In 5 years, the only thing that people will remember about the 2022 season is that the Chiefs were champions. No one will be saying but, but, but Hurts would have been MVP if he didn't get hurt. We're not there yet. But the 8-1 start and historical metrics are a good indicator that we could be. People are simply expressing optimism about that. I get that they lost the SB last year, but no need to not enjoy the ride this year in the hopes that the outcome can be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been getting it jammed down our throats for the last 50 years by cowboy fans up until we won. But there’s joy in the process and journey. I mean what’s the point if not? We’re all literally here because we’re fanatics of a game that means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Why torture yourself if you cant enjoy it? So what you’re saying is only one time in the many years of your life you can say you were truly happy with this team? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the most enjoyable sport season rides I’ve ever witnessed. Can you please imagine being a stick in the mud for 20 weeks and then winning the SB? lol. 2004 was awesome too. I’ll never forget that season. I can’t just wash it away because we didn’t win the last game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I stated earlier, I am full of joy. Ask the fans of other teams I interact with. This is the place the fans of the team discuss the team, the good and bad. I choose to talk about the good with others, and discuss the team in depth with Eagles fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, I actually understand what you're saying, truly. However as a newbie to this particular site, ALL it ever sounds like is constant, non stop, unwavering Mitching about everything Eagles. Nothing is good, No one one is playing well, We suck! Despite a 8-1 record. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if we were all happy happy joy joy, what would be the point of a message board to discuss the team???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how big of a supporter I am/was of McNabb (username of 16 years). While I agree McNabbs WR's outside of TO (20 gms) and 1 season with Desean/Maclin/McCoy were absolutely garbage, travesty by Andy wasting his career. I was just shocked he only had 10 gms ever thats all? Donnovan simply wouldn't attempt some of these throws Jalen does because he never trusted said WR'S and would rather throw it in the dirt then get a INT.

Some absolutely his fault several more just plain out and out unlucky. Maybe we've been spoiled with Aaron Rodgers limited TO type numbers from Hurts? So when he has 11/12 in 9 games, we ***** and complain. Ironic thing is most would argue I'd rather have Josh Allen , a player who averages almost a TO a gm over his entire career and already has one more TO then Jalen this year. 🤷♂️ Right now the only QB I’m taking over Jalen hurts without question is Patrick mahomes. I think we can have a conversation about joe burrow too, but besides those 2 I’m taking hurts right now. As far as the rest of your post, I agree, I think all we really have to worry about is turnovers. Jalen is usually very good with ball security but a good 3-4 of his interceptions have been “fluky” meaning they went off somebody’s hand or the ball was popped up into the air and a defender just so happened to be there. Besides ball security, I think the only thing the offense needs to work on is situational play calling. Sometimes the play calling makes absolutely no sense at all whatsoever and kills drives. That’s gotta improve, especially in the red zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jays3 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I think Jalen hurts is the most complete QB the eagles have ever had. Donovan mcnabb is one of the main reasons I became an eagles fan, but let’s be real, Jalen hurts is better in just about every aspect of the game.

Nabbs4u Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Jalen Hurts has won 7 straight games when he has faced a deficit of 10 or more points. That is the best streak in NFL history by a QB. Unbelievable. He seems to play better when facing adversity. Patrick Mahomes was 34-1 when having a 10+ point lead at halftime. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles with incredible comeback win in Kansas City vs Super Bowl champs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
