The Dennis Kelly era begins.  He will start at RG.  Danny Watkins is inactive.  We wondered about Vinny Curry playing, but he also is inactive.

QB Trent Edwards
RB Dion Lewis
WR Damaris Johnson
OL Danny Watkins
OL Nate Menkin

DE Vinny Curry
LB Jamar Chaney

Everybody starting to get a bit excited?

Go Eagles!!!

    Give me an early TD and I’ll feel pretty good.

    A 1st Qtr turnover will get my anxiety into high gear.

  2. 2 Steag209 said at 12:47 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Same. I just want the O to look competent on our first drive

  3. 3 TheRogerPodacter said at 12:55 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    it would be great to see our offense not lose the field position battle for the whole team

  4. 4 T_S_O_P said at 12:47 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Clocks changed here. Are we up in 14 minutes?

  5. 5 Crus57 said at 12:54 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I think so

    Re: Todd Bowles Era . . . what to expect from the Falcons

    It’ll be interesting to see how the Falcons script their first 15 or so plays . . . because we should get some insight into how coaches use formations, motion,
    and plays to find out what to expect from the defense.

    Especially one that has no film

  7. 7 SteveH said at 12:57 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Sigh, I have no expectations, I’m in sit back and wait to see what happens mode. Win or lose I don’t think I’ll buy too much into it.

  8. 8 T_S_O_P said at 1:00 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I’m ready! I hope my Birds are too. Go Eagles!

  9. 9 Corry Henry said at 1:00 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I only want this to be a turnover free game for the offense and I’d like to see 1 on defense. If they win great, but I’m pretty worn down this team at this point.

  10. 10 Kanin Faan said at 1:00 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I like it that king dunlap is back. And if you decide to dump that podcast-partner of yours for his lack of love for the Blues Brothers Im all on your side.
    Somebody should tell Andy Reid that; “- Its 10 weeks left on the regular season. We have a full tank of gas, half a decent team, its not getting darker and we’re all cheering for you. HIT IT! “

  11. 11 T_S_O_P said at 1:04 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    There is as much wind in Philly as there is here with my upset gut. Let’s hope our go to goal is good this week.

  12. 12 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:05 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    cox had the ball in his hands! huge missed play there…

  13. 13 Corry Henry said at 1:05 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Aw c’mon Fletch! hold onto that!

  14. 14 lilmc said at 1:05 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Damn Fletcher

  15. 15 TommyLawlor said at 1:07 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    So close…

  16. 16 Corry Henry said at 1:06 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Was that a Casey Mathews sighting?

  17. 17 T_S_O_P said at 1:06 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Early snaps for Matthews. Is he starting?

  18. 18 Corry Henry said at 1:06 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Was just about to edit my post to ask the same thing.

  19. 19 TommyLawlor said at 1:07 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Kendricks is benched for a series. Some kind of punishment.

  20. 20 T_S_O_P said at 1:08 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Matthews over Chaney. Interesting.

  21. 21 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:09 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    interesting. wonder what it was? i would assume it was arriving late to a meeting or something like that

  22. 22 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:12 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    ahh they just mentioned it. he missed a meeting.

  23. 23 Corry Henry said at 1:07 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    The defensive line looks energized.

  24. 24 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:08 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    ugh. why is jason babin covering someone downfield?

  25. 25 Corry Henry said at 1:09 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    ugh…

  26. 26 SteveH said at 1:10 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    stupid penalty by babin, holding on 3rd and 10 on a 2 yard route. smh.

  27. 27 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:10 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Looks like the same team I’ve seen the last couple years.

    Pressure doesn’t get there when it counts. Awful on blitzes. Can’t make a play, even when it’s their to be made. And 3rd downs? Can’t get off the field at key moments.

  28. 28 lilmc said at 1:10 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Another 3rd down. Damn

  29. 29 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:11 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    looked like a lot of confusion there. the CB on that side was calling for something. i wonder if matthews was supposed to be on that side of the field since he was on the other side with no one to really cover.

  30. 30 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:11 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Atlanta 3 for 3 on 3rd downs. Does Andy fire Marty after this game? Looking like it wasn’t just Juan.

  31. 31 T_S_O_P said at 1:11 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Lots of seats in the Linc; is that the weather?

  32. 32 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:13 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    It’s the fact that fans realize this team is a failure and not worth supporting

  33. 33 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:12 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    4 for 4…on 3rd downs.

  34. 34 Corry Henry said at 1:13 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    they’ve had the ball for half the quarter almost. Incredible.

  35. 35 Corry Henry said at 1:13 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    This is way too easy for the Falcons. Way too easy.

  36. 36 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:14 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Think Juan is smiling a bit? I think Jeff should fire Reid at halftime. Put this team together. Put these coaches together.

  37. 37 lilmc said at 1:14 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I am tired of this movie. Same crap different week.

  38. 38 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:14 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    on that first down, matthews totally whiffed on giving TG a shot just past the LOS… free release…

  39. 39 Corry Henry said at 1:15 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Busted coverage. Wow.

  40. 40 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:15 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Sure look prepared to me.

  41. 41 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:15 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    so? we’re just not going to cover that guy? great job, guys.

  42. 42 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:16 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Third down D looks great so far…0-4. Blow coverages. The more they change the more they stay the same???

  43. 43 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:16 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    a couple of blown coverages, babin gives away a first down when he goes into coverage. not a good start for the D.

  44. 44 TommyLawlor said at 1:18 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Actually, we’ve got one of the best 3rd down defenses in the league. Not getting off the field in the 1st Qtr is a new problem.

  45. 45 iskar36 said at 1:16 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Pathetic

  46. 46 lilmc said at 1:16 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Coleman does not belong on the field.

  47. 47 T_S_O_P said at 1:16 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Blown!

  48. 48 Corry Henry said at 1:16 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    There’s a lot of fans dressed as empty seats today.

  49. 49 SteveH said at 1:17 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    babins idiot holding penalty cost us. Awesome.

  50. 50 TommyLawlor said at 1:17 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Crucial mistake.

  51. 51 T_S_O_P said at 1:18 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    As was dropping an INT

  52. 52 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:18 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    cox dropping a sure INT
    missed coverage on the next 3rd down
    blown coverage on the TD
    its going to be one of those days…

  53. 53 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:17 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Guys sure look like they know their jobs are on the line.

    Blow the team up – I don’t care what Tommy says, this group of coaches and players gave up.
    Everyone ready for the new and improved early game offense? My bet? 3 and out.

  54. 54 lilmc said at 1:18 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I agree. I am tired of this.

  55. 55 Scott Buchanan said at 1:17 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Wide open in the end zone…WOW

  56. 56 T_S_O_P said at 1:17 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    8 minute drive. Our D will need a breather, not a 3 n out.

  57. 57 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:18 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    This week early enough Tommy for next years coaching discussion? 3-4? with New Orleans next?

  58. 58 TommyLawlor said at 1:18 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    No. If you prefer to go elsewhere, feel free.

  59. 59 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:20 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Will do Mr. Glass is overflowing.

  60. 60 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:22 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    You can’t go Zach. I need someone around to make me look optimistic!

  61. 61 bdbd20 said at 1:18 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Let me make a wild and crazy guess that we’ll go 3 and out with no sighting of Shady.

  62. 62 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:19 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    So far Special Teams on a great start….returned to the 17. Explosive return game.

  63. 63 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:19 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    i feel like i’m taking crazy pills here. just take the touchback!!! lol

  64. 64 Steag209 said at 1:20 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Our KOR team is so freaking bad

  65. 65 lilmc said at 1:22 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Remember the days when we had a bad ass offensive line? I miss those days.

  66. 66 Corry Henry said at 1:23 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Y’know, in about a half hour, the sky will literally be falling in Philadelphia.

  67. 67 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:23 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    And there’s the 3 n out. Simple recipe for success against the Eagles. Blitz…

  68. 68 sonofdman said at 1:23 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    What is that? Are you really allowed to knock down the quarterback when he tries to pass? Why don’t we try that?

  69. 69 DamonL86 said at 1:23 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Not a good start on either side.

  70. 70 Ark87 said at 1:24 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    total yards…-3 hoo boy

  71. 71 T_S_O_P said at 1:24 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Utter pants!!!

  72. 72 Steag209 said at 1:24 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    This is gonna be a looooooong day

  73. 73 T_S_O_P said at 1:25 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    could be. maybe the D steal 7 here.

  74. 74 bdbd20 said at 1:25 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I guess Andy will fire Bowles on Tuesday.

  75. 75 Scott Buchanan said at 1:26 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Should Mudd be worried???

  76. 76 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:25 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    so much for that field position thing. ST gets the ball to the 17, offense goes 3 and out, actually losing yards. punt barely gets the ball to the other side of the field.
    hmmm. sounds like OT vs the Lions all over again!

    at least the ST coverage wasnt awful? i guess thats good, right?

  77. 77 ACViking said at 1:26 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    The problem today is if the Falcons put up 14 points before the rains come.

    I’m not seeing Vick as a bad-weather QB.

    McNabb was a very good *bad weather* QB.

    __________________

    T-Law . . . I’m wondering if the Eagles should kept McNabb. It might have speeded up the inevitable. Or not.

  78. 78 T_S_O_P said at 1:27 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    They are going to run to set up the pass. We will not

  79. 79 Corry Henry said at 1:28 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    This is ridiculous.

  80. 80 aerochrome2 said at 1:29 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Terrible

  81. 81 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:28 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Stupid bye week made me caution against taking the Falcons and the easy points… This team is mediocre at its core…

  82. 82 lilmc said at 1:30 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Hold and PI on the same play. Nice. Extend him now. This team is staring to make me hate Sundays.

  83. 83 ian_no_2 said at 1:30 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    If the ball was in the air longer, it would have given DRC a chance to commit 4 penalties instead of two instead of turning around like an NFL cornerback. But it’s all Juan Castillo’s fault.

  84. 84 Ark87 said at 1:30 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    feeling like a blow-out….I miss Juan….

  85. 85 aerochrome2 said at 1:31 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    yup

  86. 86 Andrew Hope said at 1:31 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    How many series since the defense got a stop?

  87. 87 aerochrome2 said at 1:31 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    How many since we had a turnover?

  88. 88 ACViking said at 1:31 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    DRC’s body language today seems like “D-Jax 2011”.

    Hope I’m wrong.

  89. 89 TommyLawlor said at 1:32 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    He’s off to a terrible start.

  90. 90 bdbd20 said at 1:31 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    This feels like the New England game from last year. They’re just better than us in all phases. Embarassing.

  91. 91 T_S_O_P said at 1:36 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    We were 10 nil up on the Pats. 3 n outed them on their first series. This doesn’t seem remotely close.

  92. 92 Mark Sitko said at 1:33 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Andy is not going to survive this year…wow…I didnt want to believe it was over but this is pathetic

  93. 93 T_S_O_P said at 1:34 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Are we the Lions?

  94. 94 DamonL86 said at 1:34 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Nothing has changed

  95. 95 Steven Milanowycz said at 1:34 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    13-1 after the bye

  96. 96 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:35 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    14-0 after the first. His can anyone stay optimistic with the garbage this team puts on the field every year

  97. 97 Scott Buchanan said at 1:35 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Put a fork in em

  98. 98 Mac said at 1:35 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Imho pentalty on babin was questionable same with kendricks. I think the refs have some $ riding on this one…

  99. 99 T_S_O_P said at 1:37 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I agree. They are getting the rub.

  100. 100 iskar36 said at 1:37 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Don’t mean to be rude, but you need to take the midnight green colored glasses. In both plays, the receiver was turned. Easy calls.

  101. 101 Mark Sitko said at 1:36 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Wait…was kendrixks. Pi within 5 yards

  102. 102 Jeppe Elmelund van Ee said at 1:36 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I just trew up a litlle in my mouth…

  103. 103 lilmc said at 1:36 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    This team really has a lot of heart and pride. Goodbye Andy!

  104. 104 bdbd20 said at 1:36 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    This team is a joke. Undisciplined. We will be the laughing stock of the league tomorrow. At least we’ll have a fresh start next season.

  105. 105 Ark87 said at 1:37 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    matt ryan could not have predicted how bad this defense would be

  106. 106 Steven Milanowycz said at 1:37 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    At a minimum, we can be glad the D is anti-cancer. They love the pink flags.

  107. 107 ACViking said at 1:38 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Hey . . . Jeff Lurie:

    Stanford University’s phone number is 650-723-2300.

    Call for David Shaw and schedule and interview.

  108. 108 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:38 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    hey! a nice KR! hooray!

  109. 109 Ark87 said at 1:40 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    ok 14-0 in the first quarter…shady is going to be doing some serious blocking today gents

  110. 110 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:44 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    hard to do when he’s not on the field.

  111. 111 ACViking said at 1:40 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Go back to the Kelly Green Uniforms next year . . . with the new coach.

  112. 112 ACViking said at 1:41 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Quick . . . when is the last time the Eagles came back from a 14-0 1st Q deficit?

    Anyone?

  113. 113 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:42 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    did i hear that right? we have 7 points in the first quarter ALL YEAR?!?!

  114. 114 aerochrome2 said at 1:44 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Sounds about right, no?

  115. 115 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:44 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    it sounds absolutely nuts, but i can’t think of many points in the 1st Q…

  116. 116 bdbd20 said at 1:42 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Gilyard’s injury shouldn’t hurt us as long as they don’t have to punt.

  117. 117 slammer said at 1:45 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I guess we don’t have to worry about giving up a 4th quarter lead today.

  118. 118 aerochrome2 said at 1:46 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Wooo a penalty on the other team

  119. 119 T_S_O_P said at 1:47 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    McCoy with + yards. At last!

  120. 120 aerochrome2 said at 1:47 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Field looks a mess to me… anyone else? Has it even rained yet?

  121. 121 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:47 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    keep sticking with the run! we’re moving the ball now!

  122. 122 ACViking said at 1:47 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    This game is not over.

    C’mon. A TD here and the Eagles are back in it.

  123. 123 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:48 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Odds they turn it over inside the 10???

  124. 124 aerochrome2 said at 1:49 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    If they do I blame you 🙂

  125. 125 aerochrome2 said at 1:50 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Hopefully the blown timeout appeases the gods

  126. 126 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:49 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    i was about to be pissed at them putting brown in the game when we got inside the 10. but after that run, i’m impressed. (and mccoy is getting worked on at the sideline too lol)

  127. 127 iskar36 said at 1:51 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    But Brown fumbled… We just got it back. No reason to be impressed

  128. 128 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:58 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    i guess that explains my worries! lol

  129. 129 iskar36 said at 1:50 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I do not trust brown in the redzone. With our turnover issue, I want nothing “creative”. Give it to your best players and have them win their battles.

  130. 130 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:50 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I actually really want a reason to be optimistic. I don’t want to give up on the year completely. Please score a td here.

    Sincerely,
    A Concered Fan

  131. 131 TommyLawlor said at 1:53 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    You got your TD. And on a Shady run.

  132. 132 slammer said at 1:52 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    let’s go get a TO

  134. 134 TommyLawlor said at 1:53 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Yep.

  135. 135 Ark87 said at 1:53 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    7-14, ran at asante, I’m very happy right now

  136. 136 ACViking said at 1:53 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    TD McCoy.

    The team is down 14 and 3-3 for the season.

    STOP THE STUPID DANCING!

  137. 137 A_T_G said at 1:53 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Asante misses the tackle The world has returned to balance

  138. 138 TommyLawlor said at 1:54 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    It’s the little things that keep us going.

  139. 139 ACViking said at 1:55 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    This game has “Shootout” written all over it.

    The Falcons put up 14 points playing perfect football — with some help by the Eagles’ penalties.

    The Eagles just scrapped together a tough drive.

    There’s still lots of time.

  140. 140 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:56 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    is anyone else having problems with Fox? my game keeps stuttering and the audio seems to switch or something. weird.

  141. 141 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:57 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    what in the hell happened on that play???? someone came through the line and had ryan dead to rights and just…. ran right past him? ugh. at least the penalty was on them!

  142. 142 TommyLawlor said at 2:01 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I actually started laughing. The inability to get to the QB has gotten ridiculous.

  143. 143 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:59 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    ………………..aaaaaand asomugha gets burned for a long TD. great.

  144. 144 Corry Henry said at 1:59 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Theyr’e just abusing our secondary.

  145. 145 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:59 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Nnamdi!!!! Every week he’s roasted.

  146. 146 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:00 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    i wouldnt say every week (could be wrong) but that was pretty bad..

  147. 147 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 2:04 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Last week he played well. I was being slightly hyperbolic, but the guy has given up more tds in a birds uni than he had “balls thrown at him” in 5 years in Oak.

  148. 148 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:05 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    lol got you.
    i think we can all agree that he is no where near the quality of player we thought we were getting.

  149. 149 Steven Milanowycz said at 1:59 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    is Juan still available?

  150. 150 iskar36 said at 2:00 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Can’t blame that one on a safety. That is all on Nnamdi. Pathetic

  151. 151 T_S_O_P said at 2:00 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Smoked Aso. Smoked.

  152. 152 TommyLawlor said at 2:01 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Big time.

  153. 153 bdbd20 said at 2:00 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Could it be that the defense actually got worse?

  154. 154 T_S_O_P said at 2:01 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    So far, for sure.

  155. 155 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:03 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    itll be hard to judge bowles after just one half, but its not looking good. i think we will have to give him a couple of games before we say the D got worse.

    can you imagine it, though? what if the D gets worse after Juan is fired…. it all falls on AR after that…

  156. 156 Andrew Hope said at 2:01 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    6 series and counting without a stop…

  157. 157 T_S_O_P said at 2:02 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    But our PR is injured so we are protecting that… mmm not sure on that!

  158. 158 iskar36 said at 2:01 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    … And this is why I was unwilling to immediately jump on the Bowles love.

  159. 159 GermanEagle said at 2:02 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    And if the Eagles lose today everyone will still blame Vick.

  160. 160 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:04 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    one 3 and out, one good drive that got 7 points…
    can’t find much to blame vick for in this game so far.
    and i’m not exactly a big supporter of his, either.

  161. 161 Scott Buchanan said at 2:02 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Did somebody say #24 was a shutdown corner? He’s been horrible in green

  162. 162 Crus57 said at 2:03 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Well, the rumour was that Bowles wanted to be less predictable. The D not really slowing down the Falcons was not something I would have predicted.

  163. 163 ACViking said at 2:03 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I don’t get why Nnamdi didn’t *punch* him at the line.

    I’m guessing he “thought” — you know, in his own mind — that he had safety help over the top.

    Ugh.

  164. 164 Ark87 said at 2:03 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Where’s Juan…he can’t be far away atleast our D was good in the first half with him…

  165. 165 T_S_O_P said at 2:03 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    We have only scored more than 20 twice.

  166. 166 nopain23 said at 2:04 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Tommy
    can you write the new HC thread???Let the Nick F era begin

  167. 167 ACViking said at 2:05 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I’ve posted Stanford U’s phone number.

    David Shaw . . . where are you?

  168. 168 ACViking said at 2:05 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    The Eagles Defense IS less predictable.

    Who could have predicted they’d be a complete sieve and worse than when Juan coached.

    Under Juan . . . the defense fell apart in the 4th Quarter.

    Now, the defense is bad from the start.

    I’d say no one would have predicted that.

  169. 169 GermanEagle said at 2:05 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Most overrated D Line in the NFL. Welcome to Philly.

  170. 170 ACViking said at 2:05 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    1981 all over again. Defensive line got old over night.

  171. 171 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 2:06 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Ryan is 12/13 for 3 tds. What a joke

  172. 172 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 2:07 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Goal here should be a 6 minute drive so ATL can’t score again!

  173. 173 ACViking said at 2:07 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    We’re quickly getting close to MM abandoning the run.

  174. 174 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:10 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    i’m wondering why we dont just spread the D and have vick run up the middle for 3-4 yards to get the first down.

  175. 175 iskar36 said at 2:17 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    You want Vick risking fumbling multiple times?

  176. 176 ACViking said at 2:10 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Re: Dennis Kelly

    I’m ready to say he’s already better than Danny Watkins.

    At least more consistent.

    Small sample set . . . yes.

  177. 177 TommyLawlor said at 2:11 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Dennis is off to a good start. Helps that we’re running and throwing short passes. Makes his job easier.

  178. 178 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:15 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    but then i have to ask: why do we run a different type of offense when watkins is in the game?

  179. 179 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 2:11 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    He clearly missed Maclin on the more shallow route on that play.

  180. 180 Eagles1991 said at 2:12 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Dennis Kelly is the highlight of this game!

  181. 181 ACViking said at 2:12 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Re: Falcons off the Bye under Mike Smith

    I believe Smith is 6-0.

  182. 182 Ark87 said at 2:15 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    going to need a game changing turn over go our way for us to have a shot at this one

  183. 183 Cal Setar said at 2:15 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I don’t know why, but for some reason I just can’t muster my usual anger. By now, in a game like this, 9 times out of 10 I’d be yelling and throwing things…but…I just don’t feel it. It’s not that I don’t care…I will always root for my Eagles. But there’s just…something missing.

    This development might be the most upsetting thing to me about the last couple of seasons.

  184. 184 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:17 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    i’m in the same boat. i think the problem is expectations.
    when you expect the team to play great football and they crap the bed, its frustrating. but when you expect them to make mistakes and play some pretty bad football, youre not getting anything new

  185. 185 GermanEagle said at 2:17 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Before the season I thought our 1st round pick will be O line next year. But after going 14 (!!!) quarters without a single bloody sack I have changed my mind now. And please don’t tell me it’s because of the opponents play calling!!!!

  186. 186 Steven Milanowycz said at 2:17 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    what does babin do right?

  187. 187 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:21 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    he has a good motor. lol

  188. 188 slammer said at 2:19 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Mock cheer for a Pass defended

  189. 189 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:19 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    wow, the stadium looks empty. i wonder how much of it is people worried about the storm.

  190. 190 slammer said at 2:21 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I think they are more worried about rebuilding this team. It is the end of the Reid era.

  191. 191 ACViking said at 2:20 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    T-Law:

    Have the Eagles even *hit* Matt Ryan today?

  192. 192 lilmc said at 2:20 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    That is the ballgame and Andy’s job. Sorry to be such a downer today. This team just makes me so frustrated.

  193. 193 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:23 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    ryan manages to get past the LOS. no sack.
    someone went for the ball instead of trying to get him down for the sack. (landri?)
    can’t really blame him for it in hindsight. the TO would have been huge.

  194. 194 T_S_O_P said at 2:23 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    At last.

  195. 195 Ark87 said at 2:24 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Kendricks *almost* had a pick…but didn’t …story of the season.

  196. 196 GermanEagle said at 2:25 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Any chance we can draft the honey badger next year?! Lynch just said the Eagles are not smoking any cigars today. With the Honey we might be able to smoke some weed…

  197. 197 TommyLawlor said at 2:27 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    He would help in the smoking department.

  198. 198 DarthBanner said at 2:25 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    And the Eagles continue to prove what a bad football team they are. Can we fire Andy yet?

  199. 199 Cal Setar said at 2:25 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Vick and Jackson yucking it up on the sideline down 24-7. Maybe that’s why I’m feel so apathetic.

  200. 200 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:26 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    even the booing from the stands sounds apathetic.

  201. 201 TommyLawlor said at 2:27 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    That’s not a good sign.

  202. 202 lilmc said at 2:26 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    I noticed the same thing, It is like the fans care more than them. I do not like many people on this team.

  203. 203 ACViking said at 2:26 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    Sideline shot of Vick laughing with D-Jax.

    That’s not going to play well on the evening news.

  204. 204 Corry Henry said at 2:26 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    At this point, I’m not even mad.

  205. 205 T_S_O_P said at 2:27 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    2-weeks to get that D plan together. Sucks!!!

  206. 206 ACViking said at 2:28 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    T-Law:

    This has been an overall but-whooping by the Falcons.

    Atlanta came to Philadelphia to show that their 6-0 record was no mirage.

    I think they’ve done that.

    The Eagles? Not sure what’s going on there.

  207. 207 ACViking said at 2:30 PM on October 28th, 2012:

    We might see Nick Foles.

    Why else would Vick be laughing?
