Vikings WR Jalen Reagor doesn’t deny that there is some revenge on his mind as he prepares to play at Philly
i assume he means "redemption" but fumbled his words.

I don't think he's a finished product yet 20 games into his career. But I've heard many pundits praise his decision making (much quicker) and how he basically saved the game for the Eagles, including Baldy.Your missing the point I was making. A lot of fans will say he only missed this or that guy that was open. However the definition of What NFL people and players deem open is pretty different to what fans actually think is open. My 2-3 plays was purely example. My point on the missed plays is it seems Hurts doesn't even trust his arm enough to make those plays or at least attempt them and that's concerning
He has 16 more games to go. As an Eagles fan, I really hope they don't have to draft a QB high next season and pin our hopes on another dart throw. It very well would set us back 2 to 3 years. Go back and look at the top 5 QBs from the 2021 draft - how many of them would you want today over Hurts?
So for the team and as a fan, I want him to succeed. There are signs of improvement.
Jonathan Gannon’s Wikipedia has been updated…
“Attempts to be an American football coach who is the defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles…”
“…During week 1 of the 2022 season Gannon let the Lions score 35 points in an attempt to lose his position as their defensive coordinator.”

I wouldn't say great. It just agrees with your repeated and still unconfirmed biases against him.Great break down of what I was talking about with Hurts and his instinct to take off. On this play he has a blitz and fails to pick up his hot read a slanting AJ Brown on everyone else clearing out. Hurts only gets to the 19 where Brown is already there with ample blockers downfield and green grass. Given the space he might have picked up the 1st down and a lot more. Eagles went three and out on this possession.

c'mon man you are better from this. this is clickbait. No one is denying Hurts doesn't have some things he can work on (including Hurts himself), but to expect any QB, including Mahones on Thursday night, to have a few plays they could have done better at is crazy.Great break down of what I was talking about with Hurts and his instinct to take off.

Hurts was better in this game than he was in a lot of games last year, and every single analyst who reviewed the All-22 had to admit this no matter their bias against Hurts. it was week 1 as well. I think most agree you can't expect Hurts to run 14 times a game every week, but we will see how he adjusts if the defense can take that away from him. for now that is how the Eagles won last Sunday

Go watch the QB Class link posted above. The problem with not reading the hot route was that there were a bunch of plays where there either wasn't a hot route, or the scheme took so long to develop that the hot routes weren't available when pressure showed up.c'mon man you are better from this. this is clickbait.

My point is he doesn't make the hot read. His instinct is to still run with the ball. Hurts doesn't seem to trust his arm in tighter windows that is considered still open in the NFL. Tampa Bay's defense and coaches were laughing at him last year because he had no clue what to do if his guy isn't wide open and he still has poor timing on his throws. That is not a great sign for any guy entering his 3rd year in the NFL. Only 1 throw over 15 Yards and that was the deep ball to Brown which might be his best throw in live game action In his career. The problem is consistency. Was he better yesterday then last year? Sure but it's 1 game.

We all know how you feel about Hurts, but the DET game wasn't a good example of those problems. Hurts actually showed a lot of development and made good decisions with the ball. You may end up being right about Hurts, but it's way too early to close the book on him, yet.

I mean that’s a sample size of 1. How can you put any debate to rest based on a single game?After the Colts/Jags game, we can finally put the Doug P vs Frank Reich debate to rest.

Wait what does Wentz have to do with anything?After the Colts/Jags game, we can finally put the Doug P vs Frank Reich debate to rest.
Everyone wanting to blame Wentz and he's not there this time. Colts biggest issues are an owner who thinks he's Jerruah Jones and gets too involved and has a drug problem. Reich and Ballard will be let go before the season ends or shortly after. Wentz never had a chance in Indy last year as Jim Isray the owner never wanted him to begin with. I've heard he's a hard owner to work for. Josh McDaniels had 2nd thoughts after hearing from friends who worked in that org which is why he pulled out of the job. Isray went and told his team to trade for a QB who's on his last legs may not even last the season in Matt Ryan.
This is the same owner who had Peyton Manning for over and decade and could only mustard 1 SB? Put Peyton on NE and he beats the Giants twice plus has the other SB wins. I don't think Brady ends up winning as many SBs if the roles were reversed. Isray is a major problem in Indy

I really doubt that the biggest issue for the Colts after scoring zero points against the Jags is the owner.

Was thinking the same thing watching that game yesterday. DET is much better than most people expected.Last week's win over Detroit looks just a little bit better this morning. They're going to win some games this year.
I tend to agree, but one thing to keep in mind is that even though MIN only gave up 7 points to GB, the Packers were ridiculously efficient on offense (per Warren Sharp) and had a bunch of drives end in the red zone on either downs or turnovers. So I think that the Eagles can definitely be effective on offense, which makes me fairly confident.Assuming Gannon's gonna Gannon, I don't know how anyone thinks they have much of a chance unless they win in a shootout. Cousins is just good enough to pick apart this weak, gutless scheme. I have more faith in Hurts keeping pace at this point than I do in the defense slowing any semi-competent QB down. Hope he can prove me wrong, but we haven't seen it yet.
Have you heard about Micah Parsons though? That is ALL we are going to hear from them all year. They like to switch up their periodic mottos from "Anyone can run behind this line" to "Dak is better than Wentz" to "Yeah but cutting Amari saved us $20M we needed" now its "The team might suck, but Micah Parsons is THE BEST defensive player in the NFL"Cowboys demise a bit premature.
Congrats on the baby!As for our game tonight, I feel pretty good about it, but also nervous (maybe that is a little of my wife due in literally a week from today) about the pass rush or lack of pressure. I feel if its a copy of last game we are so toast. Jefferson will get his, I feel, no matter what. He's just that good. If we can shut down Cook, I feel great about a W.
Pretty sure I picked this as an L, so its gonna be a tough sled and really if you look at the schedule, are really only tough opponent for a while. Unless you think "Ders Squad is for real.
We don’t know what the performance qualifiers are to turn the 5th rounder from MIN into a 4th, but I feel Ike 2 TDs might just do it. If we’re losing big at some point, let him score on every punt!Vikings 28

You know that NFL teams can protect players on the practice squad, right?Have you heard about Micah Parsons though? That is ALL we are going to hear from them all year.

Just bc Bengals suck this year (Super Bowl loss hangover story seems to have not been spoken of for Mr. Burrow at all, strange, but OK) doesn't mean the Cowboys do not haha. We are in a QB-driven league where teams are ALWAYS mining for talent at that position b/c its so important. And also, the Cowboys actually cut this guy, without fear on the final 53 roster, of him being scooped up by a single team, so they could sign him off the practice squad for cheap. This ain't Cooper Foles at QB...
The big question is, Who does Djax cheer for next week in the Hurts vs Wentz battle?Wentz was literally the scape goat last year when the game ended. I was basically saying I think Indy has major problems and Wentz was very far down that list of issues they have. He wasn't there this time to blame so who gets it this time? The owner is too involved with what he wants. He's the one who wanted Matt Ryan not Reich and Ballard.
You sound like my buddy who HATES Hurts but loves Wentz...Wait what does Wentz have to do with anything?After the Colts/Jags game, we can finally put the Doug P vs Frank Reich debate to rest.

Detroit is definitely a much improved team this year. There were a few people calling it before the season started and some even took great flyers on them winning the division. Stranger things have happened, that's for sure.Last week's win over Detroit looks just a little bit better this morning. They're going to win some games this year.
A co-worker buddy of mine was from Michigan and a Detroit sports fan. He passed away last year so in his honor I'm going to have a little soft spot for the Lions this year. Plus its always nice to see teams reverse their bad fortunes.Detroit is definitely a much improved team this year.

I do, I was not aware he was protected, so I appreciate the check here. With that said, my overall take remains the same: Jerry doesn't invest much/at all in the backup QB position and I do not expect them to win many games with Cooper Rush as their starter. Nice win against the Bengals though for sure, the defense definitely isn't quitting yet.You know that NFL teams can protect players on the practice squad, right?Have you heard about Micah Parsons though?

He still had to be cut and subject to waivers to get to the PS to begin with, where 31 other teams didn't think he was worth grabbing.I do, I was not aware he was protected, so I appreciate the check here.
