11 hours ago11 hr 2 minutes ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said:think bigger coincidence is having 9 turnovers in 3 games and losing games. Eagles had 8 turnovers in 4 games to start 2024 and were 2-2. Without aj for 3 of those 4 games were 1-2. That’s also a coincidence that when we are a turnover machine we tend to lose.The eagles could’ve had 7 turnovers last night if not for an overturned INT and covey recovering his own fumble. thats absolutely ridiculous they had a chance at 7Turnovers can be the result of forcing plays to players or holding the ball hoping for players to get open or bouncing off whiney board handed players.

People are going to say the Raiders this, the Raiders that, the Raiders suck. Here is how the teams they have played faired against the Raiders at home.Bo Nix, 16 of 28 for 150 yards, 1 TD and 2 interceptions in a 10-17 win.Herbert, 15 of 20 for 151 yards, 2 TD's and 1 interception in a 31-14 win.Mahomes, 26 of 35 for 286 yards and 3 TD's in a 31-0 win.Daniel Jones, 20 of 29 for 212 yards and 2 TD's in a 40-6 win.Mariota, 15 of 21 for 207 yards and a TD in a 41-24 win.Drake Maye, 30 of 6 for 287 yards, 1 TD and 1 int in a 20-13 loss in week 1.So lets say for some reason that I can not think of yet, that Tanner McKee starts this Sunday, and goes 18 of 32 for 240 yards, 2 TD's and 1 interception, and the Eagles win 27-10. What would the narrative be?

I have no doubt that Mckee would look excellent next week en route to a big win and the best passing performance by any QB all year for the Eagles. But it won't be real.And with the Hurts offense, we are probably looking at a vintage 2024 game where they run for 200+ and Hurts only needs to go 10-12 for 110 yards and 1 TD in order to win the game comfortably. As bad as our run blocking has been, there is ZERO chance the Raiders hang in there in the trenches if the Eagles keep pounding the football. And that's not real either.That's what happens when you play an out-of-conference team competing for the #1 overall pick late in the year. It's not a "get right" game. It's going to be the equivalent of playing your starters for 4 quarters in the last preseason game and scheming up everything against a team that is wondering wtf you are doing.Sounds like a great opportunity for a QB that hasn't played much

Or maybe our Qb has not played very well cause he’s not played well. Pass offense has had issues consistently for 2 years. Bigger issues than AJ
11 hours ago11 hr Pretty wild how they were 8-2 and up 21-0 on Dallas and now sit at 8-5 after losing three straight. The roller coaster of this team is just incredible.

Some will just be happy to see something differentSome may even be upset because they're hoping to lose out so Lurie fires Nick and KP
11 hours ago11 hr 14 minutes ago, DrPhilly said:The fault of the pass not being complete was on AJ. Yes, Hurts made it tougher than it needed to be but Brown should still have made the catch and that's 100% on AJ.This should be universally accepted as correct.

Anyway, you don't have to worry about a narrative because he isn't playing.

Hurts just stunk, and with remotely average QB play the Eagles win the game. That's as obvious as the earth rotating around the sun.

Hurts just stunk, and with remotely average QB play the Eagles win the game. That's as obvious as the earth rotating around the sun.I’m fine putting 100 percent of the loss on Hurts. He sucked. A merely bad game by him ends with a victory. Instead we got a disaster class. But AJ has to make that catch. No excuses.
11 hours ago11 hr My assumption is that the Eagles, even as currently constructed, can beat the Raiders and Washington 2X which will win the division. I picked them to be 12-5 before the season and they'll likely be 11-6 and the NFC #3 seed. If that holds, the likely current scenario would have them playing the 49ers at home in a 3 vs 6 matchup. I would hate to lose to those turds to end a season. If they win at home, they would go to Lambeau and likely lose to the Packers. That ending seems more likely.

Hurts just stunk, and with remotely average QB play the Eagles win the game. That's as obvious as the earth rotating around the sun.1% on AJ? Really? What about the TD he dropped? The deep ball on the first drive he dropped? The ball he tipped that was intercepted? That's 1%? Nah. AJ was bad, with some good moments. Hurts was bad, with some good moments. Pretty much everyone on offense was bad, with some good moments. That might have been Hurts' worst game as a professional. I'll grant that, and I'm no Hurts apologist. But, he had plenty of help with the suckage that happened last night. By no means was it 98% Hurts.
