When Push Came to Shove, the Champs were Still Standing. Love, Hurts on this Road Back to Back: 2025 Philadelphia Eagles Season Thread

[verbaltelekinesis]

i think Gonzalez knows that...it just makes it worse.

lemme ask you this. If you freeze the video at 0:00, who would your first read be? Would it honestly be smith there?

Personally...I'm going to AJ on the out/Goedert in the seam depending on what the Strong Safety does

It's definitely DeVonta

He's already looking that way you just don't come off an open WR and hope the next one is open

Clean throwing lane

Hits the 3rd step in his drop and DeVonta is wide open. I guarantee that it's exactly how it worked in practice

i agree with the bold wholeheartedly...but i mean presnap

IMO, Jalen is not the issue

We've seen him with Steichen we've seen him with Kellen

Jalen's biggest problem is he is loyal to whatever scheme or plays the coaching staff calls. Tonight, the offense looked the best in hurry up/no huddle where Jalen is calling his own plays. Maybe its just a 1 time thing you might say, NOPE we saw this earlier this year in the Rams game as well.

He missed DeVonta...horrible throw, by the way, you(not you specifically) can't say he missed DeVonta AND he missed Goedert. Every play has a primary read, he missed the throw on his wide open primary read. He didn't look at DeVonta, look at Dallas and came back and missed DeVonta. He looked at his primary read and missed the throw, Dallas was irrelevant in the play, I feel like people know this but are more interested in a narrative, It's common football knowledge

The INT was bad too, to me he only made that throw because of how bad the offense was at that time. He was trying to make something happen and he paid for it

Tush push fumble...ehhh. He has made that play hundreds of times with no fumble. Defense just made a play. It definitely hurt though

He's fumbled multiple times on the tush push this season...2 lost fumbles and one that should've been lost vs the Littles

If the OL holds up vs the blitz, you look to take a shot...the prob is Jalen mainly wants to take shots outside the hashes instead of up the seam.

Jalen is clearly the issue...he's not reading the field well

Idc about that late drive against a semi-prevent def in no huddle...this nikka has shown time & time again he can't sustain drives. We need first downs at all costs. This def is on the field way too much bc of too many 3 & outs.

We don't have an offensive identity...we haven't committed to anything this season

We make our stud receivers look like bums every other week...we don't have a solid gameplan to attack teams that blitz us & jam our receivers...

We don't run enough play action from under C

We literally let a dogshyt def look all world today...and this nikka Jalen just mopes on the sideline

We are gonna fck around & lose the division

 

[Controversy]

Hurts read the blitz so well in the SB & earlier this season...

How many times will we say a receiver was wide open & Hurts missed him?

Maybe Hurts didn't see Goedert bc he only identified the blitz coming from his left and not the blitzed coming from the right...

 

[Controversy]

i agree with the bold wholeheartedly...but i mean presnap

Gets to the line late and doesn't generally have enough time to make pre-snap adjustments

Brady would've ripped that shyt up the seam bc 90% of his job was reading the def pre-snap

Its not that Jalen is the issue. Its if Jalen is getting better?

KP is awful. We get that. Jalen cant be soooooo OC dependent either. Steichen types get hired easily.

Honestly I didnt think Jalen was that great last year with Kellen Moore. The running game was just dominant. He was great in the playoffs though.

Again in a way you love that he doesnt throw a lot of ints. However, it feels like this offense leaves too many plays on the field.

No reason Smitty shouldnt be a Pro Bowl wr. Get a new OC or whoever. The next couple of years has to be Jalen taking the next step as a passer.

That Rams comeback I thought they finally figured it out.

He was making that step with Steichen. Damn shame and Nick is not a good coach where he can develop a QB like an Andy Reid etc...

thats the crazy thing. the team hasnt dominated a single game from beginning to end. i think the giants game is the only game they won both halves and i think that was the game Skatebo's ankle got messed up

The Rams game was basically the inverse of the Cowboys game which was akin to the Broncos game.

 

[Ohene]

i said weeks ago we should grab him
makuba wasnt getting the job done lol

 

[Mister Terrific]

If yall would’ve said we lose to the Lions and Packers and beat the Bears and Cowboys before the season you would’ve taken that deal. Seasons not over. Just make the playoffs.

 

[mikishere]

this is the only mf on this team that i want to see ZERO smoke for. dont be shocked if hes the only player on the team to make all pro this year.

 

[Ohene]

Tanner McKee would've won this game brehs

 

[Ohene]

yea he's definitely going to be the only all pro player this year. Jordan Davis should make the pro bowl but we'll see.
our pass rush is trash btw

Yeah I tried to remind myself before the season I think I predicted like 11 wins based on the schedule and they are pretty much on track for that. It’s just going to be frustrating watching how they got there (and also knowing they are pretty much capped at a first round appearance based on how the offense is looking).
