1. No hands
2. No sacks

= No win

2 is more concerning for me. 1 should take care of itself by getting Alshon, Goeddert, and Jackson back on the field. The DL doesn't have the reinforcements coming.

I can't believe that with an hour left to go, there isn't a game thread.

Well since you didn't put your starting QB and other out there during preseason, this game is basically a prime example of preseason game, piss poor player play, piss poor game management and of course my favorite piss poor management of personal ……..Why the kid from Penn ST is starting over Howard is total stupidity...

for what it's worth, the starting QB has thrown 2 game winning TDs in back to back losses, so there is that... so, i don't think the lack of preseason has hurt.

granted, the guys on the other end of those throws have to catch them, minor caveat...

I'm not blaming Carson at all, I believe his arm looks fantastic and so does his legs.

I blame the play selection and personal selection, I get it with this staff they have always been a little way to much mix it up to see what sticks on play calling...

I blame them picking a rookie runningback over a vet RB that is known for putting his head down and getting the extra yard.... Not a kid that has a habit of putting the ball on the ground and is one of the reasons you lost a game this year...

I don't mind them going Miles, as he seems good in pass protection and receiving. I don't get their love affair with Sproles. Hell, probably could have split out Miles and used Howard at RB this game.

Agholor again with his weak hands ... drive killer. I'm getting really tired of this guy!

I'd sweeten the pot to go get Ramsey. Add Jones & Agholor to the 1st round pick. We need playmakers, not excuses! Oh yes, add Darby too!1

I don’t get the sense that the Jags undeniable offer for Ramsey includes so many players. Certainly not Darby the walking infirmary.

It’s funny to me how we dump on the offense in these games. Sure, two fumbles and seven drops aren’t helping anyone out. But, the defense is the thing that continues to kill us.

On a day like today I think about the miraculous 2017 run. How we made that late season and playoffs run with this defense is perhaps the greatest miracle of them all.

LOL at this team.

I only caught bits and pieces of the game, but what I saw looked like a 3rd preseason game performance.

They deserve every bit of 1-2

The defense isn't good.

7 drops ... that last drop by Hollins would have won the game. 2 games in a row lost due to huge drops. Not having our 2 starting WR's have killed us!!!

True, but Carson is off target. He's also back to looking for Ertz on every playh. I love Wentz, but the elite QB's scan the whole field, not just looking for the same guy. We clearly miss Reich (who despite losing Luck, is winning with Brissett), and Defilipo.

Really frustrating to lose another winnable game. They manage to find ways to shoot themselves in the foot and make it difficult to win.


3 winnable games, and Thursday will most likely will make us 1-3 to start the season. I can't imagine my optimism of winning another SB this year happening.

Sad but true. Miles isn't close to being another Barkley.
