time2rock Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Pass:run ratio for last night ... with a makeshift OL and a QB that has been struggling mightily (not to mention high winds). I seriously don't know how Doug doesn't realize more balance is needed (84% passes to 16% runs is not going to win you many games). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philafan4o8 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Doug at press conference: they did well shutting down the run... Lol the running game that he did not even try. After the 3 and out on three straight passing plays, I knew Doug had no intention of running the ball. Yet they run more play-action passes like the defense are going to bite on the run LOL 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathByEagle Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Technically it was 56 passing plays. You have to take away the runs Carson ran because they were pass plays. And he was sacked 6 times. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you say they shut down the run when your top RB, who happens to be your best offensive player, only got 6 carries the entire game? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 What happened to Howard? He didn’t even get a sniff of the field. Just kind of a mess here. These guys are a joke right now. 1 minute ago, nipples said: That’s a pretty stupid statement on Doug’s part.

These guys are a joke right now. Well when Sanders only even gets 6 attempts, I’m not surprised Howard didn’t see the field. It’s sad how they’re wasting Sanders talent. In an offense that actually runs the ball consistently, I think Sanders has the talent to be a top 5-10 RB in the league. He’s just given no chance at getting anywhere near that level.

Dweedlebug Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 This crap makes me so angry. Doug really needs to be stripped of playcalling duties. I mean sure, the Seahawks have the worst pass defense in the league, but if you don't have time to throw, it really doesn't matter. Carson isn't playing well, but the o-line and the play calling are not helping him out one bit. We have an excellent running back who just may as well stand around with his thumb in his ass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Doug committing to the run... I like it. My god! You're QB is a mess, he's broken and you run the ball 9 freaking times? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's time to go to the table, his stats won't be anywhere near not RBs so he can't ask for that. Sanders is starting to get visually frustrated with Wentz always throwing it low to him. I don't blame him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles don’t need to make him a bell cow, but their lack of commitment to run it at all is just terrible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoconoDon Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I understand that when facing the 32nd pass defense in the league AND one on pace for being the worst ever in NFL history, that you might want to throw it a little more, but what Doug did to that run/pass ratio looked like a sex crime. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkmsn Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 When the game is just beginning and it is 1st and 5, that is the time to call a run, try to get that first 1st down out of the way. Opening with 3 passes after that and chalking up a 3 and out, is inexcusable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also did a good job of shutting down the run, the difference Eagles - 14 carries for 70 yards, 9 for 28 without Wentz carries Seattle - 30 carries for 76 yards, 24 for 64 without Wilson carries. One team was committed to it, the Eagles did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoconoDon Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I wonder if Doug wants out of town? He's sure coaching like it lately. I wonder if the Howie effect is happening again. He keeps picking scrubs for the coaches to work with and then makes a trade to try to ease the pain. It's like putting Neosporin on a freaking tumor. Howie Hubris must go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie Hubris must go. I’ve almost been thinking that... maybe he doesn’t want to flat out quit but he’s sure coaching like he’s trying to get let go. Here’s a conspiracy theory: Doug refuses to play Hurts because he’s afraid he’ll look good and save his job. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kz! Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Doug really doesn't seem to care at this point. Yeah, let's just take Carson out for a play in the middle of a drive and put Hurts in. Oh he completed it? Time to take Hurts out and toss a struggling Wentz back in now that the play is over. 4th and 2 from the 50 when your offense has struggled to execute easy, routine plays all game and your defense has been playing great? Should we try to play a field position game or risk giving the Seahawks' high powered offense the ball at midfield and a ton of momentum? Eff it, dude, let's go for it. 4th and 4 late in the game and down 11. Should we kick the easy FG and make it a one possession game or, again, leave a struggling offense on the field? We used to have success on 4th and short because we had a great line and could execute short yardage plays at a very good ratio. We aren't that team anymore. We're an awful offense. There are no plays that we can run that give us a better than average chance of picking up these 4th and shorts. It's been that way all season. Why don't we recognize our weaknesses and get back to some basic football and stop giving the other team loads of momentum and great field position? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyPhreak24 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 If Lurie intends to keep Pederson, he needs to demand that he bring in a legitimate OC and relinquish the play calling duties to the new OC. Doug's play calling has been absolute trash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie Hubris must go. I'm not there yet, but who would you bring in to Replace Howie and Doug? I believe blowing it up is very risky. Look at Pittsburgh. They won a SB, then lost year after year, unitl they won a SB again with the same head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pick him first and he picks the HC that fits his vision. Interview candidates would be college scouting directors from top drafting teams as well as veteran GM's with a good track record, like Dorsey for example. The draft is the most important part of team building. The GM must be really good in that area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
