Just a weird time to make this thread. The receivers as a whole played their best game of the season outside of maybe the Bengals game. No drops, they were open for big plays, and they blocked on the perimeter (sans Ceedees boneheaded penalty).

The unit knows the limitations of Cooper and thats why they are chomping at the bit to get Dak back.

thats kinda throwing Rush under the bus... But yeah Ceedee..I get it. Just work hard and catch the ball.

Lamb's frequent dumb decisions are worrisome. Playing dumb almost always overrides talent in the long run.

I have no problem with Gallup and Brown is making a mark.

B- for the group.

What a mess. We have a 2...at best....most often 2.5 mental midget with a body built by Snoop posing as a 1...we have a 3 that shouldn't have been resigned, who only catches sideline routes posing as a 2....we have a special teams WR that supposedly "blocks well" and ocasionally finds a squirrel nut because he has caught thousands of balls with the backup QB posing as a 3. This corp will do nothing....especially given who is about to return at QB next week. If Booger and Chuckles resign Snoop, they both formally need to be committed....other teams swap out and retool WR corps on the fly. The Eagles had the worst WR corp the last couple of years....look now. Watch and see how long we stay saddled with this bottom 5 mess.
Stop your whining! We are a full 1/3 of the way into this season. We knew what this WR corp was when the season started. Get over it! We have had a backup QB doing his best to get us to this point. We have to make the best of what is, moving forward. The good news is Dak is coming back next week. We are 4-2 with this WR corp and a backup QB, our arrow is pointed up. We are in this fight for the playoffs! Shut up about your overhaul rant!

It didn't help that Rush doesn't have any zip on his throws. A lot of those plays had receivers who were open, but by the time the ball got there, the DB had time to get there too.

Rush didn't play his best for sure. But let's be fair, most of his bad throws were under pressure. Neither of our QB's are strong armed. They need to be able to generate power with their lower body. When they can't, they struggle.

Dak wins that Game last night btw. I thank Rush, but his run is over. He did his job valiantly.

I don't see that as a certainty by any stretch. In the first half, we couldn't run it, they were getting pressure on the QB and receivers weren't getting much separation. All the same things we have seen Dak unable to overcome.

Rush made a game of it and then the D couldn't stop them again. Not sure what more Dak could have done.

But, it is a sporting contest so it's possible. A play or two could very well have swung the balance.

the Micah Flag was a terrible 1. We may well have won the game otherwise. He messed ^.

Yeah, his & Fowler's penalties really gifted them points.

As a leader, I hope he acknowledges his mistake & is telling the team that we can't do that stuff.

The receivers look below average at best! The Eagles LOCKED them down like they were little kids playing against grown men.

Here's what I don't understand.
when you have a talent like Turpin how can you not put him out there and and let him make people miss?
You trust him catching punts yet you can't put him in the slot, toss it to him and see what he can do?
I just don't understand.
I was going to give Kellen Moore the entire season but I've had enough.

Did you watch the telecast? They literally showed multiple plays where guys were running open down the field but Rush didn’t see them. Like 2/3 easy opportunities for 20-30+ yard games, not to mention the late and slow pass to Lamb on the final interception.

In terms of WR’s being open, we had 4-5 chances for big plays and didn’t connect. It is what it is but if you watched the game broadcast Collinsworth showed some replays and illustrated times where we had chances to make plays with our WR’s.

We make those plays and the story is how our WR’s won against one of the better secondaries in the league.
