It was unfortunate events? No he simply can't read a defense

Troy pointed out all night how he had guys open and he doesn't get the ball out on time

I guess we should give him grace bc he won a SB...but Barkley and the def was the catalyst of last season...we need to rely on Jalen more this season and we can't bc this nikka is trash against zone defenses, fumbles way too much, doesn't get the ball out on time, doesn't check the ball down enough, and has low IQ late in games

Hurts had a bad game but damn people are dramatic. A ton of eagles fans went my entire adult life without seeing a championship. We get 2 within a decade and been to 3 within the same time period. 2 with Hurts. they already want to ship this nikka to Azkaban :russ:
Played horrible and still hit the throw that should've been the game winning TD. That 3rd & long conversion to Smitty in OT should've been what iced the game too.


Hard to give up on the season when the defense is incredible (even Adoree starting to ball :pachaha: ) and the pieces are there and have done it before on offense. Raider game is really the point of no return, they drop that or struggle through it and it's gonna be hard to have faith.

These opportunities to be a real contender are precious

For those old enough, we know talent alone isn't enough to win it all

I don't want this to be a legion of boom reincarnated situation...this team will look completely different in the next 2-3 yrs

We gotta strike while the iron is hot

Jalen looks so bad when he's off...Patullo has gotten most of the blame but Jalen is the bigger blame

We don't run the offense under C more frequently bc Hurts prefers shotgun...even though the offense is more effective under C

Can't waste these talented rosters on underperforming seasons bc the QB is stubborn

I get it breh. You dont want to be the Russell Wilson/Legion of Boom 1 and done Super Bowl winners.

However, you should still have patience with Jalen as long as hes being aggressive and actively working to get better.

I mean yea if he was more conservative Eagles win the last game, but long term he's gotta grow into a better passer. That only comes with reps.

and thats where people lose the plot. its one thing to hold jalen accountable when warranted (and it has been warranted for a month), but we have a long way to go to even begin to entertain that talk after last season. the offense isnt even playing close to good enough to take that seriously. this is the only team where the fans and media explodes when the qb has a god awful game. the life of being prominent defending sb champions where all hate drives the views, clicks & ratings.

I agree that we have to strike while the iron is hot. I don’t know if I can say he’s the biggest problem however. I basically look at it like this: the coaches give the players a super slim margin of error so you have to hit any opportunity that comes your way. I do think better coaching is needed though. Throughout his tenure we’ve never had gimmie throws or dudes schemed wide tf open like you see across the league.

I think you fix the OC situation and give him someone that isn’t gonna dip after a year and we’ll see good results.

I think the shyt is insane. You got overrated Cacs like Josh Allen that can't even make the Super Bowl, yet people act like he's the Second coming.

I hear you and understand what you mean about not wanting to be LOB, but we know firsthand that's a massive accomplishment compared to what it could be as fans who lived through Reid & McNabb never getting the one they deserved.

This core of players got back and redeemed the ring they lost because of Gannon, it's honestly house money from here on out. Doesn't mean that Howie's not gonna keep trying at all costs, but they're chasing something only Brady & Mahomes teams have done in the modern era.

It’s the cardinals game of 2023. At home. Gimme game. They blow it it’s officially over. Crazy but my predication of 11ish wins is still in play they just going about it in the most ass backwards way.
