We definitely overmatched the Steelers’ elite defense with *checks notes* Travis Fulgham, Greg Ward and John Hightower. 

"One of these things is not like the others... one of these things is not the same..."  

What a disparity.

Had Wentz played in games 1-3, the way he played in games 4-5, we'd be 3-2 at worst.

He was lucky to survive game 1. Eight sacks! We deserved to lose that game and we did. Wentz was a punching bag for that team.

Thank goodness Travis Fulgham is an overwhelmingly talented freak of nature to overcome Doug’s sheer stupidity and cluelessness.

Eagles were never beating the Rams the way the defense played either; even if the play to JJAW is a TD rather than an INT, the Rams walk right back down the field and score.  2-3 is the high water mark.

So the depth isn't the problem, the OL held up well, the WRs held up OK, Wentz is nearly elite...so are we 1-3-1 because of Nate Gerry?

Nate Gerry taking all the heat😀

Looks like Fulgham active, Hightower inactive by that response.  The real question for me is who would be higher on the depth chart between Hightower and JJAW?

That's some ugly stuff by Ertz and hightower. Especially Ertz.

Both of Sanders non catch targets were off target throws by Wentz, one catchable but low and behind and the other off.

Fulgham did more in 1 game then JJAW has done in his career☹️

lost by 10, couldnt get a first down when the game depended on it and after a fluke run the run offense had 20 yards on 15 rushes. Not to mention, 98% of the completitions the defender was blanketing the WR. 

But sure man, Doug's awesome. Never his fault. 

You see a fluke run and I see a perfectly called and timed draw. 

Fulgham’s TD was schemed wide open. 

Ward’s TD was the perfect route and call vs. that coverage/leverage. 

Just admit you said something really stupid and move on. There isn’t a chance in hell you expected the Eagles offense to score 29 at Pittsburgh. And it didn’t happen because of our overwhelming talent.

If Fulgham keeps playing like he has I would ease Alshon back in with 2 reps a game for the rest of the year.

Seriously.  I am no Nate Gerry fan.  He's bad.  But if we had any depth in the secondary...hell, if we had anything more than Slay and an OK Mcleod, if we had a DC who could recognize a bad matchup and show one ounce of adaptability, if we had an offense that could score points and put pressure on teams....Nate Gerry would be a mere weakness, not a laughingstock who is the recipient of all this blame.  

All teams have weaknesses.  They overcome them with coaching and surrounding talent.  We have neither.

Exactly, if we only had starters backing up our starters................imagine the pressure.

Flukes are used to fit narratives.  If Wentz played in weeks 4-5 the way he played 1-3, if Sanders' 70 yd TD didn't happen, if Fulgham's deep TD didn't happen.  And that's fine...we're all here to argue our own narrative.  What matters is which of them will continue to happen with consistency and which will stop.  That's 99% of what GM's are paid to figure out.

I'd settle for starting quality players in our starting lineup.

And FYI, our injury luck this year has not been nearly as bad as you might want to believe.  Our sole win was ENTIRELY due to injury.  Our sole chance at a playoff berth is ENTIRELY due to injury.

Hightower has been pretty unspectacular but JJAW is doing his best Mack Hollins. I'm not convinced he not actually Mack Hollins with a mustache, which begs the question who is in Miami?🤔

Concerning that doug says,  4 or 5, in what universe is going into a game with only 4 WRs when they always get hurt a good idea.

I'd go fulgham, desean, ward, hightower and watkins and kick JJaw to the curb, he's been useless other than lining up correctly and blocking😒

Once jeffrey comes back watkins or hightower inactive if desean reagor and jeffrey all back then hightower and watkins inactive.

There is absolutely zero reason to keep JJaw other than stubborn pride on hanging onto a 2nd rounder. Trade him cut him but keeping him and exposing hightower or watkins to claims would be a poor choice imho

I need to remember I’m arguing with a Steelers season ticket holder who told me last year Tomlin was a better offensive mind than Doug.

Agree, and to me it's obvious that I'd have Hightower active over JJAW, and Wentz actually throws the ball toward Hightower, so it's obvious who he'd prefer as well ..... I'm just not so sure that Doug sees it that way

Isn't that what I said a few minutes ago? "Back-ups are fine it's the starters that may be the issue."

I don't give 2 craps about Tomlin, but I'm not about to give the offensive mind edge to a guy who is the architect of a congested 12 personnel offense that is presently the lowest rated passing offense in the NFL, which has also failed to integrate a rookie WR in any capacity in 5 years.

1 minute ago, Bacarty2 said:

False, I said I'd take Tomlin as a HC over Doug, and I stand by it. 

I also gave you list of 10-12 OC's i would take over doug right now and wouldnt have to think twice of. 

BS. We were talking offensive minds last year and you named several coaches who weren’t the play caller or didn’t even coach that side of the ball. We all got a laugh out of that.
