re: Jalen Hurts 1st half vs 2nd half stats so far this season are worth taking a look at

quote:

---

Eagles took their foots off the gas, each game they’ve slaughtered in the first half who cares about the 2nd

Ask Falcons fans if the second half matters.

That being said I’m of the opinion the Eagles offense is elite.

Eagles have a very good OL, above average RBs, and a very good receiving corp.

As long as Hurts limits turnovers and can make plays with his feet as needed, this offense can carry the Eagles far. Who knows about Superbowl - it's always a bit of a dice roll. But they should be a 1 or 2 seed in the NFC, which is all you can really ask for.

I don't know why you got so much shite for this when you're 100% right

And yes it's the Eagles best option for now and they'll probably be the 1 seed because their schedule is cake

But I cant wait to bet against them in the playoffs. We've seen time and time again that this type of offense with this level of QB play is not sustainable long term.

Then why wait? They game plan all week for it so why does there have to be an adjustment at the half?

This is what I’m confused about. If the eagles are running the same thing every game, why can’t these defensive staffs plan for it all week? The op makes no sense saying that their game plan is easily figured out after 1 half but it can’t be figured out with a week of prep.

It’s happening faster than I expected TBH

I'm confused, whats happening faster? They still have not lost a game.

I agree with your overall point if someone is trying to argue that Hurts is elite. But if your argument is just that this strategy can't win a SB...then thats just an easy/lazy take that you will most likely end up "right" about since only 1 team can win it anyways.

I think the QB/system requires an elite defense. It compliments it as well.

But he's not elite at all

The Eagles do need to stop sleepwalking in the second half of games. That will bite you in the arse.

That being said, the Eagles have alot of new pieces this year, especially on defense so hopefully they continue to improve.

I look for the offense to get better as Hurts finally has some continuity at OC. With Mile Sanders and their OL they don't need Hurts to be elite to win. When he does throw he has one of the best receiving groups in the league.

Hmm. Another game where some of the best defensive minds in football just decided to not try and stop the opponent at the start.

I’m enjoying this thread. I will continue to follow with great interest.

Just wanted to update.

Obviously none of the NFL DC's have checked tigerdroppings yet.
