The Philadelphia Eagles lost a tough game yesterday to the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field. The final score was 17-11 and there was a lot to be desired, especially when in reference to Nick Sirianni’s play calling and Jalen Hurts ability to throw the ball down the field. However, for an Eagles team that has such low expectations with a new head coach and a new starting quarterback, the loss didn’t really sting as much in seasons past. There are going to be games like this throughout the season and growing pains will certainly be evident. 

A perfect example of this would be the 91 yard pass from Jalen Hurts to Quez Watkins that resulted in zero points being scored. It was a golden opportunity for the Eagles to extend their 3-0 lead to 10-0 but instead, they walked away empty handed. 

The play itself was the fifth largest pass in Eagles history and the longest completion by an Eagles quarterback since Mike Vick hit DeSean Jackson for a 91 yard pass in 2010. Outside of that pass, Hurts only tallied 99 yards through the air on the day. Obviously, Sirianni and Hurts both have to be better but again, these types of things will happen this year. It’s only week two. Everyone said the Eagles would lose to the Falcons. They did not. Everyone then said they will lose to the 49ers, which they did, but not in the type of fashion everyone expected. 

That brings me to the poll this morning from none other than the WIP Morning Show. These rats just love to prey on the emotions of the city and actually put up a poll this morning that asked the following question: 

After just week two, the rats and enemies of the people at WIP are posing a question about Jalen Hurts and Carson Wentz. The only thing surprising here was the fact that there wasn’t a follow up poll from WIP asking if they would rather have Doug Pederson as coach instead of Nick Sirianni. I wouldn’t be surprised if they led with “should the Eagles trade for Nick Foles” to kick things off tomorrow. 

I hate stuff like this. No one actually thinks Carson Wentz should be the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. No one outside WIP would even think about proposing such a stupid question. Yet again, WIP is feeding off the negative engagement online. Yet again, the city of Philadelphia took the bait hook line and sinker while WIP sits in their studio laughing their asses off about how easy it is to trick a fan base into giving them the attention they want.

We really need to do better as a city and stop giving these frauds the engagement they desperately chase online.
