All I know is, Ben Simmons woulda never done what De’Aaron Fox did.

You'll always be the "Giant Killer". Enjoy retirement, Boston!

[C4 @PAPAxC4]

If the Philadelphia Eagles:

1. Sign Riq Woolen
2. Keep AJ Brown
3. Re-sign Dallas Goedert
4. Draft 1.23 Dillon Thieneman, exciting white 2.0
5. Draft a OT & EDGE at 2.54 & 3.68

Howie's future statue outside the Linc grows 1 size.

Joe Flacco went on a rant with @bykevinclark about how football 15 years ago was tougher.

“I don’t think it should be roughing when they land on us. Or being slapped on the head is roughing. It affects games in a negative way.”

Full clip is must-watch.

T.J. McConnell is just the second player in NBA history to reach 3,000 career assists off the bench (Lou Williams) 👏

[Mike Greenblatt @MGBlatt86]

@JoshReynolds24 @JoshNeedham18 They weren't any better. Play calling sucked. The qb failed at every opportunity to step up to elevate the offense. He was the worst qb this weekend

[Mike Greenblatt @MGBlatt86]

@PanasonicDX4500 You think Howie and lurie weren't in on the decision to hire the oc? Nothing moves in that building without there part of the process. Also doesn't BP when you're qb bails on clean pockets, doesn't step up in pockets. Refuses to run.

Fully aware of how things played out today in Chicago, but I’ll die on the hill that Sirianni and the Eagles still made the correct decision.

People saying this was the “worst case scenario” are wrong. Worst case scenario was they played the starters and the Bears won too. Worst case scenario was someone important got hurt today. Worst case scenario was they drew the Rams next week.

Also, this team plays well on the road. Would’ve preferred round 2 at home, but I’m not terrified of going to Soldier Field if they get past the 49ers. I’ve always been told defense travels.

The overreaction to what happened today is results bias. Good decision, live with the outcome.

@Dontlookformeit @Dr_Focki @BaldyNFL @ChicagoBears @Eagles And you do? Clearly all you're doing is making excuse after excuse. There are plays to be had, there are balls that aren't coming out on time or accurate. When there are plays available, he's not making them over the past month

He Predetermines Throws

Hurts locks onto his first read far too often.
Defenses are baiting him:
Showing single-high → rotating post-snap → catching him staring it down.
He doesn’t punish the rotation. He sticks to the original read.

[Mike Greenblatt @MGBlatt86]

@EaglesStrictly Watch hurts play the last few years. He's never been a drop back and rip pocket passer. He likes to throw at guys rather than anticipatory routes, it's why we've always run certain route combos. Hurts thrived in the rpo offense which was simple, and they basically banned that.

[Mike Greenblatt @MGBlatt86]

@JaelanPhillips_ @BrendenDeeg_ @Outslae What pulse? He took 14pts off the field. Had two inexcusable turnovers and killed momentum with wide open misses. He needs everything to go perfect, otherwise he can't elevate this team

[Jeff Kerr @JeffKerrPHL]

The #Eagles offensive line is a bigger problem than Kevin Patullo

Reality

There is plenty to blame with the creativity and adjustments in Patullo's offense and play calling, but the offensive coordinator can't control the ineptitude of his offensive line this season. The Eagles offensive line hasn't been good the majority of the year and it bit them on Sunday.

The run blocking has not been good all year, and it's affecting Saquon Barkley and his ability to generate big runs. Barkley has 58 carries for 165 yards and 2.8 yards per carry since the bye week with his longest run being 15 yards. Outside of the 21 rushing yards Jalen Hurts had since the Eagles took a 21-0 lead, Barkley had six carries for 12 yards (the only rushing yards the Eagles had from running backs). In pass protection, the Eagles offensive line gave up pressure on 53.8% of dropbacks.

Jalen Hurts was 11-of-19 for 144 yards and a touchdown (99.5 rating) when pressured, but the constant pressure allowed  by the offensive line eventually got to Hurts -- and forced the Eagles to become one dimensional due to the struggles in run blocking.

For a run-first offense, the Eagles aren't executing up front. That isn't on Patullo. Remember, this unit has Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, and Cam Jurgens on it.

Even without Lane Johnson, this unit should be better. They've been inconsistent all year.

[Eagles Eric @EaglesXsandOs]

After watching the Eagles' Offensive All-22 film, here are my takeaways:

1) Getting behind the sticks sinks a lot of Eagles' drives, and without a reliable run game, you find yourself in those situations too often

2) The coaching staff introduced a number of nice changes, including more spread passing sets, play-action dumpoffs to flat, RPOs, and stopped running some of the concepts that got bottled up in the first 4 weeks. That said, play calls were mostly erratic and didn't seem to build on each other

3) The Eagles are HORRIBLE at the scramble drill and missed at least 3 big plays on them. Receivers either need to continue in the direction they are running (at full speed), or work hard back to the QB. Hurts needs to keep his eyes downfield when he gets outside the pocket

4) Jalen Hurts continues to struggle to find answers vs. two high zone. A lot of this is coaching as it's predicated on well-timed and properly spaced concepts to create throwing windows, as well as the WRs running influence routes with intention

5) Hurts has suspect peripheral vision, often not seeing receivers who aren't directly in his gaze -- Eagles coaches need to mitigate that weakness by designing more passing concepts with multiple routes that naturally come into his vision as the plays develop

6) The run game could be unlocked by running more shotgun spread sets and more QB-designed runs. Don't put Calcaterra or Granson on the field when you run those sets.

7) If teams want to run simulated pressures, go into Empty, and you win the leverage battle pre-snap. Despite the Eagles being a dominant offense in Empty, they don't use it much.
