Remember in the 90's we'd tell the other team what we were gonna do...and we STEAM ROLLED them? But...that was when this team "had heart".

AND THAT WAS BEFORE FREE AGENCY AND THE SALARY CAP.

150? He didn’t put up 100. He didn’t even put up 50. There’s not one game we wouldn’t have won without him. This is why you don’t pay ANY RB that much money, especially prima donna divas.

Dak doesn’t get any slack playing top defenses, why should Zeke?

Both of them are vastly overpaid at this point. Sorry, but Zeke is lost money.

Give me an example of his pathetic heart... Every player comes out for a breather.

Dak also didn’t sit out and demand to be paid the highest at his position. Zeke set the standard for himself so that’s the standard he should be judged by and he’s failing.

You still defending the coaching. Team was not ready in the most important game of the year. The 3-4 call to go deep was stupid, playing for a field goal. Not having Cooper and Cobb on the field on the 4th down play is inexcusable. Call a time out, make sure you have he right players out there. Garret is a disgrace to coaching. Wasted another good team.

Lol, you can point out a few bad decisions with any coach and not going for the TD was not a bad call. Yeah, Garrett needs to go but if you want to blame the loss on coaching by picking a handful of plays that may or may not have made a difference vs the SEVERAL plays that had receivers wide open but were dropped or poor passes then you’re clearly just trying to blame JG because your fed up with him and not because he lost that game.

Ohhhh, okay cool.

That makes a difference.

BTW, I see 10 of his teammates trying there. What’s Zeke doing?

No, no...incorrect. He was the closest player on the INT and he decided to not run but stand there and watch. He admitted it afterwards, go tell him he’s wrong.

You asked for an example and I gave you a very clear one.

Dak will become overpaid. He has been significantly underpaid the past 4 years.

Jerry has built a country club circus. Players think and act like they are something special because they wear the Star and get media attention. We look poorly coached, soft and undisciplined. I want the whole staff including strength/conditioning coaches gone. Unfortunately we can’t let GM go. But I am also afraid it doesn’t matter who we hire because JJ wants the spotlight/interviews on him! A total disfunctional organization from top to bottom and it kills this .longtime 51 year old lifetime fan!!

except it’s been proven statistically it’s not really the case and they really aren’t loading out to stop the run. I don’t know about this specific game but in general it’s not been the truth. There was a really good link but can’t find it, this is the only one I could off the few seconds of searching.

I don’t care what Dak homers say the games shows otherwise.

Bad thread/Bad timing. Zeke is one of our only players that has that "dog"... he was great yesterday but unfortunately we AGAIN abandoned the run, imo too early while the game was well within reach. The threat of the run/pa is tremendous. Zeke really started to get a groove going and he was the least of our issues yesterday. We need the same "dog" at wide out and this game made me realize the tremendous LEADERSHIP that our last great teams had including Ivrin of course. Games like this, Irvin and co. just imposed their will and made the big play when needed.

Not IMVHO. He is what he was drafted, a middle of the road 4th round draft pick. That is minimum salary unless you ball out like a Brady. If you have to have him at all next year, I would franchise him next year and then look to see him leave for a draft pick. We are not in a position to win a world championship anytime soon.

Why would you franchise Dak if you think paying him $4 million total for 4 years of play is overpaying him? Just let him go and get another QB for $450k. That’s what Dak got his first year.

Taking himself out on key plays is annoying. Is it his conditioning that he has a problem with?

his head bounced off the turf,

Lol, pound the rock? The Ewok averaged 3.6 ypc and was stopped several times. The Eagles secondary sucks and was injured, that’s why we were passing. Receivers were open but either Dak didn’t hit them or they dropped the ball. This game was 100% on the players.

thats not totally true...He was starting to turn the 3 yarders into 7-9 yarders. The First series coming out of the half he was starting to get going...Then Pollard fumbled. They had plenty more chances/ time to continue to pound on the defense.. Instead they do what they always do and pass..Mind you with a QB that was not even close to being accurate and the off times he was in the vicinity ...his receivers dropped it. at 10-6 , you don't stop running...shoot even at 17-6 you don't stop running.

I agree the players sucked worst than the coach, but 9 years of bad in game management was topped off last night.

So people think Pederson is such a great coach but wouldn’t have made the adjustments to stop the Ewok?

Zeke got stopped plenty of times and he couldn’t even handle the work load he was given yet people wanted him to get the ball more?! That’s insane.

The secondary was the Eagles biggest weakness and the play calling had receivers wide open. Yeah, Dak looked bad but there were also EIGHT drops! C’mon, the coaches can only do so much.

What you said is what I would do if king. That is not what I expect the Jerry to do.
