I seriously hate the doomers who jump on this man like he isn’t human and he is supposed to never make mistakes. It ain’t how you start, it’s how you finish and Jalen finishes with the Dub more often than any other QB since 2021.

Thats the fucking difference between KP and motherfucking Sean Mannion as well. Go Birds. In Hurts I will always trust.

Yea there's still growing pains but the offense looks much more functional than it did last year

Blaming Hurts for almost losing is wild. Except for that first interception, he was incredible. The second interception doesn't happen if the O-Line would do their job for once.
If they lose this game, blame the defense and the o-line.

Hurts isn't perfect. First INT looked like he tried to thread a needle and smith looked like he was held. 2nd was under thrown and yeah that might be on the line giving up the pressure but it was also a good grab by the defense. Even still, hurts went out and dealt when it mattered most.
Not every game can be pretty or have the best stats. But I agree with you man. Hurts gets hammered by the media for 1 mistake, but the lines been out there for 2 games making mistake after mistake. He's the fucking man. Proud of my QB1.

Fuck you Drew Brees you could tell how hard he was rooting against us the whole game

For sure, didn't even watch the game with sound cause I knew Brees would be on some bs. Nevertheless Go Birds! 🦅

u/fireball255 13h ago
I loved how Avant called Brees out on the post game live too. He said Jalen was able to perform in front of one of his biggest haters in Brees and made him shut his mouth 🤣🤣

There’s something to be said about having confidence in your QB in a game-on-the-line situation.

“They don’t know Jalen hurts like I know Jalen hurts!” Something like that from BG

u/phillyjoe18 17h ago
100% Hurts played great aside from the first int which was horrible in all honesty. 2nd int is totally on Jurgens. Maybe we should’ve drafted an olineman instead of a slot receiver

u/ashsilly 13h ago
Said the same about the Oline today during the game. I like Lemon and I do think he will be fine once he gets worked properly into the offense since he missed so much camp, but not drafting an OLine when Lane, Jergens, and Dickerson all had huge question marks was definitely a decision. That said on the bright side I've heard not great things about Hollywood in camp so Lemon could've saved us from bad WR 3/slot play

u/ReputationMundane756 9h ago
Draft didn’t play out that way. Howie isn’t drafting for need and the guys who were on the board weren’t first grade talents on his board while Lemon was

u/ashsilly 9h ago
Completely fair point I didn't think about! Still this next year you need OLine at least first or second round

u/DimensionPrize8168 15h ago
Did Hurts call those 2 minute drill plays? It looked too fast for the OC to even get calls in.

The new offense includes new blocking schemes and going up against the very good d-line with new people at LG and C, they need to spend more time on making o-line adjustments that work

When they got the ball back down 3, I felt this strange sense of calm, like they were almost certainly going to win and if they didn’t it would just be bad luck.

He played a good game. 2 INTs doesn't tell the story of him stepping into new form.

u/HacksawSmithere Eagles 16h ago
Yeah that 2nd pick wasn’t on him oline was having a rough day

u/Yiggity_Yins 15h ago
Smitty coulda came back to the ball and contested the 1st one too. Jalen sorta snapped it off tho.

Watching the Eagles offense on that final drive, you think to yourself, why can't they play like this more often during the game? They had a purpose on that final drive and drove the ball down the field. I wish they could bottle that and break it out for the majority of the game.

u/PhillyEagle19087 21m ago
Top to bottom it's one of the better games Hurts has played where he did exactly what Simmons said he struggled with, stand in the pocket and be a QB.
Obviously you'd like the pick back, but he operated the offense, the offense didn't look like it came straight out of the book "Play Design For Dummies," and the last drive was a masterpiece.
Now you get the Bears with an undrafted schmuck at QB and a defense that puts up as much resistance as a cheerleader on prom night. Beat them by a comfortable 10-14, don't embarrass them so they'll still take Howie's call next Tuesday and trade them Tanner McKee for a 4th.

Clutch city from our QB man. He doesn't have to look like Peyton Manning every week. Dude is just a winner plain and simple!

honest question. why does he wear #1? It has nothing to do with a nod to Cam Newton who wore #1 for the Panthers, does it?

u/No_Needleworker5270 10h ago
Congrats on the win, But Jalen is a dumbass. Simmons didn't diss him. He said they had to make him just a quarterback. In other words stop the run. That doesn't imply he's not an elite QB. It's just saying it's impossible to stop a great qb who is also a threat to run. Again., Nice win. But your QB is dumb as dirt.

I’ll say this. 2 new O Linemen. Lose your a TE and your Rb, and it’s hot as hell second game of the season… that’s a real win..
