    I turned 38 today and have lost 52lbs since February. I’m very rarely ever proud of myself, but I’m feeling pretty proud today and thought I’d share. Carry on.

  • At this point, I’d like to see a former HC on the staff, but the biggest coaching news left is whether Stout stays.  BOOOOOOOOM

All year long we’ve seen situations were guys are having success and then pulled or benched or older guys that aren’t very good getting playing time over young guys who have shown to be better. Mix that in with Doug’s terrible head scratching play calling and "evaluating” sudfeld on Sunday night and I’m starting to think the Eagles were actively tanking all year. Lurie had to be in on it too. If he wasn’t then Doug would be working at Sears by now

3 defensive players in a row. That tells me we hire a defensive minded HC and Doug is gone, lol.

So is Wentz and Ertz in on it too?

LOL — Fanspeak On The Clock draft simulator.  Not sure why it gives the Eagles the late 6th round picks.

Sounds crazy but not impossible.

Feels like they were limiting miles sanders carries so they could keep him at s manageable number for when they extend.

Why else would one give ones best offensive player only 12 touches a game?

Just a lot of curiously poor decisions this year.

Overall I agree with this assessment.  I think "doesn’t process well” is a bit unkind — almost all rookie QBs are going to start out that way.

Based on the 4-game sample, though — I would place a substantial wager Hurts isn’t a long term answer and won’t be an Eagles QB on a second contract.

In fairness to Hurts, Donovan McNabb  (arguably the best QB in franchise history) wasn't a very good passer, for (at least) his first 6 starts....

McNabb's first year:

12 Games, 6 starts: 948 Yards passing, 49.1% completion %, 8 TD's, 7 INT's, 60.1 Qb Rating

you're giving Doug too much credit.

I'm about 90% sure Sanders has been dealing with some sort of nagging injury (or injuries) for most of the season.

What other reason is there for you to continuously bench players that are making plays? Why are we going for it so many times on 4th down at the 50? Why did Doug play for a tie? Why is Doug calling qb draw so many times for a qb with an injury history? Why is miles top 3 in ypc and only getting 12 carries a game? Why wait 12 weeks to bench Gerry? Why wait 12 weeks to bench Carson? Why call so many slow developing plays with a patch work o line? Why doesn’t Doug play to his players strengths? Why doesn’t Doug ever adjust in the 2nd half? 
 

I just don’t see how a coach is allowed to make this many poor decisions(plus many others I haven’t even mentioned) and keep his job unless there is something going on behind the scenes. If you don’t believe anything is happening behind the scenes and "Doug is just an idiot” then Lurie would have fired him because this season was a complete disaster & Chip was fired for a lot less. This year was so bad it makes chips last season look like the SB season

That’s bull, Joe.  Banner was a king at alienating players, agents and future employees.  The Eagles sat Wentz and Jeffery. Everyone else was hurt that was inactive.  They went for it on fourth down that would have put them up by a four.  With nothing to lose, they took a chance.  How does that alienate players, Joe.  Finally, the offered some loyal players that won’t be back, including Sudfeld, Clement, Curry some playing time.  They also let some players get into the game, like Juriga at sixth OL, Smith at LB that they wanted to evaluate.  The few healthy starters they had played most all of the game; Ward, Kelce, Seumalo, Ertz on offense and Hargrave, Graham, Slay and maybe Edwards and Singleton (never was sure if Riley and Gerry were still starters) on defense.  (Yes, that is how bad the injuries have been this year, Joe.) No, they didn’t risk a Deshean Hall level injury on players that were banged up.  Why should they?  I am sure that alienated players, agents and future employees.  Not like insulting players at the negotiation table, like you were famed for.  

I'm actually shocked Joe Banner tweeted that, tbh.  Anyway, everyone's entitled to their own opinion when it comes to sports.

Agree. Doug should be gone. But, I think most of us know that they are still basking in 2017.  They still view themselves as a SB winner and until they realize that chapter is over, then there won't be much change.

It was a different era but McNabb also had a cannon for an arm.  

I think the WR we want in this draft depends on the QB. I don’t care about Devonta Smith’s size.. he’s a natural WR. He runs good routes and gets open. He catches everything, even contested balls. Chase has the size. 
 

IMO, if Hurts is the QB, Smith isn’t your guy. Hurts isn’t gonna be a quick strike passer and Smith’s quickness in his routes won’t be as effective. If we go with Hurts, I’d rather have Chase. But If we go with a QB that can get the ball out quickly, Smith would be great here. But I’m not sure Wentz is that guy at this point. And I don’t trust Doug to call plays that make sense. So I may as well shut up

He sure did. 

I think the jury is still out on Hurts' arm.  He's made some very nice throws, both in college and here.  I think people see issues with his arm mostly when he's running and makes off balanced throws...those seem to be more of an issue than his arm strength, imo.

Doesn't Lurie usually do a year-end press conference?  I haven't heard of anything scheduled, but he has a meeting with Doug today.

I thought we were going to get one at 11:30am but that didn't happen. Then thought it would be 12pm and then 12:30pm. Don't remember when it was last time to tell if this was is late

I think Ravens are the only team doing it. Lamar hasn't won a SB yet so I wouldn't call it successful. He's played great in the regular season but I wouldn't call it success until he get the Lombardi
