He's overpaid, but he's about the only receiver who did anything today. Ertz was double-teamed and still had a decent game, and the whole rest of the crew just sucked. Not Wentz's fault at all.

Back to back weeks where a receiver dropped an easily catchable ball for the win

There were plenty of drops and other mistakes this week. Three fumbles (two lost), three offensive PIs, Wentz missing Hollins for six, Goedert dropping a TD etc.

7 dropped passes. 3 Offensive pass interference calls. 2 Fumbles (lost + 1 that was recovered) Give up a 100 yard kickoff return...when all season you've been kicking the ball out of the endzone Hardly anyone can get open Offensive line not playing consistently-well Andy-Reid level clock management And they still SHOULD have won.... This game was disgusting. I mean, thankfully, the NFC is weak this season. If we get guys healthy--and don't lose others--we may still be ok but the lack of pressure from the defensive line isn't getting any better. And why the FUCK does Schwartz constantly have guys playing 10 yards+ off receivers then giving up space at the snap when they CONSTANTLY get beaten this way? Why can't they get guys to stop looking in on the QB and biting on every double move thrown at them? I'm really tired of watching that. Groh still sucks as an offensive coordinator. Can we get a real OC in?  He really needs to go. Why are we ALWAYS snapping the ball with 3 seconds or less on the play clock? How about keeping the defense guessing when the play will happen? Why do teams constantly just take a knee at the end of a half even though they may make something happen? I mean, they had 40 seconds on the clock with maybe 15 yards to go to get into FG range and we take a knee. One reasonably-good play and they're in FG range. We lost by 3. You never know when those extra seconds come in handy. This has driven me crazy for years. Does Pedersen understand, when you're down 2 scores with less than 10 minutes left, you really should have a bit of a sense of urgency? I mean, why are they huddling on every play? Why are they letting the clock run and snapping the ball with less than 3 seconds on the play clock in this situation? The mistakes are frustrating but they are correctable. The mistakes the coaching staff keeps making have not been corrected over the years. It's really gotten old watching these same mistakes week in and week out. The only good thing was they actually scored in the first quarter. Of course, they couldn't cover a kickoff return so... |

The clock management was horrible, but it looked like we were going to milk the clock for the last score at around 3 minutes which was a pleasant surprise.....until 2 incompletes followed by a horrifically bad 4th down play call. |

I have a lot of complaints before I even get to Nellie's hands. Wentz looking like an average QB. He underthrew Sanders twice. One was a definite six with a good throw. An O line that is supposed to be good getting smacked around for 3 weeks. A secondary that can't cover. I guess this is what you get when 1/3 of the starters don't play in the preseason. oh...and Doug making some sad play calling decisions. It will get better....I hope. Wentz had some good throws but the drop thing is legit for 3 big misses, not 10.

I didn't get the feeling they were milking the clock at the end. My complaint is, when they were down 10 (i.e. TWO scores) with like 6 minutes left. They were taking their sweet ole time getting to the line and getting the play going. Clock management in this game was as bad anything from Reid we saw. It was horrible. |

That went well... |

With as many important games that are settled by three points or less, there is no excuse not to at least try to set yourself up for a field goal. And when there is less than 8 seconds on the clock, you don't have a damn thing to lose by going for a hail mary |

A little over 3 minutes left we had the ball, and they ran a play and took the full 40 seconds. This gave me hope they were going to play for the final score and keep their timeouts (had all 3) in case of a turnover or freak play, etc. Of course that went out the window the following plays. |

But, even that mentality makes bad sense. You're still behind. You still have to score. You still have to put a drive together to get into position to score. I hear people saying this all of the time when coming back. It's not like they were on the goal line or anything. And, if they only got a FG, the game was only tied. Either way, clock management was shit. |

I hear people saying this all of the time when coming back. It's not like they were on the goal line or anything. And, if they only got a FG, the game was only tied. Either way, clock management was shit. That mentality makes perfect sense. You're playing for the final possession. Obviously you have to score, but the point is to score with little to no time remaining, since your defense couldn't be counted on. Especially with 3 timeouts, which allows you to overcome a turnover and still get the ball back. But as I said, it doesn't matter since after the first play, it was incomplete passes and a horrible 4th down call. |

I understand the reasoning behind the thought, however, you're playing with fire when you're behind and trying to run the clock down AND you're nowhere near being in a position to tie or go ahead. That makes no sense. |
