There's being a half full kind of guy and then there's a bat poop crazy kind of guy 

Your and be statement suggests the latter.

Pryor Sucks, if be confident in calling him the worst starting RT in the league he's awful, having him in the game against a guy like riddick could be a winston justice against Osi situation.

 

I honestly think they are gonna be fine. Pryor isn’t an ideal guy I’d like to lean on but with Hurts it will be more quick passes leaning on a strength of our line which is running more with Sanders and if Jalen has shown anything his best trait so far is pocket awareness. He move in the pocket.

 Because his speed is 3 rookies who struggled this season. Reagor Hightower and Watkins haven’t been productive of yet. Although I agree and Reagor is seeming to come along now. 

Reagor still doesn't look like his advertised 4.22 speed. If you watch plays with Hill then you can see his speed. Reagor hasn't shown that IMO

Most of us hope so, but where is this confidence that Howie will be fired coming from?  Joe Banner gave it a 10% chance.  Not sure who would know better.

Banner hasn't been here since 2012. I don't think he has any more of a clue than anybody in this Blog, quite frankly. It's very possible that Lurie does keep Howie, but Banner pretending he knows the odds is laughable.

With a 17 point lead heres what the Eagles offense did

Pass, run, Pass, Pass, Run, Pass, Pass, Run run (stopped on 4th down)

 

 

 

In that drive:

	NOR 35	Wil Lutz kicks off 65 yards, touchback.	7	17	0.000	0.610
3	7:55	1	10	PHI 25	Jalen Hurts up the middle for 6 yards (tackle by Sheldon Rankins)	7	17	0.610	0.870
3	7:16	2	4	PHI 31	Miles Sanders right tackle for 2 yards (tackle by Marcus Davenport)	7	17	0.870	0.430
3	6:34	3	2	PHI 33	Jalen Hurts left end for 7 yards (tackle by Sheldon Rankins)	7	17	0.430	1.600
3	5:49	1	10	PHI 40	Jalen Hurts pass complete short right to Greg Ward for 6 yards (tackle by Marshon Lattimore)	7	17	1.600	1.860
3	5:15	2	4	PHI 46	Miles Sanders right tackle for 5 yards (tackle by Shy Tuttle)	7	17	1.860	2.320
3	4:35	1	10	NOR 49	Jalen Hurts pass incomplete short right intended for Dallas Goedert (defended by Marshon Lattimore)	7	17	2.320	1.780
3	4:30	2	10	NOR 49	Jalen Hurts pass complete short right to Miles Sanders for 6 yards (tackle by Marcus Williams)	7	17	1.780	1.880
3	3:51	3	4	NOR 43	Jalen Hurts left end for 3 yards (tackle by Marcus Williams and Demario Davis)	7	17	1.880	0.590
3	3:11	4	1	NOR 40	Jalen Hurts up the middle for no gain (tackle by Kwon Alexander and Marcus Williams)

 

You didn't make this clear but I think you meant that the first two attempts ended up being scrambles by Hurts.  

Avonte Maddox is the best backup for McLeod at deep safety, but they can't turn to him for several obvious reasons (the most obvious being he's also hurt right now).

Really hope they turn to anyone other than Marcus Epps. That guy is the Nate Gerry of the secondary.

I don’t know if it’s this off-season but at some point Jeffrey lurie decided to fire Joe banner who was his childhood friend. At some point in time there’s a breaking point where lurie is going to make that move. Whether it’s this off-season or at some point in time it’s going to happen. So banner could think it’s 10% right now but I’m guessing when Joe Banner got fired he probably didn’t think lurie was ever going to do that to his childhood friend

The whole Banner comment is getting a little blown out of proportion. In that interview he said he hasn't talked to anyone inside or outside of the organization about it and it was just his gut feeling and that he could be wrong.

Not a great fit at deep safety. Then again, compared to Marcus Epps...

We do such a poor job of developing guys compared to other Organizations.

 

Even if he plays Veterans (which he does) the young guys are never ready to help when the Vet gets injured. It’s brutal to be honest, I mean what goes on at practice?

Yup.

Hollins is no world beater but he's a serviceable NFL WR, with eagles he looked promising as a rookie then fell off a cliff. 

JJAW as a rookie got the run around, they had no idea what they were doing with him and as bad as his rookie year was he looks even worse this year. He was actually active Sunday while Hightower was inactive. Why?

Agholor in Las Vegas actually looks like a competent WR here he was an inconsistent head case minus one year.

Took 13 weeks for the coaches to give Reagor an end around 

Took 13 weeks for watkins to get any snaps.

Fulgham after leading the league in yards for 4 weeks fell off a cliff.

Hightower after showing he could at least stretch the field at Z was inactive, I stead of continuing to build on what hightower was doing well which wasn't a ton they just give up because he isn't Randy moss?.

Rookies are going to have lulls and be inconsistent and make mistakes especially when their qb is inconsistent and if one just throws out the bath with the bathwater they don't get better.

Doug and Co need to be thrown out and this team needs an OC that is WR friendly.

Where is this narrative coming from that Lurie "fired" his childhood friend Joe Banner?  They mutually agreed to part ways because Banner wanted to pursue other opportunities, meaning a chance to be part of the ownership group with the Cleveland Browns.  Read about it here:

That was just a "pro day" timing by one of his guys at TCU -- he's about a 4.36 or so ....

Wow - especially if he had an MCL tear which is painful because of it's proximity to nerves on the exterior of the knee.

Yeah I said the same In  Another post. He looks like he’s weighed down or something. Problem is that was supposed to be his best trait. He wasn’t a great route runner to begin with. 

Joe Banner decided to leave.  He was NOT fired by Jeff Lurie.

Nah. I mean he can’t be. He looks slower than the 4.47 he ran at the combine.

Yeah I'm not sure what's up with reagor, even on his long catch and run for 30 yards looked like he just started running half speed like he was tired or just didn't want to run, it was weird.

There are times on tape he looks like a 4.3 guy like on his PR then there are other times when he looks like a 4.5 guy. If he could get to the point where he's a 4.3 guy every time he could be good.

Maybe his head is swimming,maybe he's unmotivated that his qb sucked for 12 games I dobnt know,hopefully he doesn't go the way of every other WR drafted under doug.

The only WR doug and Co have developed is Greg Ward, that's sad as Greg Ward is a 4th We at best

He easily beat Janoris Jenkins across the field on the deep crosser, and the Saints safety fell over like a tumbleweed in the wind trying to get an angle on him -- Hurts missed the throw unfortunately..  He's faster than 4.40 for sure

This season is lost, playing guys like jeffrey and ward to get wins is stupid, 

Let's say eagles make the playoffs, somehow does any one believe they actually do anything other than get bounced round one.

Jeffrey is gone next year, why not give hightower more snaps and game exposure?

I totally agree he's not ready but getting him ready is more important than getting jeffrey snaps for nothing. 

Tossing screens to ward all year doesn't have to do with rookies not being ready. If a rookie can execute a WR bubble screen he doesn't belong in the league.

Doug and co have mis used their personnel all year. There is zero reason jeffrey should be getting any snaps, all it is doing is taking away from the development of the younger guys.

Ward is what he is he's hit his ceiling, he's a 4th at best that the coaches drafted 3 rookie WRs had Fulgham fall Into their laps and they haven't figured out to use any of them after 13 weeks or gotten them ready is a joke and is just another reason to fire them all.

 

 

I blame only one person for everything you just described: Lurie. Doug is coaching for his future, whether that's here or somewhere else. Doug is absolutely in a win now mentality, and his desperation is hindering the future of this team. If I was in Doug's position I would do the same thing. If I was on the chopping block, why would I choose developing players over playing vets that probably give me a better chance of winning a game?

Once it became clear that this was Doug's mentality, Lurie had two options. One, tell Doug that his future with the team is secure and he won't be fired in the off-season. Give Doug the security he needs to play the younger guys, take a long-term approach to roster management, and let these young bucks work through their growing pains. Lurie's second option was to fire Doug immediately and order the interim head coach to embrace the youth movement. Lurie did neither, and as a result we see players on the field that have absolutely no future with this team.

Because there’s been multiple other reports specifically Mosher and Adam caplan ( i also believe wulf who was working with the eagles has indicated it wasn’t mutual like what was reported) have discussed this multiple times that they basically fired him/forced his hand (which ever way you want to call it, it’s basically semantics eagles wanted to move on and he saw the writing on the wall within the organization and lurie).  the assumption was that it was mutual but really behind the scenes they have said he basically pushing him out the door. And he left because they took away his job/power he had  and we’re trying to get him to leave instead of having to fire him. But all technicalities it was basically firing of him from his position and power to force him out.  It’s kind of why they are not best of friends anymore. If it was mutual you would think they would still be close as it was a mutual parting. 

also do you really believe Joe banner when they took away his power and basically forcing him out was just gonna go to the media and say well he’s a crappy person and he basically stripped me of all my power and forced my hand. No because then he would look awful doing so. He took the highroad. 

also there was a power struggle at the end and howie got more and more power. Howie didn’t get it by himself and it came at the expense of banner.

A sprain is just a partial tear, there's different degrees of severity.  My guess that anything less than a complete tear wouldn't take him out for the season.

Season is unofficially 3 weeks long at this point. Seumalo missed 8 weeks with a sprain too, so even if they made it to the SB as scheduled he may not be ready.
