2025 Philadelphia Eagles - Bleak Friday (161 Viewers)

[Bigboy10182000]

The Bears defense entered today's game ranked 29th in success rate.

This was the worst performance by any offense against them all season.

I fully expect a new play caller by next game.

Makes sense. Hurts did miss games last year due to concussion.

At least we got a good CB1

Quinyon Mitchell is the most targeted player in the NFL (71 targets)

He's allowing the lowest completion % in the NFL (43.7%)

Best and most reliable player on the Eagles.

Bears fan checking in. Yesterday it seemed like the Eagles running game was solid but maybe not spectacular. Barkley was routinely running for 4-6 yard carries, but it felt like there was a level of impatience with this - without Barkley breaking off long runs, the Eagles "had" to turn to the pass, regardless of the weather conditions.

Had the Eagles committed to the run, I think it's a much closer game.

Our OL in a nutshell

For ALL NFL fans, you should check this out, terrific find and thanks for posting this
I woulda never seen it, incredible breakdown of what's likely going on during multiple plays and not just that one single play call

How much is coaching and how much is the poor OL play as to why the Philly offense is below avg right now?

The Lions are too so we won't lose ground to you guys.

This is from Johnny page from BGN this morning

Watched the Eagles' Offense this morning, and it's incredibly clear to me that they started attacking the intermediate middle of the field when chasing the game.

Vs. the Bears, Hurts was 4/5 for 64 yards.

This ENTIRE season he's 14/21 for 250 yards 1 TD, 0 INT.

I've seen enough film on Hurts to know that he CAN throw to these areas but the offense barely ever asks him too, unless they are behind.

This is a Hurts AND a coaching problem. They must be more aggressive. He can do it.

I’d have said take this with a grain of salt as McLane tends to over sensationalize a lot of stuff but Kempenski already mentioned this on Friday. The coaching staff was on board with this decision.

In his latest podcast, @Jeff_McLane reports that he heard in the offseason that Jalen Hurts did not want to run as much this season because of the two injuries he suffered running the football.

While understandable, it has limited the effectiveness of the run game and the offense overall. If Hurts wants to be a pure pocket passer, he has to be markedly better than he has been

Running qbs success have been down this year. Look at L Jackson in Baltimore.

Eagles TE/FB Cameron Latu was on the field for five snaps against the Bears in Week 13.

Philadelphia finally passed with Latu on the field, which led to two notable gains.

Jalen Hurts on three passing plays with Latu on the field:

3/3 for 43 yards and two first downs
