2023 Philadelphia Eagles - Complete waste of a season finally comes to an end. (5 Viewers)

Reverse psychology on a messageboard so they can bring it up later when the game is closer than expected. It’s pathetic lol
The Cult is all on board this week with not getting to hyped up b/c they have the subconscious telling them how often they have been let down over and over. They realize without a win this week its gonna be tough sledding for the rest of the season and since they say "We haven't beaten a real team yet" it deflates that argument to "Are we really real ourselves"

Cue in Djax telling me I'm crying for the Chef's kiss
 
Damn! I do NOT like the thought of Chase Young on the 49ers. 😡
They lost 3 straight and can’t get anywhere near the QB and struggle to get a stop. Their issues are much bigger than this move right now.
I hear you. I’m not saying “URLACKERZZZ!!11 SuPeRbOwL!!!! for them” but Young is definitely an upgrade over Drake Jackson.

He's actually gonna replace Clelin Ferrell who's had the most snaps at DE on that side. Jackson and Randy Gregory are the other 2 in the rotation.

Oh, well, he’s no Clelin Ferrell. He probably won’t see the field.

Maybe he can placekick?
 
I’m bummed we didn’t make another move before the deadline- at least to get rid of Barnett 😂

I wanted secondary help, but honestly, when we get Roby back, we should be in good shape. Bradberry and Slay are not the guys they used to be- but they’re pretty ok. Bradberry needs to untuck his head from his 5th point of contact, though.

Ghost and Byard aren’t BDawk or even Jenkins, but they’re pretty solid, too.

We need continuity and to gel in the secondary. Guys like Ricks and Brown have raw talent- they need to get some seasoning from the old guys. A lot if what went wrong agains WAS was poor communication and guys not carrying their man over to the next guy, or WRs getting through without being re-routed. All fixable.

I feel all of this. We just need to get constant and consistent pressure from our DL. We have some horses there. Would like to see BG appear this year, but maybe last year was his last hurrah of sorts and he truly is cooked. Overally, still a pretty deep and talented team for the most part that can kill you in a lot of ways, so long as we don't kill ourselves with turnovers.

I think this week will be the last week we might not have Roby, expecting/hoping the bye gets some of our banged up guys some rest and recovery ready for the 2nd half of the season.
 
Eagles tried making a few trades today but told guys they were looking at price was too steep for what they were willing to give up. Eagles are comfortable with their nickel CBs wanted to upgrade but only up till a certain price

The #Eagles will roll with Bradley Roby (when healthy) and Eli Ricks in the slot, with Sydney Brown in box-nickel packages.

Ricks has allowed a 49.3 passer rating in his rookie year and Roby 47.9.
 
Montez sweat was just traded to Chi for 2nd round pick it’d be 35th pick if season ended today
i mean, i knew Wash would never trade with us, but man in the back of my head yesterday I was 🤞 . plus we don't need to spend that kind of capital for the position I guess.
There’s been rumbles if Chase young hits FA after the season the Eagles were very high on him. This was beginning of the year so not sure if him in FA changes that or not now. We’ll have to see come March

I hope not.
 
WSH took that loss so hard, they gave up on this season and went into full-on “sell” mode.
Josh Harris trying to go Full tank mode. They’re cleaning house this offseason riverboat Ron will be gone with the staff. Not sure if they keep EB but they should as OC not sure if I’d put a guy as HC and new culture with the allegations from his college day but with the way Josh Harris runs organizations that wouldn’t surprise me. They’ll be in full tank mode iMHo next year

Saw a graphic when at PT espn put up they are scoring almost 7 PTs less in the 3 loses compared to the wins TO diff went from a +8 to -3, passing yardage is down and teams have contained CMC well who has yet to have his miss 4 games injury run yet.
 
For the "This QB woulda beat the Eagles in the playoffs if he was healthy" team, kinda funny looking at that now. 7-1, best team in the NFL, yet still have not played a complete game yet. Should get Cam Jurgens back just in time for a key divisional game and hoping to go 8-1 into the bye. Jalen is that dude. AJ is that dude. Reddick is that dude. Love this team.
I don’t think we should be sniffing ourselves too much. We lost a game we should’ve won Vs the jets and almost gave away another with the Sake commanders we almost lost too again today. We should be worrying about all our own issues right now.
We are the only 1 loss team. Every team has flaws, I'd like to hear who you got ahead of us. I'm not worried about anyone but ourselves b/c for the most part the only way to beat us is either

1. No Jalen
2. No Lane
3. Lose the turnover margin 0-4

Thats it. Thats the blue print.

But let me hear who you got ahead of us please. I'm sniffing myself and I smell like 7 wins.

Bills with their 3 losses?
Cowboys with their loss to the Cardinals giving them their only win?
Chiefs who just looked terrible against the Broncos?
Dolphins who we just beat?
Niners who have lost 3 games in a row and Purdy sort of looking like an OK average starter, but his arm strength not being where it needs to be to make the throws his brain thinks he can?
Any given Sunday any team can win this year. You beat the Eagles by winning TOP, stopping the run and blitzing DBS at Hurts and making him roll out to his left with no room to run.

You are acting like we are somehow invincible. We’re a very flawed 7-1 team in fact I think last year I had less questions about the team then I have this year. Injuries are becoming a concern, we aren’t getting TOs or to the QB like we did last year, and the offense for the most part has been touch and go.

Yeah we beat mia but their wins this year have been against combine opponents with a .500 record. I think Dal lost that fake taking ARz too lightly. They seemed to get s little too cocky. KC battled the snow and Mahomes being sick first time KC lost to Den in 16 games last win Manning was the QB. We lost to the jets this year we’ve never lost too. This year I wouldn’t be super used with how the leagues gone we get a first round bye and then lose our playoff game. At the same time I wouldn’t be surprised if we made the SB. That’s a lot of possibilities right now.
Cool. I'll wait for your list of teams you personally think are better than the Eagles. You have this uncanny ability to "Eagles shoulda lost" our games and "That team shoulda won" for other teams.

History on when Manning Played, or how many rings the Cowboys have or what happened when Wentz or McNabb were here or any other weird historical stuff you bring up is irrelevant to this season.

I'm on record saying we are the best team in the NFL, and I also stated that the other teams definitely have their flaws too. Until I see your list, this is just hot air/practice for your debating skills.

Should in meaning the way we played we should’ve lost and didn’t really deserve the win more like the other team just wasn’t good enough to execute on our mistakes.

You and others here really need to get thicker skin. Sorry not everyone is blowing rainbows and sun shine about the team up your *** every day
LOL dude you keep saying we need thicker skin. I'm not sure what you are referring to. I'm just saying your logic doesn't add up. It doesn't offend me it puzzles me. Again, and I'll keep repeating it, if you think the Eagles "ain't all that" or whatever, please let me know your list of the teams better than ours. For as much as you like discussing and writing dissertations on here, you sure are avoiding this simple discussion.

Who do you have, right now, heading into week 9 as the Top 5 NFL teams, especially which ones above the Eagles? Shouldn't be hard.

Thanks
If it doesn’t offend you why are you crying about it? Seriously if it wasn’t that important you’d say whatever and move on. You keep referencing other things other fans say about soft schedule, rush push etc. you and others seem obsessed with what others think about our team. It’s getting beyond unhealthy.
How am I mentioning what other people say "Crying about it" I'm genuinely curious. Aren't you the guy that holds onto his opinions in the face of proof on your predictions, etc like all the time. Aren't you STILL not sold on Jalen Hurts, despite of all the success he has had as an Eagles QB.

Me mentioning what other people said about our team, the Tush Push, the schedule is just simply showing they were wrong about their opinion. All my stuff is out there broski, feel free to show me where I "cry about" stuff.

How's that list of top 5 teams or teams better than the Eagles coming btw? You keep interacting with me but somehow brushing past this part. Are you concerned that others might disagree with you causing you to "cry about it"

Be bold! This is a message board for crying out loud, no one is going to take your posting privileges away over a bad take or opinion! What say you!?

I think SF, KC Buff all have a chance to beat us. I think most of these 4 teams are pretty evenly matched. I don’t see any team worlds better then anyone else this year. All have holes that could be issues come playoff time
 
Horse **** report from some dweeb who paid for a blue check mark to pretend he knows something.
I keep forgetting that Twitter was run into the ground by an idiot and the blue checks mean nothing now, except you're also an idiot for buying one.
Yeah one of the things real reporters hated was the idiot allowing anyone to pull the check mark think and passing off misinformation. Also people have noticed said idiot got rid of the report misinformation on social issues, Politics, health option on the site. Gee I wonder why? Numerious people are going to threads that needs an upgrade. Twitter is turning into the ne 4chains

I did see a few people say if you block or start blocking a lot of the bS blue check marks the algorithm for you won’t suggest these as much if at all.

To add to this I think the eagles would have Johnson right now but given lack of time to talk possible extension terms with his agent and having some important own guys to sign and may need a tag for, they weren’t comfortable paying the price for what might be at least a 10 week rental 13 if they made the SB

Buffalo on the road isn't a good team. Lost to the Jets. Lost to the Jags (in London). Lost to the Patriots.

SF is a circled game for the Eagles. Reddick said as much. I think there's a lot of prideful guys in our locker room that didn't like all the talk those guys did after their loss.

I think after KC, the two tough games are @DAL and @SEA. The home games I think we win.
 
This is the best team in football right now. Period. That’s not to say things can’t change from now until February. That’s not to say they can’t be beaten. That’s not to say they have no flaws. But what is the argument? Who is better right now? And I actually think this team is a worse overall team than last year right now.

The only thing I will say to @Terpman22 is that I don’t believe the only conditions for the Eagles to lose are 1). Hurts injured, 2). Lane injured, 3). Eagles losing turnover battle 4-0.

They do have weaknesses that other good teams can exploit and take advantage of. But so does every other team.
 
Hurts has lost like 3 games in 2 years. What more do you want

Wins are great SB wins are what matter the most hurts can become the winningest SB in Eagles history for all I care and beat every record the team has. But if he doesn’t ant any SBs wins after all of that it’s really just hallow stats
Talk to us about Dak

It’s one of your favorite subjects. Dak is your future. It’s what happens when a Quarterback relies on their legs from pop Warner to college.

When they can’t /won’t run anymore then they all turn into pumpkins.

Dak, RGIII, Cam, Vick,…..
Unsurprisingly Cowboy fans come to the rescue of @DJackson10
 
In all seriousness, this should be a bloodbath. Between Micah talking too much, the Cowboys being what they always are, flash and finesse, I fully expect you guys to dominate.

If you run you will win, bigly. If you try to get cute it could be interesting.

Good luck fellas! It’s Christmas in November, you get your two favorite teams playing eachother!

How do you decide who you want to win? ;)
Cowboys being what they always are is what scares me. The Eagles havent beaten Dak in years.

Oh I agree with you. We CAN be beat straight up. I'm just pointing out that over the past 2 seasons, those are the only conditions under which the Eagles have lost, not including the Super Bowl.
 
This is the peak time of Dallas's season, when they still look good and have a chance. Once week 12/13 rolls around we all know they will be fighting 500 and claiming "you had the easier schedule!!"
 
I’m bummed we didn’t make another move before the deadline- at least to get rid of Barnett 😂

I wanted secondary help, but honestly, when we get Roby back, we should be in good shape. Bradberry and Slay are not the guys they used to be- but they’re pretty ok. Bradberry needs to untuck his head from his 5th point of contact, though.

Ghost and Byard aren’t BDawk or even Jenkins, but they’re pretty solid, too.

We need continuity and to gel in the secondary. Guys like Ricks and Brown have raw talent- they need to get some seasoning from the old guys. A lot if what went wrong agains WAS was poor communication and guys not carrying their man over to the next guy, or WRs getting through without being re-routed. All fixable.
Same here, but there was like 0 chance WAS was sending Chase our way. I wanted it, but like zero chance.
 
Somewhere in the multi-verse there's a timeline where the Eagles hired Josh McDaniels, traded for Russell Wilson, and signed Allen Robinson. 🤮
In that same multiverse we drafted Justin Jefferson over Reagor.

That can stay there in that multiverse haha.
And Stephen Jackson instead of Shawn Andrews
Man I thought Shawn Andrews was on the path to the HOF too after those first couple years. But thats the NFL..

Nah, we not doing this "easy schedule" nonsense again this year. Not with the highest strength of schedule coming into the season, a 1st place schedule and the toughest 6 game stretch any team in the NFL will face. Will see where the chips fall at the end of the season, but I'm not hearing that crap this year from anyone without checking them.
 
Man, here is the schedule for a bit:
Should be fun and glad the Eagles have a bye after this one to get some rest and healing in before they face their gauntlet this season (DAL, bye, @KC, BUF, 49ers, @Dal, @Sea)

Eagles @KC has the Chiefs coming off of their bye too. Eagles really need to win this game on Sunday because I think a 3-3 looks likely, hoping they can get 4-2 (losses to @KC, and @SEA)

I think this is a huge game for the Birds. Exactly because of that schedule. Dropping a H2H game agains a division rival and letting them within 1 game of us would be terrible.

We are going to lose some games in that stretch. Having a 3-game cushion on DAL and the H2H win takes the pressure off. But Dallas’ schedule is pretty easy.

Birds need to try and get the 1 seed, hoping to let SF, DAL, and DET beat each other up. What they can’t afford to do is drop the Division and have to go on the road against SF, DAL or DET for the wild card.

Fly, Eagles, fly! 🦅
 
This is Eagles hype day for me. Trying not to spam the thread, but, man I wanna talk about this game!
Lets hear it man!!

I read that Tyler Steen has been practicing at RG today.
That’ll be intetesting to watch. I’m really hoping they bring Jurgens back, especially for what he does for the run game.

Sua being limited I feel like is more precautionary. If Jurgens can’t go, I think Opeta will.

If Steen does get the start, look for Dan Quinn to bring some exotic looks, ET stunts, etc to try and bring pressure up the middle.
 
Zangaro and Roob talking about moving Bradberry into the slot for this game. Apparently CeeDee has 63.7% of snaps from the slot.

I hate this idea. Bradberry is off this year- looks slow and unmotivated. And he never was ideal as a slot CB. Keep him and Slay outside- they match up well against Gallup and Cooks.

Use Byard in the Big Nickel for 1st and 2nd down, then roll Ricks in for 3rd. Even Jobe looked ok against MIA.

I'm thinking the roll w Ricks at slot. Definitely not Bradberry. It ain't gonna be Brown though, so maybe Byard, but covering WR's man isn't really his strength.

Steen looked pretty damn good to me the limited snaps he played last week while Opeta was out. Opeta just is not the guy so even if he's in there and knows what he is doing, he is just a JAG to me.
 
Ok so Steen did get the majority of the reps w the 1st team on RG today. Seems Jurgens will be left to have the bye to recover and be 100% after it. Seems they are done seeing Opeta look like a turnstile, so the changing of the guard seems evident.
 
Derek Barnett - 99 snaps
Nolan Smith - 47 snaps

EVERY SNAP BARNETT STEALS FROM NOLAN SMITH IS A CRIME!
I'm no Barnette fan but I can only think of 2 times Smith was on the field this year. One a sack and the other last Sunday where he tackled Covey.
He's only been on the field for 47 snaps. Barnett has more than twice that, and Smith has more tackles, TFL and QB hits. And Smith had a great camp. Everyone was buzzing about how good he was in camp. The whole bench almost emptied when he got his sack.

Barnett's best quality this year is that he hasn't made any glaring stupid penalties. Yet.
