MNF: Eagles at Bears Game thread

[drawandstrike]

As long as they had Hoyer throwing underneath and comeback routes that 1st drive, he was moving the ball. Once they had him going for the end zone, though, it was over.

He's got no touch on passes over 20 yrds. They're out of time and now he has to go mid-range/deep on every pass.

I don't think they play a QB as bad as Cutler and RG3 for the rest of the season

 

[Gameover]

Eagles don't punt?

 

[BRoni]

Then don't comment if you didn't watch.

He showed great poise. Made great throws as he was getting hit. Never came close to making a mistake or throwing a pick.

Although he plays recklessly with his body. He took a bunch of unnecessary hits. As said if he keeps that up he won't make it through half the season.

Sounds like you are describing Dak except taking the stupid hits.

If I'm Wentz, I check the shower before getting as Gruden might be in there waiting to lather him up.

i can't stand listening to Gruden. All he does is drool over every player he watches.

 

[Sydla]

Are these the real stats lol guys take a step away from the ledge lmao I thought this dude was putting the eagles on his back and playing at an all pro lvl

Did you watch the game?

 

[Section446]

Wentz is 20/33 for 183 yds and 1 TD, no int's. Not bad but not awesome either.

Stats rarely tell the whole story, and they certainly don't in this case. His WR's have dropped double that.

 

[bayeslife]

Dak was at 5 YPA in week one. Guess that was bad too?

Yes it was. But you're also talking about different quality defenses

 

[Sydla]

Pretty much. Wentz runs around at times like he's still at NDSU.

 

[ineedacaddy]

After tonight, I do not want Gruden anywhere near the Cowboys when Garrett is finally let go.

That is a good point.

 

[gimmesix]

I'm not watching either and thought the same thing these ppl are so dramatic

Frankly, Wentz has looked about like Dak has looked for us, mostly completing shorter passes by design. Each have thrown a few downfield passes but haven't had a lot of success with those for various reasons.

Although Dak has shown he will scramble, he seems to be smarter about it than Wentz, who subjects himself to too many big hits. Wentz seems to have a livelier arm and be more decisive, but he doesn't have as good of protection as Dak has, which allows him to take a little more time. Also, I didn't notice any wobble on Wentz's passes, while Dak's thrown a few wobblers.

None of these things tell us much, though, because it's just the second game of the season.

yep. hate to say it but he was pretty darn good. his wrs dropped 3 well thrown passes. 1 of em for long gain and 2 basically in the endzone. shoulda had 3 TDs

 

[Setackin]

Did you watch the game?

No, just reading what ppl are saying. don't get me wrong Wentz has had a good game, but from the way some ppl were talking, and the way the score kept going up, u would think Jesus himself was playing

 

[bayeslife]

But he didn't

 

[Section446]

@percyhoward... We need a random Wentz stat that can't be found on NFL.com.

 

[Section446]

But he didn't

So we're back to the Romo argument where stats are the only indicator of whether a player is good or not?

 

[TRUTH87]

But he didn't

proof that stats dont tell all. same goes for dak. no need to hate

 

[Air Force One]

Still can't believe how quick the Eagles managed to dig themselves out of the chip kelly hole. Real bummer. Was looking forward to watching them suck for years to come. never seen such luck.

 

[DFWJC]

So 71 passes so far for Wentz with no picks. Not bad.
Also 3 TD passes.

Not bad at all

 

[stilltheguru88]

I don't care what Wentz is doing, we have our qb. Let's battle
