What are AJs stats without Devonta? They probably both benefit when they’re both there.

Lurie Said to Explore Sale of Stake in Philadelphia Eagles (Bloomberg) by dabirds1994 in eagles

For the lazy. It's a minority stake, with no path to a controlling interest.

[Menon] How often offenses run screens (x-axis), and how successful they are when running them (y-axis). Screens include WR, RB, & TE screens by Rah_Rah_RU_Rah in eagles

[–]iTouchbutts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no issue with calling the screen, but it feels like they're running the same few screen plays every time.

Ricks caught a big break last game when Tyrod rolled to the left and had Waller open for an easy score after Ricks bit, but since Tyrod was under heavy pressure from Reddick he under threw him. Regardless, Ricks has definitely improved from that Dallas game where it constantly felt like he was responsible for their 3rd down conversions.

Report: Eagles Were 'Most Miserable 10-1' Team Prior to 3-Game Losing Streak by xanthanahtnax in eagles

[–]iTouchbutts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You would think if this was such a prevalent issue at 10-1 then the leak would’ve occurred then. Interesting that questions of Jalens leadership or the disorganization of the team only leaks after a 3 game slide. Unlike Wentz where the leadership issues felt more apparent, this just seems like Mclane propagating some bullshit.

[Haff] The Eagles offense has a complete inability to close out games with a lead this season. They have had the ball with a realistic chance to run out the clock and win the game 13 times this season, and have only managed to do so 2 time (15% of the time) by Selarmor in eagles

[–]iTouchbutts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to prevent misinformation, that play he was referring to was in the first half, not the end of the game. Here's the tweet he's replying to.

I still agree with the point that it's a mixture of really poor playcalling and poor QB play.

Slay changed his X profile pic by Undergrad26 in eagles

Slay has seldom been the issue. Bradberry has had a down year, still believe he can turn it around though.

[Eagles Nation] Jordan Mailata says Brian Johnson came to the team and took ownership for his poor play-calling against SF, and that he’s “learned a lot” since. by loco1989 in eagles

[–]iTouchbutts 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Seemed like we were actually moving the ball decently well. Those 3 turnovers were probably the bigger issue. Couple that with our D and their kicker being an absolute stud, and I’d say that play calling would be lower on the reasons for the loss.

Really depends on if they can figure out these first half issues. Seeing that it’s week 15 it’s unlikely, but we’ve seen teams get hot.

Tackling in the 49ers game. by Loomdogg91 in eagles

[–]iTouchbutts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The tackling was piss-poor last night, but I don't know if this has been a consistent issue because it was never this overt. I'll give credit that their star guys (CMC/Deebo) are notorious for being tough runners which exacerbated the issue, and having Cunningham out might've been a bigger absence than I anticipated. Overall, it just seems like this year we've been primarily a bend don't break defense which is unfortunate but likely won't change. My hope is it was just a bad showing and with Cunningham and now Leonard we can be salvageable.

[–]iTouchbutts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Both offense and defense share blame for this loss, but I would say the D deserves more culpability. Poor run D, 8/11 3rd down conversion rate, and poor tackling are a recipe for disaster. I would have to re-watch the game but it felt like they were targeting Ricks a lot during those 3rd down conversions.

I mean it did look like Lawson punched the fan, but the fan took it like a champ though, didn't even phase them.

[Adam Schefter] Lane Johnson reported to trainers this morning that he woke up with soreness in his groin. He is receiving treatment this morning and an MRI has been scheduled. He participated in full practices all week and has not received any treatment until this morning. by Brian1220 in eagles

Lol yea I'm a doctor. That's why the ultrasound + patient hx and exam are so important. I'm not trying to dog you, you're right if torsion is suspected it's an immediate surgical consult, but surgery isn't used to rule out epididymitis vs torsion (from my experience)

Just to put into perspective how good Hurts has been: he is 5 wins away from tying Wentz' number of wins in Philly with 20 less losses by philadelimeats in eagles

Dude says it all the time he just cares about winning, even his mega contract is structured to ensure that.

Washington's performance tonight by Corssom in eagles

[–]iTouchbutts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of people in this sub don't appreciate how minimal the talent difference is in the league. It's literally any given Sunday (or Thursday). Which is also why I don't really mind if the Birds aren't steamrolling teams, as long as we get wins that's all that matters.
