Cowboys’ $136M Superstar Vows to Retire in Dallas, Chase Super Bowl LX for the City He Loves

October 10, 2025 – The NFL community is exploding after the Philadelphia Eagles' "disastrous" play in their humiliating 17-34 loss to the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night. Star wide receiver DeVonta Smith is accused of missing an easy 89-yard touchdown opportunity – a play that could have flipped the game and sparked an Eagles comeback! But don't pin it all on Smith: quarterback Jalen Hurts is also getting "torched" on X for his overthrow that has Eagles fans boiling over. Could this be the end for Philly's "golden duo"? The debate is spreading like wildfire! The "Disaster" Play That Has Fans Furious In the third quarter, with the Eagles trailing 17-20, Jalen Hurts had a golden chance to turn the tide. From their own 11-yard line, Hurts launched a deep ball to DeVonta Smith – who was wide open after beating Giants cornerback Cor’Dale Flott. But oh no, the throw sailed way over Smith's head, missing an 89-yard touchdown "as easy as pie"! If it had connected, the Eagles could have led 24-20 and taken control. Instead, they punted, the Giants capitalized, and stretched the lead to 34-17. Fans and experts are calling this the "biggest missed opportunity of the season." Reporter Connor Hughes from SNY tweeted: "Jalen Hurts had Devonta Smith wide open for a would-be touchdown. Would have been an 89-yard score. No one near him. Hurts just missed him." Some defend Smith, saying he "slipped" and threw off the timing, but most blame Hurts for the "bad overthrow." Dov Kleiman, with a viral post racking up over 2651 likes, wrote: "Yikes: Jalen Hurts missed a WIDE OPEN DeVonta Smith for an easy touchdown... One of the WORST throws you will see all season." Wave of Criticism Erupts on X This missed play has ignited a storm of debate on X, with thousands of likes, retweets, and heated comments. Eagles fans are divided: One side defends Smith, insisting the fault lies with Hurts' throw, while the other blasts the duo as "not elite." Kendall Beck tweeted: "Jalen Hurts left 7 points off the board by over throwing DeVonta Smith. He left another 7 points off the board by missing AJ Brown in the endzone on the INT... 21-point swing and Eagles lost by 17." – garnering over 355 likes and 39 retweets! Many are calling the play "brutal" and "disgusting," even comparing Hurts to a "mediocre QB." @zpalmer012994 posted a photo and wrote: "Eagles lost this game because Jalen Hurts throws an INT basically in the red zone and also misses a WIDE OPEN DeVonta Smith for a TD…" However, some fans are defending: @3kConner argued, "Smitty literally tripped as he was clearing the DB 😂 I can’t defend Hurts on that pick at all but that “miss”…. Let it go." The debate heats up as some tweets directly criticize Smith, claiming he "missed" by not running fast enough or adjusting. @nick_chaplin: "Jalen Hurts just Missed wide open Devonte Smith on a bomb ..It cost the Eagles Six .Huge mistake" – sparking a war between "Hurts haters" and "Smith defenders." Impact on the Eagles and the Future With this miss, the Eagles didn't just lose the game but exposed major issues in their offense: Hurts had subpar stats (18/29 completions, 198 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT), and Smith (just 4 receptions, 58 yards) is getting flak for not capitalizing. Head coach Nick Sirianni must be scratching his head, as the Eagles now sit at 2-4, drifting further from playoff contention. Fans are calling for changes: "Jalen Hurts lost this game... Those three plays are the difference," per @JBdawg108. Can Smith and Hurts weather this "storm"? Or does Philly need to "reset" the duo? The controversy on X is still raging – what do you think? Is this Smith's fault or Hurts'? Comment below and follow for more NFL drama!
