We have this and yet here we are. So much talent and yet so much agony.

this catch isnt talked about enough. like wtf is this
When was the last time he made a catch that wasn’t a tough catch?
He made the play of the game in the Super Bowl 9 months ago and you’re saying his talent is wasted? Chase, Jefferson, Lamb, etc. are wasting their talent. Smitty has balled out in two Super Bowls and won one.
I think a lot of WRs would love to have their talent “wasted” like that.
We won a Super Bowl less than a year ago. “So much agony”. Shut up.
He literally won the Super Bowl earlier this year.
We’re playing like dog shit lately, but cmon dude. This is such an overreaction. He’s been to 2 super bowls and won 1 before turning 27.
If his talent is wasted, what do you consider Justin Jefferson, Jamarr Chase, Amon Ra, CeeDee Lamb, Stefon Diggs, Garrett Wilson, etc. All guys that have been in the league a similar amount of time to Devonta who never even sniffed a Super Bowl ring
Alright, we’re all upset. But the dude one a Super Bowl. His talent was not wasted.
Except for the fuckin superbowl we got him
Jesus christ this sub is full of tissue paper bitches…
We’ll get right. Our worst times in the last 6 years were some teams ceilings, and our best ones are literally the best superbowls ever.
Like, yeah, we’re fuckin up right now, but the doom patrol over here makes it feel like we had our middle school crush cheat on us and laugh at us for it. Like… grow a set, people.
Nah
We did win a super bowl. So hard to say we wasted it. Detroit wasted Calvin Johnson.
He won a superbowl.
Some of you fools clearly haven’t been around long enough to see hall of famers never win.
Hell no. There are numerous legendary Wide Receivers that fell short of winning a Super Bowl. Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Steve Smith (Panthers), Desean Jackson (got a ring but technically didn’t win it), Larry Fitzgerald, and Julio Jones. To be name a few.
When I moved to Philly 16 years ago, I was so excited because I heard the fans were so tough and passionate. After 16 years of pretty great experiences rooting for Philly teams, the biggest lesson has been that the average Philly fan is fragile. Like such a fucking insecure, fragile bitch.
Holy shit what even is this?
We literally just won the super bowl. With him.
It literally feels like 75% of this sub would have been in a line to jump off the Walt Whitman if they experienced the Andy Reid era. I know there’s issues with this offense and all but this ain’t it dude.
“So much agony” Get bent dude.
Wasted this year, maybe, but they just won a Super Bowl. Many more wasted talents across the league.
You know they just won a championship, right?
I hate our fans sometimes. Wtf. Yea the team isnt playing well but we just won the Super Bowl and this guy has been crucial to our team since we got him.
Its post like these that remind me of that Jets fan the other day who posted a video talking about how crazy we are about the Eagles even fresh off a SB while he just wants to see one before he dies.
Or my diehard OG Eagles fan coworker, im talking he was there when we won a ring in the 60s and i asked him whats his thoughts on this season and he says “we won 2 in 8 years, one last year, we’ll be okay”
Then i realize that alot of guys on here are younger or over-reactionary, thank god social media wasnt around in the early 2000s. Being a shitty franchise is fine because you know you suck, theres nothing more agonizing than being good but not good enough.
Some of you dont know the pain of losing 3 straight NFCCGs. Feeling the high of getting TO just to watch it crash and burn after losing a close SB, the agony of watching the Cardinals walk us down in the NFCCG. Watching Mccoy, Maclin, Djax never get a ring and Chip Kelly sending your favorite players off for dirt returns. The dream team 1 and 2, Nnamdi. Having to watch Sam Bradford sheeesh.
We’re spoiled, this season sucks, we’ll bounce back if not this year next. All this is true.
How is his talent wasted!? He helped win a Super Bowl last year and had one of the greatest plays in Eagles history. You’re insane dude.
Here’s my take (as a woman who pays a shit ton of attention to body language):
In 2022, we had Shane Steichen as our OC. We went to a Super Bowl that year, and lost by a field goal (and don’t get me started on that, that holding call was fucked up and I’m still processing it). Shane left for Indianapolis after that (and he’s doing a helluva job there) and we got Brian Johnson as our new OC (a Nick pick). By week 3 of that season, I looked at me husband and said, straight-up “They’re not vibing. Look at them. They’re not talking on the bench, on the sidelines, nothing. Look at their faces. They look miserable.” Hubs was all like “They won. A win is a win.” This conversation went on week after week, and we all know what happened next.
They fired Brian and brought in Kellen Moore. It was rocky for a few weeks, and then something happened after week 5 (the bye). They came back gelled and fired up. And it only got better from there. We mowed down the Commies and made the Chiefs look like a Pop Warner team.
Kellen goes to the Saints.
We get another OC (ANOTHER NICK PICK). The entire O line is exactly like they were two years ago. No laughing, no camaraderie, no interest. NO FIRE. Simple high school plays. An extremely annoyed QB. Imagine how they all feel being the best of the best, while having some idjit telling them what plays to make.
It’s complete shit. They know it. We know it. And Nick’s ego is taking a front seat while the team and entire fan base watch the horror show.
I love being a Philadelphia native and Eagles fan. But my god, this fan base is full of some of the most hyperbolic people I’ve ever encountered. He’s fine. It’s annoying that the team isn’t playing well, sure. I also hate it. But they won a title this calendar year. It’s not the end of the world.
As a smith dynasty bag holder I agree lol
Jalen hurts is so good. I will not stand for Hurts slander. But to finally have good receivers after the 90s and early 2000s it’s amazing. Love Aj Brown and Devonta Smith. They are stars.
I remember the old days, with ZERO Super Bowls.
We lost our oc who was fire, to a team who would pay him more go get your bag we all should do that.
I think with our two super bowls In a decade we are kind of being greedy! Football is a team sport and in order to get to the superbowl and win we all know you just need to have the right combination. and this year, we just don’t.
Lots of guys have their talent wasted , and it’s not on the eagles.
See the Ravens. Literally phenomenal talent all across the board, but they just lose so spectacularly. I actually feel so bad for them.
We just won the Super Bowl for fuck sake
We literally won a Super Bowl with him, what are you talking about lol.
Dude is already one of the best wr we’ve ever had and made the dagger play in the Super Bowl. For fuck sake get a grip
We are coming off a Super Bowl win, what are you even talking about. This doomer mentality is insane. Yea they’re playing bad but you’re acting like we’re the Browns or the Jets
Had to do a backflip when he could’ve walked in the endzone smh. But hell of a highlight tho
Feel? Feel? If you are talking about with this OC, this year, it’s common knowledge.
2 super bowls and he’s wasted? What?
Doomers in this sub about to unfollow. All that’s posted here is negative shit and Locker room drama.
As a long time birds fan I bleed green like all of you. This post was pure emotion and I know how much talent we have and also how great this team can be. It’s just disheartening for me to see how we can stagnate like this in 23 and now. You all are right, we should be happy and content. I’ve seen 2 SB wins in my life and should be happy, but the talent we have now is better than ever before. I just hurt as a fan, I want better and our window is open. I love our players to the core and don’t want to see this collapse again. 2023 was hard enough to watch from the stands. We’ll be alright, we’ll get back up, and we’ll do it again. Go Birds!!!!
We won the Super Bowl by 80 points
It’s kinda sad to see a roster this talented coached by a staff with the philosophy of doing as little as possible and eke out a win.
He was so fuckin’ cool about bringing AJ in and on any given day he is the better receiver. I’ll never forget him for that.
Bro megatron played with stafford on the lions and never touched a Super Bowl… as a matter of fact, he never even won a playoff game. He’s arguably a top 5 wr of all time… talking about Smitty is wasting his talents lmaooo
Tough as nails. No ego. Amazing route runner. Great hands. All he does is make plays…over and over again. He’s by far their best player…by FAR!
Look the team has problems, but to say “the talent is wasted” after winning the last superbowl is crazy…
Jalen Hurts has Devonte and AJ doing backflips tryna catch his passes
Yall mfs posting like this need hobbies outside of football. Badly
This is getting out of hand, they’re literally reigning Super Bowl champions. lol. People need to calm down. Vast majority of great teams aren’t becoming dynasties.
We won a superbowl
Just won a Super Bowl. Maybe being a fan is not for you.
Yeah, this season may end up failing but he literally just made a huge play in the Super Bowl. Him and AJ definitely have not been wasted in the overall time they’ve been here.
Fuck off. We just won a Super Bowl. How are u an eagles fan that probably protests in the middle of highways at the same time.
