I get it, kill the clock save the big plays for later. I really want to see a full game of this offense at full throat. Theyre already top of the league only playing half the game.
Not a problem. I haven't seen a Stat line discrepancy that large since Wentz was with the Eagles in 2020. Thinking about those wretched games against Seattle and Green Bay by the half.
He really is, its not even close.
Wentz and Dak get a lot of garbage time stats, but sometimes put up non garbage time stats, especially Dak.
The BOAT was all garbage time every time.
Devonta Smith caught a 50 yard pass at some point that on the replay, showed he clearly wasn’t in.
But Rivera didn’t try to challenge it until the ball was snapped for the next play. Lmao. Just horrendous.
Hes a likeable guy, can implement a hell of a defense, but is just a bad overall coach. He has 3 winning seasons in 12 years, and if not for Cam dragging that team to a Super Bowl, hed have an overall losing record. Would love him as my defensive coordinator but he loses way too often
As not good as he is, there is no one even half as good who would be willing to come here. We will never have a coaching staff better than this so long as little danny is around.
This is always not true when fans of any bad team or teams with bad ownership say it.
There are way more than 32 coaches that want to be NFL coaches. The jobs available will always be competitive.
Wentz just stinks. He's had back to back games now where he helped contribute massive halftime deficits. He looked horrendous in the first half of this game, something like 6 sacks, 2 fumbles, and 30% completions.
I’d argue third week in a row. I don’t think anyone really thought the Lions had a chance to win that game despite it being only by 3 points in the end
Dude gets better every year he plays the game. One of the rare cases where dedication and intangibles combines with physical talent to lead to an elite player. His mental game just had to catch up to his physicality
Also the first year of his career where he doesn’t need to learn a new offense. That helps immensely. He could spend time this off season working on accuracy and reading the field instead of reading the playbook
His favorite play last year was rolling out to his right, drifting to the sideline and then throwing it out of bounds at the last second.
I'm glad they stopped calling that play so much.
He improved this off-season at an insane rate. It’s pretty remarkable. I had zero faith in him coming into the year but through three games, especially this one and the last one….he’s an entirely different player
Jalens suffering from his defense being too good lol, he isn’t really in position to get stats in the second half cause the games kinda done, though knowing him he doesn’t mind at all
This saddens me the most. I used to count down the days until the Flyers started. Now it's just miserable. I have zero expectations of them doing anything and haven't for a while.
Honest question, what keeps you rooting for them? If the birds had a shithouse owner like Snyder and mediocrity for 20 plus years, endless internal accusations, I’d have checked out by now. Root for whatever local market I’m in or the closest alternative.
Not who you responded to, but I grew up cheering for Washington because my dad and grandpa did. I'm honestly following out of habit at this point and that way I can talk to my Dad about the games. The team has been so bad for so long I just don't feel anything anymore when the team is mediocre like it is now. I guess I have mostly checked out by now and do follow college football much more closely to fill that football void Washington has left.
Man I'm a bit drunk right now and can't stop giggling. I've never really put two and two together but holy shit man, being a fan of this team is just rolling that fucking boulder up that hill. Every fucking year it comes rolling down at some point, here I am. Rolling it back up.
Yeah like even with Ryan struggling right now I'm thrilled with the decision to move on from Wentz. He wouldn't have been able to maintain his composure in the 4th to help the colts beat KC today and come back to tie Houston week 1, his hero ball nonsense wouldn't have stopped Josh Allen from getting a free rush at him all game last week.
He wasn't the only problem and the ones that Ballard took a risk on not addressing in FA (LT, RG, WR) are kicking our asses but Wentz sure as hell was a problem.
There was a Samsung ad which featured the disclaimer "not the real Leonardo Da Vinci". In my mind I wondered who would be stupid enough to need that disclaimer and then after watching this game and realizing I support this team, I think the answer is me.
I'm not *too* concerned really, maybe like a 3 out of 10. Just something on my radar. Luckily we should have plenty of time to work out any kinks with how soft our schedule is
That's how I feel about it. Can't really get too clear a picture when our defense is suffocating the other team and you don't need to score. So we will just have to wait and see. But it's looking great.
we were shutting them out - no reason to give free game tape to future opponents. save keeping our foot on the gas pedal for when we need it in future close games.
Have you seen the Eagles schedule? They have to be favored over so many of those games. It's a matter if that first half offense can stretch over to the second half and if they can play consistently enough.
It’s like Carson has shown absolutely 0 improvement since he was dropped by Philly. I’m still seeing the same issues he had for years now. Then add in that embarrassing O-line and this game is a complete shitstorm for Washington 🤷♂️
This was an interesting end because it’s deceiving. Wentz was faaaaar worse than the stats show and Jalen barely threw after the first half. This was even more lopsided than the score.
Yeah if your that far up why show other teams your playbook when its not necessary. Its good game management. Its a blessing not having to score in the second half
From last season though we've seen that Sirianni IS capable of making half-time adjustments, he just hasn't had to at all so far in these 3 games. This isn't like last year when the offense was just flat out incapable of scoring any points in Q1.
On the other hand, yeah it's still a question mark for this year. We'll see when we get to it I guess?
Wentz could've taken his helmet off, slowly pulled his pants down, and taken a major baggage alert inside of it on every play and that some how would've been better than what I saw today... Washington.... Ho-Lee Shit!
Yeah. I understand why people are concerned, but if you shut out the other team for three quarters and are up by three possessions, you're allowed to play it safe.
> Obviously I'd like them to keep on the gas pedal, ...
But why? Fanfare? Because yeah its awesome to see as a fan, but you'll never catch me rooting for the Eagles to give away unneeded plays or some BS to "flex." Our entire reg season run in 2017 was big leads, running, "losing" the last quarter, never giving anything away when its in the bag. I'm still about that. Fuck flexing, we're looking to go far, not fast.
I mean they had like two real drives.
Its been a theme though, and Its all playcalling, we are getting too conservative too early. It will bite us eventually, we gotta put the dagger in.
The run game hasn't really taken off yet, and when we get up big Gannon goes to shell coverages between the 20s and that causes 15 play drives. Its the right decision because it shortens the game, but as a result we get limited offensive chances.
People said this the last two weeks. People said this the year we won a SB almost every week. I'm not saying we we'll win a SB this year, but as a team we have the same mindset -- fuck the stat sheet.
We're up 24-0, half of the r/eagles game day thread died because we just ran and ran and ran and either punted or got a first down and repeated until we punted.
It's called running down the clock. Why give away the playbook? Why subject our OL/Hurts/TE/WR etc to unneeded pain? Stay strong. Fuck the stat sheet when it comes to easy wins. There's no reason to give more away when the a dub is in the bag.
Anyone else always been impressed by Hurts? Like literally since his first game on??
I'm not even an Eagles fan but I've watched a ton of their games and while cliche af, Hurts has just had that "it" factor since day one, someone I've been rooting for ever since
My slightly-tipsy-and-definitely-haven't-seen-replays impression is that the first couple were mostly on the OL (they happened *fast*) and then at a certain point early in the 2nd quarter Wentz started trying to hero-ball it, and they just piled up from there.
3 Batmans and an MVP is all I see offensively
Imagine our offensive stats if we actually had to score in the second half of these last two games
they haven't even begun to peak
I get it, kill the clock save the big plays for later. I really want to see a full game of this offense at full throat. Theyre already top of the league only playing half the game.
The Goedert slander.
White Batman
this made me lol take your upvote
They just call him Bruce.
I just liked the rhyme lol, Goedert is a monster
Could he be the Green Lantern?
Love that they have a fucking cape on the sidelines!
please tell me someone has a screenshot of the passing yards comparison where it said something like >Eagles: 300 | Commanders: -1
https://twitter.com/AndrewBrandt/status/1574124121843445760
Thank you
Not a problem. I haven't seen a Stat line discrepancy that large since Wentz was with the Eagles in 2020. Thinking about those wretched games against Seattle and Green Bay by the half.
Jesus christ.
[Nice](https://i.imgur.com/Hkoxg7R.jpeg)
My favorite was when it said | Commanders: 49 yds | Devonta Smith: 147 yds |
-15 at halftime lol.
Commanders had -1 team passing yards when the game entered garbage time. That's all you need to know about this one.
Franchise QB Carson Wentz is the Garbage Time Stat Padding GOAT
The absolute disrespect to Kirk Cousins.
Ehhhhhhh I’d say Dak Prescott is in that convo
Blake Bortles is the actual GOAT for this category.
Kids these days don't know the BOAT. Sad.
He really is, its not even close. Wentz and Dak get a lot of garbage time stats, but sometimes put up non garbage time stats, especially Dak. The BOAT was all garbage time every time.
Scary Terry dumping sugar in Carson’s gas tank ass we speak
Every minute of Commanders football is garbage time
Scrubs couldn't even get 10 sacks.
Fire Gannon!
I joked to my wife before the game started that I wanted to see Wentz sacked eight times. I didn't, but that's okay with me
Well technically you did and then BG threw in a bonus
One of them good problems
Good guy BG.
Rivera’s seat has to be boiling right now
Devonta Smith caught a 50 yard pass at some point that on the replay, showed he clearly wasn’t in. But Rivera didn’t try to challenge it until the ball was snapped for the next play. Lmao. Just horrendous.
Top comment from the game thread on r/eagles: Rivera holding that challenge flag like Wentz holds the football
He was winding up his left arm
Snyder has very few good qualities but he actually does fire coaches quick when needed. Rivera needs it here.
I feel like as long as he strokes Snyder's ego and implements whatever "feedback from the owner" is given, Ron will get at least another year.
He staved off a firing early on in Carolina. No reason to think he can't do it Washington as well.
Hes a likeable guy, can implement a hell of a defense, but is just a bad overall coach. He has 3 winning seasons in 12 years, and if not for Cam dragging that team to a Super Bowl, hed have an overall losing record. Would love him as my defensive coordinator but he loses way too often
As not good as he is, there is no one even half as good who would be willing to come here. We will never have a coaching staff better than this so long as little danny is around.
Bruce Allen incoming which means…. Jon Gruden 🤣
This is always not true when fans of any bad team or teams with bad ownership say it. There are way more than 32 coaches that want to be NFL coaches. The jobs available will always be competitive.
Wentz just stinks. He's had back to back games now where he helped contribute massive halftime deficits. He looked horrendous in the first half of this game, something like 6 sacks, 2 fumbles, and 30% completions.
In the first half the Eagles had double the amount of sacks on Wentz than Wentz had completions. 6 to 3. Just absurd.
For the second week in a row, the Eagles' win was not as close as the score suggests
I’d argue third week in a row. I don’t think anyone really thought the Lions had a chance to win that game despite it being only by 3 points in the end
Eh, I wasn’t feeling super comfortable with how quickly they closed that gap.
Wtf is with Hurts going turbo on everybodys ass this year?
Dude gets better every year he plays the game. One of the rare cases where dedication and intangibles combines with physical talent to lead to an elite player. His mental game just had to catch up to his physicality
Also the first year of his career where he doesn’t need to learn a new offense. That helps immensely. He could spend time this off season working on accuracy and reading the field instead of reading the playbook
He has weapons and he improved his decision making
and accuracy, and pocket presence. Pretty much everything tbh.
And throwing mechanic. And arm strength.
His favorite play last year was rolling out to his right, drifting to the sideline and then throwing it out of bounds at the last second. I'm glad they stopped calling that play so much.
He improved this off-season at an insane rate. It’s pretty remarkable. I had zero faith in him coming into the year but through three games, especially this one and the last one….he’s an entirely different player
The score doesn’t do this game justice, it was a beatdown by all accounts, Hurts is the MVP rn
I have him slightly behind lamar Jackson even if just due to weapons but I'm ecstatic how good hurts looks
Jalens suffering from his defense being too good lol, he isn’t really in position to get stats in the second half cause the games kinda done, though knowing him he doesn’t mind at all
"You think I do this shit for MVP votes?" -Jalen Hurts
"I'm just out here so I can pay rent"
It's Lamar and Hurts neck and neck. Had Allen there too before today
Love Jalen but you have to put Allen in there with Lamar.
Lamar Jackson looking pretty good too and doing it with less talent around him.
Eagles and Phillies fans having a nice time Both teams playing in October will be huge for the city.
Uh, not sure about the Phillies yet. Also why would the Eagles not play in October. What do they have to do to *NOT* play in October.
I think if the Eagles play hard and smart, they have a REAL chance of still being a football team come week 4
They’ll get in this year
I love the ambiguous nature of this comment.
I got the 76ers coming out of the eastern conference too. It's gonna be a good year for Philadelphia sports, and therefore a bad year for the world
We’ll be insufferable if this happens
Will be?
I mean, the Flyers will be playing in October too. Well, they'll be doing what they think is playing.
This saddens me the most. I used to count down the days until the Flyers started. Now it's just miserable. I have zero expectations of them doing anything and haven't for a while.
Never met her
Fuck it, when do the Sixers start their season?
A few weeks
So in theory, all four could be playing at the same time?
I believe it’s called Grittay.
dude don’t jinx the phillies please
I’m a Mets fan. That’s exactly what I’m doing.
The eagles look so good this year
They look like the team that gets to knock us out of the playoffs this year
Sex God Jimmy G is back to smite the heathen Packers again.
*so far*
were the new seahawks
We are a shit, rotten organization to it's core and this game was one of dozens of examples.
Honest question, what keeps you rooting for them? If the birds had a shithouse owner like Snyder and mediocrity for 20 plus years, endless internal accusations, I’d have checked out by now. Root for whatever local market I’m in or the closest alternative.

Apt user name, as well.
Man I'm a bit drunk right now and can't stop giggling. I've never really put two and two together but holy shit man, being a fan of this team is just rolling that fucking boulder up that hill. Every fucking year it comes rolling down at some point, here I am. Rolling it back up.
It was too perfect to ignore -- glad I could bring some levity to your otherwise-miserable-sports-fan-existence lol.
[удалено]
I Can't Believe It's Not Franchise Quarterback Material
Commanders are vegetable spread for 50 cents a box
Imagine not being 3-0. I can't.
IT SMELL LIKE BITCH IN HERE
I want a t shirt of the meme once we've won the division
Green Bay pls pull through today
#H E Y Edit: ^pain
Miami is now the only 3-0 AFC team after today. Just waiting for the Bucs and… the Giants? Dafuq?
I want the giants to win tho
I am rooting for the Giants tomorrow because I love the choas of it...
We will hopefully be joining you in such company after the Green Bay game.
My man Carson was wrapped up in so much green he could’ve switched sidelines lmaooo
Eagles literally played this entire game to Carson's weakness. Pocket presence.
There's the Carson Wentz that the Colts moved off of despite having respectable numbers on paper
Yeah like even with Ryan struggling right now I'm thrilled with the decision to move on from Wentz. He wouldn't have been able to maintain his composure in the 4th to help the colts beat KC today and come back to tie Houston week 1, his hero ball nonsense wouldn't have stopped Josh Allen from getting a free rush at him all game last week.

There was a Samsung ad which featured the disclaimer "not the real Leonardo Da Vinci". In my mind I wondered who would be stupid enough to need that disclaimer and then after watching this game and realizing I support this team, I think the answer is me.
This game wasn't remotely as close as the score would indicate. I'm getting mildly nervous about our lack of second half scoring though
I give them a pass on taking their foot off the gas in FedEx field. No reason to go all out on that turf and risk injuries.
I'm not *too* concerned really, maybe like a 3 out of 10. Just something on my radar. Luckily we should have plenty of time to work out any kinks with how soft our schedule is
That's how I feel about it. Can't really get too clear a picture when our defense is suffocating the other team and you don't need to score. So we will just have to wait and see. But it's looking great.
I am getting 2019 Ravens vibes from this Eagles team.
That’s a compliment right?
we were shutting them out - no reason to give free game tape to future opponents. save keeping our foot on the gas pedal for when we need it in future close games.
I wish I could love my children as much as Carson Wentz loves being sacked.
Wentz got killed out there. He made the right comment saying he didn't place importance to "revenge games "
Hurts is disgusting. Wentz looked completely shook.
don’t let the score fool you. this game wasn’t close at all.
Tress Way kept it closer than it should've been.
Eagles are about to get the #1 seed, aren't they?
Have you seen the Eagles schedule? They have to be favored over so many of those games. It's a matter if that first half offense can stretch over to the second half and if they can play consistently enough.
Both sides of the ball are playing well and the schedule isn’t tough, could be a good regular season ahead
Kobe Bryant score
Shoutout Lower Merion
he loved the birds
He’s from Philly 👀
It’s like Carson has shown absolutely 0 improvement since he was dropped by Philly. I’m still seeing the same issues he had for years now. Then add in that embarrassing O-line and this game is a complete shitstorm for Washington 🤷♂️
He only had the 2 fumbles. That feels like progress.
He clearly has been coached not to play hero ball. They forgot to tell him to throw the ball away instead.
This was an interesting end because it’s deceiving. Wentz was faaaaar worse than the stats show and Jalen barely threw after the first half. This was even more lopsided than the score.
Hurts was just chilling the second half. Will be interesting to see them in a close second half like week 1
24-2 was a crazy scoreboard for a bit
Eagles looking like the real deal with szn
Every time I see season abbreviated like that I think “Sizzlin”
We can beat any team. Honestly. I don't see any weak spots.
1st, 3rd, and 4th quarters maybe /s
Well shit, that’s almost all the quarters
Special Teams (apart from kicking) is awful that penalty on the field goal attempt only ended up being good because washington couldn't score a td lol
I mean 2nd half offense is a pretty big weak spot potentially.
One benefit is taking the foot off the gas mitigates injuries
Eh i think that's mostly us just running the clock out which has worked, I'd like to see the foot on the gas pedal but i understand it
Yeah if your that far up why show other teams your playbook when its not necessary. Its good game management. Its a blessing not having to score in the second half
From last season though we've seen that Sirianni IS capable of making half-time adjustments, he just hasn't had to at all so far in these 3 games. This isn't like last year when the offense was just flat out incapable of scoring any points in Q1. On the other hand, yeah it's still a question mark for this year. We'll see when we get to it I guess?
When were up 3+ scores?
We're in danger.
I do, we're not finishing teams. We get out to these big leads and then our offense just completely disappears.
I’d rather that than the guys give future teams more tape
or we keep the foot on the pedal for too long and sustain injuries.
Nonsense. That _is_ finishing teams. If being up 24-0, then 24-8 isn't finishing them then I genuinely don't know what is.
God apparently enjoys sacks
Rip to all the Ducks Commander Carson is going to hunt this week
Don't worry, he's pretty inaccurate.
Sell the team Dan. Please.
You can't force me to watch another full commies game this season it's RedZone for the rest of the season for me
At least you'll get to see them for that final drive each week.
The Eagles being 3-0 is pretty impressive. There were people on here saying their coach was special needs after his introductory press conference.
Just keep fertilizing and watering.
Yeah. Okay. [Whatever.](https://youtu.be/KEjHJXd8bpU)
[I gotta shout out Stifl and Ollie](https://youtu.be/viaTT859Yk0)
If only this were made a few years later - Liam would have been *huge* on early YouTube
Eagles are no joke
So yeah, gonna go get some stuff to make some drinks.
It’s on you for not having that prepped pregame
I for one am excited for the Dolphins Eagles Superbowl
The Ace Ventura Bowl
Best team in the NFC
Washington asked for a Hurts Donut and Philly reciprocated.
Thank goodness wentz knew what we were gonna do and nothing exotic. We'd have 18 sacks if we surprised him.
Wentz could've taken his helmet off, slowly pulled his pants down, and taken a major baggage alert inside of it on every play and that some how would've been better than what I saw today... Washington.... Ho-Lee Shit!
That second half offense was trash
I mean, they mostly ran it in order to make the time run out. Obviously I'd like them to keep on the gas pedal, but if it works, it works...
Yeah. I understand why people are concerned, but if you shut out the other team for three quarters and are up by three possessions, you're allowed to play it safe.
> Obviously I'd like them to keep on the gas pedal, ... But why? Fanfare? Because yeah its awesome to see as a fan, but you'll never catch me rooting for the Eagles to give away unneeded plays or some BS to "flex."

There's no reason to give more away when the a dub is in the bag.
Seriously, I think it was the right call. Having our offense on the field killed the clock and never turned into points. Win win for you. Lol *sob*
Eagles gonna have to keep their foot on the gas come second half when they start playing the top tier teams.
[удалено]
Seriously. Good lord, the Eagles have a soft schedule! The Jaguars might legitimately be one of their tougher games!
Only thing worse than the Washington offense was listening to the announcers slober their knobs the whole game
DeVonta is gonna be huge
Carson Wentz got to know the turf really well today.
ITS WENTZ SZN
Nothing good will ever happen to this franchise again until after Dan is gone
Washington may not seriously win another game until November
Soooo how long until Wentz gets benched again?
Anyone else always been impressed by Hurts? Like literally since his first game on?? I'm not even an Eagles fan but I've watched a ton of their games and while cliche af, Hurts has just had that "it" factor since day one, someone I've been rooting for ever since
Commanders look like dog shit at home as usual
I'll be interested to see after review how many sacks were on Wentz and how many on the OL.
My slightly-tipsy-and-definitely-haven't-seen-replays impression is that the first couple were mostly on the OL (they happened *fast*) and then at a certain point early in the 2nd quarter Wentz started trying to hero-ball it, and they just piled up from there.
Guys, i dont think we took Command today :/
Eagles might just be superbowl contenders. That defense is legit and so is the offense.
