Schooled by the Philadelphia Eagles

[john van brocklin]

This is a pain that I'm really getting tired of tolerating.
The Philadelphia eagles are just schooling us on how to build a team. Is Jalen hurts really that much better than DAk he certainly more athletic now but the eagles decided to give him a running game.
We gave Dak a worn out Zeke and refused to play the better player in Rico until it was too late.
Eagles lost Kelce replaced him and still kept a very strong offensive line.
We replaced our offensive line with rookies that hadn't even put on their man weight yet and expected to be successful who does this???

The eagles followed the trend many teams now have an athletic quarterback that can run along with a power running game.

We have a quarterback who's mobility has been cut in half and have no running game to start the season.
The eagles are playing chess and we aren't even able to play checkers in comparison we play Tic-Tac-Toe in the dirt with a stick.

There is absolutely no way to compete in a Super bowl using Jerry's team building methods imo
We are the most financially successful dysfunctionally constructed team I have ever witnessed

What are your thoughts

My thoughts are until we get a credible GM we are never sniffing post season success.
We are just at too much of a competative disadvantage.

Hurts stinks as a thrower of the Football. The 20 minutes he had to throw on that first TD pass is why their offense is good.

Exactly and we don't have Dan Marino on our squad so maybe we should take a page out of their book and get some veteran meat on our offensive line.
They picked up Beckton from the Jets and changed his position from tackle to guard resurrecting the career of the 6-7 360 lb first round pick

The Eagles FO schooling us is not news. They make the Jones boys look like a joke.

 

[Blackrain]

.. eagles got lucky the opponent's teams quarterback decided the game was too big for him.

They also got lucky that their GM recognized all their quarterbacks weaknesses and provided him an offensive line second to none giving him seven seconds to throw and a running game where the running back could have broke the single season rushing record.

If we were only so lucky to have a GM that could recognize the weaknesses in our quarterback and go the extra mile in the off season to supplement him with more talent so he would have a supporting running game and more time to throw.

Our general manager just threw a boatload of money at our quarterback and hoped he could carry the whole team what a joke

And unfortunately us fans take the brunt of that joke year in and year out.

This is partly true but the eagles quarterback did not exactly set the world on fire he had a pretty subpar playoff game to the point his top wide receiver was reading a book so he would stay calm and not lose his composure only getting one target

That said unlike us the rest of the team picked up the slack and made it happen.
They recognized Hurts was possibly Rusty from the concussion time off and they all stepped up.

But it starts with the front office and the preparation so you're not counting on just one guy like we do throw all the money at the quarterback and hope he can elevate everyone else's play where the eagles invest in their trenches and running game resurrecting the career of Becton who was floundering at the Jets speaks volumes.
When you can pick up a first round draft pick that 6 foot 7 365 lb and get him playing to his potential on your offensive line no wonder Hurts has seven seconds to throw.
While our plan is to try to take kids out of college and hope they can hit the ground running against full grown men in the NFL who plans like this???

What are your thoughts

I don't disagree with much here. Hurts is not that good of a pocket passer. He has a good TE, two really good WRs, and an outstanding running game. Literally any QB would thrive in that situation. That's a better situation than we had in 2016. They have two outstanding WRs.

We were on par with Detroit last year. Look at the direction they went, and where we went. This isn't just bad luck. This was strictly a result of this team's team building philosophy. It's what they've been doing since 2013.

.. I hear ya, man. iTs Complicated. I feel Dallas likes to roll the dice with rooks. It has worked well in the pass. Take Parsons and Tyler Smith.

But now, they tried that with Guyton. And it wasnt instant success, he needs more time. But its ok.

You know, we have Jerry. Because his family thinks they know football all ends and outs. The franchise suffers from it.

But what can we do? We can just cheer and hope ..lol..

The Eagles have the #1 defense.

#1 Defenses make QBs look bad.

Soft sissy defenses make QBs look good (see us vs the exact same QB in the exact same playoff round LAST year lol).

Their defense also made Lamar Jackson look bad. Made Jayden Daniels look bad for 1st matchup. Russell Wilson, Burrow all looked bad against them.

Losers use luck as an excuse...to make themselves feel better...instead of looking at the cold uncomfortable facts, and then looking at urself in the mirror

Watching Jerry run this team is like driving your brand new truck home from the dealership hitting a traffic jam and a hail storm.

Watching all the little dents appear on the hood of your brand new truck and not being able to do a single thing about it trapped with cars on every side.

That's where we are as fans trapped watching Jerry get his gambling fix in the second round of the draft go cheap stay relevant hire a coach that makes him comfortable avoid participating in free agency and every other thing that goes against the way good teams build a football team

........ its all perspective. But that dives deeper into mental substance levels. .

..in the Irony of all this. Jerry thinks, he's doing good job. .

The Eagles FO isn’t schooling anyone. Lurie runs his franchise similar to almost every other NFL franchise. If anything, Jerry Jones is schooling the other 31 franchises...on how not to do it.

When you're a billionaire no one has the guts to tell you how bad a job you're doing no one wants to get cut out of the inheritance

 

[Blue64]

We have a senile egomaniac as an owner that thinks there's nobody else capable of running his football team....despite 30 years of failure

If Jerry bought the Eagles...he'd probably pretty quickly fire Howie Roseman, because despite Roseman obviously running circles around Jerry, Jerry would want to call the shots.

He's infantile. The only hope is that when Jerry dies, his idiot son is at least sensible enough to realize he's a big dope and he just hire someone else to run the team. But frankly, I think Daddy has just indoctrinated him to think The Jones' know best.

The joneses do know best…
At making money that is, all their idiotic, stupid assenine moves keep the cowboys in the news and that translates to $$$

Which translates to the most valuable franchise in the world even though they’ve done nothing for almost 30 years…

Ultimately we the fans are to blame… because we and the media keep lapping up Jerry’s lies every single time.

Jerry is a genius… and his idiot son will be too… you’ve already seen glimpses.
