Pats at Eagles – 1st Half
Posted: November 27th, 2011 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 171 Comments »Dear Eagles Defense,
Please come out and dominate the game up front. I don’t care if we have 3 sacks or 13, but do make sure to hit Tom Brady over and over and keep him from sitting in a clean pocket and ripping us to shreds.
INACTIVES:
QB Mike Vick
WR Jeremy Maclin
OL King Dunlap
OG Julian Vandervelde
DE Brandon Graham
DE Phillip Hunt
CB DRC
The good news is that Nnamdi Asomugha is active. Let’s see how much he’s on Gronkowski today.
Go Eagles !
Whats up with Graham? Thats from his ribs, right… not an aggravation of the leg?
Go Birds, thats all I got. Not feeling confident, but I’ll be wearing my heart on my sleeve for the next 3 and a half hours irregardless.
Swelling of the knee. Typical stuff when coming back from an ACL injury.
I just refreshed your page and saw this thread and almost had a heart attack. Then I looked at the time. I thought that I had missed the start of the game. 😛
I’m laughing because I just did the same thing!
Here’s to yelling at the tv for 3.5 hrs while my girlfriend can’t understAnd why I get so upset. Hoping the PBR will keep me calm
We’re not normal…we’re Eagles fans.
WOW!!
HANGIN WITH RILEY COOPER.
how bad are we that the network went to the end of the Browns/Bengals game instead of our kickoff…
What a start!!!!!!
I am a fan of this start.
Ditto (sorry for the wordiness).
CBS screwed up the start there but go Eagles O!!!! When was the last time our offense was explosive like that?!
Riley has had his doubters, but I’ve supported him for a while. Kid has a lot of talent.
Wtf happened to the 18 play drive?!
Well played.
I said we had to be perfect to win. So far pretty perfect.
Seeing a special teams tackle NOT made by Colt Anderson or Akeem Jordan is like seeing the Jersey Devil on a date with a Unicorn.
Hadn’t thought of it from that angle. Pretty darn true.
NICE NOT TO SPOT THE OPPOSITION 7. GO LUCKY UNDERPANTS GO. (sorry caps)
“nice not to spot” and “lucky underpants” in the same post? No comment really but you are a braver man than me.
Anything that helps us win is okay by me.
Nice pressure
Nice defensive start!
Keep getting up in Brady’s face, and it will pay off in the end.
Excellent way to start the game for all three phases (except the kick return by Lewis).
Thus far, Brady has a dirty pocket.
On Fireeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh, the drops now and the timeout with 8:27 left in the first quarter. Ughhhhhhhhhhh
if it leads to a 1st down, it is a prudent move. otherwise, rant away 🙂
Young looks focused this week, I like what Im seeing out of him and our pass protection is ridiculous.
I thought only Castillo was allowed to call time outs tonight?!!
Nice, I’ll take a 10 point lead, keep the defensive pressure on!!!
I know its early, but we’re dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. If we keep this up, it can only mean good things.
10 quick points, could be a worse start. Shady needs to swap out his hands for a fresh pair though.
He needs earplugs. He’s hearing footsteps.
I think that’s only Henery 2nd over 40 yds. Andy gaining confidence in his new kicker.
Have to imagine BEllicheat will adjust his safeties pronto…need something working besides the bomb now. nice they sneak out to a 10pt lead though
VY is on pace to throw for 520 yards and 0 TD’s. Ugh!!!
Nice hit by Coleman, that’s how you make them think.
Cullen Jenkins is a Manimal.
big stick by Coleman…solid tackle by mmmBop…what teams defense is this??
Agreed. Last game and this game: totally different D. Nasty Attitude!
Eagles playing physical, we gotta get a 3rd down stop though, that play to Welker was killer you knew from the presnap motion it was designed to go to him.
By the way the hurry up came out, called that in the previous thread. Penalty stopped it in its tracks fortunately.
Blatant hold.
Dammit, NEED to start getting some 3rd down stops.
Cole got absolutely mugged on that 3rd & 3.
Damn, at least we made them work for it and beat up on a couple of their guys. I want to see the D stiffen on third down though.
Dion Lewis not bringing out the kickoff from 8 yards deep? There’s something weird about this game..
Young has all day.
Taking a timeout in order to give them a free first down. Nice job Juan’s defense.
Fucking asshole refs
I’m fucking tired of this bullshit
Refs screwing us so far.
Nice call on the facemask penalty.
Oh wait, they missed another blatant call on the Pats. I forgot.
Change of momentum…
Yeah, momentum changes so quickly. Was a great first half of the first quarter. Lets hope they can get some of that back right here.
Bout time
Another game full of defensive offsides
We got a break.
How in the fuck is that happening
Twice
How quickly a game can appear to fall apart.
…well, it was fun while it lasted.
Well, we all knew with Juan’s defense the Eagles were going to need to score at least 35. This doesn’t really change anything.
Good show, D. Good show.
COLE’S OFFSIDE . . .
What’s so remarkably stupid about what Cole does is he’s actually starring at the football.
HELLO!!!!
What is wrong with Nnamdi, if his knee is that bad why let him suit up?
Brady picking on Brandon Hughes with Nmandi out.
The Eagles brought their A game…. For the first 7 minutes.
Great start, then a sloppy sequence. We knew this wasn’t going to be an easy game. Keep going and make some plays.
Cole was blocked in the back on the 2nd TD… (also Young was facemasked and his pick could have been a pass interference call)… really frustrating
There’s NO reason to be playing any man-to-man defense today — as long as Nnamdi’s injured and out.
You have Asante who’s a zone animal.
And Brandon Hughes who’s facing one of all time best QBs.
Protect the guy.
Good to know we’ll get some calls in this fucking game.
Fucking cheating pussies
Like the announcers even saying there should have been an interference call. Refs are giving the pats this game.
Young’s arm really sucks
No DPI? Oh, okay, cool. Rules don’t apply to the Patriots, I forgot.
Game over.
Not???
Nice work by the refs today helping out the Pats here.
Are these the same refs that called that horrible redskins game last year?
I mean I wanted to believe. But I get the feeling this is going to get ugly quick. We can’t stop em. And we can’t score on em every drive as the last two show.
Tommy —
Write it down now: This will be one of those 59 passes 10 run games called by Marty & Andy.
Somebody needs to be kicked in the head right now.
Belichik’s approach to shell shock – methodical run oriented drive, just to give his D time to regroup. Marty Reid, bombs away. RIDICULOUS
We haven’t established the run at all here in the 1st half. Not a good sign.
That was a big stop
This about to be 17 points scored in what 5 minutes of game time from the first TD to now?
well thank you Mr. Gostkowski
Yes! Now if the refs can stay out of the way.
Another momentum swing? #hopeful
A kicker missing a field goal against us? WTF?
Nice break, nice break.
Tom Brady’s hair looks like Frankenstein’s Monster.
Tom, now remember to count to 10 when your kicker misses!
A Chad Hall run?
Chad Hall ?!?!??!?!
I’m not a fan of Chad Hall.
I know AR likes Hall, but why hand it to him when you have McCoy? Especially when McCoy is not in likely need of a breather.
With Vick we’d be winning this frigging game!!!
Guys, they just mix in Chad Hall from time to time to see if they can catch the D off guard and get a couple of yards. Don’t make such a big deal of it.
Agreed, I’m thinking we should pull Swoop in from the sidelines and see if he can catch the D off guard as well.
I understand mixing him in when we are getting a steady dose of McCoy, but mixing him in when we are barely seeing McCoy is only helping the Pats. Not to mention, when Chad Hall is in the backfield, is it really “catching the D off guard”? I don’t remember a single time in the last two years we have run a pass with Hall in the backfield. Lastly, if you want to “mix” things up, what happened to Lewis or Brown.?
The problem is that is was on 2nd and 14, basically guaranteeing a 3rd and long.
TOMMY —
Do you think other teams oblivious to the Chad Hall surprise?
Think about it…when the Pats were studying film this week there’s no way they thought Chad Hall would get a handoff on 2nd and 14. So for you complainers that was just Andy pulling a fast one on Belichick!
It’s only a big deal because McCoy has like 3 runs so far.
I love having Cullen Jenkins on our team. High effort, nasty streak, big hitter. He’s a perfect compliment to the quiet steadiness of Patterson. Hope his hand(I think?) is okay.
I hate this team, but lol Cullen Jenkins faking injury to slow the pats no huddle, guess they were expecting it after all.
Judging by the way he clubbed Hanson’s helmet, I’m guessing he wasn’t faking anything.
Hrmph. I’m gonna go make a turkey sandwich.
The new question is now how much will the Patriots win by, not if they will win.
Why does it look like Allen is 10 yards away from the deep guy on every deep ball from Brady so far tonight?
Jesus Christ, could we at least make them work for it? Our secondary is completely fucking this thing up.
At least let’s attempt to look like we want to make them work for it.
Giving up 21 points in 9 minutes makes me wonder if we can stop them at all the rest of the way.
Looks like we are about to be blown out. Never going to get to beat Brady. 🙁
Yeah . . . the Eagles have a chance today. NOT.
The Patriots O-line is DOMINATING the Eagles D-Line.
After a few early hits on Brady in the first series, the Eagles D-line has disappeared.
And on running plays? Fuhgetaboutit.
Pats are dominating.
_____________
Last time New England played the “Wide 9”, they put up 59 points.
_____________
Where is the booing?
Come on Belichick, you’re gonna waste our time challenging a 4-yard difference on the kick return? Douchebag.
Not that it would have mattered . . . but this game turned completely on the missed face-mask
And the holds on Cole and the non-call on pass interference.
Done-er than Dinner.
What is Chad Halls, longest career run? I’ll save you the time. 8yrds.
So yea, catching them off guard woud do what?
Games against the Patriots are painful because it shows how far the Eagles are from being an elite franchise.
Are we ever going to give the ball to LeSean McCoy?
Thank god Mccoy made the most of his last touch until the 4th quarter.
Nice play! But how in the world is that not PI as well?
To repeat:
We’ll see maybe 2-3 more runs from McCoy.
_______________
And Brady posted 59 against the “Wide 9” a couple years ago . . . in the snow.
They didn’t even call pass interference on the play to Celek. Laughable.
Pfft. Patriots don’t commit penalties.
Fucking dicks. Just give LeSean a god damn chance inside the 10. Back to back pass plays?
Vince Young’s perfect pass to Coop is the EXCEPTION.
He’s remarkable inaccurate . . . in NFL terms.
Holy crap. Those are some loud boos for DeSean. Deserved.
Not one Mccoy run. Not one.
Agreed that’s a problem but the playcall worked, DeSean couldn’t execute for another TD drop in his contract year. Think that brings his total to 4 for this season.
This FG is on the fat fuck and his side kick. Give the ball to LeSaen a couple times. He’s by far our best player. Fuck.
Alligator arms.
Ya see that right there Jackson? THAT is why you won’t get paid elite money and why you really, really shouldn’t.
Alligator arms!!
He saw a hit coming and got scared.
21-3 run. Sorry if I’m not happy with that drive. Fuck get in the god damn endzone. Jesus christ our offensive play calling is shitty….what else is new though.
Or at least call a running play or two. Give Mccoy some goal line touches and maybe not give Brady over 2 minutes to carve up Juan’s defense again.
Take another million per off DeSean’s contract.
Pass rush needs to quit getting so low and taking themselves outta the play. Have had decent pressure early in plays, but he steps up in the pocket and they are so wide and miss and are on the ground. Brady is murdering us.
Difference between Eagles and very one else . . .
THE RED ZONE — and the horrendous play calling.
RUN the DAMN Ball.
Not interested in D-Jax choke job. Run it.
We simply HAVE to keep them from scoring before the half. They’ll be getting the ball first in the second.
And then they allow Brady to run for, what, 15 yards?!??
And Brady has now even more rushing yards than VY.
Well disiplined team we got here. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I hate our coaching staff.
The question isn’t will they score, but will they score a TD or a FG before the end of the half.
Part of the Wide 9 is ignoring the ball — even while looking at it — and going with the cadence.
OUTRAGEOUS
You’ve gotta make that catch, Nnamdi!!
That bastard tried to Fitzpatrick us!
We should call a TO here.
Guess we stopped em anyway.
DeSean looks like a 5 yr old watching a scary movie every time a defender comes near him on a pass attempt.
Fat ass is going to go to the half. I know it. Pussy coach, he’ll call a draw and be happy to go into the half down 10
OK, so the defense sucks, the refs are on the take and the offense can’t keep the muzzle away from its own foot. Am I forgetting anythying?
Alright, so Dion Lewis for a 4 yd return, and then let’s break out our secret weapon, Chad Hall, for this drive!
How bad would it look like if DRC was in the slot and not Hanson.
Avant is good — but the quickness Welker shows that quickness, not size, seems more important.
Can we get a real kick returner already? We don’t have anyone who will look better than Dion?
Been wondering this too. Is it really that hard to find a decent RS? (honest question)
Our team is so fucking dumb. Throw it away. Fucking idiot.
We have a poorly coached team.
How does Young not realize that time in teh half is running out?
I mean fuck, I’d love somone to explain to me how we make so many dumb mental mistakes. Please?
It scares me how players lack the awareness that w/ 59 seconds and 1 timeout that the enemy is the CLOCK.
Scrambles are moronic. Just throw it away.
Consistent dumb plays. I can’t fucking believe our whole team acts like they’ve never played before.
hey hey, its Julian Sexualassaultman.
outcoached 1st, outplayed 2nd
Sigh, if there was ever a time to dig deep and bring your A game, this would be it.
They needed their “A” game 6 times earlier this year and failed to bring it. It is just disgusting how poor their effort is. How poor their game plan is. And how poor disipline is. This team isn’t a good team. Its players aren’t good together. It’s coaches aren’t doing a good job. They show what they could be from time to time, but overall this is a bad team and it shows up more than it doesn’t.
How about we pay DeSean the minimum base salary, and then give him 1 mil. for ever 10 catches in a season. Maybe then we could put on the right set of hands.
