He can make plays as a runner but he sucks as a passer. So Siri knows Hurts sucks as a passer, then proceeds to call a game plan that has the QB throw on every play but 3 for the entire 60 minutes?

Yeah I agree. I said before Siri needs to commit to running more. But if he had a QB that can, you know, be accurate, things would have looked alot different last night. Maybe we still lose but it would be alot closer.
September 28, 20214 yr I'm wondering if the short practices Siri touted during the off-season has led to more penalties. Maybe the players loosened the reins on their discipline a bit or maybe being sharper and more organized in longer practices would've cleaned up things like 12-men on the field. We do know that the shorter practices hasn't helped to prevent injuries as the team has been hit hard with big injury losses.

Even Lurie has his limits. don't be sure....It seems that Howie is almost a malignant narcissist..and one thing that they can do is deflect blame and rally sympathy at the same time...to the point where even the truth gets distorted and people start to believe the lies....and ultimately someone else gets the scape-goat mark...
September 29, 20214 yr Yeah, yeah. Reid started 0-4 year his first season, then was 2-7 at one point. How about giving the guy an actual chance?

Yup, Howie already fired his scape goat to get through this season untouched. Firing Doug Pederson was to telling the world that he was the issue for the decline in this team. So now Howie gets to work his " magic" with a new coach. Firing Doug gave Howie another 2 years at least.
September 29, 20214 yr The fastest way Siri's butt is out the door at the end of 2021, assuming a bad season, is if a coveted hot coaching candidate on the F.O. radar becomes available.

Howie is Lurie's way of being a GM without being a GM. Chip Kelly's failure to grasp this was his undoing in Philly.

I'm not sure of anything. Just a feeling that if they are really bad this year, he finally pulls the plug on Howie.
September 29, 20214 yr Every first time head coach is on the hot seat to prove themselves. Most new head coaches fail. With all the changes we just have to see how things are at the end of the season. Will they give up or persevere? Will he lose the locker room or will they keep working hard? Do they show improvement or getting worse? Lots of season to go.

That wasn't a billion dollar company it was barely a million dollar company. So if someone can do that then Lurie can fire Howie lol.

Picking up a girl (in some contexts guy, see 1a.) with the intent of using her for sex. Or in other words, using your game to run (on) a girl. It can also mean cheating on someone. 2. In a general context, running game means cheating or otherwise playing someone for a fool. 1a. 50 cent (Ya Don't Love Me) - Tryna run game on me you punk ****, I know you don't love me. 1b. Jhene (Dog) - Tryin run game on me you're a dog - thinkin you could cheat on me 1c. Ciara (Pick Up the Phone) - run game on a rookie cuz I'm too sharp for that why, don't you pick up the phone? 2. Wu-tang (Shame on a ****) - Shame on a ****, who try to run game on a ****...To the young youth, ya wanna get gun? Shoot!...Punk! You playing me, chump, you get DUMPED

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the directive to go pass heavy is coming from upstairs. Howie/Lurie want to know what they have in Hurts, so they want him throwing the ball plenty. It’s too bad because I legitimately believe that Sanders could be a 1200-1400 yard runner I’d he actually got a decent number of touches.

Can’t be in the hot seat for calling the owner’s play sheet. This has the signs of Lurie’s meddling all over it. Lurie is pulling analytics from his ass and forcing Sirianni to be his b i tch.

So Lurie/Howie are going to influence a pass heavy attack because they’re more interested in seeing Hurts prove himself as a passer, even though going super pass heavy puts him in a position to fail and doesn’t allow the new staff to truly implement their scheme? That they would be pushing him to try to be successful even though in the worst possible circumstances and put the rest of the team in a position to fail as a result doesn’t make sense. Not saying it can’t be true … if there is any truth to it we Eagles fans are so screwed … we’ll never see another championship with the two of them sitting at the top here.

October 1, 20214 yr I recall reading somewhere that Sanders was a bit nicked up last week. Still - whatever happened to Boston Scott? Has he even taken a snap this year?
