He actually caught a touchdown! I guess that means his fan club feels vindicated. 😂🤣😂

I would like the running QB to be 100% by the playoffs, and have him run in the playoffs.

I think that’s the only way they win - hopefully they are saving his health for the playoffs. 

100% or not, it ain't gonna work, Tampa's LBs are too good for that elementary game plan, not only will Hurts be shutdown from running it's gonna be the same thing for Swift, their LBs are too good.

Bye Watkins

His expanded role consisted of what 4 targets?

The Eagles better lock him down with a big contract before he gets too many offers.

This Watkins experiment is over!  He’s where he is on this team for a reason.  Anyone that thought he was gonna show up last night and ball must be naive.  Why are we wasting a spot in this team for him.  Add Zacheas to that as well. Jones too.   These guys in these positions should have a decent game peppered in the season at least three or four times a year.  These guys are no shows for most of the year.  You have smith and AJ taking defenses top defenders and these guys get the left overs on coverage and still can’t produce.

Yes. Watkins was 100% the problem with this team. 

They're going to need a handful of WR's in the off-season. That was Watkins last game for the Eagles and after Brown and Smith they have nothing there. I don't think any of the others come back other than Covey as a return specialist.

A "handful?"  They barely target any other WRs.  They will be returning their big 3 targets which includes Goedert, Oz will likely get re-signed on a cheap deal.  They will add 1 receiver either a cheap free agent or mid round draft pick.

They need to focus resources on defense anyway.

Covey deserves a chance to win the slot job. He's tough as hell, shifty, and white.

Yup, they'll sign 5 and probably cut 1 or 2 of them, maybe they spend a 4th or 5th rounder at the position that can also play special teams like Mack Hollins did early in his time here. But I don't see any of Julio, Quez or Oz coming back. They need a run blocking WR as their 4th guy to replace Pascal from last season. Quez and Oz aren't those guys. Maybe Oz gets a cheap deal but I still think the 3 and 4 options are going to be different. It will also depend on how many WR's they carry on the active roster.

If they want to run WR screens he is one of the ideal guys to actually be in on the play.

I don't understand how folks can come to a conclusion like this when he wasn't, the only ball thrown was on that stupid WR screen.

Hey, if a catchable ball is thrown his way and and he doesn't make the catch, then you can criticize the guy.

All I know is Mariota found him, this foolishness about Hurts doesn't trust him is total BS, throw it to him if he's open.....PERIOD!!, no, he throws 90% of the passes to Smith, I'm beginning to question that guys intelligence.  

"Throw it to him if he’s open”

 

so never, then?

I saw someone say: the phone rang, but it was on Do Not Disturb.   (He had 3 catches, but I thought that was funny).

Anybody got some totals on his eliteness this year? My google broke.

Regular season totals:

21 targets, 15-142-1TD

304 snaps

0 drops

 

60.6 PFF grade

I can't figure out why he seems to always be on the receiving end of pass interference and he never gets the call🤔

Will be cut eventually.  His time is up in Philly.

Though I do believe it’s time to move on from this player I have to state this year some of these play designs have been ridiculously bad. Nevertheless he didn’t do enough to bring him back.
