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

If you're Hurts, this is a type of week where losing the game could also mean losing the locker room.

He’s like 2-12 In Last 14 games.
The room is lost

hand it off bitches

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

Barkley still has amazing burst at this point. Tremendous athlete.

 

[litflyersfan]

Finally!

 

[bennysflyers16]

Don’t use that guy tho. Put it all in Hurts hands.

 

[Svechhammer]

Lol well ok Saquan

 

[Halladay]

That is why they paid him.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Hurts scoring a TD today has zero % chance of happening.

And they won’t kick FGs. Games over

Never had to?

 

[Chinatown88]

Running behind the mucho dinero left side of the OLine. Who would've thought.

I was against it because it turns the discussion around the team to utter dogshit. But I truly get thinking he’s a rule-breaking talent. I’m so tired of these guys getting wasted for their whole careers.

I don’t care if he walks off. There’s no way he should finish this game. I will yell.

I still haven’t seen a replay either. Was it dirty?

Looked dirty af in real time, alternate angle shows he got him in the back as initial point of contact (if we’re talking head shot).

But there’s no reason for him to be even trying for a hit. Smith was already wrapped up, being driven backward (so fwd progress had stopped), and was actually also already going down.


Just completely unnecessary

 

[Van Buren Boy]

they'll win when they really shouldn't

The Saints dont even have 100 yards on offense.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The only thing I can think of is it would look poorly after you fired Pederson pretty quickly after the first sign of trouble too. I don’t know if they’re building a reputation amongst the league for a team that has sky high expectations & a GM who will throw his head coach under the bus first chance he gets.

The thing is they don't care as is. They have the ability to hire their stooge HC's and seemingly can entice "top" assistants by giving them more control then a typical coordinator would get. Good for someone like Moore in that he could use that to get a HC job somewhere and good for someone like Fangio who doesn't want to be a HC.

This is where I am with it. It doesn't have to be a head shot to be unnecessary roughness. Just a total cheap shot on a play that should have been whistled dead a second earlier.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Now watch the fan boys blame the defense if saints are able to score.

 

[Flybynite]

Was that Howard Eskin on the Eagles sideline? Dude shoulda been banned across all sports and venues lol.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Oh my God. Darnold is down. This is huge.

Poor guy is literally cursed to never have anything good beyond a month

He's always on the sidelines.

You can make him run like in 2022 or you don’t have a QB. Remember how many words I wasted trying to explain to the people who wanted him to turn into a West Coast style QB?

Whatever Tweet HC dug up a while back that pointed to the reason a big name coach didn’t like Manziel applies to Hurts too. Lamar can get away with it because his speed is a game changer. He can beat you to spots. Hurts is effectively a power runner. Those guys are the ones that don’t hold up to the pounding for the same reasons RBs die early.

LaFleur drinks the blood of a whole goat every night to restore his dark powers.

Can you be West Coast without the middle of the field? Is that feasible?

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Defense has done its job even if they lose. Despite the horrible last series against the Falcons, one would think holding them to 22 points is enough to win. For an offense as loaded as the Eagles, they’ve left a lot to be desired. Too many coaching mistakes and turnovers. They should still be respectable without Brown.

Perhaps they need to turn into the 1929 Yale offense and just run Hurts and Barkley 50 times a game with a pass here and there to keep the defense honest

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Gotta laugh.

Yes! In the exact same way you can be a hockey team without a PP.

Humor is the only weapon we have against them.
