Any word on Lane Johnson and what caused him to be out?  Its odd for someone to show up the play and then leave for "personal reasons” and then nothing of note to come out about it or speculated in the press.  

Jay Glazer spoke in the pre game like it was serious. He said something like "everyone keep Lane in our prayers" or something.

Not sure if he was just being courteous or if he had info on what happened.

Been wondering this myself.  Not a peep or any follow up even after the game.  Very odd.

Respecting the 'personal', to me, is a positive.  He'll put it out when he's ready.  I like this.  (the respect, not the rest).

No.  When the QB holds the ball on an RPO, that's going to happen... a lot.  And he has, and they have called it. 

No 

Sorry I've watched that play about 10 times now, Hurts throws the ball on time, Dillard gets the initial block then moves to second level at about the same time the ball is released, it was ticky tac call though I e that has been called increasingly more this year.

Like Sirrianni said wasn't Dillard's fault said they need to adjust to the leagues rules on that call and coach it or call it differently.

Hurts did everything right on that play as did goedert, just unfortunate that refs are calling that penalty so closely this year, was a big play and a bigger call.

Reagor did nothing else that game.  Smith was very good outside of that play today.  

I know, but I'm just mentioning what I liked out of him.  His speed looked to be on a different level for him today.  He needs more touches in creative ways.  They should be using him out of the backfield.  Gainwell and Reagor in the backfield could create some good mismatches. 

Still nothing near impressive from him but those things stood out to me.  We need more from him no doubt.

If I told anyone that would be Hurts numbers after 4 games we would all have been on board. 
 

Don’t understand how the numbers are so skewed cause Hurts hasn’t been good. 

His incompletions are frustrating.  Inaccurate or to the wrong guy.

He is leaving the pocket early, which doesn't show up in those numbers.

A couple games of garbage time stats.

He looks like his ceiling is the 11th-15th best QB in the league.  No man's land.

Yup, reagor should be used the same way niners  use deebo Samuel, reagor has a lot of the same skill set and yes he needs to give more. I don't think he was targeted at all today?

 

I thought Kenny Gainwell wearing #14 was bad....Le'Veon Bell wearing #17 might be the worst of the new number rules.

I think I saw one of the Philly beats mention his first target and catch came in the 4th quarter.

I really like Gainwell with #14.  Honoring Ed Podolak.

Yeah he had two good completions today, the others were easy checkdowns.  He wasn't horrible today, actually better than last week, but he also wasn't good, agree he left the pocket too early and once he did, it was either a completion for a checkdown, a run for a few yards or a incompletion. The all 22 will show what he is missing.

We already know he can run and make some plays that way.

I'd like to see him improve as a passer because that will determine whether or not he sticks as a starter.   Unfortunately in today's NFL you don't have much time as a QB to show improvement.  They don't give you 3,4,5 years to improve like they used to.

James Conner wearing, I think it was 6, is bad.

NSFW language but hilarious

Weird, seems he was used as a guy they motioned Into the backfield as a gadget guy but never ran any gadgets to him other than the jet sweep.

Would be nice to get more than 12 yards on a sweep and 1 good KR out of ones 1st round pick.

Hopefully he can show more so the eagles can stop allocating resources to WR and more to the defense 

 

I still don’t see Kyler Murray as overrated 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dude has 1 Int in 19 games with the eagles and has been lit up multiple times.

Yes, yes there is.

Does Romo not know about the rule changes that pretty much canceled out the onside kick?

Yea, I was going to mention him too. For starters, 6 is just a bad number IMO, especially on a bigger back.

I read a great article about the new numbering system and how a lot of players who barely play took "good" numbers.  Take Jerrick McKinnon wearing #1.  He's a 3rd string RB.  #1, should be a stud WR, MLB or CB...not a 3rd string player.

I wish I had bookmarked it.  Talked about how single digit numbers should be saved for guys who earn it via Pro Bowls, All-Pro and such.  He went really in depth as far as how numbers could be earned.

Disagree. He’s been reliable for us, and been good this season. Thru 2 seasons he’s been best CB on the team in a very long time 

I think the Eagles figured out a way to avoid any punt return issues.  Don't force the other team to punt all game.

high bar.

Is he playing like a top 6 CB?  He's paid like it.  He also cost a 3rd round pick in the process, plus a 5.  He's been too much talk and not enough 'big play'.
