    I donno man, i get AJ is WR and always wants the ball but this passing game is avg less than 200yds/game with elite OL, WR and RB

    Maybe next week or any other week, they’re going to look electric but it’s going to be some bs with the division games coming up lol

    Saquon is having an historic Eagle season..anything else is just an add on and they’re winning

    We clamor for the Eagles to run the ball and they have the BEST RB in the league and now we want to complain about the passing game

    What's lost in this is DeVonta and Mailata both said the passing game could be better after the game too. Even Hurts himself said he wasn't good enough. AJ just said "passing" and looked upset so folks ran with it

    I mean they have to say this. Say anything else in what the media or public is saying then you’re going to become a headline

    I understand it tho tbh. We want to be able to have a more crisp passing game in case anything happens with the run game in the postseason. It can be better for sure, while not neglecting the run

    I agree but we cannot forget or deny that the tools and such are still there. Nothing has changed. I’m sure they have hitters in their playbook that’s automatic for them to get it going but it’s Saquon season and don’t get hungup on people getting their stats whilst ignoring a generational RB for us rn

    I agree with this wholeheartedly, this is Saquon's time right now. I do think it would be worthwhile to expand our attack down the stretch tho. Like you said, we DO have the tools but if you don't use the tools they get rusty

    AJ AJ AJ. I used to think AJ was a whiny WR. But after hearing him talk these past 2 seasons. I think he just wants to win and get a ring. Nothing else. There is a reason why he is so good. In order to be great you have to go through some level of umcomfortbalilty. He is just pointing out the elephant in the room that everybody acknowledges but doesn’t want to talk about.

    We are all lying to ourselves if we think the passing game is at a level that we like. Jalen holds the ball too long, doesn’t see open receivers, and some of the plays suck/ take too long to develop (1st quarter offense).

    If nobody speaks up, we might have a similar season as last years. No ring.

    I think flare up might be a good thing. BG said people have to talk. I think this will force the issue.

    There is no reason we should not have 250 pass yards a game especially with the threat of saquan.

    In the last 3.5 games, jalen has around 500 yards passing. Why do I mention 3.5? It was at the end of the first half against Washington that Jalen probably got a concussion and had to go to the blue tent. He was definitely out of character when talking to SVP with those shades on. Is he still feeling the effects? Is this the reason why the passing game has become worse? Who knows

    Philly media and eagles drama is crème de la crème for better or for worse.

    I think everybody needs to R E L A X

    The passing game doesnt match our run game, we lead the league in rushing but the play action pass numbers do not support that. We should be getting easy play action passes that we are not hitting right now

  • Dec 10, 2024

    not to beat around the bush but the tape shows jalen does not see and pull the trigger on wide open targets. any WR would get frustrated with that

    nor is it good gameplan or practice to have AJ, the highest paid WR on our team, run cardio out there as a decoy.

    Do I wish all of this s*** stayed behind closed doors, and do I wish AJ would contain his emotions until the cameras are off, sure, but easier said then done

    I dont like BG going out on the radio station though, that seemed like a miscalculation

    This was s*** I was harping on back in the early part of the season

    Goes hand-in-hand with being under center more, under center play action is the EASIEST way to unlock the middle of the field. Middle of the field throws have more chance for YAC, something AJ EXCELLED at in Tennessee.

    Use what we already have set up with the run game to marry with the pass game and all the problems are gone

    I agree with all this, AJ wants to win so all this "he doesn't like Jalen" or "diva" talk is nonsense. We know where it's coming from, we just wish it wouldn't cause this s***show of a media circus lol

    I'm also glad you brought up the Washington game, because there is a distinct change in the passing game starting from the Washington game:

    The Dallas game was the last time Hurts threw a pick, in that game he attempt a 20+ yard throw 5 times. Against Jacksonville the week prior, he attempted a 20+ yard throw 4 times. Since the Washington game up until this week against Carolina, we've thrown the ball 20+ yards down the field a combined 4 times.

    He's gun shy, whether that's he himself being afraid to take those shots or being coached to protect the ball during this win streak and just rely on the run and the defense, the bottom line is he CAN'T be neutered like this

    S*** colder than Jake himself from 50+ yards, still the best kicker in franchise history but he can't be trusted. With kickers when your confidence is shot it's just over, we really should be bringing in more guys

    I would not send him out there 50+ yards.

    The stats idt are TOO bad inside 50 (w/o looking im sure theyre no good from deep 40s too but)

    he obvi isnt going to be IRed or replaed so.

    Absolutely, it was twice against Washington, and once each against the Rams and Ravens. He didn't attempt a downfield throw against the Panthers

    Now why does this especially matter? Because these were four secondaries we went in saying the offense should ABSOLUTELY exploit. And this when we become MORE safe with the ball? Nah, something's up

    Part of that is the games he's missed but even on a per game basis he was a tick over 9 targets a game last season to 6.6 a game this season. He's been efficient with those, going at minimum 5 catches for 60 yards in all games that he started and finished prior to this week, but we're talking about a top 3 receiver in the game. Get him involved and watch the passing game smoothen itself out too

    I’m.. just good on these receivers. It is tiring because what is it now? You didn’t get the ball open? It might happen next game too. If it isn’t Hurts tossing the ball, it’s going to be another QB doing the same thing lol
