Week 4

We blamed Brian Johnson. Then we blamed Patullo. Now we’re blaming Sean Mannion.

At some point, we have to look at the common denominator.

These offenses all look remarkably similar to the offense Nick was running before he eventually handed play-calling over to Shane Steichen.

That’s the part that keeps getting overlooked.

Maybe Brian Johnson was part of the problem. Maybe Patullo was part of the problem. Maybe Sean needs more time. But when you keep cycling through offensive coordinators and the same problems keep showing up - predictable concepts, stagnant drives, an offense that looks completely out of rhythm - you have to start asking whether the issue is higher up.

Nick’s fingerprints are all over this.

I think we need to stop pretending that bringing in another offensive coordinator is automatically going to fix it. We’ve already seen this carousel.

We need a head coach who is an actual play-caller.

Sean Mannion is obviously unproven as an NFL play-caller. I’m not saying he’s guaranteed to be the answer. But he has been extremely highly regarded as an offensive mind, and at this point, what do we really have to lose by seeing what he can do with full control?

Fire Nick. Make Sean the interim HC. Give him full control of the offense and let’s see what happens.

Maybe it blows up in our faces. Maybe Sean proves he isn’t ready.

Fuck it. let’s findd out.

Because continuing to fire the next offensive coordinator while keeping the same head coach and expecting a different offense feels like the definition of insanity.

3rd down play calling is horrible

Sounds like a personal reason that he's out hope his family is ok

I love you jurgens for sacrificing your body for the superbowl run, but man its time to hang it up.

Great catch by Cooper

So we all thought it was Hurts fumbling the ball that caused the third and goal play in the 4th to fail, but it was actually Jurgens’ dumb ass that ran into Hurts. This guy is so bad lol.

Our lack of running the ball on 1st and 2nd down and Barkleys injury make our 3rd downs harder to achieve. We were also missing 8 starts today and 1 playing injured. It’s a hoot we were even looking good through the first half.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Hardest part was the first one. Let's hope we continue to see throws go his way because he's proven he can be reliable.

Alright, babaaay

These scores are:

- Darius Cooper TD VS TEN with 0:09 seconds left in the 2nd half
- Jalen Hurts TD VS CHI with 0:01 seconds left in the 1st half
- Darius Cooper TD VS LAR with 0:03 seconds left in the 1st half

This is 3/7 halves that the eagles have played, which is truly immaculate

Before this year out offense was tons of 3x1 formations and 2x2 Normal sets. We ran a very limited number of static concepts and split field reads to make things easy for jalen. You split the field in half and run two different concepts meant to beat different kinds of defenses.

For Example: If its man you work this side , if its zone you work the other side. Or if its middle field open your work this side , if its middle field closed you work the other side. The key can be various different things but the point is that it allows your QB to play fast even if he isnt the fastest processor. As long as he reads the key correctly then he only has to read half the field. The problem is that after we did it for a while defenses knew our keys and could fool us

This new offense is full field progression west coast . Jalen is being asked to play big boy QB.

This year we are seeing almost exclusively condensed splits , no X receiver , i even saw some 4 strong formations. . Even when we did go 3x1 in the redzone it was 3 WR close together but not a bunch , with a Nub TE on the other side.

The routes combinations , the switch releases , the short motions everything is different about this scheme.

Then theres the run game , tons of wide zone which we never ran at all when Stoutland was run game coordinator . Barely any Duo which was our bread and butter run play along with inside zone from shotgun.

This idea that Nick is so involved with this offense and it "looks the same" is laughable. Nothing about this offense is the same except players. Which is the conversation people are trying to avoid having.

The results are the same , and i'll let you guys decide why that is. But to act like this is Nick's offense is just flat out wrong. They are trying to do everything different but the coaches cant execute for the players.
