Over 333 total yards from the quarterback, a touchdown, led them to 31 points, and no turnovers. People just need to accept the fact this offense runs through the quarterback. It’s his show. 

Won't be for long, cause now this is 2 games in a row hurts has taken a shot to the head. He is trying to protect himself but it's not going to stop teams from taking shots at him . 

Jefferson already has 111. He's racing Brown to 2k.

Bashing Hurts?  Are you serious?

Look man I'm not gonna stick my fingers in my ears and scream about everything being fine. The Eagles opened the season with a win but I have concerns about the starting QB and DC. 

I genuinely hope he becomes the guy long term because that's best case scenario for the Eagles.

Bud teams are going to take shots even at quarterbacks who sit in the pocket. The Bills weren’t throwing pillows when they hit and sacked Stafford seven times. Both Wentz and Foles are more pocket passers than runners and both spent multiple games on the sidelines due to injuries.

QB1 was the least of their problems today. 
I agree with you about Gannon.

They suffered a 2-5 start last year and barely beat the Lions today. Camp SiriSoft™ makes the team soft. It's a fact.

Yes. Soft and … healthy.

No sheet. They don't run as often as hurts does defenses don't want to take chances on hurts getting away so they will take hard shots at him even while sliding. I'm not talking about anyone else. 

Hurts sucks

Gannon swallows

 

The offense did what it had to to win. I don't think the plan is for Hurts to run 17 times per game. Detroit is an improving team with a good pass rush. We still beat them on the road with sloppy tackling. I will always argue against taking preseason lightly --- because the difference in the performance during the first few weeks might be more snaps played (by starters) than they would have had during limited preseason work. With a cleaner defensive performance, we could have been resting starters on offense and defense in the 4th quarter.

I agree with you, Hurts wasn't even remotely a problem today. It's just the little things I had hoped he would stop doing, but like I said before it was just 1 week and they brought a lot of pressure today. So we'll see...I hope he gets nothing but praise from me the rest of the season and beyond.

Soft. That's an out of shape team that a good team would have beat the crap out of- lucky it was the Lions. OUT...OF....SHAPE. I have been harping on Camp SiriSoft™ forever. That was a totally out of shape football team. In a sport as tough as football- inexcusable.

Ya know who wasn't a problem? The quarterback.

One and Run? Nah, he has grown soooo much. 🤣

Most out of shape Eagles team I have EVER seen.  Lucky it was the Lions. A good team would have beaten the sheeeet out of them today.

My point is it doesn’t matter if Hurts sits in the pocket or runs. Teams are going to hit him. 

The Vikings may put up 60 on the eagles next week

Ugly game but I’ll take the road W. First meaningful action in a game for most starters.  Lots to clean up on both sides of the ball.  My biggest issue is with Gannon and the D, they have too much talent to look that bad.  Buck stops with him.

Hurts made plays and they put up 30+ so OK but that game didn’t show me maturation as a passer.  Detroit was generating a lot of pressure which will continue with other teams if he can’t show them that he can find the hot read for easy yards and big plays.

I get it but there were times where pressure was right in his face as soon as the ball was snapped...not making excuses but I was wondering where the hell this superbowl caliber O Line that these sports analysts were praising....

I don't understand why people gripe about this. They don't like his style of QB, yet they worry that he might get hurt. My stance will always be that you can't predict or prevent injuries, no matter how hard you try.

Guess they’ll need 61 then.

You certainly can't prevent 100% of injuries but giving yourself up before the D gets to you should reduce the likelihood some. Watch somebody like A. Rodgers when he runs. He goes down before the D can get a lick in. Then watch Wentz or McNabb during his early seasons. They might get an extra yard or two but they might pay dearly for it. Donovan eventually figured it out, I don't know if Wentz has or will.

QB played well I thought. He was under a lot of pressure today. I attribute that to not mixing in the run enough and screening to back off the blitzes. Had a few drops. I'd like to see more running from the backs but hey. The D needs some help on the pass rush side. I expected them to be more stout against the run but Swift is no slouch  They have a lot more work to do than the offense that put up 31 points.

Doubtful 

Gannon is just awful. The talent on that side of the ball has grown exponentially he and did nothing with it.

Steelers seem to always show up when counted out

Remember Roethliserberger was not good last year. They made the playoffs purely on coaching and overall roster talent. A subpar Mitch Trubisky isnt something they even need to overcome. They're already there for it

I had to run an errant during halftime and got back just before the 2 min. warning. From what I gather, we scored a lot but almost let it slip away. Good finish. Lots of question marks with the older defenders.
