Four weeks into the season and the Eagles were down to just 1 starting offensive lineman. Repeat of last year, how lovely. Most fragile offensive line ever, so good when healthy yet so useless because they can never stay healthy.
The Eagles didn't punt the ball once yesterday and it was the best game for Jalen Hurts NFL career so far, and the they still still lose because the defense gets absolutely torched for 42 points. Hurts with 67% completion, 387 passing yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, 8 rush attempts, 47 rushing yards. 434 total yards of offense by Hurts who has the lowest "bad throw" percentage of all starting QBs in the NFL, according to ProFootballReference.
Through 4 games, Hurts is on pace to throw for 4,668 passing yards, 28 passing touchdowns, 8 interceptions, and 1K rushing yards.

I know it seems like Jalen Hurts has been a starting quarterback in the NFL for a long time but he's 8 games in as a starter and his stats from his first 8 games rival any quarterback we've ever seens first 8 games.

Cam Newton -- 2,603
Patrick Mahomes -- 2,591
Jalen Hurts -- 2,584

In the last two games, the Eagles have given up 83 points. Miles Sanders has just 9 carries. Jalen Hurts has thrown 87 times. Also, they have set a franchise record 44 penalties through 4 games, on pace to be the most penalized team in NFL History. What a time to be alive.
One day we will understand the strange Miles Sanders situation in Philly. Guy must be fucking the wife of every coach each season or something because there's no explanation for his lack of usage.
