At the moment a win vs Minnesota seems like a less than 50/50 proposition for us.

I was just looking ahead a bit, and IF we can manage a win that would mean the team is coming along pretty quickly, and Im not sure we lose another one for a while.

Should beat Washington, Jags, Dallas without Dak, and Pittsburgh. Arizona presents a bit of a challenge, but less so than Minnesota.

Beating the Vikings could be a catapult to a 7-0 start. 

But a loss to Minnesota, and then Carson next the team may press a little, and could easily be 1-2, with Doug and then a trip to Arizona on deck.

Oh downunderkaren… fine… 

You will take any opportunity to whine and complain about Hurts. Any average football fan with average intelligence can see that Hurts has clear flaws, but he is what he is. You have to give credit where credit is due. He played well on Sunday. He was the best version of himself. Chill and accept it. Yes we know RTK is a clown but him just saying that Hurts played well shouldn’t trigger you so hard to bash Hurts and say he can’t throw over and over and over again. Doesn’t it get exhausting? 

So yes you’re so anti Hurts that it literally feels like you are rooting against him just so you can look like the smartest guy in the blog. That is your (and several others) agenda in here. 

Leading a team to 31 total points against any team is good. Hurts made several good plays on Sunday and the defense didn’t exactly give him short fields to work with. But yes… luckily we played the crap Lions. They suck. Playing well against a crappy team doesn’t mean he didn’t play well…. 

Geno Smith put up 17 points (0 in the 2nd half) against a not great Seahawks team and he’s already getting MVP votes… 

downunderkaren...you made my day

So,  Minnesota is a potential crossroads for our season. 

I just noticed,  newest member on EMB as of Monday is Estasi.

I wonder if Ev2.0 has made his way over.

1.  I am not complaining about Hurts, merely pointing out he did that against a bad defense that has not improved.

2.  No one is rooting against him, we are just rooting to move on to a QB with a higher ceiling as soon as possible.

3.  Should we trade for Jared Goff ??  He put up 34 points against what I have been told all offseason is this great defense that Howie Roseman assembled.

 

 

1 - we’ll see how good their defense is. Shouldn’t matter. Winning is winning. The Seahawks just beat the Broncos but no one is claiming the Seahawks are going to have a better season 

2 - It sure feels like several of you are rooting against him. Either way, as long as the Eagles are winning, he will be the QB this season. 

3 - The defense sucked. Howie sucks. Goff took a team to a Super Bowl not too long ago… 

4 - Go find another manager to complain to downunderkaren

Washington looks like a pretty decent offense. It's a very winnable game but I could see it being weird as it is a divisional game and all. Jags and Dallas without Dak (or even with if they want to push him with a broken thumb on his throwing hand) should be easy. I agree Arizona could be weird since we are traveling there and I'm not sure Eagles have ever traveled to Arizona well in the history of the franchise. Pittsburgh could be tricky. Watt should be back for that and we'll see where we are at entering the game. But Minnesota looks like the biggest hurdle in that stretch.

I will give you credit, at least you have the balls to resort to name calling and I can respond, unlike @Bacarty2 who has me on ignore while name calling.

The Bucs blitzed with zone behind it or with a spy. All eyes were on Hurts. The Lions had their backs turned. 

The Lions were playing man. Tough to play zone when you send more than four, all the more so if you send five or six.

The Bucs also blitzed their LBs while the Lion blitzed their DBs. That makes sense given personnel. 

Also, having AJ Brown changes a lot. Bucs would not have done that as much with Brown on the field.

Yup. Don't think it's close either.

Well, I had time to watch the first half. I counted three RPOs. I counted 10 ROs! Hurts handed off on 8 of the 10. Unless I was sure of the call I didn't count it. In that regard, I suspect that not all of the 10 ROs I counted were legit ROs. I think Hurts may have showed RO action just to nail the DE and never intended to run the ball himself. I counted them because they showed the RO action but that may have overstated the number. The second half will have to wait.

I would hope.   Even Chip had straight handoffs that looked like ROs.

Yup.   Big difference in method and in results.

Are you telling me they are the same guy?

I think I remember Ev living in  Las Vegas. Though Bacarty is a degenerate gambler, I think he lives in south jersey. 

Ev fancied himself an expert on rap culture and street life. Bacarty likes to fight, but I think he is in over his head on DeSean Jackson gang sign debates. 

I dont think they are the same person.

He is definitely not EV...EV was always a good thoughtful poster

Maybe @Bacarty2 is estasi then. He's one of them!
