2023 Philadelphia Eagles - Complete waste of a season finally comes to an end. (9 Viewers)

[Cowboysfan8]

I mean, can I have an opinion on him as a fan of the game? Or does it have to be Cowboys related ?

Of course you can. But if you hate Nick for being a dbag, what are your thoughts on McCarthy shoving cameramen outta the way or cosplaying to be Vince Lombardi. I'd rather have a coach that just does words and gets under people's skin than a guy that dresses up in a costume and gets into physical stuff with guys just trying to do their job, like cameramen. We admit Nick is kind of a D*** and that is why we love him, b/c he does it while winning and it makes it fun. Sometimes he goes over the top though, and he's gotta walk the right line. But overally, I'm not sure any fanbase, I guess except a few would say "I Don't want a coach that has a 70% winning percentage b/c hes a dbag sometimes"

As the saying goes, winning cures.

I’ll tell you this. I’m a football fan. I’m fan enough to admit Jimmy Johnson was a **** as a HC.
He won, and I’m happy for the rings. But dude was a di ck. I won’t deny it like you do Sirriani

You do read the replies you quote, right? "I won’t deny it like you do Sirianni" - the guy you quoted literally agreed with that, no?

I quit reading as soon as he brought up McCarthy. Dallas has nothing to do with this conversation. It’s typical and tired

LOL. Its for consistency basis to check if you're a hypocrite. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you probably like Coach Prime, Like Mike McCarthy and hate Nick Sirianni.

No it isn’t. Every time I say anything about the eagles in the eagles thread Dallas gets brought up. It’s really weird tbh



I’m not a fan of coach prime. I really don’t have a problem with MM, but if it makes you feel better I don’t think any coach should push a reporter?

 

[The Noid]

BTW, I don't know exactly how this works, but if I was a team playing the eagles in the superbowl, I'd sign two sumo wrestlers to the squad and put them in the center of the line for the brotherly shove.

(I am not against it, but I think, by rule, the whole concept of "pushing someone from behind" should be outlawed. This includes when a runner is stopped and all of a sudden an O lineman comes flying in to push him forward)

Saw a stat yesterday that on the 44 tush pushes they have run in 2022/2023, 41 have been successful but 36 of those 41 were successful without any "push" from behind before the first-down or TD was already gained. Because of the timing and there's no motion by the "pushers", they usually don't even make contact with a tush until after the initial drive forward.

2 of the 5 with that push engagement prior weren't even meaningful or looked to have any impact on it succeeding. 3 were only successful because a push helped after getting stonewalled at the snap.

So, if it were illegal to "push from behind" it only would have taken away 3 conversions. The narrative on this play succeeding because of the push/shove on the ball carrier isn't reality. It's the timing, the leverage the OLine gets, and the power Hurts has in his legs.

I mean we are rivals. And your reputation here is what it is. You come into our team thread and crap on Eagles fans, fan behavior and posters in here. I always get you guys confused, but one of you is the "I just wanna talk Football guys" and then resort to that stuff. I don't care individually, but it is what it is. I try to be respectful when I jump into the Cowboys thread and keep it football 100%. Sometimes We are good. Glad you don't like coaches that push reporters lol. And good to know you are consistent, you don't like cocky guys. I'm on the opposite. I like the in your face types b/c they get people on tilt to do things they normally don't.

Philly is impressive but beatable, and I say this as a Dolphin fan. Hurts seems to be a turnover machine this year.

That being said, teams, basically need to keep them from third and short/medium bc there is no answer for the Brotherly shove that I can see.

In the AFC, I think Miami (healthy), the Bills, the Chiefs, and Jax can give them a run for their money (KC's D is very impressive so far this year).

In the NFC, San Fran (assuming Purdy is not in a slump now), Detroit (i'm sure campbell wants a go at them), and some surprise BS team (ironically, the Cowboys?) could give them some issues.

A bunch of the Hurts turnovers have been somewhat "fluky". But agree, they need to limit them. If they do, they'll be very hard to beat.

Honestly I think the TO thing is evening out from last year. We have flukes TOs where last year there were several games where he should’ve had at least 1 or 2 picked off and the guy just dropped it. We also had several bounces and calls go our way last year not getting this year and the team stayed relatively healthy unlike last year.

I still think when push comes to shove, Buffalo is better than Miami. Also, as much as it pains me to say it, I have the Cowboys ahead of the Seahawks.

I think he's just being respectful to the Cowboys fans always lurking in this thread to complain about any mention of their team.

It's interesting how much they care about what others think. All I see on social media for the most part is them complaining about media coverage. Very insecure fanbase.

Let’s not act like we haven’t done the samething now. I remember several in this group complaining about others saying the Eagles had a weak schedule last year which they were wrong about and people acted like they were saying something about their mothers

Yea I dont think anyone in here think Philly isnt beatable. Fortunately every team seems beatable, so being "pretty good" is a great recipe for success. Eagles schedule is still really hard however. If I had to predict a record I'd probably still say 11-6, 12-5 at best (WHICH TO BE CLEAR IS A GREAT RECORD).

 

[Bigboy10182000]

You do read the replies you quote, right? "I won’t deny it like you do Sirianni" - the guy you quoted literally agreed with that, no?

He’s here for one reason only and it’s to cause trouble. Always has been and it’s a shame that trolls still exist in 2023. And weird.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Then they let us get Kevin Byard.

Im gonna hold off on the parade for this like I did with Robert Quinn. By many accounts he’s lost a step and isn’t yet player he was just a couple years ago. Still should be an upgrade but I’m not expecting much at the moment.

I don't give a s*** about the media in all honesty. It's all hot takes and similar stuff to generate ratings, which is their job. Once you realize its entertainment and 100% opinions to generate ratings, a logical person would not take them seriously. BUT, with that said, that fanbase was going hard at literally anyone that talked bad about them in the media, Joy Taylor, Shady McCoy, etc.

On here, yeah, I do get perturbed when we had a great team and people, including the guy that runs this website were like "WELL YOU ARE REALLY NOT *THAT* GREAT ITS JUST EASY TEAMS YOU BEAT" or whining about the teams in the playoffs as if they didn't understand the benefits of the #1 seed.

But its all good. We got, going into this season, the hardest strength of schedule (based off last year's records which is a fallacy in and of itself, but different conversation), and the W's keep piling up just like they did last year. 25 consecutive weeks of having the best or tied for the best record in football isn't a fluke. And when you really look at it, "How do you beat the Eagles"

One of or a combination of these things:
No Jalen Hurts in the lineup
No Lane Johnson in the lineup
lose the turnover battle 0-4

That's it. That's the recipe to beating us.

 

[Wingnut]

Congrats on being BY FAR the best team in the NFC.

Niners are pretenders. Not sure whats wrong but they're just not good all of a sudden.

You’re gonna break your ankles with the 180 that you’ve done after 2 games.

Temporary, buzz inspired, post-loss frustration. It's nothing new. I usually keep in in the game thread, but for some reason I chose to give yall fuel.

You're welcome.

 

[Terpman22]

Fair point. I can't go back in time and check the Quinn PFF grades at the time of the trade, but he had 1 sack in 7 games last year (edit* at time of trade) and could not have been highly regarded.

Now I don't think Byard is playing at an All Pro Level, but PFF right now has him as Safety #15, which, considering each team has 2 safeties, puts him in the top 25%. By all accounts, he is a very smart player, durable, never had great athletic measurables, so has always relied on his instincts and football IQ. He's a locker room leader.

And lets be real, outside of Jeffery Simmons, I'm not sure there are many, if any, other impact players on defenseon the Titans roster. He will come here, paired with another smart safety in Reed and will get to play behind the best defensive line, and arguably, the best overall position group in the entire league. He'll have to vet corners to play with who are still very solid guys as well. I expect him to make an immediate impact honestly and have very high hopes.

Also funny, the only safety tandem in the league from Middle Tennessee State University.

LFG!!!!!

Yeah, exactly. I’m not ready to crown Byard Defensive MVP, yet. But this is a guy that is a Swiss Army Knife: both Safety spots and Slot CB.

Last year, CJGJ had a huge impact on D. Byard is arguably better, but on the downswing, rather than the upswing in his career. Great move, hands down, especially for a good team that is starting to hit their stride Defensively and needed secondary help.

Oh, and there’s this!

Went in the Titans Reddit, they were not happy about losing this guy. Some of the greatest hits:

I really hope JRob sees these headlines and feels 150% responsible for not only the trade, not only the losses. But for the way the fans feel right now. Right at this exact moment. The same way we felt when AJ was traded. He robbed us of happiness and I forever hope this man has nothing to do with football ops again. No fan deserves to feel the way we do.

Are we the Eagles *****?

Why the **** are we trading the eagles.

Trade any other team, but stop giving the eagles titans players. Lmao, there's goes another AJ

 

[Snotbubbles]

I get the sense, the Titan fans view Byard the same way we viewed BDawk.

I feel this post. The last 3 games should be wins, so that gets us at 9. And we got 3 games against Dallas/Washington, which at min, should get us 2 more. So that is 11. Meaning we just need 2 more against Seattle/Buffalo/KC/SF to get to 13 which by all accounts, should be enough for the 1-seed.

I know I know a lot can happen, but we have been already winning games with a patchwork secondary, backup RG, Hurts not playing great, etc. Gotta feel we start finding our groove and really looking like the team to beat here shortly.

I know we have a "gauntlet" of tough games, but I don't see us losing them all which is pretty much what it would take to get to 11-6. I said 13-4 before the season started, but I think we could get to 14 wins with how absolutely mediocre the rest of the NFL has been this year.

Which backs up exactly what I (and others) have been saying for a while now, in the Tush Push thread, this one and in multiple in-game threads. Jalen gets it most of the time, but when he needs the help he gets it-hence the damn-near-unstoppable-ness.

I have no doubt, however, that they will have to convert a TD for the win on fourth down from the 1 with 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl only to be stuffed. Like, I'd throw $1k on that specifically happening. It would be the most Philadelphia thing ever. And schadenfreude would simply ooze from the masses for months.

Look, the most automatic player was brady on the QB sneak without anyone grabbing his butt. I have no doubt that it would work regardless, but the "opportunity for injury" concern is all I care about in this discussion.

To that end, having any player from behind the play come up and push a ball carrier should (IMHO) be illegal. Again, I do not care abou tthe play in any other context. I am just saying If Brady didn't need anyone to touch his butt to get the first down, no one else should be able to.

What was Tom Brady's sneak conversion rate?


It's too funny how Tom Brady. was known as the king of the QB sneak. Had a 91.1% conversion rate and nobody cared.

To that end, having any player from behind the play come up and push a ball carrier should (IMHO) be illegal. Again, I do not care abou tthe play in any other context. I am just saying If Brady didn't need anyone to touch his butt to get the first down, no one else should be able to.

So, are you just mad you didn’t get to touch Brady’s butt? And now noone should be touching butts? That’s how it reads.

BTW, I don't know exactly how this works, but if I was a team playing the eagles in the superbowl, I'd sign two sumo wrestlers to the squad and put them in the center of the line for the brotherly shove.

(I am not against it, but I think, by rule, the whole concept of "pushing someone from behind" should be outlawed. This includes when a runner is stopped and all of a sudden an O lineman comes flying in to push him forward)

Saw a stat yesterday that on the 44 tush pushes they have run in 2022/2023, 41 have been successful but 36 of those 41 were successful without any "push" from behind before the first-down or TD was already gained. Because of the timing and there's no motion by the "pushers", they usually don't even make contact with a tush until after the initial drive forward.

2 of the 5 with that push engagement prior weren't even meaningful or looked to have any impact on it succeeding. 3 were only successful because a push helped after getting stonewalled at the snap.

It's too funny how Tom Brady. was known as the king of the QB sneak. Had a 91.1% conversion rate and nobody cared.

looked this up last week and it's impressive. no other qb comes close as far as QB sneaks go. that offensive line was beasty as a group.

Keep hearing "injury risk" but where is the risk? Most injuries happen as a function of momentum and awkward angles. The pushers aren't at an awkward angle (and thus don't add much if anything to the risk compared to a traditional sneak) and the tush push has no space to build momentum. The injury risk is LOWER then on the average "football play"

Not really Eagles news, but I feel I should just throw this out here.

Micah Parsons has a podcast. Not sure how often it drops, but it seems very *strange* to me the way he breaks down teams and comments on roster moves in-season.

His most recent one might draw the ire of his fanbase as he has the Eagles #1 in his power rankings. He gave a lot of credit to the team for its success (I didn't watch the whole thing, but the clip I saw didn't mention Jalen Hurts fwiw). And he did his breakdown of the Eagles trade for Kevin Byard.

Just weird to me. I get it, its a new era, social media, guys trade jerseys and don't really want to KILL each other like maybe some of us grew watching the game, but still to me odd. To give credit and "flowers" to your division rival who just went to the Super Bowl and play in just 2 weeks would bug me if it were on the other end.

Could you imagine 20 years ago, Ray Lewis having a podcast giving credit and showing love to say, the Steelers? Just would never happen. Maybe guys are just built different these days, but it doesn't give me "dog mentality" vibes from Parsons. You'll never see Hurts on social media at all, let alone giving a free segment on how great the Cowboys, Giants or Commanders are.

I dunno...I see it a bit differently. It's a game.....say that agian...IT'S A GAME. And why is it wrong to respect your opponent? It shouldn't be wrong to recognize that they're pretty darn good, or even better then your own team. ITS A GAME.
Doesn't mean you don't wanna go out there and give them hell, do your absolute best to beat them. Doesn't mean you hafta love and respect every player on every team either. Some guys are crude/rude/whatever and don't deserve it. But sportsmanship should mean something. I'd be ok with an Eagle doing something similar.

One more time...It's a game

I feel ya. I never said it was "wrong" per se, just that it was strange. I'm sure there are other players that do this. The only one I watch is the Kelce Bros, and that's a unique sort of situation in my eyes. I'll repeat, nothing wrong with it at all. He is kind of a deity in Cowboys World, so no one will probably criticize him for it on the team, or maybe even in the fanbase.

BUT/HOWEVER, if an Eagles player were to do the opposite, you can bet for sure a large majority of the fanbase would have a problem with it.

Really my only point about it.

Yeah, the production value and delivery needs a little work. But good for him getting his brand out there. He's one of the young bright stars in the league.

The guy definitely loves football. What more could you ask for? He could be spending his time doing literally anything else and he wants to sit around and talk football. Those are the kind of guys you want on your team

And I’m sure he’s an Eagles fan inside anyway. I’m sure things like this were going on for years we just didn’t have social media to highlight them.

He seems chill and the type I can see just leaving the game to pursue other things at the drop of a dime.

Agree here. He seems like an overall good dude. Can't really hate on him like some Cowboys players of years' past.

 

[DJackson10]

Philly is impressive but beatable, and I say this as a Dolphin fan. Hurts seems to be a turnover machine this year.

That being said, teams, basically need to keep them from third and short/medium bc there is no answer for the Brotherly shove that I can see.

In the AFC, I think Miami (healthy), the Bills, the Chiefs, and Jax can give them a run for their money (KC's D is very impressive so far this year).

In the NFC, San Fran (assuming Purdy is not in a slump now), Detroit (i'm sure campbell wants a go at them), and some surprise BS team (ironically, the Cowboys?) could give them some issues.

I still think when push comes to shove, Buffalo is better than Miami. Also, as much as it pains me to say it, I have the Cowboys ahead of the Seahawks.

I think he's just being respectful to the Cowboys fans always lurking in this thread to complain about any mention of their team.

It's interesting how much they care about what others think. All I see on social media for the most part is them complaining about media coverage. Very insecure fanbase.

Let’s not act like we haven’t done the samething now. I remember several in this group complaining about others saying the Eagles had a weak schedule last year which they were wrong about and people acted like they were saying something about their mothers

I don't give a s*** about the media in all honesty. It's all hot takes and similar stuff to generate ratings, which is their job. Once you realize its entertainment and 100% opinions to generate ratings, a logical person would not take them seriously. BUT, with that said, that fanbase was going hard at literally anyone that talked bad about them in the media, Joy Taylor, Shady McCoy, etc.

On here, yeah, I do get perturbed when we had a great team and people, including the guy that runs this website were like "WELL YOU ARE REALLY NOT *THAT* GREAT ITS JUST EASY TEAMS YOU BEAT" or whining about the teams in the playoffs as if they didn't understand the benefits of the #1 seed.

But its all good. We got, going into this season, the hardest strength of schedule (based off last year's records which is a fallacy in and of itself, but different conversation), and the W's keep piling up just like they did last year. 25 consecutive weeks of having the best or tied for the best record in football isn't a fluke. And when you really look at it, "How do you beat the Eagles"

One of or a combination of these things:
No Jalen Hurts in the lineup
No Lane Johnson in the lineup
lose the turnover battle 0-4

That's it. That's the recipe to beating us.

Im simple saying a lot here are accusing posters of the samething they do. Constantly needing to comment because someone doesn’t like our QB sneak, says we play a weak schedule etc. you look like a hypocrite when you do that. All I’m saying is people who live in glass houses shouodnt throw stones

 

[DJackson10]

Then they let us get Kevin Byard.

Im gonna hold off on the parade for this like I did with Robert Quinn. By many accounts he’s lost a step and isn’t yet player he was just a couple years ago. Still should be an upgrade but I’m not expecting much at the moment.

Went in the Titans Reddit, they were not happy about losing this guy. Some of the greatest hits:

I really hope JRob sees these headlines and feels 150% responsible for not only the trade, not only the losses. But for the way the fans feel right now. Right at this exact moment. The same way we felt when AJ was traded. He robbed us of happiness and I forever hope this man has nothing to do with football ops again. No fan deserves to feel the way we do.

Are we the Eagles *****?

Why the **** are we trading the eagles.

Trade any other team, but stop giving the eagles titans players. Lmao, there's goes another AJ

They want happiness but don’t understand to be happy the team needs to trade their best assets. They are going nowhere fast. I get the nonstalagia hell Phillies fans wanted to keep the 08 team together for their entire career even when it was apparent it’s time for a rebuild.

That is the plan, he should be back for the Cowboys game. But we have a bye after that, so there is a chance they just ride it out until after the bye.

Yeah. Thought that the first game. They have an entire starting lineup of Defensive lineman that were all 1st round picks. Young gave Mailata a lot of trouble and I guess we need Nakobe to be a spy on Howell this week haha. I'm thinking a victory, but not sure its a blowout. They always seem to play us tough and I'm hedging this time a little.

Also, its Father Brings Your Son To Work week as well, I wonder what kind of lessons AJ Brown will teach his son Emmanuel Forbes this week....

My point is you are here complaining about others complaining in here about when something is mention. People should throw stones who live in glass houses. If you had said everyone needs to react better then fine but you didn’t you are singling out in individuals of other FA bases when ours does the same is my point. It looks hypocritical and you aren’t going to be taken seriously.

Personally I think most of this board acts like a bunch of middle school cliques a lot and there’s a lot of people who need to grow up. I just hope they don’t act the same way here as they do in their personal lives.

Was hasn’t been easy for awhile. The way our offense is going if we can’t cut down on TOs or rz issues going to be much closer then many think

Philly is impressive but beatable, and I say this as a Dolphin fan. Hurts seems to be a turnover machine this year.

That being said, teams, basically need to keep them from third and short/medium bc there is no answer for the Brotherly shove that I can see.

In the AFC, I think Miami (healthy), the Bills, the Chiefs, and Jax can give them a run for their money (KC's D is very impressive so far this year).

In the NFC, San Fran (assuming Purdy is not in a slump now), Detroit (i'm sure campbell wants a go at them), and some surprise BS team (ironically, the Cowboys?) could give them some issues.

Chiefs
Ravens
Dolphins
Jags

Top 4 NFC
Eagles
49ers
Lions
Seahawks

I still think when push comes to shove, Buffalo is better than Miami. Also, as much as it pains me to say it, I have the Cowboys ahead of the Seahawks.

I think he's just being respectful to the Cowboys fans always lurking in this thread to complain about any mention of their team.

It's interesting how much they care about what others think. All I see on social media for the most part is them complaining about media coverage. Very insecure fanbase.

Let’s not act like we haven’t done the samething now. I remember several in this group complaining about others saying the Eagles had a weak schedule last year which they were wrong about and people acted like they were saying something about their mothers

I don't give a s*** about the media in all honesty. It's all hot takes and similar stuff to generate ratings, which is their job. Once you realize its entertainment and 100% opinions to generate ratings, a logical person would not take them seriously. BUT, with that said, that fanbase was going hard at literally anyone that talked bad about them in the media, Joy Taylor, Shady McCoy, etc.

On here, yeah, I do get perturbed when we had a great team and people, including the guy that runs this website were like "WELL YOU ARE REALLY NOT *THAT* GREAT ITS JUST EASY TEAMS YOU BEAT" or whining about the teams in the playoffs as if they didn't understand the benefits of the #1 seed.

But its all good. We got, going into this season, the hardest strength of schedule (based off last year's records which is a fallacy in and of itself, but different conversation), and the W's keep piling up just like they did last year. 25 consecutive weeks of having the best or tied for the best record in football isn't a fluke. And when you really look at it, "How do you beat the Eagles"

One of or a combination of these things:
No Jalen Hurts in the lineup
No Lane Johnson in the lineup
lose the turnover battle 0-4

That's it. That's the recipe to beating us.

My point is you are here complaining about others complaining in here about when something is mention. People should throw stones who live in glass houses. If you had said everyone needs to react better then fine but you didn’t you are singling out in individuals of other FA bases when ours does the same is my point. It looks hypocritical and you aren’t going to be taken seriously.

Personally I think most of this board acts like a bunch of middle school cliques a lot and there’s a lot of people who need to grow up. I just hope they don’t act the same way here as they do in their personal lives.

The weight of the irony in this post is too much to bear.
