Backups everywhere. Go Eagles.

SAFETy
DamonL86

Jets making our backups look good
ICDogg

youch
Corry

Jarrett and Ricky Sapp? That’s more plays than they ever made for the Birds.
GermanEagle

Eagles making the Jets backups look good.
ICDogg

sucktastic
Corry

Nate Allen couldn’t get off the WR block there….not that I really expected him to be able to actually stop a RB with a full head of steam.
- Anders
  
  He got off it, but still got blocked while trying to tackle him. The DL on the other hand got man handled.
  - GEagle
    
    Excuse
ICDogg

I guess the Wildcat is not dead
GermanEagle

Dixon is gone.
- ICDogg
  
  Yeah, I think that was a foregone conclusion before the game started
ICDogg

Well, so far, Foles has been able to bounce back after a turnover and score a TD on the next series… let’s see if he can continue that
- Andy124
  
  damn you jinxed it.
  - ICDogg
    
    heh… maybe
    - Flyin
      
      Maybe he will throw deep for a TD.
ICDogg

Isn’t that what Vick was getting blasted for?
- GEagle
  
  Inexcusable…
- Anders
  
  yep, but Foles is not Vick so nobody is blasting him
- Corry
  
  Yep, but there’s only about 7 of us watching the game.
Andy124

Well, that wasn’t a smart play.
GEagle

Foles better stop watching Vick play…are any WR getting open?
dislikedisqus

It’s like I’m watching the Jadeveon Clowney Bowl. These two teams are playing like 0-16 is in their future.
TommyLawlor

Rough start for Nick Foles so far. The OL isn’t giving him ideal protection, but Nick is also holding the ball too long.
- GEagle
  
  Are WR getting open?
GermanEagle

two terrible drives for Foles…
- TommyLawlor
  
  Whole offense struggling. No room to run. Not sure if guys are getting open.
  - GermanEagle
    
    Agreed.
  - GEagle
    
    Yeah that’s what I’m trying to figure out…Foles eyes seem down field, not sure if guys are open or not
- dislikedisqus
  
  Is it a drive if you don’t go anywhere?
Andy124

That was Allen going for the ball and missing wasn’t it?
- Corry
  
  yep.
  - GermanEagle
    
    Unbelievable. Lol
- Anders
  
  Safety covering a WR.
  - GEagle
    
    You are like a walking excuse for Nate Allen lol…is he your long lost son or something?…
    - Anders
      
      No, but tell me how many safeties can cover a WR?
      - GEagle
        
        Hahaha if your cover safet can’t gaurd a WR, please tell me wtf exactly can Nate do?
      - GermanEagle
        
        I have to agree with GEagle here..
      - Anders
        
        Again tell me how many safeties in the NFL can cover a WR alone?
      - GermanEagle
        
        Again, Nate Allen sucks.
      - Anders
        
        Nice answer, but you still didnt answer my original questions. If you blast Allen for not sticking with a shifty WR, then you need to tell me who can.
      - GEagle
        
        Wasn’t Chung just being worked out as a Nickle corner? Lol you know, under consideration for a role that asks an average safety to defend starting WRs? Lol
      - GEagle
        
        Despise him!!!
      - Anders
        
        Can we make a deal? Nobody here mentions Allen again? We all know you will bash him for what ever crazy reason and you know I will reply and tell you to learn about coverage.
      - GEagle
        
        No, I don’t accept your deal!! The bum will get called out til I start getting my second round moneys worth lol…sorry..
        ..
        I don’t negotiate with terrorists lol
        ..
        But my beloved Foles is stinking it up if that makes you feel bettet
ICDogg

nice throw
GEagle

McCoy blasted him!!
Corry

Man, that’s like 2012 too…we knock the ball loose and it bounces right to the opposing team.
- Andy124
  
  Complete with no blocking and a turnover.
GermanEagle

If McCoy didn’t have hands of stone he’d be in the hall of fame.
Corry

It’s cool that we’re trying to help Matt Simms land a job, but seriously…stop it.
ICDogg

OK… I’m calling the next play… Shepard end-around
- ICDogg
  
  oh well, it was worth a shot
ICDogg

Will that be it for Foles tonight?
- GEagle
  
  Better not be…keep him out there til he gets going, although the Oline isn’t holding up and we will need him soon lol
  - ICDogg
    
    I’d get him out of there. Most important thing tonight is not to get anyone hurt who matters.
    - GEagle
      
      Hard to argue against that
Crus57

Getting sick of ex-Eagles beating up current Eagles. Guess this might be a Giants preview.
GermanEagle

I guess we’re getting a better feeling how Foles reacts under pressure..
GEagle

hey Nate Allen didn’t give up a pass! How about that
GermanEagle

nice play by Allen. Can I mention him now, Anders?!
aub32

How about that Rex Ryan getting JJ to tackle the opposing team
- Anders
  
  Rex Ryan > Castillo as DC 😛
  - TheRogerPodacter
    
    so…… Juan Castillo for head coach!!!! : P
Corry

Foles isn’t playing well, but holy crap his receivers aren’t helping him.
- aub32
  
  Foles isn’t helping them either with throws that are behind them.
  - Corry
    
    The offense is an all around shit show.
    - aub32
      
      except for Brown
GEagle

Clay harbor and Ertz can’t do that Crap…Can’t put that drive on foles
ICDogg

Can’t blame Foles for that drive
Dragon_Eagle

Pre-season MVP: Donnie Jones
ICDogg

good pressure
GermanEagle

foles doesn’t look calm at all.
Flyin

Looked like clay missed block on 2nd down and drops pass on 3rd.
- GermanEagle
  
  It was not a good throw though.
  - ICDogg
    
    no, but should have been caught
    - GermanEagle
      
      Agreed. If you can touch it, you can….
      - Andy124
        
        That’s a stupid saying. But I think we all agree. Throw wasn’t great, but it should have been caught.
      - GEagle
        
        That’s always been my motto with the ladies
  - Flyin
    
    The lack of not blocking anyone was pitiful, he wasn’t looking to block.
aub32

the bad vs the worse
- Crus57
  
  Isn’t that every Preseason Game 4 ever?
  - ICDogg
    
    pretty much.
- GEagle
  
  There is some good going on…mcCoy bouncing back from a bad game
GermanEagle

if Acho doesn’t make the team I will be gutted!
- ICDogg
  
  I think he will
- Anders
  
  I say McCoy and Acho is making this team
- GEagle
  
  I will be gutted? Were the hell does a German fan learn that type of slang? Impressive!! Lol
  - GermanEagle
    
    Living 6 years in England I guess. 😉
ICDogg

Casey = hamstring will not return
Andy124

Here we go.
- ICDogg
  
  (Dog arrives with Bud Lite)
  - Andy124
    
    I wish.
- Andy124
  
  nevermind.
Anders

Can we please just play Polk and Tucker instead of Brown.
DamonL86

Don’t see any bubble players on offense stepping up so far
- GermanEagle
  
  It’s because the whole offense is in a bubble!
GermanEagle

that was Ertz’s 10th drop this off season.
- Anders
  
  He should be forced to use the JUGs machine 100 times per day.
  - ICDogg
    
    Why not… Avant does and he’s got good hands
ICDogg

Kurt Coleman took out his legs
- Corry
  
  It was a good tackle from the replays.
  - ICDogg
    
    yep
- TommyLawlor
  
  The Enforcer.
Corry

48 is such a weird number for a linebacker…
- TommyLawlor
  
  It really is.
ICDogg

Poyer with the strip
- Corry
  
  Are we allowed to recover fumbles like that? I haven’t seen it in so long i thought they changed the rules.
  - Dragon_Eagle
    
    Recover is OK, but the refs clearly missed something there. No way Eagles DBs are allowed to cause turnovers. Nuh uh.
- TommyLawlor
  
  He’s come on the last couple of games.
  - Flyin
    
    Any chance he makes the 53?
    - Anders
      
      He is the 4th best healthy CB
ICDogg

The Maehlman
DamonL86

Momah just made the team i think
- GermanEagle
  
  Are you serious?!
  - DamonL86
    
    Lol no
    - GermanEagle
      
      Pew. Lol
  - Crus57
    
    I think it was a joke based on the fact that he actually caught a pass.
    - TheRogerPodacter
      
      i missed the first half and i’m going through the thread now and i’m like “MOMAH CAUGHT A PASS?! WHAT?!” LOL
GEagle

The turnovers will come boys!!
Corry

What I’ve learned from tonight’s game is that if we had Rex Ryan as a DC our last 2 or 3 Andy Reid drafts probably wouldn’t have sucked as bad.
GEagle

St nick is heating up
aub32

what Foles had a ball tipped at the line…but…but…he’s 6’6″ and the fly swatters….how could that happen
ICDogg

JJ looking like a player
Crus57

One thing the fast tempo will mean is that challenge flags (theirs and ours) will have to come out really quickly.
aub32

Baldy just echoed every Eagles’ fans sentiments about JJ
- Dragon_Eagle
  
  Missed it. What did say?
  - ICDogg
    
    he made more plays tonight than he did his entire time with the Eagles
    - TommyLawlor
      
      The Wide-9 did JaiJar no favors.
    - Dragon_Eagle
      
      I suppose it helps to have competent defensive coaches and put in a system that works for your skill set.
    - GEagle
      
      watch him get cut and end up back with us, only to stink again lol
      - aub32
        
        HA!
  - aub32
    
    JJ has made more plays in this game than he ever did as an eagle
GEagle

How about them turnovers!!
- Flyin
  
  Ha! I’m on a 5-10 second delay on NFL prelive
  - GEagle
    
    Maybe I’m just psychic
    - Flyin
      
      I am psychic, so I would know.
      - GEagle
        
        Lol touche
DamonL86

can foles hold the ball any longer
- Corry
  
  his receivers aren’t helping him. He does still look awful though.
  - Anders
    
    The RB was open
    - GEagle
      
      So was Nate Allen’s man…..:) sorry, had to do it.
GEagle

Looks like having your college coach isn’t going to save Casey with Acho and Knott balling
Dragon_Eagle

I think we should punt here. I just want to watch our defense.
Corry

Our WR depth is sorry.
- aub32
  
  that’s what happens when two guys who should start tear their ACL
  - Corry
    
    I’m not sure about Benn since he’s never really done much in the league, but yeah, losing Maclin hurts a lot. I was also hoping for someone down the depth chart to actually look decent against the Jets backups but…
    - Anders
      
      The Jets have good depth on coverage guys
      - Corry
        
        I don’t know much about the Jets so I’ll take your word for it.
DamonL86

we cut the lead in half
GermanEagle

this is the worst Foles I have seen in Eagles green so far. Ever.
aub32

Should have traded Foles yesterday. His value is plummeting
- TommyLawlor
  
  Dude, don’t be silly. Ugly game. Poor play all around. Doesn’t mean anything in the grand scheme. Anyone really studying the game will see the struggles of the blockers and skill players.
  - ICDogg
    
    I don’t think he was serious
  - aub32
    
    I’m kidding Tommy. Foles isn’t there yet in my opinion, but I think he has a chance if he can gain the confidence to throw the ball down the field. I didn’t think anyone would take that remark seriously.
    - TommyLawlor
      
      My apologies.
      - aub32
        
        No prob. I guess I should have been a little more obvious.
GEagle

That’s how you play NT…lovin Benny
GEagle

Anders…did you just hear what Baldi just said about safeties and how they have to cover WR?
- Anders
  
  I know they have to cover them, but the WR got the clear advantages.
DamonL86

Lindley should be gone
GEagle

Liked what I saw out of Krugs….want to see more
Crus57

Oh look, Dixon is on the floor on a key running play.
- GEagle
  
  Dude is like a British prostitute…always flailing around on his back
  - Crus57
    
    Other country’s prostitutes don’t end up on their backs?
    - Corry
      
      maybe they don’t flail around?
    - GEagle
      
      It’s a joke we always use with Mma fighters, thought it was a well known joke..guess not
  - Jay Austin
    
    I was more curious about your expertise…
    What corners of London do we need to visit when the Eagles eventually make the trip to Wembley…
    - Crus57
      
      I am kinda dreading when the Eagles come to Wembley, because there’s no way I am missing that, but I doubt it will be cheap.
      - GEagle
        
        Always wanted to see David Icke there…that Crackpot is a must see lol….Waiting for Bisping vs. Anderson Silva in wembly but that would be the arena
    - GEagle
      
      lol…sorry, haven’t been to lOndon since I was 12, I didn’t become a world wide prostition connoisseur til I turned 14
Corry

Jake Knott is a player. if he gets more consistent he could be one hell of a UDFA find.
Anders

What a weak call
- Flyin
  
  Yeah, total BS! Ref must of had a bad angle.
- aub32
  
  What you mean this is football. You can’t hit the QB
Crus57

Colt was in midair when the QB threw.. good luck changing direction then.
- Anders
  
  His helm slighty touches the QBs helm, so he got flagged. But I have yet to see a holding and the Jets OTs are really holding
Ben Hert

Tremendously awful call.
ICDogg

E. Brown showing something
- Corry
  
  He seems like a bit of a one trick pony though. He’s good at that one trick but still…
- Crus57
  
  Great body control from him to arc his arm around and hit the ball.
GEagle

Everette brown is lucky he is showing up because McCoy performed real well
GEagle

Anyone see Chris Stueber use Geno Smith As a prospect comparison for Bridgewater?
Flyin

Tommy, are you watching the UNC game too?
- GEagle
  
  Stopped watching it a while ago so feel free to provide Clowney updates
  - Flyin
    
    I am not watching it, but curious about how UNC looks.
    - GEagle
      
      They couldn’t stop SC in the first, ur I stopped watching
ICDogg

That was a classic Andy/Marty situation there, having the time run out on the half without getting a FG attempt.— Jimmy Kempski (@JimmyKempski) August 30, 2013
