Falcons were in the NFC West? I do not remember that at all.

NFC west used to be niners, rams, falcons, saints. Believe Carolina was also nfc west until they went to the 4 divisions in each conference. At the time i believe 1999 the nfc was was those 5 teams. with cardinals in nfc east and seattle was still afc.

I would say, lose the next two, then it would be a good time to let Joe Milton get something on film for us, or other teams. That would be Dallas week. Would be a nice time to begin showcasing him.

If you are going to go with Milton as the starter it’s likely after the bye. Gives him a month here and 2 weeks to prepare him for his first start. I highly doubt they'd give him his first start him on a short week even if it is Dallas.

Hmmm… with Mestemaker, Smith and the two DEs off the board I’m really hoping some team loves Mensah. He’s the best QB/processor in this class but not quite the full package, at least not to the degree that some of the Day 2 prospects can’t get to the same place with the right coaching/seasoning/situation.

McKee is a backup who can catch lightning in a bottle here and there. He’s fine for a backup. And has the offense really looked that much worse with McKee in there compared to Hurts? I don’t think so. That game’s different last night with a healthy Saquan and Devonta on the field.

I think the issue is Mannion. He just needs to go. Howie made a mistake giving him complete control of the offense. Siri isn’t a CEO head coach, he’s an administrative assistant head coach.

Fire Mannion and just let Siri be in charge of the offense for the rest of the season. He’s earned that.

Howie is probably too arrogant to admit he goofed.

Glad I went to bed at 10-10. I'm looking forward to the draft. Don't know how much football I'll be watching before that. 🤷

It sounds like that, but im guessing Lurie isn’t firing for just this year. Everything went to crap in 2026. However, I think he’d be firing him because the passing game has needed to be fixed from the end of 2023 until everything went to crap this year, and he hasn’t been able to do it. You can’t just keep hiring OCs and hoping they can fix the problem and doing so until one does. Even if #1 does, they are likely being hired to be a head coach somewhere else then. He is a head coach and an offensive minded head coach. He should be able to figure out these passing game problems, especially when Howie gave him a top 10 wide receiver in AJ Brown, another top 10 wide receiver in devonta Smith, a very good tight end any historic running game, which should’ve made the passing the ball easier. Except it was always like we were pulling teeth to get the passing game to be functional

Well, when the only thing your QB does on time is quotable one liners...

When your head coach can’t get players to play hard (multiple guys on defense) and be detailed (penalty on mailata lining up improperly on an FG after a false start penalty on 4th down to begin with amongst many others)and uses tagline "tough. Detailed. Together”… yet his team is none of those things….

I actually think that’s the right thing to do.

Siri is getting fired in the offseason. At least give him the rope to hang himself. Fire Manion, put Siri in charge of the offense and play calling. Let him have control before you fire him. A soldiers death.

No sense letting him bumble around press conferences defending an offense and defense that he has no control over.

They need to call Lane Johnson, Jeff Stoutland and probably the ghostbusters.

Pre-realignment. Three divisions with 5 teams each, until the Browns (and Texans?) came along and then allowed for an 8x4 format. Before the Jags and Panthers, 2 divisions only had 4 teams I think.

If you need help finding ghosts then better ask Sam Darnold for help. He’s good at finding them.

Was pre jags and panthers. NFC west was Atlanta, nineres, rams and saints. Crazy it’s been that long since then.

It all starts with the OC, we had Stout and Lane in both 2023 and 2024. Only one other variable changed between those two years.

Not relevant, the topic was about getting the passing game to be working in a functional way, and my comment was on the fact that it is VERY hard to have a multi-year functional passing game when the idea every down is to hold onto the ball for god knows how long. How the hell do you create a functional passing game around your QB always throwing late? It's basically saying 'just ignore the plays and go play' when you do that.

It could be both sirianni and hurts. I know tough concept for you to admit. It could be both for them who aren’t fit to fix the problem.

Furthermore, his job is to be a CEO head coach and he’s not doing it well. Heck great job with a banged up Barkley on a snap count running in with 12 seconds left in the half thinking he could bust one at his current state

List of eagles playing to the level of their contract:

Braden Mann. The punter......

Pretty sure no teams moved until they expanded to 32 teams. Jags and Panthers took them from 28 to 30. Falcons should've still been in the West when the Panthers joined the West.

They were. NFC west became 5 teams. It was Atlanta, panthers, saints, niners and rams until they moved the Seahawks from afc to nfc and browns and Texans came along.

Q has been really good this year. Gave up a long play to Burks but really he’s earned his first round rookie paycheck.

Not really difficult to admit because it's true, but still pretty weird that the one thing Tanner has done right in either offense is throw on time.

I don't really have any comment on the rest. I don't even really disagree? All I have to say is, I wish we could look at the work of past Eagles coaches with the same microscope.

I would add Q, it's not all pro level but he hasn't been a problem at all.

I don't really have any comment on the rest. All I have to say is, I wish we could look at the work of past Eagles coaches with the same microscope.

And yet the offense still has issues. So what does that tell me? That Tanner is not good enough and the offense schematically and the system has issues. And that’s been part of the problem along with Jalen hurts’ flaws in the past.

It’s hard to look past the coaching when guys aren’t playing hard. the defense quit the previous two weeks. special team has been a disaster on returns and largely besides Mann. we have questionable decisions by the head coach in using his personnel and game management. the Eagles routinely penalized as they have the 10th most penalties against them in the league. It’s hard for anyone to overlook the coaching when my head coach says we’re "tough. Detailed. Together.” They look anything but those three things. That’s why coaching gets talked about as we have those issues along with a passing offense that he and his coaching staffs haven’t been able to fix even prior to the injuries this year and had 2 pro bowl WRs and a good tight end.

Again, this doesn’t absolve the quarterback from his issues and blame. But if we’re gonna just pretend the head coach has no part in this disaster and hasn’t been an issue in the past, that’s BS.

If most of the board feels that way, you cant tell from reading the troll posts in here. All of these Hurts trolls here have been rooting for the team and McKee to fail as soon as the blood clot news broke.

They post about how bad McKee is looking even while he plays pretty well.

Today wasnt so good, and they are thrilled. Although the OL ended more drives than bad throws by McKee did today.

They want him pulled before starters come back so he really cant show up Hurts even worse than he already has.

I want the Eagles to win more than anything, regardless of who is playing QB. Watching you repeatedly make a fool of yourself is a fun consolation prize, though!
