Right...same crap as last year when you complained when we didn't put up 30 ...yet we were limiting the opponent's opportunity to score and won easily. 

Kc ..play calling was an issue....when you go 3 weeks... light up the scoreboard....and have more turnovers than punts... it's not the play calling. 

I'm fine,as long as we aren't regressing. I mean it's the OC's first year and he has to learn. I just saw him not being creative when he needed to be. maybe he learned even more in the KC game we'll see soon enough

Fins game was better that Dallas and Dallas was better than KC. Just as a fan I find this very weird

KC has a top defense... Arrowhead is a tough place to play.   Your stud blocking and receiving TE was missing.   It's not that easy.   

I really think last year being such a cake walk has really messed with our fanbase.

2 years ago...if we said 9-1... a top scoring team... we would have loved it.  Now after last year....we expect to beat the stud teams....at their place....without a key weapon ..and light up the scoreboard?

It's just not realistic.  It's not college football where I think a lot of you guys watch too much of a game where it's ridiculously lopsided most of the time.

Do you think not having Goedert limits the offense a little. 

Do you think KC was the best D we faced so far?

Do you think playing at KC was the toughest venue so far?

With these 3 factors.... do you see where results shouldn't be as good?

Very possible,yet we lost to the Jets LOL. OK bad game,every team has them. Right we have pass catching RB's,they should see more passes with Goedert out,those sideline flares don't work,get rid of them and the called QB runs

We got lucky they were dropping balls all night

I have to be honest.   I'm not looking for creativity.... my thing the other night was not running the ball in certain situations. 

That's not creative...it's game management.

I thought Swift had a couple big plays catching the ball??

Even you admit the KC play calls were bad,yet they kept running the same plays. makes no sense

OK time for sleep happy Thanksgiving on to Buffalo

The one screen that got batted down...would have been a nice gain.   I don't know the whole game plan.  Were they using the screen to set up something longer?  Idk?

Like I said....for me... my change would be to run the ball in certain spots.  11 yard gain... the next play should be a run.  If the idea is to save Swift...then get the 3rd RB in there.

Creativity is not my issue.  It's not rocket science.

Right... KC. Let's not invent problems from the other games though.  Execution and turnovers were issues when you have more turnovers than punts.

Right...the bubble screens to me is trying to be too creative.  Give your RB the ball and go smash the other team a little.   Basic stuff not E=mc2 stuff.

How is it good football when you can only scheme your star WR for 1 catch at 8 yards a game? And while I have nothing against Smith(in fact he was my draft pick that year) It's a pathetic display of "Inept" IDC if he is triple teamed,you can't run a few crossing routes to produce more than 8 yards? That's shameful to me,but keep throwing those 1 yard sideliners that don't work 

It's kinda like Yogi Berra said about Baseball

"Hit it where they ain't"

Really happy with the DCs ability to make adjustments unlike Gannon last year.

The OC, not so much.

But i guess that's what happens when you hire coordinators  with no real experience

 I thought the Eagles have scored more in the 2nd halves of games?   Isn't that adjustment at half?   

If I see another bad bubble screen I'm gonna scream! First off we're too slow at them, Hurts has to read the D and get the ball out a lot faster and hit the guy in stride, not have him waiting. They also need to be thrown a few yds down field - NOT behind the LOS! Those take the air right out of that possession. Do it 2-3 times in a row like Johnson did, it narrows what plays we can call so we may as well just kick it away.

Agree except for the fact that every team throws the bubble screen behind the line.   The block needs to be within the yard from the line. If you throw it downfield..it's an illegal pick/ block 

Which to me it should be illegal anyway,  i don't like the play in general... ( for the league,  nothing to do with the results for the Eagles,  just don't think it should be legal) We finally actually make it work a decent amount though... under Siri the WRs seem to block it better. 

Let's not act like 7 years olds because of 2 calls we didn't like.  Really it was the 2nd one where most people have an issue after it didn't work the first time.  

Run the ball.

"Hit it where they ain't"

Our star TE is out,wouldn't you think they would "hit it" where the remaining guys ARE?. If you can't scheme AJ open for more than 8 yards in 60 minutes, you're doing it wrong. AJ and Smith should both be over/near 100 yards nearly every game. Smith got there,AJ not so much.if AJ was blanketed Smith should have close to 200 yards. Stoll can also catch,he's not  great at it but he only got 3 yards. So whatever,just feel an OC should find ways to get his play makers the ball. Hurts is not playing lights out like he did last year,very tentative. Is this by order of the OC? Called QB runs are college RPO crap. We got lucky on that 1 TD,but basically those fail also. RPO-NO!!! Play action-YES and this OC doesn't understand the difference,or at least I'm not seeing it. We DID establish the run,so once you do that you go to PLAY ACTION,not RPO. It's PRO vs COLLEGE. Hurts is best when he runs on broken plays,not planned ones and "calling" a broken play(called run) can be seen a mile away by defenses. Ok so I guess we all see things different,but after watching Hurts last year and how explosive he could be, he seems like he is on sleeping pills.Just not the same fire that I saw last year. And he's taking too many sacks,if you throw the ball away and least you get 0 yards which is better than -8 and digging yourself into a hole. I would like to see the sacks he took last year vs this year. We had an easy schedule last year,this year we are facing good fronts and Hurts seems like he's never seen a pass rush or what to do about it. IDK he's playing differently this year than he has in the past. Ok done with this.Happy Thanksgiving all

9ers in Seattle should be a great game

Or is it that the D made adjustments which gave more opportunities to the offense? I guess you'd have to look at the number of second half possessions to figure that out.

KC wasn't able to scheme open Kelce.  Again...last year ...and people watching too much amateur football is making our fans a little coo coo this year. 

I agree with NC that the O line didn't play well. It seems like they weren't prepared for the blitz packages that KC threw at them.

But seeing how Spagnolo is the KC DC i don't see how they wouldn't have anticipated that.

OL played much better 2nd half....after the adjustments
