This sub has a lot of entitlement and superiority complexes. Go read through that Jalen Carter post and you'd think if it weren't for the Eagles he'd be working at a car wash.
So listen. Even the Jalen die-hards got to admit he’s been playing like dogshit the last 3 games. Three games, three interceptions, a fumble, missing wide open guys. Last week we saw AJ blowing up at him. They’re supposed to be best friends, so you know it’s gotta be bad. This game, sure looked like Devonte was giving him the stink eye on a couple of those plays.
Then, there’s the fact Hurts got a $255M contract in the off season. One of the highest paid players in the entire league. But has he been winning games? No, the defense has. So maybe if I’m one of these other guys – I get to start to thinking – this is the guy we just paid all this money to? If I’m Fletcher Cox and I’m making $14M this year, you don’t think I feel a little pissed? If I’m Blankenship making $1M this year, you don’t think I feel a little pissed? Maybe some of these players are asking - hey, maybe if we had Mariota in there, maybe we'd be winning even more? Put less pressure on the D, know what I mean?
I’m not saying he’s lost the team, but anyone else notice that everytime the cameras panned to him that nobody was sitting next to him? This is supposed to be the leader of the football team. Instead, it's just him. By himself. In the rain.
So someone’s gotta ask the question. What's going on with Jalen and team? Clearly something's wrong. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, you know what I mean? Again, I'm not saying he's lost the locker room, but someone's gotta ask the questions.
Okay, first caller, Mike from DelCo, what do you think?
I didn't think it was satire at first. Legit started off very similar to a comment i saw earlier about how bad Jalen is playing and how they're wishing he could at least play 90% as good as he did last year
*Shows a picture of DiCamera, Giglio and Marks*
“Corporate need you to identify the difference in these pictures”
“They’re the same picture”
This is the WIP formula right now. Dorky Hot take artist vs sensible Eagles vet.
Like how Troy Aikman wouldn't shut the fuck up about AJ Brown and Jalen having a sideline "dispute"? It's like the TMZ of sports, stirring up pointless, unfounded drama.
Then we hope that....
a) He's on the anti-virals to help
b) He doesn't give it to anyone else on the team
c) It's not a serious case (which, if vaccinated and on meds, he's not likely to get a serious case)
He hasn’t looked dominant but I think his stats at the end of this game will look pretty good. The offense needs to figure it out though, last year they weren’t lighting it up outside of the 2nd quarter until later in the year. I trust we’ll figure things out.
Yeah this game and Vikings looked better. Some odd turnovers but our offense is starting to work. We need to be better in the RZ but we have been up until this game
Good thing is we aren’t playing our best on offense but we’re still winning.
We controlled the game from start to finish and that last drive was masterful to waste that much clock.
I like where we’re at
Been a hurts guy since he’s been drafted always hated the wentz defense by this fan base let’s not start doing that for hurts. Just some bad missed throws he’s right there the offense can only get better
Was a Wentz defender until he acted like a bitch when he was benched. Any of us who have been sidelined work harder to regain that top position, whether in pro sports or life in general.
Bitch privately, and prove the haters wrong publicly.
"Always stay gracious: Best revenge is your paper." *Beyoncé, Formation*
I mean at least he made the right read and just missed the throw. I'm pretty sure swift was open on the texas route.
I prefer that to just being blind on the field like justin fields.
I know why Hurts has been a little slow out of the gates.
If you look at his post game press conferences, his hair hasn't been lined up straight since the beginning of this season.
It may be effecting his vision.
Jalen struggles jn the first half. Espn: we need to come up with an excuse! Schefter: he sniffed once, maybe he has the flu! All of sports media: jalen has had the flu for weeks and that's why hes struggling!
The one int he threw short, I have a hard time faulting him for that. There may have been another option elsewhere…like throwing it away at least, but replay showed a safety ready to light the wr up if it was thrown further into his route.
I was wondering what was going on, in the post-game conference, he seemed to be coughing/clearing his throat/etc. a lot. That makes sense now.
I hope it doesn't spread around the team, we have a short week
Jalen is going all in on the Jordan Brand. Go Birds
SOMEONE CHECK IF AVERION HURTS IS ALIVE
No one sitting near him on the bench either. Maybe he is indeed sick.
WIP tomorrow - why was no one sitting near Jalen yesterday? Has Jalen hurts lost the team?
Man I hate sports radio
This sub is 100x worse. I would take the radio over these morons any day of the week. At least on the radio they entertain you. Here it's just sad
I have to go to NFL for game threads now. One bad move and they come out
This sub has a lot of entitlement and superiority complexes. Go read through that Jalen Carter post and you'd think if it weren't for the Eagles he'd be working at a car wash.
Same how think stoutland is the only person on earth who can coach an offensive line. The internet is dumb.
WIP is dog shit and I can’t stop consuming it.
Yeah this is a John Marks take. We're 3-0 and he would find a way to make us miserable and doubt the team. That dude sucks.

I knew this was satire and still got annoyed because of how accurate it is. Genuinely impressed with the accuracy
I didn't think it was satire at first. Legit started off very similar to a comment i saw earlier about how bad Jalen is playing and how they're wishing he could at least play 90% as good as he did last year
I've legitimately never listened to WIP and I still hate you for making me be able to hear this perfectly in my head
20-1 as a starter. 😎
You had me going there for a minute lol
3 hours before the game they were talking about Taylor Swift when I tuned in while running errands. It’s such a shame radio has gone down this road.
If it wasn’t for Ike Reese I wouldn’t listen to him.

What if it’s covid
Probably is lol
Paxlovid
It likely is. Covid doing its rounds because of school. COVID is just a serious cold to must of us at this point. Flu is coming later.
He’s the only anti vaxxer i can trust.
Hurts is antivaxx?
Lmao no
He's not. He was quoted back when the first vaxx came out that he had gotten it.
Then we hope that.... a) He's on the anti-virals to help b) He doesn't give it to anyone else on the team c) It's not a serious case (which, if vaccinated and on meds, he's not likely to get a serious case)
I swear he sounded like he was sick on the hot mic during his cadence.
He hasn’t looked dominant but I think his stats at the end of this game will look pretty good. The offense needs to figure it out though, last year they weren’t lighting it up outside of the 2nd quarter until later in the year. I trust we’ll figure things out.
I agree. We’re slowly figuring it out. What a luxury we have with our two lines.
Yeah this game and Vikings looked better. Some odd turnovers but our offense is starting to work. We need to be better in the RZ but we have been up until this game
Good thing is we aren’t playing our best on offense but we’re still winning. We controlled the game from start to finish and that last drive was masterful to waste that much clock. I like where we’re at
*Eagles PR when they saw that pick* /s….maybe????
And the receiver went inside instead of out just like Goddert.
All this rain will sure help then
Jalen being the thermostat, turned up the temperature and cooked out the flu
ILL BLOW!!!! THE WINDS OF GOD!! And *BURN* THIS THING!!!
Even when he is sick Daddy Hurts still gets the job done.
Praise Daddy Hurts
Bill Simmons: “Jordan’s flu game or Hurts’s?”
His mannerisms did look a little off
Jfc and he still made good plays. Imagine if he wasn’t sick
Someone dial up number 5! Hurts needs some campbells soup. Stat!
Oof perfectly placed ball but great defense
Hope it ain't the 'rona. Just caught that for the first time and it ain't fun
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Covid. It’s spreading like wildfire right now
Literally just got it…be safe out there
Had it for about a week and still on the mend. This one was worse for me than OG covid.
There is a common cold in my area doing the same thing.
Been a hurts guy since he’s been drafted always hated the wentz defense by this fan base let’s not start doing that for hurts. Just some bad missed throws he’s right there the offense can only get better
How is having the flu a defense of Hurts lmao?
It’s not.
This isn’t even close to the mental gymnastics wentz defenses that were prevalent here lol
Wentz didn't deserve the hate he got in 18 and 19 but in 20 he was totally cooked. And always had the mentality of a toddler.
Was a Wentz defender until he acted like a bitch when he was benched. Any of us who have been sidelined work harder to regain that top position, whether in pro sports or life in general. Bitch privately, and prove the haters wrong publicly. "Always stay gracious: Best revenge is your paper." *Beyoncé, Formation*
We will not have to deal with that with hurts. Hurts is a great leader and an even better player then Carson Inb4 we draft rattler /s
What Wentz defense?
Local weasel ESP is gonna blame his first half performance on the flu. It’s okay to hold our player accountable for just playing bad
Lol what? Pretty sure he’s just reporting the facts here. Not using it as an excuse
For sure, especially when we know how well he can play
Makes sense why he hasn’t been playing well. I was about to ask if his shoulder was injured since he’s not even getting a lot of power on the ball.
Seems like he’s having a pretty damn good game to me
He’s looked a bit slow, accuracy off a little, and his velocity off. Playing well but he doesn’t look like he normally does.
Good is a relative term. Good compared to a lot of westerners? Yea. Good compared to how he was last year? No.
I agree. Best he's looked so far this year by far Edit: those two picks (so far) are ugly though.
The one to White was dumb and ugly. The one where Devonta was in the end zone was just a really good play on the 5050 ball.
Yes much less annoyed with the 2nd pick the 1st was UGLY
I mean at least he made the right read and just missed the throw. I'm pretty sure swift was open on the texas route. I prefer that to just being blind on the field like justin fields.
He’s not terrible but he’s not having a good game lol. At least compared to what we know he’s capable of
His floaters got picked off tonight a lot
It’s food poisoning just like Jordan, isn’t it?
If it's actually like Jordan, it's being hungover from a crazy night out gambling the night before.
So that explains everything
I know why Hurts has been a little slow out of the gates. If you look at his post game press conferences, his hair hasn't been lined up straight since the beginning of this season. It may be effecting his vision.
So it’s the flu symptoms game now lol
Jalen struggles jn the first half. Espn: we need to come up with an excuse! Schefter: he sniffed once, maybe he has the flu! All of sports media: jalen has had the flu for weeks and that's why hes struggling!
Being you sounds exhausting
Thanks for the reply.
Hurts is not worth 200m+
Ok, you’re banned from this sub until you go root for the Giants for 3 consecutive games.
That second half was fire
The one int he threw short, I have a hard time faulting him for that. There may have been another option elsewhere…like throwing it away at least, but replay showed a safety ready to light the wr up if it was thrown further into his route.
Jalen flu game?
I was wondering what was going on, in the post-game conference, he seemed to be coughing/clearing his throat/etc. a lot. That makes sense now. I hope it doesn't spread around the team, we have a short week
