E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!! Birds - Chargers '25 game thread

Jalen needs to sack up and start running the ball more. It opens the whole offense up even with Patullo’s crazy brain-dead schemes
That was such a ridiculous game on all levels

3 minutes to go 20 yards and they’re rushing around. Calm the hell down. Such a stupid team right now
There are so many teams better than the Eagles in the NFC (like 3 of the 4 teams in both the North and West divisions) that they would do well just to eek out a home playoff win but that would be the end of the road.
The pivotal plays from Jalen Hurts, Eagles' OT meltdown against the Chargers
The Eagles' offense is still bad. Jalen Hurts was way worse. They've lost three straight, and the team is in a 2023-level crisis mode now.

Among the many frustrating pieces about this year’s team is the fact that they’re unable to make scheme adjustments to better position themselves to win on offense.
The OL has been average all year. Why can’t they adjust to be more productive? I feel this feeds the narrative that Sirianni would be a middling head coach if not for the Eagles amazing talent.

NFL is won in the trenches. Very obviously our boys are hurt, not that hard to figure out. 1 has proven (twice) what he can do when the OL is humming. He also shows us he can’t put the team on his back like that bum in buffalo, and I’m ok with that (cause I’m still the Super Bowl champion and Dallas still sucks.
ill only be pissed if they give 1 an extension. As for 11, trade him 25 minutes before the first round.

They can’t trade AJ. They’ll never replace that production. Look at Tennessee as a case study.
AJ and Hurts can both be part of the solution. Especially if what you say about poor OL play is true.
AJ is done bro, he won’t be missed. I’ve never been the big body slow receiver type. im a stretch the field guy.

and I dont disagree. They have started going back to their old zone scheme and scraping the gap stuff ( downblock, pull the G, C) stuff those guys are hurting but going straight ahead they can do.
Who are your types of receivers? The big blazers (e.g. Megatron) are few and far between. AJ is the prototype for the modern NFL receiver.
The Chiefs are learning what happens when you overdo it on the small and fast guys. Only a few of them are unicorns and stay healthy - Tyreek, Steve Smith, DSJ. Xavier Worthy and crew can’t stay healthy and/or can’t catch
Fix the OL, schemes and play calls. They’ll be much better in 2026.
But it’s obvious the play caller fix is outside the franchise. Patullo was a monumental flop by Nick and him doubling down on his failed decision cost them a legit shot at a repeat.
I like that dude in LA with the funny name. Dudes who are shifty, smart, strong and can sit down in a zone. and I love skinny Batman with my whole heart
Next season I expect a Super Bowl appearance. It's the Hurts-Sirianni pattern. amirite?
They need to figure out the odd collapse roller coaster. Occam’s Razor implies it’s Nick making poor coordinator choices. That’s concerning if it’s the case.
I hear you - unguardable. Nakua. And I don’t know how Smith doesn’t break on every hit, but he’s great. You described Steve Smith to a tee.
Those guys are like AI was on the court - like a waterbug.
Thwt said, AJ and Smith are a great combo but they are swimming upstream right now - and AJ’s diva tendencies aren’t helping right now
Any weather junkies out there might get this one, but I'll call this every-other-year thing the Hurts-Sirianni Oscillation (HSO).
It's become Super Bowl or bust for these guys. Pretty strange.
LA always had zone killers remember that white boy a few years ago? Uncoverable, Kupp
I think a lot of that stems from McVay’s schematic excellence. Having a quality play designer and caller goes a long way. Having great talent isn’t a solution on its own.
As a near 60 year Charger fan I was surprised that they prevailed. A slight tip of the pass which appeared to be headed for a touchdown, changed the outcome. Hebert was harassed all night by the Eagles defensive line and didn't move the team that well. Four interceptions and the fumble were the difference makers. The Eagles have a good team and if the Chargers get healthy, will also be in the playoffs. An exciting game, not due to skill but miscues mostly. The Charger defense did play well in general and came up with critical stops when they had to. The Eagles appear to have a favorable schedule and should win out. The Chargers have Denver in their path and more challenges. That's football. WE ARE
Good to see that at least one poster enjoyed last night’s game. (I myself was agnostic.)
Partially the problem. The oline play for most of the year has been awful. AJ Brown is just pouting and going through the motions. Jalen had his worst game in a long time last night. The Eagles had 11 days to scheme and come up with plays for that game last night, and that is what they came up with? Seth Joyner pointed exactly the Eagles still have no answers for a 0 blitz other than Jalen throws that moon ball to AJ and prays he gets it. There are big problems with this team and some personalities. Part of it may be super bowl hangover, but AJ is becoming a real problem. On Saquon's long TD run he just stood there and blocked no one. Oline has been injured much of the year. But predictability on where the ball is going is so annoying. Defensive players are calling it out before its snapped. The Eagles defense for the most part has played really well this year. Fangio schemed around not having Jalen Carter last night. The offense just looks like it has no answers and they don't want to change anything. Shame they have so much talent on offense yet look lost.
