Thanks Ray!

[@suplexcities]

Hate to tell everyone this, Hurts looked like 2021 vs Atlanta. He missed wide open receivers, Dotson and Goedert were open, Hurts didn't see it, or decided not to throw it, for whatever reason.

[@flybirds2024]

Consider this, the defense is in the bottom 3 in both run and pass defense! Unless Hurts and the offense can score 35+ then this will be a below .500 team! Without AJ there is a real chance the will be 1-3 going into the bye week!

[@kor3427]

Please just bring Ray back for post game....please! Just him. Noone else. No more yelling Barkann, no mush mouth, no disheveled Rube, no Jaws. We need a real voice of reason to drown our fuckin sorrows.

[@TheLoboCinema]

From now on let this be a teaching moment to this team. We have to change our identity to purely offense. Run/Chew the clock and take as many points as we can including FGs. Even if it’s a 50+ yard FG. Barely have our defense out there. At least if our defense is barely playing they will be energized to tackle.

[@bigjigg5672]

AGREED 1000% We keep trying to be CUTE & LOSE because of it.

[@floopjack152]

Love Ray but Jalen kept leaving the pocket for no reason

[@redstone5149]

Jalen Hurts has hit his ceiling. He is what he is.

[@mustbemeech]

I agree but defense needs to be better

[@ustuppy]

Get ready for 1-3 with A.J. out.

[@mikeyj.philly]

I think this is clearly shaping up to be a bottom-out season. Fire coaches, Jalen goes on Wentz watch for next season, etc

[@edgrabowski6797]

Yup it’s on the way. The saints will destroy that defense then Tampa. Ouch .

[@Elsa_chin]

Saquon don’t have to catch shit! Stop throwing passes to a running back and RUN THE DAMN BALL!!!!!!

[@RegalEagle1979]

I completely, wholeheartedly agree with Ray that Sirianni should have taken the points on that first drive. Take the points early. Not taking those points wasted a really solid drive and all of those great runs from Saquon. Such a stupid move. That said, I disagree on kicking it on 4th and 3 late in the game. That decision didn't help the Eagles much. Whether you have a 3 or 6 point lead, a touchdown beats you. And that's exactly what happened.

[@buckstraw925]

If you really want to play it safe then you just kneel down. There is always a chance for a fumble as well.

[@mr.nmtrue505]

Fire sirriani

[@edgrabowski6797]

The eagles defense is worse than last year, Howie vision = bust. Davis, smith, dean, huff. The saints will destroy that defense and then Tampa. 1 and 3 is on the way.

[@mptr1783]

Nick can't help himself, especially on Primetime games. Going for it on 4th and 3 early in the game was fine IF you run it on 3rd down. At least you make 4th down manageable. This guy is like a HS coach who thinks hes playing the JV

[@mikem668]

Hurts reverted to his old self. Confused and running like a chicken with his head cut off. He's a mediocre QB. And he's gonna get hurt. Brown, Smith and Barkley are great. You just need a good coach and a QB that can make good decisions and distribute the ball with no turnovers. Hurts can say goodbye forever to any MVP. Look at his performance over the last 10 games. They should also fire pom-pom boy. Last year they weren't that good, but they got lucky. They boasted how great they were because winning is all that matters. Then they stopped winning. And on Monday their luck ran out. 1-3 on the way.

[@mikeyj.philly]

Am I on crazy pills? What part of that defense looked even remotely close to average? 32nd in the league is average???

[@ryancampbell1847]

There is nothing average about this defense... We're gonna be Lucky to win 8 or 9 games with a defense that can't stop the run or rush the passer... All of Howie's first round picks in Davis.. Nolan are coming back to bite him... Got rid of Haas and expected Nolan to step in???? To be honest we deserve this for the decisions made in the off-season

[@mikeyj.philly]

@@ryancampbell1847 yeah I mean it's not rocket science. If Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith are as bad as they seem (and it's probably time to admit we've seen enough) this is a total disaster and we will be heading for a major rebuild. You cannot miss on 3 consecutive first round picks and contend. Just doesn't happen.

[@bigjigg5672]

​@@mikeyj.phillyHATE to admit it, but OTHER than Jalen Carter it ain't looking good for these picks......

[@mikeyj.philly]

@@bigjigg5672 Carter looks awful since mid season last year

[@bigjigg5672]

@@mikeyj.philly Awful? That's not accurate and you know it. C'mon. Not spectacular yes & unfortunately that's what he looked like at first. Point being, he's a player! These other 2, might just be JAGS.

[@patferry4128]

These players & coaches better realize that this next game is the most important game of their lives.

[@TheLenze]

Siriani’s fault.

[@invaderzim133]

Can I hear more about MHS Lift???

[@Vexx109]

Lol I mean to be fair Ray. No team can afford to lose any game. The niners cant afford to lose to the Vikings, the cowboys can’t afford to lose to the saints. I don’t think any team says oh we are playing X team…we can afford to lose them.

[@eaglesmgc9242]

This guy decamara is a joke! An absolute joke!!!!
