Eh, as of right now Wentz is a better QB..heck MUCH better QB..sad, but true. Stats dont lie. 

Need to figure out wright on defense, Get doom/sizzle 100%, end the ridiculous penalties and find some consistency on the oline and we can make it far this year 

 

grand scheme of things i think we're okay

We're 3 games in on Wentz. Let's see if he joins the long list of QBs that are MUCH better than Flacco that have fallen into the dustbin of football history. that were at some point deemed better than Flacco (Schaub .... Freeman ... RGIII ... on and on)

"As of right now". I nor anyone else knows how good he is, but at the moment hes undefeated, and HE, unlike Joe Flacco, is a major reason why the Eagles are winning. Ravens have ridden the back of their D, and Justin Tucker....

Good news POE has a book.

Tucker is a beast, but anyone saying they trust him (or any kicker) to kick a 68-yarder over Flacco to get us into better FG range is obviously blindly biased. Way more times than not in the past, Flacco's been clutch in these kinds of situations.

As a result of the final outcome....was he clutch?  In all the games played thus far this year he has been average and sometimes below.

Who else do we have that's a good outside corner? I thought Young/Powers/Davis are more of slot corners.

Not saying the o-line played good but The two times Joe got sacked he had all day to throw the ball. One resulted in a sack fumble as well.

and when evaluating o line play, let's not forget the numerous drives that were destroyed due to their penalties as they were unable to maintain their blocks... but yes ... the strip sack was vintage Flacco

[MichaelJ34]

fix the O Line,  keep the run going, and we can get far  this team is getting better.  and will continue to grow but they have to fix this O Line.   its just plain awful

[Red723]

How about fixing the secondary?  This has been a problem ever since we destroyed the team after 2012.  They suck.

To a lot of these brain dead fans Joe is god and can do no wrong even when he's wrong.  idiots.

No, Joe made his share of mistakes.  Just not everyone is dumb enough to make comments saying Joe had an "eternity" to throw nor does everyone blame Joe for drops that hit receivers in their hands/chest.

Believe it or not, just because someone doesn't want to place all the blame on the QB, like you and others, doesn't mean they think he's god/elite/#1/etc.

[codizzle]

Done seen it all now.. trolls explaining how Carson freaking wentz is god incarnated in QB form. 

 

Still amazes me after 8 years on here people can watch the same sport every Sunday and be so completely idiotic

AGAIN....  no pockett...  no protection.

Again, poor pocket awareness and poor decision making from a 9yr vet QB.  

[balfan23]

After we got to midfield, I thought - here we go ... Justin is going to save us again. Just a few more yards and we win.

I just don't know what the fix is. It doesn't appear to be on this team. The starting o line was sub-par, but the reserves showed why the starters are starters as this event was a train wreck up front. I firmly believe if we had a powerful O line we'd be truly contenders, but I just don't see how that his going to happen.

[MichaelJ34]

another take off ... Raiders  this is what a quick strike offense does   Ravens this is what a slow lumbering offense does.   we had TOP by 9minutes 30 sec had more yards but made too many mistakes with penalties by the O Line  and the defense. cant do that and expect to win. Considering all that and still being so close to winning i have to say we are heading in the right direction.

I didn't place ALL blame on Joe, just some, which is enough to make you simpleminded joe zealots to lose your mind.  Scroll up and you'll see I blamed the secondary and coaching before.  Also, the o line.  See thats the problem with you critically thinking impaired joe zealots.  You ignore all other criticism, and only focus on flacco criticism.  Get a grip.

Me too.

[balfan23]

In the end, the biggest difference maker in the game was red zone offense.

was scary how bad the drop off was  yet our offense was better ... the woulda coulda shoulda had we had the starters.... but it still needs fixed and we are a strong team cuz we made things happen today. there was a lot of bad to go around,  but there was a lot of improvement and we still were in position to win.

An eternity, no. 2.2 seconds ... yeah, that much would be nice and he wasn't getting that on a lot of plays

He got enough and still didn't come through nor did I expect him too.  He just doesn't get it.
