Game ball, three stars, and snap count analysis: Week 13, Eagles vs. Bears

The Eagles' offense was a mess against the Chicago Bears, playing only 54 snaps in a crucial Week 13 loss. Jalen Hurts was under pressure for much of the game and made a critical error on a pivotal play, throwing an interception that could have changed the course of the game.

Hurts had to deal with a heavy blitz package from the Bears, which led to some miscommunication on the field. Despite having multiple wide-open receivers, he opted to throw to DeVonta Smith instead of Dallas Goedert, who was even wider open. This decision ultimately led to a sack and an incomplete pass that could have been a big play for the Eagles.

The running game was also underwhelming, with Saquon Barkley struggling to make any impact against the Bears' defense. He had 13 carries for just 22 yards, while Will Shipley saw more action on the ground than his veteran back. Tank Bigsby, who has shown promise in limited reps this season, was stuck on the bench.

The receiving corps also underperformed, with A.J. Brown being the only bright spot among the receivers. He had 10 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns, including a stunning catch for a score that showcased his athleticism.

Goedert saw heavy usage in the passing game but struggled to get open, and Calcaterra was completely wasted on the field due to his inability to block. The Eagles' line played well, but their personnel decisions were often questionable.

On defense, Jalyx Hunt made a standout play with an interception, while Quinyon Mitchell had a solid outing despite allowing some big catches. Brandon Graham saw only six snaps and Nolan Smith struggled to get off the field. The interior defensive line was torched by the Bears' running game, and Zack Baun looked like his former self but couldn't make any impact on defense.

The three stars of the game were A.J. Brown, Jalyx Hunt, and Quinyon Mitchell, who all had standout performances despite the team's overall struggles. The Eagles will look to bounce back in Week 14 against the Chargers.
 
man i just got back from the most sick road trip to nashville πŸš—πŸŽΈ i saw like 5 live bands and ate my weight in hot chicken lol did you guys know that they have this crazy new burger joint downtown that has a patty made from duck breast ? it was TO DIE FOR πŸ’€ anyway back to football... tank bigsby gotta get him more reps on the field, he's been looking promising but always seems to get stuck on the bench πŸ€”
 
I drew a little chart to visualize the play call that went wrong πŸ€”πŸ“ˆ
```
+---------------+
| DEVONTA |
| SMITH |
+---------------+
|
| THROW TO GOEDERT!

v
+---------------+
| DALLAS GOEDERT |
| (WIDER OPEN) |
+---------------+
```
It's clear that DeVonta Smith was the safer option, but I'm not sure what happened to the trust in Dallas Goedert πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. It's also weird that they didn't run more often with Saquon Barkley, who struggled on the ground πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ.

On a brighter note, A.J. Brown is absolutely killing it this season 🌟! And those three stars – Jalyx Hunt, Quinyon Mitchell, and A.J. Brown – made some great plays despite the team's struggles πŸ˜….
 
I'm so bummed about how the Eagles' offense just tanked πŸ€•πŸˆ. I mean, you gotta expect more from Jalen Hurts when he's under pressure, right? He made some tough decisions on that pivotal play and it cost them big time. And what's up with Saquon Barkley not getting any love on the ground? The guy was stuck behind Will Shipley? It doesn't make sense to me πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. But hey, at least A.J. Brown stepped up for them - he had some sick plays out there! 😲 And that defense? Not bad at all, I think. Jalyx Hunt made a huge impact with his interception and Quinyon Mitchell was solid too πŸ‘. They just need to figure out what's going on with their offense and make some changes, you know? πŸ’‘
 
I'm so confused about this Eagles offense lol. I mean, they have all these talented receivers but Jalen Hurts just can't seem to get it right πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. DeVonta Smith was WIDE OPEN and he still chooses to throw to someone else πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. And Saquon Barkley is just not getting any love out there on the ground, like 13 carries for 22 yards? 😐. I think they need some serious shake-up in their playbook or personnel decisions πŸ”„. On a more positive note, A.J. Brown was πŸ”₯ and Jalyx Hunt made an amazing play! 🀩. Can't wait to see how the Eagles bounce back against the Chargers πŸ’ͺ
 
the eagles need to work on their execution on both sides of the ball πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸˆ they cant just rely on one player like AJ brown to carry them through a game, and their play calling is way too conservative at times πŸ“‰πŸ’¨ i mean, throwing to devonta smith when dallas goedert was open is just plain silly πŸ™„πŸ‘Ž
 
I'm telling you, another team makes a bunch of mistakes on offense and it's still somehow expected to win πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. I mean, come on, DeVonta Smith was WIDE OPEN and Jalen Hurts throws an interception instead? That's just crazy talk πŸš€. And what's with the running game not working out at all? Saquon Barkley gets 13 carries for 22 yards... that's it πŸ’¦. Meanwhile, A.J. Brown is over here making highlight-reel catches and still can't be stopped 🀯.

And don't even get me started on the line decisions πŸ€‘. Calcaterra was a total waste of space out there and Bigsby gets stuck on the bench? Not exactly confidence-inspiring stuff πŸ˜’. The only good thing I saw from that game is Quinyon Mitchell's interception, but even that wasn't enough to save the team πŸ’”.

The Eagles will need to get their act together if they want to compete in Week 14 πŸ€“. This whole "mismatched personnel" thing just isn't working out for them πŸ˜•.
 
😩🏈 Another crushing loss for the Eagles... Can't believe Jalen Hurts threw that interception when DeVonta Smith was even wider open πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ’”. And Saquon Barkley's season is basically over now, stuck on 22 yards 🚫. On a positive note, A.J. Brown was his usual self with 132 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to save the team πŸ˜”. Defense wasn't much better, interior line got destroyed πŸ’₯. Guess we'll have to wait 'n see if they can bounce back against the Chargers 🀞
 
πŸ€” This season is gonna be a disaster for the Eagles... I mean, what was that decision by Hurts on that pivotal play? So many wide-open receivers and he chooses DeVonta over Goedert? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ And don't even get me started on Saquon's lack of impact - 22 yards on 13 carries? That's just weak sauce. The line played alright, but their personnel decisions are straight trash... and have you seen Calcaterra struggling to block? 😩 I'm not expecting much from the Eagles in Week 14 against the Chargers. They'll probably choke again πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
 
awww poor eagles fans πŸ€•πŸ˜© they had such high hopes for this game but it just didn't go their way πŸ˜” jalen hurts is a tough one though, he's been doing so well and then that critical error πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ i feel like DeVonta Smith got robbed on that play πŸ™„ and saquon barkley just can't seem to get anything going on the ground πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ anyway, A.J. brown was on FIRE πŸ”₯ and those defense guys who stepped up were amazing πŸ’ͺ let's hope they can bounce back stronger in week 14 πŸ’ͺ
 
I'm still trying to process what happened with that Eagles' offense 🀯. I mean, Jalen Hurts is a talented QB and all, but he just can't seem to get it together sometimes 😩. Throwing an interception on a pivotal play? That's just a game-changer. And the decision to throw to DeVonta Smith over Dallas Goedert was puzzling πŸ€”.

And don't even get me started on the running game... Saquon Barkley looked like he didn't know which way was up πŸ˜‚. Will Shipley saw more action than him? That's just not right.

On a more positive note, A.J. Brown had an amazing game - 10 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns 🀩. He was the only bright spot among the receivers, imo. Goedert didn't get much going in the passing game, though.

I guess that's just what happens when you're playing a tough team like the Bears... but still, it's gotta hurt to come so close and fall short πŸ’”. Can't wait to see if the Eagles can bounce back against the Chargers in Week 14 🀞
 
man... i'm thinking about this play where Hurts throws the pick... it's like he's trying to force a big play, but he doesn't trust his receivers enough πŸ€”... and then you got these guys like Goedert who are open all game, just getting picked off on every single throw πŸ™„... it's like they're not even in sync as a team... and the running game? forget about it... Saquon's not even touching the ball till the 4th quarter and then he's running wild πŸ˜‚... but at the same time, I feel for him too... he's been carrying this team on his back all season now πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ... it's just one of those frustrating games where you're like "what could've been"...
 
man... that eagles game was such a wild card πŸƒ it got me thinking about how much pressure can affect our decision-making skills on the field like, hurts had to deal with so much blitzing and it's easy to get caught up in trying to make something happen but what if you just chill out for one play? 🀯 maybe goedert was even wider open than smith... and it's crazy how much of a difference it makes when we have guys who can block on the receiving end calcaterra is like, totally wasted right now πŸ˜’

anyway, defense wasn't exactly lighting it up either πŸŒ€ but at least they were able to make some plays like hunt and mitchell... it just goes to show that even with all our flaws, we still have moments of brilliance when we step up 🌟
 
Ugh, that's such a frustrating loss for the Eagles πŸ€•. I mean, they got absolutely annihilated by the Bears' defense, and it was just one of those days where everything went wrong. Jalen Hurts is usually so clutch, but he had some major misfires today 😳. And can we talk about how they wasted DeVonta Smith out there? He's a game-changer when he's open, but nope, they just threw to A.J. Brown instead πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.

And poor Saquon Barkley... what was going on with him out there? I get that the Bears' defense is tough, but 22 yards on 13 carries is just not getting it done πŸ’”. And their receiving corps as a whole was so underwhelming... it's like they forgot how to play πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.

Anyway, you gotta give props to A.J. Brown for stepping up and making some huge plays 🌟. Jalyx Hunt and Quinyon Mitchell were also on fire today πŸ”₯. But overall, just a tough loss for the Eagles πŸˆπŸ’”
 
The offense is just so inconsistent rn 🀯. One week it's a total mess, and the next, A.J. Brown comes out of nowhere and drops 132 yards πŸ€‘. I'm still not sure what happened with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert on that pivotal play... it's like they were speaking different languages πŸ€”. The running game was non-existent, and Saquon just couldn't get anything going πŸ’¨. The receiving corps is a big mess, but at least A.J. Brown showed up when it mattered most πŸ’ͺ.

On the bright side, Jalyx Hunt had that sick interception 😎, and Quinyon Mitchell was solid on D πŸ™Œ. The defense has some major issues with that interior line, though... Zack Baun looked like a completely different player last week πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. We'll see how they bounce back against the Chargers this week 🀞.
 
man i feel bad for jalen hurts he was under so much pressure out there πŸ€• and that critical error on the pivotal play was huge he tried to go to devonta smith but dallas goedert was open, i dont get it πŸ€”. and saquon barksley had a really rough game, only 22 yards in 13 carries 🚫 what were they thinking with tank bigsby stuck on the bench? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ atleast aj brown shone bright for us, 10 catches and 2 touchdowns! πŸ‘
 
I'm really disappointed with that Eagles' performance yesterday πŸ€•. I mean, they were out there for like 54 snaps and still managed to lose? It's just not fair to Jalen Hurts, he was under so much pressure from the Bears' blitz package. And don't even get me started on DeVonta Smith, he had like, a gazillion open receivers but Hurts still throws to him instead of Goedert, who was way more open πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.

The running game was basically non-existent, Saquon Barkley just couldn't do anything against the Bears' defense. And what's up with the receiving corps? A.J. Brown is the only one doing any real work out there, while everyone else is just kinda... meh. I mean, Calcaterra's blocking skills are just nonexistent πŸ˜’.

On defense, some guys did okay, like Jalyx Hunt and Quinyon Mitchell, but others were pretty bad, like Nolan Smith. And the interior line was getting torched by the Bears' running game? It's just frustrating to watch 🀯.
 
I'm so confused about blitzes πŸ€”... like why do teams keep sending extra defenders at the QB? And can we talk about how Philly's defense looks like it's getting destroyed πŸ’₯?! I mean, I know they're trying to protect their DBs but like come on! The Chargers are gonna pound them bad in Week 14 😬. And what's up with Saquon Barkley not doing much πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ? Is he hurt or is that just his game this year?
 
Ugh, this Eagles' offense is a joke πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. I mean, come on Jalen Hurts, can't you even make a simple pass? Throwing an interception when DeVonta Smith was open and Goedert wasn't? It's like you're trying to lose for him πŸ’”. And Saquon Barkley is basically useless on the ground 🚫. The running game was so underwhelming it's like they gave up already ⏰. A.J. Brown is the only one who's even remotely decent among those receivers, but I'm not holding my breath for any improvement πŸ”™. This team needs a total overhaul if they wanna make the playoffs πŸ“‰
 
I feel like the Eagles need some major coaching tweaks, like they gotta get their game plan together ASAP πŸ’‘πŸ‘€ I mean, they got some bright spots with Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown, but those other guys just didn't show up πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Saquon Barkley was supposed to be the answer on running game, but what's going on there? πŸ˜’
