I’m pretty steadfast in my support of Wentz, but I was asking myself last night if Hurts should be in there to start the second half.  It was embarrassing when they showed a graphic last night late in the game where Wentz and DiNucci had nearly identical stat lines.

It felt like a bad goaltender game last night where it got out of hand. I thought they should have pulled him, give him the bye week to get right, and then bring him back after that. Nothing permanent, just a message to say that you can’t keep doing this stupid crap.

Even though he's a rental I would have done it for a 6th. Helps out in the secondary and in the PR game.

Dave was actually blasting the team on the post-game show last night. I was shocked. He said watching the game made him want to vomit in his mouth.

I guess he's only a company man 23 hours a day. 

Immediate emotional responses are permitted.  By sunrise the next day, he has to clean it up.

Scared shirtless of the eagles?

 

Your glass is always half full,  I'll give you  that 

The team you hate to face in the playoffs is a veteran team that gets healthy the second half and is on a roll.

If the Eagles get some of their OL back, and Goedert and Ertz at TE, and Sanders at RB, the kiddie WRs will suddenly find the field less crowded - the advantage of the first half is they got a crash course in NFL football which is far more valuable in a season without exhibition games. Give Wentz a real OL, a running game, and multiple targets that can separate, and the voice in the back of my head keeps saying he'll revert back to form.

Put it this way, what NFC is better than a healthy Eagles team. Seattle. That's it.

If I'm the rest of the NFC, I'm scared shitless by the Eagles.

Despite a ridiculous run of injuries (Dillard, Brooks, Seumalo, Lane, Peters, Driscoll), Sanders, Jeffrey, Jackson, Reagor, Ertz, Goedert, we're still scoring 21 ppg.

Look at the Dallas offense with Dalton, when they had a similar run of OL injuries,  and that's with Elliott and Cooper, Lamb and Gallup. The year before, Dalton in 13 games in Cincy, threw for 3494 yards and 16 TDs. In 2 1/2 games in Dallas behind a broken OL he threw for 454 yards and 1 TD.

Wentz is in a funk, but a lot of that is due to a crazy year with no chance to build any chemistry, a broken OL that struggles to provide any sort of run game without Sanders, and a kiddie corp receiving group that he never had a chance to work with in preseason, and whom lack game experience, including exhibition game experience.

Now the Eagles get a bye to welcome back the walking wounded and try and develop some chemistry on both sides of the ball.

Lane, Driscoll will finally mean they have OL depth, either Mailata as swing T, or Peters moves inside to OG, Driscoll backs up 4 spots

Ertz - expected back toward the end of November (miss 2-3 more games?)

Sanders is a big play RB, not just rushing but a top receiver who can beat most LBs on wheel routes.

Jeffrey week to week, he could provide depth, behind Fulgham but probably ahead of Ward, Hightower

Seumalo, Brooks ??? - Brooks is already working out, not clear how severe Seumalos' injury was or when he might return. If they could return before the playoffs, watch out world.

Malik, Wallace, any CB that can fog a mirror will help the defense.

Jackson, Ridgeway, Dillard, gone for the year

Come on Howie... Let's have the team play one good game for a full 60 minutes first.

Arizona

LA Rams 

 

 

Eagles are a frustrating team right now, its really that simple. On paper, I don't think they are a bad team, but somethings not translating to the field. Even with all the injuries Eagles should be at worst right now 5-3 heading into the bye, if not 6-2. But Wentz is a roller coaster right now. And coaching is making questionable decisions every game. And we just simply cannot play one complete game from both sides of the ball. They need to enter this bye and take a long look at themselves in the mirror and figure it out. Do a hard reset or change something up because whatever they are doing now isn't working and I don't think it will magically get better.

This play was annoying. It's 4 and 3 and Wentz is staring down Fulgham I believe when we have the bunch set with Ward and Reagor both immediately open for the first down.

Tra hits on the biggest problem.  3 seconds left and there's no time to call the protection before the ball is snapped.  This is partly on Doug. I think Wentz and Kelce deserve the other parts of the blame but Fing call a time out Doug.

I'll give you that the Eagles could be much improved by the end of the year.  But just because guys are coming back healthy doesnt mean they'll stay healthy.

Hmmm, maybe we should cut McCown......

They'll never do it, but if they care about winning they should use the bye to get Hurts ready and start him next week. This isn't a small sample with Wentz and he hasn't been the same since the knee injury. You drafted Hurts for a reason. They used a 2nd rounder on him, it's not like they used a 7th. That's a big investment. He looked really athletic on some runs a few weeks ago. He throws a decent ball. Fing play him.

They never will because Doug is either too much of a coward or Howie's ego won't allow his multi million dollar man to be benched because it'll mean he made a mistake in extending him.

imagine working for the org. and actually calling them out, without losing your job.  i think dave, as well as the coverage crew are allowed some ability to criticize the team, but they cannot be overly critical.  or at least be beat writer/tater level in their assessment of the team.  like they cannot lampoon the team / coach / players even if they do head-scratching things.  and maybe have to end any criticization on something upbeat, instead of calling something for what it is.

i bet even dave may have his days where he questions what he's reporting or saying to the masses.  somewhere inside is still the dave that spat on the dallas star.

Wentz is the problem he is worse than Baker Mayfield 

Just watched the game cause I missed it last night and I’ll say this 

Thank God we play in the NFC East or this team would be 1-6-1 right now. The only reason this team has 3 wins is because SF is on life support and the NFC EAST all decided to tank for Trevor. 
 

This team will win the East with 5 wins. After the bye we may beat NYG and it could easily be 5 straight losses to CLE, SEA, GB, NO and AZ.

A good running back would have had 150 yards rushing last night.  Scott is just ok.  He definitely isn't a good running back.  He missed a few big runs by the angles he did or didn't take.  Clement is garbage.  I need to see more Huntley.  

Scott was killing it in the 1st qtr last night then Doug quit giving him the ball.

What about the investment in Wentz?

Its not courageous to scapegoat your QB when the coaching is half-arse at best.

They need to work this out together and if they cant, it will say much more about the coaches than Wentz, who is clearly talented and has years of film playing at a pretty high level

 

They should have never drafted Hurts, and bringing him in to get +/- 5 yards isn't worth it at all.  Almost half the time he comes in, its a dead play or a loss of yardage.  Stupid.   

A Hurts offense would look more like DiNucci than Wentz last night, only able to move the ball through gimmicks

He probably got called into the office and was told to remember what they pay him to do.

Carson is a Turnover machine. The INTs are one thing but how on Gods green Earth has he not figured out how to protect the ball while being hit is beyond me. It’s seems every time Carson gets hit the ball comes out.
