Hurts maybe not so great after all?

Eagles won't be the number 1 seed at seasons end. This ishtty run defense and lack of run game on offense is starting to become a trend. Do what made you successful earlier in the season

Run D appears to be fixed. Offense is in self destruct mode last 2 weeks. Just gotta shake that funk. 

Probably happens in the next half. 

So quick recap:

Barely snuck by Houston 

Get punched in the mouth 

Losing to a sub.500 team

No worries guys! 8-1! 

Big halftime for Sirianni. It's clear last week wasn't an aberration. Adjust or wither away.

Defense isn’t doing too bad outside of that first drive. Offense has done absolutely nothing all game.

correct. He doesn thave the TE as an outlet. He is forced to make a passing game work by consistently targeting WRs. He doesnt do well with that. His main play now is forcing the ball to AJ Brown. Everything else is inconsistent. And even that hasnt been working as well lately.

Offense has been undisciplined with those stupid penalties

Ugh. I know there was barely any time but I hate the cowards kneels with 3 timeouts. Especially after a performance like that.

Why not just run the ball and see if Sanders can break a long one?  Once upon a time, he could do that from time to time.

Double bye week...  Steelers/Houston and a mini bye right after.

 

 

10-3 going to the half is pathetic for this team.  Colts doing what they need to do today.  Eagles... not so much.

The offense made too many mistakes and had too many bad play calls. They need to execute. The defense played better after the first drive but still allowed the late score. 
 

 

I think @FranklinFldEBUpper posted about long FGs against us over the years but I’d be curious to know the numbers of 50+ yard field goals against the Eagles versus the league average. It feels like opposing teams are hitting those at a 90% clip against them. 

Makes too much sense

Nah, can't do that. We need Gainwell in there! Gainwell I tell you! More Gainwell!

FFS with this JAG

Good qbs can overcome and elevate the play of others. Hurts does neither

 

This team is 8-1.  Any period of losing in a game brings you Hurts Haters out like flies to cow poop.  They are not losing this game because of Hurts.  Of they win it, you can bet he will have played an essential role in that though.

Colts offense has been pretty dysfunctional all season.  Their defense is decent.  But, this is what we might see a lot moving forward this year.  Teams taking the air out of the ball and trying to win a low scoring game.  

Yep, but by the same token, we should be able to stay in striking distance throughout most of these games if that's how teams decide to play it. Don't us give us a chance to be as dominant, but still a decent chance to pull out some of these games.

I’m happy they gave him 5 rushes in the first half. That’s 5 times the amount as last week’s first half

Feeling fine about the 2nd half. Have moved the ball with ease for the most part. 

Have we?

Of all the crap we’ve seen from this team the last few weeks, and people want to focus on the FG makes….

idiot statement from the bandwagon jumpers

The defense has done its job. It's not great, but it's fine.

The offense needs TDs. THROW THE BALL in 11/10 personnel. Use Pascal as a TE.

They had a drive completely killed by 3 straight penalties that came on 3 straight good offensive plays.   First drive also killed on a penalty. Then after driving the offense down to second and goal Kelce snaps the ball too high and its a positive that Hurts was even able to recover it. 

 

Offense is shooting themselves in the foot.  It isn't Hurts.
