Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): THIS IS BRAZIL (Start Of 2024 Regular Season)

[LegionOfDoom91]

I can't cause as a member of the Howard Hater Homies all I see is a human meat shield, while Howard skirts by with no criticism for the roster.

Howie & Jalen should shoulder a lot of blame for this year along with Sirianni.

 

[Halladay]

Howie has drafted terribly defensively. This year is lost because of that.

 

[trostol]

don't forget...he brought in Devin White just to release him 5 weeks into the season and never played him lol

But they won't. The media may hold Hurts accountable but Howie won't get any criticism. He's sufficiently shielded himself with the perfect fall guys. I gotta go finish that email to Sam and Steve. This shit really needs to be brought to the forefront.

Who's ready to see Dallas eke out another win?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Washington is gonna take this division, neither of the Eagles or Cowboys are any good.

They had NOTHING on the ground. IDL killed them.

That 3rd and 1 everyone is so mad about imploded because Barkley missed a block too.

If you go back to the Great Screen Debates of the 2023 offseason, you'll see me say over and over again that the Eagles don't manufacture RB Catches because Hurts' legs replace most of those plays.

But yes, I would like to see more actual routes than just the Wheels. They've had some huge plays dialed up on those at least. There was the big TD and also the first play of the Tampa game was 70+ without the horrible miss of a throw.

Moore is a disappointment so far. Expected far more creativity.

At least they've replaced a lot of RPOs with QB draws, b/c Hurts has power, not speed, so more effective running vertically than laterally.

Why aren't they using Barkley as a receiver more often? Get him on a slant or crossing pattern where DBs have to tackle him with a head of steam in the open field.

While Fangio was more aggressive, not sure the struggles were Desai or an obsolete scheme.

Dallas is getting its lunch eaten.

They’re not running less. No one in the NFL runs more RPOs than the Eagles. It’s kinda what the QB can do.

While we’re at it, the one team who has technically run more than them (but in one more Game) is the Ravens, who are one of the best offenses in football without a WR1. You can succeed running a ton of them! You just have to have other things too!

I’m also pretty sure they’re running less QB Draws than last year.

 

[Sensrule]

Cowboys close but no cigar comeback impending.

What a convenient way to bring up Todd Monken again.

I finally found my hard drive with the file where someone meticulously synced up the Merrill + Mike audio with the SB52 tv broadcast. I thought that was gone forever. These two things are saving my sanity today.

 

[flyershockey]

They're not running QB draw because they're not sending Barkley out to lead block. Even the Eagles aren't that stupid.

 

[BiggE]

The Cowboys D is making the Eagles D look good.

That's too cool. In time, it will seem as if it was the default AV broadcast instead of a synch.

Detroit's going to hang a 40 burger on Dallas, aren't they? Anyone for 50?

Dear Burger King Commercial - NO ONE HOLDS THEIR HAMBURGER THAT WAY

RIP HUTCHINSON

 

[Amorgus]

Oh crap Hutchinson just broke something. Of all people on that defense.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Hutchinson just broke his leg... according to him... while sacking Dak.

Huge blow to the Lions. Damn.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Tib fib.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Oh no. That could easily linger into next year too.

Yeah, it doesn’t look good. Hope it’s a clean break, that’s about the best you can hope for.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Nasty leg whip.

@Captain Dave Poulin can Prescott go a quarter without smashing his hand into someone's helmet on a pass? By the time his career finishes his right hand is going to look like a lobster claw
