Southparkeagles Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 That was painful to watch. Some bright spots, but mostly negative. Real crap show at times. Some cuts should be a no brainer after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleblood52 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Mariorta is either 3 or gone…mckee can drop some dimes… defense looks good..look aggressive… need to sharpen it up big time..but still feel good about this year we stay healthy…3 losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laser focus, after I saw his phone wallpaper I knew that we're going to be in for a hell of a ride this season. Takes some big Fing balls, positivity and self-awareness to stare at that every day with the constant reminder that he was so closing to winning it all.

Crazy Legs Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Leading up to the draft, I had hoped that somehow the Ealges would have drafted DTR. He has had 2 impressive preseason appearances. I also expected that we would sign someone like Mariota to provide an experienced presence. I got one wish fulfilled and one not. Mckee has been apleasant surprise. Let's just hope that Mariota can improve his performance if called upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vileborg Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 McKee looked pretty good. He's still a little raw so i'd probably bring in a vet as QB2. I'd personally like to see Foles brought in as backup. I doubt it would happen because the team wouldn't want to create drama. I personally don't think it would. I think most of the fan base understands he's a good backup that has the ability to be exceptional when he needs to be. Whereas Hurts is exceptional all the time. Ok.. Ok.. I really just want a kelly green Foles jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_irie1 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Mariota is playing like hot doo doo but y'all are crazy if you think he won't make the team and be the #2 at least to start the year. His cap hit if cut is something like $5mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkGreen Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I only watched the 3rd quarter. The highlight of the game for me was having figured out how to watch it on my tv. Season saved. From what I gathered, there are two Elisses on the team, brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can trade with the Browns for the backup QB. ?!? I can not believe that a former starting QB misses wide open receivers in from of him, twice in the row. Mariota is Wentz 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrfierce Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Mariota looks really really bad doesn't he - just doesn't have the required accuracy . Polar opposite to Mckee who impressed. Some flashes from sermon (apart from the fumble) and penny. Couple of nice plays from Dean and Ellis. The backup CBs didn't do themselves any favours either, Mcphearson inparticular. Our o line was trash surprisingly - 6 sacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsdarkstar Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 While Siriani isn't saying it, McKee is winning the Back Up Spot. I like everything about him. Especially, him making the scrubs look good. Mariota can't do that. McKee throws a better ball, is more accurate, shows command in the huddle, gets rid of the ball quickly, and has touch to his passes. It's time to give him a shot with the 2nd String and see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Around the NFL Despite Marcus Mariota's preseason struggles, Nick Sirianni isn't open to QB2 competition https://www.nfl.com/news/despite-marcus-mariota-s-preseason-struggles-nick-sirianni-isn-t-open-to-qb2-com The Eagles brain trust can't be blind to what McKee has shown. Maybe they want to keep McKee as #3 to get more NFL experience before becoming #2 next year. There may also be the "On August 18, there is no competition for QB2. Subject to change depending on circumstances." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblood Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Just let me say.... some throws were a little high.... (Borrowed from Jimmy Kempski) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesIreland Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I skipped past DAZNs crap holding screen and I stopped when the howie roseman clip started and haven’t seen the final score but I did see that Mariota had a poor showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be serious, but no one will know until he has a MRI tomorrow. Hate that I was right... but when a guy grabs for his calf like that after a non-contact injury and gets the cart typically that's what it is. Wishing a speedy recovery for McPherson.

jblah Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Tanner McKee was drafted in the 6th round with the 188th pick. Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round with the 199th pick. Coincidence? I think not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsdarkstar Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 So our Offensive Coordinator, Brian Johnson, said, that McKee is a project and Mariota is the back up. That's why he is coordinator, he can't recognize talent when he see's it. The tape speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
