Stupid playcalling again from 1st and goal

The game is likely over but it’s Philly and we all have seen this before.

So here’s the thing… Most are agreed that Johnson isn’t doing a good job with the play calling. So what do they do? Obviously you don’t make a change right now but how long do you give it? And if it isn’t Johnson then who? Sirianni didn’t do a great job with it either and recognised that.

Typical Eagles gotta do things the hard way.

Absolutely. Dumbest play call of the season so far. 

AJ wanted more targets. He's getting them. But also has 2 drops that should've been TDs.

If you're gonna complain, better deliver. 

Up 17 they show the fake variant of their most successful play for the first time. Jesus. Swift up the middle. QB sneak. That’s all.

What about the missed reads, failing to scan the field and getting scared in the pocket for the last three weeks?

Not making excuses for any of that I just think people are panicking for no good reason right now....new coordinator and play calling should also be factored in there....if by the middle of the season all of that continues THEN I would worry.....and will come right back here and eat crow

Really not impressed with the playcalling. Hopefully Johnson learns / grows in a good way.

Dealing with car issues all night barely got to see a majority of this game kind half watching but looks like we should have put up 74 tonight because F that nerd in Miami. 

If Hurts was just competent today it would have been 35 to 3 by now. Just annoying.

Alright Defense, quick 3 and out.  Offense, Just run the ball, Milk clock and get out of here.

He’ll get another year unless they make a deep playoff run again. Then the coordinators will get poached again lol

And get me to bed by 3am!

F u Aikman. That made 100% sense. Just shows other teams we have wrinkles. Will make our normal play that much easier if they have to worry about wrinkles.

It's week 3 they aren't firing or replacing Johnson this year. 

I'm down 5 points with swift as my running back.  I could use a TD from him.  darn-it

I hope you are right. I’m concerned but I’m not panicking. I’ve seen signs that are not good but I also am sure Hurts will grind.

Even a "bad” Hurts led the Eagles to the playoffs. His teams find ways to win games. There were some bad stuff that happened in this one. Some good stuff too. The defense also looks a lot better than we thought they would. No need to panic.

Definitely was. They’ve had a few questionable calls in this game for sure.

That was swift on the first one

Was it?? I could have sworn it was Smitty.....ok thanks for the correction on that

And hey the NFL changes quickly to be fair. Hurts could light it up next week and suddenly it looks like Johnson has got it together.

Play calling isn't that bad. Siri needs to work with him to prepare & they need to be better. 

But the execution also needs to be better. Hurts especially.

Johnson isn’t going anywhere. But his learning curve isn’t helping Jalen regardless of how much they know each other. This should be sorted out over time hopefully.

I'm on the fire Brian Johnson train, this guy clearly does have a Fing clue to what he's doing 

Been there since week 1
