OH MY GOD STOP WHINING!

Bob Brookover became the latest media member to gripe – however passively – about Jim Schwartz’s refusal to talk after games – as if anyone actually craves his comments besides the media – and in doing so used his players, themselves whining, to criticize a second down play call in which the Eagles elected to blitz and try to push the Ravens out of field goal position, a decision that led to a Steve Smith touchdown. Here’s literally every defensive back whining about it:

Apparently Schwartz at least wanted to increase the degree of difficulty for Tucker, so he sent six pass rushers after Flacco on a second-and-10 play, leaving Mills alone to cover veteran Steve Smith Sr. We’ll never know if Tucker could have kicked another 50-yarder because Smith ran by Mills and caught a perfectly thrown pass from Flacco for a 34-yard touchdown with nine seconds left in the half.

“For sure it wasn’t the coverage I wanted,” Mills said. “But players play and coaches make calls and I have to make the play.”

Asked what coverage he’d have preferred, Mills would not go there.

“I’m not going into that,” he said. “Throw, catch, touchdown. I was locking dudes down there until that one play. Was it a call I wanted to be in? No. But regardless, plays have to be made in a game like this.”

Second-year safety Jaylen Watkins was late in getting over to help Mills, but three guys were running deep on the play so he had to pick his poison. Veteran safety Rodney McLeod described the decision to rush six as “kind of a tough call.”

Jenkins, who was on the other side of the field when Smith scored, elaborated on why he thought it was a difficult defensive call.

“It was kind of a tough call that we were kind of in,” Jenkins said. “We were being aggressive, trying to put them into a long field goal, so we played a little more man-to-man. Usually we make them check down right there and allow them to kick the field goal.”

So let me get this straight– the Eagles, with nothing to play for, get aggressive and try to push Baltimore out of field goal position by blitzing, and the guys relied on to make literally one play are complaining because their coach didn’t play it safe and give them help over the top with a 37-year-old receiver, who torched them for a long touchdown?

This team blows.
