*Official 2020 Philadelphia Eagles Thread* Humanity will never recover from the most horrible event to happen in the last 100 years: Doug Pederson pla (1 Viewer)

These injuries are absolutely insane. I don’t know if the magnitude of them can be put into words to do it justice.  

With Ertz and Sanders out, the Eagles are now without their RB1, LT, LT2, LG, RG, RG2, RG3, RT, their top 3 WRs, and their top 3 TEs.

Driscoll now hurt... add in RT2

 
The only 2 healthy (KNOCK ON WOOD) on the entire offense is Wentz and Kelce and with the way the OL is playing Wentz won’t last much longer lol

 
Eagles' Offensive Players now out.

RB Miles Sanders
TE Zach Ertz
TE Dallas Goedert
LT Andre Dillard
RT Lane Johnson
G Brandon Brooks
G Isaac Seamalo
G Matt Pryor
OT Jason Peters
OT Jack Driscoll
WR Marquise Goodwin
WR Alshon Jeffery
WR DeSean Jackson
WR Jalen Reagor

 
Bad call or poor execution?  It looked like Wentz kind of lost a little control of the ball there.  
When you're missing your top RB and 7? offensive linemen, I'm not picking a slow developing run play with the game on the line. So I'd say both is the answer to your question.

 
Hurts as starter, no. He did give some spark coming in for some plays - and as much as a 2nd round pick on him was a bad move, we may as well use him.
Ya I'm cool with that.  But none of the "Hurts will be starting soon" talk.

And we aren't even close to drafting TL.  There's no way the jets win 3 games.

looked like poor execution. i am sure it will be plenty of fodder for the sports radio for the week. Not sure if going for it was the best idea, but i would lean it probably was. Offense was so beat up that hard to trust in OT.

Yes and I have no clue why the last timeout wasn’t taken. The play was 100% in late and that play is the game essentially. Gotta make sure that goes off without a hitch. 

And Mailata moves early on the play as well. Should have been blown dead. 

Please no Hurts or Lawrence talk this week.  Neither are happening.
This game made me buy into Wentz even more. He’s a tough SOB and as the game went on he learned to trust receivers and let them go make a play. Even jawing with someone after a hit. Very impressed with him the last 2 weeks despite what the numbers might say. I know there’s no moral victories in the NFL but we lost 28-30 to one of the best teams in the NFL despite:
- Two potential TDs dropped
- A missed a FG
- Lost starting RB, RT,  TE, and DT In addition to all I mentioned previously 

All things considered, I'm very proud of the resilience and fight of the team today.

 
At this point a hard fought loss with Wentz showing resilience and some growth by the young guys is a win in my book. Better draft pick to make it increasingly difficult for Howie to blow it. 

 
Ertz and Sanders both hurt today.  Wentz and Kelce now our only offensive starters left.
I saw somewhere Wallace and Mills were hurt too. Did they come back in and when did they get hurt? I worked the whole game listened when I could on radio and then followed most of the second half on my phone watching when I could but I always miss something do to helping a customer or today having a few customers who seemed to want to argue just to argue.

I'm not even that sold on Lawrence and this week wasn't even his Fault. Heck Foles would've been on IR halfway through the game. Like I said when Pryor went down I feared for Wentz but not as much as I would if he wasn't mobile. Dude put the team on his back that 2nd half and had a chance to tie it. We saw what he's capable of in the 2nd half. It was bad play calling and dropped passes and missed opportunities.

I'm not sure Baltimore is really one of the best. Defensively yes but they got question marks on Offense. Lamar Jackson is like any other athletic Running QB like himself. Contain him and force him to be a pocket passer and good things can come and messes the offense up completely. He didn't even throw for 200 yards today. He also beat us with his legs more so then his arm too. 

I watched Wentz in college. He took a few beatings and why I was so impressed with him then. Yes NDST is one of the best teams in the non Div 1 but he didn't always play with the best of Lines and played hurt a few times. We're talking about a guy who stayed in the game for one more play and threw a TD with a torn ACL. Most QB's are coming out of the game the minute they tear it. Yes he's been a bit injury prone but that doesn't make him soft in anyway. We aren't talking Jay Cutler or Samantha Bradford here who are leaving for a hangnail. Wentz gets hit and takes some really solid hits and just gets back up again. If I were him after these hits I'd start smiling and patting the defender on the helmet and say good hit. Nothing PO's a defender more and makes them make a mistake more then an offensive skilled played getting the boom stick laid on them and popping up with a smile and saying good hit buddy.n

 
You’re right. A team coming off of being 14-2 last year and following that trash up with a 5-1 while only losing to the SB champs really does leave this in question. 
Bal has a great defense it's their offense that's questionable. KC drew up how you stop the offense. Contain Jackson and don't miss opportunities on Offense and Baltimore is beatable. They aren't this scary team many think they are. They are beatable. Tenn couldn't Contain Jackson in the playoffs but they did run it over 30 Plus times which keeps them off the field. The Eagles had numerous opportunities to win today and Baltimore kicked FGs on chances they should've had TD scoring drives on. 

 
KVon got a stinger on a punt coverage where he took out the returner but apparently he got the worst of it. Never came back.

I think we need to start worrying about the kicker again. He's missed 2 key FGs in back to back weeks now. Not saying we win if he hits either but it would have been better.

We didn’t need the stuff past the second sentence.

Wallace was hurt in the first half on punt coverage. It looked like the blocker fell on top of him but they didn’t give us a good angle. The broadcast mentioned quickly that he would not return but didn’t provide any more details.

I don’t recall any mention of a Mills injury on the broadcast.

Last week was fine - but in today's NFL you gotta make 52 yarders. That FG would have impacted the game a ton.

 
Sanders and Ertz to get MRI’s tomorrow. I think both will be fine long term. Sanders even when ruled out was on the sideline standing the entire time. I think if here were a big concern he would have been in the locker room. 

 
Jimmy Kempski @JimmyKempski

Jay Glazer just reported on tv that Miles Sanders (knee) and Zach Ertz (ankle) will both have MRIs tomorrow. He said the greater concern is Sanders’ knee.

 
I don't think Dallas will lose much with Dalton at QB, so I think they win it with 7 wins (although how they show up tomorrow will tell us alot)
The running and scrambling ability Dak had behind a declining OL is extremely underrated. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Dalton have a couple solid games but overall it’s a recipe for disaster.

The only thing that could happen is that they will finally run Elliot more. That's how they can win some games. Keep that defense off the field.

I wouldn't be shocked with a sort week they rule them out especially considering we're playing the Giants. Give them almost 2 weeks to rest. I would say if we were playing next Sunday and not Thursday better chance they play 

 
This is how it looked by the end of the game for the team we were fielding:

QB1

RB1 RB2 RB3

TE1 TE2 TE3 TE4 TE5 TE6

WR1 WR2 WR3 WR4 WR5 WR6 WR7 WR8

LT1 LT2* LT3

LG1 LG2 

C

RG1 RG2* RG3 RG4

RT1 RT2 RT3

DE1 DE2 DE3 DE4

DT1 DT2 DT3 DT4

LB1 LB2 LB3 LB4 LB5 LB6

CB1 CB2 CB3 CB4 CB5 CB6

S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6

(* counting Peters as LT2/RG2)

 
Doug Pederson says on 94.1 WIP he should have called a timeout before the 2-point conversion. He said they exhausted just about all their RZ plays throughout the game.

JFC Doug. These are happening weekly at this point. 

 
Then call something that worked before. You're allowed to do that. 
Seems like every other Monday on 94.1 is a “yeah I should have done blah blah blah” lately. This wasn’t even a complicated thing either. The play is in late and everything was rushed. Call the damn time out!!

I'm a firm believer that head coaches should not be play callers or GMs. If you want to be the play caller, be an OC. When you're responsible for too much you make stupid, simple mistakes like this. Good leaders hire good people and delegate.

I just don’t recall mental errors like these in the past. Traditionally he made good, well thought out moves in pressure situations. He seems to be pressing so much this year and it’s costing him.
