True lol

I disagree with the notion that he had time at least in the 1st half. He had time some time because he was forced to leave the pocket a lot. Philly was consistently getting to him especially on the edges. They had lots of pressures and would have more sacks if JD5 wasn't so mobile. It was an absolute rarity where he would drop back and had time to throw with a clean pocket.

Well, this game was a mixed bag.. Some of you guys believed that Eagles would be up by 2 scores or more. We were only one 2 point conversation away from tying the game. Actually if you think about it, this is exactly the same playbook we followed in 2024 - defense keeping us in the game and then JD does his magic stuff and led comebacks. The only difference was Kliff’s offense worked very well and Blough’s offense did not in this game.


Good
- Our defense is so much better, yesterday was the first time where I felt excited about our defense since Gregg Williams’ time. The defense was the only reason why we were alive in the game until the very last play. We will get Armstrong back this Sunday, and then we will get Wise and Amos back by 5th game. The defense will only get better.
- Styles showed everyone why we drafted him. He even ran over Barkley and it’s rare to see anyone do that, especially as a rookie.
- Williams made key catches, the TD catch was amazing. He is obviously our #3 WR at this point.
- Tyler Owens is growing into a nice special teamer
- JD did not try to be superhero, instead he took what the defense gave him. Even Tom Brady complimented JD for this.


Bad
- Blough got outcoached by Fanigo. Even Tom Brady said that there was nowhere for JD to throw to throughout the game. I suppose we should have expected this, it’s unreasonable to expect a first time offense coordinator to best a defense mastermind with 40 years of experience. Also, Blough got cute with the 2 point conversation - he should have put the ball in JD’s hands instead.
- The Oline is bad.. I tried to be optimistic about the Oline but there’s no another way around it. Going into the halftime, the tv showed that JD was pressured at the 2nd highest rate of his career in the first half.
- Diggs did alright but he needs to be better (he and JD are still building the chemistry)

One play I noticed Philly rushed four and had the rest in a zone defense, while we had 7 guys on the line. This left only 2WRs and 1RB to go out on routes and nobody was getting open.

**Defense was solid outside some key fuckups allowing big plays.

**No turnovers. That's a big plus for us as it could have been much worse if we did have some.



All in all, they played better than I thought they would (especially the defense). I think the weakness on the OL is going to hamper play calling going forward too.

Very good write up. It is still a long season and this is just Week 1. I think things will be much better when Tunsil comes back. On to the Cowpukes.

Burn it down.

So much for our matchup nightmare TE as well.

Fuck you quinn. Fuck you Peters. So sick of seeing 5 run for his life every fucking snap.

This is why you don't trade picks when you need them to replenish your OL. I keep harping on this very thing over and over. Also notice that having two WR#1 doesn't do jack shit either (see Cowboys for another example) if your OL isn't solid.

What bothered me about Blough is I really had no idea what he was actually trying to do. What is the identity? I watched the Giants last night, they had one. I liked what I saw. Throw the ball to Nabers and that beast of a TE which we should have signed. Run the ball with that 300lb fullback and Scattaboo.

Because you have a new OC and JD didn't play all that much last year, they're playing pre season. They gotta toss it around and get in sync. That's on Quinn. That first half was a total joke. Get JD on the move a little bit more. Did they call one screen to off set the rush?

Blew a game they could have won. 3rd and 18 Hurts run was an absolute back breaker. Mikey can't play man anymore. Just stop it. He can't do it.

Well we knew going into this game that blocking their front was going to be a serious problem. Knowing that the OC needed to adopt to it.

Our best wr yesterday was a 3rd round rookie. Go figure.

I wonder if they’ll try to sign Decker. Still unsigned.

Separately, Allegretti just whiffed on the conversion- if he hits his man, they score. It was bad execution. But why rely on our OL so much on a play like this?
