If we have any chance to win the Superbowl, we need to bring back Donovan and Wentz. I think that Howie needs to drop 4 of our 1st round picks to get Wentz back and $500 million to McNabb.

In all seriousness these wish making posts are absurd. I hope that Hurts recovers for next season, because y'all are insufferable. Eagles gotta stick with what we got and look forward with the current QB room.

There's not a single backup QB in the league that is available and worth coughing up picks for.

There certainly is not a single QB in the upcoming draft that is worth a 1st or 2nd for this organization and system.

Sirianni will be gone. Next year will be a new year with new staff and a new head coach. We need to hope and pray for Jalen's recovery at this point

Hope the bandwagons come back to reality or jump to another tram.

With the recent news that Chris Ballard has been fired as colts GM, it seems likely that Shane Steichen is not far behind him. Given the history and clear ties to Jalen and Sirianni, how would we feel about reuniting Steichen as the OC this offseason?

2022 if the best Jalen has ever looked in my opinion. We had a competent offense built around strengths that utilized the players on the roster. Clearly, Steichen can be successful even without a top tier QB which Jalen has not been the last few years, after seeing what he did with Daniel Jones last year.

The issues in Indy have been seemingly cultural, which if you keep Sirianni, that is something he better be able to handle because he doesn’t do much else.

Hurts now has blood clots in his lungs. Which can be tough medically to be cleared for professional sports. Chris Bosh had blood clots and never played again professionally, now granted he was mid 30s.
Wemby had a blood clot in his leg but was 20-21 at the time of it happening.
Jalen Hurts is 28, still in his prime years but still depending on severity could this potentially be career ending?

Hey Eagles fans im here to offer a olive branch from a cowboys fan for peace to say the hurts situation is genuinely scary. Even though he’s an eagle this is beyond football and I genuinely wish him the best. He’s a hell of a competitor and I never want to see a player risk their life for football. I wish him the best in his recovery and hope to see him back on the field again.

If he brings back Tanner then we know Sirianni wants to get fired because MNF is gonna be humiliating.

This is weak shit, sure he touched him in the helmet because he was trying to swat the ball down. But Bryce stayed on his feet at least. Dak's roughing call looked pretty obvious that the defender pushed him long after the ball was released.

So as a doctor, this news about doctors telling him not to sleep is SUPER weird. That’s not a thing anybody recommends, because it’s very unlikely to help anything. It doesn’t even make sense, because you obviously can’t avoid sleeping forever.

It’s so bizarre that I’m wondering if there was a miscommunication somewhere along the way, like someone saying to avoid being immobile for long periods of time (pretty standard advice) and that being interpreted to include sleep.

Regardless, if they knew he hadn’t slept, letting him playing football is a bad idea. Not from the standpoint of the thrombosis getting worse, but from the standpoint of not being able to function and react well enough to protect yourself in a game.

I have seen a lot of speculation about what happened to Jalen Hurts' with his unfortunate injury but I wanted to provide a timeline of the information we have received now. I also have some questions that if any doctors could answer I would love.

Sunday October 4th: Jalen Hurts is "cleated" in his left calf in a game against the Los Angeles Rams

Thursday, October 8th: Hurts requests treatment for a calf injury and receives treatment.

Saturday, October 10th: Hurts is hospitalized in London where an ultrasound discovers a superficial venous thrombosis (SVT) in his left calf. He is advised to not sleep as a precaution but is cleared to play on Sunday against Jacksonville.

Sunday, October 11th: Hurts plays against the Jaguars and then flies back to Philadelphia with the team.

Wednesday, October 14th: An ultrasound reveals the SVT has moved.

Thursday, October 15th: Due to the SVT movement, Hurts is deactivated for Sunday's game against Carolina.

Saturday, October 17th: Hurts is placed on injured reserve.

Monday, October 19th: Hurts has been diagnosed with a Deep Vein Thrombosis and a Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli. He is placed on anticoagulants(blood thinners) and deactivated for the rest of the 2026 season.

Questions:

1. Is avoiding sleep for an SVT an extreme precaution and possibly indicative of something worse.

2. How did it get so much worse from a singular SVT to now a DVT and clots in both lungs.

3. Did Hurts consulting with physicians in the UK lead to a transition of care issue or different management of his original SVT than if this all happened stateside.

Is Nick Foles available? How long for Foles to get back jnto condition? Get up to speed on the playbook? 3 games until the bye week, could he be ready to start in five weeks? And can we get some pickups in the O-line to protect him?

At this point, there isn't any reason you can give me to not give Payton a shot. He knows the playbook, there is no way his mobility isn't more of a threat than McKee's (lack).

Hell, with all the injuries and struggles. Give him some combat speed time on Monday. Let him and McKee compete for the Go in Week 8.

It seems to be a New Era washed midnight green Eagles hoodie. I saw it in Foot Locker a few years back and took a picture of it to check online for a cheaper price than in-store. I never got around to checking and when I came back it was gone. I’ve always wanted to buy one but I think it’s too late. Could someone try to help me find it before next gameday? #GOBIRDS

BG is asked about the outcomes if season progresses this way. He brings up 2024 and him and/or others thinking could they move on from Nick for Kellen AFTER winning the SB.

I believe we all know that wasn’t likely seriously considered. I bring up as we all have our opinions of Nick’s value, and we aren’t there. For a long-time player to even consider that, I believe says a lot about the internal opinion of Nick’s value.

This is conjecture, but one could assume they viewed their success that year on: roster, Fangio, Kellen. He only gives Nick flowers as a motivator, and even said he was “relieved” of play-calling duties in 2021. Nick famously says he gave up to Shane to focus more on game management.

Time will tell, and I’ll be optimistic. I just think the collective fan opinion may not be far from reality.

Before the panthers game, I saw a lot of people saying things like “the eagles are better off without Jalen” or “The offense can finally be fixed” this game should finally open up everybody’s eyes to the real problems here.

The eagles don’t have the talent to make Sirianni look good anymore, it’s plain and simple.

Notice how the only years when the offense looked really good, we had to have the best O-line in the league, prime AJ brown, and Saquon who was out here breaking records.

The eagles (besides Shane Steichen) have never been elevated by coaching and that’s a problem.

In summary, Nick Sirianni may not be directly causing problems but he’s definitely not the answer and this eagles offense clearly needs answers.

One bright side is that Mannion has seemingly abandoned the WR screens that get Lemon killed, but now he keeps calling play action where the results are just as disastrous. I know it's likely multiple things, but one thing the broadcasters were saying today was that it almost seemed like there was some tell or something, because defenders simply were not fooled and were just firing downfield.

So my question for those who are more football-savvy than me, what's the main reason? Poor line play, predictable play calling, poor play design, etc? I think I've seen maybe one successful play off play action this season; otherwise, it's immediate pressure and a throwaway or sack.

With the Birds sitting at 2-4 through six games in 2026, I got curious about how our previous three head coaches performed during their final seasons in Philly.

Specifically, I wanted to compare their records, point differentials, and overall trajectories through the first six games. Some interesting similarities, but also some pretty significant differences.

First six games: A comparison

Metric | Reid (2012) | Kelly (2015) | Pederson (2020)

Record | 3-3 | 3-3 | 1-4-1

Points scored | 103 | 144 | 141

Points allowed | 125 | 110 | 175

Point differential | -22 | +34 | -34

Points per game | 17.2 | 24.0 | 23.5

Points allowed/game | 20.8 | 18.3 | 29.2

Final record | 4-12 | 7-9 | 4-11-1

Andy Reid (2012): A winning record masking bigger problems

Reid's Eagles actually started 3-1, but all three victories came by two points or fewer. The offense was struggling, Michael Vick was turning the ball over, and the team was averaging just 17.2 points through six games.

Game 6 was particularly telling. The Eagles blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead against Detroit, losing 26-23 in overtime. Two days later, Reid fired defensive coordinator Juan Castillo.

Philadelphia would go on to lose eight straight and finish 4-12. Through six games, the Eagles were technically competitive, but their negative point differential suggested they weren't nearly as good as their record indicated.

Chip Kelly (2015): A team seemingly finding its footing

Kelly's Eagles had the same 3-3 record, but their underlying numbers were considerably better.

After starting 1-3, Philadelphia won consecutive games against New Orleans (39-17) and the Giants (27-7), outscoring them by a combined 42 points.

Through six games, the Eagles had a +34 point differential, the best defense of the three teams by points allowed, and an offense averaging 24 points per game.

Of the three coaches, Kelly arguably had the most encouraging six-game trajectory. The team appeared to be improving, despite inconsistent quarterback play and an underperforming rushing attack.

Of course, that momentum didn't last. Kelly was fired before the season finale, and the Eagles finished 7-9.

Doug Pederson (2020): Trouble from the beginning

Pederson's Eagles had the worst start of the three, going 1-4-1 with a -34 point differential.

The offense struggled with turnovers, injuries, and offensive line instability. Carson Wentz was under constant pressure, while the defense surrendered an average of 29.2 points per game.

There were occasional signs of life. Philadelphia beat San Francisco in Week 4 and nearly overcame a 17-point deficit against Baltimore in Week 6, ultimately losing 30-28.

But unlike Kelly's team, which appeared to be building momentum, Pederson's Eagles never really established any consistency.

They finished 4-11-1, just three seasons removed from winning the Super Bowl.

*What happened after Game 6?*

Coach | First 6 games | Final 10 games

Reid | 3-3 | 1-9

Kelly | 3-3 | 4-6*

Pederson | 1-4-1 | 3-7

*Kelly was fired with one game remaining. Pat Shurmur coached the season finale. Reid

Curious what everyone thinks: How much weight do you put on a team's first six games, particularly its point differential, when assessing whether a coach has lost control of the season?

Chris Ballard has been fired by the Colts. Presumably, the new GM will want to bring in their own coach, and they will want to draft a QB to replace Jones/Richardson.

That probably means Steichen will be let go after the regular season ends.

Is there anyway for us to fire Mannion as OC then sign him to a QB contract to play in the very offense he instilled for the team and show us how its supposed to be run

I wasn't able to see today's game. How did he do? And why did PFF rank him so low last week? I have been hoping he would be a small bright spot in this sad time. Thanks.

A lot of the initial reactions to the news about Hurts and the report (unsubstantiated as far as I know) that he was told not to sleep has been calling for firings and heads to roll. While understandable, I think a lot of the reaction is driven by what we know now, not what the Eagles knew at the time. There seems to be an assumption that the Eagles knew much more than they did but I'm not sure that holds up.

The team's original statement didn't raise any red flags with the medical professionals who have commented on the issue as far as I know, such as this post from BronzeEagle. If there was a coverup, I would have expected something to not add up in the original statement.

So before I react demanding people be fired over this I would like to know - what did the team know and when did they know it? Was the original statement correct? How much of what we're seeing is speculation turning into rumor and how much of it is true?

This will probably require an investigation to find out but I'm going to reserve judgement until we get something more substantial and I would encourage everyone to do the same.

Edit: Turns out he was allowed to sleep before the game and did so.
