Wentz calls Eagles’ performance “extremely frustrating

Wentz indicated he thought the story of the game was more that the Giants’ defense played well than that the Eagles’ offense played poorly.

“We don’t go into a game thinking we’re going to struggle like that and go 0-for-9 on third downs and only put up a couple points,” Wentz said. “But I’ve got to give a lot of credit to that defense. I thought we had a good game plan ready to go. They made a lot more plays than us and we didn’t deserve to win.”

I lack respect for competitors that lay the blame of a loss at their own feet vs giving the competition credit.
I dont care what Pederson said last week

I really think the Wentz-Eagles marriage is headed for a divorce.

Wentz makes some great throws but sometimes he's so inaccurate it's almost comical. I don't see him ever being consistent enough to win a championship.
I watched both Wentz and Pederson's post game pressers

and both gave it up for the Giants. I urge Giants fans to watch them.

Pederson was saying how Graham's scheme was why they weren't successful.

Wentz said they try to keep everything in front and they do a great job.

There are already rumors that the Colts will attempt to trade for Wentz this offseason. Reich was the OC for Wentz during his best season before he left for the Colts.

Yeah, they drafted Jalen Hurts for a reason. You don't draft a QB in the 2nd round when you already have one unless you don't plan on having the original for much longer.
the Giants tackling  
mittenedman : 11/16/2020 10:07 am : link
is great right now. thats part of what Wentz and Pederson are complimenting. Check it down and the receiver gets whalloped as soon as he catches it. No YAC. one of those intangible aspects to the game - you get frustrated as the D beats you up.

Jalen Hurts has been so unimpressive every time he is in the game, I don't even know what they think they have with him.
Eagles will turn into the 2012-2018 Giants...  
BillKo : 11/16/2020 12:05 pm : link
....they have major issues.

First, big contract to the QB (who is now a question mark based on performance) which will inhibit them from signing players. They are in dire cap situation and will have to purge veteran players. They might end up trying to move him.

On top of that, they are getting older (Kelsey, Cox, Graham, etc). These players will need to be replaced by good drafting.

And the topper, the HC is not a very good coach. Tremendously overrated if you don't follow closely. He caught ligtening in a bottle with the RPO in 2017, a weaker NFC field, and an excellent assistant in Reich.

His play calling is horrid.

NYG, Washington, and Dallas are all going to pass them IMO over the next few seasons unless they hit it big in their drafts.

And...they are still the front runners for the divison this year IMO just because of their veteran leadership/players...but that's all coming to an end.

they didn't run Sanders 30 times. That guy was killing us.

It isn't a rumor. It was Boomer saying IF Wentz was available then HE THINKS Indy would be interested. That is like saying if Aaron Donald was available that we'd be interested. You file that under "no shit Sherlock".

Look at the Eagles cap situation for next year and then look at Wentz's cap hit. I don't see how it is even a possibility financially. 2022? Sure. 2021? Don't see it at all.

I don't think it's that simple. I think the giants were daring Philly to stick with the run, had Philly committed to it I imagine the Giants adjust.

Have played very poorly against the Giants all year long and it’s not our offense or defense it’s just poor production. The Eagles suck but it’s hard to imagine a team going 0-9, on third downs that’s just disastrous to any game plan.

agreed, nothing worse than the "better team lost" gripes. Good for Wentz here
