  • Personal Note: Today was a tough day. My wife’s father passed away after a long battle with cancer at 3am this morning. He has 2 son-in-laws, and our teams are the Eagles and Bucs. So…it was kind

Yes they are. There was just a post that said he was having accuracy issues and that his decision-making is bad, both of which are objectively hilarious.

There’s like a handful that do it every game regardless of whom is at Qb. More people are complaining about his 11 turnovers. 11 turnovers isn’t good especially if it continues with the next 6games against arguably the best teams in the league. Similarly mahomes had an issue like this a couple years back in 2021 and it wound up eventually costing the chiefs against the bengals in the afc title game

I think at this point, they have no business in having a franchise in their city. They stink on many levels

They still haven't replaced Lovie Smith, and he got fired when Reid did right?  

Concerned about Carter. Hope the MRI comes back positively, but seems he won't be going this week. Massive loss.

On the offensive line side, I thought Steen played well in his limited snaps. Looked better than Opeta IMO.

Good lord Byard played every single snap?  Thats a little ridiculous. Theres absolutely no way he was mentally ready and I wonder how that impacted playcalling and scheme 

Brown was also the nickel back.

Yup.  Soldier Field is a dump too - that stadium sums them up as a franchise.

Brandon Graham looks pretty washed. That's honestly the problem above Nolan Smith/Barnett. We should be getting 30 snaps from EDGE3, not 15.

If Graham can't play, would like Milton Williams to get more DE Snaps.

And too many snaps for Reddick and Sweat. Want to keep them fresh down the stretch.

Yea, love BG but I think it might have been 1 year too many. He's playing 30% of the snaps and has 3 tackles to show for it.

Add Derek Barnett with his 20% of the snaps and 1 tackle and the Eagles have 2 DE playing combined 50% of the snaps with 4 tackles.

That's terrible production and use of personnel.

I wouldn't say he's washed , he can still give you productive snaps in the run game and generate some pressures but I'm sure this is his last season.

I dunno. I think we need to take off our Eagles colored fan glasses in regards to BG. What's a productive snap? 30% of the snaps with 3 tackles isn't much. It's the same thing with Kenny Gainwell. Sure, he's giving Swift a breather, but he's getting you 2 yards. That's not a productive snap. 

 

 

With the Cousins injury you have to wonder if the Vikes would be willing to trade Danielle Hunter.  10 sacks on the season.  Would be a big time upgrade at DE behind Reddick and Sweat.  Last year on his contract 

Get the lead Sunday and keep it…Dak is not Hurts when trailing

Hurts and Dak splits

I don't understand.   Is she saying a team trading for a player, reworking the deal and then flipping them before tomorrow's deadline?

Yes, you can’t rework a contract and move a player in the same day because both are processed together at 4pm, and the reworked contract must happen prior to the trade.

So if the agreement is that selling team eats salary for extra picks, that’s a multi-day trade

What’s the injury synopsis:

Carter - 
Davis - 
Roby - 
Jurgens -

Russini said we were shopping for a S in the days leading up. 

Given the injuries to S and the fact that they were down to nothing, I think that was much more about guessing right than inside knowledge, but it still isn't pointing to Byard, just the position.  My point is that the individual trade piece almost always comes out of nowhere.  Slay might be the last one that we had any hints beforehand of a specific target.

With Jalen Carter possibly out for extended time, and with this weeks poor showing from DT's as a result.... 

Is it time to call Suh up and see if he wants to try for another ring with the Birds?

I wouldn't gauge  his production by his tackles, he's playing a reserve role where he's been all over the D line, inside on the edge etc., he's doing alot of the dirty work, id rather have him getting snaps than Barnett, I mean even on Nolan's sack grahams job was to simply occupy a blocker, 

I'm fine with grahams snap count 

Not fine with Gainwell snap count which I think isn't comparable to graham.

I checked some stats this morning to see if I’m biased against Brian Johnson.  
 

We’re 1st in 3rd down conversion %, 3rd in 4th down %.  19th in RD and 6th in TO %.  We’re 2nd in points scored.

Overall this is better than I’d felt.  Then I looked at the defensive rankings of the teams we’ve played.  Not a single top ten defense we’ve faced.  19th on average in yards allowed and 20th in points.  
 

Not sure what conclusions to draw here.  I find myself not understanding our offensive game plan and play calling a lot of the time.  The stats I think are skewed a bit based on our schedule.

Can we handle an elite defense in a critical game?  There really is no room for growth and patience.  There is always a small window and for as talented as the offense is, I don’t know that we can.

Very washed and I’m not a hater 

Boston Scott has a career avg of 4.3 YPC. He's never averaged less than 4 YPC for a season. He's been averaging 4-5 carries per game before this year. He's got a career long rush of 56 yards and reception of 39 yards. The one kick he returned this year went for 38 yards. He's got juice and pop to his game. He brings a threat to break a play longer than 15 yards. For the life of me, I don't know why they aren't playing him on offense. The one game he played, he went 5 for 40.

Kenny Gainwell has one game this year when he's averaged over 4 YPC and he went 2 for 13 with a long of 12 against the Jets. His last 3 games he's averaged -2 yards, 2 yards and 2.4 yards per carry while getting 17 carries combined in those games. The grand total, 1.7 YPC in those games. 

Yet Sirianni is standing behind him. I just makes zero sense.

Soldier Field could be great…but they’ve done nothing to modernize or upkeep it in 20-30 years.  Look at Lambeau….then look at Soldier Field.  Greed and mismanagement at it’s finest.
