so how bad did the refs have it in for the bengals

I'm very curious how many times Wentz was hit, hurried, and knocked down today. Seemed like a ton

so you come in here a week after we played your team, to try to spark something when there was no ref comments at all in the game thread? Pretty sad attempt here.

actually there were some ref comments in the game thread. Eagles got away with an obvious penalty on Burkhead in the first drive. The few of us in there at the time were all surprised, and for me i got to feel what it's like to be a Cowpokes or Packers fan every single week

Let's do some forward thinking lads. Reading the Deandre Hopkins thread he's due 8 million next year. What say you to Howie working some trade magic? I covet him above the likes of Jeffreys for sure!

I think we maybe win one more. Stat line looks like Turner could be a player which hopefully is a good find. I'm just glad Bradford is gone and Wentz will have a year under his belt and we can add some weapons . Maybe Crooks and through the draft.

They obviously need more talent at the WR position. But if they do get a clear #1, imagine what it opens up for everyone else. Clearly need a deep threat and big play maker. So I guess they could try to fill that role w/ Desean again but a more complete receiver would be ideal. Then you have Matthews in the slot against a nickle back. Agholor against a teams #2 in single coverage. More room underneath for Ertz. Maybe its wishful thinking but I have hope.

Turner pretty much got his during garbage time. Not sure it is time to fire up the Burner's bandwagon.

His mechanics or something is off. Ever since Detroit hit him, he seems a little giddy in the pocket. Obviously to be expected some for a rookie QB but careers have also ended bc QBs couldn't settle down.
His decision making is good and not sure how much he does at the line but I do find it a bit troubling that our franchise QB struggles with the most important part of the job, throwing the ball.
Offense isn't doing him any favors and rookie QB / coach learning on the fly. Teams seemed to have figured both out for now but it's a league of adjustments. Will be interesting to see how he does with a real WR because sometimes it seems like he is set on checking down before the play even happens.
Agree, but what else do we have? DGB got hurt today. If he and Matthews miss next week, we're rolling out Turner/Aghalor/Treggs as our 3 starters which will go down in history as the worst WR corps starting in a game in NFL history.
I think his focus will be on Cooks. Talented, fast, and more importantly, would be one more 'F U" to Chip who coveted him.

Yes. Actually really included his name in the original comment, but then removed it.

I didn't realize this at the time but on Comcast they said that Cincy scored on every possession of the game for the first 3 quarters. WTF
Bigboy10182000

And Wentz threw the ball 33 times in the 4th quarter. Wow.

Doug Pederson admits “not everybody” played hard in the Eagles’ loss to the Bengals.
Not sure how I feel about this one.

Is he implying that certain players have quit on the team? Not good.

Yet this morning on WIP it was "not due to a lack of effort".
C'mon dude. We were all watching.
That team gave up yesterday.
Long Ball Larry

I was kind of surprised (for some reason) at the end when I saw that he had 60 attempts.
i think the broadcast group mentioned it was the first time Cincy did this in 117 games
Bigboy10182000

You see the Ertz block? I don't doubt that some have quit but it's more of a reflection of them as people than the coach. If this was true (I don't believe it is) that would mean we have a certain set of guys who quit on a coach in back to back years. We need to part ways with them. Honestly, Ertz should be benched after that block IMO.
Bigboy10182000
Footballguy
That's a reflection of the coach. No way you can put any rookie in that situation.
33 were in the 4th though like you said. And playing from behind. 27 in the first 3 quarters isn't that much.

Regarding Wentz I thought this article was spot on.

I do think Wentz will be a franchise QB but he does have some work to do.
Reviewing how our season has gone I know it's easy to put blame on WR's and CB's. Without question we need some help there.
I can't help but think that the main reason why we struggle on offense is because we don't have a good blocking TE.
The WR's haven't helped here either, but man if we had Celek in his prime I think this offense is way better. Ertz plays too soft. Hell this entire offense plays soft.
Play calling, I really liked this offense with it's power formations. I had thought Doug would progress into run heavy / play action pass type offense.
IMO Wentz needs the extra time that play action provides. We also need the play action to help our WR get separation.
IMO this offense seems vanilla.
Defense I say WTF. I guess the idea of Schwartz getting a HC job isn't going to happen. Carroll looks lost.
The bottom line is the league adjusted well to the current Eagles. I still like Doug and the coaching staff and I am eager to see what happens this offseason.
The moves we made plus a rookie Coach and QB it was bound to be messy this season.
8-8 was predicted at the beginning by many and it may hold up.
To finish the season we must start beating teams in our division. If we some how win out the division games I will be happy.

The early season success makes all this losing sting even more. I never really believed they would do anything this season but not excited to watch these last few games. They are hard to watch imo. With the lack of weapons on offense and the #### secondary we can't score and can't get off the field.

Desean deep on Washington's first play, right?

Well, we just played 2 of our 3 worst games of the year, and now face the team from the third. Not much to be excited about.

I guess that I don't want to be too down on doug and the team given that it is year 1, but it is not easy to find a lot of positives right now. Need fix carsons mechanics, defense is regressing, wr and cb are just terrible, not committing to the run, Doug maybe having some issues keeping guys motivated and dealing with the overall complexity of the job. Things will get better, just look really bleak at the moment.
on the plus side, Carson clearly has the maturity and poise to be the guy and vaitai could be a real player. Smallwood and semuolo also may be useful, so hopefully this turns into a productive draft class.

3rd road game in a row for Skins, no one talking about that, that's tough on an NFL team.

Ertz for 14/122/1.5 TD
/wooderson
honestly almost sure ertz has a huge catch game today, like the last 2 years in the second skins game.
