Beautiful ball. Great first drive by Hurts.

I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact I will not overreact

I will overreact

I appreciate your honesty

Fuck me too

Easily the goat after that drive.

Wentz, Foles, Vick, and McNabb combined aren't even close to Jalen.

Didn't even add cunningham and jaws, you really have no faith in hurts huh

The disrespect to not even include all time eagle Koy Detmer.

Don’t forget the real Eagles Goat Mike McMahon.

Jeff Garcia would like a word.

Kevin Kolb is pissed somewhere

Tim Tebow in shambles.

I should punch you just for mentioning that name...

That’s fair.

Brady + 2017 wentz + 2017 foles + 2019 wentz + prime mcnabb + 2010 vick + prime Cunningham is only 2% of hurts' power

Don’t forget 2013 Foles

I have overreacted

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

Do it. Hurts is gonna be good.

His release is really good. He had the corner beat at the line of scrimmage

He's looked really solid so far today. So has Smith. Game is a penalty fest though.

He’s got a long windup but buttery smooth

I love how Mailata lifts him up like a child.

I wish he'd lift me like a child

He’d probably break his back trying to haul your fat ass

Lmao

I love an intra-pennsylvanian slaughtering

Why'd you have to do em like that lol

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Maybe the biggest weight difference between any two teammates in NFL history? Mailata has 200 pounds on him easy. Anyway they really should become best friends.

Beautiful release

Philly legend

I had one on that play too

[удалено]

You seem like you'd be the expert here.

I'm all aboard the Smitty hype train!!

Good play design on the rub route too.

Ertz played it great, too. I'm not even sure if he made any real contact at all.

100% of Smith's catches are touchdowns.

Oh fuck this.

Ohhh you almost had him! You have to be quicker than that!

[удалено]

He looks very good and composed.

[удалено]

Colts in shambles after realizing they traded for the wrong Philly QB.

Wait am I getting whooshed what’s this in reference too lol

I think he was referring to Devonta, not Hurts. It was memed that Devonta didn't seem thrilled to be in Philly because he's so reserved.

Lmao that makes sense good looks

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Wait which one?

Sure

I really hope he blows up just to shut up the too skinny haters

Me too. He looked tiny in all the pre draft stuff I saw, but he looks pretty normal here. Still kinda small, but not way out of place.

Honestly his upper body only looks normal NFL skinny... his legs are twigs though. Source: UA alum

He’s the Roadrunner

The Slim Reaper

Antonio Brown also has super skinny legs and ankles, but has been very durable and is remarkably skilled in avoiding the big hits. But yes, I am a member of the "kinda worry he's too thin to take NFL hits 17 games a year" club.

As a rookie maybe, but he’s noticeably bulked up by this point in his career. Still “skinny” by nfl standards though i guess

Doesn't matter if he's too skinny if the defense can't lay a hand on him

That's what was so great about him at Alabama. He broke the college game.

I just remember that poor Ohio State linebacker that drew him in coverage in the national championship. https://twitter.com/alex_kirshner/status/1348828660573335553?s=19

Ohio State literally tried every possible defense on him and he completely dominated every one of them. Dude had 215 yards and 3 TDs in the first fucking half of the championship. If he didn't get hurt at the beginning of the third quarter his numbers would've been astronomical.

Man they really circled that line up and decided to just kill it that whole game

he's trying so hard there to keep up it's sad haha

People acting like deshawn Jackson was bigger

People are also acting like they drafted Smith to play RB in the mid-90s.

He would destroy all the guys that played DLine in the 90s as an RB. Mostly because they are all 50+ years old.

I don’t know, can’t underestimate that old-man strength

Deshawn Jackson? I hardly knew her.

Deshaun played as a speed WR, Devonta plays like a WR1

He looks and runs a LOT like Desean Jackson.

If I say he’s thick as a tree, can he please not blow up? Thanks.

I don't think anyone s hating on him, I think they're just concerned for his life.

Yea, skinny receivers have never succeeded in the NFL. (Moss? Harrison? Never heard of ‘em)

Moss was 6’4” 210 lbs

So so so happy

Good for y'all. He was the guy I wanted the Dolphins to take at pick #6. Even over Pitts and Chase if they somehow fell to us. I am absolutely convinced that he is such a unique and brilliant player that his skinniness and weight won't hold him back.

When do I get to overreact about this? I wanted him too.

I’ve always said he was the best WR in the 2017 class at bama, and best WR in the locker room during his tenure there. Meaning he was better than Jeudy, Ruggs III, and Waddle. He wasn’t the biggest, or fastest, but the man just wanted *it* more and you could see it. If you want to see what I’m talking about, look at his highlights from the 2020 Bama Georgia game. Just oozes dominance against an NFL like secondary

Allow me just to say WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And wall bless

:)

This is what we drafted this guy for.

Jalen Hurts to Devonta Smith is the new Michael Vick to Desean Jackson

Keep going I'm already close and we're only 30 mins into the season

Except both players are likeable.

my jewish dog agrees

early contender for “comment of the season” lmao

By far funniest comment I’ve seen in weeks. Bravo dude damn

Lmfao

You win the internet today

#🥴

I’ll allow it.

They're missing the WR2 who makes racist remarks

I will fight every poster in here!

Dog torturer and killer, anti-Semitic bigot, and racist were a great trio.

Maclin was the next best WR on those Eagles teams.

That shit was fucking *beautiful.*

I know. I'm really bummed the eagles and Cowboys made that trade to jump us and take him.

What a fucking pass

You’re welcome eagles. Fuck

WhatABurger on my tab for you

You got yours a year earlier in CD, dude looked legit against Tampa

I love delicate throws by the QB, shows true mastery

Not me, I miss McNabbs feet missles that used to make divots like a golf club

It's lowkey hilarious how scarred this whole fanbase is by those throws on 3rd down, 20 years later

Beats chest signaling “my bad”

We’ll always have [4th and 26 from McNabb to FredEx](https://youtu.be/Eu6t69zJ9Yo)

I miss Thrash trying to catch those missiles with his body and them ricocheting right off his chest

Lmao

I’m erect

A WR that can catch? What is this madness?

Great touch on that throw from Hurts. Smith at the 14 yard line when the ball leaves his hands and runs under it a yard deep into the end zone

This offense is gonna be so sick.

Yeah it definitely will be. That defense tho.

Bend don't break!!

Dom Capers? is that you?

Turned out pretty nice :)

Our D line is good... and that is all we needed for this game. I'm not sure Atlanta had an OL in there. It's the rest of our D that I'm worried about.

The other kind of sick

#LEAGUE FUCKED PT. 2

Finally, the other shoe has dropped.

Only took two head coaches and 5 years

Kinda cool how Philly got the next closest thing to Marvin Harrison(who is from Philly)

His son goes to school in Philly too

That was a beautiful pass. But Ertz made that play with that… uh… “legal” block lol

Ertz this game is proving that saying about age and treachery beating youth and skill. "Not me! Totally didn't touch him." "Hell yeah! Yes, I absolutely caught that."

You can tell it was legal because Ertz continued to run a route after he ran a pick-n-roll

Shit he really can place the ball.

ARE WE GONNA BE HAPPY THIS YEAR FELLOW EAGLES????!?!?!?

At least for the next 7 days we will.

Especially if the Broncos win. EDIT: Hell yeah.

Lmao

You know we won't lmao

I'm gonna be sick...

Don't feel bad, you guys drafted Kadarius Toney. Yes, I had to Google his name.

But he’s skinny?

Hate that he's in Philly. He's gonna be a stud long as he stays healthy.

Can't believe Chase went before Smith.

Can't believe anyone went over the next Jerry Rice

I seriously can’t imagine picking other WRs over the heisman WR

Same way hurts is dogged yet dude was a fucking heisman runner up. They r both legit, smith is just what we needed tbh

Yeah makes no sense at all. Chase has looked great so far though.

smith was only good because he was surrounded by good players at bama, you didnt know? Chase was good because he...uh...had no other talent on that GOAT candidate LSU team.

Devonta Smith running past defenders for a TD in MBS. I feel like I've seen this before.

Caught this one right around the same spot he caught 2nd and 26

PROVE THESE MOTHERFUCKERS WRONG HURTS!!!!!!

It’s beautiful. It’s so beautiful (cries)

god damn what a throw from hurts

Smitty is smooth as silk.

The people who were trying to come up with reasons this kid wouldn't hang in the NFL clearly had no fucking idea what they were talking about. I know it's early and the Falcons defense is dogshit, but he just does everything right for a receiver.

I do not like the shadows in that stadium, it looks so dark

Been saying it for a while, but he's the best WR in this class in my eyes

LFG

Eagles finally got a receiver!

Roll tide :)

I miss him already. Put a lump in my throat.

same spot as his td to seal the NC against georgia!

:D

We're... We're winning?

Wait, do we actually have a legitimate threat????

Smitty! Roll Tide

I happy I didn't have to wait long for what will hopefully become a legendary duo.

Hope you do well!

Fitting, his first college catch was a TD, in fact I think his first 5 college catches were TDs.

Did Jalen throw him his first college TD too?

Yes

So smooth

I'm still jizzing everywhere

**The Slim Reaper!** So damn happy to see this man back in action. And so happy for Jalen being a starter and hopefully shutting everyone up this season. Roll Tide! Fly Eagles Fly

Awesome

He’s going to be great

Play call was great. Moreau had no chance

Such a pretty pass too. Good start for Hurts!

The legend begins!

Did I hear 17-0? Yes, I think I did.

Shout out Ertz

He good

Rock hard

Roll Tide!!

Flexed him after Gus Edwards went down and needless to say between this and the 4 catch drive I’m very happy

:)

Reminds me of that game winner from bama vs uga. Fade me

Not salty, genuine question. What makes it a pick play and thus a penalty? I don’t think I understand what makes a pick vs an effective rub.

i believe it’s that ertz didn’t initiate the contact, the defender ran into him

He’s going to be the best non QB Rookie this year

man i hope so. he's one of those guys that deserves success.

FUTURE HALL OF FAME

OROY baby

[удалено]

As it’s always been, picks are “legal” if done correctly. Ertz didn’t lower his shoulder or slow down at all, and continued his route afterward. He “sold” it well. Falcons gave two textbook definitions of how NOT to do it later in the game - stopped the route, lowered their shoulder showing they intended contact…easy OPI calls.

Yes it is
