Yes, let’s listen to the Twitter account that has a history of erroneous reporting than the actual person involved. No sign of sticking your head in the sand with that tactic
Then why are they playing so poorly? They were 10-1.

:laugh: You think he’s going to say publicly yes he’s a lockeroom cancer? :laugh:
with that perspective, everyone on every team is a lockerroom cancer because they all would deny it if asked.

Did you notice when the porous Twitter account posted this story that Dianna Russini did not corroborate it? Jay Glazer did not add to what he’s heard on the incident? Not even Ian Rappoport. It is their livelihood: superstar player creates drama, time to make that sweet insider money. Adam Shefter, Mr. TMZ of NFL, hasn’t heard hide nor hair of this. Mum’s the word. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this story.

He says in the interview I posted, it’s on them as players to be better
They have issues beyond just playing better. They have real deficiencies on defense. They are weak at LB and in the secondary. It looks like they overvalued Jordan Davis too. Offensively, they seem fine although I think Hurts is clearly not as efficient as last year. Which is the real Hurts, the one last year or the one this year that is missing guys and turning the ball over a lot?

Throw in two new coordinators and you get what you get. Philly is still a good team but it looks like the team/fanbase overvalued how talented they were relative to the other top teams in the league.

Now of course they will put on a happy face today, like the AJ Brown interview, and use that as some sort of rallying cry. And maybe the whip the Giants this weekend. But the real test will be that first round when they likely face a team that can move the ball through the air.

Havent read what he is upset about?

I hope its not touches.

I watched two games back to back of Eagles like 5 weeks ago...both games Hurts threw to the guy like every play. Im not overexaggerating by much. I was surprised the other teams werent sitting on him for INT's. I guess it was bad secondaries and Brown was eating them alive. Regardless...Hurts went to the guy like every pass play.

Not sure the team (players) are fractured...I think they ALL might be over their coaches though (and management may be too).

Their still a very talented team.....they may fire all the coaches and be fine next year.

I could see Kelce leaving though

History repeats itself...

We are so lucky to have a hi character team guy as our no. 1 WR and not a diva.
Hold on there. This was just a few months ago...

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38653256/cowboys-ceedee-lamb-admits-being-frustrated-loss-49ers

"In last weekend's 42-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Lamb, who caught four passes for 49 yards, was visibly upset, standing off to the side and at times disengaged from his teammates, including Dak Prescott..."

I love CD, so let's not pass AJ off completely as a diva character thing, and act all holier than thou about our players. CD was no different, just to a lesser extent. Good times and bad times can do different things to different players. Seems that WRs seem to get the most attention on that front.

That being said, happy to see Philly imploding. Hope it keeps up, but slowly so we can savor it longer haha.

Somewhere in Kansas City, Andy Ried is chuckling to himself.

A talented but divisive star receiver is unhappy in Philadelphia and it's dividing the lockerroom.....deja vu.

Unfortunately they’re pretty mentally tough and tight knit.
As long as they win. Every single team begins to show cracks when they start losing. Everybody loves everybody when it's all sunshine and rainbows.
