2024 Eagles Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew

This brings me pure joy. While I understand the Giants catch-22 between Barkley and a good OL, I think he will be a beast in Philly this fall. He just complements that offense so well.
Sheesh. Those 2023 collapse stats are stunning. And it gets worse (not better) for Sirianni with time.
That staff was utterly clueless. They made the worst choice with every decision and seemed to make no attempt to evolve and offense that the league had figured out.
All of that perpetuates the narrative that Nick was a rah-rah, big picture coach whose success depended on highly competent coordinators who had become head coaches.
He’s lucky that Lurie is a somewhat patient and methodical owner.
IMO he's lucky hes a yes man for Lurie and Howie. I do not believe it was Nick's decision to hire any of last yrs coordinators, let alone this years. I do not believe it was Nicks decision to hire Matt Patrica . Nor do I believe it was Nick who made the call to switch coordinators mid season. I think they were all Howie's decision. Lets face it, Doug would still be the HC in Philly if Lurie wasnt trying to micro manage his staff.
on the whole I like Nike, and I love the Eagles, but there are times I think both Howie and Lurie mess with the football side too much. its only because of a guy like Jerry Jones we dont see it as much.
One I hope I am wrong on. The last thing we need is a revolving door at RG. BTW I think Jack Anderson is available
As someone who grew up outside of Pittsburgh but has been living in Harrisburg for the last 17 years the Eagles have really grown on me. I bought a Saquon Giants jersey when he was drafted and it is the only non-Steelers jersey for an NFL player I own. I am probably going to grab an Eagles Saquon jersey as well. I really do like this Eagles team. I have a feeling Saquon is finally going to be able to shine without having to do all of the heavy lifting.
It will be a critical year for Jalen and Howie. Can Jalen adapt to a new offense, one that may resemble a more traditional NFL scheme and allow him to shed the "mobile QB" label? If Jalen doesn't work out, then can Howie survive extending two failed franchise QBs to record deals? He's not in a typical GM-Owner dynamic with Lurie, but the count of GMs to survive something like that is at or close to zero.
I’m a big Hurts fan but last year was a letdown. No real growth from game to game. Something was missing. It’s nice to think that Saquon will make a positive difference for Hurts but the Eagles had Swift last year, he’s not chopped liver.
Earlier this week, in his article on the hottest/most intriguing camp battles, Roob predicted that Cooper DeJean would end up winning the starting role as the slot CB. And now this. smh
Thus 2024 being make or break. The franchise fired its coordinators. If you make that change and Hurts still isn’t right, then you have to look at him.
you can almost say the same thing for SB, If he cant run behind 3 pro bowlers than you have to look at him.
I think Saquon is more established given his production in a bad Giants offense. Health is the big issue with Saquon. If he's healthy and gets enough touches (still a question in the Eagles offense), then he'll be highly productive.
I am , as is all Eagles fans, counting on you being correct!!!
I can’t wait to see Barkley in this offense. With Moore’s system, I think he could be phenomenal if healthy. I’m talking All Pro level.
