Not that he was wide open or anything, but it’s 1-on-1 with a 6-5 TE vs a 5-10 backup S. Lots of space to put the ball.

That and Alshon had a first down fairly open as well 

Wentz really sucks this season

I dunno...working pretty well in KC. Of course, with the WCO personnel is everything. As is playcalling.

More-so because it’s been a staple for almost 30 consecutive years here. I’m ready to see something different.

Wentz on 3rd n 3 going through his progressions: 

1st read : hmmm he’s open but that play isn’t big enough 

2nd read: ehhh he’s open too but why get the first down on a pathetic curl route ? 
 

3rd read: *seam route towards the endzone not to be used as an actual option but only to open up space for receivers underneath, receiver is double covered*

wentz: bingo  time to wind up and unload 

*sacked* 

 

Week after week. This is our qb. 

Agholar still sucks.

The offense just has no confidence. They’re all playing and coaching not to lose. That’s the only thing I can think of that’s happening. All it takes is one mistake for Pederson and Wentz to lose confidence. 

That’s the Agholor we’ve grown to expect. 

As I ruminate over the Eagles’ absolute head scratching decisions, the Hargrave contract inches towards the top of the list.

In an offseaon in which the GM was under some real fire for his bloated contracts, specifically to DL who don’t disrupt the game, he invested $40m in a backup rotational DT.

Now they need to pay Hargrave $13m in 2021 and will then release him...and he’ll still carry a $4m cap hit in 2022 while being off the team.

I don't see how Lurie can't see this stuff. But, the problem is that Howie is his go to guy when it comes to personnel moves.  I don't know if Lurie discusses this stuff with Smolinski or not.  But, multiple bad contracts...no players from the 2017 draft are on this team...reaches for project players in Round 2 and 3 last year when we had greater needs...aging OL with not many decent backup players...JJAW, etc.

Howie used to be able to trade for good younger players. But, now he hasn't been able to do that for years.

I wonder if the players have any confidence in the plays that are being called. I also wonder how much confidence these receivers have in Carson Wentz right now. I feel very much this way I think the offense is we’re gonna run these plays because we like these plays and we believe they’re going to work. I don’t think we tailor our offense or plays to the personnel that we have enough.

When I watch the Buffalo Bills with Josh Allen they tailored the offense to what he does best and how to maximize it. When they struggle is when they get away from that. Or that teams take that away. They tailored that offense to what Stefon Diggs does best. It’s why he’s on pace to have his best season of his career. Then I go and look in Arizona. They move Kyler Murray all over the place. in the pocket and outside the pocket make it so he has easier throws. They utilize his legs as a weapon in that offense to set things up. Let’s go to the Rams. I think we all can agree Jared Goff is not an elite quarterback but Sean McVay gets the most out of him a majority of the time by playing to his strengths and setting to the offense up to the personnel he has. And they frankly don’t have a burner anymore since they traded away cooks. Yet they’re able to manufacture big play. I like Robert Wood I don’t think Roberts wood is a top 15 wide receiver but they have allowed him to be one of the most consistent threat on that offense

I never liked that signing and have been saying that since it happened.  Such bad roster management.  This team is a mess.  Howie should have known they were up against the cap in 2021.  Brining in Hargrave made no sense at all.  

Someone needs to look up the all time lowest yards per catch for a WR with over 50 receptions over one season in NFL history.  I swear Ward is going to shatter it.

He’s going to reach 50 rec and his ypc rounds up to 7.3 and is trending down.

They run those little WR dump off passes to help the OL. But, I don't know why Doug and the coaches can't get this team running pick routes more often.  Many teams do it and it's a way to get easy catches and sometimes those little rub routes can lead to big gains.  I  think we probably run the least amount of those in the league.

I was excited about it honestly. Everything I read about him was how great of a player he is & how much better he could be in Eagles system. Hargrave being a JAG is surprising honestly

I’m guessing the reason he would probably say about Hargrave is that he didn’t know what type of player malik Jackson would be after that injury. The fact was malik Jackson was not very good in 2018 and then he had a major injury the first week of the season in 2019. So I’m guessing how he was afraid Malik would never get back to his 2017 form when making that move.

Nevertheless I wouldn’t have made that move either. I didn’t think they needed to overpay for a defensive tackle. I thought they would’ve been better off just drafting one and using that money and putting it towards wide receiver. I thought it was idiotic to just going to the draft and expecting us to just walk away with a day one starter at wr when we haven’t drafted well to begin with. And then on top of it they were just gonna rely on to DeSean to stay healthy and JJAW  to turn around in an off-season during a pandemic. 

Not at the Eagles could afford to make the move for Stefon Diggs or DeAndre Hopkins but both of those guys are one and two in receiving in the league. And Kyler Murray and Josh Allen look immensely better than what they did last year

Players aren't good enough. Coaches aren't good enough. GM isn't good enough. It's Jeffrey Lurie time.

This season really feels like the 2012 season. 2011 they finish the season hot and it was fools gold. The end of 2019 the Eagles got hot but won a bad division to make the playoffs. That felt a lot like fools gold they beat some of the worst football teams in the NFL. Now this year they have a bunch of injuries and the offense just hasn’t look good. 

You knew the Chiefs were going to march down the field and at least tie this game with how much time the Raiders left on the clock

The was some of the worst situational defense I've ever seen.

Carr actually had Ruggs for a gamewinner there but he underthrew it by 5 yards.

Hargrave gets the benefit of the doubt from me. He had an injury significant enough that he misses all of TC with it but "doesn’t need surgery” which is a code word around here for he probably does. With that said, the team would probably be better off giving his money to James Bradberry and having two legit corners than a #3 DT

I don’t know maybe it’s the injury. I just have a feeling the Steelers have a very good defense. They have a lot of pass rushers on that team. I think playing alongside those guys can make someone look a lot better than what they are. The Steelers if they want to keep you are willing to spend the money to keep you and they didn’t do that for him. He was a young defensive lineman. the Steelers usually are pretty good about keeping the guys they want too and letting the ones they believe they can live without go. 

I also say this, I think Darius slay has played great this year outside of maybe that last Giants game. Would like some more turnovers from him but I feel like teams are purposely attacking our other bad corners and safeties so he’s not getting as many opportunities. However with how this roster is constructed and where we are going, I feel like we’re going to waste the last couple of good years of his career.

KC goes 75 yards in 7 plays in just over a minute for the game winner. Eagles offense didn’t even know that was legal.

Hey in the Eagles defense, they let the Browns go 79 yards in 4 plays to get a touchdown so clearly they do lol

Can’t have it both ways though. When Fulgham was the talk of the town, Wentz was his QB then as well. 

Told everyone to hold on till he plays a for a while before jumping to conclusions.  There’s a reason dude has been cut 4 times.  
 

Back ta earth for Fulgoat
