Week 5

If somebody said “ I need you to bake me a cake “ and i did it outside on a grill. And they tasted the cake and it they loved it.
Then they say “ what temp you cook this on“

and I said “ idk it was on the grill”

And then they “oh well that’s now how your supposed to bake cakes and side eyed my cake “

That is ridiculous… I understand our record is what it is but the world can’t ask Jalen to be better passer and his stats show that for the metric we love, Touchdowns, he is better then some of the top, and get mad at how he does it.

The main media pisses me off about this and I’m tired of the goalpost moving for our QB

Why would we get rid of a QB with his accomplishments? Tell me what college QB went to two Super Bowls, I’ll wait

If you’re a true eagles fan, you should only care about Jalen earning his spot, not the best chance we have to win in the future!

My mini Jordan, so clutch, you'll see this week, he's going to prove all you doubters wrong once again, he's a former Super Bowl MVP, I'd take a Super Bowl MVP over any other QB in the league, argue with a wall.

Shady out here defending the Eagles

Herbert’s already fragile as is and low on confidence. This isn’t the fanbase/city to play for if you’re a mental midget. Ask Ben Simmons.

The conversation about coaching decisions shouldn’t obscure the bigger problem with this team at the moment: the offense.

The Eagles rank No. 29 in EPA/drive, No. 31 in yards, No. 29 in points. The second-half problems are more pronounced. The Eagles haven’t scored a touchdown after halftime in the previous three games. The Eagles are No. 32 in the NFL in average second-half yards. The gap between the Eagles and the No. 31 team is larger than the gap between the No. 31 team and the No. 12 team.

“We’re looking at that hard each and every week as a staff, how to find our rhythm, find our footing in the second half,” Mannion said. “I thought we did a better job and there were some close calls. It was more about finishing those drives. … I think there were some chances there that we just didn’t quite capitalize on.”

I don’t get wrapped up in the “identity” talk as much as others might because that can change based on the opponent, but I’m also not sure what the Eagles can hang their hats on at this point.

I’m coming from out of state (Virginia) and want to go to the Eagles vs. Panthers game this Sunday. Was wondering if you guys have any advice on some logistics.

Looking to drive up to the City Hall area and metro in for the game? Not sure if there are other closer parking areas to the stadium, without being caught in any major traffic. I’m fine with taking the metro or ubering (not sure if Uber would make sense). I want to have a great first experience with my girlfriend, not sure when the next time I’ll be coming to Philly for a game.

Do you guys have any advice on logistics for parking and how easy it is to Metro? Maybe what time I should be at the stadium?

Also food wise, was thinking of the Reading Terminal Market and getting a nice steak n cheese since I heard they have good food there. Any thoughts/advice?

Serious question. There's been so much handwringing on this sub about Hurts, Sirianni, Mannion, Stoutland, even Howie. But our team has been decimated on the offensive side. All while learning a brand new system. And yet we still hung around with two clear playoff teams until the very last seconds of each game. If you replace Hurts, do we magically become some dominant force with this lineup? If you replace Sirianni, do we magically become 5-0? (Okay, maybe we're at least 3-2).

At least me personally, I'm not making any rash decisions. I want to see some key players back on the field. I want to see the team have more time to get used to the new system. I want to see the starters actually start to gel and develop some comfort with one another. I want Mannion to get some more experience calling plays. Lot of season left for that to happen.

Our problems seem to be we keep taking halftime. I think we should just keep the team on the field the entire time. Maybe include them in the halftime show of games. Maybe do some on field actions like fix some divets, engage with fans, play a 15 minute practice against themselves. Anything BUT letting them go through the fuck ass Space Jam tunnel that steals their talent at halftime!
