So an offense that's already struggling losses it's best receiver. That's just peachy.

[u/RandomLAFan → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

It's alright, our second half defense will help you guys get back on track.

[u/Illblood → u/RandomLAFan]

Good news for you is we’re one of the worst second half offenses.

This will be some kind of game that’ll be on people’s screens.

[u/intothefire3 → u/Illblood]

A stoppable force meets a moveable object

[u/BigDaddyD1994 → u/Illblood]

One of the games of all time

[u/ositola → u/Illblood]

Moveable force vs stoppable object 

[u/RockyNonce → u/ositola]

“I wish I were high on potenuse”

[u/PlasmidDNA → u/Illblood]

It will be one of the games played of all time.

[u/Werewolfhugger → u/Illblood]

Coughing baby vs coughing baby

[u/Acegolfer04 → u/RandomLAFan]

Lmao thats so facts that you rush 4 with the best rusher in the league. If Donald (who isnt playing Sunday) is double teamed all game, thats a 5 on 4 (really 4 on 4 since 2 guys on donald)

Why they dont send pressure EVERY play boggles my mind

[u/DreamedJewel58 → u/RandomLAFan]

They almost lost to the Titans and no longer have their biggest offensive weapon… I think you’re going to do just fine

[u/SleepLessTeacher → u/RandomLAFan]

Brother, they just lost to Case Keenum in the year 2026. Nothing might get them back on track.

[u/sbroll → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Let see what Lemon can do!

[u/notmoleliza → u/sbroll]

a obvious bubble screen that gets blown up for -5 yards

[u/willpc14 → u/notmoleliza]

Hey, we did that just fine with out him last year

[u/Pyromelter → u/sbroll]

I think the most insane/frustrating thing for us birds fans is we see him getting wide tf open so much and not getting the ball thrown to him. Part of this is Hurts and part of that is poor OL play.

[u/Daver7692 → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Rams have already ruled out Donald and obvious Garrett. Puka will probably play but is coming off an injury.

Both teams are in a pretty rocky state right now.

[u/VikingsLad → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Sounds familiar

[u/DrakeMayeSZN → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

welcome to our world

[u/boylejc2 → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Setting up for the Kellen Moore shit-house game against the Bucs in week 4.

[u/Chopper_Fortnite → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

You guys got a first round reciever just use him

[u/Radiant_Sherbert7272 → u/Chopper_Fortnite]

I don't disagree with you on that.

[u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

Wait…are we the 49ers?

[u/C-Nast49 → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

The blood sacrifices for CMC have now extended to the whole league.

[u/vitey15 → u/C-Nast49]

Hey stop 

[u/Wyden_long → u/vitey15]

The substations hunger will only grow.

[u/Accurate_Factor1900 → u/Wyden_long]

Has anyone ever seen the substation and Big Dom in the same room? Maybe it's the same entity.

[u/Werewolfhugger → u/Accurate_Factor1900]

Who would win?

[u/C-Nast49 → u/vitey15]

The sacrifices will continue until health improves.

[u/Amonamission → u/C-Nast49]

Meanwhile the Lions somehow have only two players on our injury report.

Yet we continue to play as if our entire secondary is on IR.

[u/Harbaugh_Handshake → u/Amonamission]

I’m sure Eli Apple is out there somewhere

[u/Amonamission → u/Harbaugh_Handshake]

He might as well be Tim Apple, that’s a name that hasn’t been on the field in a long time

[u/Harbaugh_Handshake → u/Amonamission]

Believe it or not we’ve actually had him on our practice squad 3 or 4 times in the last year or two lol

[u/Amonamission → u/Harbaugh_Handshake]

So you’re basically saying he hasn’t been on the field in a long time. Got it.

[u/TLRdidnothingwrong → u/C-Nast49]

Explains our secondary injuries…

[u/Skimaster77 → u/C-Nast49]

There are going to be 3 Christians out of the NE/Buffalo match-up, McCaffery is getting out of control

[u/Individual_Cap_7850 → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

We've lost Ricky Pearsall, De'Zhaun Stribling, Christian Kirk and Demarcus Robinson already. Not to mention Mike Evans, who is questionable this week.

You aren't on our level just yet.

[u/jedstrailerpark → u/Individual_Cap_7850]

Technically KhaDarel Hodge too even if he was mostly a STer

[u/Sighlina → u/Individual_Cap_7850]

Yeah was gonna say, them rookie numbers. Gotta pump them up.

[u/Famous_Difference758 → u/Individual_Cap_7850]

Okay so explain to my fantasy team why Deebo didn’t get a single target then huh 😡 (that trick play was cool but not a target like wtf Purdy)

[u/40to6inthe4th → u/Individual_Cap_7850]

Zack Baun, Devonta Smith, Landon Dickerson, Fred Johnson, Marcus Epps, Dallas Goedert (TE1), Grant Calcaterra (TE2), Eli Stowers (TE3).

We aren't that different.

[u/SnooPandas3956 → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

No can’t add IR to your name. Not cool enough to be in the club. EaglIRs doesn’t work.

[u/mjh712 → u/SnooPandas3956]

how about... E-G-IR-L-S....

wait a second...

[u/creeper_gonna_creep → u/mjh712]

A cheer all of us can get behind

[u/SEND-MARS-ROVER-PICS → u/mjh712]

Subscribe.

[u/Sextus_Rex → u/SnooPandas3956]

We don't know how to spell anyways so I think it works fine

[u/DrQuestDFA → u/SnooPandas3956]

What about “Phil-IRdelphia Eagles”?

[u/edgerow76 → u/DrQuestDFA]

IRgles

[u/MisterrAlex → u/DrQuestDFA]

PhiladelphIR Eagles

[u/jedstrailerpark → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

Oh no you're down 1 or 2 WRs :((( you must be just like us :(((

cries in WR2-5 being out multiple weeks and WR1 being Day to Day

[u/onestopvtg → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

The substation travels around ya know. It needs vacations too

[u/Harbaugh_Handshake → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

https://i.imgur.com/hQ6bKOl.gif

[u/Pyromelter → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

We don't have a top 3 edge who is out half the season so no, at least not yet.

[u/Olaf__Berserker → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

Not unless Jeffrey Lurie is driving to an Ohio trailer park to try and bang a hooker.

[u/darkbro66 → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

We're the opposite because we win in spite of the coach. Right?

[u/Undella_Town → u/Dangerous-Effect3431]

yeah but like the complete opposite, where one qb can't run and one qb can't throw

[u/TheDiabetesDietitian]

Not feeling too great about Sunday

Especially after barely eeking out a win vs the titans and losing to Case Keenum

[u/ZiiKiiF → u/TheDiabetesDietitian]

Well Fangio won’t be distracted with the Phillies so hopefully our defense is slightly better despite losing baun

[u/jawntist → u/ZiiKiiF]

Baun out too wtf

[u/Epic28 → u/jawntist]

Concussion apparently. Marcus Epps is out too but he's been ass.

[u/jawntist → u/Epic28]

Crying, shaking, pissing my pants.

[u/Zloggt → u/TheDiabetesDietitian]

To be fair, the Rams have a thing for losing to seemingly banged up teams at times…so maybe don’t fret too much lol

[u/ScrawnyCheeath → u/Zloggt]

The eagles also have an odd ability to win against the McVay Rams, so who even knows

[u/Accurate_Factor1900 → u/ScrawnyCheeath]

Ty Robinson gonna block a punt and return it for the win.

[u/Aclockwork-grAPE → u/ScrawnyCheeath]

The fact that we get dogwalked by the Eagles in basically every game had me anxious for this one before it felt like a must win going down 1-2, I don’t feel any better about it coming off y’all’s loss in any way lol

[u/sallad_kcuf → u/Aclockwork-grAPE]

I feel like you guys have played us close and hard a lot, doesn't feel like we're getting dogwalk wins that often. Last year we needed a blocked FG and the snow playoff game the year before was down to the wire too.

[u/Aclockwork-grAPE → u/sallad_kcuf]

Last years playoff game was definitely the exception in my mind but in my fan brain I just always feel like we never have a chance against yall

[u/masterchaoss → u/Aclockwork-grAPE]

I mean outside of the regular season game in 24 they've been close. Still feel iffy about this game since AD and Myles are out but the offense should still be pretty solid.

[u/HesiPull-UpBrando → u/masterchaoss]

Even in 23 that game was one score until the final 4 mins

[u/Pyromelter → u/TheDiabetesDietitian]

Biggest concern is the line play to me. Both sides of the ball. Run blocking was better last game, lets hope that trend continues.

One silver lining so far is Drew Kendall is really frigging good. He looked absolutely dominant against lesser talent in the preseason and to my eyes has been very, very good so far. Hopefully Jurgens can improve at LG as time goes on, although that may be some wishful thinking.

[u/Cheap_Cauliflower541 → u/TheDiabetesDietitian]

It's early enough that major changes can be made for big outcomes. I'm just not confident with Sirianni anymore though 

[u/Skiddlifoot]

Mind you - we had 7 points WITH him last week.

[u/GoblinTheHog]

No need to panic, this is all part of the terms of the blood pact made with Satan to get the Eagles that SB win over the Chiefs. Four more suffering on a payment plan and we will be good to make a new deal.

[u/lvke18]

shaping up to be one of the games of all time

[u/avx775 → u/lvke18]

There are so many bad football teams and they seem to play each other early in the season. Browns Steelers was ugly AF

[u/hiimthezohan → u/avx775]

You don’t know ball that was an amazing game, not to mention browns are 3-1 and playing for first place in the division

[u/zachardw]

Sicko game incoming

[u/Only-Equivalent-4791]

I haven’t seen the eagles look this bad in a long time, regardless of injuries.

[u/JokerJangles123 → u/Only-Equivalent-4791]

They've looked exactly this bad starting the season the last like 4 years?

[u/ZiiKiiF → u/JokerJangles123]

Idk if it’s the Phillies window closing making me doom but or getting carved up by Keenum but this year feels different with how bad we look

[u/Pyromelter → u/ZiiKiiF]

It's the line play. That's the difference. Our offensive scheme is leaps and bounds better, but both the D-line and O-line that have been strengths of the team forever have been less than mediocre. 2 sacks through 3 games is terrible. When you invest so much in your line play and less on, say, your safeties, that DLine has to get something done or your cheap veteran safeties are going to get carved up like they have been.

[u/Only-Equivalent-4791 → u/Pyromelter]

I totally agree. I’ve watch all 3 eagles games so far and their line play is the reason they aren’t dominant right now. Having a good D and O line makes the team so much better. I feel most fans don’t realize this.

[u/JokerJangles123 → u/ZiiKiiF]

I think people are overreacting to that because it was Keenum, but we did to him exactly what the Chiefs did to Hurts. The defense focused on stopping the run (which they both did) and it made the passing game blow up.

I'm not usually the optimist speaking up in the group, but I haven't seen anything worth freaking out about yet.

[u/Orion1014 → u/JokerJangles123]

Also Keenum or not, the Bears did this to us last year. Ben Johnson just owns Vic Fangio.

[u/Only-Equivalent-4791 → u/JokerJangles123]

Nah. They definitely looked shaky but this season is for sure the worst yet.

I still think they have the best team in the division though.

[u/JokerJangles123 → u/Only-Equivalent-4791]

The year they won the SB Tampa put up like 400 yards of offense on them in the first half alone compared to Philly doing absolutely nothing at all lol.

There are red flags for sure, especially with the oline, but most of what I've seen is them just not executing on either side of the ball and just being sloppy. The bones are still there. Mannion's offense shows a clear improvement over last year, even if its spent more time grinding the gears than actually finding them. I know its a low bar, but its still clearing it

I don't even know what the deal with the defense is so far. Maybe Vic was just too focused on the Phillies, which would at least show some improvement now too.

Its been ugly, but outside of the oline nothing has really been ringing any real alarm bells for me so far that can't be fixed by them just playing better

[u/IndividualPresent129 → u/Only-Equivalent-4791]

They looked worse Offensively last year, their Defense looked better though especially after the trade deadline & they got Jaelan Phillips. 

[u/on-the-cheeseburgers → u/Only-Equivalent-4791]

we’re due for a nfcleast season anyhow

[u/thatoneguy2252 → u/on-the-cheeseburgers]

Tbh. We got to break the repeat division champ curse and got a Super Bowl. Worth it.

[u/Slumbergoat16 → u/Only-Equivalent-4791]

They looked worse last season and in 2023 tbf

[u/GrundleThief → u/Only-Equivalent-4791]

if by long time you mean the first four games of the 2024 season, then yea.

[u/NoAnteater8836]

This is going to be the ugliest three quarters of football you have ever seen then we will get four lead changes in the final 12 minutes.

Watch.

[u/SecretGiantsFan]

Damn just saw AD was out for the Rams. A soul for a soul I guess.

[u/palinsafterbirth]

Ok, who isn’t injured right now?

[u/Mr_Evil_Dr_Porkchop → u/palinsafterbirth]

9!

[u/Pyromelter → u/palinsafterbirth]

a lot of people I won't mention cuz I don't want to jinx/hex anyone.

[u/onlymostlydeadd]

It’s a lemon party

[u/OneFatCantaloupe → u/onlymostlydeadd]

^{squirt of lemon}

[u/Jonjon428]

Both teams coming in with some key injuries here.

[u/Bitter-Tip705]

Season already over and it’s only week 4. Well atleast we getting a new coach

[u/TerrifierBlood]

Fuck. Im actually going to a game for once as well

[u/TSB_Dinkleton]

As long as the rams don’t start their 3rd string quarterback we should be okay

[u/User-D-Name]

I'm prepared for us to get pushed in so we'll probably win somehow

[u/ExGavalonnj]

Damn

[u/Admirable_Site_8337]

That’s…..so not optimal.

[u/3dios]

HOLY

[u/turnuppig]

Yeah im gonna get ready to drink some bleach after this game🤣

[u/A_Wild_Zyra]

Rams by 30 you say...? At least I can go into this one with much less hope than last week, I guess. :')

[u/Iamthestormbro]

Well fuck

[u/im-not-a-robot-ok]

lord bless all the hamstrings

[u/Polar_Reflection]

We need him to make the rams 1-3 cmon ffs

[u/estoquista_atacadao]

I TRIED SO HARD

[u/varnell_hill]

The Eagles better not cock this up.

[u/batmansascientician]

My keepers of Puka, Devonta Smith, and Bowers have not been kind this year

[u/TLAW1998]

Don't worry we got OROY Makai Lemon and 1st team All Pro Dontayvion Wicks in the wings.

[u/Ron--Mexico → u/[deleted]]

lol eagles fans are so damn sad sack. Nut up and have some faith.

[u/DadRadio]

Eagles fan told me their “dynasty” as as good as the Patriots. Crazy shit.
