We were down to four offensive starters for a lot of that game. 

People’s expectations for a coach are really out of whack. 

He did what a lot of folks in here have been clamoring for. He rolled Wentz out. He called enough RPO's to keep the defense guessing. There was a lot of pre-snap motion. He tried a few trick plays that didn't really work out well, but at least he tried them. Wentz was the difference last night, he looked about as good as he has since the first half against Wash.

Miles played like crap last night

Miles played behind an O line with 4 backups playing.

He's not Barry Sanders.

I wonder if the Eagles file a grievance about that game clock not running down past the two minute warning on the last kickoff. They ended up winning which kind of made it a moot point, but still, that was gross. As far as the ref falling over and being "hurt"....I don't know if I've ever seen such a thing, especially in a 2 minute drill. It all seemed very dubious at best, and sinister at worst.

If Mailata was so great in the ground game and they still have expectations for Dillard, it might be time to think of a future for Mailata at RT.  If you want to fly off the rails and say woe is us about injuries every year, then you might want to re-evaluate our future relationship with a certain over 30 RT who hasn't played 16 games since 2015 and is one of the highest paid OL in the NFL.  I'm sure that thought will be well received by you guys 😅

 

My only excitement for the game was Mailata, bro.

I wish our jet motions served more of a purpose. It seemed like we mostly snapped the ball after the receiver cleared the QB, making him one less option as a ball carrier or person to give a play fake.

But....but.....but....Schwartz and sticks defense!  ARGHHH...  

 

 

Look all I know is that when I watch games the defense cannot stop another team from answering a score and they can't stop a team in the red zone.

He has 118 yards in 4 games.  He's not killing it.  Doug didn't do anything to make him drop catchable balls.  I agree he is a better number 3 receiver but  Doug didn't have any choice due about how to use Agholor due to the injuries the team had.  Agholor is a good slot receiver.  He can't play outside.  

Nah, he used a receiver incorrectly. He wanted him to catch balls, clearly his skills lay elsewhere.

I think you're getting all sorts of twisted up in YPC numbers. I understand your overall point, that you want your best guy out there to finish the game. If I had to bet on it, I think Doug/Duce trusted Clement/Scott to hold onto the ball more than they do Sanders. I don't think they'd every publicly admit that, but it seems to be the only thing that makes sense. We can argue if Clement/Scott are more secure handlers, but I think that's why we saw what we saw. 

That’s fine. I get what you are saying. but it’s not like Clement and Scott haven’t fumbled the ball before. To me in that point of the game Sanders has a chance to win that game. I am going for the win and putting confidence in my main back to win this game for us. If he fumbled I’d rather go down swinging with my best player then losing it potentially because I wanted to play it safe and conservative with guys I trust not to fumble and haven’t looked good this year  

Just pointing out heading into this year Corey Clement has fumbled six times over the last two years, Boston Scott fumbled four times last year (0 this year) and miles sanders including this year has fumbled three total times in his career. (Based off pro football reference). So like you said we could have the conversation of if clement and Scott were more secure ball handlers. But i agree they don’t seem to trust sanders as much as clement or Scott.

They brought Killian across multiple times and snapped just before he got to the guard.  I thought for sure he would get the ball once. However, since he was a decoy each time it does set it up down the road for this season to actually hand it off to him.

I’ve watched a lot of pro and college football throughout the years. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen or can recall a team getting a free timeout from a ref taking a dive like that.

I give them credit for implementing it more yesterday. That Duck wentz threw you dick rod was a great play design. That was one of the best designed plays we have called this year. It was unfortunate wentz Seemed to just not have a good groh when he threw it. Cause that was a thing of beauty.

Only real issues I had were the "trick" plays. Oh and so far my impression of Hurts is not favorable

Perhaps so. It just seemed off to me. The timing was clunky or didn’t look believable. SF runs them so perfectly.

Before that,  some ref was out of position and the clock was supposed to be winding but they waited to wind it till all the refs were set.  Have SF time to line up abs snap it quickly before too much time ran off.

The thing that was bizarre about that was Graham made contact with him but it didn’t appear to be full force and he looked to have made contact but not really all that much.  The ref went down like there was a sniper. Ive seen officials take nasty hits and get right back up.

I don't think so.  He finally called some plays that helped them to be successful.  That is what we have been clamoring for.  Call to what you are not what you want it to be.

Oh yes, clunky for sure.  But more practice will help that.  SF has been running the same offense for 4 years.  Better look smooth.

I think he looked good on one reception really. I don’t have a good vibe about Reagor being a number one WR. A gadget slot guy to make a play here and there, yeah. But we need much more than that, especially out of round frikn one. 

Well I have great vibes about it so it's a lock. Reagor is a great pick and will do well for us can you stop complaining about him until he actually gets to play?

This is nonsense. Doug called plenty of plays to help us be successful, but the players (many times the QB) screwed it up. You’re being results oriented vs process oriented.

Teams have scored 11 tds on 16 red zone trips. That’s 69% (nice). Really it should be 11 of 15 trips as Washington gave them a turnover on downs when you 10 with under a minute.  That’s an area they have to get better. Somewhat better yesterday. Had a turnover in the red zone. Held San Fran to 14 of 21 potential points

I’m calling BS. It’s one thing to defend the trade. It’s another to pretend you saw that coming. 

What's irrational about expecting someone who played well for the Browns as a rookie to play well for the Eagles when he gets an opportunity to play? I've always expected Avery to be a somewhat viable pass rusher off the bench.

What makes it worse right now fans are seeing all these first round wide receivers playing really well and our guy is hurt. I have no problem with Reagor. I think he’ll be fine. It just sucks seeing all these guys performing and then our guy somehow gets hurt. It’s just our luck

Irrational would be expecting 5 QB hits on 16 snaps. That’s incredible production, not somewhat viable.  

That was my point.

Eyeballs emoji. 

Even against bums that’s impressive.
