I'm not just talking about the Agholor situation. There's been a sense this Eagles team was somehow a contender from the beginning of the year, placed there by the media. They are just flat out well below average on the offensive side of the ball, and have been since Shady and DJax got shipped out.


Even after the 3-0 start, I said 9 or 10 wins for this team this year.

We knew the drop-off was coming, just not quite this hard.

Are you really blaming the fans for his weak mentality? You want them to coddle him? "oh its ok Nelson, you'll catch the next one."

Thats not how football works. Its a results driven game. If you start listening to the fans, you'll be sitting with the fans.


I'm blaming the fans for fucking over their own team. You really think being a dick to your first pick is going to make him play better?

I know the majority of fans played football in high school and think they know what it's like in the NFL, but I can promise you that he is harder on himself than any fan will ever be. You don't need to tear him down anymore.

Bruh...

It's the NFL....this isn't peewee football....

It's a business. If someone is being paid the big bucks to do a job at any business and they're slacking and failing to do that job, what happens?


They get dealt with by the management. Not by random fans that don't know shit about the game.

You're telling me that if you started performing poorly at work, you would enjoy random virgins telling you that you're a piece of shit and that would improve your performance?

The point of being a fan is to do everything you can to support your team and help them win. You're only helping other teams by tearing apart your own players.

But why is he letting what the fans think of him influence his play? Thats a huge no-no.

I mean look at Romo. He is the most crucified player in the NFL. You think he lets that affect him?

It's the kind of business he's in.

It's business, when you become a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE you're opening yourself up to be judged by everyone. Those "virgins" are the fans who pay the bills. You do realize those fans are what make those salaries possible right?

If you can't handle being criticized as an NFL player then you shouldn't be playing. Especially in Philly, New York, etc. where the media and fanbase will eat you a live.

I mean... I played college soccer and I would get in my own head about a bad game and it would affect my play based on how others treated me about it. If the fans of my team would say something based on my play, it gets in your head.

I agree that he should be able to deal with it but I've never understood why fans literally tear their players apart, acting like they care more than the actual players.

And it's very obvious that Romo is affected by it. He wouldn't be injured as much if he didn't let it affect him.

Let's be honest, every business the worker is judged based on their performance. There's a difference between being judged and being crucified though.

The point I'm trying to make is that you can be disappointed in his performance, but you shouldn't want to do things that are more than likely going to make it even worse. Especially when you know that the team is willing to bend a little more with him since it's his first season and he was their first pick.

Yeah after watching that game yesterday I was definitely wondering where old Nelson went. He was a stud in college. Maybe they should consider getting him some time on coverage for special teams and just make him feel like part of the team again. Baby steps. Clearly something is mentally wrong.
