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

[DJackson10]

good reddit thread from one of the dudes who fell yesterday at the game. comments are good where others who fell or know guys who fell have comments. Sounds like the WFT is pulling a WTF with all of their silly comments that they have fixed everyone and made sure all were fine:

https://www.reddit.com/r/eagles/comments/ruvnuf/i_almost_fell_onto_jalen_hurts_yesterday/

No surprise. Buddies of mine went down to FedEX Field for a soccer match the US Men played (Can't remember who) and a guy in their group fell down the steps before the match because some security idiot bumped into him trying to cowboy it up with someone who didn't have seats in the section. Guy broke his leg, wasn't even offered medical attention. Didn't make the news but I think an incident report was filed where they claimed they offered him medical attention. He wasn't. They literally called 911 to get a medic in the stadium to get to him. When the franchise refused to pay the medical bills my buddies friend threatened to sue and he had contact info and witness testimony from others who saw the incident. FedEX field and the team quickly switched gears and paid for everything. 

Awful awful organization and Snyder should have this team taken from him. Dan Snyder is making me think Jurrah Jones who's sleeps with his mistress and a bunch of ladies of the night look like a good guy. And now that I just said that I threw up in my mouth a bit

“Nick Sirianni says Davion Taylor is done for the season.”

Meant to post this earlier. I was hoping he’d be back for the playoffs and as much promise as him and Edwards have shown I’d still like us to add a LBer with one of the first 4 picks. 

 

[DJackson10]

I agree. This is one of those things that WIP will forget next season when they set expectations. Even though we have 9 wins/maybe 10 this doesn’t feel like a 9-10 win team. With all that being said if we add the right pieces next season we definitely could be right back in the playoffs

I literally said I thought this team would win 5-6 games but if we were to win more a lot of things would have to go our way. Turns out all we needed was our HC to figure out our QB can't air it out 50 Times a game, run the ball more and our defense a bit lucky with the schedule playing some very poor Offenses and QBs. 

Depending what we do in the offseason yes we could be back in the playoffs next year but I'm still in the prove to me this isn't gonna be a fluke stage. 

 

[Deamon]

Yeah, I’m sure at this stage he realizes he made an ### of himself. Who am I kidding? No he doesn’t. People like that just dig deeper. Hell eventually convince himself that I was “switching it up hahahaha troll” even though I :

1. Quoted career stats at LEAST 3-4 times. 

2. On that same list I have Tomlin (7-7-1), Payton (8-8), Harbaugh (8-8) and Carroll who is 6-10

Both career stats and those names are in my FIRST post. There’s times here when signals get crossed and points are missed but this is simple math. That’s before you get to the point that the one he went after wasn’t the 6-10 coach I added, but the one that JUST won a SB and is 12-4. 

The second ANY person sees those two bullets and doesn’t figure that someone is talking active coaches in their careers they’re idiots. Either the “smart guy” couldn’t figure out 2 plus 2 or the challenged guy couldn’t see that a 6-10 coach on a list may mean career. Who in their right mind thinks someone is pitching a 6-10 coach as coach of the year?! I don’t care which edge of the sword he grabs.

It’s clear as day. He raged out, made an ### of himself, and is now trying to convince himself he was right. 

**ETA**

This is my last post on the subject and I apologize in advance for the 10-20 replies he’ll have after it. Just tell him he was correct, that’s all he’s hoping for 

lol... your 'last post' was made about 7 times.

I never ever said "Reich is one of the 5 best all time coaches ever in the league"  It was CLEAR AS DAY that we were talking about CURRENTLY, he is one of the top 5 CURRENT coaches in the league.  And now you're blabbing on and on that you meant "oh I meant in their careers the whole time".  What does it matter how good a coach was 10 years ago when we're discussing who are the top 5 coaches in the league now? 

The fact that you keep bringing this up over and over shows you know you are wrong and trying to back pedal.  Then throwing a bunch of personal insults out there to make yourself feel better about screwing up your list.  But nice try BB, keep trolling.

All I said was Reich is one of the top 5 coaches in the league in my opinion (currently) and then you went off the rails about how coaches who had success 10 years ago are better.  Sheesh, get with the times.

 

[Deamon]

I honestly LOVE that we may be playing against TB.  No Fournette, no Godwin, no AB, hobbled Evans.  The drama surrounding Brown only hurts (though admittedly, probably not a ton).  We lost by 6 last time when they were at full strength and our defense was giving up an average of 33 point per game.  These are both much different team than they were in week 6.  

Either way, its freaking amazing that we are talking playoff scenarios in January.

Brady doesn't scare you though?  He's gonna want revenge for the Super Bowl and they still have Gronk.  I guess there's a chance though, they're definitely at their weakest we've seen them in the last two years.

 

[DJackson10]

So was Seth Joyner on the post game show.

When isn't Seth Joyner ripping someone?Hes never happy. I loved Seth as a player but since he's retired he has that whole "I played and am better then you and my opinion means something and yours don't" stink about him. I've heard from others he's difficult to work with, I have a friend who is one of the producers at NBC (Not high end guy) who says his coworkers complain about Seth constantly being difficult to work with. However he's controversial and NBC/Comcast wanted that with one of the personal for the pre and post show. 

I said this awhile back but you can't have a different opinion then him even on social media. Dude blocks anyone who disagrees with him. I was shocked he didn't block me after I called out Barkann's hypocrisy after the last game last year. He literally went all virtue signaling how the Eagles tanking wasn't great all and people should be embarrassed. I replied with a little clip of him doing Sixers analysis during the height of the tanking saying how great was the Sixers were doing tanking. All I tweeted was "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. At the height of the tank you praised the Sixers but without knowing if the (Eagle Emjoi) tanked you go guns blazing after them. Talk about being a hypocrite. Pot meet kettle" 

I literally had others tweet me since it was also directed at Seth saying oh be careful Seth might block you too. How I wasn't blocked by him I will never know. Seth Joyner Great player Seth the former player turned analysis grade a Dbag who talks down to anyone who didn't play like he did. Don't think I've ever heard this guy praise anyone. He's a "back when I played" former player. These are usually the worst because they don't look at things with an open mind. Shocked ESPN hasn't hired him because they got a lot of egos like that there. 

 

[SoBeDad]

Totally different team and Id trust Nick Foles with us in a shootout before I trust Jalen Hurts arm in a shootout. However I hate to agree with him but no matter who's at QB for TB we don't seem to win. 

Zach Wilson just had perhaps his best game as a pro without his 2 best WRs, with Braxton Berrios and some no name TEs leading the way.  Hurts should do more with Smith, Goedert, and a good run game.

 

[Deamon]

How does Reich have the 2nd highest odds for COY.  Their preseason over/under was 9 wins and they are 9-7 with 1 game to go.  The Eagles were at 6.5 wins and have the same record .

Not sure... this was before yesterday's games and like I mentioned, they will probably drop quite a bit after that loss to Vegas.  I think the award is clearly going to Lafleur or Taylor, but I think a lot of people around the league think Reich is an extremely smart coach. 

You're right though, the award is almost always handed down to someone who exceeds preseason win totals the most, and right now that looks like Taylor and Lafleur.... heck if we beat Dallas then we'll be up there too, but I doubt that happens.

Current odds today are:

1. Lafleur
2. Taylor
3. Vrabel

BIG DROP OFF

4. BB
5. Reich
6. Sirianni
7. Kliff

 

[DJackson10]

Has DJax explained how a guy he doesn't even view as a quarterback was able to make that 3rd and 14 completion to Greg Ward that broke Washtington yet?

Greg Ward always gets open. It was a busted play where Hurts didn't even see his first read. He said he couldn't hear the play come in either. With 3 Timeouts left he should've easily taken the TO instead of trying to play hero ball in the moment. It worked this time so no harm no foul but with 3 Time Outs left in that situation you don't cowboy it up and try to play hero. Call TO you had 3 of them on a big 3rd down. 

I'm glad it worked but just another teaching moment for a young QB to understand game situation there. He's not Brady/Rodgers/Mahomes etc and even then those guys are calling TO in that situation most times. We were pretty lucky to get whistled for the False Start on the play before that because that play was going to get blown up 

 

[Deamon]

Wow on the Covid news.  Don't even let any of them near the facility or the field this week.  I really hope Sirianni doesn't play the whole "we aren't good enough to be resting players" angle and actually sits them.

It's too bad a Cowboys win didn't eliminate the Giants.  Can you imagine the Giants fan base if us punting the last game of the season knocked them out again? lol

So unfortunate that they talk the laughing emoji away for perfect times like this.

 

[DJackson10]

what is great is really comparing the Hurt from the first 1-2 games of the season to now. really wish i could take the time and just dissect the film from each and make the concrete examples of how much he has improved. he has taken the feedback needed and that is the key to a QB who can be successful in the league. i also wonder if that is the big piece that Carson was missing

The issue with Wentz was that Press Taylor and guys like that were too friendly with him. Wentz needed a guy who gets in his face more. Cant remember who suggested it (Maybe was you or Bigboy) but it sounded like DeFillipo here was the bad cop to Reich's good cop with Carson. He had too many good cops blowing smoke up his ### telling him how good he was when Carson responds better to the bad cop and then the good cop telling him why the coach is yelling at him type thing. 

Now how true this is I don't know but based on who I've talked to or read this sounds like that was the case. There was no DeFillipo coach yelling at Carson about his bad mistakes. Taylor from everyone I talked too seems like a good coach with a very interesting mind set for offenses. One person I talked too said when they first met Press he reminded him of Sean McVay when he first came into the league. From my understanding Taylor's biggest issue was he wanted to be too friendly with players and couldn't separate coaching professionally from friendships.

lol... But yea you're "insulted" when people act like you don't really analyze players.  

 

[DJackson10]

I'm still not sold on Gannon, but it was the wrong day for this take. 

Jonathan Gannon Expanding HIs Packages

Now, the fact that he didn't do any of that until the second half is still a problem...

Theres a Johnson and Cox joke in here somewhere I just can't erect it at the moment 

 

[DJackson10]

Meant to post this earlier. I was hoping he’d be back for the playoffs and as much promise as him and Edwards have shown I’d still like us to add a LBer with one of the first 4 picks. 

That's upsetting I liked the Taylor pick when a lot didn't seem to like it. He was really starting to get involved too. 

 

[DJackson10]

Zach Wilson just had perhaps his best game as a pro without his 2 best WRs, with Braxton Berrios and some no name TEs leading the way.  Hurts should do more with Smith, Goedert, and a good run game.

Fun Fact the Eagles tried to move up for Zach Wilson in draft this year because they didn't trust Hurts at QB. When they couldn't thats why they traded back and traded with MIA. You basically just proved my point without realizing it. Hurts played against that same secondary and couldn't manage 200 yds. against them and only got to 115. Zach Wilson is a much more refine passer than Hurts. SO is Mac Jones. I'm not saying Hurts can't eventually but right now I wouldn't trust Hurts' arm at all if needed to be relied on. This is also why the Eagles took a hard stance of what they wanted to trade Wentz. They really didn't want to trade him and going in Lurie told him he wasn't guarantying he'd get what he wanted but the Eagles would try if a fair offer came to them. 

Rapapport says Eagles tried to trade up to #3 for Wilson but when they couldn't decided to trade back and acquire an extra first in 22 Draft

 

[The Noid]

Draft pick rooting guide for Week 18:

• Dolphins lose and Browns, Falcons, Broncos, Vikings win = Dolphins pick is #11
  
• Jaguars and Chargers win = Colts will have no better than #18
  

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 

 

[DJackson10]

lol... But yea you're "insulted" when people act like you don't really analyze players.  

I was more insulted as someone who knows the game and plays Madden as well. I don't play Madden for the arcade style and one of the reasons I don't play online is because of all the BS people do instead of trying to play a real game against you. Not everyone is a game nerd who bases their opinion of real life off a video game. That to me just told me that Hurts didn't want to take accountability for his mistake there. His response was no different than when Seth Joyner goes after people who don't agree with him because "they didn't play the game like he did."

Just because that play worked with Ward doesn't mean it was the right play. Glad it worked but what happens when the guy does it again and it doesn't work.

I was disappointed to see Gallup tear his ACL - he was one of my top hopes for this team in Free Agency.

It was Godwin for me. Thought he’d be a great asset here.

Sure he does, but that team is insanely depleted.  And I’ll take the most stationary qb with our d line any day of the week.  

 

[modogg]

i think it was the fantasy doctors, but they talked about how healing an ACL is so much more efficient and better now adays than it was even 5-7 years ago. good news is maybe they could get either on a cheaper deal and bring them on mid-season. My guess is Godwin won't bad as easy seeing how AB is no longer in Tampa, but Gallup seems like an easier pick-up with the loaded Cowboys and limited cap space they have.

i know Howie gets dumped on all the time, but one area he excels on i think is looking at other teams and their cap situation. could very well maneuver to knowing some will be getting into cap issues and take advantage.

i don't check crossing broad enough, but while looking at the other article from earlier today, i came across this article:

https://www.crossingbroad.com/2022/01/chris-simms-really-nailed-that-top-40-quarterback-list.html

i joke here, but did DJax write that article? i get Hurts isn't a top 5, maybe 10 QB right now, but not in the top 40 is just hilarious. the list is just bonkers, Darnold and Cam at 20 and 21?

i'm guessing it is clickbait and simply to draw eyes and attn to something (i mean nothing like brying a Philly sports guy to get eyes and attn to an article you write or something you are promoting). seeing how he buried Mac Jones at 30 behind Zac Wilson, i am guessing that was really the intention here, so kudos i guess a bit to Simms for finding away to draw attn to himeself

He backtracked on that and admitted he was wrong.

“Jalen Hurts has proven me wrong,” Simms said on NBC’s ProFootballTalk last week.

 "I didn’t think he was going to be able to run to the capacity that he’s been able to run. He’s a better runner than I gave him credit for, there’s no doubt,” Simms added. “And throwing … it’s good enough. Is it Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers? No, and it’s never gonna be. But if you formulate the right offense around him, man, it’s tough to beat him.”

He was getting destroyed on the whole list prior since he had put Mond on the list too. He had to backtrack Dude just writes clickbait

I mean let's not forget how bad Hurts was last year though. 52% completion is horrific. Justin Fields has been crap this year and still managed over 58%. This is why I'm optimistic and find the people that say "Jalen Hurts will never improve" to be dishonest trolls - he HAS improved, a LOT. Still has a long way to go no question, but he looks a lot better this year then he did last year. How on earth can someone say he will never get any better? That's just being a clown.

 

[DJackson10]

@Tim_McManus

2h

After spending most of the night at the hospital, one fan was diagnosed with a cervical strain and a head injury along with elbow and knee contusions, documents show.

How Dan Snyder still owns a football team is beyond me.

My Concern wasn't can he improve its can he do it have improvement year to year and be consistent with his passing where we don't have to worry about him. That is what concerns me the most. Also he's a one read QB and history is not on the side of One read QBs lasting long in the NFL. There is optimism but I'm looking at this more he has next year and I think thats it. 

 

[rockaction]

How Dan Snyder still owns a football team is beyond me. 

He's got incriminating information about very, very rich and powerful people. It's the only thing I can think of, frankly.

Simms was getting destroyed for these rankings when he first put them out. In the draft he had Kellen Mond ranked hire then other QBs including I believe Mac Jones. Lamar was barely a top 5 QB. He's maybe top 20 when he has a good day passing but you never know Which Lamar you are getting each game. Brady just at 10? Herbert outside the top 10? I'd have put Tua up higher over several of those guys. Anyone with a brain knew Watson wasn't playing this year so why rank him in there? Cam got cut in Camp, went back to Carolina where he proved he needs to retire immediately. Keenum? Did he even play this year? Winston was having a good year definitely better then top 25 and should've maybe been top 20 before the injury. 

The list is just terrible. Chris Simms wishes his reporting career came close to how good his NFL career was which isn't saying much. He only has a job because of his last name. 

 

[DJackson10]

Yeah similar to how Kraft got Goodell to destroy the tapes. Goodell knew Kraft helped get him in the commissioners seat and know dirty secretes about him. 

 

[The Noid]

theory: Teams can only call up 2 practice squad guys per game, but no limit on COVID replacements. If, say, a team were looking to rest as many players as possible, a bunch of them could report they were a close contact or were showing symptoms, go on the COVID list, and be in no hurry to try to test out or report they are symptom free before the next game. Then, you could call up the whole 16 member PS. If they were to later test positive at another point in the season/playoffs, there's no restriction to going on the COVID list again (see: Wentz, Carson.)

Dr. Chao seems to think it’s more than a coincidence, as well.

If we didn’t, you know Belichick would have anyway.

When I first heard all the Eagles had tested positive yesterday, I thought well that couldn't have come at a better time. Which led me to my next thought which was maybe them all testing positive at the same (most opportune) time wasn't an accident. Dr. Chao lends credence to that thought. 

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I feel like if Hurts was the starting QB for the Browns they’d be the 1 seed in the AFC.

And they still have time to get everyone a positive lol

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Here is a look at how teams have performed relative to their schedules average pts scored/allowed

Top right- Good offense/good defense
Top left- bad offense/good defense
Bottom right- good offense/bad defense
Bottom left- bad at everything

 

[Insein]

I feel like if Hurts was the starting QB for the Browns they’d be the 1 seed in the AFC. 

I disagree with that but I do say they'd have at least 2 more wins. 

 

[The Noid]

Yeah, with basically 2 weeks until the next game, they will be testing everyone every day (maybe even twice a day!) this week. 

 

[Terpman22]

Baker is so trash. Just gotta get that out there. Didn't Cleveland invest like a billion dollars in their line?

They have 6 losses by 6 or less points. Admittedly I didn’t watch the games to know if the scores were worse than the final. With that said, I watched Mayfield 2-3 times this year and he is just bad. I feel like with their RB’s, they have enough weapons for Hurts and their D, Hurts could have won 3-4 of those games which would have them at 10-11 wins.

Depends on the coaching too. Because they seem to want Baker to throw 35+ times a game. They might try the same with Hurts.

not to get too sidetracked into Baker and the Browns, and I'm no fan of Baker, but he's not as bad as he has looked last two seasons. Between the receiver injuries last year and his own shoulder injury this year, he's been battling the elements. also i would equate his coaching situation to Carson's, if they had a offensive mind who can better use Chubbs and Baker's strengths, that team would go a long way. But, Browns.

as a direct comparison, these two QB's have such a contrast in play style. I believe Baker will round out into a startable pocket passer while Hurts will be at a similar level as a startable running QB. where there is a difference is we may have seen Baker's best already, it doesn't seem we've seen Jalen's best yet.

It would be funny (and very fitting) if Hurts ends up being the greatest Eagles QB in team history. No one wanted him. No one gives him a shot. Most think he's reached his peak and can't go any higher. Everyone is still looking for his replacement. What if goes into the playoffs and goes on a run that propels us for the next 5-8 years. 

Would be fitting that the guy no one wanted would be the best option we ever got.

Really want to see the young guys play Saturday, since apparently Dallas is playing as if they need a win to get in.

Yea I don't want the "starters" to sit, at least the young ones.  But Cox, Slay, McLeod, Kelce.... the older vets can sit one out.

Eh, see no need to get Devonta Smith out there, Landon Dickerson, or really any key guy on either line, but what a fun debate to have! Gonna be vanilla no matter what and if Dallas truly is playing to Win Win, might be a backfire of them playing all their starters potentially the way injuries happen/pile up at the end of a season. 

We would absolutely be devastated if we go into the playoffs and are missing a key guy like Devonta b/c we played him in a meaningless game. Personal opinion of course...

Also nice we get to play Saturday and an extra day of rest for anyone that does play (we have to play SOME starters right???)
