So i should put my money on the rams

The pass blocking is terrible, Hurts has no time. When he has a good pocket he stays & makes throws. But he's got to work on footwork to step up or side step and handle the pressure. Even rushing for a few positive yards instead of losing yardage. Mannion has talked about the improvement in his footwork. Needs to be better.

O line getting destroyed

That 2nd clip makes me yearn for the days of Jack Stoll. Oh wait, he's on the 49ers practice squad. Problem solved.

And, oddly enough, Calcaterra would be better than Errz as a pass catcher. There I said it. His blocking is atrocious but he can make plays. Crucify me lol

So the script is in and they finally beat us and win their SB and will be acting like the 49ers 3 years ago. Got it.

The blocking in the run and pass is killing the team along with the defense being useless. Not a good recipe. They’ll still beat the Rams though

I long for the day we no longer have to pretend Sirianni is a good coach because the team happened to have a good record during his tenure. And if/when he eventually gets canned, not a single team will hire him.

You know when Makai hears that play call in the huddle he's like, " Ahhh crap, not again." He might be the only one more tired of that play than us.

Just watched, Go Deep: The DeSean Jackson Story. Great movie, I definitely recommend watching it. I didn't know his dad was in the hospital with pancreatic cancer during the 2008 NFC Championship game. Really puts things into perspective of how we know nothing about what these athletes are dealing with in their personal lives, and they are still able to go out and perform. I love D-Jack, wish he could've spent his whole career here. F you Chip Kelly.

Do you think the players have any feedback into the play calls that just do not work? Surely they should be calling them out at some point ? If i was hurts i'd be 100% changing the play as it has so little success.

@Iggles_Phan had a really good idea of somebody just "going down” to give them more time to check them out so he can make it back on the field. They actually should just call 5$3 play "sniper in the bushes”. they send somebody out there for a play and he just goes down after a play and takes a long time to come off the field lol

I was saying that (or a timeout) as it was happening.

Why not just have a waterboy hang out near by to listen in and report back. Or look for a signal from Hurts?

Eh why go to all the trouble? Just pull a Fred Warner, don’t even make it to the huddle. Just collapse half way there.

The Eagles need to make some tough decisions right now. Jurgens is cooked. Lampkin should be in the starting lineup. It will never happen but it should. Epps and Carter both suck. Mukuba isn't much better. They either need to trade for a safety or move Coop to safety full time and play Kenny Moore at nickel corner. Lastly, the easiest thing to do and one that has the best chance of happening, take Campbell out and put Trot Jr in. Campbell shouldn't be playing over him because of where he was drafted. We desperately need a sure tackling downhill thumper in this defense right now.

Talked all offseason about adding 2 safeties, not just one. It was all there for the taking. EMW to draft and a host of cheaper free agents to choose from. Howie snubbed it. And should have pounced at each opportunity. Costing us games now. 1 bad safety is liveable. But 2 is not. Me and @T-1000 were begging for moves there during free agency and after. Was never penciling in Makuba for nothing. And Epps should be a 4th safety on a squad. Never to sniff a starter's job on a championship contender.

I remember both of us being told to chill because they would be just fine at safety and all I heard was how Michael Carter III played safety in college and he would be fine if Epps wasn't it.

Why did we draft a pass rusher in Campbell only to expose him in coverage? I liked the player, but it seems like the Eagles are completely misusing him.

He was never a pass rusher, that’s pretty evident from how poor he is compared to Nakobe at blitzing… he doesn’t have the thump, and without some threat of power you’ll have a hard time at edge versus NFL tackles. Howie said one thing about Parsons, and a bunch of writers who never watched Campbell play at Bama felt they knew who the player was from that one sentence. He has great range and length, but coming out of college he was inexperienced - but still a much better LB candidate than edge rusher.

One thing that keeps holding him back is offseason injury… the guy needs to get stronger but the labrum and shoulder (?) issues are a huge obstacle.

That dude has to be on the spectrum

I remember 99-2003 and they were putting up points with pinkston and thrash at WR. I’m not saying there wasn’t frustration, I’m just pointing out that this current offense has much more talent and is at least way more inconsistent.

Yeah, but keep in mind this team has had yearly turnover at the OC position, and those Reid teams were fairly consistent until the later years iirc. But we can agree that this offense is frustrating to watch, but I'm taking into account that it's another new system and our OL is not playing consistently well at all. With that in mind, I'm OK with being 2-1 instead of 0-3. Hopefully we can make the super team cry this weekend and move to 3-1 😄

Anybody else watch the Gamepass commercial free stream? They cut it down to about 1:50 which was nice BUT there were some horrible edits. I think there were almost 10 plays where all you saw was like the last second or two of the play. Yes, cut out some dead time but at least start by showing every play before the ball is snapped.

My bank blocked my DAZN payment last season, so I've gone without since - the TV coverage over here (2 channels show 3 different early and late games) has nigh on made DAZN moot if you support one of the larger teams and they are on late night a lot. Last season, there was 1 game that I found an alternative arrangement for and did the same for the Titans game. DAZN must be feeling the pinch as they are now offering deals and the ability to pay monthly.

So can't help on the commercial free stream, but it was decent from preseason

He should just bat it down.
