was jail chili you guys with us 215 592 94 94 opening week on wip presented by hands free sketch or slip and just step in and go the Eagles go on Sunday and it is a must win football game in my mind to get the season off to the right start a great discreet when you come down you take on the game we'll get back to everyone's phone calls on the Eagles here in a second but he'll a quick couple minutes on the fills so we were there yesterday you know doing the leading off into the game we thought about this with the stakes were right they go to Atlanta tonight so they came into yesterday three games back Atlanta was playing at the same time you have the boys in one yesterday they would have guaranteed themselves to stay at least within three games right if the if then I lost to maybe it could have been down to two instead you the double where he happened fillies lose braves wins so now the lead for the braves before this weekend is back to four bad hurts but yesterday for me was a really frustrated win not just because they lost the game two to one but you they reverted yesterday we talked all month of August how the fillies had stopped chasing as much right that better at bats yeah so yesterday against the
against Christian Javier which gave you know brought back you know a weird feelings back to the no-hitter in the twenty twenty two world series but against Christian Javier in the Astros yesterday the fillies saw sixty five pitches out of the strike zone they swung at more of them than they took in the whole time that chase rate has been tracked in the last last 17 years or so it is the highest chase rate the fillies have had in a game since 2009 like think about that for a second we know this team chases a lot they do it in the playoffs we talk about all the time yesterday was the worst day they had chasing pitches out of the zone in seventeen years to that that felt like they reverted to what they are we don't want them to do and they didn't do the whole month all this yesterday and it just was a not a good series against the Astros disappointing yesterday yeah and you can't have that you know we were talking about the other day and I was said well the last couple weeks I've been saying be with feed are yeah and to have the kind of moments where you had where it looked like you weren't chasing into revert to that at this time is not a good feeling for fillies fans knowing that going into the postseason we've had a
problem with that what I had a problem with catch trying to play hero of course and you know I mean look the good teams good pitchers are going to look at what they did yesterday and say we're going to do that exact thing to them in the biggest moment it was very disappointing as you can hear Bryce Harper after the game yesterday talking about the chase and is it a problem or bad day I think we'll be okay you know I really do I don't see us you know going backwards in that in those situations or anything else I think we'll be fine obviously you know we got to do it and you know if we don't then it's gonna look as like a dead you know the last couple years so but you know I think you've done a good job you know over a course of you know 35 40 games so I think we're going to stay within you know within that they did I mean they had a good run I mean August was great this was not a good homestand though that this yesterday was the worst one of them but it felt like they started to revert a little bit
off and so they have to get that corrected and they wasted a good adding by Zach Wheeler Zach Wheeler kind of gutted through that thing got out of a lot of trouble yesterday to keep the you know keep the Astros to what's one run in seven and it's a good start by him with nice strikeouts but disappointing and it makes the task to try to go catch the braves very hard I mean that to lose the game yesterday disappointing well Scott Fransky coming up at noon with us we'll talk to Scott about the series coming up and where the fills are that's coming up at 12 today all right let's go back to the phone lines to Mond in Delco is up on WIP to Mond yeah good morning good morning what's up there so I don't want to go what's up what are you thinking here what's up my partner what's going on man how you doing today how many times we're gonna ask what's up three you you but I called the mess with Joe J. Okay what do you remember Joe you remember what you said to me last week right we could for last week we said all summer all year that Matthew Starrford what's the dude Drake May right these dudes are the name all the time they better than Jayland right and I kept telling you
don't the moment but you always says don't the moment the great moments when we need our guy he comes through I watch Drake May so like like an umbrella under pressure yeah like you always did last year was a fluke for them they had the easiest schedule in the hole in the L Joe yeah the whole NFL and you believe he better than my guy well he was better last year by a lot Dvon I mean without question he was way better last season as far as the game on Wednesday he was he was bad on Wednesday Dvon and I think there is a fair question what that would play last year Joe remember he had to eat it he was supposed to be better well I don't think anyone thought he would be second MVP but yeah I mean I agree with you I thought the schedule was easy last year all that stuff and he was bad on Wednesday I said that a lot yesterday he was actually was terrible in that game so yeah you know we'll see where his season goes but a bad star for Drake May I agree with you on that terrible all right now how about you other guy last night what about you staff for the guy who can't move a lick but Dvon Dvon Dvon
she on her chest not as good as Matthew Stafford I mean like we could have the conversation on Vegas May did it once I mean come on I mean Matthew Stafford is a better player according to you now I get my phone across the whole of course this I'm gonna get this according to everyone right and according not everyone but according to you right stats matter right so Matthew Stafford only got his joy and everything when he got to the Rams prior to that he threw the ball a million times he or mommy of you blitzel with some ways right he threw the ball he got it all his hands he's a great so of the ball but I don't mean that he's better than Jaylin Jaylin got more accomplishment than he got if you ask me believe it to me he's a better quarterback if I if you if I say I want right now today Matthew Stafford or Jaylin I'm gonna take Jaylin because Jaylin can get out the way he can run he's much younger and he can evolve he's been alive he showed up that he's not me Tom Matthew Stafford was the MVP of the league last year the league and he couldn't move he could move but what does that mean like so what the Peyton Manning couldn't move Tom Brady couldn't move who cares
yeah yeah look at him this year he did three intersections Jaylin wanted to do that in that moment that's a separate three picks last night did he no I think one I think it was one my should have due two more because he was reckless out there he was one under separation it was reckless Demont could can Jaylin play well like one time before we we try to have this debate are we are we not like prepared for like what if he has a bad games on that we're playing well he didn't play well last season like this crazy there's a thing Joe I believe that he will play somewhat mediocre the first couple games because he has to get used to the awesome but i'm telling you by mid season when i call you out of six and eight week i don't want to hear nothing joke what i want to do my name and i know he hearsley hearsley hearsley you're going to hear if he's playing as well as those guys or better i'll say that and if he's not i'll say that too like that this isn't like you want to say that but do you want to meet that to morn i don't know why this is so hard for everyone all i like i don't again i i
it in the mind we preach the phone call i i know we were doing this show then but in twenty twenty two i thought she was a tough five player in the NFL i said he should have won the MVP or he would have if he didn't get hurt if jalen plays at a high level i'll say he played at a high level like we don't i don't just sit here and say he's not good and if he plays well i still say that just like like it feels like with everyone else if he doesn't play well you just decided he's good and his play doesn't matter every week the play matters we are at peak jalen hurts insecurity do these people know what kind of can of worms you open by reacting like this to one game to game one both may and staffer now it's i was told this i was told that could you imagine if we came in on sunday or monday and jalen hurts was you know whatever he doesn't have a good game he similar staffer numbers right one hundred fifty five yards no touchdowns one underception and we're sitting here going i told you jalen can't run this offense yeah what kind of a reaction would we get well it's you're being unfair it's too early to understand how ridiculous they sound it's one game one game that now the main thing i you if you want to say the jury still
lacas may is still young they had an easy schedule all i think that is fair and he did not play well in the postseason last year i think there's uh that's fair the staffer thing i mean guys i mean here two weeks ago general off season tv saying if staffer wins on a streetboys it's hot five to seven quarterback ever now we're biolic we disagreed with that but the fact that that is even a conversation means the guy's pretty go pretty good right like that someone could say he's he's close to the upper echelon of all timers is like well he's obviously good well by the way a lot of the focus on the quarterback that that lost him played badly yeah what about the other one no one has anything to say about Brock party no well all right because he played well right i just like you know but like we get the i was told this guy is better than jalen but like do we now using the same logic i was told jalen was better than Brock party well on those lists this summer the most than had her to get hurt i just i could say i told you so i get one game i guys you people are not well that's why they need to win the game on forever sunday is one game that's a must win
it is absolutely a must win game let's let's go to jeth and will meet to jeth so what happens if jalen falls out on sunday and we lose what are you gonna do that there's no easy way i love the way you said like what are you gonna do well i'm not gonna do anything i'm gonna sit here and talk about it but i'll be disappointed they lost the game and think it's a really big deal for the season but i'll be happy jalen played well i mean i would be more disappointed if they lose because it's the commanders me too i don't think it's it's a must win game yes because you don't want to lose to the division team early in the season and yeah could it come back to bite you at the butt later on possibly but there's there's no way they're gonna lose the state i i i jeth i i agree with you i mean i to me it's one of the four or five easiest games on the schedule i mean like you go to the arizona you know you go late in the season there's a couple games and they're like all right they should win that one indianapolis at home you know there's some some softer spots but if i'm drawn up a list of the easiest games this is on
it so that's why to me it's it's absolutely a must win yeah in that sense yes it is because you cannot afford to lose the games you're supposed to win right um in the NFL that's just tell they agree with that you can't do it well and you know what i'm saying yeah that's totally agree with that that's why i say it's a must win on that on that tip yeah as far as the overall season i mean are we just going to just shut it down tomorrow after sunday if they lose no we're gonna be super mad no but i i will say this yeah we're gonna be on our feet we're gonna be in our feet listen guys i'm not shutting it down and this obviously there's all there's months and months and months and months to go but i i don't the path to eleven wins includes this game right like i it does yeah so that's i mean so i think you're not and Jeff good phone i think we see it similar i mean it's it's it's hard to say it it's right i think it's hard for people to say it out loud because you don't want to what do you mean like what if they don't win right i must win they need to win this football game joe i get exactly where you're coming from and and and to be
honest i'm being logical but football season by the start so nobody's being logical so i think a lot of people are i pick up what you're putting down because if you lose this game it's gonna be all the questions that we have about offense things can't but to not can't but uh wow man still can't pull yeah well no that's i'm saying it's it's it's gonna be we're gonna be one if man and right guy for the job yep we're gonna be wondering if jaylon's the right guy for the job what's going on with off it like there's gonna be a whole lot of questions we're gonna overreact to this game and that's the natural response to it but when you talk about the path that the Eagles are on they're still in a good space it just won't feel good because you know when you look at this team and you look at the Comma doors we don't feel like you we're not in the same call to say that's exactly the same call to say exactly right if you take an ill i get why you upset definitely get why a must win r 215 592 94 94 we'll get to last night along with your calls on the birds for sunday is it a must win game i will uh well let you hear from shahmick veh i'll give my official statement on my prediction
