A.J. Brown went into more detail on Sunday’s pick six, posting this now-deleted tweet in response to an Emmanuel Acho breakdown:
Here’s what Acho said:
Jalen Hurts’ absence on the Eagles is becoming glaringly evident.
There’s just no way he would make this game ending mistake.#Eagles #AchoAnswers pic.twitter.com/70LVkTXOMs

Brown continued by telling everyone to miss him with the bullshit about loafing, in another deleted tweet:
I play the game with everything in me so all that loaf shii is bs. I’m not even tripping on mistake’s because we all make them. But questioning my effort when I give my entire life to the game is a no for me.

A couple things here. First and foremost, Chris Simms is idiot:
Chris Simms on Hurts being MVP front-runner: “They have the best O-Line in football, 2nd best WR duo, a great TE.. There’s just no way he’s more valuable than Mahomes, Allen, or Burrow, no way. If Minshew is in, the #Eagles are still damn good. I’m sorry.” pic.twitter.com/B6qfzihrBn

To have that take and then actually watch Gardner Minshew show you how absolutely wrong you were in ONLY two weeks should disqualify you from ever being allowed to give your opinion on football matters ever again. Hurts makes that adjustment at the line.
Second, can we just keep in house shit in house? Do we have to keep burying the backup QB? He’s a backup for a reason. He sucked. Anyone with two eyeballs saw that. But that’s two weeks in a row now a leader at their position is burying a back up. Just fall on the sword like Nick Sirianni and hash it out while watching the tape:
Nick Sirianni falls on the sword for the pick-6. Sirianni says he'll never question his players' effort. A.J. Brown earlier today defended his effort in a series of tweets.
