I mean seriously how many other teams bring in the accountant to help with the D gameplan???

And you add that to the fact that Howie has final say of who dresses on Sunday or has a major influence on the gameday roster and it just makes it even worse.  Do what you do well which is trade former high draft picks for 5th rounders and let the coaches coach.

Can't wait to see Howie get praise next year when DeVonta Smith demands a trade and they get a 4th round nickel CB in return.

Who thinks that we can win games with him just playing mistake free football and depending on the rest of the team to carry him??

And if people really think that then he isn't a good QB. Stopped watching after he said put the team on his back with his legs. THAT'S NOT WHAT A QB IS SUPPOSED TO DO

 

Jalen wasn't carried by the rest of the team on Sunday.  The Eagles won that game in large part due to Jalen making plays throughout that game.

The guy said people were hoping he could improve enough to play mistake free football and get carried. Completely separate point.

He made plays with his legs rather than his arm, that isn't sustainable and isn't going to win playoff games

Neither is the crap OLine and DLine play. 

I’m far from sold on Hurts, but some of you would bash him if he threw for 30/30 600 yards and 9 TDs. 

Not trying to single you out but you have to give credit where credit is due. Hurts had a good game and we won despite a disappointing performance in several other areas. Pass protection, D-Line play, and tackling all sucked.

C'mon brah. He can't even do that in Madden on rookie mode

Is next week the real test?

Is this the week Hurts stays in the pocket and delivers the ball with accuracy? 

 

 

Nah just playin

Many of them with his feet, which isn't sustainable.

That's called a 'game manager'.

I'm just stuck on the Howie helping Gannon with the defensive gameplan.

I hear ya.  I mean, we've joked about that... but, somehow in some manner, there is truth to it.  Just crazy.

I wasn't going to say it... but since you did cue it up so nicely.   

Hurts is supposedly not a finished product, but is ascending.  He needs reps.   He needs to work on staying in the pocket, and where better to work on that than a PS game where there's no real downside to INTs, bad throws, sacks, etc.   
Mailata is still way behind in total football played against any one he ever lines up against.  More reps can only help that deficit.
Dickerson is entering year 2.  He's far from a finished product.
Jurgens would get more out of working with the ones than with the twos.
Seumalo was flipping side to RG.  
Dillard needs RT reps.

These guys should have played more PS games.   Simple as that.  

Seems like those joint practices don't help with rust lol

He's not critiquing Hurts like he did last season. There were a few plays were someone was open and Hurts ran for it instead and he said that was a good idea from Hurts

He does sound different

This QB performance seems objectively better than the usual from last year with some throws over the middle, to the left and a nice deep ball - but where are the intermediate passes? No INTs, but Hurt’s clock still seems to run fast and I didn’t see much success throwing hot (which will be game planned by our opponents until he figures it out). His running ability broke the Lions defense - but very little about this game gave me confidence that we could get by TB in a rematch. The D has a lot to prove this week - wow.

It almost seems like maybe joint practice is still 'practice' and the tempo/intensity just isn't the same as the game action, even Pre season games.

It’s all because the Dolphins got sick and we missed out on a wonderful joint practice opportunity. Don’t pay attention that the Dolphins blew out the Birds in that pre-season game anyways.

Grammy award coming

He cuts off their legs and then carries them on his back. Very heroic.

Hey there buddy... how was your day?  🙂

Why was the team so unprepared to play the Lions?

Starters had an entire month and the coaches had 2 weeks from the last preseason game. Kelce said something along the lines that the blitzes confused them because they hadn’t seen it before. The defense gave up a TD and the offense didn’t do anything on their first series.

They certainly were lucky it was just the Lions, but they won’t be so lucky against the Vikings if they prepare the same way.

Most of the worst problems were on defense; they played like tackling has been outlawed

The lions always play crazy week 1 games. 

In 2019, they were up 24-6 before the cardinals came back and the game ended in a 27-27 tie

in 2020, the lions were up 23-6 over the bears. The bears came back to beat the lions 27-23

in 2021, the niners were up 38-10 and 41-17. Lions got it back to 41-33. (Recovered an onside to score to make it 41-33). Then deebo fumbled and they nearly came all the way back. 

eagles didn’t play great defensively and it was much closer then it needed to be. But the lions during week one have made it a habit.
