He got taken for 250 million because of it

Hurts will get released after 2026 or 2027... probably get $160 mil or so.

Let's look at those 3 years. First 2 easy schedules. This year we had an easy schedule the first 9-10 games. When crunch time hit,this team was not prepared at all

Schedule was tougher early. The fact that hey got their butts kicked during the easy part of the schedule is the killer there. Seahawks, Giants, Cardinals, Giants. Ouch…worse, all backup QBs except one.

I feel bad for the old timers,this was supposed to be their swansong ending. Instead they will leave in embarssment

I agree....my point,  who would want the job?   Dude got fired after winning 3 seasons...3 playoff seasons...after the 2020 season.  2 new coordinators.

Why would anyone good want the job is my point?

Because the team has a quality owner and setup. Not devoid of talent either.

The schedule was not tougher early. We had the tough stretch after the bye. 6 games. We lost 5. Played well vs  Dullaz the first time,but won by 2 inches. Played well vs KC. That was it. Then we lost to the lowly Cards. Conner ran amok all over us. Our vaunted run D was a joke. The 12 yard cushions any HS QB would take advantage of

After 2020 this was a bad job. It’s a good looking job right now. Got picks and talent. Two steps away from being a contender from a quality coach pint of view coming in. Anybody took this job isn’t rebuilding. They can win quickly.

Book was out on how predictable we were. Everybody knew

Those guys actually experienced our best franchise days.

But even our top quality vet leadership couldn’t hold this ship together. It was that bad.

Such a strong character locker room…that was unhappy and complaining. Leaking out from there it must have been severely disfunctional.

We’ll never get a chance laid out on a platter like last season. Really was hard to screw that up.

Was it Hurts fault we suffered so many injuries for no reason week 18?

Yeah, this era should see some eventual hall of famers.   Definitely guys in the Eagles hall of fame.  2 Superbowls for those guys....Foles will go down in Eagles folklore too. 

Easy group to root for.

Probably lose anyway. But having no S and losing AJ like that was pointless and stupid. That’s not even getting into how the team didn’t come to play week 18 to begin with. What were they thinking?

Oh sure,I agree and they deserve it. But you always want to go out on a high note and this game was just AWFUL. They showed a stoic Kelce on the bench. He looked defeated. Should have gone out with a parade

I think Smith will be considered the best of this young group when it's all said and done too.  Career Eagle for sure.  Easy guy to root for.   Carter has the potential as well.

He can only do so much as a center . The guy you snap the ball to is supposed to raise the bar.    Ironic all the other guys all pro but not him. 

Mahomes,Purdy,Jackson are real NFL QB's. Looks to me like Love will get there as well in a few years. Stroud looks terrific. I expect Ped and the Jags to make a run next season. Bryce Young could be good in Carolina but we gave all our players away,so that is a start from Scratch for him. I really enjoyed the little time I had to see McKee for us. he understands the QB spot. IDK how good he can be

Lane getting up there as well. More prone to injury when you get up there. RG will be a need. I will forever remember Kelce's SB speech,that was a HOF speech

I’m not so sure. Things aren’t setup ideal to pay him and improve the team. They have to consider letting him walk and drafting another WR. Unless they trade AJ. Smitty money is tricky. Not clearly so dominant to just pay top WR money.

Yeah, you can see the difference of the varsity level player when they adjust at the line and make those difficult throws needed in the modern NFL.

Watching tonight....Smith could have had 200 yards and probably a couple of scores with one of those QBs.

Bucs have massive beef inside. Why didn’t I see Kelce pulling and using his athletism this whole playoff game? Wasn’t he always leading out on the edges getting blocks in the second level? Like his whole career. But didn’t notice it at all tonight.

When they showed Kelce,he just looked like he was thinking "do I want to go through this another year?" he may still play,but this team will not even be as good next year as they are now
