People around here have like 50 first dates kind of memory. OC doesn't matter? Tell that to 2023 and 2025. OC is everything. A good OC can cover up so much of the bad and a bad OC can make the best players look like garbage. If the scheme is garbage, there isn't much the players can do to succeed. You have an install, if the install is garbage and the game plan is complete trash, there isn't much anybody can do about it. Don't act like the players are responsible for the playbook or the play call. The execution is the only reason they won so many games. Any competent OC would have done so much more with the talent on this team. The players didn't go from winning the Super Bowl to bumbling idiots over night. They inherited an idiot who managed to turn an all-star cast into a high school offense.

Woolen looks so stiff in most of the clips I’ve seen of him. I get he’s a bigger corner, but there is a natural clunkiness to his movements.

I think a lot of issues with the passing game were still there in 2024 it’s just that Saquon and the offensive line masked it up by rushing for 2,000+ yards. And Hurts playing perfect games against Washington and KC left a good final imprint on that season for us. But overall, they had a mediocre passing offense that season.

He was an a-hole and extraordinarily dramatic.for sure. But if you recall he came back from a terrible broken ankle to not only play but was the best Eagle on the field by far in the SB.

Yeah, and I thought he was deserving of restructuring his deal, but when they didn't do it, he immediately acted out. I think had he stayed professional; they would've done something during the following season. But TO already had a rep for being a problem, and when he started showing his true colors, the Eagles wasted no time in getting him out of Philly.

It was a "high school offense" in 2024 too ... and before that. IMO, people want very badly for KP to have been the boogie man. But I saw breakdowns on the field in execution by everybody on offense. It wasn't always the game plan or the play call. Sure, KP didn't bring any sophistication to the offense, but the players couldn't consistently execute a simple one. None of the leaders on offense stepped up.

I didn't have as much of a problem with AJ's comments after the Super Bowl (about not personally being satisfied) as much as other fans did. It was framed as he's just a competitor. But this recent interview he's now saying the pressure for the team to win was too much, and when things were going bad people expected them to fix it. No kidding. You are defending champions, yes of course there's going to be a standard. So winning the SB wasn't satisfying, and the pressure to win was too much?

I don't know if any off the field gossip Is remotely true, but what I do find believable is that Hurts did not like his attitude because Hurts always cares about team wins over individual stats. I could see if AJ thought that his friend would support him and want to force the ball to him or at least defend his comments, but if Hurts was holding him accountable to put the team first and not care about individual stats, I could see that being a factor.

The game that AJ had his best stat sheet this year he posted "using me but not using me" afterward. I'd be curious if Hurts talked to him about that kind of thing and AJ just didn't like it.

It also could make sense in that context if AJ were one of the sources that has been criticizing Hurts to reporters.

He's also an idiot because the patriots just played in the super bowl and expectations are sky high to go back lmao. What a Fing tool, I don't believe any of the Reddick nonsense but for him to actually come out and say that is wild.

Still not as bad as TO, but he made a valiant effort

We now have our second player essentially confirming things. 3rd if you count DeSean.

Or you are old, as I used (and still do occasionally) dashes in place of commas or parenthesis, which was more common in the early days of email as we started to learn how to write in something other than the posted mail letter formats we learned early on in school. I still use punctuation in direct messaging, despite being told that some younger people apparently find that offensive.

(Of course, I am of the generation that read Clarke, Asminov etc. and then were entertained by Battlestar Galacticca, The Terminator and even the Borg on Star Trek, the Next Generation. They warned us about creating sentient computers and robots).

I couldn’t care less about a player’s "morals”. Most of them are probably not great people worth associating with.

Hell, we all cheered on Vick when he put the Eagles jersey on.

Yeah I don't care that AJ was cheating on his future wife with a massage therapist. It is dumb on his part for getting mad at Hurts and basically ending a close friendship over Hurts choosing to not get involved in the internal drama surrounding that situation though.

Always bewildering how there are people here who will argue straight faced that the crap AJ Brown was pulling was not at all a distraction.

Aj Brown is the girlfriend that says she "isn’t mad but she just thinks it’s funny how..” in a nutshell lol

Patullo was a big part of the problem but not all of it. The Eagles did not execute well last year. Hurts has preferences as a QB that became more ingrained as limitations last season. He also stopped running the ball and there were very few QB designed runs. I think the injuries to the O-line played a big part of the problem. I also think Sirianni's risk averse approach to turnovers made them to conservative. It's also not like they won the Super Bowl with a super efficient and effective passing offense in 2024. The Eagles were 2-2 heading into the bye week. They only just eked out a win in NO. They could have easily been 1-3. After the bye, the shift was to being a running team. They had 6 games of more than 200 yards rushing and 6 of more than 200 yards passing after the bye in 2024. They had one game of over 300 yards passing and one game of over 300 yards rushing. They had 2 games of less than 100 yards passing and the only one where they had less than a 100 yards rushing was the last game of the regular season where the starters did not play. The team was not an offensive juggernaut in 2024 in the passing game that became suddenly worse. They were unstoppable in the run game in 2024. When the offense could not run the ball effectively in 2025, the passing attack was not enough to make the offense successful. I agree that Patullo and Sirianni could not fix the offense from a scheme perspective. I disagree that it was entirely on them. Hurts did not have a good season.

The Eagles used motion in the offense more in 2024:

They used motion less in 2025:

I also think they did not really use motion as a way to create leverage for receiver or to force defenses to reveal coverages. I think 90% of the motion was performative and pointless.

That's revisionist history. Most Eagles fans were pissed at management for signing Vick. Most agreed he should get a second chance ...but wanted it to be with some other team. Vick won fans over with honest contrition first ... and his play on the field after.

Oh please… fans liked him because he mostly played well… what world do you live in? "Honest contrition”… gtfo

Once Greenard deal was done, this was a pipe dream and probably always was given the picks and money required

Oh I'm sorry. I should be talking about all the other Eagles news going on in early June other than the trade of AJ Brown that occurred 2 days ago and now the stories that are now coming out about what happened behind scenes.
