2024 Philadelphia Eagles - AJ’s book club read for next week: “Serenity Now” by Frank Costanza. (64 Viewers)

[Terpman22]

Have not been unworried as I am for this game in a long time. I don't see any way we do not destroy the Panthers. 32nd rush defense, 29th total defense, 32nd in PPG. Yikes.

This is one of those games where, if you are trying or looking at a guy trying to break a record, where you really need a big game. And Saquon doesn't disappoint.

24 carries 176 yards, 2 touchdowns rushing
3 catches, 26 yards

Eagles 38
Panthers 13

Man, I was just thinking. Imagine if the Eagles get the same kind of mysterious issue they had last year and lose like 4 of the next 5 games? I can't even imagine how quickly all of our collective brains would explode. Crazy the difference from one year to the next

last year our defense was so bad it was amazing we had such a good start

Desai was not good, but was not terrible. Patricia was an unmitigated disaster. That marginal defense became the worst in the league once they zipped Desai and installed pencil boy.

Pretty sure Desai’s numbers were a lot worse than Patricia’s. Desai was one of the worst DC’s in team history. Yes, even worse than Juan Castillo

The defense under Desai gave up 20 ppg prior to the SF game to teams including the Bills, KC, Dallas, Miami, Minny and TB. After the sf game (under Patricia) they gave up just under 31 ppg against Dallas, NYG twice, Arizona and TB.

Not close, Patricia was waaaaay worse.

I don’t think cherry picking the stats are the way to go. I’ll have to find the older post but Desai was like last in the league over his time as DC in PPG. Patricia was bad but had 5 games and was changing systems, injured players late etc. Desai was the worst DC (maybe what I read had a games limit) in our history I believe.

? How is it cherry picking stats. One guy clearly was the DC for an amount of games and the other guy clearly was the DC when the 1st guy no longer was the DC.

Who cares though, they both suck and are not DCs currently for good reason.

Who was the better WR Billy McMullen or Marvin McNutt?

Can we dedicate the next 5 pages to this much needed debate?

The point is "they both suck/who cares"

Its never as easy as it looks on paper. And carolina is feisty. Nothing to lose

 

[DJackson10]

I think our shot at the 1 seed is over. Needed the packers last night and they failed

Yep. I don’t see two losses on Detroits remaining schedule. Thanks packers!

Nah, it's not over. Detroit could easily drop another with their defense all beat up. Just win and let things fall how they may. If 15-2 is a 2 seed so be it. Wil be even more epic when Philly strolls in and whips them

They almost lost to a 4-8 Chicago team. Their defense is leaking oil right now.

Goff outdoors has a lower QB rating and turns the ball over at twice the clip he does indoor. I think that Chicago game is going to be one where their defense is going to have to play tons better for them to win.

Either way, I think Philly can go to Detroit in the playoffs and beat that team if that's the way the seeding plays out.

That Chargers defense is no push over. I think next year they could be easily top 10 in most categories

 

[Deamon]

Have not been unworried as I am for this game in a long time. I don't see any way we do not destroy the Panthers.

I have bad PTSD and am extremely worried about this game. Last time Carolina was in Philly , was in 2018 for my once-a-year trip to Philly for a game, where we were up 17-0 with 11 minutes left and lost. Me and my buddy were supposed to hang out with the team after the game (long story, most of you know) and they cancelled their dinner/drinks thing afterwards because of the loss, so we spent the rest of the night sad af instead of celebrating with the D-Line.

A nightmare I'll never forget.

Right. You said Desai had worse numbers than Patricia. I posted his average ppg allowed prior to the game that got him clipped. I said at the time I thought it was a little too reactionary. I still believe that. Again, prior to the sf game he was giving up 20 ppg. Just for reference, Jim Johnson’s defense averaged 17.5 ppg over his career. When Patricia took over, that number jumped by 50%. I don’t understand how anyone can say that Desai was worse.

If Desai ranked 30th in ppg then Patricia had to rank 73rd.

ETA. He gave up a total of 288 point over 13 weeks. Thats 22 ppg and includes the sf game. For the remain five weeks and one playoff game, Patricia gave up 172 points or just under 29 ppg. I don’t know why this is an argument. Patricia was worse than Desai and his hiring/elevation to DC was arguably one of the worst decisions a normally great front office made. It was one of the main catalysts for the most epic team meltdown we’ve ever seen with the Eagles.

I’m not comparing a 5 game sample to Desai. Both sucked. I think the stats I read was just comparing guys with X amount of games coached so maybe Patricia didn’t qualify for what I read.

I also think your math is still wrong

OK, I don’t know what to say. I’m comparing Patricia‘s time as defensive coordinator for the Eagles to Sean Desai’s time as defensive coordinator for the Eagles. Otherwise, what are we talking about?

Also, 288÷13 is 22.1. 172÷6 is 28.7. I’m not sure how my math is off but honestly, it doesn’t matter. This is a silly conversation. Both of these guys suck and they are no longer a part of this team. Which makes me happy.

Go birds!

You’re counting weeks and not games. It’s 12 and again, he was 30th in the league in pints allowed. There’s 32 teams.

I agree with the second part. They both suck

Exactly. Point was a simple one lol. For DC’s who qualified, Desai was our worst ever. For ones that don’t have a qualification, Patricia was the worst. Followed by Desai lol.

 

[DJackson10]

I hope Howie and company watched that SEC title game. A lot of good DL and Edge Rushers who will come out and two good TEs. Also Eagles need to get Texas Safety Andrew Mubuka at all cost. Dude can lay the lumber and good playmaker.

 

[renesauz]

I keep thinking this is a trap game as Carolina has played so much better recently....but I don't think this Eagles team will have a let down. Carolina scores some in garbage time to make it look closer then it is... Philly 35-24

I keep thinking this is a trap game as Carolina has played so much better recently....but I don't think this Eagles team will have a let down. Carolina scores some in garbage time to make it look closer then it is... Philly 35-24

i stick with 24-14

Have not been unworried as I am for this game in a long time. I don't see any way we do not destroy the Panthers. 32nd rush defense, 29th total defense, 32nd in PPG. Yikes.

This is one of those games where, if you are trying or looking at a guy trying to break a record, where you really need a big game. And Saquon doesn't disappoint.

24 carries 176 yards, 2 touchdowns rushing
3 catches, 26 yards

Eagles 38
Panthers 13

Incoming 1 score game

That’s how I always feel when it comes to these games too lol

Its never as easy as it looks on paper. And carolina is feisty. Nothing to lose

You can set a clock to it lol

We won but wouldn’t have been shocked by a loss today. Offense looked bad most of the day.

Not entirely sure I agree. How many drives did they even get in that second half? 3? 4 maybe?
Carolina came with an aggressive plan and had a few lucky bounces. Eagles offense had an unusually low number of drives to work with. Defense was generally good....how many times did Young escape heavy pressure to convert on 3rd or 4th down? Sometimes you just have to give the other team some credit. Panthers came out with upset on their mind.

This was a trap game, we all knew it. Eagles survived/escaped. Take the W and move on

Hurts play and the missed tackles were some of the worst all season. Credit to Young for making some VERY clutch escapes and throws as well.

Just hope no injuries were bad and it’s onto Pittsburgh!

 

[need2know]

That was one ugly win

I'm still trying to figure out what Hurts was doing on that last drive when he slid for a 9 yard loss instead of just throwing it away.

Also, Jake Elliot, you're on notice, this might be your last season here if you can't make a 50 yard FG.

Hurts made a bunch of strange decisions today. There were several times he could have thrown it away and many times he looked very hesitant to even throw the ball. He wasnt seeing the field well. Some people were saying our wrs were covered up well by caolinas scheme/secondary but i dont know for sure

Him leaving the press conference after being asked “What can be done to improve the passing game?” by Tim McManus isn’t gonna go over well this week either.

The processing was SO poor today.

Jalen Hurts - per @NextGenStats:

4 sacks on 9 pressures - 3.29 average time to pressure was slowest in league this week so far

3.47 Average Time to Throw - slowest of season for him
5.1 yards/attempt - lowest of season
5.6 air yards/attempt - lowest of season

 

[Terpman22]

11-2 baby.

Eagles have gone to the Super Bowl every single time they have started 11-2.

Jalen Hurts has to get better but, I’m not as worried I guess as everyone else.

Chiefs, the Super Bowl champs, also barely survived the Panthers. Literally just last week.

Relax

Maybe he was not feeling well or he partied last night? Who knows

I'm not going to read much into the Panther game. We seemed to be either tight or conservative on offense. The Panthers played as a team that had nothing to lose and we survived.

The one thing that surprises me is we get into 2nd and short a lot but we'll go spread pass instead of pound the ball. Plus I do think the QB keepers we see are audibles unless it's a designed RPO. I personally would take those audibles out and let Hurts audible to something else. I think defenses are tricking Hurts into audibles. This is part of the evolution and growth.

Wishful thinking. Get Hurts under center more even for passing plays. Rotate these backs more often not only for series. I think Shipley would be a much better change of pace runner than Gainwell. Gainwell runs similar to Barkley, he's just not as elusive.

All in all this team is on schedule and still has room for improvement. Many other teams I think have hit their ceiling.

The bolded 100%. Maybe the Lions will go for it on 4th down 5 times in a game if we eventually play them. For as much "Eagles got lucky" takes there are, it seems no one is remembering how lucky the Panthers got to get this close. 4th down conversion from his own end zone, bodies flying all around and then the one where Jalen Carter deflects it, only into Thielen's breadbasket.

Every game has a personality. I'll take the W. Let the rest argue over style...

If the title of the thread is referencing the murderer of an innocent man, I would ask that you change it. I knew Brian personally and this would be in very bad taste to make light of it.

Agreed on the 2nd and shorts. I'm fine with taking shots in those situations, but do it off play action, don't tip your hand and show pass from jump.

Every time I see a QB draw I groan. Seems to fail most the time and be a wasted down plus increase an injury chance for Hurts. He can get those yards on passing plays that break down without intentionally adding to it. I'm kinda over RPO's and would rather a more traditional play action offense, but maybe I'm just getting old.

I'm glad the Eagles didn't roll yesterday, it will make for a good week of practice, and a refocus for them. I said it last week, I still feel the same today. Eagles are going to roll the Steelers this weekend, 31-13 type game.

I think we win but smells like a low scoring game to me

It’s the sum of many parts IMO. The Panthers just aren’t as bad as their record shows. KC had to beat them with a FG as time expired. When you combine the poor QB play and missed tackles it was bound to be close.

At the end of the day it’s a win and hopefully one with no major injuries.

 

[unckeyherb]

Since the bye week and getting cooper into the mix they’ve given up 16, 3, 17, 23, 6, 18, 20, 19 & 16 points. That’s pretty elite level stuff. The thing is, I don’t even feel like they are getting a ton of sacks, interceptions or forced fumbles. They are just getting stops. If the turnovers start to hit a little more regularly, they’re gonna be scary.

Yessir a W is a W is a W!

Panthers last 4 weeks have 1 win, took 2 teams to OT and barely lost to the Chiefs.

Onto the Steelers!

7th overall defense, 4th against the run, 18th against the pass
16 overall offense, 23rd passing, 9th rushing
PPG: 10th O, 5th PPG

Game is not going to be "easy" as some people think.

Somethings gotta give: Eagles have never beat Russell Wilson, ever. Steelers haven't won in Philly in the Super Bowl era.

Yeah dude! The coverage has been INCREDIBLE this year! Need a little more pass pressure and those turnovers start coming, like the INT Carter forced to CJ yesterday.

DeJean got taken to school yesterday, but hoping he learns and grows from it. He's been phenomenal so far.
