That wasn't a drop, sunshine man.

Could have fooled me, since it hit his hands, not a great throw, but it wasn't off his fingertips, you're paid to catch those throws.

Eagles had plays to make, the first interception was late but Smith had his man beat.

I don't think this will happen... at least, it shouldn't happen...  if you predicate your team's development on going 6-11 instead of 3-14, you're barking up the wrong tree...

I don't disagree that it shouldn't happen (at least not at the moment). But there have been a lot of bone headed decisions made by our owner/gm since the Super Bowl win.

C'mon man, that was completely on Hurts. Goedert's arms aren't built like Stretch Armstrong.

Again, I know we're not allowed to like the boyzzz or speak nice of them. But I have them #3 in the conference. Rams, Tampa, Cowboys. 

Well you're an idiot so who cares?

No one catches that ball. Only way he could have if he were a touch faster. That absolutely does not count as a drop.

JFC.  Do you watch football?  It was Reagor.  

Uhhh you messed up Mr. EIC..........Reachor is the preferred nomenclature 

Terrible Performance all around.   Nobody gets a pass.  O, D or Coaching.  Yes Sirianni and Jalen are both young and you expect growing pains in this situation.  So I can be patient.  With that said, they need to clean up a lot.   Newsflash, we lead the league in rushing coming into this game.   The game plan just wasn't good.  Some of the play calls weren't good either, this is two weeks in a row I didn't like some of the play calls.   Jalen didn't get comfortable at all.  Miles only getting 2 carries was unacceptable. Now we got a desperate Chiefs team coming in.  It's a long season but it will be a longer one if we don't fix these issues.

I'm not as down on Sirianni as are most. I am willing to give him some time.

For the first time in years, I saw wide receivers running free in the secondary.  I think the passing scheme could work - there is, however, a second part to successful execution.

What is the scheme though? Hurts locking down on one receiver and starts running if that receiver is covered. I'm no expert but I'm not exactly sure what the O is trying to run.

As an eternal optimist, and I'd say one of the more optimistic posters in the Blog.....last night broke me. It was just disgusting. It really appears from 700 ft above, that Lowie is in charge of the game plan. What coach would call so few run plays? AND if he did call more, but Hurts changed it at the line or just decided to pass on RPOs, then pull his ass out. Or don't call any more RPOs until you establish a run game.

With the personnel we have, we should be a run heavy team that heavily utilizes play action. We have enough speed to keep defenses honest. It's insanely frustrating to watch. I'm really at a loss here, and usually I can find some positives. 

Oh and now my dog has to go to the vet cause he's been throwing up every morning. Likely because of what he sees from this team. FML.

The first eleven games are horrid for a rebuilding team, they may be 2-9, @Detroit and SD at home are the only winnable games, then the last 6 they get to ruin their draft position.

I'd point out that Hurts looked better than Lawrence, Wilson, Fields or Jones. Maybe young QBs on teams with flaws struggle? And trading up to draft a young QB is not a good idea (i.e. when you're rolling dice, don't throw the deed to the house in the pot).

Of course, people have short memories (or are just young), 1999, 2016 were not fun to watch.

the good news is Wentz hasn't missed a snap, Indy is 0-3 and Miami is 1-2.

No one wants to hear your positive crap Canadian 

After so many years of McNabb and Wentz it’s refreshing to see a quarterback taking responsibility.

That being said, he’s got to get much better very soon and I haven’t really seen any sign of the improvement we need. Also, this upcoming schedule isn’t doing him any favors.

Sorry about the pooch bud.  Hope he’s ok.  

Eh his energy and appetite is still excellent, so hopefully it's just a bug or some nonsense.

I think most of us were OK understanding it was gonna be a rebuild. Even against San Fran, we were at least competitive. Last night was just flat out disgusting, basically all around. 

Gargano just said on 97.5 he would have put Minshew in last night.

That would have been difficult. Minshew was inactive.

This entire thing is a dysfunctional mess. The coach, the QB, the cap situation, the FA's, the extensions.  And it is all led by the clown Howie Roseman, worst GM in the NFL.

Duh, but he should have been active, and should have played the second half.

Yeah, but these are the games when young teams get smoked, on the road, the first home game in Dallas, they're pumped up, and we're already piling up injuries (and too thin right now to sustain them).

If they go 5-12, interesting to see what Howie does next offseason:

Cox $2.3M saving

Slay $6.3M saving

Brooks $3.7M saving

Could clear out a lot of dead money in 2022, won't be able to sign FAs, but the decks would be clear for 2023 and onward.

Disagree with the bolded, for the remainder of this year we have Minshew and Flacco, as alternative, that would clearly be better. It would be very hard to be worse  as the bar is set pretty low. 

 

I don't think Minshew or Flacco do anything to make Sirianni improve.

 there isn't one thing "refreshing" about Jalen Hurts right now. Some of you are ridiculous in your hate for past quarterbacks, both guys took responsibility constantly.

Succinct and accurate... if some of you are leaving it to Afan to be the voice in the wilderness, you need to up your game... 

I'm as disappointed as anyone with how Hurts has played the last two games, but....
