Eagles 2023-2024 Season

The Eagles don't have consistent "pass defense woes," just against Washington. They held Miami to their lowest total of the season last week. Bienemy out-schemed us in the Super Bowl and twice this season. We need a counter to what they are doing to us.

I am guessing LB, but who knows, maybe Slot Corner, RB or backup OL or DE. Howie always seems to have one “How did he do that”, but they may have been Byard.

Ahh, yea, can’t agree there. We are very near the bottom of the league in passing yards allowed, and that was mostly playing the easy part of our schedule. Now, injuries played a part, but we certainly have a consistent pass defense problems, it was really just that one game against Miami that they excelled.

We lead the league in passing yards allowed b/c teams can't run on us, so they have to pass, and b/c we have been ahead in a lot of games, pushing teams to pass. We are tied with KC for the sixth best defensive EPA per play in the league.

Who thinks Bienemy was the brains behind the great KC offenses? They sure seem to miss him.

I don't think that means it was all him. It just means it was him and Reid together. Same as the similar situations we've seen with the Eagles.

Well, our defense is EPA is 6th best because of the rush defense. The pass defense is 23rd in QB rating against, and frankly that is even worse when you consider the schedule.

Eagles trade Street and a 7th Round Pick for a 6th Rounder. Sounds like freeing up a Roster Spot, I assume it might just be for Jurgens, but maybe Howie needed the spot for another Trade? LB? Another DB?

phillychuck 2023-10-31 01:51:31 UTC #168

Weird time to trade Street with Carter and Davis both dinged up...

bkeich 2023-10-31 02:22:12 UTC #169

Will possibly be clearer tomorrow evening after the trade deadline. Or they just see Street as a fungible body

it could also mean that they'd like to get more reps for Ojomo and/or Tuipulotu

More NFL than Eagles:

Imagine the pain of being a Bears Fan. They just traded their 2nd round pick (very early, currently #35) for Montez Sweat, who is a FA at the end of the year. They are buying? 2-6 and no QB on the roster? Buying?

This is almost as dumb as trading for Tony DiAngelo. Almost.

Second year in a row their GM traded away a second round pick for an expiring contract, did Chuck Fletcher land on his feet in Chicago?

bkeich 2023-11-05 22:41:06 UTC #173

Eagles are getting burnt on match ups. Blankenship (x2) and Ricks give up big receptions to Lamb. Need to do a better job of getting our best defenders on their best.

We would be in so much trouble this year without the certainty of the Brotherly Push.

phillychuck 2023-11-06 01:20:15 UTC #174

Brotherly shove, or tush push. Get the alliteration and assonance right!

Can't say we looked better than the Cowboys but we get a huge win.

BostonRoss 2023-11-06 01:36:52 UTC #176

It got to the point where I was expecting a flag on every play.

Docs 2023-11-06 01:42:15 UTC #177

Glad the birds got the win and i hope the guys that got banged up are not too serious. Goedert could be bad, slay and Bradberry, and hurts right on his injured knee.

If this game was pre replay it goes the other way, the red zone swift fumble, the TD on fourth down and the two point conversion would each have swung the game the other way. Big win.

bkeich 2023-11-06 14:58:31 UTC #178

It seemed like his arm flexed in a bad way. Hopefully only a month or so, but it looked reasonably bad

I live in fear about the news on Hurts Knee, which is obviously also hurt. Good we have a bye

allentown 2023-11-06 15:08:43 UTC #179

That tackle looked like an attempt to injure.

Docs 2023-11-06 16:43:17 UTC #180

I thought the same thing
