2021 Philadelphia Eagles - Queued up a playlist of our greatest zits throughout the season for final game (1 Viewer)

[The Noid]

Anyone else concerned that despite it being backups, our defenses still kind of looked the way it always does? Little pressure and QB hitting multiple targets for big gains. 

You have to hope that in a meaningless game, with an entire defense of backups and PS guys, they were running simple and vanilla, deliberately.

After last nights game I like our chances better in the playoffs other than Dallas. Elliot looks like he has breathing issues. He was always gasping for air after a run. He tapped out often. 

It's hard to gauge our defense out there. Looked like when we were in single high safety Dallas would pass but when we drop 2 safeties Dallas ran the ball. We were vanilla on defense and Dallas just took what we gave them. 

On the bright side we are deep on the o-line. I really like how Minshew played. If Reagor and JJaw can't be relied on Minshew only had maybe 1 or 2 options to throw to only any given play. JJaw singlehandedly killed that drive with his 2X OPI's.

Huntley was fun to watch. Reminded me of a younger Boston Scott.

Of course I wanted to chance to win the swag but now that it's over I'm glad we rested. I think getting a full game in for some of our backups will pay dividends going forward.

Great thread title in here

 Seems like you guys could say the same about Greg Ward Jr and Anghalorgaha or whatever his name was a year or two ago. 

Ward isn’t anything really at all and Agholor is still playing I think. I can’t imagine that JJAW has many more years left at this level and I’d say the same about Reagor if he were a 3rd round pick. He played so much faster in college and looks ordinary at this level. Quez was a speed guy in college and it’s translated. 

JJaw isnt on this team next year, right?

 No shot he’s back. 

Anyone else concerned that despite it being backups, our defenses still kind of looked the way it always does? Little pressure and QB hitting multiple targets for big gains. 

Not at all. I just have seen the same handful of play calls 10+ times yesterday on both sides of the ball. 

 

[styleride85]

When will they announce the playoff schedule?

 

[Insein]

A lot in play today. So I would think after the 4pm games for the NFC.

Now 'new' concerns from this game. My main concern is that we are weak at DL, but that isn't anything new. Getting Davion back next year will help, as he looked promising...having Davion and Edwards as our starting LB's next year should be fine. We need some young talent at DE and DB desperately. 
This year isnt a finished product, we knew we needed to retool at many spots. Making the playoffs in a rebuilding year after a 4 win season - I am happy with. but man do we need a vet at the #2 WR spot.

Nice.  Thought they might wait until after the night game but I'm anxious to see when we play.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I’m wondering if we’re locked into a Saturday slot since we played yesterday?

 

[Bigboy10182000]

And let’s go jags!!

 

[styleride85]

I’m wondering if we’re locked into a Saturday slot since we played yesterday?

Don't think that will matter.  Chiefs also played Saturday, so I doubt it's automatic that both of those two games are the 2 Saturday games.  Would be nice though.

@MikeGarafolo

Further tests to come on #Eagles TE Tyree Jackson’s knee but the early belief is he didn’t suffer an ACL injury, source says. MRI to come tomorrow.

Looks he did tear it.  That sucks, had hopes he would develop into a weapon.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

1. Absolutely great and everyone should be happy with the turnaround. We can still temper expectations for next year while enjoying this year.

2. I’m beginning to lean more toward drafting another WR unless the FA one is cheap. Looking back over the last few years the amount of money combined with the low production doesn’t add up. Also, if this is the offense we’re going to stick with I think we’d have enough with Smith, Watkins and Goedert. 

 

[need2know]

Carson Wentz playing terrible in a must win game.

 

[styleride85]

Indy missing playoffs would be so amazing.  If they lose to Jax, what would we need for them to miss?

With these middle first round picks we will be in a prime spot for one of the top 3 wr.   Williams or burkes would be nice.  Let's keep the bama pipeline going with Williams. 

But we really need dB and line over a wr......decisions decisions 

 

[styleride85]

Wentz is choking so bad.  Has a 26 rating.  Yikes.

We should have 4 picks pretty early too. It comes down mainly to just us drafting well but I wouldn’t be mad at another WR early over giving someone a deal like Samuals or Golladay got. 

Wentz is choking so bad.  Has a 26 rating.  Yikes.  

As much as I want to see him and them in the playoffs I’ll take the better pick first.

I think losing might do it, but not sure. 

edit: nope, Steelers loss, a Chargers loss and a Dolphins win would get them in even with a loss.

 

[The Noid]

With the loss last night, we clinched "highest possible draft pick of the playoff teams", should we lose in the first round (19th.) So with the MIA pick likely in the 12-15 range, we have the silver lining of a second top-19 pick, if we go one and done. 

Welp, we may have 3 in the top 19 with the Colts messing the bed so far!

 

[Terpman22]

Wentz has a -2 Clutch Rating in Madden after this performance. 

 

[need2know]

Guess frank Reichs great coaching just couldn't break through today.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Over the years we have received two firsts and three seconds for a Wentz that can’t beat Jacksonville, Bradford, Kolb, Feeley and a washed-up McNabb.

 

[styleride85]

Guess frank Reichs great coaching just couldn't break through today.

I'd say this is on Carson.  Nothing wrong with the playcalling from what I've seen, the QB play has just been ATROCIOUS.

Howie would be so great if he just passed off his drafting but stayed on doing everything else.

His comment was a reference to a ridiculous argument about Reich in this thread a few days ago.

[Bigboy10182000]

If us getting into the playoffs rested solely on beating the worst team in football, you’d be sure that the HC gets a ton of the blame. For years and years 

 

[styleride85]

Ah yes.  well Reich is still good, but at least we know Carson is awful in pressure situations now and getting a 1st rounder for him was a steal.

 

[babydemon90]

I haven't watched the game so I don't know who to blame for the Colts performance there.  From other comments it sounds like Wentz is crapping the bed.

Yep horrific.

 

[styleride85]

We really don't want this Baltimore Pitt game to end in a tie!

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Me neither but given the situation, the blame is everywhere when you’re blown out by the worst team in football in a must win. 

 

[styleride85]

Pitt about to win this game and eliminate Indy from playoffs

 

[Maggot Brain]

Youngest daughter got me an Eagles jersey.....#11 Wentz???? :( .......I just told her thanks and didn't say anything.  Needless to say, she is NOT a football fan.  My true holiday present is the new grandkid on the way

I'm thinking I absolutely HAVE to wear this tomorrow when I go to the VA clinic for an appt.

 

[The Noid]

Another fun outcome of Jags winning (over Colts): the Raiders and Chargers would both get in with a tie. The SNF coin toss might just be the captains asking each other if they want to chop the pot 

Well, here we are! 

 

[styleride85]

Well, here we are! 

Can't see them allowing that.  Raiders are going to want to win so they can face Cinci instead of KC.  

 

[styleride85]

Indy losing was great, but Miami is going to win this game and that sucks.

 

[babydemon90]

So, assuming nothing crazy happens, Wentz and Jalen Hurts will have the same number of playoff starts after next week.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Me neither but given the situation, the blame is everywhere when you’re blown out by the worst team in football in a must win. 

I didn’t realize the Colts lost to back to back interim HC’s. Also they’re the first team in NFL history with more than 5 pro bowlers and not make the playoffs. They have 7 of them. 

Could you imagine if Wentz was still here and all this happened? That god the distraction is gone. 

 

[modogg]

Anyone else concerned that despite it being backups, our defenses still kind of looked the way it always does? Little pressure and QB hitting multiple targets for big gains. 

i think the game plan was as vanilla as it could be i case Eagles face Cowboys in playoffs. they also talked about how most of the secondary didn't any reds in practice so you could see them cover well at first, but with no communication any WR could break open

 

[modogg]

good call, Wentz jerseys are fun again

[styleride85]

Alright back to us.

WHEN the Rams beat SF this game, the Tampa game and the Arizona game are IRRELEVANT to our spot.  It all comes down to the Saints game right now:

Saints Win:
#6 PHI @ #3 TB

Saints Lose:
#7 PHI @ #2 LAR

 

[fred_1_15301]

It wasn’t just a loss.  It was a bad one (to the Jags)

 

[Insein]

Wow. The articles already calling for the Colts to move on. 

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/what-is-carson-wentzs-future-with-the-colts-examining-the-qbs-contract-after-sour-end-to-2021/

I was very wrong on Carson. He's done. 

 

[unckeyherb]

Come on Saints!!

Also, preference would be 

1. Saturday Night
   
2. Saturday 4pm
   
3. Sunday night
   
4. Sunday 4pm
   
5. Sunday 1pm
   
6. Monday Night
   

I want no part of the Monday night game and the Saturday games give us an extra day of rest compared to whoever we play.

 

[The Noid]

PIT win means they finish 2nd in the division and will be our 17th game opponent next year, in Philly.

Rams may not win

disagree. would much, much rather play this Rams team
