Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Vegas, Baby! (2023 Regular Season)

[achdumeingute]

Im just annoyed we didnt have a competent defensive coach last year. If Schwartz was coaching I think they beat the Chiefs. As long as Dallas doesnt win the Super Bowl Ill be fine.

Yea losing that game, being so close when we had such a favorable schedule, will hurt forever.

I think the whole fieldgate thing did have something to do with it. But they also got torched in the run in the second half of the game.

I wonder why he looks at the Eagles that way but not a certain other team.

sort of like him at his job

So… Fire Howie?

I fired myself back to YouTube for the night quite a while ago. No decisions until the end of the year.

 

[Halladay]

True as this may be, the team has looked broken all season despite the results, and have only gotten worse. Any hopes they would figure out how to clean it up are out the window by now imo

I dont think they will win the Super Bowl, but weirder things have happened. I remember the Ravens lost 3 or 4 games in a row including an absolute beatdown to the Texans in November and then ended up winning the Super Bowl. Other instances have occurred. I just dont think this team will year, though next year can look better.

McCarthy is never getting fired.

Anyone who is blaming Jalen is just a typical blame the quarterback when they dont win. This isnt like watching Mark Sanchez in 2014 ffs.

The Eagles open at -4.5. A couple weeks ago it was -2.5. Me thinks Geno might not play.

 

[Sombastate]

Very clearly the better team won.

 

[trostol]

What exactly is the planning every week? What film are they studying for nothing to change. It’s f***ing moronic

welcome to a Bucs life lol

 

[JojoTheWhale]

*ducks*

No, that's a fake Tweet. Everyone at The Ringer hates Jalen Hurts and the person reading this right now. Yes, you. Specifically you.

 

[Halladay]

welcome to a Bucs life lol

You won the Super Bowl less than 3 years ago ffs .

 

[trostol]

You won the Super Bowl less than 3 years ago ffs .

yes..but they had no plan for life after Brady

 

[Gregor Samsa]

With all eyes on the Phillies and Eagles in recent years, watch the Sixers or Flyers come out of nowhere to win a championship this year

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Halladay]

yes..but they had no plan for life after Brady

I think every NFL fan base would take a Lombardi Trophy for no plan after.

I love Sheil but they will increase that a bit with the Giants and Cardinals. Plus Drew Lock most likely. I dont feel good about this team though.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Hurts has to stop the turnovers. They are brutal. One of the reasons he was so good was because he didn't make many mistakes. Can't refute that.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Anyway...Merry Christmas boys...no hard feelings it's just ball

 

[Halladay]

We can all freak out about this team not being great this year and we will now have a 7 year super bowl drought after this season . The horror.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

There's some chicken and the egg here. Does the team not try to exploit the MoF because the QB can't do it or have they not tried to help him get better at it? We have no way of knowing as outsiders. But it would help everyone quite a bit if they could do it just enough to keep defenses a bit more honest.

Either way, I'm comfortable putting it on the OC right now. This just isn't good enough. You have to at least try something besides Slants.

 

[Halladay]

I dont think Geno is playing. Look ahead line was 2.5 before today and now is -4.5. Wouldnt move that much unless they think he is out.

Look at this f***ing thing. Just look at it.



It's admittedly slightly out of date, but 18 is not a tiny sample size in this case. He was the most productive WR in football on in-breakers earlier this year and the eye test says he's been killing teams on them since he came into the league. Baffling.

The line moving in that direction to THAT number concerns me a little. I normally don't look into these things until Tuesdays or Wednesdays so I'll see what happens then.

 

[Bigtimefeed]

One of the things we've learned is that team defensive stats are significantly more dependent on the teams you play against than offensive ones.

Dallas is a very good defense. Clearly one of the best in football. Some of their metrics are helped by the terrible offenses they've played. I'm just trying to give some perspective.

*Edit* Ok, we're calling everything tonight. Got it. Adjust and move on.

This btw is spot on. So much hype was made up by theses quote "gauntlet" games that by the end of it all we cannot define what this defense is without emotional context.

If it means he isnt playing, you shouldnt be concerned. Vegas would have more information about his injury. I think after he was announced out today was what did it. Not that the public is backing the Eagles right away.

If you are suggesting that the injury is motivating the movement and not the public, without getting myself into trouble I'll just say that you are wrong, but also dead right in your analysis.
