That said  - Can we please dial back all of the gadgety, smoke-and-mirrors crap??? Passing across the field to the running back to attempt a pass, backward passes to Swagnew, too many off-the-wall calls when we only need a yard or two to convert etc.

Sometimes the best way to move the chains is to just have your guys beat the guys n front of them. Aren't we supposed to have a 2nd round TE who can block really well? Get him and Farrell in there and lets get 2 damn yards in a scrum.
It should not be that hard.

We don't need to make Agnew run in a figure 8 behind the line pre snap on 4th and 2.
Line em up and pound the rock.

Can't do that??

Well, then you [BLEEP] up with those 2nd and 3rd round picks.
Should have gone OL.

I agree with this so much. There were so many opportunities in that game for the players to make a play but it was executed so poorly.

ETN would have either taken this to the house or for a huge gain.... but not executed well.

Kirk dropping a huge 3rd down catch. WRs not getting feet in bounds on those TDs or the throw is just a little bit too out in front. Play call is perfect but the line can't hold up. Missed blocking assignments. Not giving Anton a chip or help when he is matched up 1v1 with Jones....

It was just an overall offensive mess and one I don't see happening too often.

I think many of us thought the Jags were ready for the moment but they weren't. Pederson wasn't ready for Andy Reid (again). Offense wasn't ready overall. Defense played great.
