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

[Hollywood Cannon]

Are we happy with Kellen Moore?

I am. He is the best we could have asked for.

 

[DancingPanther]

I'm confused. Wasn't the whole deal with the Chargers that their play calling was garbage and it was all check downs for Herbert, capping his talent? Or was Moore not calling plays?

That was Joe Lombardi prior to this past season. Moore was in Dallas for those seasons of madness.

Their offensive line this year was a mess and Mike Williams doing Mike Williams shit didn’t help.

Lurie will love him because he hasn’t exactly been a “run the damn ball” kinda guy.

Ok appreciate that

At least he runs motion and puts his QBs under center periodically

The former is going to happen. The latter makes no sense whatsoever to me. I know people are saying it. But Herbert and Stick were UC for less than 10% of Snaps last year and Hurts has no functional history of succeeding in a UC offense. Hell, the Chargers used less PA than the Eagles last year. Expecting UC and PA means the guy you’re paying a ridiculous amount of money has to learn to turn his back to the play in the NFL. Probably a bad idea.

Both hires went about as well as they could have gone. Moore is a good match for the personnel the Eagles have. I think he’s very good for QBs specifically. Some of his problems in LA had to do with the OL play. In that way, the Eagles are a very good match for him just as Dallas was. Stoutland will help with the run game schematically too, which is a great thing for a guy whose Xs and Os strength is in the passing game.

One of his biggest strengths is play sequencing. In that way, he’s similar to Doug. He’s also run materially different offenses for Dak, Herbert, and Stick. He’s not hard locked into one approach.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Just wanted to stop in to say that I like both coordinator choices a lot, given the options.

 

[ponder719]

Oh, God, we’re doomed.

Totally not gonna be watching middle of the field usage this upcoming season. (Dis is sarcasm, I'll be watching like a hawk)

Also should take Daniels in 2025 cause he's fun to watch but they need a Break Glass in case of emergency option.

 

[tinycars]

Should I even watch the games today? I already know SF and KC are going to win.

Really only rooting for the Lions. I wish Baltimore/KC could end with both being losers

Are you secretly running the Philly_Films account?

I was going to say no until I saw this.



Maybe I sleepwalk Tweet.

More motion is coming! Maybe we'll beat the team that existed when Hitler was in power

[BrindamoursNose]

His frog idea has something to it.

Boy when Larry David starts laying it out for you logically, you really do start to question the legitimacy of it. Now, I also have no idea why we allow kickers to decide games.

way more kk screen passes

Sorry dad

Guess he needs to find other ways to throw the ball over the middle of the field more than once per quarter. As long as that's the end game then fine

Nah, you're exactly right. That's what needs to happen. Short of someone who's already a HC like Shanahan or McVay or LaFleuer, Moore is among the best bets to teach him.

And if it doesn't happen I'm gonna be so unbearable, Striiker is gonna have to hold me back.

 

[Bigkarl]

It sounds like Moore's offenses are heavy with pre-snap motion, last year's Chargers team was top 5 in YAC, and the 2022 Dallas team was #1 in success against the blitz. All areas that the Eagles need massive improvements in.

 

[Chinatown88]

Hamilton literally all over him and he still catches that. Lordie

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Lamar took a pretty good shot to the head there. I bet that's the reason for the "administrative timeout".

Edit: heh, was apparently due to a drone. What's the point of spotters, anyway?

 

[DancingPanther]

Eat your heart out Mahomes lol

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I don’t understand how you watch the true difference makers at QB and rush to put any of these borderline guys up there with them. Or care when Josh Allen has a bad streak of picks. There are the teams that have these guys and then there’s everyone else.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Kelce has made three incredible catches today already.
