Speaking of silly stances. The Eagles sure did make a mistake on the Phillips trade! Morons! Cost them one loss already.

 

Nah, that’s feels gross. Honestly, you can’t take most of these decisions out of context and immediately after they are made and start grandstanding. Unless it’s the Watson trade.

That was an open-hand slap after being shoved by Payne. If you wanna flag him for that, cool, but trying to act like it was a "punch" is dumb, and trying to equate it to the actual haymaker Payne threw is 200-proof cope.

Amazing that the team is #2 in PPG after half a season filled with what feels like lackluster offensive play. 

The 3rd down offense is the real indictment on Morton for me. It's as if we would get into a 3/6 or longer and retreat into the shell, often with a draw or a low-percentage screen, just living to fight another series. IIRC we were the last team in the NFL to convert a 3/10 or longer this season. With the talent we have available, that's absurd.

We are way too talented on offense to ever get conservative. You've got guys like ASB, Jamo, Gibbs, and LaPorta who can get wide open ten yards down the field any time the ball is snapped. There is no excuse for not pressing the issue in a competitive game.

Look at those redzone numbers. Seems like the key for the Lions is to keep them out, because once they are in the redzone we are toast.

 

Maybe a secondary is getting them into 3rd downs.

Penei might just be the best and most valuable player on this team. He is certainly Jared Goff's most valued asset in my mind. This offensive line would be cooked without Sewell on it. He is such an anchor the the rest of the line.

Interesting comments from John Morton today. He has a lot to learn but he's taking things like a man.

OK, I was a starter, now I’m not. OK, what do I have to do to become a starter again?

My dad worked for GM for 30-some years. I saw him work on the assembly line forever. So that’s all I know. Like I said, I was cut six times as a player, been fired plenty of times. What do I have to do to get better? That’s the way you approach it.

That’s a cool attitude to have. I’m glad that he’s not calling plays anymore and I hope he learns from this and becomes a great play caller in the future. 
 

That being said there is nothing wrong with being a great offensive staffer and never actually get good at calling plays. I hope he keeps that positive attitude and sticks around in whatever capacity he helps the most.
