Hurts engineers a TD drive. I know we’re essentially in garbage time, but it looked encouraging. Now the calls for benching Wentz will get louder

It's going to be -by far- the dumbest and most annoying QB controversy / competition of Training Camp 2021.

Why do you say that? It's certainly a legitimate competition. Or should be, anyway.
Not all that counts can be counted. Not all that can be counted counts.

And now that NE has put up game film showing how he can be attacked, let's see where Herbert's season goes.

Honestly, may as well start the QB competition now. Maybe it will light a fire under Wentz. Maybe Hurts will be the better choice. Either way, the Eagles will come out with a QB... Or none after 2021.

I don't think either are set up to succeed so good luck to both of them

Because it's not a fair competition. The Eagles have clearly shown they are loathe to bench Wentz - because of the albatross contract he holds over the team. If this team were being managed with a "put the best players out there to win" mind-set with no contract considerations, then he'd have been benched long before *checks notes* "Week Thirteen, lol".

This is a three win team that still had a chance to go to the playoffs as little as two weeks ago. There was no reason to not try and "engineer a spark" earlier than the double-digit weeks of the season... they've been needing a spark since Week 1.

I feel like no matter how well Hurts does - if he is indeed the starter these last 3 games - we'll still end up in a "QB competition" in 2021 Training Camp that ends with Wentz being named the starter. They're married to him and that contract. There's no upside to benching him right off the bat - similar to the Trubiskey situation this year - they're stuck with him, and lame-ducking him in Week 1 of 2021 means you've sunk the cost.

That's why it's going to be dumb, annoying, and frustrating beyond belief for fantasy owners and Eagles fans. Everyone else gets to have popcorn and free batteries, though... so at least there's that.

Agree on the Wentz contract. They can't trade or cut him. I hope they have the stones to bench him if Hurts is better.

I thought you were going to say the full off-season media blitz was your issue, which would be understandable too.

haha That Tyreek TD very, very likely would have put me into the playoffs. If only they had gotten a look at it 3 seconds earlier.

A billion dollar operation and they can't find someone that can look at a very obvious replay and tell the coach "hey that's a catch, you should challenge that".

Unbelievable.

I didn't even feel like getting into that part of it. It's going to be a circus... completely of the Eagles own making.

I'm bored of it already.

Part of me wants to trade for him everywhere I can in the off season because his price should be reasonable and I believe in his talent, but the other part of me is getting scared off by his lack of use all season long

That's my thought owning him in one and being hesitant about the other

Refs tried their best to change the outcome of the KC game.
1. Incomplete call on Tyreek’s first TD
2. Phantom holding call on Tyreek’s 2nd TD
3. Delay of game penalty on a field goal attempt where the ball was snapped with 2 seconds on the clock
4. PI call on Breeland going for the ball at the defender’s feet after Locke’s arm was hit on the throw and the pass was not catchable by the receiver who had passed where the ball ended.

Pretty pathetic performance on their end
