Who told me that the Eagles would be fine?

Without regular season success there is no chance for postseason success, the 8-8 Garrett years come to mind.

8-8 or 17-0

It doesn't matter when you're not advancing. The only thing you're doing is hurting your draft stock.

I agree but the Cowboys never made the playoffs when finishing 8-8 under Garrett. They wasted Romo's career and now they are wasting Dak's, no matter what the opinions are of him.

 

[pancakeman]

This isn't like Dak getting hurt and the team going 4-1 without him. You're seeing what a real difference maker looks like when he's not playing.

The threadjacking is really tiresome.

Who knew when your QB leads in NFL in INTS despite missing 5 games that the defense would suffer some for it.

MP has been playing extended time, like he should, he is a team leader and unless officially injured worn down is a condition that can be managed.
MP has been carrying a load no doubt, his minutes are extremely valuable entering post season.
Just like Pollards actually, so if MP needs the rest than MP will rest, its not up to management with a player like Pollard or MP, it's up to their own individual judgement.
MP and Pollard are going to be playmakers come post season time, that's my take and watch these two become hero status.

You could tell that the loss to Dallas had a serious mental effect on the Eagles. Not shocked at all that they lost again. They are now going through a crisis.

I agree. This is their first crisis of the season and it's not going well for them. They were so flat yesterday that you could they had a hangover from our game. We had a hangover too but we pulled it together and won. If the Eagles don't win the division and have an early playoff exit that 3rd and 30 play will haunt them all offseason, and maybe for years. It's like they still haven't recovered from the play.

They’re struggling to run the ball without Hurts. Not having the read option threat has taken a big bite out of their offense. It’s putting too much on their backup QB.

Not really…they just didn’t run enough. Sanders was averaging 5.1 ypc…but the stupid game plan had the porn star QB throw 70% of the time

 

[rambo2]

Cool.

Defense is doing their job.

No excuses then, right?

Yep, no excuses. You said 8 wins and we will get 13. You were way off. You say that Dak sucks and he can't win. No excuses.

You might want to slow down a bit and wait for the playoffs and have your plan B take ready to go.

They still might be fine. They lost two games without Hurts.

What if he comes back this week, the Giants play starters for a bit and still get smoked and Hurts looks good? Then what?

It basically comes down to Hurts. If he's healthy, they'll be tough in the playoffs. If he's not, well then they have some issues. Yes, I know Lane Johnson is also going to be banged up but his loss is more pronounced when Minshew is back there as opposed to Hurts.

 

[rambo2]

Exactly, and only 7 of Dak's 14 picks were the result of him making a bad throw or poor decision. The rest are off of tips, drops, or bad routes by the intended target.

Dak is good period. The Cowboys are good period. The Eagles are falling apart.

What's he ever won?

Hurts isn't healthy. If he was healthy, he would have played against the Saints.

What has Hurts won? Tell us.

 

[rambo2]

What's he ever won?

Have Plan B ready to go? I"m looking forward to it.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

What has Hurts won? Tell us.

A National Championship.

Okay. Your turn.

Also, what's it matter? Does Hurts not having a Super Bowl ring somehow make you feel better about Dak not having one? That's so weirddddd lol

 

[IslandCowboy]

How are they not fine? They were missing their best player and lost by 10 points Hurts would not have given the ball away like Minshew did and he would have scored more points for sure his running ability alone would account for that. Don't go thinking that if we have to face them I. The playoffs it won't be extremely close.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Hurts isn't healthy. If he was healthy, he would have played against the Saints.

The last report said he should be "healthy enough" to play against the Giants. So close attention should be paid to how they word their reports in regards to Hurts injury and his ability to this week.

That spanking Dak and TY gave them on 3rd and 30 is still haunting eagle nation.

Suck it eagle fan boys.

Hurts threw 2 INTs against the Bears. If it weren't the the Eagles defense stepping up in that game or the Bears had better fire power, then the Eagles could have lost that game. Can't be certain that Hurts wouldn't or would have turned over the ball one way or the other.
