They talk about the predictability of the offense and how AJ was right

For me, the issue was never whether or not AJ was right or not. The issue was did making his cryptic comments public actually do anything to help the situation? Seems it did not, and if anything, it made it worse.

Has a team been this stacked on paper and the coaches just suck?

The 2023 staff sucked more. At least we have a good Defensive Coordinator.

This has been going on for a while. Their offense has scored 21 points or less in 7 of 8 games. Way too many people bought stock into the giants and Vikings games before the buy. The Giants are terrible and the eagles offense scored 3 times against Vikings but the offensive success was largely out of structure plays

You didn't quote anyone so I don't know who you're talking about but Hurts has said the offense is the way it is because it's how he wants it. The franchise QB who makes the contract he gets does have a strong say in how it's run. That's obviously excluding the TE and RB questionables

It's possible Hurts likes hitch routes and this vanilla offense. Otherwise don't you think he'd tell them privately and they'd listen to their franchise QB?

He doesn't want to run anymore which is understandable but there's give and take with that. He could just run outside and slide early or go out of bounds

He's good at throwing to the middle but they don't do it much. So he's good but clearly not a fan of throwing to the middle

Just to clarify, did Hurts say this season the offense is "his" offense?

Eagles are gonna do against LAC what they did right before the bye - run a bunch of tendency breakers with moderate success.

It will fool many of us for a week or 2, and we’ll be right back where we are now by end of season, just having wasted another few weeks

Also, I may have hit my head and don't fully remember, but why are people pretending Moore got the most out of Hurts? The passing game was wildly inconsistent and had some terrible stretches last year. That was with a much, much stronger OL and being able to let Saquon go win the game.

Because people mostly just remember the last two games, and the passing game struggles didn't impact the overall offense as much because we could lean on a dominant run game.

But you are right, passing was inconsistent at best and mostly a struggle for majority of the year - all the way until Week 13 vs Panthers. We won that game with Hurts throwing for a little over 100 yards and it let to all these types of articles

How Jalen Hurts feels about being the QB on a run-first team

Jalen Hurts on Wednesday explained his thoughts on the transformation of the Eagles’ offense this season.

I think this team would lose to Temple right now. Their basketball team. In a game of football.

I'm saying if Temple's basketball team put on pads and played us in a game of football, I think they would win.

I hate to say it but the defense is our problem. The defense is just not doing enough. They need to take it to another level and start scoring 15 to 20 points a game. I know they have that in them but they just aren't realizing their full potential.

When you have a bad OL you need to make quick decisions. That's not Hurts. You need to be accurate, which also isn't Hurts. He played well with two amazing OLs and two amazing WRs. Credit him for that, but throw in the story about him not wanting to run now and he brings nothing special, which we are seeing. Holding the ball and not screwing up isn't enough for me. I will gladly see what McKee can do. If he sucks then we know it's not on Hurts once and for all. If he plays well then Hurts needs to go because we clearly see his indecisiveness and inability to think quickly on his feet is holding them back. I honestly think some Hurts lovers (not you) are scared to see McKee play for that reason. The offense has absolutely sucked this year so if the kid plays it's not like things will get much worse.

I don't benching Hurts will happen this season absent an injury. I don't think we will see McKee starting. Even if he starts and they look better, I can't see the offense looking like Ben Johnson is the coordinator.

Need to promote Vic Fangio to Offensive Coordinator.

I am not condoning it but from the video of it, I think it was teenagers doing it.

Clearly. See below

I guess this is possible, but I'm going to heavily disagree. We lost the one seed. We're currently in jeopardy to potentially lose the division. The players are obviously frustrated.

Letting Nick try to "figure it out" and be willing to tank the season in order to do is a sign of a much, much bigger issue with this franchise.

Well then perhaps instead of being so vague you could actually say what you what you want to say. Just a thought. There is a "big issue with this franchise" is obvious and has been pointed out time and time again. Just because people want to see something done to try to fix things doesn't make them ignorant to the fact that Patullo is only a part of the problem. He is the easiest one to fix right now though.

You think Carter, Davis or the vanilla gorilla can play guard? Maybe just bring one in as a fullback and have them truck somebody?

Maybe do a jet sweep to Dejean.

I mean the defense is already spending twice as much time on the field as the offense so why not have them play both ways.

Yep. He's missing the point yet again. It wasn't AJ's overall message, it was how he went about it and his motives.

Eggs, fine. It was stupid but pranks happen. I'm worried now that someone confirmed it that someone crazy will burn his house down. Then we'll have to rally around him and denounce mental health instead of firing him.

No. He is either making things up or at the very least twisting some throw away comment to try to further his agenda. Fred Sanford would have a field day with this guy.
