2025 Philadelphia Eagles - Nakobe practices! Brush up on mint formations and tite fronts with “jack” backers, fellas. (87 Viewers)

Is AJ breaking up with us?

He grabbed his keys and said he was just going out for smokes.

Just friggin fix the passing offense man. This isn't THAT hard....

You can't fix the passing offense because Hurts cannot sustain a passing offense. He's running QB first and foremost. He runs because he can't pass very well and the offense is built around that, not passing. Heck, even running he can barely get over the goal line w/out needing help.

When the tush push gets banned next year he's going to be in trouble.

JFC, would you quit with the anti tush push stuff? It is NOT what has made Hurts effective, that's an absurd statement that has been debunked statistically numerous times

Just because you disagree with it does not make it "debunked".

Your opinion is greatly appreciated but don't try to pass that off as fact.

Packers fan right? Tied the Cowboys right?

Let me know if I'm wrong, trying to set a foundation of reality here

Distraction won't work. Regardless of whatever team I may root for, that doesn't change the fact that Hurts isn't a very good passer.

I realize you want to change the narrative because, well, SIDEZ!!!, but looking to attack the messenger is not how you win arguments.

You are coming into a thread of the Super Bowl Champs from last year, who are off to a 4-0 start while not looking good at all - but beating 2 for sure playoff teams, probably another in the Chiefs, but also beating the team you guys literally just tied with, while they were at full strength.

Might want to look into the mirror to see who is trying to distract who

Hurts is 4 win away from breaking the all-time record for most wins in a row by a QB.

You guys are letting a poster who's team just tied the Cowboys, a team that a Hurts led team beat multiple times last season. You're letting that guy derail the thread with demurrer arguments?

See the post above. Ad-Hominem attacks don't disprove my argument and they certainly don't prove yours.

You should learn what demurrer means. Here is a translation: Even if everything you said was true . . . so what?

You're argument is a nothing argument because the things that you're arguing really don't matter when it comes to being a winning QB.

Not talking about the Eagles, I'm talking about Hurts. Is there some kind of Eagles Review Board I have to submit questions to in order to get a topic to talk about approved?

Be better than using Ad-Hominem attacks at posters simply because you don't want discuss and/or face a topic.

Saying a person is using a demurrer argument isn't an ad hominem attack. It's an attack on the argument which in this case is specious to begin with, and not really relevant at all to what matters for winning football games.

It's not specious to the original statement to which I responded to, which was "fix the passing offense", which I literally stated in the post directly above yours.

I feel like you just wanted to use the word "demurrer" in a sentence to a) dismiss the topic w/out actually addressing the argument being put forth and b) show everyone how cool you are by using one of them fancy words.

Specious means plausible but actually wrong. Just this morning, Ron Jaworski after watching the All-22s of the TB game said, "AJ Brown was not getting open." So yes, your argument is specious.

As for my use of the term demurrer and your reply. . . this is an example of an ad hominem attack. See the difference?

I respect your OPINION, but it's nothing but an opinion and doesn't do anything to a) disprove my point or b) prove yours.

You may think it's "specious" but, again, it's just a way for you to avoid having to talk about the topic. Again, while I respect your opinion, I must "demur" on your analysis as it seems to me it's simply a case of Homerism.

The problem is that statistics are NOT opinion, and you repeatedly ignore the statistics while repeatedly making opinionated non statistical statements such as the Eagles only win because of the tush push. And thats lame TBH, at times kind of infuriating. You come across not as someone who wants to have honest conversation, but as a troll

Let's be honest here: in any Eagles thread a "troll" is used against anyone who doesn't bend the knee to the Philadelphia Eagles. That's not even debatable. You're literally calling posters that right off the bat so the only ones NOT being honest here are, apparently, the Eagles homers. You can literally go back and look at the immediate responses to my posts and clearly see that no one wants an honest conversation about Hurts as a passer.

And I'm not ignoring statistics. I'm ignoring cherry-picked statistics.

No dude you’re at the point of just flame posting and trolling for a reaction. Go find yourself a girlfriend to entertain you while ott better yet go outside and touch some grass.

I am looking forward to Denver coming to town. Not ready to predict anything yet. I have to give it some more thought. First glance, advantage Eagles defense. Which might be enough. Beginning of the season - I had the Eagles winning easily. Now, gonna have to smokem peace pipe to get a read on this game.

Listening on the radio, Hugh Douglas relayed some concerning conversations he's had with current players in the last day or so. Basically he said that he texted a few guys on the team that he's friends with to inquire about whats going on with AJ Brown. Said he immediately got a bunch of calls back from these players that told him they weren't going to touch that. He said that his sense in talking to these guys was that whatever the problem is, its bigger than football. And that at least one of the guys said, "hey man, its BAD bad."

The assumption here is that its a continuation of the broken relationship with Jalen that BG spoke out about last year. This is starting to smell like some Donovan/TO type stuff, except that they at least were able to look past the personal problems and produce on the field. If these guys can't work through whatever this is, it has the potential to derail this season.

That’s basically what I’ve heard. The relationship between Hurts and AJ is shattered. No one like I said before the season even wants to touch on what the issue/s was/were that happened between the 2, where it’s at the point you figured it must be really bad if no one is talking about it. It seems that Hurts has tried to work things out but talking to a wall at this point. I’ll be shocked if AJ Brown is on the Eagles Roster come training camp in 2026 yet alone opening day.

Most people who have said anything did say for BG to speak like he did publicly last year tells you how bad it is if you are anywhere near that team. There’s only a few guys in there who could do what BG did outting it publicly and both are now retired (other obviously Kelce) and BG was talking and calling out AJ more so then Hurts but didn’t want it to look like he was singling out one guy. Hurts had no issue with it at all.

But yeah it’s BAD. Like bad enough if it wasn’t such a huge cap hit he’d have been gone this past Offseason

I think half of this to 75% is for the clicks and views. If you look at what AJ said after the SB it’s pretty simple. He just wants the ball and the fame that comes with being a dominate WR. All this other “story time” stuff is typical Philly reporter nonsense.

*ETA* the quote following the SB win:

“I tried to feel how everyone made it seem to be a champion and unfortunately it was short lived.. 2 days to be exact lol.. I thought my hard work would be justified by winning it all. It wasn't. My thrill for this game comes when i dominate. It's the Hunt that does it for me. It's when the Db drops his head and surrender because he can't F with me.”

It you remember the game vs ATL home opener where we lost, there was a point in that game where AJ was very adamant on the sideline that the cameras picked up. Hurts was just standing there almost like it was going in one ear and out the other (more so ok AJ you feel better now that you let it out). I mentioned something in the game thread of “oh that doesn’t look good at all and could need to keep an eye on this” type thing.

Something is going on. And everyone definately seems to be blaming AJ as anyone who mentions anything about this says Hurts has tried everything to mend this no avail.

Negative. You Eagles fans are an emotional and sensitive bunch. The only one flame posting here is you and the rest of your homers and you should probably heed your own advice.

And thanks for proving my point.

Regardless of this current situation I was one who thought AJ was gone after next season. This problem will probably move it up to the end of this season. That being said, with Lane looking human and them moving on from A.J.....this is going to be a REALLY important 2026 draft for the Offense.

 

[Insein]

I guess Howie could find a way but I think the plan was they move him after 27 or 28. That's the way the contract is structured. The cap hit is enormous if they move him this off season.

Then just throw him the ball. Alot this weekend.
For what it's worth, I kind of agree with him. I'm fine with the exceptionally risk averse football that the Eagles are playing; it got them a Super Bowl...but I do think you need to deliberately feed players. It's been a while since it has been an AJ game.

Totally. I don't understand how an OC could have AJ and Devonta and not know how to draw plays up to get them open.
