  • 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

Brown ran straight into him.  If that went against us we’d be furious.

Those went against us all week last week.

He dragged AJ to the ground to save the TD. How do you not think that was PI?

Dickerson deserves credit too. 

A lot of it. He moves multiple dudes a lot of these plays

13/14 on the year 

That drive is exactly why I do not overly criticize AJ. Dude is a beast. I remember the days of Torrance Small, Pinkston, Thrash, Na, Freddie F Face. Very lucky to have him 

Hurts clearly got himself right.  

Hurts has looked fantastic for the most part today

Yup….I think our best players give us the best chance.

That’s how you call plays in high leverage situations.

Not overthinking it and a freaking screen to Watkins lol

It was probably an RPO to be fair. Point stands though. Don’t have Watkins be the guy who can catch the ball there.

And that's why it'll get banned.

That drive ending in 7 not in 3 might be the difference in this game.   This feels like a last possession wins... and we have the see-saw situation in our favor with a 4 point lead to start with.

Eagles have gone TD, Punt, FG, TD on 4 drives. 17 points on 4 drives. That's an excellent EPA. 

2 stops by the defense wins it in the 2nd half.

Great half from Hurts and the offense.  
 

This just might be a bad defense.

I don’t even think it’s that… It’s bad in coverage. Some of that can be fixed with coaching, but we probably need another player there..  I bet if you looked up the quarterback’s release time after snap I would wager that QB’s are getting rid of the ball faster when playing us.  I would bet that we are top 3 in that category… If there is such a stat.  Our dline is still feared and teams are trying to adjust.  So we have to

I remember the days of bubbles to Watkins. 

So far through 4.5 games feel like the eagles need to address secondary early in the draft. Got 3 picks in the top 64. I’d use two on corners. I don’t think jobe, Ricks are gonna be anything more than just backups. And who knows with ringo. Tbh if broncos made surtain available I’d pay a high price to get him. Be set at one corner spot for nearly a decade

3 but yes agreed

Honestly, I don’t care if they outlaw the tush push. We’ll just sneak it instead. It won’t matter.

It’s still a passing league.  If you’re bad in coverage, you’re bad.  

Wow… I was busy and did not pay attention too much to the early games. So much for the record the Cowboys held giving Bill Belichick his worst loss ever. That lasted just seven days.  😂

Just a honestly question, when was the last time quez watkins had a positive play for the eagles? Feels like it was before that fumble vs. the commanders. The guy has become basically John hightower

I’d give Denver a serious call about Surtain.  Right now.

Every team is capable of doing it. If we’re going to start outlawing plays that one team masters that’s going to be a slippery slope.

That seems like a tall order.   A sack would go a long way!

True…and I would call it bad there.  At least against the top quarterbacks we will be.  Which is who they’d be facing in the playoffs.

He can play inside and outside. So can play him on the outside then move him inside when need too. I’d give up a high pick for him. He’s young and a stud. 

I’m not gonna pretend that the secondary isn’t struggling, but they are not as bad as they’ve been made to look lately.

Also, McVay, Stafford, Kupp, etc are a damn difficult offense to deal with when they’re on….and they’ve been on this year.
