Philadelphia Eagles: When You Wentz Upon a Star - Page 298 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

this is tragic. i thought last year's hyperconservative crap was to protect wentz in his semi-injured state

butnah gotta run the ball >half the time despite gaining a fifth of the yards you gain on passing plays

Glad I'm not able to watch. Appears to be terrible.

2-6 at the halfway point looks like a realistic expectation

The middle of the schedule looks brutal. I was optimistic about them turning things around until I looked at it.

biggest concern for me is the D-line

this just seems like a problem that will not be fixed this season - the guys we have seem incapable of producing

the fumbles and drops are incredibly frustrating and have most contributed to the 2 losses, but we'll have the starters back soon enough

more long term concern - who is the player under 25 that we're supposed to be excited about? the future looks like wentz and a bunch of flunkies right now

i don't want to see years of wentz's prime wasted with garbage weapons like mcnabb's was

even with the useless humps dropping everything, eagles probably win if you take out 6 running plays and insert 6 passing plays

didnt watch falcons game but guessing the same is probably true there given the close ending and laughably bollocks production on running plays

eagles currently 13th most rushing attempts in the nfl, which is absolutely bonkers given that A) they've spent basically the whole season trailing cept 4th Q of season opener, B) their running game SUCKS and C) future HOF QB back there

THROW BALL

Not sure if any of you caught it, but at the beginning of the 2nd half the sideline reporter talked to DOUGIE and asked if the injuries to the OL would change the game plan. He said absolutely not, we’ll still try to run the ball. It was FAT MIKE-esque.

WTH happened to the playcalling? Where is the aggression? Run up the gut on every first down. You are aggressive on going for it on 4th down but chicken **** with calling plays.

It's nice it's working but why are we one of the heavier first down run teams when Wentz is a stud.

The offense is much better when it needs to throw! Great win tonight.

got the most production from the running game for years, still gained fewer yds per play compared to passing on the night

not worth hampering the team for 14 games a season just for the two where the running backs find a couple of holes

cowboys losing their 2 game lead over the Birds was a pretty nice result of the last 2 weeks.

Wentz bailing out the playcalling.

I’m all for aggressive play calling but that fake FG May have been the worst thing I’ve seen Dougie do.

I don’t think there enough time left to reap the full benefits of the risk. Even if they get the first it gives them maybe an extra 2-3 endzone shots before you potential just kick the FG anyway.

Most importantly, if you wanna go for it, leave the offense out there.

relying on a bunch of injured corners probably not the best idea in hindsight

Darby - tore acl last year
Mills - out since week 8 of 2018 with lisfranc
Jones - don't draft dudes that tear their achilles
LeBlanc - lisfranc in august

Was no question the 63 yarder was going in, after the first two drives being fumble turnovers and everything else going poorly.
