***NFCC - Washington 14-5 at Philadelphia 16-3***(-6, 47.5) 3:00 (1 Viewer)

[General Malaise]

Have a feeling the Eagles would much rather be playing Detroit today. Washington is not afraid of this team and is playing with confidence. They beat the Eagles once already so the blueprint is there.

+6 and Money Line. Go Commies.

Hope somewhere in London Dan Snyder dies inside after Wadhington wins.

 

[Snotbubbles]

I am tired of this rhetoric about how the Eagles somehow have an anemic passing game. It leads me to conclude that these football fans saying this really do not know football and are just repeating nonsense.

The entire offensive philosophy has changed this season. In the 2 years prior, the passing game led the way. There was a shootout in SBLVII with Mahomes and then last year the passing offense led us to a nice mid-season W/L record until it all came crumbling down.

Howie goes out and gets Barkley to help relieve the pressure on Hurts, literally. Then, this year, the Eagles proudly began by introducing their new stud workhorse RB to every team on their schedule. Is this not what everyone wanted to see? What did you think would happen to the passing game the more successful the running game got. Duh, it would be used less because it was required less.

Folks really seem to have their cheeks in a clamp. Relax. Just relax.

If Barkley studs out today, this offense may appear anemic once again. Appearances can be so very deceiving.

Not to mention that for the last 25+ years of watching Eagles football the most common refrain by far I’ve heard from any barstool on Sunday has been, “RUN THE DAMN FOOTBALL!” Well….

I wonder what the Detroit Lions fans think about their team throwing the ball 40 times last week. When you're facing the 30th ranked rush defense, throwing the ball 40 times doesn't make sense.

Well, see....in football, when your down double digits in the second half and can't stop the other team's offense from scoring, you have to resort to the pass. 1) it's a quicker way to score and B) incomplete stop the clock and receivers can get out of bounds easier than a RB.

You guys can follow me here for more football insight.

When you run the ball, you control the clock and turn the ball over less. If Detroit had a do over, they aren't throwing it as much. Won't be following, insight was not very good.

one of my favorite stats and talking points has always been “when x team runs the ball 25+ times they are 13-0.” well, as a coach knowing this stat, i would run the ball the first 25 plays. victory assured!

Meh they beat the eagles with Jalen out for most of the game and CJGJ getting ejected. They weren’t doing much before he went out. They scored 22 points once he was. There ain’t no blueprint there.

 

[need2know]

Hurts to play with a knee brace?

He’s fine

Faking it?

I don’t remember the exact play but he rolled out it something after he twisted it and looked fine

He rolled left and right last week. Completed a few passes. Its like the media didnt even see it. They gotta talk about something though

Exactly
That’s why I assume he’s fine

 

[need2know]

McLain tweeting that while they are going to test Jurgens’ back in warmups, they are preparing for Dickerson to slide over and Steen to be the RG

Ugh, was hoping he could push through.

Its better than him trying to play rhrough it and make it worse or be ineffective. Dickerson and steen can do it.

You don't "control the clock" when you're team is perpetually down double digits and chasing in the 2nd half because your defense can't stop a nosebleed. This is football 101.

They weren't perpetually down double digits. They had the ball up 7-3 on the WAS 17 yard line, 3rd and 1. They ran the ball down WAS throat the drive before and instead of running the ball and controlling it, they dropped back to pass and fumbled it. It was the turning point of the game. Two drives later, down 3, after once again running the ball successfully (2 rushes for 75 yards) and getting a TD. They once again turn the ball over on a passing play.

When you run the ball, you reduce the risk of turning the ball over. THAT is football 101. Detroit, didn't do that, they went too pass heavy even though they were having great success running it.

Saw a headline that someone asked Dan Snyder how he felt about the Commanders run and he was described as “seething”.

I will be rooting for anything that produces this result.

Tell the bolded to the Rams.

2nd half opened with the Lions down 31-21. Their defense couldn't stop Washington. Not sure running the ball more was going to erase that deficit when the defense isn't working.

 

[MAC_32]

I'm going to feel pretty smug when you +6 guys push

I went to 6.5, I loathe pushes. Hit that and one of Barkley TD / 125 + total yds, Hurts TD, Ekeler 3+ rec / Jayden 250+ total, or Dallas 4+ rec / Philly 20+ team total and I break even. If I hit the 9 legger then I'm getting a new 3 wood and hybrid to pair with my new driver.

Jurgen’s out is going to hurt.

 

[GoBirds]

Is Jurgens injury from practice this week or last week’s game? Oof.

ceravè in for jurgens

 

[unckeyherb]

Jurgens is active. Fwiw

[ChicoCat]

PHI 31-21

I think PHI has the best roster in football, is playing at home and has a chip on their shoulder and couple of receipts to cash in from the last matchup. PHI isn't so head and shoulders over WAS though that they can win this game while losing the +/- battle. Jayden Daniels is the best QB In the NFC, WAS plays with grit and is playing with house money.

 

[travdogg]

Jurgens is active. Fwiw

I imagine that's in an "in case of emergency" situation.

 

[unckeyherb]

No inside information, but I’m guessing he’s going to start.

 

[Wingnut]

Rapsheet:

Time will tell how much Cam Jurgens plays. But this is really taking it up to game time.

--------

Schefter:

Eagles center Cam Jurgens is active. But it doesn’t mean he’s starting today.

In his 73 NFL starts, Jalen Hurts has only taken snaps from centers Cam Jurgens and Jason Kelce. If Jurgens can't go or doesnt start, Landon Dickerson could shift from guard to center, and Tyler Steen would replace Dickerson

If he is active, that means he was cleared by doctors. At that point, I would think it’s a pain tolerance issue. This is the NFC championship game. That mother****er is gonna play. Again, just my opinion.

Imma pick up some chile rellenos from the Mexican mamacita a couple booths down. Maybe some guacamole & chips too.

Eagles pre-game now saying Jurgens not expected to play. So not sure who is right here.
