PHI at WAS – 1st Half Thread

Posted: November 18th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 144 Comments »

Folesmania launches today.  Should be fun to watch.  At least, I’m hoping it is.

Here are the inactives:

QB Mike Vick
RB Chris Polk
WR Mardy Gilyard
WR Jason Avant
OL Nate Menkin

DE Phillip Hunt
DE Vinny Curry

Bold prediction for the day…Damaris Johnson delivers a big play on offense.

Let’s go win a game, please.  That will allow me to update  Bob Griffin’s nickname to RG3and7.  The little things keep me sane in a crappy year like this.

    I think we can, I think we can, I think we can, I think we can…

  2. 2 T_S_O_P said at 12:59 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    We have a live broadcast and a happy camper, I’m sure my Eagles an’t spoil that.

  3. 3 Corry Henry said at 1:03 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    …wait, why is Bryce Brown returning kicks and not Boykin?

  4. 4 Corry Henry said at 1:06 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    The only thing that makes that more annoying is that it was Deangelo Hall who made the pick. I HATE that guy.

  5. 5 T_S_O_P said at 1:06 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    On Celek

  6. 6 shah8 said at 1:07 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    that sort of pass has always had to be rifled in.

  7. 7 SteveH said at 1:08 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    WHAT THE FUCK CELEK!? Fletcher didn’t even touch it!

  8. 8 eagles2zc said at 1:08 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    WOW, did Lurie piss off some higher power or what? Can’t make this stuff up

  9. 9 TommyLawlor said at 1:09 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    This is not the start I had envisioned.

  10. 10 SteveH said at 1:08 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Annnnnd Nate Allen gets badly burned by play action. Lovely.

  11. 11 TommyLawlor said at 1:08 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Not good.

  12. 12 SteveH said at 1:08 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Holy shit I cannot even believe it, Foles credited with the interception but that was ALL on Celek. Can’t believe this.

  13. 13 DamonL86 said at 1:09 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Hello top 5 pick

  14. 14 SteveH said at 1:09 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    You have got to be kidding me! Celek with the stone hands! Now people gonna point to Foles stat line like he had an interception, jesus christ.

  15. 15 Corry Henry said at 1:09 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Good to see the whole team stepping up to help out the Rookie.

  16. 16 Corry Henry said at 1:11 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Receivers need to get credited with INTs. That wasn’t on Foles.

  17. 17 T_S_O_P said at 1:11 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Let’s see the next 15 scripted plays

  18. 18 Corry Henry said at 1:12 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Trading penalties to start.

  19. 19 ACViking said at 1:13 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    So Foles threw a prefect pass that Celek turned into an INT. Unfortunate.

    Encapsulates the entire season.

  20. 20 shah8 said at 1:13 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    OL horrendus on that run

  21. 21 Corry Henry said at 1:15 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    I will say that Foles is making some quick decisions, and so far pretty good decisions.

  22. 22 SteveH said at 1:16 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    I like how Foles not rattled at all. Young kid getting burned by his own guys and staying cool. Very good.

  23. 23 ACViking said at 1:17 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Foles spent 2 years living this same nightmare at AZ.

  24. 24 TommyLawlor said at 1:16 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Converted on first 3rd down. That was good to see.

  25. 25 T_S_O_P said at 1:17 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    did it well too

  26. 26 BC1968 said at 1:16 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Nice to get some first downs here at least

  27. 27 shah8 said at 1:17 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Anyways, there have been a number of Celek bounces that have turned into TOs. I view this as an indictment about WR size. Meal tickets should not be so thoroughly dependent on the middle of the field like that, and when it’s *short*, that pass *has* to be rifled in.

  28. 28 ToastJenkins said at 1:18 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    great audible on the blitz recognition by the kid

  29. 29 BC1968 said at 1:19 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Beautiful to Cooper

  30. 30 ACViking said at 1:19 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Last year, against these Redskins (I think), Celek made an incredible circus catch after tipping the ball up and then laying on his back.

    I thought the gods would be with us after that.

    Not to be.

  31. 31 shah8 said at 1:19 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Credit Mathis for that great WR screen.

  32. 32 ToastJenkins said at 1:20 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    i guess Mathis changed the playcall?

  33. 33 shah8 said at 1:20 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    No, that was kelly from the other side of the field!

  34. 34 Corry Henry said at 1:19 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Good play by Foles called back by a penalty. Sounds like a broken record.

  35. 35 T_S_O_P said at 1:20 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    great coversion, great effort by #14 and #18

  36. 36 BC1968 said at 1:20 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Mistakes have to be expected with this line

  37. 37 ACViking said at 1:21 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    You have to like Foles.

    You don’t have to like anyone on the Eagles O-Line.

    The O-line has been a failure from Roseman to Reid to Mudd to the players.

  38. 38 ACViking said at 1:21 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Great that we have Jake Scott.

    2 penalties in the first Q.

    OMG!!!!

  39. 39 BC1968 said at 1:22 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Get to fg range at least

  40. 40 ToastJenkins said at 1:22 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    now that one is on Foles

  41. 41 shah8 said at 1:22 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    le sigh

  42. 42 Khidr9 said at 1:22 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    2 for 2. This is such an exhausting team.

  43. 43 Corry Henry said at 1:22 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Yeah…I’d like to say it’s on the receiver this time but…

  44. 44 SteveH said at 1:23 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Yeah that one all foles lol.

  45. 45 TommyLawlor said at 1:25 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Got greedy. Must be smarter than that. Punting is okay.

  46. 46 Aleandro green said at 1:24 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    i think ive seen this before….

  47. 47 BC1968 said at 1:24 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Easy to blitz against andy and marty, I could game plan against this team

  48. 48 SleepingDuck said at 1:24 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    With the first overall pick in the 2013 draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select….

  49. 49 GermanEagle said at 1:25 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    worst eagles team since 1999

  50. 50 eagles2zc said at 2:12 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    We have been too spoiled by the Reid era sans last two years. I really hope the next HC is a hit or Eagles will be in for some lean times

  51. 51 ACViking said at 1:25 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Pressure . . . not sacks . . . is what creates TOs. The Eagles have neither on defense. And no pass-pro on offense.

    A-gap blitzes. Killing the team the entire season.

    Well, I’ve seen enough.

    T-Law, I look forward to your DGR.

  52. 52 ToastJenkins said at 1:25 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    its just like Vick is still running the offense…

  53. 53 Corry Henry said at 1:25 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    (*&%&*$%^*(&*&(%^*#&*()*&)^&*%^$%^*$&*^(*()(

  54. 54 shah8 said at 1:26 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Good defensive stand!

  55. 55 T_S_O_P said at 1:28 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    except the 3rd down, that was a gift

  56. 56 TommyLawlor said at 1:40 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Skins run that stuff quite a bit.

  57. 57 T_S_O_P said at 1:27 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Wow, Kyle with an Eagle-esque 3rd down call

  58. 58 Crus57 said at 1:30 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    It’s kinda sad that no matter if we’re punting or receiving a punt the other team are the first ones to the ball

  59. 59 ACViking said at 1:30 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Has Foles had time to set up in the pocket on ANY pass play in the 1st two series?

    I don’t think so.

    C’mon!!!

    [T-Law . . . it’s like watching a car wreck. I can’t look away.]

  60. 60 BC1968 said at 1:32 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Max protect

  61. 61 Corry Henry said at 1:32 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Good chemistry between Foles and Cooper.

  62. 62 ToastJenkins said at 1:33 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    the penalties on the OL so far have been punt-the-TV brutal

  63. 63 Corry Henry said at 1:33 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Look on the bright side King, at least it wasn’t a hands to the face.

  64. 64 ToastJenkins said at 1:34 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Foles looks like a crafty vet throwing screens

  65. 65 ConcussedFB said at 1:34 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    King Dunlap has a future as a strip club bouncer.

  66. 66 BC1968 said at 1:34 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Way to combat the blitz, for a change

  67. 67 BC1968 said at 1:36 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    They are actually going forward?

  68. 68 Corry Henry said at 1:36 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    It’s sad that I keep looking for flags every time they get a positive play.

  69. 69 BC1968 said at 1:38 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Yep, same here, or a fumble. Been that kind of year

  70. 70 kaninfaan said at 1:38 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    On the subject of nicknames…

    “Pick” Foles?

  71. 71 TommyLawlor said at 1:39 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    No.

  72. 72 kaninfaan said at 2:28 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    I hope youre right. I try to be funny when Im nervous. It’s always a trainwreck. Sorry….

  73. 73 Kristopher Cebula said at 1:39 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    tommy,
    it seems that the eagles game plan today is to run the ball mixed in with short passes and play action. Do you think that vick can be successful in this game plan and if so, why have they not been doing this before? i

  74. 74 TommyLawlor said at 1:40 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Love to see the screen game working. Eagles have come up with a couple of wrinkles and they’re working well. Getting the ball to Shady with room to run is always a good thing.

  75. 75 SleepingDuck said at 1:40 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Even though Foles has thrown 2 picks, I’m still encouraged by the fact that we can move the ball on offense and keep RG3and6 on the sideline.

  76. 76 Corry Henry said at 1:42 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Two guys blew blocks on that WR screen.

  77. 77 GermanEagle said at 1:44 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Geno. Smith.

  78. 78 Corry Henry said at 1:48 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    I understand you want another quarterback, but I don’t think Geno is the answer. When he’s on, he’s amazing, but when he’s off, holy crap he’s waaaaaaay off.

  79. 79 ToastJenkins said at 1:48 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    worst. idea. ever.

  80. 80 shah8 said at 1:47 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Redskins offense looks terrible

  81. 81 shah8 said at 1:49 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    only thing good about it is RG3

  82. 82 ToastJenkins said at 1:49 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    contain Kendricks….dammit

  83. 83 SteveH said at 1:49 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Ugh, outside in Kendricks…

  84. 84 GermanEagle said at 1:50 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    O. Verrated

  85. 85 TommyLawlor said at 1:51 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    I just went on a screaming rant about that. So, so depressing. Should have been a simple play.

  86. 86 Corry Henry said at 1:50 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    They just can’t finish the play can they?

  87. 87 T_S_O_P said at 1:51 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Don’t they love to slobber over Griffin. My gosh, it’s like Starship 7 allover

  88. 88 Crus57 said at 1:52 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    You must remember how nauseating all the fawning over Vick was in the mid 00’s, this is just part 2 of that.

  89. 89 ACViking said at 1:51 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Tom Brennaman is about to propose marriage to RG-III.

    I guess I’m spoiled after Randall, D-Mac, and Vick.

  90. 90 ToastJenkins said at 1:53 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    why dont we just take the effin safties off the field….results would be equivalent

  91. 91 shah8 said at 1:53 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    /me stews

  92. 92 Corry Henry said at 1:53 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Nnamdi Asomugha.

  93. 93 John Ormond said at 1:55 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Oh eagles….

  94. 94 eagles2zc said at 1:55 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    What…just…happened? NA too slow? Blown coverage?

  95. 95 Crus57 said at 1:56 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Both of the above I think. Time to watch the Formula 1.

  96. 96 ACViking said at 1:57 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    If you want to see a car wreck don’t change the channel

  97. 97 BlindChow said at 1:57 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Soft zone?

  98. 98 GermanEagle said at 1:56 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    What happened to Landri?! Did you disown your son, Tommmy?!

  99. 99 TommyLawlor said at 2:08 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Down year. I think he’s been affected by a knee injury, but disappointing.

  100. 100 NoDecaf said at 1:57 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Please stay tuned for our funniest pun contest immediately following the game.

  101. 101 shah8 said at 1:57 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    I’ve been more and more impressed by BBrown

  102. 102 ian_no_2 said at 1:58 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Aldrick Robinson is a speedster who isn’t that good, so putting him on a post route with Nmandi is a smart move, especially when the safety help is AWOL.

  103. 103 onemorebop said at 1:58 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Looks like Nate Allen got caught cheating up, no?

  104. 104 SteveH said at 1:59 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    I like this Bryce brown.

  105. 105 Corry Henry said at 1:59 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Thanks Maclin.

  106. 106 shah8 said at 2:00 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Foles had to make that throw

  107. 107 shah8 said at 2:02 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    eeek that was a worse play than I thought on the sack!

  108. 108 Corry Henry said at 2:01 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    This team is a dumpster fire.

  109. 109 SteveH said at 2:02 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Lol, banks with another fumble, I’ll bet jimmy bama is going nuts.

  110. 110 TommyLawlor said at 2:07 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Banks is a fumble machine, but the Skins lose very few of them.

  111. 111 Kristopher Cebula said at 2:02 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    bryce brown having a good day on offense and as KR. running hard

  112. 112 GermanEagle said at 2:02 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Is #67 who ripped Vick publicly?!

  113. 113 TommyLawlor said at 2:07 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Yes. However, he said the comments were pieced together to sound worse than he intended.

  114. 114 Corry Henry said at 2:10 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Is it just me or are we playing out of the shotgun a lot?

  115. 115 ToastJenkins said at 2:10 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    does that count as your big play from Demaris, Tommy?

  116. 116 SteveH said at 2:11 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Lol love these announcers, Kurt Kurrman and Demarius Johnson.

  117. 117 ToastJenkins said at 2:12 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    can we please get a real TE in the offseason….

  118. 118 SteveH said at 2:12 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Jesus Celek…

  119. 119 eagles2zc said at 2:14 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    He’s having a drop-tisic season

  120. 120 Iskar36 said at 2:13 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Brent celek is having a horrible season.

  121. 121 Corry Henry said at 2:13 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Good lord. Celek is one of my favorite players, but c’mon man.

  122. 122 NoDecaf said at 2:14 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    I didn’t know he was Latino…

  123. 123 The Synth Lord said at 2:14 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Celek has become a drop machine – how many tips/drops has he had this season? Who tracks this? ESPN? Stats Inc?

  124. 124 GermanEagle said at 2:15 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    3 points against this D in the first half?! And you were tacking the mickeys out of Vick?!

  125. 125 eagles2zc said at 2:18 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Using alot of zone coverage today

  126. 126 TommyLawlor said at 2:20 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    You need to vs RG3. That way if he runs the DBs will be looking at him. In man, DBs turn their back and can be badly burned by a running QB.

  127. 127 eagles2zc said at 2:22 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Ahh I see. Was wondering about the changeup

  128. 128 ToastJenkins said at 2:19 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    DRC even misses on going for the headshot….

  129. 129 Corry Henry said at 2:20 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    3 stinkin’ points. Face. Palm.

  130. 130 ToastJenkins said at 2:21 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    you gotta be effin kidding me….

  131. 131 GermanEagle said at 2:21 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Exactly for this reason. I am glad AR will be gone!

  132. 132 SteveH said at 2:21 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Lol just take a knee Andy.

  133. 133 shah8 said at 2:21 PM on November 18th, 2012:

  134. 134 Corry Henry said at 2:21 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    HOLY SHIT! REALLY?! REALLY?! TAKE A GODDAMN KNEE IF YOU’RE JUST GOING TO QUIT ON THE HALF FAT MAN!

  135. 135 GermanEagle said at 2:22 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    hHahanahanahhanahahajajajjaana

  136. 136 ToastJenkins said at 2:23 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    sooooo…3-13 will get us what? like the 4th pick?

  137. 137 GermanEagle said at 2:25 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    At least Geno Smith.

  138. 138 ToastJenkins said at 2:24 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    this is the sloppiest team i’ve ever seen….

  139. 139 GermanEagle said at 2:24 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    This game is over. Thanks for another wasted Sunday.

  140. 140 Corry Henry said at 2:24 PM on November 18th, 2012:

    Bobby April looks like a man who realizes he’s going to get fired.
