Cannot wait for the match-up with San Fran, December 3 at the Linc. They and their fans are the new Vikings of 2017. Constant "we woulda" excuses from last year's conference championship game. Really want to bury them. Cowboys don't concern me.

Hurts is not good.

He played poorly today but it's not all on him. The Jets have a good defense despite missing key starters. The game changed completely after Lane went out and Driscoll couldn't handle pressure which led to multiple sacks and turnovers. The play calling was way too pass heavy and DeVonta's drops didn't help nor did Swift's fumble or Elliott's missed FG. The whole offense was uncharacteristically out of sync. The defense played well though despite all the injuries.

Hopefully Lane isn't out for an extended period of time.

The Birds passed their first real test of the season tonight with the Dolphins. Hurts made mistakes but also made some big plays when it mattered and kept Tua and company off the field for most of the 4th. Defense held their own too. Both Reddick and Carter were disruptive forces tonight. Bring on the Commanders.

Impressive win. I had a bad feeling when Miami made it a one score game before halftime. Hopefully Hurts gets this stank out of the way before we get late into the season. Go Birds.

Eagles have apparently picked up S Kevin Byard, a two time All Pro and Philly native, from Tennessee.

Another highway robbery from the best GM in football if not all of sports.

Howie really has come a long way from being put in a broom closet by Chip Kelly. :lol:

Glad we won, but WTF do we make Sam F'n Howell look like Patrick Mahomes every time he plays us? I blame Desai and his bend-but-don't-break defense. Luckily we got a few big turnovers in the 4th to turn the game around.

The offense played well aside from the two fumbles near the endzone.

Bring on the Cowpokes who looked really strong today.

For all this talk about the 9ers being the juggernaut of the NFC the Eagles have proven to be more consistent.

Huge albeit nearly heart attack inducing win! Why can't this team ever make things easy on itself? A few boneheaded play calls and penalties at the end nearly handed the game to the Cowpokes but at the end of the day, a win is a win is a win.

The bye week couldn't have come at a better time. After that bring on the Taylor Swifties.

That was too much for a Sunday night.

Ugh this team is going to give me a heart attack. Still, 8-1 is great!

That game didn’t even feel like a win. Just gross.

The final 7 minutes of that game will be shown on what not to do by either team.

We're winning despite our OC making idiotic play calls. Why would you call a deep throw to AJ on third down when all you needed were 3 yards to get the first down and keep the drive going especially with this offense which is lights out in short yardage situations?

Not even gonna talk about how bad the secondary was on that final Dallas drive.

At least the OC has been steadily improving. Game/clock management is the final piece and its really hard. See the first 20 years of Andy Reed's career. I agree that the random go balls instead of just icing the game is driving me insane. Also, we need to adjust the run game if Jalen isn't a factor right now. Running out of shotgun\RPO's is a terrible idea if you can't manipulate the math with the QBs legs. I'd love more sets out of pistol running and passing.

The secondary has been absolutely brutal all season. Bradberry is so cooked. Slay, while still solid, is starting to lose a step. the young guys, outside of Reed, just aren't complete players yet.

Arsenal · Post #519 » by **Arsenal** » Mon Nov 6, 2023 3:13 pm

Hoping the secondary can make the leap into being adequate after Byard has more time to get integrated, and Roby comes back to play slot. Good is asking too much, all I want is adequate lol.

Also hopefully it's a clean break for Goedert. If so he should be back in 4-6 weeks.

They said that he'll only be out 4 weeks which is technically 3 when you take the bye into account. When I first heard that he had a fracture, I thought he was done for the season.
