Dallas, Philly Both Suck – 2nd Half Thread

Posted: November 11th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 361 Comments »

Vick has a concussion.  He’s out and the Nick Foles Era has begun.

Nick is 3 of 5 for 18 yards.  I like what I’m seeing from him.  He looks the part.  Some guys are spastic and jittery.  Nick is calm.  Took a big hit from Ware and got right up.  Made one bad throw, when he went to the right side for the third play in a row.  Dallas DB jumped the route and should have picked it off.  Got lucky there.  Can’t throw to the same spot over and over.

The end of the half was a clusterfudge.  Andy Reid was smart not to call a timeout prior to the Dallas punt.  We were going to get the ball deep in our territory.  With a backup OL and rookie QB, no reason to be aggressive.  We should have lined up and run the ball from the I-formation 3 straight times.  That would have ended the half.  No harm, no foul.

For some idiotic reason, we lined up in the shotgun and Dallas was firing off the edges.  1st down was an ugly run.  Dallas was offside so that wiped it out.  On 1st/5 we lined up shotgun and tried to run wide.  No gain.  2nd down we line up shotgun and throw to Havili in the right flat.  He stupidly runs out of bounds.  Dumb by him, but dumb by the coaches to put him in that spot.  Run up the fricking middle.  It isn’t rocket science. 3rd down was a short run.  We then punted.  Dallas just took a knee.

Any of the shotgun snaps could have been an issue.  Shady getting hit in the backfield could have been a problem.  Throwing the ball was dumb.  There’s no upside.  Just run the damn ball up the middle.  Thankfully Dallas didn’t make a play or block the unnecessary punt.

Dumb football.

Good news is 2 sacks and regular pressure on Romo.  That was good to see.

We’re down 10-7.  Should be interesting to see what happens.

    funny how much better the D looks when the line gets pressure.

    Good defense?

    Pressure on the QB?

    You know, if we had this earlier…

    I don’t know why we don’t see Desean returning more punts!

    What team is that out there with the green jerseys getting all the sacks?

  9. 9 BC1968 said at 6:06 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Dallas is making our pass rush look the way our defensive makes other teams’ rushing attacks look.

    Would you still bench him? 😉 Maybe he does not suck 😉

    holding? Not pass interference? The ball was in the air…

  26. 26 Iskar36 said at 6:09 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Looked like PI to me as well. He was grabbing Cooper the entire time, including while the ball was in the air.

    Agreed.

    I love Maclin!

    qb controversy in 3… 2… 1…

  47. 47 BC1968 said at 6:11 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Tommy, the blitz pickup, AWESOME

  48. 48 BC1968 said at 6:12 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That’s the only reason that play happens.

  49. 49 lilmc said at 6:12 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That’s why Dion Lewis does not play.

  50. 50 TommyLawlor said at 6:12 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Yep. Gotta block the blitz to burn it.

  51. 51 NoDecaf said at 6:12 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    America, fuck yeah!

  52. 52 Iskar36 said at 6:12 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I love that Foles got the TD, but I would like to see when Maclin got open vs. when Foles threw the pass. Seems to me that Foles was likely late with that throw considering Mac brought it down like it was a punt. Of course, that’s nit picking, but I think it is valuable in terms of evaluating Foles as the future QB.

  53. 53 shah8 said at 6:13 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    mostly a little late, but a bit too rainbow.

  54. 54 Iskar36 said at 6:14 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    True. Still, either way I am happy he moved away from the blitz and did find the open man.

  55. 55 Corry Henry said at 6:13 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Right now, Vick is in the locker room wondering why they can’t block the blitz like that for him…also probably wondering what year it is and where he is, but I digress.

  56. 56 PK_NZ said at 6:35 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    They don’t block for Vick because he gets happy feet and starts running around… With Foles the O-Line knows the spot he’s going to be and can take proper angles…

  57. 57 BC1968 said at 6:14 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Did anyone else see that guy’s ass?

  58. 58 NoDecaf said at 6:15 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Wait, what?

  59. 59 ACViking said at 6:15 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Re: TD to Maclin

    Does Vick scamble on that play? Who knows.

    Foles — IMHO — has better pocket awareness than MV. Maybe because he’s slow.

    But that kind of *patience* and *sliding around the pocket* is what makes for a successful passing game.
    ______________

    Maclin . . . that was for what.

    Seriously, if you’re gonna get hit anyway, catch the damn ball

  60. 60 Iskar36 said at 6:16 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Based on the preseason and so far in this game, I do think Foles has better pocket awareness. Part of that is because Foles seems to recognize where the pressure is coming from, and part of that is Vick simply does not.

  61. 61 BC1968 said at 6:18 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Hey may not have been alive for the TD pass he had went full speed into that ball. For life, that’s what. lol

  62. 62 shah8 said at 6:18 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Not enough actual reps to tell, man. I can say that Vick would have hit that throw. He usually does, like djax last week.

  63. 63 Corry Henry said at 6:16 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    3 and out would be awesome right now.

  64. 64 Crus57 said at 6:18 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    The #1 thing I’ve liked about DeMeco Ryans is that when he tackles people they don’t keep moving forward gaining yards, so even if he tackles someone 1yd short of the sticks there’s a good chance they won’t make it.

  65. 65 Felix said at 6:19 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Somehow I have a good feeling about this one….

  66. 66 shah8 said at 6:19 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Me too. We don’t have to be fancy

  67. 67 A_T_G said at 6:20 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I’m getting one too’ which wopens me up to being crushed.”.

  68. 68 bdbd20 said at 6:21 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Really like the fact that Foles is not afraid to throw to a covered receiver. I thought Vick waited too many times for the guy to come open.

  69. 69 BC1968 said at 6:22 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I wish they would run out of an I formation SOMETIMES

  70. 70 Iskar36 said at 6:23 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Ok, as much as I want to see Foles, what happened to the run game? Can we get a few runs at some point?

  71. 71 Baloophi said at 6:23 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Don’t you remember? Short pass = run in this offense…

  72. 72 Iskar36 said at 6:24 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    There we go!

  73. 73 Baloophi said at 6:25 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    There we go again!

  74. 74 Baloophi said at 6:24 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Maclin close to a “taunting” penalty on that…

  75. 75 A_T_G said at 6:25 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Close to taunting = the perfect amount of taunting vs Dallas.

  76. 76 Baloophi said at 6:26 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Very nice…

  77. 77 Corry Henry said at 6:25 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That was an interstate for McCoy.

  78. 78 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 6:25 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    This team is finally fired up. Playing like they know they can win

  79. 79 Iskar36 said at 6:25 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I hate to jump to conclusions, but does any one else notice that Foles doesn’t seem to be constantly under pressure behind this Oline. Who knows, maybe someone other than Vick CAN survive behind this line.

  80. 80 nicolajNN said at 6:29 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    It does seem that way, I think it’s a matter of players finally stepping up

  81. 81 shah8 said at 6:30 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Dallas is being very conservative in calling blitzes. And of course, one of those blitzed failed spectacularly. The OL is still H O R R I B L E.

  82. 82 Baloophi said at 6:26 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    King Dunlap with the tackle…

  83. 83 Eric Carranza said at 6:26 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    saw that

  84. 84 Iskar36 said at 6:27 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Whoa, a Johnson sighting!

  85. 85 lilmc said at 6:27 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Damn King

  86. 86 Iskar36 said at 6:28 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That Dunlap penalty wiped out a great play by Foles and Johnson there.

  87. 87 TommyLawlor said at 6:29 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Yep.

  88. 88 bdbd20 said at 6:28 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Good playcalling. Take the 3

  89. 89 Iskar36 said at 6:28 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Haha. We apparently completely disagree.

  90. 90 bdbd20 said at 6:30 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    With a tested veteran, I would agree with you. Nick’s confidence is good right now. Ware can get a strip-sack-TD at any moment. Take the 7 point and let the kid walk off the field thinking he did some good things.

  91. 91 shah8 said at 6:30 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Agreed.

  92. 92 Khidr9 said at 6:32 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Give him the positive out. And we’re still up a td now.

  93. 93 Khidr9 said at 6:29 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    couldn’t disagree more. You have the fg shot either way, take one more shot down the field.

  94. 94 Iskar36 said at 6:28 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Not a fan of that call at all.

  95. 95 TommyLawlor said at 6:29 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I don’t mind at all. Dallas rushed 3, dropped 8 into coverage. Chance for INT with that many guys out there.

  96. 96 Iskar36 said at 6:30 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Even if you run though, might as well use McCoy on that play to give you a better chance. Running Brown on that play is both riskier and a give up play.

  97. 97 TommyLawlor said at 6:34 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I’ll give my opinion on that after the game. Too long for here, now.

  98. 98 Iskar36 said at 6:35 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That’s fair. I just think at this point in the season, you need to at the very least use your best players when you are that close to the endzone.

  99. 99 Corry Henry said at 6:28 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    we seriously have to lead the league in awesome plays negated by bonehead penalties.

  100. 100 Corry Henry said at 6:29 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    REALLY?! COME ON!

  101. 101 Baloophi said at 6:29 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Not a great series for King there. Tackles Maclin on a WR screen, hands to the face negates first down, forgets to come out for FG attempt, costing team a timeout.

  102. 102 A_T_G said at 6:30 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    When you make Bell into the second worse OT on the field, you are having a bad day.

  103. 103 Baloophi said at 6:30 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Tweet it!

  104. 104 A_T_G said at 6:30 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Take it, I don’t tweet.

  105. 105 Baloophi said at 6:31 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Nor do I… seems way too addictive.

  106. 106 TommyLawlor said at 6:33 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I just tweeted it out.

  107. 107 SleepingDuck said at 6:30 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I’m personally fine with that run call on 3rd down.. just take the 3

  108. 108 BC1968 said at 6:32 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Yeah you need 15, you could throw a pick, agreed.

  109. 109 bdbd20 said at 6:33 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Pick-6 by Nate Allen would feel really good right now.

  110. 110 BC1968 said at 6:35 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Anyone else see Babin’s jersey being pulled down?

  111. 111 ACViking said at 6:36 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Seems like the Cowboys expected the Eagles to play the way they have the past 4 weeks.

    Not this time, Special Agent Utah

  112. 112 Iskar36 said at 6:37 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    WOW. Got to get that sck

  113. 113 Baloophi said at 6:38 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Ugh. Just… ugh.

  114. 114 Corry Henry said at 6:37 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    They should have had him twice on that one.

  115. 115 eagles2zc said at 6:37 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Can’t even tackle a QB smh

  116. 116 Eric Carranza said at 6:37 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    i swear i saw a hold and a block in the back there

  117. 117 bdbd20 said at 6:39 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Great play there by Romo. Can’t blame D-line too much there. Tough for those big guys to start and stop.

  118. 118 Baloophi said at 6:39 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    No catch. Also, not PI.

  119. 119 TommyLawlor said at 6:40 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Agreed. How do you call that?

  120. 120 bdbd20 said at 6:40 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Wish I had confidence in the D. TD here either way.

  121. 121 Baloophi said at 6:40 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    There’s always a chance Romo does something stupid.

  122. 122 Corry Henry said at 6:40 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    yeah….that’s not a good call. They’re both going for the ball there.

  123. 123 GermanEagle said at 6:40 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I knew the eagles would find a way to lose…

  124. 124 Baloophi said at 6:41 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Uh oh… Mike Pereira thinks it wasn’t a catch… so it probably is…

  125. 125 TommyLawlor said at 6:41 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Kiss of death.

  126. 126 Eric Carranza said at 6:42 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    and there it is smh

  127. 127 BC1968 said at 6:41 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Pass Interference? Are you f-ing kidding me?

  128. 128 BC1968 said at 6:42 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Wow wtf, cheating blatantly.

  129. 129 nicolajNN said at 6:44 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Because of the bullshit PI call I don’t really mind the play standing, I don’t think we would hold Dallas from scoring a TD with 1st and goal from the one

  130. 130 Corry Henry said at 6:42 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    This guy must have been calling the Nebraska-PSU game too.

  131. 131 BC1968 said at 6:42 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Lost a timeout.

  132. 132 Corry Henry said at 6:43 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That wasn’t a Reid challenge.

  133. 133 bdbd20 said at 6:43 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    No. Scoring plays are automatically reviewed.

  134. 134 lilmc said at 6:43 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    No. It was a booth review.

  135. 135 Iskar36 said at 6:43 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Wait, what?! How can that possibly stand?

  136. 136 Baloophi said at 6:44 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the referee sounds like Ross Perot.

    Bowles lightening up on the blitzes . . . and Romo getting time.

    Seems that way, at least.

  138. 138 eagles2zc said at 6:45 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Tackling, Eagles don’t know how to do it

  139. 139 SteveH said at 6:44 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Fuck, defense had Romo dead to rights the previous 3rd down too. Need to finish these plays.

  140. 140 Toby_yboT said at 6:44 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That was an amazing play by DRC

  141. 141 Khidr9 said at 6:45 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Agreed, in the real world, he saved a td.

  142. 142 Baloophi said at 6:45 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    We got a kickoff return beyond the 20! Repeat: We got a kickoff return beyond the 20!

  143. 143 Iskar36 said at 6:46 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Wow. That was a terrible decision by Foles.

  144. 144 Baloophi said at 6:46 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Reprieve much?

  145. 145 Corry Henry said at 6:46 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    wow, Claiborne just bailed out Foles.

  146. 146 bdbd20 said at 6:47 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Poor decision, but I’ve heard QB’s say that they will throw at DL’s all day because chances are they won’t catch.

  147. 147 Corry Henry said at 6:47 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Please don’t be hurt Mathis…

  148. 148 Baloophi said at 6:48 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Mathis gimpy… not good. Tell Mudd to suit up!

  149. 149 Corry Henry said at 6:49 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That was a really ugly series.

  150. 150 ACViking said at 6:49 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Ok . . . two bad pases by Foles. Bailed out twice.

  151. 151 Iskar36 said at 6:50 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    The first one as god awful, but that second one I didn’t really have an issue with. Thrown to the sideline and the only person who could possibly have made a clean catch was the WR, not the defender.

  152. 152 ACViking said at 6:53 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    No . . . the dropped INT on his first series.

    Then Spencer’s INT.

  153. 153 Iskar36 said at 6:54 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Oh, got it. Yea I agree with that.

  154. 154 Baloophi said at 6:49 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Bobby April… your thoughts?

  155. 155 TommyLawlor said at 6:50 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That is crushing.

  156. 156 bdbd20 said at 6:50 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Eugene Chung will get fired for that ST crap.

  157. 157 eagles2zc said at 6:50 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Eagles is trying to suck in all three phases of the game

  158. 158 Baloophi said at 6:50 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    And when did the Predator start returning punts?

  159. 159 Corry Henry said at 6:51 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That was just a soul crushing return right there.

  160. 160 Toby_yboT said at 6:51 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Meh… pick 6, punt return TD, same difference

  161. 161 Baloophi said at 6:52 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    It’s like “Final Destination” for football.

  162. 162 Iskar36 said at 6:51 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Our STs are terrible

  163. 163 PK_NZ said at 6:51 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Well… at least we get to see more Foles…

  164. 164 ACViking said at 6:52 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Yeah . . . that Chas Henry really needs to go.

    Oh, that was McBriar?! Hmmm.

  165. 165 Toby_yboT said at 6:53 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Rocca makes that tackle..

  166. 166 Eric Carranza said at 6:54 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    rocca forces a fumble

  167. 167 Toby_yboT said at 6:57 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Rocca takes his raggedy head off.

  168. 168 ACViking said at 6:54 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    So do most place kickers . . .

  169. 169 lilmc said at 6:52 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Am I only one who saw a block in the back?

  170. 170 A_T_G said at 6:52 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Just one?

  171. 171 Corry Henry said at 6:52 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    This team isn’t mentally tough enough to make a comeback at this point.

  172. 172 Baloophi said at 6:54 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Nice hustle Dunlap. Well, there goes what was left of the season.

  173. 173 Toby_yboT said at 6:54 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    oops.

  174. 174 Toby_yboT said at 6:56 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Jackson looked pissed.

  175. 175 lilmc said at 6:55 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    King just gave up on trying to make tackle. Cut him.

  176. 176 Baloophi said at 6:55 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    This just in, we’re losing by 14 to the Dallas Cowboys.

  177. 177 TommyLawlor said at 6:56 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Not good.

    Good news is that we might stick with Foles. Important to see what he can do.

  178. 178 Baloophi said at 6:57 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Right… we could get the nebulous “Vick needs to rest for another week” – so Reid wouldn’t have to officially wave the white flag just yet.

  179. 179 shah8 said at 6:57 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    fingers in ears LALALALALALALALALALALALALALA!!! Best recovery to Vick! Come back soon!

  180. 180 A_T_G said at 6:57 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Also good, their offense is going to be cold and stiff if they ever get back on the field.

  181. 181 Felix said at 6:55 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    This feels like the 05 cowboys game

  182. 182 shah8 said at 6:56 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    GGGGRRRRRRrrrrrr…

    This is why I get annoyed at the Foles people. He’s not talented enough to just play, like Russell Wilson, RG3, or Luck. And a bad pass kills us!

  183. 183 BC1968 said at 6:57 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    The other guy is just as bad, and has been around for a lot longer. Stop defending Vick, it’s over for him.

  184. 184 Eric Carranza said at 6:57 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    actually to me it looked like carr pushed desean before he got to the ball

  185. 185 TommyLawlor said at 6:57 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That pass was 12 to 18 inches off target, in the first game of his career. Don’t be silly.

  186. 186 Khidr9 said at 6:58 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    This. Considering he hasn’t even been getting a fraction of snaps at practice, in a very high pressure game, he’s doing remarkably well.

  187. 187 A_T_G said at 7:00 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    And Jackson had his hands on it, twice.

  188. 188 Iskar36 said at 7:02 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I don’t know if you are arguing otherwise, but even though Jackson got his hands on it, that INT was on Foles.

  189. 189 shah8 said at 7:06 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    It’s not just that pass. He’s thrown a number a really bad ideas today, with two at least for the Grace of God go I passes. And I’m pretty sure I’m the one not silly.

  190. 190 Iskar36 said at 6:59 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Foles still has a ton of progress to make, there is no question about that, but Vick has played awful all season. One guy is a rookie, the other is a seasoned vet.

  191. 191 BC1968 said at 7:59 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Deja Vu? lol

  192. 192 Corry Henry said at 6:56 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Aaaand that’s the season.

  193. 193 bdbd20 said at 6:57 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    At this point, AR may be hoping to get fired.

  194. 194 ACViking said at 6:58 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Regular Season Game Speed . . . Foles missed by half a step.

  195. 195 TommyLawlor said at 6:58 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Key is for Foles to concentrate on 1st downs. Move the chains, good things will happen.

  196. 196 Iskar36 said at 7:00 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Eek. Amazing catch. Poor throw though.

  197. 197 ACViking said at 7:01 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Re: Foles

    Regular season game speed.
    No practice with 1st team.

    He’s doing pretty well

  198. 198 Khidr9 said at 7:01 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    +1

  199. 199 lilmc said at 7:01 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Please cut Dunlap tonight.

  200. 200 A_T_G said at 7:02 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Can we just go to three down linemen on offense?

  201. 201 Crus57 said at 7:02 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    can we change Dunlap’s number to 1st&20?

  202. 202 TommyLawlor said at 7:03 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    He’s been a penalty machine today.

  203. 203 SteveH said at 7:04 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Goddamnit, what the fuck, bad enough we got our rookie QB out there we got King Dunlap shitting all over the field.

  204. 204 Khidr9 said at 7:05 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    It would be nice if our remaining linesman could just have a quiet night.

  205. 205 lilmc said at 7:04 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Screw you Joe Buck. Your punk ass does not get to call the end of anyone’e tenure.

  206. 206 Baloophi said at 7:05 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Especially when you’re about a year late to the party.

  207. 207 lilmc said at 7:07 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I just hate him more than any other announcer.

    More than Joe Theismann?

  209. 209 lilmc said at 7:08 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Yep. Theiseman is just a moron, Buck is a pompous jackass.

  210. 210 Baloophi said at 7:11 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I hear that. Plus one.

  211. 211 ACViking said at 7:05 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Air going out of Eagles

  212. 212 Baloophi said at 7:06 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Yeah… this is like when a doctor is manically doing chest compressions and another doctor has to pull him off the patient.

  213. 213 Khidr9 said at 7:11 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    “He’s gone doctor, He’s gone.”

  214. 214 bdbd20 said at 7:06 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    This game changed on that 3rd down where Romo did his escape. Hopefully we IR Vick and let Foles make his mistakes in this lost season.

  215. 215 eagles2zc said at 7:08 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Yep this season is over. Might as well give Foles some first team prep time

  216. 216 Toby_yboT said at 7:07 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    We need a play out of our defense. Come one D, sometimes you have to help out the young QB

  217. 217 TommyLawlor said at 7:09 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    They owe us a big play. Or 2.

  218. 218 DamonL86 said at 7:08 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I don’t even know what to say about this team anymore

  219. 219 Baloophi said at 7:10 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    All is not lost: there’s a new “Homeland” tonight.

  220. 220 Corry Henry said at 7:10 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Walking Dead for me.

  221. 221 eagles2zc said at 7:11 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    And Dexter

  222. 222 Baloophi said at 7:11 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    And “Walking Dead.”

  223. 223 eagles2zc said at 7:12 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    And Good Wife. Yea, I said it

  224. 224 Toby_yboT said at 7:13 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    put desean back there

  225. 225 Baloophi said at 7:13 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Damaris “Fair Catch” Johnson with the fair catch.

  226. 226 Brett Smith said at 7:14 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Good night. I hate the Cowboys… can’t believe they are going to win.

    Bobby April should be fired. Todd Bowles is not an upgrade. Good luck in San Diego Reid. At one point I thought you were the answer.

    Grrr…..

  227. 227 ACViking said at 7:15 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Foles hasn’t thrown a pass in anger since late August.

    All in all, he’s done okay.

    That said, we’ve gotten to see how important a *serious* commitment to the running game is.

    Teams just do not take the Eagles seriously about running. They know, at some point, MM will just dial it down.

  228. 228 shah8 said at 7:16 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Not really okay. This is mostly like Kirk Cousins after RG3 went down. One nice play, and then hell.

  229. 229 ACViking said at 7:19 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Not even the Redskins are as bad up front as the Birds

  230. 230 Corry Henry said at 7:19 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I would agree with Foles doing OK. Kid hasn’t had practice time and came in cold off the bench with no running game to speak of.

    Definitely needs to improve of course.

  231. 231 bdbd20 said at 7:15 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I see Foles has been watching film of Eli.

  232. 232 Doctor Claw said at 9:10 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    At least someone else sees it. Today reminded me more of “Bad Eli” than anyone else.

  233. 233 Baloophi said at 7:15 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That throw was insane.

  234. 234 shah8 said at 7:15 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    no kidding

  235. 235 Toby_yboT said at 7:16 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    sometimes it pays to be a little crazy

  236. 236 A_T_G said at 7:17 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    It looked a lot like Vick’s pick in the back of the endzone.

  237. 237 Baloophi said at 7:16 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Over/Under on Super Bowls Reid wins with the Chargers: 3

  238. 238 eagles2zc said at 7:17 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Under, but he just might win 1

  239. 239 Iskar36 said at 7:16 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Not a fan of that throw despite it being completed. Way to risky of a throw.

  240. 240 ACViking said at 7:17 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Twice in a row dunlap has gotten away with offsides…lol

  242. 242 BC1968 said at 7:18 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    false start

  243. 243 Khidr9 said at 7:20 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Maybe this isn’t fair, but it feels like this team doesn’t hustle when they need to (i.e. two scores in -4:00).

  244. 244 Baloophi said at 7:20 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    There’s Demetress Bell!

  245. 245 lilmc said at 7:20 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Ole Bell!!!

  246. 246 BC1968 said at 7:21 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    How does he not score on that play? Why did he dive?

  247. 247 Eric Carranza said at 7:21 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    cuz he’s a rookie

  248. 248 John Ormond said at 7:22 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    or at least get out of bounds!!!

  249. 249 BC1968 said at 7:22 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    yep

  250. 250 Baloophi said at 7:22 PM on November 11th, 2012:

  252. 252 Baloophi said at 7:21 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Why am I yelling at them to hurry up when this game is over??? What’s wrong with me?

  253. 253 Khidr9 said at 7:22 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I’m right there with you. Because you’d feel better to see them really hoofing it like they believed they still had a shot.

  254. 254 BC1968 said at 7:22 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    They needed to score before the two minute warning. Thanks to Dunlap there aren’t enough timeouts.

  255. 255 BC1968 said at 7:25 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    there isn’t

  256. 256 TommyLawlor said at 7:23 PM on November 11th, 2012:

  257. 257 A_T_G said at 7:23 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Alcohol helps.

  258. 258 lilmc said at 7:24 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Because we are Eagle fans. No matter how cynical we are, deep down we always want them to win!

  259. 259 Mike Roman said at 7:23 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    The damn rollout inside the 10 hasn’t worked in an f’n decade! This is why you’ll be unemployed soon. Try the shovel pass from split back set next. Nobody is waiting for that either.

  260. 260 DamonL86 said at 7:24 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    That sums up the season with that xp

  261. 261 Baloophi said at 7:25 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I just called that! I told my wife – “how about a missed PAT”. Unbelievable.

  262. 262 A_T_G said at 7:30 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Wait, your wife pays attention to the game? And you are talking to us?

  266. 266 Steag209 said at 7:25 PM on November 11th, 2012:

  269. 269 Iskar36 said at 7:26 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Quality drive led by Foles there. Got lucky on that one pass to Maclin, but still led the rest of the drive very well.

  270. 270 lilmc said at 7:26 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    The last 2 kicks were great. Yep. It was all Akers fault.

  281. 281 Iskar36 said at 7:27 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Was the confusion on the onsides kick intentional or are our STs really that inept? It’s amazing how terrible they are at times.

  282. 282 A_T_G said at 7:27 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Who is that Witten guy with the onsides kick recovery. Keep making plays like that on special teams and he might make a name for himself.

  283. 283 Baloophi said at 7:28 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    He’s one to keep an eye on for sure.

  284. 284 Crus57 said at 7:29 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    When was the last time we scored more than 20? How times change.

    I was hoping Moorman would Matt Dodge that punt.

  287. 287 Baloophi said at 7:31 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Why put Desean back there now… and not earlier in the 4th?

    Cut Bell please. Bell should be off this team sooner rather than later

  293. 293 Baloophi said at 7:33 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I think, when we look back at this season years from now, the biggest mystery will be how we ever won 3 games.

  294. 294 Crus57 said at 7:33 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Close ones, too.

  297. 297 SteveH said at 7:33 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Why did we onside kick there?! The fuck? We cost ourselves 30 yards of field position with that shit.

  298. 298 Baloophi said at 7:34 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    It was simultaneously a slap in the face of our defense and our offense.

  299. 299 DanJ3645 said at 7:35 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    worth a go. Foles with 1 minute no timeout vs ~2mins and 2 timeouts.

  302. 302 Toby_yboT said at 7:35 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    call me crazy, but I’d like to see Foles take it down the field here.

  303. 303 Khidr9 said at 7:36 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    good practice if nothing else.

  304. 304 Baloophi said at 7:36 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    There are plenty of seats available at the game for you to do so.

  305. 305 eagles2zc said at 7:36 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Got to keep fighting

  306. 306 ACViking said at 7:36 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    It took a while, but the Eagles O-line — along with Special Teams — proved the team’s undoing.

  307. 307 Baloophi said at 7:37 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Also the coaching. And the lack of tackling.

  308. 308 ACViking said at 7:38 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    no argument.

  309. 309 Brett Smith said at 7:44 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Agreed. OLine and ST killed us. Wow. I hate the Cowboys…

    No Excuses. If your season sucks you have to beat the Cowboys.

  310. 310 Khidr9 said at 7:38 PM on November 11th, 2012:

  311. 311 Toby_yboT said at 7:38 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    that was amusing.

  312. 312 Baloophi said at 7:38 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Well. That was some crap. Looking like we’ll have a high draft pick… to waste.

  313. 313 Eric Carranza said at 7:39 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    we could use it for an OT to protect Foles next season

  314. 314 Mac said at 7:38 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    The book is out on dunlap. Loose chinstraps the rest of the season…

  315. 315 Baloophi said at 7:39 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I do feel bad in the sense that his height makes it hard not to be punching at head-level…

  316. 316 eagles2zc said at 7:39 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Marty out did himself with that playcalling

  317. 317 ACViking said at 7:40 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Seems that in a game like this — with your rookie QB who’s taken no snaps w/ the 1st team all year now in the game — the O.C. would want to *shorten* the game.

    That is, run the ball more.

  318. 318 Baloophi said at 7:42 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I think Desean was trying to do that on the third-to-last play by not going out of bounds… but Foles spiked the ball, allowing for Marty’s inanity.

  319. 319 Iskar36 said at 7:41 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Foles still has a ton of improving to do, but I do hope he continues to play this season. 22/32 for 220 yards and 1 td is not a bad start. The 1 INT and 1 fumble (plus he had 2 other bad throws) were troublesome but frankly, I would rather a rookie make those mistakes than a seasoned veteran.

  320. 320 Khidr9 said at 7:44 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Absolutely. It’s all about context. Those mistakes are forgivable in his situation, not Vick’s.

  321. 321 shah8 said at 7:53 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Oh, I’m grading on that curve. But you know? It’s not just the mistakes. It’s how much help he needs from everyone else to do his job. It’s way more than what’s good for someone who can honestly start.

  322. 322 Doctor Claw said at 9:14 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Considering some of the other rookies this year I really don’t even think these excuses hold up. Some of those throws he made out there were rather troubling… and would have been met with apoplectic rage were it Vick who made the same decisions.

    but… yeah, he gets rid of the ball faster, so… wheeeeeeeee!

    O-Line still sucks, Andy and Marty are calling weird plays at random points of the game… defense not helping enough.

    FFWD to 2013 already.

  323. 323 shah8 said at 7:44 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I wouldn’t.

    **shudders**

    There wasn’t any + plays by Foles (as the main big-timer), and plenty of minuses.

  324. 324 Iskar36 said at 8:00 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Your Vick bias is unbelievable. Foles did throw a TD, he did lead another TD drive (and basically did everything but score the TD on that drive), also had another scoring drive that without a dumb Dunlap penalty, would have resulted in a huge play to Johnson that was created largely by Foles’ ability to escape the pocket and then make a good throw on the run. In other words, In 2.5 QTRs, Foles led this offense to 17 points, exactly what Vick has been averaging per game throughout the season. On top of alll of that, Vick is a veteran who is not going to improve, Foles is a guy coming in for his first game ever and learning on the fly. Foles is only going to improve.

    I’m not arguing that Foles is some stud QB, but Vick has been awful all season and there is no reason to keep him back there when the season is over and you have a promising rookie who played at a decent level, and arguably a very comparable level to Vick.

  325. 325 eagles2zc said at 7:47 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    For someone with no prep time, Foles did pretty well

  326. 326 Corry Henry said at 8:05 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    The kid did OK. Coming in cold with probably no practice time with the ones you can’t really expect him to be outstanding. Next week will be an important game for him. He should get all the practice time with the 1s. Obviously, we need to see him improve.

  327. 327 ACViking said at 7:42 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Re: Rest of Schedule / Season

    I think there’s a serious question whether this team can win another game.

    You’d think they will. But, jeez, who knows.

  328. 328 Baloophi said at 7:44 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Right. Well, this will be the proverbial “give up on the coach” conundrum. Some guys will play for jobs elsewhere, but I can’t imagine anyone giving max effort… especially since they didn’t seem to tonight in what was a make-or-break game.

  329. 329 eagles2zc said at 7:43 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Only reason for me to watch rest of the season is to see whether Foles is good enough to start and who should be back next year.

    Eagles really took all the offseason hype and crapped all over it

  330. 330 BC1968 said at 7:44 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Best thing I’ve heard in the last hour: Didinger: “The Cowboys are going to be talking about how they are back in this thing, but they’re not, they’re terrible too.” LOL

  331. 331 BC1968 said at 7:45 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Something that made me feel better in the last hour is what I meant to say.

  332. 332 BC1968 said at 7:46 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Did anyone other than me notice how many times Dunlap gotta away with a tenth of a second jumping offsides without being called? I saw three.

  333. 333 BC1968 said at 7:47 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    10-6 is still a possibility guys.

  334. 334 eagles2zc said at 7:49 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I can’t imagine that with this team. This was a total team collapse

  335. 335 BC1968 said at 7:51 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Neither can I…lol…but hey, what the frig am I going to talk about at Thanksgiving?

  336. 336 Baloophi said at 7:53 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I think you will watch the Redskins shut-out the Cowboys and talk about how on earth we managed to lose to such a terrible team.

  337. 337 BC1968 said at 7:48 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I remember in 2006 I told my bro in law they weren’t going to lose another game after going 4-5 and Mcnabb getting hurt. After losing one more to the Colts they didn’t lose. Feel good stat of the day.

  338. 338 BC1968 said at 7:49 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    K guys, times yours, I’ve said enough.

  339. 339 Baloophi said at 7:49 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Remember when a sliver of hope was restored with the Havili touchdown, and then Henery blew the PAT? Classic.

  340. 340 BC1968 said at 7:51 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Andy Reid just took responsibility

  341. 341 TommyLawlor said at 7:53 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Really?

  342. 342 BC1968 said at 8:03 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Dead serious dude.

  343. 343 Baloophi said at 7:51 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Akers is imploding in OT in Sanny Franny… guess you can take the guy out of the Eagles, but can’t take the Eagles out of him…

  344. 344 TommyLawlor said at 7:53 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Just saw the kick. Hate that for him, but I am cheering for STL.

  345. 345 Baloophi said at 7:54 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Did you see that penalty on the 80 yard Amendola pass? Crushing…

  346. 346 BC1968 said at 7:53 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Second year in a row the year is over in early November. I remember Super Bowl year we wrapped home field by Thanksgiving. Happy times.

  347. 347 eagles2zc said at 7:56 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    And then TO turns into a crazy person the season after

  348. 348 BC1968 said at 8:03 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Tommy a few things I want you to look for when you rewatch the game please. Dunlap, among all the stupid things he did, appears to get away with 3 false starts, I mean a tenth of a second before the ball is snap.

    Also, was there a guy blocked in the back on the Dallas punt return? Or was he blocked in the side. I told my g/f that was coming back I was so sure of it, thought I saw it again on the replay.

    Tony Romo getting out of that sack, the td catch that wasn’t, and it would’ve been a pass interference that wasn’t. I’m not whining, Eagles lost and they deserved to, just wondering what you saw.

  349. 349 eagles2zc said at 8:04 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Cox (I think) whiffed on an arm tackle of Romo and the rest is history

  350. 350 BC1968 said at 8:07 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Someone else also missed him on that play, I’m pretty sure. Gotta get me one of them VCR’s so I can record these games. LOL

  351. 351 Baloophi said at 8:08 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Cole and Cox missed on the first wave, Babin missed on the second.

  352. 352 BC1968 said at 8:37 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    There was a couple of waves..lol

  353. 353 Wilbert M. said at 10:18 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    What the heck was Dunlap doing on the pick-six? How in God’s name wasn’t he able to get his huge frame in front of Brandon Carr and stop the TD?? I know it doesn’t matter, but what a pathetic lack of effort.

  354. 354 Baloophi said at 8:07 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    This is the lowest I’ve felt as an Eagles’ fan in recent memory. (SB loss was a different low.)

    The specter of a new regime is equal parts exciting, equal parts depressing. Cross your fingers that Lurie doesn’t blow it…

  355. 355 TommyLawlor said at 8:15 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I’m actually not that depressed. If Vick had played the whole game and we lost like this…yes. Getting Foles in made things feel very different.

  356. 356 SteveH said at 9:51 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    I still think its depressing because of how we lost. Letting Romo escape the easy sack, that leads to a TD drive, followed by a punt return TD, followed by a caromed off a players knee int TD. Those were like body blows.

  357. 357 BobSmith77 said at 10:25 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Felt the same way. Eagles’ offense was scuffling along when Vick got knocked out. Some good, some bad from Foles but it was interesting for a change of pace nevertheless.

  358. 358 Flyin said at 9:42 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Is any one really surprised?

  359. 359 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:04 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    what a disappointing way to go down. The team had finally started playing with some fight only to have special teams followed by an incredibly unlucky bounce crush them. They were by no means good, but the defense played with grit for a while, McCoy ran well, Foles was pretty good from coming in out nowhere and they still get crushed by 20….

    Foles looks very poised as a rookie. The looks the part of QB. That’s encouraging. Really only made 2 bad throws, the prayer that Mac caught and the int to spencer that was called back. The ball to mac that was almost picked and throw to avant were because of a slip on the sloppy field, not poor throw or decision making. He did throw two slants slightly behind a receiver, but they were catchable.

    Interesting how little pressure he seemed to be under despite running almost exclusively from 3 and 4 WR sets…

  360. 360 Wilbert M. said at 10:11 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    Challenges for the Next Eagles Head Coach-

    The next Eagles head coach faces tough challenges. I’ll try to list them in order of importance:

    1) Burn heart and passion into this team. It currently has none. The next Eagles head coach needs to be a combination of Vince Lombardi and Ray Lewis.

    2) Figure out who are football players and who are imposters. I’ll try to give a head start. Nnamdi and DRC are imposters.

    3) Figure out whose talent level has been overrated. Here’s another head start. Babin, Celek, Allen.

    4) Try to figure out why these guys are on the team. Dunlap, Bell, Matthews, Polk, Hunt, Tapp and several others.

    5) Burn true leadership into Jackson, McCoy, Cox and Kendricks if possible (not just BS). They are your nucleus. Figure out why DeMeco Ryans’ leadership hasn’t taken.

    6) Don’t expect special teamers to be starters. See Coleman, Jordan, Sims, etc.

    7) Hold your special teams coach and players accountable. Special teams is man on man. Watch the films and see who is not getting the job done. HINT – if your special teams are among the leagues worst in consecutive years under the same coach, that is a big part of the issue.

    8) Find a QB. Another HINT – it’s not Vick. Maybe it’s Foles, maybe not, but have solid options that can run a basic offense and not lose games. HINT – Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer won Super Bowls.

    9) Learn from the past. It’s hard to understand how a team that went into a season with its OL and DL as its strengths foundered so badly in both areas. Blaming injuries on the OL is easy, but why was there no depth when cap space wasn’t an issue? Why did we have 5 RB’s and 12 DL’s?

    10) Be OK with cutting out the cancer. This team has to take a step back to move forward. Players like Nnamdi, DRC, Dunlap and Bell have to go. It’s better to have lesser talents giving full efforts than these guys punching the time clock.

    As a former under-skilled athlete that competed at a fairly high level, I can identify dogs fairly easily. This Eagles team has too many dogs. I can see it. So do former Eagles like Trotter, Westbrook and Reese as well as others like Teddy Bruschi and more. The Eagles are like a bad NBA team playing out the string. You cannot succeed in the NFL without heart and passion. The next head coach needs to bring it.

  361. 361 BobSmith77 said at 10:17 PM on November 11th, 2012:

    This was some of the most inept/pathetic OL displays by both teams that I could remember in a game. Maybe not the 2 worst OLs right now in the NFL but probably bottom 5.

    Interested to watch Foles/RG III showdown but that about all there is look forward to next week.
