You quoted a post where I was literally asking you what the factual observations were beyond the ones I was seeing.  What factual observations did he make?  You have the reading comprehension of a 5 year old as this post goes to show as well as your one last night.

His factual statements were (1) it’s a team sport and (2) no single player can do it alone.

specifically he said

"The team is 20-1 in the last 21 games that he started.    Teams have W-L records, not QBs... no matter what the media wants you to believe.  TEAMS win, and TEAMS lose.  Players, at all positions, contribute to those Ws and Ls.”

Does anyone have pressures for each player on hand? The D-line is playing great, but our DE's outside of Sweat seem almost non-existent 

Reddick - 3 games, 0 sacks, 1 tackle, 0 TFL, 1 QB hit

Graham - 3 games, 0 sacks, 3 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 QB hit

Barnett - 3 games, 0 sacks, 2 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 QB hit

 

Reddick with the thumb makes sense for a slow start, but the other two aren't even noticeable during games. This isn't a complaint, just an observation. Heading into the season I thought replacing Hargrave and pressure up the middle would be the biggest obstacle but that's clearly not the case 3 games in. I would expect the DE's to be making more plays with Carter, Davis and Cox being so disruptive. 

I have noticed that QBs tend to escape upfield rather than to the outside against us.  If the QB can avoid the interior pressure by moving upfield it's hard for the DE to end up with a sack.

Eisen is a hack anymore, much like most on air personalities. They can cry all the want but the broken record here is that other teams try and fail. The Eagles don't. 

Frankly, I couldn’t give a rat’s ass what any of the media sports opinion mongers say.  As a fan (not just an Eagles fan), I think the play is great.  It encourages trying for it on fourth down and because there is an element of risk (think Chargers) adds excitement to the game.  I would hate for the NFL to outlaw it.

That Miami speed is special.  Frankly, I think Garrett is outplaying Bosa, who has benefitted against lesser OTs.

Disagree about Eisen.  I like him a lot compared to most others.  I might not 100% agree with him on this topic, but I can also see myself not liking this if I was on the other side of the fence.

Yup in 1999. The other was Dana Stubblefield in 1997 which I would never have remembered. Guy is in prison now.

I'm an Eisen fan. He has a very good personality about him. He's very likeable. His biggest issue is that he almost never criticizes anyone. Or his criticism is couched in such a way as to not sound too negative.

I expect him to get comfortable and have this offense clicking on all cylinders by the Miami game

Playcalling hasn't been ideal, but the blitz recognition/pick up has been outstanding.  Hurts is seeing things slowly right now, hopefully the rust comes off soon and we seeing the actual game plan work.

I'm not sure we should be highlighting push/shove part.  More than half the time Hurts is getting the necessary yardage before he is even touched from behind. 

It would be a disservice to Hurts and the OL to exclude their most critical roles from the play name.

He wants to make everything about Hurts.  That's his prerogative.  It is, however, highly disingenuous.  We've heard for two years now about how deep the Eagles' roster is... how great a job Howie has done building a very deep roster... how great the OL and DL are... but then he wants to make it all about Hurts.  That's fine, but its not reality.  Hurts is a big cog in the machine, but the other cogs are very important.   The team's win-loss record with and without Lane Johnson is a stark contrast too.  I shutter to think what this OL would be without Kelce.  Jurgens looks to be a very talented player too, but there's nothing that a defensive front can throw at Kelce that he hasn't seen before.  He's a steadying influence out there for the entire group.  Hurts' ascension from 2021 to 2022 coincided with the addition of AJ Brown as well.  

The strength of the wolf is the pack, the strength of the pack is the wolf.
