Seriously Eagles fans, stop getting pissy about your QB and actually READ POSTS.
yes, but you are implying it's his fault for not pushing the ball down the field and have implied it in multiple posts.

Barwin has had some big games against us, too. That's the match-up though. Last few years, the Eagles line has just taken our lunch money in the trenches. Outside of the opening drive last season that went about as perfectly as a drive could go for us, its been pretty dominating performance for the Eagles Dline. Eli eventually starts to see ghosts, plays skittish as hell and the game is lost.
We'll see if its any different this year but honestly McAdoo needs to realize that the Eagles cornerbacks are trash. We have an unfavorable match-up in the trenches but our WR's should be be eating those CB's alive if we can get Eli a bit of time. Especially Odell. We need to push the ball down the field.

Man Zeke wasn't even a problem in the main game. we held him to like 76 until OT.
Old ass Darren sproles had more rushing yards up until OT.
Prescott, Bryant, your fucking Punter (smh) and Doug Pederson/our Wrs were our biggest issues.
We helped you guys with that 60yd run that got called back

I didn't imply anything. I outright STATED that he isn't doing it because he is being coached to get the ball out quickly, as I posted here.
The problem isn't my posts, it's that for whatever reason you Eagles fans are virgin sensitive to any posts about your QB.

All the love Carr is getting today is convincing me more and more that the Raiders will lay an egg in primetime against Denver

How does the game compare to other snf games?
FWIW I've mostly agreed with your assessment so far. I don't know if Wentz has a lack of faith in his receivers or Doug just is refusing to draw up those deep plays, but it's been frustrating to watch. Our receivers haven't been able to get separation, and maybe Wentz is a little afraid of tossing up those contested balls after his back-to-back ints game against the Vikings. I'm not too worried about dink-and-dunk, Wentz mostly was making the correct reads and was accurate, if the receivers could just hold on to balls that game would've gone better. So there was no reason to really move away from what was working in that sense. I'm just more worried that he'll get too comfortable with that, and when(if) we get him a reliable deep threat, he'll just be too conditioned to taking the underneath routes. Seriously, get Jeffery in the offseason and draft one of these stud RBs, then just spend the rest of the draft getting a new LB and CB and OL depth. Then hopefully Wentz will be able to push the ball downfield more.
Let's hope!
That was fun
It helps that the NFL is killing itself this year.
Doesnt the Raiders D suck? That's probably a bigger issue.

Denver's offense isn't scaring anybody

Wasn't your front office talking about getting Torrey Smith? I wouldn't worry too much about Wentz getting complacent, but the offense has to change. Defenses have just been crowding Wentz recently. Even if you don't have the horses, you have to force the issue to keep the D honest. I suspect though as a former QB Pederson doesn't want to risk the turnovers lest it get to Wentz mentally.
There's rumors about Smith, but the FO has denied it, just like Jeffery. Though of course they are, if they come out and say they're aggressively looking into it and then it doesn't happen, the WRs on the team know the coach has no faith in them. I doubt something gets done before the deadline, they'll probably just wait until the offseason. I'd take Torrey Smith, he's a great deep threat but not the true #1 we could really use. But he'll probably be the best available unless Jeffery is willing to take reduced play to come play here.

Can somebody please reassure me that Pagano is getting fired at the end of this season.
You mean extended?

my bad. I literally read everything you posted except the last sentence about the coaching. I just skipped it due to the fact I'm still extremely pissed about last night and looking for anything to let me rage more. So I jumped the gun there.

That would be funny to see and would be a ok hire for the youth on the team for the Jags.. at least for the short term
I'm sorry he got extended.. that's my fault

because donuts are fattening and i don't want to eat the whole thing
eat half of one like me you fatty
A number one receiver would change everything. I mean the difference in the game last night couldn't have been more clear when DGB dropped a catchable ball near the goal line that would have setup a touchdown and a 14 point lead while on the opposite end Dez catches a ball thrown up for grabs with defenders draped all over him that sends the game into overtime.

Hmm that's kinda surprising. I guess Prescott and Wentz aren't big draws yet?
There were a lot of good NFL games yesterday so maybe the ratings will pick up? Unfortunately MNF is another laugher.

Possibly that plus Game 5 was huge for both teams as well.

Indians haven't won the World Series in almost 70 years ,Cubs haven't in over a Century. History is being made,
Wentz and Prescott are both no name rookies. Garbage game was expected.

"History being made" is still lower than the ratings from the 2009 World Series though. Which apparently the 2009 was still lower than anything before 2005 except for the 2000 World Series.
Maybe SNF getting beat out is indicative of overall viewership being down and the last 6 years of bad World Series ratings.
I do think it has something to do with two no name rookies. It's still kind of odd considering that NFC East games are usually gigantic draws.
edit: scratch that, 15.3 is the highest since the 2004 World Series. I was looking at the ratings for the first 4 games. Still crazy to think that a 15.3 rating would have been unthinkably low in the 80s and early 90s.

WAAAY more viewing options now. Remember, in the 80s you would be lucky to catch a handful of out of market games per year, so the playoffs were a massive event for every sport.

Possible last game of the World Series vs just a regular season game.
All the real sports fans were watching the walking dead like me though

Yeah, this isn't quite the Pinkston/Thrash era, but pretty close, our WRs are pitiful. Given how aggressive they were last offseason tackling our major deficiencies (OL, 2nd safety, LB), I think Howie will make a big play for a WR. Just sucks because aside from Jeffery there doesn't seem to be much. Also looks like a pretty weak WR draft class. I'll take Smith, I'm just a little leery of his contract. If they do get him I hope he restructures. It also sucks that DGB had those drops, he was having a pretty good game otherwise. Dez really bailed Dak out a few times, who was looking a lot more like a rookie

In their last 242 offensive plays the eagles have one that has gone for more then 30 yards. The play calling on offense is beyond terrible. I hate the way they use huff. He is quick and can make guys miss in space, so every okay to him is a quick screen 3 yards behind the Los, and he is expected to make 2 guys miss. It is so stupid and they just keep doing it every game.

Yeah that makes sense.
The NFL still had the highest viewership of the day though with Green Bay and Atlanta!
Also interesting to note is that SNF still won viewership amongst 18-49 year olds...well until it didn't later on.
yyyyep
Well he can't win off the line and he can't catch (he's an Eagles receiver after all) so throwing him bubble screens and swing passes is about all they can do. I would like to see some more hand offs to him though. Jet sweep, end around, that sorta stuff.
Legend. Had a near HoF career with far worse QBs than his contemporaries. But the way his career ended was bad. Quit on his last three teams
