Eagles @ WTF 2.0 post game thread

I really hope we can stomp the Giants though. End on a high note by beating a team I detest. Honestly, if we don’t and then announce a sucky new name, I will seriously have to consider whether I want to spend the next half of my life rooting for this team

They had -10 net yards passing today so if we don't stomp them there should be firings

the only way I feel things change around here is if we draft a superstar type of QB. we need a guy that people will want to pay to see. we saw it in 2012. maybe to a lesser extent w/ Cousins at the end of 2015 - but we need a cornerstone type of guy that the city can gravitate to, the type of guy that can carry the team if needed. if we go out and get Mariota or Jimmy G it isn't going to change anything. we gotta get that guy in the draft., probably 2023 or beyond. .. :-(

Story of the game is simple IMO.

Can't sustain 60 minutes of football with an OL constituted of:
slow LT - 3rd string LG with bad hands - 3rd string center - Banged up RG - Back up RT

Unless of course you have Russel Wilson, Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes as your QB.
Which we don't.

Defense did as good as we could except considering they had no depth at DE, were playing LB David Mayo most of the game because Jamin Davis was obviously not 100%, had Danny Johnson (who I actually think is a quality depth guy) Reaves and Corn "the F did you come from" Edler out there for way too many snaps...

Fuller had a solid game. Settle, Allen and Ioannidis played well.

Read from one of the local reporterrs that they played Mayo to free up Cole Holcomb. Ron and co seem to have come to the conclusion that neither Holcomb or Davis is a MLB. One of the things that I find most disturbing about this staff and FO is how long it takes them to realise what seemed obvious to every outside observer months ago. We all hoped we were wrong, but deep down we I think we all recognised the fact.
Likewise that they still don't have a WR2 to take attention away from Terry.

I have been on the fence all season regarding Leno, good dude no doubt but, is he the long term (or at least medium) solution at LT, I don't think so.

It took them way too long to figure out Collins was not a DB .. when they finally moved him to hybrid LB he played a lot better .. it just takes these coaches too long to adjust .. they never adjust during game … B Mitchell is saying a lot of it is a coach/coordinator issue .. he could be right

I thought I remembered Ron saying in the off/pre-season that they wanted to move Collins to a different role, and he just kind of said no until 6(ish) weeks ago. It seemed like they knew, however wouldn't force him to move. Maybe behind the scenes they were coaching him into the new position/role/expectations? I don't know
..just kind d of spitballing here. He def excelled when he moved.

[EdmundDorf]

Another great example, though that was somewhat to do with his resistance to playing that role but the staff shouldn't have allowed that to influence their assessments

[skinsfan69]

They messed up w/ Davis from day one. Common sense would tell you that starting him in the middle when he has played so little football isn't going to be a smart idea. That is putting too much on a raw rookie mentally.

This year should have been putting him in position to attack and not think. That is probably his strength at this point - so go blitz the QB, spy the mobile QB's since we have so much trouble w/ them, cover TE's. That is all I would've had him do to start off with.

Tied for dead last in playoff wins since 2000. Great job Dan.

Not quite dead last as the Lions and Bengals own that spot, respectively. But still stink, nonetheless.

Good call.

Do you hear that world? 2nd to last in playoff victories since 2000! Yeah! Suck it Bengals and Lions!

[skinsfaninok]

Such an embarrassment. Detroit has a great stadium at least. As does Cincy.

We are the laughing stock of the league

Dan is the biggest POS ever
