Agree - although I guess you never know 🙏 Definitely been a couple guys who have come back "early" from torn biceps / triceps and ripped it off again first game as they rushed it too much to try and get back for post season - it's just not had enough time to actually reattach (Brandon Graham was one, can't remember the other)

Back to the OP - hard disagree. Its verging on nonsense. I can see the logic tracking with a substandard QB - "well the scheme would work if he could just execute it properly" But it falls apart when you see multiple years. There are a few blowhards on here diving into posts effectively saying 17 is not executing properly, this guy was open, that guy was open, he should have thrown that away blah, blah, blah - as though Allen just appeared on planet earth. In that case how did he execute it properly last year? To the tune of historic low turnovers and an MVP!?! Is he not trying any more? Did he just forget? The reality is DCs spent time studying how to beat it* - and they are regularly doing so now. And so it looks crappy. And that is directly correlated to the OC just running it back - which is an OC issue. Not a QB issue. *Something to think about for Babich and McClappy 🤣🤣 They do tend to adjust well second half - but it makes you think that what they saw in the first half was different than they expected - I. E. They ran into a good OC!

Any chance of an admission that you are the one with the schtick!?!? No, didn't think so. The rest of us were right the whole time 🤷🏽‍♂️ No joy in it, but worth pointing out given the amount of wanky replies that appear when you criticise the obvious shitshow we have been watching in the pass game for 2 years

Drugs are bad for you!!

Why do people insist on repeating this nonsense talking point? For that to be true it means only Parsons, TJ Watt, Garrett and Crosby could ever get a sack 🤣 What you mean is the GM thought that was a better use of 20m than alternative option A, B or C Hunter played last night. 2 years 49m Bonito 26.5m Burns leading the whole damn NFL for 28m Van Ginkel 23m Josh Sweat 18m Plenty actual difference makers were out there these last couple years

Not sure "well it probably might happen" is a strong enough plan - but here's hoping! If we get there, they need to get their heads out their ass to even find out if this is true or not

I agree somewhat in principle* but the issue will always be that the draft involves SOME luck - so you can't quantify what you are getting as well as you can quantify what you have. That said, one of Beane's biggest issues is undoubtedly wanting to pay his own quite good draft picks - he actually doesn't do well quantifying players he HAS seen, which is just plain weird (would happily let him draft rounds 4-7 🤷🏽‍♂️) The reality of the modern NFL doesn't back up the idea of paying quite good players - that money is better saved and spent on elite talent. Ideally in the draft, but whatever the ninnies on here say - the top end of the draft is a glaring weakness for Beane. *When people wonder how the Eagles afford so many top players - they don't have a paid player on their defence (Jaelen Philips trade ruined this stat but the point stands - the rest are rookie contracts) Also interesting they managed to do that despite the apparent impossibility of drafting top end talent if you draft at the end of the round like we tend to do (spoiler alert, so do the Eagles, they just have a GM who knows what he is doing)

Great point. Why are we always always watching some ***** work experience kid learning on the job? Eagles went to the SB, gave up too many points and went and got Fangio. Went back and won it. Meanwhile Babich and Brady try to figure out how to not trip over their own shoelaces whilst 17 gets beaten out of his prime Do you feel confident / hopeful this is also the case this year? I used to feel the same, but this seems different.

Incorrect. I'm going to be right 100/100 times. Because this coach ain't it. There are years of proof. Not directed at you specifically as I have no interest in slagging fellow fans - but this point you made which lots of people make is a total misunderstanding of what is meant. I don't work on Superbowl or bust (as you correctly state, that would be dumb / cheating). But I DO work on having a good chance. And this bunch of clowns are getting further away, not closer. For those who think what you are looking at is even in the same postcode as "competent", fair enough. See you next year for more of the same 🤷🏽‍♂️ Let's put it this way - how many Superbowls do you think McVay or Shanahan or Belichick or Payton would have been to in the last 8 years with 17 running the show? How many points do you think we would score with Ben Johnson calling the plays? How much better do you think the D would be with Fangio or Brian Flores? Everywhere you look, our coaching clowns come up short. Very very short. Year after year. And are somehow getting further away 🤣 The offence has kept McClappy off the hot seat. And now that has turned to ***** too

I bloody wish. Useless clapper cant even get his own side of the ball right. And hasn't been able to for years. 33 points against per playoff exit 🤣🤣 Which are usually lower scoring games. That his speciality, his side of the ball ffs! We have a damned defensive head coach who cant come up with a defense And I know there are a group who want to peddle some ***** about how much they keep us in games like this one and the Falcons one after half time (which is true to be fair!). Same people casually ignoring that he repeatedly lets mash units and QBs like Penix and Mills cruise up and down the field for 20 points in the first half. Mills was missing guys by 5+ yards for the first half - and still got to 20 points!!! Letting their pass rush tee off on us because we are behind. Then claiming success as we shut it down a bit second half, Wake up people. He is ***** at his job. The sooner everyone can freely admit that, the better.

Those odds are wrong 🤷‍♂️

Very interesting to see the "best fans" - the ones who dont criticise and spend most of their time abusing people who have had complaints for a long time now appearing again. Its almost like they were wrong. Time and time and time again. Anyway, we will win next week and they will be back policing negative comments from "not real fans". Rinse and repeat This coach (in particular!) and this GM (on the balance of probabilities) aint it. Havent been for at least 2.5 years. Glad its becoming more obvious to these top top fans

If you can guarantee me the win, then heck yeah!! 🤣 As it is, I don't think I could find a way to enotionally cope if we lost that game! Rather avoid it for that reason. (Cope football wise I mean! It's only a game guys!)

Who is due first!?!

I mean i agree overall 🤣 but we should at least also list his 60 yard return seeing as it feels like the first one all year!
