Eagles game plan...

"Let's go down 31... Not throw the ball to Smith"

"BUT once we are down so much..... Throw to Smith"

 

[Montalban]

Eagles decided to get their heads out of their asses once the game was out of reach

Good on the Iggs for turning this into only a 2 possession game.

Too little too late...but vertebrae was found nonetheless.

I wanted to go to the playoffs and he got us here his first season as a starter after a season when the Eagles were 4-11-1. Did so as the youngest QB to take this franchise to the playoffs as well.


There is no reason why Hurts can't develop into a great QB. He made great progress from his rookie season. He has top level intangibles and work ethic. If there is anyone who is going to put in the necessary work and preparation and then some it's Jalen Hurts.

Eagles have three 1st round picks heading into what is seen as a defensive draft. They should be in an excellent position to inject the defense with a lot of good young talent.



As for this post season the Eagles likely won't go far but at the same time they have the most dominating run game in the league with one of the best if not the best offensive line in the league. The only real question I have is if Gannon is going to be able to get this defense to put up more of a fight against good QBs then they showed in the regular season because they gave up no resistance to any QB that was good. Eagles won't be able to really contend until they substantially improve the defense. But that has nothing to do with Hurts.

I'm not going to dog you too badly as it was only one game and a young QB. But yesterday showed very clearly that Jalen Hurts has miles to go to ever be a franchise QB and the odds are very very long.

Poor DeVonte Smith. He's stuck with either the worst coached offense, or the worst QB, I've seen in a while. If not both.

It would be a shame if his immense talent is wasted in Philly.
