Maybe he gets nerves and hides it well or he just has bad luck.The clutch bone is a real thing. As hard as I am on Hurts, he’s proven he will come up big on the biggest stage. Lots of elite players cannot do it (McNabb).Hitting a MLB pitcher is one of the hardest things to do in sports, and baseball is funny in that the guys who can’t hit in the playoffs will seemingly always come up to the plate in huge spots. IIRC, even an all-time great like Mike Schmidt went something like 1-for-21 in the 1983 World Series against Baltimore. I thought sure the Phillies would win that series.Golf is another great example. You just knew Colin Montgomerie would never win a major, as good as he was. Same for Steve Stricker. Just no tummy. I’d bet money Ricky Fowler will never win a major either.
Yesterday at 03:56 AM1 day I am seeing a guy who still gets open 1 on 1. And a terrible deep ball thrower in Patrick Mahomes. Hurts is gonna like this new toy.

They won the Super Bowl and Howie flat out told the world, we aren't going to be able to keep everyone and we have some very tough decisions coming. And this is still true....or perhaps you'd like them to sign all the big time free agents out there and not be able re-sign Carter, Q and Coop?? But then you'd be on here screaming from the rooftops, we signed all that dreck and we lost our best players!The way you're screaming on here, you make it sound like it's the 80's and 90's and this team hasn't recently won 2 Super Bowls and they haven't been the 2nd best team in the NFL since 2000.Yes, it's unfortunate that we lost players the last 2 years, this was due to a massive investment in the offense with massive contracts upcoming on the defense. Here is really the only place or reason that we all should criticize......when you have that massive investment in the offense, and you already witnessed the Brian Johnson fiasco just 2 years prior and Howie and Lurie had to jump in and get Fangio and Moore.....how the f'ing f do you allow Sirianni to repeat the same f'ing mistake with Patullo? How the f when you know you have a limited window and you are going to lose players that you'd love to keep due to cap constraints do you f'ing allow Patullo?!?!?? It's like having a Ferrari and you put the keys in the hands of a Mentally Challenged blind person.And even with all of this.....I never thought in my lifetime, I would see the Eagles win a Super Bowl let alone two. I lived and watched (or even had to listen on the radio because games were blacked out) during the 80's and 90's. I was at the last game at the Vet vs. Tampa in the NFCCG. I witnessed the Fog Bowl vs. Chicago. I witnessed Bryce Paup going low on Randall, in the year where the Eagles arguably had maybe the best defense in NFL history and had to use 6 different QB's, go 10-6 and not even make the playoffs.Is this team perfect? No! Is Howie perfect? No! But goddamn some of you ungrateful, whiney ****es just sound like flat out puzzies.

He was completely disinterested, lacked focus, gave a half assed effort, and flat out quit on the team.I think you are making emotional observations because losing the game hurt your feelings. The team has to separate emotions from decision making. 2 things are true about Brown. He is a top WR in the League. He made some costly mistakes in key moments last season. The other issue is that he is entering his age 30 season and the Eagles are unlikely to want to extend him. So he is at a professional crossroads where he likely has one more shot at a big contract in the League. Keep in mind that Brown sees how the Eagles will nickel and dime veterans who underperform their deals. A trade is the best way to get a new contract. He cannot force his release. Howie does not want to extend Brown for big money. He knows that Brown will have less value at 30 than he does currently. He also knows that the team will not be as good with him gone. He is not going to be replaced with Hollywood Brown or a late first round pick. He has a QB that, historically, does not spread around targets. Not having a difference maker at WR is a detriment to the team. The question for Howie, in a trade, is whether the compensation for Brown in a trade prior to the season outweighs the value of a trade after the season. If the team has a 25% better chance at winning the Super Bowl with Brown this upcoming season, is that better than a 1st round pick in 2027? Is Howie concerned that Hurts may not be the answer and getting another pick for 2027 allows them to potentially better find his replacement. Could a player like Kenyon Sadiq replace Brown's production sufficiently?

Another is he could give the same bland, standard answer that he's excited to play with him, respect what he's done vs debating a panel, pushing back on resistance to his point, and praise Hurts with superlatives.

IMO, he was far less dynamic as a runner than in past years. I don't think the Eagles should need him to be that; my preference is Hurts takes off on 3rd downs when necessary to move the sticks and sustain drives -- get down, get out of bounds and minimize hits.I'd also like to see the Tush Push mothballed. Both our C and LG played like Betty White last season, and I suspect as teams get better at defending it the wear and tear on their bodies increases.

Freeling is the exact type of project OT that our new o-line coach will ruin. He will play 3 snaps in the pre-season, look lost and sit on the 3rd team for the next 2 seasons. Zion Young is the perfect DE for when we switch to a 4-3 under Gym Shorts next season. Bryce Lance will catch some deep passes in the pre-season but not play a regular season snap. This is will be especially confounding because Hollywood Brown will retire before the season and the team will trade AJ Brown camp during training camp.
