Jurgens doesn't deserve to start. He isn't injured, just not a good center right now.

    Good news. I got an email back from VABeach_Eagle, he is ok. He has been tending to his mother's health as she's been in the hospital, and exhausted lately. He says he will be more available to log on

Just wtf was that throw....you are on the 17

Hurts tried to go hero ball too quick

Not defending Hurts in the slightest tonight because he was obviously dogcrap, but we’ve got to get the friggin plays in faster so he can actually look at the defense and make checks consistently. Goodness. There’s no excuse for this.

I’ve been saying it every d@mn week…he needs to sit in the box for a week. Or fire the guy feeding him info up there. Tonight was the worst I’ve seen all season. Hurts was trash for sure, but i don’t think a single QB in the league could have done much more with the limited time to process things. Pre snap is where Hurts excels…they’re not letting him this year.

I don’t understand why or how the trainers keep clearing Dickerson and Jurgens to play. But at this point, I’m blaming Stoutland. If he can’t get their backups to a level where they can allow the coaches to make the decision to get Dickerson and Jurgens off the field (and he can’t be the coach making that decision), then he’s the one torching the OL this year.

I actually thought about this tonight because they did it in another game with Johnson too. I have no idea how they pull these guys who sit on the bench for two full quarters but then just put them back out there an hour later.

Unless the answer is just drugs kicking in.

No, the #1 reason is playcalling. The right play calls were made, the issue is sending them in in a timely manner. You can only do so much to get up to the line, set protections and maybe change a route or read the D with 12 seconds on the play clock. Tonight was the worst I’ve seen with them getting to the line with no time.

Yeah, that's the reason why Hurts was inaccurate. Or didn't see open receivers. Or why OL missed blocks. Or why AJ and Smith dropped balls.

@mikemack8 has @EaglePhan1986 deek locked in his arse

Patullo: there was some overall improvement. The run game showed up. Still not great, but good enough to win.

Defense: played very good, good enough to win for sure.

Siri: the team this entire season has had a lot of penalties and mental mistakes, and lack of accountability for lack of effort and mistakes. Siri has not done his job to improve this team.

AJ Brown: 3rd 100 yard game in a row (3rd loss). He had drops. He complains but has to own his mistakes.

Jake: missed FG I'm not too mad at, but bad. Could've made a difference.

Hurts: the main reason they lost. The turnovers, the bad decisions, The bad throws, The missed open receivers, it was arguably his worst game of his NFL career.

He should be benched to send a message but Siri won't.

We MUST go into next season with a legitimate long term prospect to replace Hurts. #1 draft priority. Enough already. This team is too talented to be held back by one person every week.

If this season is going to go the way collapses typically go, then it feels like a game where they come out and play much better, but still find a way to lose it in a gut punch way at the end. And then the feeling after the game is "Damn, they correct X and Y and still lost, they really can’t stop the bleeding.”

And then they’ll come out dejected and lifeless against the Raiders. And probably still win because the Raiders are just that awful, but look really bad doing it. And that’s kind of the moment where everyone in the city completely checks out.

if this season were to be a collapse season, that’s the way it’ll probably go. Come out and win that game though and the chances of blowing the division are very slim.

Welp... if this season is to be a collapse, they're off to just this path.

Good luck in this draft…

I don’t think Lurie wants to move on from Sirianni but he probably thinks he moved on from Pederson later than he should’ve. I don’t know what it is like in the locker room but this kind of season after winning it all is bad.

Lurie and Howie like to control a lot. At this point, Howie has enough equity in this league that he can recruit and control a coach (when replacing Doug, it was a bit trickier to get a coach willing to take a back seat).

That said, it still gets a little complicated trying to find a coach that is willing to be deferential to a pre existing brain trust.

Congrats to all the Hurts haters for your Super Bowl victory tonight.

Tonight? The O has scored 3 tds in 2.5 games. I don't hate Hurts at all. I mean he was SB MVP in Feb. The O is just broken with him at the helm and obviously Sirianni has no answers. Something has to give imo.

At what point do you seriously bench Hurts to see what McKee can do?

Now

They were never gonna bench Hurts at halftime. The score was 10-6. Still a close game. If the Chargers were winning big at half then I can see sitting Hurts but not when its still a 4 point game.

Justin Herbert was pressured on 68.3% of his dropbacks per @NextGenStats (6/14 for 112 with an INT) and only saw a blitz on 12.2% of his dropbacks (obv Fangio doesn’t like to blitz if he can get base pressure).

And we lost.

It was 1st and 10. Just a garbage throw and decision.

Can we get Jason back at Center?

Nah. Start McKee and see what he can do

One thing that I have rated in Hurts is that he comes up big in critical moments or have to have it type drives. That has been missing this year:

  • Dumb sack to end the Dallas game

  • INT in OT today

  • 2 chances against Broncos came to nothing

  • Failed to put away games multiple times forcing D back on the field
