in week 8 or 10 but he went all in.

That's not even the real issue, it was after Super Bowl so your candidate choices were limited. No one expects to hire a truly bottom of the barrel candidate, but they probably didn't expect their choices to be any better.

In reality the mistake that should be learned after this is much more fundamental: For some reason (It's Hurts), you have a target on your back when it comes to hiring head coaches. That means you need to do what Miami does. Miami carried two OC worthy candidates into the season behind their OC. You need to actually keep a quality successor handy, if you want to sustain Super Bowl level success.

They thought lightning wouldn't strike twice, but we're the Eagles, we're the one fanbase where it absolutely can strike twice.

There's no A game when you have a bunch of amateurs coaching against professionals. They never put him in a position to succeed.

He outplayed Purdy tonight but the result is massively different because the Niners have professional coaches and we have asshats who belong in high school.

Hurts is not an all timer but he has clearly demonstrated that he's capable of playing at a very high level when put in position. Same as AJ and Saquon.

I would say Hurts was average today. Not bad, not great.

But agree the issue all year was an offense with a bad scheme that was poorly called

The 49ers ran an offense in a cave! with scraps! and they got guys open all night.

Steen gets no real movement in the run game though. He should go back to the bench but I have a feeling the team thinks, "we're fine there"...

Nobody got any real movement in the run game.

Barkley got over 1000 yards this year through sheer willpower

He had 100 yards today and it was the most unforgettable 100 yards Incan remember, hed break off a 20 yard run followed by two runs in a row where he got blasted in the backfield.

Out of the 5 OLineman on this team that were a problem this year and gling forward id put steen dead last.

Jurgens is top of that list, he was the worst rated starting OL in the league, not just center the worst starting OL.

Dickerson is next, hes getting more and more hurt every year and declining year after year.

Lane simply because hes old and always hurt, he was the eagles best OL this year when healthy but he was rarely healthy.

Mailata is fine, he needs to have a bounce back year and I think he can.

Steen is fine cant have all pros at every position but it would be nice if he were a better run blocker on a team that wants to run.

Having said that Hurts could have made up for some of those deficiencies by running but for whatever reason he didnt, couldnt or wouldnt run this year ☹️

That’s the best you got? I feel bad for how much you clearly got picked on growing up.

You were that kid all the teachers had to tell the other kids to stop bullying, they would, and then you’d just go back on your stupid $hit, bring it on yourself, and play victim

I'm the kid that Fed the hot teachers. You're the kid who wished he did. Goober.

Need to bring back 3rd down machine Nelson Agholor

They have a qb who can throw from the pocket, fogtag

I’m not putting the all of the offensive woes on Patullo. Every single player (besides Smith) seemed to have lost half a step

How inept Patullo is seems unarguable to me

They shouldn't have hired from within

This has to be the best play in your playbook and they called their third timeout for this, which essentially meant the Niners could run out the clock.

Yup. And Hurts threw it into triple coverage because he was staring down Goedert the entire time. Meanwhile, the in to the left was much more open, because of how much he manipulated the LB right to where he was looking to throw the ball. Or throw it to either of the 1 on 1's and hope that your receiver can win, but don't throw it into triple coverage.

They were limited because Nick wanted his friend which was reported weeks before it happened

Yeah... Howie is truly a wizard when it comes to those things, so I can't say it can't happen. But it seems unlikely. Then again, I also said the same thing about Demarco Murray and Byron Maxwell, and he got them traded off too.

Either way changes need to be made for next year. Maybe a new oc will be enough. But I doubt it
