Listening to Philly radio after the game (WIP), one of the hosts speculated that "something might be wrong with Carson". He had no direct evidence of course, just wondering why some of his throws were way off.

It's called Wentzmidia.

It's a disorder where one's overall bad play starts affecting others, where suddenly routine plays are no longer executed cleanly or game awareness is suddenly ignored.

Often accompanied by an overall faking of injuries, sweating profusely, all over blush, and generally being a whiny *****.

Agholor is being tested for symtoms right now, Ertz too.

No one said that isn't the case. Wentz played poorly, especially in the first half, and if it wasn't for his defense, he wouldn't have even had a shot at a game-winning drive. That doesn't change the fact that with the game on the line, he threw a perfect pass that would have went for a TD if his receiver didn't drop it. Anyone using this is evidence that he isn't clutch is using the wrong game. There are other games you can use, but not this one.

Yes he did throw a perfect ball, but just because he threw a single perfect delivery doesn't mean Wentz doesn't deserve a significant part of the blame for why they lost.

The receiver bombed a single opportunity but a game of football is made up of more than just a single opportunity. Wentz played poorly today, and was a large part of why the Eagles lost

I get your point.... I just find it a minor point you're trying to raise. My question is.... so what? Who's saying the drop was Wentz's fault? You're the one who brought up Dak into the conversation, that's why people combated your post.
Click to expand...
It was said earlier in the post. I'm not going back to dig it up for you.
Second, have you been paying attention to the thread? Dak has been discussed throughout this thread, a thread about the Falcons vs. the Eagles. But I'm bringing Dak into the conversation. :laugh:

Let's not forget Falcons had another possession too. And Eagles would've left enough time on the clock for Ryan to re-take the game and win it..

You already said you got my point. I don't care about the other commentary. The Eagles loss. That's good enough for me. But the statement I questioned caught my attention, which is why I asked the question that I did. :)

Not sure how this can be argued.

Had the Eagles won, you'd have to tip your cap to Trash for bring them back even if Matt Ryan assisted. Its about winning in the NFL, not style points.

I meant Trash, not Wentz. Oh wait. Never mind I got it right.

Again, I don't see anyone saying that Wentz doesn't deserve blame or wasn't part of the reason the Eagles lost. The post I refuted pointed to his record "with the game on the line," adding this game as evidence that he isn't clutch. I'm simply pointing out that this game cannot be used for that purpose because he threw an on-target TD pass that was dropped.

I'm not defending Wentz's play, and have no desire to do that (which is why this is my last post on the subject), but when something ignorant is posted that is similar to some of the poor reasoning that's been used to berate our QBs in the past, I feel compelled to say something.

You're saying.... if Dak would've thrown that and his receiver dropped it, everybody would be greasing up on Dak and blaming the receiver who dropped it. But when that applies to Wentz, everybody blames Wentz instead, so you're commenting on the opposing standards. Not sure where you get the idea people are blaming Wentz for that drop.

I don't care about the other commentary either. I just think you made a minor point. The type of thing not worth debating, and somehow you felt the need to keep going with that point. So I say again.... so what?

He’ll enjoy his Super Bowl MVP trophy too, the one Wentz will never touch in a million years.

What’s great is everyone figured that was a fluke, until 2018 happened.

Wentz: 5-6

Foles: 4-1 plus a playoff win

Good year overall

Read the thread. It has been said.

It's my point to make. That's why we have a discussion forum. Besides, if a person throws a perfect pass and a receiver drops it, then someone says it's the quarterback's fault, any inquiring person would ask for clarification. If it doesn't prompt you to ask a question, then it's minor to you.
As far as the "so what" value, I would like an explanation for statements and observations that defy logic. Logic is important, that's why it's not a "so what" issue to me. :)

P.S., I keep going because people keep replying.

True, but again a lot of that also has to do with the sheer number of games Dak has played more than Wentz.
Click to expand...
I feel like we play in many more 'close games' than the Eagles have the past few years, especially with their D and STs getting so many turnovers. And their coaching made it so easy for Wentz right from the start, whereas Dak has it easy this year with an updating scheme.

I'll give Wentz credit for getting out of some sure sacks and his deep ball accuracy, but he's no where near as comfortable with game on line as Dak

Don't like defending Wentz, but this is the same kind of ignorance we display toward our own QBs, so I'm going to point out the fact that Agholar dropped a perfectly thrown pass that would have gone for a TD. I'm glad he did and I want Wentz to suck as a QB, but what he was on that play was a QB who should have won the game but didn't because of his receiver.

Now, he threw plenty of bad passes that he can be called out on, but loss No. 15 with the game on his line was far from his fault.

Its a game of inches and momentum. He had a bad game against a defense that only needed 10 throws the previous week to be defeated. They put this game on Wentz's arm and he failed, even wide open throws were too high at times for his receivers. May be if he places the ball for his tight end late in the 4th within reach he dosent take a rib shot. Ertz went out of the game and came back after either being hurt in the ribs or getting the wind knocked out of him. Then a few plays later he wasnt able to reach the ball out, you dont think that bad throw earlier in the drive came back to hurt them?
