2023 Philadelphia Eagles - Complete waste of a season finally comes to an end. (8 Viewers)

The reality is that it doesn't matter. You have no choice in your scheduling and the Ws and Ls add up the same regardless of the sequence. The Eagles will be in the playoffs and a tough out.

Yeah, there is no way that's correct.

We played KC where we were coming off a bye, but oh, so were they.
The next week we played the Bills on short rest since the KC game was a MNF game.
The next week they played SF where SF was coming off 10 days rest.
The next week the played Dallas were Dallas was coming off 10 days rest.

We played arguably four of the top 5-6 teams in the league, either coming off a bye/mini bye/extra rest, back to back to back to back. Spreading them out over multiple weeks, effectively limiting the amount of tough games against better rested teams in a row would have absolutely made a difference. Do we still lose to SF and Dallas? Maybe/probably but the idea that the way the schedule shook out had no impact is carazy!

OK, lets spread those games out and say Philly goes 4-0. Now since they were spread out you lose 2 of the 4 easy games before hand due to looking ahead and lose 2 of the 4 easy games afterwards due to victory hangover. Now you're 8-4 over those games instead of 10-2. I'd say the NFL did the Eagles a favor compressing all the hard games together making their already Cupcake* schedule easy as Pie*

Schedule is what it is but they didn't do the Eagles any favors. Most teams don't face multiple opponents coming off 10 days rest let alone 2 of the 4-5 best teams in the league back to back.

But that stretch is over now. If we beat Seattle, we're 11-3 and went 4-2 over that gauntlet. It didn't look pretty in those 2 losses but the NFL doesn't have style points.

Question for Philly fans...what happened to Penney this year? Thought this could be a sneaky good signing if he could stay healthy but he has been totally MIA.

Question for Philly fans...what happened to Penney this year? Thought this could be a sneaky good signing if he could stay healthy but he has been totally MIA.

Lol weekly discussion about it here.

Penny was signed before the draft and thought to be the main back of a stable. Then the Swift trade fell in their lap. No one predicted what the usage would be from there. Eagles didn't even seem like they were going to use Swift in week 1 but then Gainwell got hurt. Then swift blew up.

Penny unfortunately has been the odd man out. He's valuable in case of injury but doesn't play special teams like Scott so he doesn't dress each week. I would have used Penny and Swift as a 1-2 punch all year but I'm not smart like NFL OCs so what do I know.

Thanks...just surprised he hasn't been given an opportunity at some point...odd career but he has had times where he looked very legit.

Yep. I agree. I'm just baffled by what the coaches are thinking.

Maybe he just doesn't look in practice...but if that was the case you would think they would have cut him by now.

That's what I'm saying too. Why keep him and waste the roster spot.

This is a great thread on the issues with the offensive game planning.

How to Fix the #Eagles Offense

The Passing Game
Jalen Hurts has an expected completion percentage of 61.6% this season, the 2nd lowest in the NFL. Hurts is presented with the 2nd most difficult throws on average in the entire NFL. If you want to know how to fix the offense, start with finding some easy buttons in the passing game. Hurts Completion Percentage Over Expectation is +4.9%, the highest in the NFL, which says that right now the system is making it as difficult as possible on the playmakers and the playmakers are performing above what is expected.

So what are those easy buttons?
Throw the ball between the numbers - The Eagles are 8th in yards per attempt and 6th in success rate when throwing between the numbers, but they are 30th in % of passes thrown between the numbers. Life gets much easier for a defense when they don't have to worry about covering 60% of the field.

Running Back Screens - The Eagles are 4th in the NFL in success rate on RB screens but they rank 28th in usage

Slants - The Eagles are 7th in success rate on Slants but they rank 22nd in usage

Curls - The Eagles rank 1st in success rate on Curls but they rank 28th in usage

The Running Game
QB Runs - There are 10 teams with at least 10 designed QB runs (sneaks excluded). The Eagles rank 10th in success rate (36.6%) and 7th in EPA/attempt (-0.08) but they have the 4th most such runs. Either Jalen Hurts is healthy and can run through contact or he isn't. If he is, then use him. If he isn't, stop calling runs for him and zone reads for him to slide down behind the line of scrimmage.

Pony Personnel - The Eagles have the 6th highest rushing success rate in the NFL out of Pony Personnel (2 RBs on the field). They have the 2nd lowest amount of rushing attempts from this package. (They also have the 3rd highest passing success rate from Pony Personnel but are 18th in usage).

Run Blocking - The Eagles offensive line ranks 18th in blown block percentage over the last 4 weeks. The OL is too good to be that bad. At a certain point you just have to execute.

Stop Turning the Ball Over - The Eagles have fumbled 9 times in the last 5 games and thrown 2 interceptions.

The Bottom Line
The Eagles offense has star players all over the field, but they have used them as a crutch instead of doing everything possible schematically to put them in positions to succeed. Everything that has been off with the offense can be fixed and it needs to be fixed fast.

The offense has a nice schedule of defenses to get their swagger back and figure out some things before the playoffs, when they need to be full throttle to carry a defense that is much harder to fix (more on that later).

pretty eye popping numbers
if we dont see some real improvement i dont see how the OC keeps his job

I was most surprised by the expected comp rate to actual. Shows how well Hurts is throwing the ball. Now you can still argue about him making the right reads, but accuracy is no longer an issue for him.

his accuracy was great all last season

Yeah, but "some people" still won't give him credit. This shows it wasn't a one year fluke.

The Guy has the best Oline and WRS in the NFL yet somehow gets praised for putting up underwhelming QB #'s ... He threw for 22 TDs in his "MVP" caliber year ... 2 less than Daniel Jones rookie season playing behind the Worst Oline and WRS in the NFL ... I mean c'mon. He's on Pace for 25 TDs and 13 Ints and 5 fumbles lost ... still with the best oline and still with the best WRS and somehow he is still in the "MVP" discussion with guys that are on pace for 30 plus TDs and less ints on far worse teams!?!?!?

The Truth is Hurts is statistically a top 12 QB on easily one of the best teams in the NFL and all of his metrics are down this year.
If he was on a bottom 10-12 team he'd be a backup QB

Remind me again of actually what Daniel Jones stats were this year before he got hurt?

Dont worry about Jones ... The teams are night day. Jones got hurt because he was hit more than any QB in football up to that point.
You should be concerned with Hurts .., He's mediocre in the best possible situation and that's not going to last forever as we are starting to see.

So you are saying you are more concerned with the Eagles and their QB than your own team. That's hilarious. Tommy Devito has 8 TDs. If he gets 7 more somehow, it might be time to pay him $45M per year in a contract extension.

My team is 10-3. Our concerns are about how far we go in the playoffs and your concerns are "what do we do next to not be a bottom feeder"

Maybe ... Devito has a higher QB rating than Hurts

He just might! We have a much better team though overall as you continuously point out though, so I guess you are expecting to get ran TF over 2 of the last 3 weeks of the season.

And I wouldn't surprise me to see your average GM with average roster building skills give out way above average contracts to players that don't deserve it, further wrecking your chances of any future hope or success. Gonna be a Happy Holiday season for us Eagles fans doing so trust me

Trying to follow along with the thread not just this post. Hoping I Have this right.

Eagles fans crying tough schedule still

Flexing on Giants fans now

We saw the same tough talk the last 2 weeks

But have been beaten 2 weeks in a row by 20+

Looks like more humble pie is on the way

Happy holidays

LOL as you guys like to say

Chirp Chirp

Yeah to catch you up to speed.

Giants saw a guy throw for 15 touchdowns last year and gave him a $45M per yer contract.

That QB starts the season 2 TDs and 6 picks his first 6 games for a pace of 6 TDs and 18 picks before getting hurt.

Eagles have had the best record or a share of it since the beginning of last year up until this point now as I type this.

Eagles QB finished 2nd in MVP voting and lost the Super Bowl

Giants fan out of the blue comes into the Eagles team thread to tell us how Jalen Hurts is overrating.

Flexing commences.

Hope that caught you up homie!

Right...When no team has had an easier stretch of games then it's likely you'll have a hard stretch of games.

This is what I mean though. It's "easiest stretch ever" and "okay you had a tough stretch too". That stretch was vs 4 of the top teams in the league, all in a row, all 4 teams coming off extra rest. That was absolutely brutal and the toughest stretch anyone in the league has faced and it's not even close. But sure, let's keep having posts about how 'cupcake' their end of season was, from posters who didn't once mention how brutal that stretch was for them.

Funny that we keep having posts about how difficult the four game stretch was for the Eagles from posters who didn't once mention all the cupcakes last year or the bulk of this year.

Please point out which of these teams you think were "cupcake" this year. I'll add context to each opponent to make it easier for you:

Week 1 @ New England. 1st game of the season. Mac Jones threw on us very well. 25-20 win - I'll say cupcake team looking at who they are now
Week 2 vs Minnesota. Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson were healthy for this game. Had a 27-7 lead, final score 34-28 . Currently a 7-6 team without Cousins and JJ majority of this year. Not cupcake
Week 3 @ Tampa 25-11 win. Currently 6-7 leading their division looking to make the playoffs. Not a cupcake
Week 4 vs Washington. 34-31 Had to be taken to overtime, and Sam Howell lit us up. Again he did the same the following game. Tough division win but I'll say cupcake
Week5 @ LAR. 23-14 win. Cross country road games are never cupcakes so just gonna say that. Rams currently 6-7 trying to squeeze into the playoffs. No cupcake for you.
Week 6 @ NYJ. 20-14 L Signature L against a cupcake team. Dominated them, but 0-4 turnover margin I'd wager NFL teams lose 99.9% of the time. Lost 20-14. We got cupcaked.
Week 7 vs Miami. 34-17 win, held their offense to 10 offensive points. Currently one of the top teams in the AFC. Not a cupcake
Week 8 Commanders. 38-31 win. Sam Howell went apes*** again on us, but we had a 34-24 lead until they scored a touchdown with 1:07 left in garbage time. Cupcake tho.
Week 9 vs Dallas 28-23 W. Tough game we held on. They are a top 3 NFC team. Not a cupcake.
Week 11. Beat KC in KC 21-17 on MNF. Never really happens, but people will say we got lucky against them. Mahomes ain't ever a cupcake win though.
Week 12 Beat Buffalo 38-34 OT thriller. Josh Allen and the Bills have lost * alot * of defensive players but they are still a tough out. Not a cupcake.
Week 13 Destroyed by the Niners. Worst loss of the season. Most on here believe they are the best team in the league so far from a cupcake.
Week 14 Beat the crap out of by Dallas in Dallas. Wasn't as bad as the Niners b/c the Cowboys aren't as tough a team, but it was bad.

So far, by my count I got 4 *cupcake* teams faced in 13 games. I would guess most teams in the NFL have faced as many *cupcake* teams or maybe more. Check Dallas' schedule for instance.

Feel free to tell me which of these opponents you would disagree our "cupcakes" other than the ones I mentioned here above.

And some argue to me and others in our team that despite playing a 1st place schedule, despite going 6-2 against current playoff or playoff adjacent teams - we really aren't that good of a team, are getting lucky and also the schedule truly isn't that difficult at all, that b/c some website said "per vegas its not that hard as we think* and the narrative that we coasted to a Super Bowl appearance last year, despite going toe to toe with the Champs until THE VERY LAST PLAY in albeit, a Super Bowl loss, that we got it easy. And pointing out the fact that we played the 2 toughest opponents on back to back weeks where *both* teams had rest advantages is some versions of *sour grapes* when we are just literally pointing at the fact that ya know, in a violent game like football where players go into recovery cold baths *immediately* after games to get their bodies right, is just plain and simple an advantage. Its not whining about it. Its not excuses the losses. Just pointing out the facts of the matter. Sorry for the long run-on sentence.

This is a great thread on the issues with the offensive game planning.

How to Fix the #Eagles Offense

The Passing Game
Jalen Hurts has an expected completion percentage of 61.6% this season, the 2nd lowest in the NFL. Hurts is presented with the 2nd most difficult throws on average in the entire NFL. If you want to know how to fix the offense, start with finding some easy buttons in the passing game. Hurts Completion Percentage Over Expectation is +4.9%, the highest in the NFL, which says that right now the system is making it as difficult as possible on the playmakers and the playmakers are performing above what is expected.

So what are those easy buttons?
Throw the ball between the numbers - The Eagles are 8th in yards per attempt and 6th in success rate when throwing between the numbers, but they are 30th in % of passes thrown between the numbers. Life gets much easier for a defense when they don't have to worry about covering 60% of the field.

Running Back Screens - The Eagles are 4th in the NFL in success rate on RB screens but they rank 28th in usage

Slants - The Eagles are 7th in success rate on Slants but they rank 22nd in usage

Curls - The Eagles rank 1st in success rate on Curls but they rank 28th in usage

The Running Game
QB Runs - There are 10 teams with at least 10 designed QB runs (sneaks excluded). The Eagles rank 10th in success rate (36.6%) and 7th in EPA/attempt (-0.08) but they have the 4th most such runs. Either Jalen Hurts is healthy and can run through contact or he isn't. If he is, then use him. If he isn't, stop calling runs for him and zone reads for him to slide down behind the line of scrimmage.

Pony Personnel - The Eagles have the 6th highest rushing success rate in the NFL out of Pony Personnel (2 RBs on the field). They have the 2nd lowest amount of rushing attempts from this package. (They also have the 3rd highest passing success rate from Pony Personnel but are 18th in usage).

Run Blocking - The Eagles offensive line ranks 18th in blown block percentage over the last 4 weeks. The OL is too good to be that bad. At a certain point you just have to execute.

Stop Turning the Ball Over - The Eagles have fumbled 9 times in the last 5 games and thrown 2 interceptions.

The Bottom Line
The Eagles offense has star players all over the field, but they have used them as a crutch instead of doing everything possible schematically to put them in positions to succeed. Everything that has been off with the offense can be fixed and it needs to be fixed fast.

The offense has a nice schedule of defenses to get their swagger back and figure out some things before the playoffs, when they need to be full throttle to carry a defense that is much harder to fix (more on that later).

pretty eye popping numbers
if we dont see some real improvement i dont see how the OC keeps his job

I was most surprised by the expected comp rate to actual. Shows how well Hurts is throwing the ball. Now you can still argue about him making the right reads, but accuracy is no longer an issue for him.

his accuracy was great all last season

Yeah, but "some people" still won't give him credit. This shows it wasn't a one year fluke.

The Guy has the best Oline and WRS in the NFL yet somehow gets praised for putting up underwhelming QB #'s ... He threw for 22 TDs in his "MVP" caliber year ... 2 less than Daniel Jones rookie season playing behind the Worst Oline and WRS in the NFL ... I mean c'mon. He's on Pace for 25 TDs and 13 Ints and 5 fumbles lost ... still with the best oline and still with the best WRS and somehow he is still in the "MVP" discussion with guys that are on pace for 30 plus TDs and less ints on far worse teams!?!?!?

The Truth is Hurts is statistically a top 12 QB on easily one of the best teams in the NFL and all of his metrics are down this year.
If he was on a bottom 10-12 team he'd be a backup QB

Remind me again of actually what Daniel Jones stats were this year before he got hurt?

Dont worry about Jones ... The teams are night day. Jones got hurt because he was hit more than any QB in football up to that point.
You should be concerned with Hurts .., He's mediocre in the best possible situation and that's not going to last forever as we are starting to see.

So you are saying you are more concerned with the Eagles and their QB than your own team. That's hilarious. Tommy Devito has 8 TDs. If he gets 7 more somehow, it might be time to pay him $45M per year in a contract extension.

My team is 10-3. Our concerns are about how far we go in the playoffs and your concerns are "what do we do next to not be a bottom feeder"

Maybe ... Devito has a higher QB rating than Hurts

He just might! We have a much better team though overall as you continuously point out though, so I guess you are expecting to get ran TF over 2 of the last 3 weeks of the season.

And I wouldn't surprise me to see your average GM with average roster building skills give out way above average contracts to players that don't deserve it, further wrecking your chances of any future hope or success. Gonna be a Happy Holiday season for us Eagles fans doing so trust me

Trying to follow along with the thread not just this post. Hoping I Have this right.

Eagles fans crying tough schedule still

Flexing on Giants fans now

We saw the same tough talk the last 2 weeks

But have been beaten 2 weeks in a row by 20+

Looks like more humble pie is on the way

Happy holidays

LOL as you guys like to say

Chirp Chirp

I mean this with all due respect, who are you?

New cowboys fan to the board. First 2 posts were about Dallas players, then the 30 posts he's ever made since that have just been bashing the Eagles.

Hey welcome to the page homie! Feel free to tell us the same old stuff. Let me see if I can get it all down before he mentions:

Cowboys have 5 rings
Eagles only have 1 ring.
Despite Eagles/Cowboys splitting this year, the Cowboys "owned us" both times.
Beating bad teams by a lot is better than barely beating playoff teams.
Nick Sirianni has the most punchable face in the league and is a fake tough guy.
Dak in his 8th full season as a starter is better than Hurts who is in his 3rd full season as a starter.
Dallas drafts better than Philly, although they just can't seem to go farther in the playoffs than us.
We *struggled* to beat the same teams they blew out.
The Arizona game kinda didn't happen.
BUT YA'LL LOST TO THE JETS!
Last year was the easiest schedule in sports history and Hurts fumbled the Super Bowl away ahahaa!


Let me know if I missed out on anything.

Please point out which of these teams you think were "cupcake" this year. I'll add context to each opponent to make it easier for you:

Week 1 @ New England. 1st game of the season. Mac Jones threw on us very well. 25-20 win - I'll say cupcake team looking at who they are now.
Week 2 vs Minnesota. Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson were healthy for this game. Had a 27-7 lead, final score 34-28 . Currently a 7-6 team without Cousins and JJ majority of this year. Not cupcake
Week 3 @ Tampa 25-11 win. Currently 6-7 leading their division looking to make the playoffs. Not a cupcake
Week 4 vs Washington. 34-31 Had to be taken to overtime, and Sam Howell lit us up. Again he did the same the following game. Tough division win but I'll say cupcake
Week5 @ LAR. 23-14 win. Cross country road games are never cupcakes so just gonna say that. Rams currently 6-7 trying to squeeze into the playoffs. No cupcake for you.
Week 6 @ NYJ. 20-14 L Signature L against a cupcake team. Dominated them, but 0-4 turnover margin I'd wager NFL teams lose 99.9% of the time. Lost 20-14. We got cupcaked.
Week 7 vs Miami. 34-17 win, held their offense to 10 offensive points. Currently one of the top teams in the AFC. Not a cupcake
Week 8 Commanders. 38-31 win. Sam Howell went apes*** again on us, but we had a 34-24 lead until they scored a touchdown with 1:07 left in garbage time. Cupcake tho.
Week 9 vs Dallas 28-23 W. Tough game we held on. They are a top 3 NFC team. Not a cupcake.
Week 11. Beat KC in KC 21-17 on MNF. Never really happens, but people will say we got lucky against them. Mahomes ain't ever a cupcake win though.
Week 12 Beat Buffalo 38-34 OT thriller. Josh Allen and the Bills have lost * alot * of defensive players but they are still a tough out. Not a cupcake.
Week 13 Destroyed by the Niners. Worst loss of the season. Most on here believe they are the best team in the league so far from a cupcake.

Feel free to tell me which of these opponents you would disagree our "cupcakes" other than the ones I mentioned here above.

And some argue to me and others in our team that despite playing a 1st place schedule, despite going 6-2 against current playoff or playoff adjacent teams - we really aren't that good of a team, are getting lucky and also the schedule truly isn't that difficult at all, that b/c some website said "per vegas its not that hard as we think* and the narrative that we coasted to a Super Bowl appearance last year, despite going toe to toe with the Champs until THE VERY LAST PLAY in albeit, a Super Bowl loss, that we got it easy.

Its not whining about it. Its not excuses the losses. Just pointing out the facts of the matter. Sorry for the long run-on sentence.

Week 1 @ New England. 1st game of the season. Mac Jones threw on us very well. 25-20 win - I'll say cupcake team looking at who they are now.
Agreed - Cupcake

Week 2 vs Minnesota. Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson were healthy for this game. Had a 27-7 lead, final score 34-28 . Currently a 7-6 team without Cousins and JJ majority of this year. Not cupcake
When Philly played Minny they were in a 1-4 stretch with that win being against Carolina. 2-4 with Jefferson this year with wins against Carolina and a 3-0 vs. LVR. Cupcake

Week 3 @ Tampa 25-11 win. Currently 6-7 leading their division looking to make the playoffs. Not a cupcake
Losing record. Wins vs Panthers, Falcons, Saints, Chicago, Tenn. A Baker is leading the team so obviously - Cupcake
Week 4 vs Washington. 34-31 Had to be taken to overtime, and Sam Howell lit us up. Again he did the same the following game. Tough division win but I'll say cupcake
Washington is so bad that beating them is like Buy One Cupcake, Get One Cupcake free - Cupcake

Week5 @ LAR. 23-14 win. Cross country road games are never cupcakes so just gonna say that. Rams currently 6-7 trying to squeeze into the playoffs. No cupcake for you.
4-5 since Kupp is back with half those wins being against Arizona. Pretty Cake team if you ask me. Verdict - KuppCake

Week 6 @ NYJ. 20-14 L Signature L against a cupcake team. Dominated them, but 0-4 turnover margin I'd wager NFL teams lose 99.9% of the time. Lost 20-14. We got cupcaked.
Agreed - Cupcake

Week 7 vs Miami. 34-17 win, held their offense to 10 offensive points. Currently one of the top teams in the AFC. Not a cupcake
Miami has feasted on Cupcakes this year to the point they are as fat as Philly. I'm not sure if Miami is good or a Cupcake. Verdict - Mini-Cupcake

Week 8 Commanders. 38-31 win. Sam Howell went apes*** again on us, but we had a 34-24 lead until they scored a touchdown with 1:07 left in garbage time. Cupcake tho.
As I said, BOGO - Cupcake

Week 9 vs Dallas 28-23 W. Tough game we held on. They are a top 3 NFC team. Not a cupcake.
If Miami has been feasting on Cupcakes, Dallas is gorging themselves. Giants, Jets, Pats, Commanders, Panthers. Barely beat Seattle. Hard to say what they are now so I'll slot them as a Muffin

Week 11. Beat KC in KC 21-17 on MNF. Never really happens, but people will say we got lucky against them. Mahomes ain't ever a cupcake win though.
Great win - Not a cupcake.

Week 12 Beat Buffalo 38-34 OT thriller. Josh Allen and the Bills have lost * alot * of defensive players but they are still a tough out. Not a cupcake.
Agreed - Not a cupcake.

Week 13 Destroyed by the Niners. Worst loss of the season. Most on here believe they are the best team in the league so far from a cupcake.
Agreed - Not a cupcake

Week 14 Beat the crap out of by Dallas in Dallas. Wasn't as bad as the Niners b/c the Cowboys aren't as tough a team, but it was bad.
See above - Muffin
Seahawks - TBD

NYG x 2 - Not a Cutlet so must be a Tortini x 2

Right...When no team has had an easier stretch of games then it's likely you'll have a hard stretch of games.

This is what I mean though. It's "easiest stretch ever" and "okay you had a tough stretch too". That stretch was vs 4 of the top teams in the league, all in a row, all 4 teams coming off extra rest. That was absolutely brutal and the toughest stretch anyone in the league has faced and it's not even close. But sure, let's keep having posts about how 'cupcake' their end of season was, from posters who didn't once mention how brutal that stretch was for them.

Funny that we keep having posts about how difficult the four game stretch was for the Eagles from posters who didn't once mention all the cupcakes last year or the bulk of this year.

Please point out which of these teams you think were "cupcake" this year. I'll add context to each opponent to make it easier for you:

Week 1 @ New England. 1st game of the season. Mac Jones threw on us very well. 25-20 win - I'll say cupcake team looking at who they are now.
Week 2 vs Minnesota. Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson were healthy for this game. Had a 27-7 lead, final score 34-28 . Currently a 7-6 team without Cousins and JJ majority of this year. Not cupcake
Week 3 @ Tampa 25-11 win. Currently 6-7 leading their division looking to make the playoffs. Not a cupcake
Week 4 vs Washington. 34-31 Had to be taken to overtime, and Sam Howell lit us up. Again he did the same the following game. Tough division win but I'll say cupcake
Week5 @ LAR. 23-14 win. Cross country road games are never cupcakes so just gonna say that. Rams currently 6-7 trying to squeeze into the playoffs. No cupcake for you.
Week 6 @ NYJ. 20-14 L Signature L against a cupcake team. Dominated them, but 0-4 turnover margin I'd wager NFL teams lose 99.9% of the time. Lost 20-14. We got cupcaked.
Week 7 vs Miami. 34-17 win, held their offense to 10 offensive points. Currently one of the top teams in the AFC. Not a cupcake
Week 8 Commanders. 38-31 win. Sam Howell went apes*** again on us, but we had a 34-24 lead until they scored a touchdown with 1:07 left in garbage time. Cupcake tho.
Week 9 vs Dallas 28-23 W. Tough game we held on. They are a top 3 NFC team. Not a cupcake.
Week 11. Beat KC in KC 21-17 on MNF. Never really happens, but people will say we got lucky against them. Mahomes ain't ever a cupcake win though.
Week 12 Beat Buffalo 38-34 OT thriller. Josh Allen and the Bills have lost * alot * of defensive players but they are still a tough out. Not a cupcake.
Week 13 Destroyed by the Niners. Worst loss of the season. Most on here believe they are the best team in the league so far from a cupcake.
Week 14 Beat the crap out of by Dallas in Dallas. Wasn't as bad as the Niners b/c the Cowboys aren't as tough a team, but it was bad.

So far, by my count I got 4 *cupcake* teams faced in 13 games. I would guess most teams in the NFL have faced as many *cupcake* teams or maybe more. Check Dallas' schedule for instance.

Feel free to tell me which of these opponents you would disagree our "cupcakes" other than the ones I mentioned here above.

And some argue to me and others in our team that despite playing a 1st place schedule, despite going 6-2 against current playoff or playoff adjacent teams - we really aren't that good of a team, are getting lucky and also the schedule truly isn't that difficult at all, that b/c some website said "per vegas its not that hard as we think* and the narrative that we coasted to a Super Bowl appearance last year, despite going toe to toe with the Champs until THE VERY LAST PLAY in albeit, a Super Bowl loss, that we got it easy. And pointing out the fact that we played the 2 toughest opponents on back to back weeks where *both* teams had rest advantages is some versions of *sour grapes* when we are just literally pointing at the fact that ya know, in a violent game like football where players go into recovery cold baths *immediately* after games to get their bodies right, is just plain and simple an advantage. Its not whining about it. Its not excuses the losses. Just pointing out the facts of the matter. Sorry for the long run-on sentence.

Week 1 @ New England. 1st game of the season. Mac Jones threw on us very well. 25-20 win - I'll say cupcake team looking at who they are now.

When Philly played Minny they were in a 1-4 stretch with that win being against Carolina. 2-4 with Jefferson this year with wins against Carolina and a 3-0 vs. LVR. Cupcake

Week 3 @ Tampa 25-11 win. Currently 6-7 leading their division looking to make the playoffs. Not a cupcake
Losing record. Wins vs Panthers, Falcons, Saints, Chicago, Tenn. A Baker is leading the team so obviously - Cupcake
Week 4 vs Washington. 34-31 Had to be taken to overtime, and Sam Howell lit us up. Again he did the same the following game. Tough division win but I'll say cupcake
Washington is so bad that beating them is like Buy One Cupcake, Get One Cupcake free - Cupcake

Week5 @ LAR. 23-14 win. Cross country road games are never cupcakes so just gonna say that. Rams currently 6-7 trying to squeeze into the playoffs. No cupcake for you.
4-5 since Kupp is back with half those wins being against Arizona. Pretty Cake team if you ask me. Verdict - KuppCake

Week 6 @ NYJ. 20-14 L Signature L against a cupcake team. Dominated them, but 0-4 turnover margin I'd wager NFL teams lose 99.9% of the time. Lost 20-14. We got cupcaked.
Agreed - Cupcake

Week 7 vs Miami. 34-17 win, held their offense to 10 offensive points. Currently one of the top teams in the AFC. Not a cupcake
Miami has feasted on Cupcakes this year to the point they are as fat as Philly. I'm not sure if Miami is good or a Cupcake. Verdict - Mini-Cupcake

Week 8 Commanders. 38-31 win. Sam Howell went apes*** again on us, but we had a 34-24 lead until they scored a touchdown with 1:07 left in garbage time. Cupcake tho.

Well If a 6 win team is a cupcake, you would have to agree the entire NFL has as many *cupcakes* on their schedule, agree? If not let me know which team you think doesn' have just as many, seems we are just talking in circles at this point.

Week 6 @ NYJ. 20-14 L Signature L against a cupcake team. Dominated them, but 0-4 turnover margin I'd wager NFL teams lose 99.9% of the time. Lost 20-14. We got cupcaked.
Agreed - Cupcake

Week 7 vs Miami. 34-17 win, held their offense to 10 offensive points. Currently one of the top teams in the AFC. Not a cupcake
Miami has feasted on Cupcakes this year to the point they are as fat as Philly. I'm not sure if Miami is good or a Cupcake. Verdict - Mini-Cupcake

Week 8 Commanders. 38-31 win. Sam Howell went apes*** again on us, but we had a 34-24 lead until they scored a touchdown with 1:07 left in garbage time. Cupcake tho.
As I said, BOGO - Cupcake

Week 9 vs Dallas 28-23 W. Tough game we held on. They are a top 3 NFC team. Not a cupcake.
If Miami has been feasting on Cupcakes, Dallas is gorging themselves. Giants, Jets, Pats, Commanders, Panthers. Barely beat Seattle. Hard to say what they are now so I'll slot them as a Muffin

Week 11. Beat KC in KC 21-17 on MNF. Never really happens, but people will say we got lucky against them. Mahomes ain't ever a cupcake win though.
Great win - Not a cupcake.

Week 12 Beat Buffalo 38-34 OT thriller. Josh Allen and the Bills have lost * alot * of defensive players but they are still a tough out. Not a cupcake.
Agreed - Not a cupcake.

Week 13 Destroyed by the Niners. Worst loss of the season. Most on here believe they are the best team in the league so far from a cupcake.
Agreed - Not a cupcake

Week 14 Beat the crap out of by Dallas in Dallas. Wasn't as bad as the Niners b/c the Cowboys aren't as tough a team, but it was bad.
See above - Muffin
Seahawks - TBD

NYG x 2 - Not a Cutlet so must be a Tortini x 2

Arizona - Cupcake

I come up with a Baker's dozen of small cakes on the Eagles schedule.

You’re calling the Cowboys a muffin lol. Sorry no credibility left at this point.

Aside from the Eagles (who the Cowboys only beat because the Eagles had the hardest stretch in the history of civilization), who have the Cowboys beaten that would be considered a high quality win?

I mean I get what you are saying but they aren't a bad or mid team they are very good, despite the fact they haven't played anybody worth a damn for the most part on their schedule. But thems the breaks, you can only play who is on your schedule. They got 3 games in a row coming up against winning teams 2 of which the Eagles beat (bc their fans *LOVE* telling me how they beat X team by Y amount when we only beat X team by Z amount) where they will get a chance to really prove themselves in Buffalo (mid team with Great QB), Miami (also potential fraudulent team that hasn't beat anyone of note this season) and the Lions (who are flailing and losing to I guess Cupcake teams lol) and then they finish against the Commanders where I expect Dak to be bombing on them up 21 with 6 minutes left like the last game.

With that said, methinks they lose at least one of these, and the way tie breakers work, we really gotta win all our games to lock up the division.

With that said, methinks they lose at least one of these, and the way tie breakers work, we really gotta win all our games to lock up the division

If you guys and Dallas win out, you win the division because of conference play, I think.

Yes, according to ESPN:

"The Cowboys hold the top spot in the NFC East, which currently gives them the No. 2 NFC seed, thanks to a tiebreaker. However, if they and the Eagles win their final four games, Philadelphia would win the division for the second straight season by having a better conference record."

 

[need2know]

Right...When no team has had an easier stretch of games then it's likely you'll have a hard stretch of games.

This is what I mean though. It's "easiest stretch ever" and "okay you had a tough stretch too". That stretch was vs 4 of the top teams in the league, all in a row, all 4 teams coming off extra rest. That was absolutely brutal and the toughest stretch anyone in the league has faced and it's not even close. But sure, let's keep having posts about how 'cupcake' their end of season was, from posters who didn't once mention how brutal that stretch was for them.

Funny that we keep having posts about how difficult the four game stretch was for the Eagles from posters who didn't once mention all the cupcakes last year or the bulk of this year.

Please point out which of these teams you think were "cupcake" this year. I'll add context to each opponent to make it easier for you:

Week 1 @ New England. 1st game of the season. Mac Jones threw on us very well. 25-20 win - I'll say cupcake team looking at who they are now.
Week 2 vs Minnesota. Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson were healthy for this game. Had a 27-7 lead, final score 34-28 . Currently a 7-6 team without Cousins and JJ majority of this year. Not cupcake
Week 3 @ Tampa 25-11 win. Currently 6-7 leading their division looking to make the playoffs. Not a cupcake
Week 4 vs Washington. 34-31 Had to be taken to overtime, and Sam Howell lit us up. Again he did the same the following game. Tough division win but I'll say cupcake
Week5 @ LAR. 23-14 win. Cross country road games are never cupcakes so just gonna say that. Rams currently 6-7 trying to squeeze into the playoffs. No cupcake for you.
Week 6 @ NYJ. 20-14 L Signature L against a cupcake team. Dominated them, but 0-4 turnover margin I'd wager NFL teams lose 99.9% of the time. Lost 20-14. We got cupcaked.

Week 14 Beat the crap out of by Dallas in Dallas. Wasn't as bad as the Niners b/c the Cowboys aren't as tough a team, but it was bad.

So far, by my count I got 4 *cupcake* teams faced in 13 games. I would guess most teams in the NFL have faced as many *cupcake* teams or maybe more. Check Dallas' schedule for instance.

Feel free to tell me which of these opponents you would disagree our "cupcakes" other than the ones I mentioned here above.

And some argue to me and others in our team that despite playing a 1st place schedule, despite going 6-2 against current playoff or playoff adjacent teams - we really aren't that good of a team, are getting lucky and also the schedule truly isn't that difficult at all, that b/c some website said "per vegas its not that hard as we think* and the narrative that we coasted to a Super Bowl appearance last year, despite going toe to toe with the Champs until THE VERY LAST PLAY in albeit, a Super Bowl loss, that we got it easy. And pointing out the fact that we played the 2 toughest opponents on back to back weeks where *both* teams had rest advantages is some versions of *sour grapes* when we are just literally pointing at the fact that ya know, in a violent game like football where players go into recovery cold baths *immediately* after games to get their bodies right, is just plain and simple an advantage. Its not whining about it. Its not excuses the losses. Just pointing out the facts of the matter. Sorry for the long run-on sentence.

Week 1 @ New England. 1st game of the season. Mac Jones threw on us very well. 25-20 win - I'll say cupcake team looking at who they are now.
Agreed - Cupcake

Week 2 vs Minnesota. Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson were healthy for this game. Had a 27-7 lead, final score 34-28 . Currently a 7-6 team without Cousins and JJ majority of this year. Not cupcake
When Philly played Minny they were in a 1-4 stretch with that win being against Carolina. 2-4 with Jefferson this year with wins against Carolina and a 3-0 vs. LVR. Cupcake

Week 3 @ Tampa 25-11 win. Currently 6-7 leading their division looking to make the playoffs. Not a cupcake
Losing record. Wins vs Panthers, Falcons, Saints, Chicago, Tenn. A Baker is leading the team so obviously - Cupcake
Week 4 vs Washington. 34-31 Had to be taken to overtime, and Sam Howell lit us up. Again he did the same the following game. Tough division win but I'll say cupcake
Washington is so bad that beating them is like Buy One Cupcake, Get One Cupcake free - Cupcake

Week5 @ LAR. 23-14 win. Cross country road games are never cupcakes so just gonna say that. Rams currently 6-7 trying to squeeze into the playoffs. No cupcake for you.

I dont think we win all 4. I don't think Dallas does either.

This is correct. If we lose one of the divisional games we are screwed though. The MNF game will be the toughest of all of them but lol Tommy Devito also is on a hot streak. The Cardinals are giving up the 3rd most points per game (right in front of the Eagles by 2 spots lol) and they have Kyler playing who....doesn't look great but is better than what they had earlier this year.

Gonna be a fun stressful 4 weeks for the Birds....

Christmas Day should be fun though. All I want is Feathered Teams to win on Christmas, Santa....

Week 3 @ Tampa 25-11 win. Currently 6-7 leading their division looking to make the playoffs. Not a cupcake
Week 4 vs Washington. 34-31 Had to be taken to overtime, and Sam Howell lit us up. Again he did the same the following game. Tough division win but I'll say cupcake
Week5 @ LAR. 23-14 win. Cross country road games are never cupcakes so just gonna say that. Rams currently 6-7 trying to squeeze into the playoffs. No cupcake for you.
Week 6 @ NYJ. 20-14 L Signature L against a cupcake team. Dominated them, but 0-4 turnover margin I'd wager NFL teams lose 99.9% of the time. Lost 20-14. We got cupcaked.
Week 7 vs Miami. 34-17 win, held their offense to 10 offensive points. Currently one of the top teams in the AFC. Not a cupcake
Week 8 Commanders. 38-31 win. Sam Howell went apes*** again on us, but we had a 34-24 lead until they scored a touchdown with 1:07 left in garbage time. Cupcake tho.
Week 9 vs Dallas 28-23 W. Tough game we held on. They are a top 3 NFC team. Not a cupcake.
Week 11. Beat KC in KC 21-17 on MNF. Never really happens, but people will say we got lucky against them. Mahomes ain't ever a cupcake win though.
Week 12 Beat Buffalo 38-34 OT thriller. Josh Allen and the Bills have lost * alot * of defensive players but they are still a tough out. Not a cupcake.
Week 13 Destroyed by the Niners. Worst loss of the season. Most on here believe they are the best team in the league so far from a cupcake.
Week 14 Beat the crap out of by Dallas in Dallas. Wasn't as bad as the Niners b/c the Cowboys aren't as tough a team, but it was bad.

So far, by my count I got 4 *cupcake* teams faced in 13 games. I would guess most teams in the NFL have faced as many *cupcake* teams or maybe more. Check Dallas' schedule for instance.

Feel free to tell me which of these opponents you would disagree our "cupcakes" other than the ones I mentioned here above.

And some argue to me and others in our team that despite playing a 1st place schedule, despite going 6-2 against current playoff or playoff adjacent teams - we really aren't that good of a team, are getting lucky and also the schedule truly isn't that difficult at all, that b/c some website said "per vegas its not that hard as we think* and the narrative that we coasted to a Super Bowl appearance last year, despite going toe to toe with the Champs until THE VERY LAST PLAY in albeit, a Super Bowl loss, that we got it easy. And pointing out the fact that we played the 2 toughest opponents on back to back weeks where *both* teams had rest advantages is some versions of *sour grapes* when we are just literally pointing at the fact that ya know, in a violent game like football where players go into recovery cold baths *immediately* after games to get their bodies right, is just plain and simple an advantage. Its not whining about it. Its not excuses the losses. Just pointing out the facts of the matter. Sorry for the long run-on sentence.

Week 1 @ New England. 1st game of the season. Mac Jones threw on us very well. 25-20 win - I'll say cupcake team looking at who they are now.

Week 3 @ Tampa 25-11 win. Currently 6-7 leading their division looking to make the playoffs. Not a cupcake
Losing record. Wins vs Panthers, Falcons, Saints, Chicago, Tenn. A Baker is leading the team so obviously - Cupcake

Washington is so bad that beating them is like Buy One Cupcake, Get One Cupcake free - Cupcake

Week5 @ LAR. 23-14 win. Cross country road games are never cupcakes so just gonna say that. Rams currently 6-7 trying to squeeze into the playoffs. No cupcake for you.
4-5 since Kupp is back with half those wins being against Arizona. Pretty Cake team if you ask me. Verdict - KuppCake

Week 6 @ NYJ. 20-14 L Signature L against a cupcake team. Dominated them, but 0-4 turnover margin I'd wager NFL teams lose 99.9% of the time. Lost 20-14. We got cupcaked.

As I said, BOGO - Cupcake

Week 9 vs Dallas 28-23 W. Tough game we held on. They are a top 3 NFC team. Not a cupcake.
If Miami has been feasting on Cupcakes, Dallas is gorging themselves. Giants, Jets, Pats, Commanders, Panthers. Barely beat Seattle. Hard to say what they are now so I'll slot them as a Muffin

Week 11. Beat KC in KC 21-17 on MNF. Never really happens, but people will say we got lucky against them. Mahomes ain't ever a cupcake win though.
Great win - Not a cupcake.

See above - Muffin
Seahawks - TBD

NYG x 2 - Not a Cutlet so must be a Tortini x 2

Arizona - Cupcake

I come up with a Baker's dozen of small cakes on the Eagles schedule.

You’re calling the Cowboys a muffin lol. Sorry no credibility left at this point.

Aside from the Eagles (who the Cowboys only beat because the Eagles had the hardest stretch in the history of civilization), who have the Cowboys beaten that would be considered a high quality win?

That doesn’t automatically make them a muffin.

So we got cupcake, we got muffins, is the next one cookie? strudel? Tart? croissant? LOL this has me dying I dunno why lol

You’re missing tortinis. Translation to English from Italian is small cake. Seems appropriate for the Giants given Devito

 

[Terpman22]

Right...When no team has had an easier stretch of games then it's likely you'll have a hard stretch of games.

This is what I mean though. It's "easiest stretch ever" and "okay you had a tough stretch too". That stretch was vs 4 of the top teams in the league, all in a row, all 4 teams coming off extra rest. That was absolutely brutal and the toughest stretch anyone in the league has faced and it's not even close. But sure, let's keep having posts about how 'cupcake' their end of season was, from posters who didn't once mention how brutal that stretch was for them.

Funny that we keep having posts about how difficult the four game stretch was for the Eagles from posters who didn't once mention all the cupcakes last year or the bulk of this year.

Please point out which of these teams you think were "cupcake" this year. I'll add context to each opponent to make it easier for you:

Week 1 @ New England. 1st game of the season. Mac Jones threw on us very well. 25-20 win - I'll say cupcake team looking at who they are now.

This is a great thread on the issues with the offensive game planning.

How to Fix the #Eagles Offense

The Passing Game
Jalen Hurts has an expected completion percentage of 61.6% this season, the 2nd lowest in the NFL. Hurts is presented with the 2nd most difficult throws on average in the entire NFL. If you want to know how to fix the offense, start with finding some easy buttons in the passing game. Hurts Completion Percentage Over Expectation is +4.9%, the highest in the NFL, which says that right now the system is making it as difficult as possible on the playmakers and the playmakers are performing above what is expected.

So what are those easy buttons?
Throw the ball between the numbers - The Eagles are 8th in yards per attempt and 6th in success rate when throwing between the numbers, but they are 30th in % of passes thrown between the numbers. Life gets much easier for a defense when they don't have to worry about covering 60% of the field.

Running Back Screens - The Eagles are 4th in the NFL in success rate on RB screens but they rank 28th in usage

Slants - The Eagles are 7th in success rate on Slants but they rank 22nd in usage

Curls - The Eagles rank 1st in success rate on Curls but they rank 28th in usage

The Running Game
QB Runs - There are 10 teams with at least 10 designed QB runs (sneaks excluded). The Eagles rank 10th in success rate (36.6%) and 7th in EPA/attempt (-0.08) but they have the 4th most such runs. Either Jalen Hurts is healthy and can run through contact or he isn't. If he is, then use him. If he isn't, stop calling runs for him and zone reads for him to slide down behind the line of scrimmage.

Pony Personnel - The Eagles have the 6th highest rushing success rate in the NFL out of Pony Personnel (2 RBs on the field). They have the 2nd lowest amount of rushing attempts from this package. (They also have the 3rd highest passing success rate from Pony Personnel but are 18th in usage).

Run Blocking - The Eagles offensive line ranks 18th in blown block percentage over the last 4 weeks. The OL is too good to be that bad. At a certain point you just have to execute.

Stop Turning the Ball Over - The Eagles have fumbled 9 times in the last 5 games and thrown 2 interceptions.

The Bottom Line
The Eagles offense has star players all over the field, but they have used them as a crutch instead of doing everything possible schematically to put them in positions to succeed. Everything that has been off with the offense can be fixed and it needs to be fixed fast.

The offense has a nice schedule of defenses to get their swagger back and figure out some things before the playoffs, when they need to be full throttle to carry a defense that is much harder to fix (more on that later).

pretty eye popping numbers
if we dont see some real improvement i dont see how the OC keeps his job

I was most surprised by the expected comp rate to actual. Shows how well Hurts is throwing the ball. Now you can still argue about him making the right reads, but accuracy is no longer an issue for him.

his accuracy was great all last season

Yeah, but "some people" still won't give him credit. This shows it wasn't a one year fluke.

The Guy has the best Oline and WRS in the NFL yet somehow gets praised for putting up underwhelming QB #'s ... He threw for 22 TDs in his "MVP" caliber year ... 2 less than Daniel Jones rookie season playing behind the Worst Oline and WRS in the NFL ... I mean c'mon. He's on Pace for 25 TDs and 13 Ints and 5 fumbles lost ... still with the best oline and still with the best WRS and somehow he is still in the "MVP" discussion with guys that are on pace for 30 plus TDs and less ints on far worse teams!?!?!?

The Truth is Hurts is statistically a top 12 QB on easily one of the best teams in the NFL and all of his metrics are down this year.
If he was on a bottom 10-12 team he'd be a backup QB

You aren’t wrong about the talent around him
But he’s a starting QB in this league. I just don’t think he’s the type of qb who makes scrub players around him better. I think he’s top 15 on a bad team and maybe Neal’s into the top 10 convo depending on the coach and scheme.

This puts into stats what I've felt all year. Our talent is carrying the team over the play calling.

How in the world does Swift have only 45 targets the whole year? He's 16th among RBs in targets behind guys like Stevenson, Ford, Tyjae ****ing Spears. Why would it not be mandatory to fit a Swift screen pass into the game plan every week?

Why have we gone away from the AJ slant? I bet if we looked at his 6 week, 125+yd run, we'd see a bulk of our slant yardage for the year was to him in those 6 games. It's an unstoppable play.

Why are all the routes 10+ yards down the field? Also very little motion and crossing action. It's all vanilla ****.

Johnson needs to really show something these last 4 games.

I was watching a pod and they showed a graphic that traced every AJ Brown route last week. Nothing but go routes down the sidelines and not a single route across the middle. Just mind boggling

It usually doesn't even actually work in Madden either.

The deep ball only works on certain plays but over use it and the defense starts to smarten up. the y lead option though with the right QB seems glitched and works like a charm constantly. Running that with Anthony Richardson and Randall is ultimate team is something else

 

[DJackson10]

Question for Philly fans...what happened to Penney this year? Thought this could be a sneaky good signing if he could stay healthy but he has been totally MIA.

Penny signed prior to draft then traded for swift on draft day. Penny don’t play special teams and teams hate using gameday spots on backups who can’t do that. I’d prefer them have traded agains well and signed someone to the PS or roster young who could grow and let Swift and Penny be like a thunder and lightening duo

 

[DJackson10]

Question for Philly fans...what happened to Penney this year? Thought this could be a sneaky good signing if he could stay healthy but he has been totally MIA.

Lol weekly discussion about it here.

Penny was signed before the draft and thought to be the main back of a stable. Then the Swift trade fell in their lap. No one predicted what the usage would be from there. Eagles didn't even seem like they were going to use Swift in week 1 but then Gainwell got hurt. Then swift blew up.

Penny unfortunately has been the odd man out. He's valuable in case of injury but doesn't play special teams like Scott so he doesn't dress each week. I would have used Penny and Swift as a 1-2 punch all year but I'm not smart like NFL OCs so what do I know.

Thanks...just surprised he hasn't been given an opportunity at some point...odd career but he has had times where he looked very legit.

Yep. I agree. I'm just baffled by what the coaches are thinking.

Maybe he just doesn't look in practice...but if that was the case you would think they would have cut him by now.

This is my thinking not doing well in practice. At the same time there aren’t many players in FA as talented as him and they probably rather keep him then sign with a potential playoff opponent

DeVonta Smith, Cam Jurgens, and Haason Reddick did not practice today. Reed Blankenship was on the field, but still in concussion protocol. Team did a full pads practice, instead of the usual walk-through to start the week.

that is a little interesting. Kind of suggests that the coaching staff doesn't feel the main issue was the team was just tired and worn down from that nasty stretch, but it might be a bit of effort or needing to know how to tackle and hold on to the ball better

 

[Insein]

I can't remember. Do they normally have full pad practices at least once a week?

 

[The Noid]

I can't remember. Do they normally have full pad practices at least once a week?

Second half of the season they usually do a walk through on the first day (Wednesday’s in a usual week, Thursday’s for MNF). And then next two days are pads.

 

[The Noid]

DeVonta Smith, Cam Jurgens, and Haason Reddick did not practice today. Reed Blankenship was on the field, but still in concussion protocol. Team did a full pads practice, instead of the usual walk-through to start the week.

According to the team, Smith and Haason Reddick took their normal workload without helmets or pads on. So they were listed as full participants, which is apparently inline with the rules

or maybe just having the heavier practice earlier in the week, walkthroughs later?
