Shane Haff tweet post on Twitter X.com reads: “This [Philadelphia] Eagles offense is an unmitigated disaster”

Nick and Kev just wracked with fear on offense this half up two scores.

You can straight-up smell it as they continue to sap this defense while praying for the clock to baby step to 0:00 like Bob Freakin’ Wiley.

Really stagnating against a poor #Cowboys defense that has erred to the side of aggression since that first big storm.

Told my buddy I don’t like the #Bears matchup next week.

#Eagles
Chicago Bears fan buddy: My game line prediction is 10.5. Bears won’t cover. This will be the game I have the least expectations for Me: Hmm not sure. Not a gambler. My personal line is probably Eagles -6.5 with an O/U like 47.5. We don’t run the ball well enough to make an attacking defense pay. And we don’t draw up ways to use overpursuit to our advantage. I would be surprised and angry to lose. But I just don’t like the matchup from a purely schematic sense.

I’m glad I retired a with a five-year run as a fantasy powerhouse in 2016.

I love rooting for storylines and #Eagles mathematics over individual points and moneylines.

Fun fact: My wife #Bumble messaged me in 2016 about this fantasy championship pic!

Quick thoughts BLJ presser statement today on OL improvement.

I feel like I give credit where it’s due, and empathize with 80% of my blame.

So while *I* think it’s accurate as *I* interpret the game, I’m more confident it’s fair.

#Eagles Shane’s third paragraph is basically this:

Easily and by far the #Eagles opinion I trust and respect most (more than many NFL analysts on TV/radio) explaining how ridiculous the theory is JUST Jalen/AJ defied entire playcall/gameplanplan.

The oppo narrative is basically saying Col. Jessep didn’t order the Code Red on PFC William Santiago.
Eagles Film Analyst Shane Haff analyzed the Philadelphia Eagles controversial pass play turnover on downs at Lambeau Field that jeopardized their victory over the Packers on Monday Night Football, 11/10/25: I don't buy this. The Eagles didn't try to draw the Packers offside. They didn't give a hard count or fake tap to the C. They lined up and ran a play. If you wanted to take a delay of game to give more room for the punter to work, you don't have to take a timeout to do that. The Eagles took a timeout, lined up to run a play, never tried to draw the Packers offside, and then snapped the ball. I fully buy that Hurts checked AJ Brown's route into something else. I don't buy for a second that Sirianni told them to take a delay of game, and they just didn't do it. If that were true, it's an even bigger indictment of the coaching staff than simply calling that play would be to begin with, because it would involve the entire offense agreeing to disregard what the coach told them to do. Not a single OL is late out of their stance. Not a single WR is late off the line. The whole team being on board with defying the coach with the game on the line is much less believable (and much worse if true) than the coach making a stupid decision.

Gonna be hard for Brad Underwood to coach just his second team past first weekend in a decade-long P4 coaching career if he keeps destroying his players in practice.

PS. Ty was hurt away from practice in a pickup game, but point carries.
Illinois basketball Bluesky thread discussing the nature of practice at Ubben facility as run by head coach Brad Underwood: Illini Hoops @illinihoops.bsky.social • Bluesky post: Apparently, Tomi Ivisic is out tonight with a knee injury suffered this week in practice. That, in addition to Mihailo Petrovic, Brandon Lee, Ty Rodgers, and possibly Andrej Stojakovic (game-time decision). What in the world is happening in practice?!? K. Andrew Deffley -Big Deff- @andrewdeffley.bsky.social response comment: Kofi Cockburn played through practice concussion, Trent Frazier wrapped from neck to waist bc of "horrendous" fall in practice (Brad himself called the fall horrendous), Jayden Epps overnight hospital stay after practice fall, RJ Melendez playing thru season-ruining shoulder injury after practice fall. Plus all you list above. It's just Bradsketball baby! Illini Hoops @illinihoops.bsky.social thread response: Yeah... hope it's just a coincidence, but... K. Andrew Deffley -Big Deff- @andrewdeffley.bsky.social response comment: That's a lot of years of a lot of players and a lot of coincidences! Lol NOTE: Ty Rodgers was hurt in a pick-up game away from the team in his home state of Michigan. He was not hurt at Illini practice in Champaign.

Hey kids… If you like threes, and you like dunks, and you like blocks, then you want Big Z to start—and play significant minutes—alongside his brother Tomi.

Thoughts vs Rutgers. Feels like we need both time of possession and field position to win, and they really just need TOP.

I think we do it but I’m definitely more concerned and less confident than I should be.
Big Deff’s Keys to the Game for Illinois Fighting Illini football versus Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at Gies Memorial Stadium in Champaign, IL: 1. Keep Rutgers Guessing: Illini Offensive Coordinator Barry Lunney showed how to mitigate this O-Line at Washington. Constantly mix RPO/Zone Read. Force hesitation by Rutgers Front Seven to get control at line of scrimmage (LOS), sets up straight zone handoffs. 2022 Illini RPO former Illinois quarterback Tommy DeVito dink n’ dunk today for QB Luke Altmyer. 2. Otherwise Fire Up, Not Out: More gap blocking. Predetermined point of attack (POA), and get the RBs there fast. Rutgers worst run D in B1G. Set up PA pass. 3. Keep Defense off the Field: Cliché but crucial. Bad things happen when Illini defense takes the field.
