There is no point of bowl pick em's anymore with the transfer portal, opt outs, coaching changes, etc.  Bowl season is ruined outside of the playoffs.  The only thing the NCAA can do to save the sinking ship is expand the playoffs.

You sound like someone who is getting pummeled in a bowl pickem.

The 10 yard out?   

maybe. I thought it was a little more than that. Regardless there was no margin for error on the placement. It was his 1 good throw of the game.

Yeah no crap, average teams lose to bad teams on occasion.  Heck of a revelation.  Welcome to 40 years ago.  The real point is that Jalen Hurts sucks and is part of the reason why this team is average.  Seems I should give Sirianni more credit.   

Hurts doesn’t suck, but he also isn't great, or really good.  But he doesn't suck.  Fromm sucks, Glennon sucks, all the QBs on Carolina, WFT, Jets, Jaguars, Saints, Lions, Chicago, Dolphins, Cleveland, now the Steelers suck.  Hurts is a good back up.  Good back ups don't suck.  But they are back ups.

I really want to give him credit for that one - that was a really nice throw… not sure he could do it twice though, womp womp.

no he sure cant. but he did make it once so I give credit where its due for making it.

He's actually one of the better commentators if you can get past his "accent" IMO

He's pretty insightful

Not sure, haven't paid attention.  Either way, it's not wrong though.  One of the marquee non playoff match ups nobody cares about because well they have no HC's or QB's due to the new NCAA.  That game is OU vs OU (Ok vs Or).  3 teams have backed out of their bowl games due to covid right?  F'n Rutgers got slotted for a game now?  It's a mess.

It was his best by far.  There were a few other good ones.

yeah. college football sucks. Its only purpose is for the NFL draft. 

Hope Howard is ready to go next week.

Depending on your perspective, the team is either average because of the OL overcoming the deficienciesy in the passing game (Hurts)...or they are average because Hurts is holding back an OL that would otherwise be the foundation of an excellent offense.  Just imagine how much better this already dominant OL would be on the ground if teams weren't playing the run against them on every play...

A stinger for Howard is bad news. We will see.

Sanders scoops up the considerable runway that the OL gives him.  They didn't miss him before and won't miss him this time either.

Hurts will fill the RB void if Sanders and Howard can't go.  They'll still get their ground yards thanks to the OL.  If Hurts passes less and runs more to compensate for losing Sanders, the offense will be that much more effective anyway.

I just looked at that bowl pickem and I think Bacarty is in the lead at 8-7. This is pathetic. Only 5 participants, and we all suck. 

I guess the data shows Bacarty is smarter than you.

Nah, Sanders is a loss.  He can get 17 when Howard and Scott only get 8 on the same play.

Apparently some don't realize that average teams or even good teams lose to a bad team sometimes.  Otherwise.....I wouldn't have to say it.

As far as Hurts, I agree with you. So what are you arguing with me about?  😄

 

Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would make the playoffs, this is crazy.

Shame is that sort of luck hasn't happened to the Eagles' benefits yet.

Your concerns about him are something that is fixed with more time and comfort in a specific offensive system.  He has earned the chance to be QB against next season.  

 That’s up to Howie & Jeff, using common f sense they’ve seen Hurts win two games this season with his arm, Atlanta and the WFT, that was missing players and coaches, but there’s no doubt he played really well.  How many times do you think he can under throw passes over 35-40 yards for it not to be a concern?

I can't recall Hurts ever throwing a deep pass to a receiver in stride. 

It seems on every long pass, the receiver has to play like a centerfielder...

 Considering how much Siriani likes to go down the field, it’s almost like he enjoys showing the league Hurts can’t throw it past 40 yards to prove a point. 

Howard looked injured too. That could be bad if sanders and Howard are out. Who’s up next? Don’t think gainwell has enough to step up to the level required . 
 

also is hurts ankle isn’t right you feel that they will force more passing and go back to ignoring the run game

He has connected on a lot of those passes this year including 2 today.

But come playoff time we will have the leagues best offensive line and running game with a team that is confident behind it.  Underdog mentality and all of that.  This team is capable of a first round upset.  They can't play like they did on offense if the first half today but they have the ability to beat most teams in the league if they manage to put it together for 4 quarters.  

Wanna bet a month suspension on it ??

Look at you wanting to propose a bet just for an excuse for you to root against this team openly.  Good work finding a way to get more blatant over your dislike of the Eagles.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Eagles bring in an RB for a week or two in case Howard has to miss time. Not sure who is out there worthwhile.

Maybe Shady lol.
