★ The Official Philadelphia Eagles Thread - Part II ★

[Rambo66]

Trying to take some positives here. At least Wentz is getting amazing practice behind a **** o-line with absolutely no recievers.

When we finally get him some protection and some weapons, he's gonna ball out.

Like playing on all madden to playing pro lulz

Haha so true. What a rough time to be a rookie qb. A broken down and very weak online. Our wrs just flat out suck. Can't get open, can't catch a pass and now they can't even line up right. Mediocre backs. Only half decent player we have on offense is Sproles and Ertz.

[snakehips31]

The only thing that worries me is that it took years before Reid got McNabb WRs. With Andy 2.0 as our new coach I hope he doesn't do the same. These WR are horrible.

I hate drafting on need and still hope we go bpa but we need to grab a wr and o lineman in the first 3 rounds.

Alshon Jeffery on a discount from his PED's issues/injuries

Get this man.

[devin45k]

I don't get how the receivers can be this bad. By far the worst in the league and it isn't even close. Most teams 3rd or 4th receivers would be the number one guy on this team.

I can see that Wentz doesn't have faith in his receivers. How can you fault the guy? They are terrible and don't help at all.

It's frustrating because the Redskins and Cowboys have the least amount of drops with 3 and 4 drops. I watched some of their games and they can get open and the QB just has to chuck it to them.

Some cowboy nut hugger came to me today giving me the sour face for Wentz and I told him if you switched him and Prescott, things would be exactly the same( hell, thinking about it the boys might be undefeated). I feel for Wents because he has threaded the needle time and time again only to be let down. I think a few of his INT's were either not his fault or were out of sheer frustration and him trying to force it to win the game because nothing else was working. Any word on sproles and Matthews?

[BenadrylBandit]

I expected to lose yesterday, but not in typical shoot yourself in the foot fashion. I don't think we win that game if the TD stands, but if that TD stands and Agholor catches that big pass (had tons of room in front of him) it would have been a much closer game. The O-line really hasn't been bad you guys are overreacting, they've actually been pretty solid post Washington game. The WRs are just so bad it hurts. Ertz can't get a yard after the catch to save his life, and Wentz has lost all faith in his receivers.

They finallllllllly added Paul Turner to the active roster. Is he a #1 WR? No way, but he caught everything thrown his way in the preseason. He doesn't even have to run routes, just line up legally on the LOS and try catch the wide open passes thrown your way.

Tough loss, a loss that exposed the many weaknesses we have. Good teams find ways to win the games we've lost, but unfortunately this team just isn't any good. Even with the home advantage I see them dropping at least 2 more games due to them beating themselves. I'll still hope for a 10-6 finish, but they just keep finding new ways to beat themselves.

[devin45k]

I am hoping Sproles doesn't miss time. He is at least a safety net for Wentz when nobody else can get open.

[BenadrylBandit]

Both are expected to play. Sproles has fractured rib, but it's not displaced. Mathews is day to day, expected to play.

[theACEofSPADES]

Watch us hardly put up 20pts against the Packers next week.

Agholor's worst play by far was getting that TD called back. How the fuk do you not even line up correctly? That's day 1 bullshiit in mini camp. Once again, fuk Chip Kelly

I also wonder how Wentz feels about this ND pipeline protest that's been happening. I'm willing to bet the PR guys are telling him not to talk about it

[Slamt]

Watching this thanksgiving game is depressing.

The lions got steal with Anquan Boldin. The Eagles desperately need somebody like him or Jason Avant type player.






The numbers, however, show that whatever confidence Wentz does have in the outside receivers has not been well-earned.

The hit rate has been good with slot receiver Jordan Matthews. Wentz is completing 66 percent of his throws to Matthews with three touchdowns to no interceptions for a 103.1 quarterback rating, per ESPN Stats & Information. Similarly, he has a 73 percent completion rate when targeting tight end Zach Ertz and a 70 percent mark with fellow tight end Brent Celek.

Those stats dip to 56 percent with a touchdown and three interceptions (almost half his total picks) when going in the direction of Nelson Agholor. Dorial Green-Beckham believes he needs to be targeted more, but Wentz is completing just a touch over half of his passes when trying to connect with him.

In total, the rookie is just 52-of-98 (53 percent) with three touchdowns to six interceptions when throwing to his current group of outside receivers.

Wouldn't even target agholor for the rest of the season. Things can only get better. Will be glad to see him gone next year.

[Psyren]

No bias but I'm not buying these Cowboys, very suspect record against mediocre teams.

That defense won't hold up against Atlanta and they aren't better than Seattle.

im not trying to start stuff in this thread, it's the eagles thread, but I feel the need to address your comments
What do you mean by " very suspect record against mediocre teams"? Their record is 10-1 against mediocre teams, 1 game from perfection

[IH8RICE]

I don't think anyone would argue their defense(particularly their secondary) I a bit suspect. Cousins basically had his way with them. If those red zone downs were converted to touchdowns the skins would've won. With that being said, the cowboys offense would manhandle basically any defense. If our offense with struggling receivers almost beat them(fuk you agholor ), what makes you think their offense with that line and those receivers wouldn't tear seattles apart? No nuthugging, but give credit where credit is due man.

[2010JW]

So I guess Agholor didn't turn out how you guys thought he would huh? I remember he was your savior WR last year.. sad sad.

[theACEofSPADES]

inb4 Patriots pick him up and turn him into a sure handed 1,000 yard receiver

Nothing is "suspect" when you win 10 games in a row. Seattle is still my pick (if healthy) in the NFC as they're more well rounded and have the post season experience. But the Cowboys are playing solid ball, it pains me to see them win games but winning 10 in a row and having however many 400 yard games in a row with 2 rookies leading the way is legit.

So I guess Agholor didn't turn out how you guys thought he would huh? I remember he was your savior WR last year.. sad sad.

I don't recall him being our "savior". This season is the aftermath of Chip era. brb trade McCoy for a player that's now on the Dolphins, brb not resigning Maclin, brb getting rid of Mathis, brb releasing DeSean in the prime of his career, brb drafting Marcus Smith, brb drafting Nelson Agholor

[MA5Bergey]

I don't recall that much enthusiasm about the Agholor pick at the time of the pick or after. If you're going to come into another fanbase's thread and troll at least do a better job.

[2010JW]

LMAO.. i'm not coming here to troll, I legit remember some of yall saying that on Agholor

@ACEOFSPADES

Chip sure fuked up your guys's team, crazy how that happened, even so, 2014 year Eagles were playing great with him at HC

That's because we still had the guys I mentioned above minus DeSean. We fuked up by giving Chip all the power that a GM would have along with his HC duties. The guy could not adapt to the NFL as fast as the NFL adapted to him. Definitely doesn't help to get rid of your best players either.

I don't know what the 9ers saw in him. He belongs in college

EDIT: And not to mention bringing in Murray and having him run in a spread offense. It's not luck he tore it up with Dallas, sucked with us and now tearing it up with TEN.

Chip came into the league with a great offense. Whatever he thought would work after that was idiotic to the max. When he actually started making moves, everything he did turned to trash. Luckily we may get Jackson back and a few more wide receivers to replace the bums we have. I hope chip gets booed out of this league.

DeSean is getting up there in age but I think he has a solid 2-3 years left. His game is pretty much built on his speed, doesn't look like he's gotten any slower but a lot of WRs plummet quickly. He'll probably be asking for an absurd amount of money too

Then I'd imagine he won't be coming back. With who could possibly be on the table to get, I'm sure he'd understand if he were the number one priority (well maybe he won't lol).

[IH8RICE]

Was talked into getting in a 5 dollar pocket league that offered a 350 dollar payout for the thanksgiving week and I have one loss( thanks Denver). More than likely it's going to come down to tonight's game. Would be the first home game the Eagles **** the bed.l.

Terrell Pryor needs to get out of Cleveland and come to Philly

won't they be freeing josh gordon soon?

he can come right on over too

[texanadian]

Anyone else sick of this Schwartz 4-man rush every play? Ffs it's not gonna work against QB's like Rodgers

[BenadrylBandit]

Doug Pederson is bad, they won't win under him and I'm not really sold on Wentz anymore, some serious accuracy issues.

They threw down field the first drive and it worked and we scored, then he reverted to his dink and dunk trash that hasn't worked all season. Defense was awful, offense was worse, and we can't even tank for a better pick because we traded them all away. Take back all the optimism I had.

Keep in mind we're down 3 starting linemen and have zero recievers. Not much these guys can do with a f*cking practice squad offence out there + Wents/Sproles/Peters

You can look back at any NFL season and see good teams get decimated by injuries and end up playing like sh*t.

Gives me optimism for next season. There's no way we lose this many starters, commit this many penalties, and f*ck up so many play calls. Only up from here boys

The WRs had nothing to do with tonight's loss. Pederson called an awful game, Wentz wasn't good. He wasn't accurate and he sailed a few passes, one of which was an interception. The packers defense averaged 40 points against over the last 4 games and we posted 13 at home.
