Hurts is a good QB and Fields is still growing as a passer, but I dont want to hear any more comparisons about Hurts and Fields both being running QBs. Fields is a far superior runner.

I have really soured on this coaching staff. Flus and Getsy very suspect on offense, Flus and Williams on defense. They literally blitzed a Safety leaving no one in the middle of the field for one of the easier TD draws you will ever see.

I’ll hold off on judging the coaching staff yet.  Most everyone had the Eagles blowing out the Bears.  Aside from the blown blitz call, the defense has certainly held their own. An earlier stat showed Hurts had 3 INTs over the course of 13 games, today he’s got 2. 
 

If you consider the offense is patchwork (especially on the line) and the defense has three (?) rookie starters who are all contributing to the positive, you’ve got a great base to build on.

Ive been thinking about this. How do you lose games to gain a draft pick while simultaneously evaluating your players fairly AND keeping them wanting to play hard and stay in the game?

The answer is you call plays that isolate the players. You put Leatherwood one on one with their best pass rusher without a double team. Ditto Kmet. You blitz through one gap and leave the other one open.

You tell the players "its on your shoulders, youre on an island, go win" and they probably love that. And you find out who your studs are, and you lose games.

I think we will see a very different approach next year.

Also, this has been Field's best game as a pocket passer. Again. He gets better every week.

That's good news on Jenkins. ( I think)

what news?

I can’t remember, was Leatherwoods weakness going in  pass blocking? He certainly emphasized that today if so. His run blocking not so bad…. 
Is there hope for him?

I dont think its with the thought of losing. Poles may want that but I know Flus and Getsy is not call playing to lose. It is time to evaluate and how you do that is let them not have help. This is the best pass rush team in the league so probably the worst team to do that with but that's football.

Jenkins has a neck injury, I was afraid it might be his back or a knee. Maybe its not good news.

Worst OT in the league last yr in pass protection. I think he plays more but next yr he will be given the chance to compete for the starter job at RT. Also as well as Jenkins has been playing dont discount putting him at RT and let Leatherwood and (Elgton Jenkins ) compete at RG.

Now Sanborn is down.  Damn.  

Damn now Sanborn? These injuries are just piling up.

ah, ok, thank you

If the O-Line can't block, where is the quick game? Getsy is clueless, I am telling you. You can't have 5 and 7 step drops and long developing plays with this O-Line. Watch the routes, there are no crossers, slants, etc. 

Third Eagles turnover (two involving Kyler Gordon) and the Bears convert it for a TD.  Good job guys…what’s left of the team anyhow.

3 Takeaways and still losing.

It’s like they read your post.  TD pass was exactly that.  Short quick dump to Montgomery after Fields run attempt to the opposite direction the play before. 

And now Adams…in for Sanborn…down. Who’s left in the Lb room?

Exactly, it is there all game. I still don't understand it. With the way they run the ball, the quick passing game is lethal.

Joe Thomas is the answer.  With a nice stick and stop on Hurts to eventfully stop the Eagles drive.  

Jones is a fumble waiting to happen every time he touches the ball. I dont see him ever being anything major for us. I dont think he makes the 2024 roster.

V. Jones with a crucial fumble.  I’m concerned about this kid going forward . 

Velus Jones, what a waste of a draft pick. What was Poles thinking?

Velus Jones is like Kindor Vildor on offense. All the dude does is make mistakes.

he was taking flyers on WRs that have some attributes but didnt make the first two rounds. He knows you cant coach speed, but you might be able to coach a guy to hang on to the ball. But nope. Hands and speed are both attributes you have or you dont.

I dont blame Poles for trying on a speedster, but I think we all see that it just isnt happening.
