January 17, 20223 yr Hard to believe that Pittsburgh is offering more resistance to KC than we did early against Tampa.

But Lurie is also a guy that prefers a pass first offense. And we’ve seen that’s not the best way to utilize Hurts right now. Also, they heard all the criticism last year, and apparently stopped meddling. And it appears to have paid off in terms of last year’s draft.

He had a full good season before Kelly got rid of him. But yes he's never been able to stay healthy or consistent for a long period.

Glad it happened though, Eagles needed to play a good team again to put this late season run into perspective. If it would of ended the way it did without them playing another good team it would not of forced them to take a better look at what they have. That's my opinion anyway.

The quality was definitely watered down this weekend, but Goodell and the owners are all about the money vs. quality of the game. Tagliabue and Rozelle thought both were important. Truthfully, the Steelers and Eagles were not good enough to be there.
January 17, 20223 yr First off, do I think Hurts played poorly? Yes, he did. Said to my girl yesterday it’s the first time I had real doubt. Coaching was bad, play in general wasn’t good enough (Goedert drop, Reagor fail), Refs sucked.. it was a terrible game. Still, Hurts was bad too. Not needs to be replaced asap bad but if he doesn’t step it up big time he will not last here. We did make the playoffs, we played Brady and the reigning champs. All true. But it still wasn’t good enough. We should have played better. Not necessarily win, but better. That Dallas stunk it up again makes it a bit less painful now, and that we got 15-16-19 helps too, but I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

His performance yesterday opens the debate wide open. Who knows what Howie and Lurie are thinking and what they are going to do but you've got to think they are now seriously considering a change.

I can't imagine that they are too happy after getting dismantled like that. Just wait until they watch the rest of the playoffs and watch how QB driven these playoff teams are. I'd bet a change is coming.

For better or worse we just became totally unpredictable in the offseason. I still prefer using picks 15,16,19 on good players but at this point everything is on the table. I just hope it’s not Watson.

At the LOS identify the defense has packed the box, audible out if the run to the slant. Hit 2 of those slants, the Tampa D has to back off and then Sanders would have had a 100 yard game. Bingo. Analysts are already breaking down the tape and showing all of the reads Hurts failed to make all game long.

I kept saying the same thing to my wife during the game. An average QB would of torn it apart. What’s that say about Hurts?

Just awful playcalling by Sirianni. Why? When you fall behind 31-0 you're forced to abandon the run game. Moreover, I've been trying to tell you guys since forever, when it comes to playoff football against stout run defenses you need power runners, Sanders, Scott and Gainwell aren't power runners, I will admit Howard should have gotten more carries to control the clock and keep Brady off the field. No doubt Sirianni's game plan wasn't well thought out.

If they had a good QB who has a dangerous arm, they can't stack the box, because someone would always be open on every play. Hurts couldn't find any of them, and the Bucs were betting on that. I would also like to see a Blount type of big running back to compliment the running game.
January 17, 20223 yr Yesterday we saw the Eagles team that lost 8 games during the season. Turnovers, bad play calling, penalties, passive Defense, etc. And I am not surprised by that. Very inconsistent season from the Coaches and Players. Would have nice to see the team that won 9 games. Even if it was only for a half.

Even if it was only for a half. The biggest determinant to that all season long has been the quality of opponent. So no surprises we saw the team that lost 8 games in the playoffs rather than the team that beat up on some of the worst teams with major QB issues.
