2024 Philadelphia Eagles - First one was for the fans. This one was for the team. Next one is for the legacy. (8 Viewers)

[Pip's Invitation]

You really hate Hurts don't you?

Were you hoping Wentz would get extra playing time after Mahomes got dinged two games ago?

I thought Wentz would get playing time this past weekend but, that never happened. Oh well.

Eagles fans don't deserve Jalen being out for an extended period of time. But if it happens DJackson10 and other detractors will realize Jalen's worth. Jalen is that good.

DJackson10 the hardest play to defend in the NFL is the Tush Push do you even think Kenny and Tanner could be as effective? Both guys aren't former power lifters.

Other detractors, maybe. DJax, never. It would require that he concede defeat in a 4-year-old internet argument, and he will never do that.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Does anyone know the equation for what day we would play on wild card weekend? Bummed we’ve blown the #1 seed but if I can swing it want to get to a game. Was hoping we’d have that weekend off.

I don’t think 1 seed is out of play yet. Also pretty sure they won’t announce the WC playoff schedule until they know the matchups. It sucks for planning purposes.

Looks like a 5% chance now. So WC schedule varies or do they already knew when 2/3 seed would play?

They don’t know yet. They went to put the matchups that are going to draw the best ratings in the prime time slots (which I believe is usually Saturday night and Sunday late afternoon). The Eagles tend to draw good ratings so there is a good chance they would pick up a prime time slot (unless they play a team that nobody cares about like the Falcons or something).

Yeah, I would say that the eagles won’t be 430 on Saturday or 1:00 on Sunday. Any of the rest seem possible

With Hurts possibly missing this game, it’s all starting to feel a little Deja vu-ish to 2022 when we needed our backup QB to win against Dallas in late December to clinch playoff seeding and allow us to rest guys before the playoffs.

Minshew couldn’t do it that week (or even the next) and we needed Hurts and company to play in the last game to finally get that win. Let’s hope Pickett doesn’t even need to be in that spot this week

Pickett does not need to be in that spot this week. He is dinged up also. I would prefer McGee got the start. Go back to Pickett during the game if McGee has issues. Besides, does anyone think Dallas is prepping for McGee. Nah, they are looking at Hurts/Pickett film and what the implications will be if either of those guys start. I say ZOG when everyone else is ZIGING or ZAGING.

This feels like “Start Sudfeld” all over again

 

[Nice Work Pal]

I hate them but Dallas is playing their asses off right now. Im glad the games at home. Hurts and Pickett are probably the most polar opposite qb combo in the league meaning I think a game plan around Pickett’s skillset and a week of prep will go a long way.

Our defense and run game should carry the day regardless of the qb. I agree if its in dallas and hurts isnt playing i think we lose

 

[Bigboy10182000]

For the 3 most subjective penalty calls, the Eagles have benefitted less than ANY team in the NFL.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Somehow the Eagles opponents commit the LEAST penalties on defense and the SECOND LEAST on offense.

The probability that Eagles opponents commit penalties at this rate by random chance is approximately 0.096% or 1 in 1024.

Vikings are exact opposite

Some of these were kind of crazy. I didn’t realize that prior to Sunday, we only had one PI call when we were on offense all season and have yet to get a roughing the passer call all season.

Jalen runs and leaves the pocket like crazy. Not that surprising i guess

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Our defense and run game should carry the day regardless of the qb.

This sounds eerily like 75% of Steeler fans during the "Pickett Years."

Good luck with that, I suppose.

 

[DJackson10]

Were you hoping Wentz would get extra playing time after Mahomes got dinged two games ago?

I thought Wentz would get playing time this past weekend but, that never happened. Oh well.

Huh I was more so pointing out How poorly Foles had played compared to Wentz. Wentz in the year he got hurt in the playoffs I believe is the only QB with 4k passing more then 35TDs and less then 10Ints without any recieving reaching over 500 recieving yards. If you look at Foles #s outside the SB run they are terrible. Wentz put up better numbers yet people drooled over Foles needs to stay over Wentz. Ok Foles helped win a Sb but they also don’t get there without Wentz. Foles numbers replacing Wentz were bad.

It was just one example of many here of people defending certain players and putting total blame on others. A lot of guys get uneccessary hate in this town where others seem like Typhlon. Joel Embiid is a perfect example of that Frankly.

If you can’t see that then I really can’t help you.

Pickett has a better OC here than any year in Pitt plus Smith and AJB are 10Xs better than anything Pickett had in Pitt. We didn’t lose because of KP on Sunday and he led what should’ve been a game ending drive but our best hands WR dropped the pass.

What would you do, tell the players to lay down?
The draft is a crap shoot anyway and Dallas drafts pretty well

 

[Ruffrodys05]

Yeah, I am not interested in who did or did not get hate or love from fans 7 years ago. It is the past. I am only interested in the now. Foles is retired, Wentz very, very rarely sees any playing time, Hurts is our current franchise QB.

For one game vs this dallas team. And pitt has won a ton of games that way

merry Christmas to all who celebrate. Unfortunately we have some said Eagles news today. Former Eagles LB #66 Bill Bergey lost his battle with cancer last night. RIP Bill. One of grand moms favorites who once kissed her on the cheek

I’m not telling players anything. You know I’m the last person who hopes a team ranks their season. I m just liking the fact the more they win the worst their draft spot.

Then the convo doesn’t pertain to you. I was talking to another poster who brought up how no matter what certain players or coaches get all the blame and how others it’s never their fault here in Philly. I was just naming players and coaches that pertains too in Philly sports. Again maybe stay out of the adult conversation if it’s too much for ya

I'm more happy that McCarthy might be earning an extension.

I have a picture of me an my brother with Bergey at Training Camp when it was at Penn fields (was it Penn Fields?). I was young.

Big day for Hurts’ availability for Sunday. If he’s not listed at least as a Limited Participant on today’s practice report, he won’t be playing Sunday.

 

[Insein]

Hurts still in concussion protocol. Yea he ain't playing.

They also just signed Ian Book to the practice squad.

 

[need2know]

how many concussions has hurts had? i cant recall another one

 

[DJackson10]

Just this one

 

[DJackson10]

Sounds like Hurts is out for Sunday. Pickett has a rib issue but it doesn’t seem bad enough to warrant McKee playing. They did resign Ian Book to the PS.

The Cowboys have shut down CeeDee Lamb for the season so that helps.

I don't remember too many informed (FBG type) fans calling for foles over Wentz. FOles made a few key plays and won a few games, but his numbers were not all that special except maybe in the SUper Bowl itself

 

[renesauz]

Nobody leaves the protocol before Friday night, and usually not completely cleared until Saturday. With players not preacticing Wednesday, not sure HUrts COULD have cleared it before Saturday

While that is normally true, the whole vibe this week from practice is that the Eagles know they're not playing him. Whether it's concussion protocol or they just want to rest him and see if they can win regardless because they always have the giants next week, he ain't playing IMO.

Dangerous game they are playing. I mean we *should* beat the Cowboys and the Giants with Kenny. But let’s not pretend that this offense w/out Jalen is greatly diminished. Right now They are basically guaranteed the 2 seed. Unless they lose both games and Washington wins their two games. Does anyone want to deal with the puckered sphincter feeling of heading into the week 18 game against the lowly Giants as a must win game? I’ve watched enough Eagles games in my life to know that that scenario is a disaster waiting to happen.

I you're defense can't stop the Cowboys who are running an offense with a backup QB, no RBs, and no WRs then they aren't as good as we think. Also, the Eagles should only have to score maybe 17 points. If the offense can't do that with Kenny Pickett, then they aren't as good as we think.

the giants have totally given up. no way we lose that game
