Jags didn't have a timeout. They would have had to complete a 15-20 yard pass and get out of bounds in 8s.

Actually, in 7 seconds. 8 seconds is game over.

Just now, Sack that QB said:

He doesn't believe what he's saying he's trying to avoid making his players the fall guys for that drive.

The clock management is on him though. Don’t throw the ball when you are in FG range. It’s just idiotic.

Players not being ready or not understanding what to do is on him

No. You kick that ball into the stands. You let Carter eat and you trust the rest of the defense.

ESPECIALLY after watching the ST blow it on the opening kickoff. Trust in them is gone in that moment.

Just now, Diehardfan said:

Like I said you have become anti Hurts huh?

So you did forget about it huh. He also used to go off script and just run it. I'm amazed you somehow removed those out of your memory

It's not about being pro or anti Hurts

Yes, it’s not impossible for something like that to happen, but guess what already happened in the game earlier, a run back so you kick the ball out of bounds. It’s not even a question. what is actual insanity? Is people comparing it to the ravens Cowboys game

Again, I don't disagree with you or anyone else on this. It should have gone through the endzone. It was a stupid decision.

My only take was what he might have been thinking at that point.

And either Hurts is lying or grown since then. I choose to believe the guy.

I don’t know if it’s funny or sad that people actually can defend kicking the ball off there inbounds

95%+ of the time the decision made either way would turn out to be irrelevant and the Eagles win, and in a lot of relatively similar situations you could justify the decision to kick it.

But it was 100% absolutely the wrong decision for this game and the exact situation:

1) Called back KR TD
2) No TO from the Jags

3) The way D had played all game

4) Trott Jnr, a core ST not being on field

5) Jake F'n Majors - an OL being on the KR unit out of necessity

The fact that we even left 8 secs on the clock is a clock management travesty in itself when we had 1st and 10 with 25 secs left and Jags only having 1 TO. The Elliot kick should have been the last play of the game.

Very late to vent my frustration.

Hurts can't miss that easy TD throw. He just can't.
Sirianni can't allow the kick to land short of the goal line. And all those reports about how the Eagles found something with the kickoff and the holder on the kickoff... I think we can put that to rest now. They found NOTHING. Gave up a TD on the opening kickoff, fortunately, the TD was called back because of the penalties... and then the final kickoff ends up being the deciding play, after bonehead move and bonehead move by Coen. He wanted to give the game away, and the Eagles just wouldn't take it. Sirianni needed to order the ball go into the end zone... through the uprights even better. And trust that the defense can put a shell around the sidelines and over the top and not allow a player to catch the ball along the side lines and get out of bounds in under 8 seconds. Just horrific decision making by Sirianni... but there's not much new there.

Yeah, the fact that they even had to kick it off is worse, and he still defends it

They have knives though, right?

Then say "I need to communicate better to put them in a position to succeed.”

That’s all that has to be done.

ST unit did their job. You are relying on something that did not happen. The actual plays that counted towards the outcome of the game, the ST did what they are supposed to do. If Hurts hadn't gone into panic mode and threw it away on second down, and found a way to keep the clock running, we would not be talking about this. If Lemon had situational awareness and stayed inbounds, we would not be talking about this. If the Eagles offense was not averaging 1 point per second half the last 3 weeks, we are not talking about his.

So you wanted Hurts to take a sack on 1st down to get knocked out of field goal range??? There was no hot read on a zero blitz. So he should have been sacked and cost them the FG?

Be serious please.

Right, with Hurts at QB there's no way to catch a ball in stride.

Where thr heck is Stowers. He really hurt or not ready. If he's indeed not ready then such a fricking waste of a premium pick.

Lol I sent this to the radio station down here and they read it on the air

He doesn't go into press conferences thinking about what will piss fans off. He goes into press conferences thinking what do I have to say to get my players to respond to me. He did the same thing last year taking the fall for the stuff in the Packers game.

What he says in a press conference doesn't matter. I promise he knows they screwed it up. Now whether he can coach the players well enough so they don't do it again is another story, but I can promise that he doesn't think they ran the end of the game well. He's not that much of a moron.

The "newcomers" sure do.

What's going on with the roster management this year? Why were Elijah Moore and EJ Jenkins getting the start?

I know I'm going to pay for this but whatever. Serious question, is there anyone left who actually thinks that Nick Sirianni is a good NFL head coach and please explain to me what it is that he does well and don't bring up "culture" because this isn't a HS or college team and everything that happened with AJ Brown the last two years disproves that he built some magical culture for the team.

There are just SOOOO many questions about this team right now. There isn't time to get into all of them.
