hold up playa ! it dont matter what u say bout the last game of the season . wentz got destroyed against the saints . without that alshon drop it was looking like we was goin in to win that game .at the hardest place to win on the road in the playoffs tgis year.
If Alshon completes the pass, there were still 30 yards to go. We don't know what would have happened. Foles could have scored a TD, or he could have gotten stopped, like he'd been stopped for the past two quarters.
Foles scored one more touchdown than Wentz did, and part of that had to do with his LeBlanc picking off Drew Brees to start the game. Neither Carson Wentz nor Nick Foles had good games in New Orleans. They were just a better team than we were this year.
I guarantee patriot fans wasn't saying brady was " wasting the efforts of the defense " in the Superbowl the first 3 qtrs. nobody gonna throw for 300 every game and blow every body out but when shyt on the line who put the drive together. there's a reason brady has the most game winning drives in the playoffs because every game is close like that.
It doesn’t matter what Patriots fan say, Brady was objectively bad for most of that Super Bowl. And if they'd lost, the blame would have been on him. Most of the credit for that win goes to Bill Belichick, Brian Flores, and the Patriots defense – Hightower, Van Noy, Gilmore, etc. I'm not seeing what your point here is.
I’m not saying Foles needed to off for 300 YDs. He just needed to do something in three quarters where his defense was constantly giving him opportunities. When Wentz has bad games like that, we crucify him. Why does Foles get a pass?
the start of the season the team limped into the first two foles starts . no alshon which we know how him and foles get down. online beat up. you right there's no guarantee foles wins .
Excepting no Alshon, you could say the same things for Wentz. The Eagles have been limping all season, there’s never been a point where we were close to being healthy. Wentz played with no Jay Ajayi, an inconsistent O-Line, a secondary that constantly gave up 3rd and 4th downs (remember the Titans and Panthers games?), and a coaching staff not playing to the team’s strengths (Pederson admitted, somewhere around Week 14, I think, that the offensive game-plan had to be re-adjusted). All this while coming off a major injury, missing training camp and the preseason, and having to get back in the middle of the season. Foles got all of that, and by Week 3, fans were begging for Wentz to start again. He had Ajayi and Mike Wallace to make up for not having Jeffery, along with Ertz – who, if you look at the numbers,
Foles targets as much Wentz does.
Why does Foles get the excuse of having to play with an injured team, when Wentz doesn't?
And I don’t say all this to excuse Wentz and demonize Foles, by the way. Wentz absolutely has to improve. But there’s a reason Foles has been a backup most of his career. There’s a reason you didn’t see QB-needy teams beating down the door to get Foles even after his SB run, or you don’t see huge bidding wars over him now, even after he saved the Eagles twice. There’s a reason why the HC who worked with Foles, designed an offense for him to be effective in, and initially scouted him in 2012, and probably knows what Foles is capable of more than anyone else, wants to stick with Wentz. Teams know who Nick Foles is at this point. We're still figuring out Carson Wentz.
but I can guarantee one thing we was sitting ducks until Foles got in and set it off with the exact same team wentz had.
I do give Foles credit for saving the season the way he did, but you also have to look at how the rest of the team performed, too. The secondary got better, the O-Line got better, and the coaching got better. It was never just about Foles. It was the whole team.
I’ll give you this much – we don’t know exactly what we have in Wentz yet or how he’s going to ultimately turn out. He’s a third-year quarterback, not a finished product. There’s a chance his 2017 season was a fluke and he ends up being a bust. And if that happens, I’ll be the first to admit it. I’m not afraid of being wrong.
But we’ve known exactly who Nick Foles is for years now. There’s a reason people compare him with Fitzpatrick. He was able to put up 27 TDs to 2 INTs his first year in Chip Kelly’s system when no one had figured it out yet. He then become mediocre his second year. He was bad with the Rams. He’s been up-and-down with the Eagles since he came back, having both great games and bad ones. He’s inconsistent. You don’t trade away a 1st round, three-year QB for inconsistent. Wentz is still young and has the ability to get better. Foles has been in the league for seven years and is who he is at this point.
.
. I know Philly, he may not survive it.
I'm not gonna say it was a fluke but I'm more impressed with Foles . i just like the vibe the team has with Foles and the offense is just better . even 2017 the offense under wentz isn't like when foles gets it goin . can you imagine with a running game get back eight too
. I don't care what corner you got go get him when foles in alshon bout to get off. wentz ain't putting that fear in nobody. I have no choice but to hope wentz can step it up next season
Bingo
