Even if that’s the case, why do you care so much?  Personally, I’m not a Reid fan.  Guy had a nice run but then failed in Philly, wore out his welcome and moved on to greater success in KC. Good for him.  But I don’t have some allegiance to him.  It’s not personal to me.  

It's disappointing to see other Eagles fans who are supposedly "knowledgeable" about the game resort to silly and ridiculous opinions about Andy Reid's career.   The irony is that these same "fans" hated Reid prior to him winning a Super Bowl and now throw dirt on his career by saying, "He only won it because he drafted Mahomes".

I mean - it's beyond ridiculous at this point. 

Anyone that has any sense about the game knows that Andy Reid is not only a great head coach - designing plays, etc but he's also a "QB Whisperer" who makes excellent player/personnel decisions, and develops QB's into some of the best the game has ever seen.  McNabb, Vick, Smith and Mahomes all had some of their best seasons under Andy Reid.

Do you think that's a coincidence or do you think the coach has something to do with it?

Is that the game with the clear recovery that the refs screwed up?

No, that's Clete Blakemen who we just had against the NYG. I meant this year the first Cowboys game we had him.

6 days till the game, what else are we supposed to talk about ??

You’re insinuating that Jalen should have thrown more, in a game where we were up 28 at the half and they couldn’t stop our run game at all. Wtf kind of take is that? It’s no less ridiculous than the most ridiculous thing RTK is ever said. It clearly shows either bias or a complete lack of understanding of football. I’m not sure which. You think Jalen should have just been airing it out all second half? You can’t be serious 

"What else are we supposed to talk about?” 😂 gtfooh 😂😂😂

I will trade RTK for @Godfather, @hputenis can get stuck with RTK.

Did I say he should have thrown for more ??  I said he threw for 145 while the boys up front and Miles put in serious work, and WIP is not even talking about them.

Am I not allowed to point that out ??

And Jalen's accuracy has never been so putrid as you make it out to be.  He wasn't going out in his first two years continually lofting balls over people's heads or into the dirt, throwing uncatchable passes all over the field.  He wasn't Tim Tebow out there.  He was giving his guys chances to make plays.  He had terrible WRs in 2020 and 2021 with the exception of a rookie Devonta who had his own issue with drops early in his rookie season.  Where was off was timing.  A throw might have been a little bit late in certain situations but again that is something that is naturally going to improve over time the more that QB exists in that system with the players around him.  

Actually, he was almost exactly Tim Tebow out there last year. Idk arguing with me about it. I’m on "your side” according to Mike.

I respect that Reid was a big part of turning this into a winning franchise.  He didn't succeed but his success as a head coach helped this franchise immeasurably.  The Eagles were right to move on from him but I appreciate his job as a coach.  He is a great coach.

Nobody. 

What I said was "Andy did not win a Super Bowl until he had the best QB of his generation"

This is true.  Of course, Andy had a role in Mahomes' selection and development to a greater degree than Belichick ever had any role in the Patriots ending up with Brady.  You can say the same about Belichick. So you can say that he didn't win without Mahomes but he was key in KC getting Mahomes. Belichick probably never wins one without Brady.  He had 2 losing seasons without him in NE. Cowher likely never wins one without Roethlisberger.  There have also been plenty of talented QBs that never one because their coach weren't good enough. Dan Marino was a fantastic player for years. Philip Rivers was a great QB that didn't win because of his coaches.  It's not a one player game. 

The 2 statements that Reid does not win a Super Bowl without Mahomes and Reid is a great head coach, aren't mutually exclusive.

You insinuated that his stat line somehow made it so he didn’t deserve any praise. He didn’t have more yards, because he was so good the first half, that we didn’t have to throw any more. But you’re lowkey trying to pretend it’s a bad stat line. You’re grasping at anything to downplay Jalen and it’s making you look really silly at this point. But have at it. I’m done responding to the love birds in here

How about AJ's hammy? What's going on there and did we ever find out why he was so upset on the sideline at the end of the game?

Steichen/Gannon are going to earn their money this week. Will be the toughest coaching matchup all year. If they get outcoached, we're not talented enough to off-set it unless we get turnover luck. Hopefully they studied SF during the bye week.

I sure hope it was the hammy, if not, a real bad look.

No, he didn't win it until he drafted Mahomes.  That is different.  You are taking what we are saying to an entirely different place.

I am glad you are happy with what he did in Philly.  I would take half that success for 1 Super Bowl.

Gannon vs Ryans, loser gets the Texans HC job.

When I read nonsense, I respond to it.  But you're probably right - next time I read nonsense on this board, I should probably ignore it.

Tim Tebow in 2011 (11 starts): 46.5%, 1,729 passing yards, 6.4 YPA.

Jalen Hurts in 2021(15 starts): 61.3%, 3,144 passing yards, 7.3 YPA.

 

Yeah, he was almost exactly Tim Tebow out there last year.  

Tebow>hurts

McLane reported it wasn't a hammy, it was a hip issue and that it's nothing major.

Switching things up

1. Who do you want to win the AFC?

2. Who is the better matchup assuming Eagles win?

3. Who do you think we'll see, assuming Eagles win?

 

For me I think Bengals is the answer for all 3, although #2 is close if Mahomes has a bad ankle.

It has been interesting to listen to SF sports radio last week and today.  The Bay Area reporter for The Athletic was on this morning and his assessment was that the Eagles D-line is "bad against the run.”

He used the Washington loss as his evidence.  If I remember correctly Davis was on IR for that game and Joseph and Suh had not been signed yet.  Am I remembering right?  
 

Looking at the stats for the Giants game on Saturday, they got 118 yards rushing on 20 carries, which is a respectable 5.9 YPC. However, 98 of those yards came in the second half, only 20 came in the first half on 7 carries … a not so respectable 2.9 YPC.

I don’t believe the Birds are as bad against the run as that argument suggests.

Thoughts?

That's actually not what you said originally. 

I was going to leave it alone but since you keep harping about it, your quote stated, "And Reid did not win until he got the best QB of his generation, and who could go down as one of the top 5 all time."  Nothing about "winning it all" or "winning a Super Bowl".   

Which is objectively FALSE.
