Like I said, look around the league. How many teams have we played already missing both starting CB's? Bucs already ruled out Brown, Gronk, Sherman and Lavonte David while already missing both starting CB's. Cleveland Browns had a ton of guys missing yesterday and 19 players on their injury report. 

My perception is the Eagles are somewhere around league-average for injuries, which is a HUGE improvement over the past few seasons of being decimated at numerous positions.

Probably. Maybe my perception is warped from 3 straight seasons of constant guys going down. This year it felt like it was coming with a bad stretch across the Week 2 and 3 losing Graham, Brooks and Seumalo but then settled down.

Didn't we lose a CB or safety or was it getting one back that was out for the beginning of the season? Having so many injuries over the years definitely makes you forget about some lol

McLeod missed a few games in the beginning and they lost Wallace for 3 games, if that's what you're thinking about. 

This is pretty good to see where they compare vs the league.

Baltimore had 2 RB’s with ACL’s, then a 3rd go down with an Achilles within like 10 days.

Yup, and are going to be missing Murray this week too.

They’re lucky it’s a position that isn’t particularly important. Now losing Stanley is pretty huge. 

We were so close to getting Sudfeld vs Wentz

Might be an unpopular opinion but I think Eagles have been generally pretty healthy all year, especially when you look around the league. I think this is the first time one of the starters has been Questionable going into the game. Other than that Graham hurts, Seumalo and Brooks as well, but it really hasn't been that bad.

 

 

And we've still been bad. 

It’s better than what we normally experience that’s for sure. One of the few positives of the season

Forgot about fantasy football this week, remembered to check today, had 5 starters on a bye. That would of been bad 😂

You may get your wish by the 2nd quarter.

So it’s possible the 49ers are going to tank?  Awesome, the Colts need to keep winning.

49ers have been hit pretty hard by injuries too. I definitely feel their pain

The Colts need to look competitive heading into game 12 and Wentz needs to stay healthy.   Then they can lose every game after that for us.

Every team loses a handful of guys each year.  None of them are that surprising either.  You are correct though, we've lost a few starter games this year, but compared around the league the Eagles aren't in too bad of shape injury wise.   Talent wise, that's a different subject.

I'm no football genius, but that must make it easy for a defense.

If only the team had another option besides passing every down to make it less predictable.

Absolutely. One of the biggest problems with the Eagles right now is they are making it way too easy for opposing teams pre-snap, on both sides of the ball. There's nothing confusing to make the other team think or fear before the snap, and it leads to fewer mistakes.

It is rather damning on both Hurts and Sirianni.  Hurts for being incompetent as a passer and Sirianni for not allowing straight handoffs to take some of the pressure off him.  

Didn’t he throw to the middle last week?

Yep. Their heavy reliance on RPO's along with a subpar QB is allowing opposing teams to dictate what they do.

I wonder what the % of rpo runs vs straight hand offs is.???

Do the eagles even have any designed run plays and have they run any???

I'm tired of watching other teams line up under center and hand the ball off or roll out, can hurts even handle anything under snap or is it more sirrianni doesn't have any under center plays?
