2025 Philadelphia Eagles - We’ve never said a bad thing about Tank Bigsby. (22 Viewers)

A lot of you Philly guys are all Doom & Gloom about this season so far.

R E L A X !

Sure, there are some things to be concerned about. Among those things, I consider injuries to be the most concerning. I do not believe we have enough quality back-ups to weather a full season and playoffs if we lose any more starters for significant chunks of time. Hopefully we can avoid any more. Or better yet, if any injuries do occur, none to our starters.

On Brandon Graham; I welcome him back with open arms. Not so much for his physical prowess on the field as much as his presence in the locker room. Just his locker room presence alone will be beneficial for the whole team. Whatever he can bring to the field of play as a defender is a bonus in my eyes.

This team is obviously not clicking on all cylinders yet. That is okay with me. There is something to be said about a team peaking too early. I would rather have this team peak later in the season.

Oh, and R E L A X !
 
With the bye coming up, probably doing the same thing they did before the last Giants game and rolling the dice without him so he can heal up.

Let’s hope things don’t turn out the same way this game!
 
I would rather the Eagles face the Giants w/o Brown now than facing more formidable teams w/o him later. We need Brown to be healthy for the tough late stretch of the regular season and then the playoffs.
 
One other thing. For those fans that believe his "diva" antics aren't worth dealing with and that we should shop him around and get what we can for him? NO. NO. NO.

How many WR's are out there that can do everything he can? The answer is not many at all, in fact very, very few. It will be to the Eagles detriment if they send him packing. 100%.

I suppose Brown could eventually force their hand by increasing his "divaness" and if that becomes the case I might change my mind.
 
AJ Brown is out!
Has there been any mention of when he even got hurt? He seemed fine at the game
Says hamstring. Who knows though.

Some people say this play. Did he come back in after this one? Game was done at that point anyway.

he was in the game to the end and caught the first down pass to ice the game on the right side of the field when he came back to Hurts in the scramble drill. he looked okay to me, but the hammy could have flaired up later. i hate that there is smoke here, hope his hammy is really hurt.

let's all pretend this is an orchestrated drama to hide some other drama brewing somewhere else on the team and AJB volunteered to be the bad guy with the look at me post. yea, let's go with that.
 
For the first time I think AJB might get traded.

Too many bad teams looking to make moves right now, and a lot of those are badly run teams **cough Jaguars BTJ cough**

Howie usually/mostly knows when a bad poker player is willing to jump in and he can take advantage.

Add a CB/DE ***IF*** AJB is traded and this defense could be just as good as last years. And just ride that into the playoffs.

I DO NOT want this to happen, but also have to at this point, accept the possibility.

Too much smoke in here.
 
If they trade him they’re forfeiting the season, it ain’t happening
If they don’t and it’s a bigger issue then publicly let on it could derail the season anyway.

He's not getting traded this season. Maybe next season post-June 1, but not at the deadline. As said above, the dead money on a trade is too much.
He’s not getting traded, period. We won the SB so you can’t fire the coach or trade the QB. Next best clicker is the fractured relationship between the QB and WR. It’s tired.
 
Philly does not need this distraction. This season is already a challenge. AJ needs to come correct but I doubt he will. I say trade him and get some help that will work towards the same goal. Not individual stats that satisfy a diva. Weird year. Mojo seems really off.

It’s been going on for 2 yrs now the fractured relationship. It’s not clickbait. If BG had to publicly come out and say somethings it’s definitely not nothing.
 
Per Russini

A.J. Brown’s frustration is loud, but Jeffrey Lurie’s message is louder​

The defending Super Bowl champs are getting phone calls and interest in wide receiver A.J. Brown, but for now, the Eagles want him on their team.

That’s despite Brown’s ongoing social media gripes after wins and losses, including his latest after a 121-yard, two-touchdown performance in a win over the Vikings, when he captioned his Instagram photos with: “using me but not using me.”

Translation: The Eagles are using him when they are in trouble, but not involving him consistently enough for his liking.

He’s clearly losing patience.

Brown — who will miss Week 8 with a hamstring injury — is loved in the Eagles’ locker room and even has a lengthy personal history with his quarterback, Jalen Hurts, but it’s obvious something has changed between the two on the field. The Eagles will say everything is fine, but many around the league can see it plainly on the film.

An opposing defensive coach said he actually understands Brown’s frustration.

“Hurts struggles against zone,” he said. “That’s when A.J. goes MIA. There are times it looks like Hurts doesn’t fully trust what he’s seeing, so he checks it down and plays it safe. It’s either a deep shot or a checkdown — not much in between. The timing is just off. And you can see it on the field — the communication between Hurts and Brown just isn’t there right now.”

The question is inevitable: If Brown continues to seem miserable in the final 10 days before the trade deadline, does something have to change?

I asked Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie what he would do if Brown knocked on his door and asked for a trade. His answer was firm, team-first and championship-minded.

“We do what’s best for the team,” he said. “We don’t even consider it seriously unless it’s best for the Eagles. We will always do what gives us the best chance of winning big. Everything else is secondary.”

Bottom line: Brown can be frustrated all he wants, but this team plays for the ring first. However, GM Howie Roseman will always listen, and if the Eagles get an exorbitant offer? Nobody is untradable in Philadelphia.

So why do the Eagles, a team that, on paper, might have one of the top rosters in football, always seem to have internal conflict?

“It’s not conflict. It’s intensity,” Lurie said. “The players respect it. I like intensity. The players are intense. Howie’s intense, I’m intense, the coach is intense. Every week, every situation, we approach it with intensity.”

Lurie, Roseman and Nick Sirianni are among the architects of a locker room that may appear combustible to the outside, but is constructed this way for a reason.

“We encourage it. We want different personalities,” Lurie said. “Sometimes, in trades or in free agency, we’ll bring people in that complement those that we have. They’re different on purpose. We don’t want sameness.”

Lurie believes Sirianni holds a key role in Philadelphia’s operation.

“He is one of the best connectors in sports,” he said.

Now, Sirianni may have one of his biggest challenges: To find a way to make it work on the field between Jalen and A.J.

If that’s possible …

Again you didn’t answer my question though. Why would BG come out and Personally call out Hurts and Brown on a radio show he does while still on the team if it’s all just clickbait? You don’t do that unless there’s issues. All I’m saying is I won’t be shocked when Brown gets traded. It may not be in the next week and a half but this offseason I could see it

Yeah there’s definitely something wrong about this team. Even after they started to get their footing last year i was more confident. This year im more like we get to the playoffs i could see a one and done being blown out again type scenario. Vibes just don’t feel right all around.

We imho made a few mistakes in not resigning Bechton or Rodgers. The offense was good last year but if they don’t have Barkley I don’t think they even sniff the SB. A good run game covers up or solves issues. A great one is even better. If you watch the All 22 from last year in games Hurts was leaving a lot to be desired on the field. Missing open guys for better gains etc. taking the conservative play or deep shot like the article says below your post here. Hurts is way too conservative at times which I can see frustrating recievers. Last year Cincy game Hurts took a deep shot on I want to say 3rd and 3 or something fairly manageable and had Devonte on a drag route right past the line to gain. He throws a deep shot to Brown that is incomplete. What do they do next play? Run the same dam play!!! It worked but what happens if it doesn’t?

Let’s go back to the TB game where AJ/Devonte and Dallas were all out. Hurts has a 3rd and long I believe around our 30-40 and had Dotson well wide open (this was trend last year if you watch the tape with Dotson/Hurts) past the line to gain. Green grass for days not a defender on site over the middle. Oh look Calcattara is at the check down 10 yards away from marker let’s pass it to him near the sideline. Tackled after get a few yards 3 and out.

Playing conservative has its advantages but after awhile it’s super predictable if you don’t take any chances at the end. Your Oline looks worse than last year and outside of Fred Johnson who are you comfortably coming off the bench? Cam Jurgens is out this week so you got Toth playing again at Center

Hurts played great on Sunday but guess what. That was the most passing yards he’s had in THREE YEARS!!! Yes most passing yards who our QB is being paid top 10 $$$ has had in the last 60 months. I expect similar numbers like that weekly. A rough game here and there fine but why can’t he do that every week?

Outside the offense, the defense has some key injuries plus a lot of guys playing below expectations like Carter. Jordan Davis might be the only guy playing great. They made a desperate move and brought BG out of retirement. Didn’t really address edge outside of a few 1 yrs prove it deals to underachieving guys, etc. Hunt is coming along now but they need more.

It’s just a lot of stuff to fix in very little time. I think part of this goes to Sirianni too especially the offensive issues.

This team needs a lot fixed. CB2, another TE either way if Dallas leaves or not with Grant on last year, Edge rushers, Oline depth, a KR/PR etc. it’s just a lot in so little time
 
For those wondering about Browns injury. His hammy tightened up on him during the week and never got right. Didn’t happen in game I. Sounds like. He’ll be fine to play after bye and Eagles just taking more precautionary approach given the bye after today.
 
Winning cures everything. The Vikings win was big. This week will be big, too.

I have a feeling the Birds win decisively this week- revenge, getting JC and Q back, NYG missing starting CBs, Kelly Green game, HFA, etc.

I think the biggest key is gonna be the Eagles’ C position. If they can muddle thru this game with Toth at C and find a way to neutralize sexy Dexy, they coast into the bye and get a chance to lick their wounds and reboot.

“I made a mistake and I assumed that it was something that it wasn’t. I just want to win so bad that I don’t just want to use the media when we need to talk about something and we can fix the problem ourselves. I didn’t add to it in a good light, so that’s my bad. I just assumed, and it made me out to look even worse because I had it all wrong and now people are going to run with that part. I really just want to win, man, and I want brothers to be able to just hash it out.”

That’s a direct quote from BG.

We live in a world where clicks and engagement matter. Without them there’s no business. This isn’t new. Like I said above, we can’t fire the coach or trade the QB. This is the next best thing.
 
I love AJ.
I think he is the best player on this team.
I don’t see a trade happening (at least in season this year) because of the cap.
I want him on the team and to retire an Eagle.

That said, he needs to grow up, hand somebody the keys to his social media accts, stop pouting and STFU.

This is some emo, high school garbage and needs to stop. There are enough legit issues with this team; we don’t need this bs

BG was just saving PR face. This was a typical PR statement read.

There were reports prior to this of Hurts and AJ not getting along. BG knew what he was doing but the team felt it was better for BG to try and retract that.

It’s why I think he’s gone after the season. This isn’t 2018-19 with many me first players and hired mercenaries, it’s a team with team first guys. Devonte actually complains more on the sideline then AJ does not getting the ball, but you don’t see him pouting after the games and acting like a child. Says all the right stuff in the media too

This was one of AJBs big flaws in college. The dude had top 10 prospect talent slipped to the 2Nd rough because of these character stuff. Plus I think there was a health issue or two in there. I know the guy has some mental stuff issues he’s talked about in the past but you can’t use that here.

Locker room issues?

I’d venture to guess 70% of the AJ/Hurts stuff is made up BS. I’m sure they were friends who are no longer as close as they used to be. The rest is for the clicks.
