Classic turtle thinking. We need to score tds not worry about what dallas might do. Holy moly.

II'm going to quote myself so I can provide what I think is the most egregious example of turtle play calling in the entire game.

It came in the fourth quarter as we're winding down the clock it's third and eight with about a minute something left no timeouts for Dallas. The ball is going to stay on the ground and we need 8 yards. Now what do you call? Do you sneak in a pass play? Too risky. Kyle calls a line plunge. Gets 6 inches.

Now why do that? Why not call a play that might get eight yards on the ground? Why not give it a shot and do something positive to get the first down? It all worked out in the end. But that decision irked me. If Kyle wants to win a Super Bowl he needs to lose that kind of thinking in my opinion.

I think we destroy them if Purdy doesn't get hurt. Our D was playing f**king great. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over this loss as it was just not in our favor this year. At least we bounced the Seahawks and Cowboys from the playoffs.

Literally someone saying I'm sick of losing in the post season.

Man, I wish we could have played them straight up. I think we would have had a legit chance to win this one.

That's the right attitude for sure. With all the extreme lessons Kyle is getting, he's going to be the wisest NFL coach ever by the time he's 45.

Bosa and AA carried that D line all year. It would be great if we could get a real run stopper like DJ Jones and Drake hits the off-season hard.

Love the team but man does this fanbase suck at times.

Imagine saying something so out of touch to a Jets or Lions fan.

Absolutely need another DT to shore up the middle.

The Eagles have 3 guys with 10 plus sacks. We aren't anywhere near that. We need a legit vet pass rusher to go along with Bosa. Today our dline was dominated. Didn't make any big plays. s**t the secondary was the best unit. Eagles o line dominated. Our guys didn't make the big plays in the big moments. Super Bowl they didn't make them. Chris Jones did. Last year Aaron Donald made them. This year Reddick made them. As much as I love AA and Bosa they didn't make those plays.

3 or better conference Finals in the last 4 years without a star QB. Shanny is a top 3 coach. People just need to understand that the days of a dynasty are over with. You are going to lose. If you have a coach that is consistently a contender though just be patient because he will likely punch it in.

Talent, top 5ish. Best team in depth by a country mile.

But the areas that get you over the hump are the lines, coverage and QB...and health and discipline.

ShanaLynch still has a ways to go, IMHO.

I really think it's just asking too much. I can't really see the team getting better talent wise than this year. It's kind of a sad reality.

The roster was loaded. It's hard to be optimistic honestly that we will somehow load up more and just demolish teams next year.

The real f up was the lance trade up. If we hadn't done that and had Micah Parsons opposite bosa we would have been unstoppable. It's sad and hindsight is 20/20 but I guess the only hope is as the talent diminishes Brock somehow makes up for it.

Its really irritating seeing huge game plan holes and coaching f ups. The lance injury, the deebo usage, the cowboys game plan and timeout usage, the long developing plays to start games vs teams with good pass rush. How Josh Johnson was used. Thinking he could just step in and run his offense. Making Johnson throw the ball in the two minute drill this week but not letting purdy do it last week.

It just all adds up to repeated coaching mistakes.

The talent on the team is undeniable but the coaching has massive, game losing, player crippling mistakes repeatedly. And it does not take a genius to predict all of the above would happen and would not work.

I just don't think the staff at this point can call 4 mistake free games against 4 good teams.

Hopefully Davis is that guy. Id still draft another DT however and see if we can get another Arden Key like signing.

Ya. We never had any depth that D line after week 10. Hyder totally burned out ebukam not really the guy who's going to do it. We were exposed today

You don't think we can improve upon Kinlaw, Brendel, Burford, McGlinchey, Ebukam, Lenoir, J.Ward, Jennings, Moseley, Mitchell, etc. plus better rotational depth by the end of the season?

I do. You never stop trying and giving yourself the best shot.
