FEATURED Early game day thread

Once he gets hurt enough that he can no longer be a difference maker as a runner then he will have to make it as strictly a passer and he hasn't shown that he can read a defense yet.

Wait, what? Sure he has.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

They will stop it this offseason...just to appease the whiners.

But it will have to include pushing runners and receivers down the field when they catch passes (which we do plenty of)

Why didn't they stop it last season? Didn't they try to?

 

[jblaze2004]

It's called any given Sunday. Move on.

People fail to realize this.

He has 70 yards rushing. That opens up the passing game and makes it easy for him, because he needs it to be easy.

And gained 9 yds on 3rd and 9. That right there makes them hard to beat

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I am surprised the eagles don't suffer offensive line injuries with how often they run the "tush push".

I am too. I don't wish injury but i'd make their QB and linemen pay every time. You have to do something for them to stop doing it.

 

[KingCorcoran]

They are going on 5-0. What do you want them to say? They suck?

You know the owners wont’t. Many teams assist the ball carrier by pushing him forward. The other 31 owners don’t care about the Eagles. Jerry Jones will not agree to change the rule. The play is part of NFL football. Get over it.

 

[jblaze2004]

his forward progress been stopped.

 

[SuperBowlz]

That ppush butt play cannot be stopped. It should be banned

No one can stop Philly but it gets stopped all the time when other teams try it. Teams went 0-4 week one trying it. Philly just has a devastating OLine for run blocking.

Eagles almost lost to the Commanders last week and the Commanders lost to the winless Bears on Thursday. It just happens. Am I happy about it? Hell no. But that's been the NFL since I started watching it 4 decades ago.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I said that last week and everyone on here is saying hurts dont look good.. He looks like the best QB in the league to me

He played well today. I think the bigger concern is he doesn't turn the ball over but he's doing it this season. He does his damage when he has a clean pocket. Like most quarterbacks. It all starts and stops with that offensive line. They make everything happen.

The way everyone is bunched up it's impossible to put a big hit on Hurts.

People have become so annoying with that game. It sucks we lost it was a bad loss but damn you have one or two of them a year especially if you think you are a contender.

I heard they had a few people complaining about it last year.... a half hearted attempt by a few owners made to stop it, but most were ambivalent...but now it has real momentum....and even all the announcers are openly calling it ugly, and openly "worried about injuries", which makes me think that's just the NFL's way of letting us know this year is it.

Frankly...I don't think it will matter. 99% of the push they get is from the OLine and the QB. The only thing that will stop it is when Kelce retires....but that could be this year

That will never happen. The rule allowing it has been around for almost two decades. 31 teams will have to learn to do the same thing as quickly as is possible.

I just saw one guy from behind try and grab his ankle......there's ways to get to him. Not saying do anything dirty but if you're going to run that play you're gonna get hit.

A big part of it is Hurts as well. He's tough to bring down and all he has to do is just keep moving his legs.

Listen to the announcers talk about it now.

I think they are pushing the league's mantra...and I don't think they'd be speaking so negativity about it if they didn't know something

 

[Gambit]

I hate their coach

THIS

 

[Redline360]

Vikings should be winning this game. Keep shooting themselves in the foot. Probably have 3 or 4 drops that would have been first downs. One drop for a td

 

[boysfanperiod]

Minny screwed themselves again. Man, I've never seen a team shoot themselves in the foot like them.

I hate how KC always seems to get the benefit of the doubt when Minny did the same thing and got called.
