Howie being Howie won't let this guy get away for nothing. Kicker is overlooked, until you miss a kick. Then it costs you a game. Dicker should be worth a pick to a team that's desperate for a kicker. One of Howie's best traits is never being satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Eagle Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 That was fugly, but a W is a W all day long and 5-0 is not to be sniffed at. The Cards did well to adjust their D after the opening few series and things didn't get going afterwards. My concern is the O gets itself into a hole early against a better team, and will struggle to get out of it. Tape will be out there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoEagle Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 7 minutes ago, RLC said: The Eagles' "abomination" of an offense scored 20 points this week, which was around the league median. Scored more than teams with Wilson, Burrow, Lamar, Stafford, Lawrence, etc. Was it a good performance? No. Are there concerns about beating the blitz? Yes. But on 3rd and 11, Hurts audibled and excited well in a traditional dropback passing game to hit that pass to Goedert. That's exactly what you want to see. This feels like whataboutism. Just because other offenses struggled has no correlation to our own issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also curious to see if Hurts ran that actual play. My thought process was Shane wanted to run the ball, Hurts didnt, Shane said trust me, Hurts changed the play which is why it looked sloppy as f That’s a believable narrative, a QB generally wants the ball in his hands - aside from the Goedert play, the signature drive was very 2021.

Just a coach that uses him like the dynamic weapon he is rather than a possession WR. The way they used him yesterday was pathetic. How many screens did he catch? He was getting absolutely crushed on every one of them and there wasn't any clear space for him to run. He may have gotten 5-6 yards on them but he isn't a quick, shake you kind of player which is what those screens needed. Get him in to open space across the middle and watch him flourish. Throw him the ball downfield and let him use his wingspan. They are completely misusing him. Bc the qb cant consistently make those plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The Panthers have an abomination of an offense. The Texans are gross on offense too. The Eagles were average, and we're disappointed. Having higher standards is good, but put it into perspective.

Too many QB sneaks. Almost seemed like they went into the game with a game plan 1/3 of the regular one. Saving things for Dallas perhaps, but far too conservative. They got away with it though. Constant blitz and a D playing 10 players near the LOS is a strategy against team that won’t risk going vertical or hasn’t fine tuned their quick game. Perhaps with the starting OL we’ll have the confidence to block it up and take some shots - still unsure why the bubble seemingly was the only counter to what the Cards were doing.

DEagle7 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 15 minutes ago, bpac55 said: Something happened after the first 3 series. From the start, it looked like AJ Brown and the offense was going to feast all game long. His 3 catches were contested but looked easy. We just want Hurts so spread the ball evenly. Yea, there are going to be games where one or the other goes off but this was just weird. But then all of the sudden, Brown was non existent. If I had to pick AJ Brown or DeVonta Smith to call what seemed to be 6 WR screens, I'm picking Brown every time. His YAC is more broken tackles than DeVonta's who's is finesse. Smith was getting killed. AJ Brown is built much better to take those hits. I don't want our 165 lb. stick of a WR taking those hits. I'm not arguing that either of those complaints aren't valid. Fully agree the usage of either didn't make sense this game. Which is especially frustrating since we've seen them used well earlier in the season. I'm not football savvy enough to know for sure but I'd guess part of it is Steichen planning around certain defensive schemes/players and getting too cute.

This game was very reminiscent to DET in terms of the challenges, but AJ had no problems getting involved and Swag broke the blitz (Simmons is probably a better solution to whatever the Lions were spying with).

In terms of the play coming out of the TO, having AJ and Quez in the same area didn’t seem right. Actually, the usage of AJ in general seemed weird. Yeah something was definitely wrong when you have two receivers running essentially the same route 2 yards from each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike31mt Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Maybe my perspective is different because I watched a recording of the game after I knew the result But I didnt have a major problem with the offense. We really were 2-3 mistakes away from opening up comfortable leads on multiple occasions. The fake punt, holding call near the goal line, Devontas drop on 2nd down right before Hurts got sacked....all these took points off the board As far as the WR screens, the Eagles needed to do something to discourage the all out blitzing. The Cowboys will notice that, and Im betting we see some playcalls that work off of those screens in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dropped INT, the missed FG at the end, the early slide followed by the spike to force the FG attempt immediately. It goes both ways in a 60 minute game. It wasn't a good offensive performance... especially after they got to 14-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEagle7 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Some positives: Josiah Scott played well in Maddox's place and Jordan Davis' snap count is up. Crazy to think we have not only great starting CBs, but good depth too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuManu Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 A few things to note… We were down 2-3 starters on the OP for parts of the game and faced a team that blitzed on 45 percent of our pass attempts. Both teams were good at sustaining drives. We only had eight possessions and scored on half of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to think we have not only great starting CBs, but good depth too. Scott did do well, seemed like the only DB that wanted to tackle (well Eppsy is fairly consistent). JD did his job as usual. The penny fronts were working early - did we get out of that when the Cards started picking on TJ in coverage? The 4-man fronts just seemed ineffective and/or reliant on unforced errors as the backend was very loose in coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need a statistical analysis to tell you that the sky is blue and Justin Tucker is a great kicker. I don't know what Fangio is helping with but he's certainly helping. He's not traveling with the team so he must be helping with the preparation and probably giving feedback on the calls during the previous game.

The 3 TE sets with AN Brown on the sidelines were perplexingly dumb. We have a great set of WR, we’re indoors and we’re playing a dumbed down 2021 offense. Fing let it rip. Ish! I imagine the 12 personnel was to help out Driscoll and create a wider front for the outside blitz to get around - the 13 personnel was the 2021 drive. I agree, I rather get AJ the ball on quick hitters or give Quez a chance over the top (rollout away from the overload?)… be more aggressive, less predictable.
