Fly, Eagles Fly
I watched last nights game and to me it was about 50/50. Half the time it was what Baldy tweeted out and Wentz was flat out awful. That's still terrible for any starting QB, let alone a guy eating a huge chunk of your cap.
But the other 50% of the time, I saw 7 or 8 flat out drops, a group of WRs that can't run routes and/or have zero burst to get seperation and honestly, they were a better group last year with the practice squad guys. I see a coach that seems to be oblivious to that and continues to call the same dumb plays that never work. And Howie might just be the worst evaluator of talent in all of football. Fwiw, Hurts is no answer either but he likely can't be worse.
Not defending Wentz, mind you. His accuracy is awful and he constantly overthrows or underthrows open guys. He seemingly has no idea how to read the defense at times and will try big plays that are called even when they have no chance instead of checking off to easy wide open chain movers.
Lurie has to be fuming in the owners box and if he is as smart as I think he is and passionate about winning, he needs to blow this whole thing up and rebuild with different people in the F.O. and on the sideline.
I agree, it is not all on Wentz, but he is a big part of it. And hard to evaluate the rest given how poorly he is playing. They need to play Hurts a little to see what happens. And I think they will before the season is over.
