PS #3 – PHI at JAX – 1st Half
Posted: August 24th, 2013 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 217 Comments »Chip Kelly goes on the road for the first time, in a game that will test whether he is meant for the NFL or not. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of hyperbole, but I’m trying to entertain you and I’ve only got so much good material to work with.
Look for the O to score points.
D needs to come up with at least one takeaway.
Adrian Robinson will not play. Isaac Remington will play on the OL. Vick is still at QB. No word on Brandon Graham being moved.
Go Eagles.
MVP of the game: Kenny Philips. Hands down!
you could probably get pretty long odds on that
ACViking, has there every been a college DL, that switched site in the NFL and became a good player?
So, chip kelly vs gus bradley then. The Chip Ship vs The Gus Bus.
Even though it’s still the pre season… I think I’d sacrifice my first born for an Int from one of the starters…
What shall I do then, with my unborn twins?! 😉
Would a TD be worth it?
Yeah, would be huge to have the D make some kind of big play.
Nothing doing there
nice punt though
Did Andy Ried just call that opening drive?
nice
Ugh. 4 and out. All passes. AR in the building?
50 push ups for Celek..!
50 pushups for Vick!
I’m assuming it was just a joke about how Boykin had to do 50 if he touched a ball and didn’t catch it, and not a serious attempt to blame Celek on that. 🙂
Thank you, sir. 😉
I’ve seen enough. Get Foles in there…………joking relax”
Kendricks n Meco came to hit tonight!!!
someone’s laying out on the field
The jaguars are scared of Kenny Philips. That’s very clear to see!
Eat my shorts
COX!!!!
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Thats what she said
Hahahah Baldi called MJD a pocket rocket hahahaha
Not a good start for the D
Not a good start for the offense either. Only STs did its job.
aargh
QB Controversy…. in Jax
That wasn’t Gabbert?
Gabbert’s not playing. Broken thumb or something. That was Henne.
Oh…god, we are making Henne look good now?
Jesus…Fletcher…SMH!
BARWIN just got nice pressure…who gave up that TD catch?
Vick. Everything is his fault.
RIGHT!! What was I thinking?
Well that could have started off better.
u guys sure you don’t want to give up a 2nd rounder for Byrd?!
SMH at you to Chung!
Terrible coverage by Chung on that TD
Mathis is having a tough time with whoever is in front of him
Have you seen something I missed? That’s the 1st time I noticed him struggling.
I’m talking about tonight..not just the last obvious play…his man is getting a good push constantly tonight
Yeah that’s what I was wondering. In the context of the 1st 2 drives
I don’t know who Mathis man was but I already noticed him struggle a few times
The OL isn’t doing the best of jobs…
Or the Jags D came to play today. Don’t know what’s true ??
I think it’s mostly a carry over from last season. Everyone is sitting on the pass.
Bad start.
I’m ready to start getting the run game going
Wolff sighting
Who got benched?
Fletcher, I think
Safety for corner?
good point… I didn’t see him out there though
Unsure of where to focus; Doom or Gloom.
WOLFF!!
Who got pressure up the middle on that third down to get us off the field?
was it thornton or cox pushing the pocket?
I thought it was Logan..but I’m not sure, anyone know?
#72 THorton right?
I thought I saw 77, and I’m pretty sure Cox wasn’t in the game
definitely could have been 77.
Looked like 77 (Square) when I rewound to the third down.
thanks
The announcers are terrible, then…
Wolff in, 3&out. Notice a trend?!
Ertz
headfirst slide
He was thinking about sliding, but eh, f it.
SLIDE YOU….grrrrrrr!!!!M
12.5 minutes and no JP wow moments yet. What a let down. 😉
Can we fine Vick every time he dives forward rather than slides?
OL blocking is much better, now!
someone missed that assignment on the mccoy run…spoke too soon…
Kelce just got beat badly
Don’t really matter if Vick is gonna hold the ball for 5 seconds
If they fail to convert in the RZ, this looks just like last year’s team.
Foles is faster than Celek
Celek either has a shoulder stinger or a concussion I’d bet
He really does not look healthy after the last 2 balls thrown to him getting up looked like the last 10 steps to the summit of everest
Eh
fake FG time? Anyone? Lol
Not impressed so far
Rough start.
Man, something is just not right tonight. Can’t put my finger on it.
Eagles do miss Maclin
Will Big Balls Chip make his debut?
What does this mean? Going for it is meaningless. Rather get the FG attempt for Henery.
Kelce and Mathis are having a very rough go of it today. The entire interior is just collapsing at the snap. Yuck maybe Kelce – Mathis – Herr just aren’t as good as we thought they’d be in the zone system…
henerey always gives me a heart attack
Lets get a turnover and some more Oregon style offense instead of this vintage AR offense
Cheers to that
Good call, Anders.
The Eagles are playing sloppy football tonight. That’s okay. There will be ups and downs during the season. Gotta respond and fight your way through it.
Some adversity for Vick isn’t the worst thing that could happen for us during a PS game!!!!
…
How about my beloved defense? I’m telling y’all Philly will fall in love with the Brama Bull Barwin!!!
Man, Henery is absolutely killin’ the ball on the kick off.
Thornton with a big hit
The number of that truck was #72, Mr. Henne.
There’s your turnover
What just happened?
Who’s the daddy selling his baby?
With pleasure haha
STRIKE!!!!!!
Hey, that was fun! Let’s do that again!
That BULLET made Lazor happy!
Always love it when Vick successfully finds and be accurate in short yardage TD situations. One of those markers that distinguishes a mediocre playing QB from a great/elite QB. He does not do this as much or as well as he should, same with his ability to pass on the run…
Defense is coming alive.
yup
Ugh…
How is Vick looking in the “taking hits” department?
He still hasn’t learned to slide feet first, but he hasn’t taken any jarring hits.
He’s progressed to where his idea of sliding is to just stop moving his legs and curl up as he falls.
Baby steps.
are what he takes before flopping awkwardly to the ground.
Vick is afraid to slide because back in 2003 he broke his leg on a slide.
awful
Ha…a slide by #7. Just not ours.
Jags helmets are fugly
I’m just relieved we didn’t lose to a team with THOSE helmets…
what’s going on w/Jax interior line?
Cox has a lot of tackles for no gain today…counted ATleast 3
Hahaha he literally just jumped on the entire pile
my boys are getting Rowdy Rowdy!!!
Fun game
If Vick ever does slide, he’ll probably get hit anyway and will draw a 15 yd penalty since no one will expect it
The ground will open and the Earth will swallow him up.
I believe Illegal Use of The End Times is a 15yd penalty.
Another demerit for Damaris
nice job
Smart vick
not so smart Vick
Him and Foles look pretty even to me now lol…
…
Lucky for us St. nick will rescue us and get the comeback win!!!
Prophetic!
blewing blitz pick up by Polk
Vick just pulled a Foles.
and Todd Herremans blows
Herremans is getting spanked.
he really is
Gimmie Watkins or Babre on the next series.
he also just pulled, had a shitty block, and his man made the tackle
I thought that was an exaggeration before I saw the replay.
terrible throw
We suck.
Jy blood is boiling
Throwing the ball while going backwards is usually a poor idea.
And now the D falls apart too.
It’s important for them to respond to this..NOW!!!!
Wow
ouch…
GEagle, there you got your man Wolff taking a terrible angle
I think that may be a proper “Welcome to the NFL” moment for Wolff. Even backup RBs can cut and run.
are you referring to Chung who got cut blocked at the end? That was on Chung…wolff,was in pursuit at the end…..But you can bask in our play if you want. I have no favorites during game time..so wait til after the game to talk ish to me
Nah, Wolff attacked way too aggressively and got burnt for it. Not the only one on that play, but the bad angle jumped out. 🙁
Missed…but when I check it out, I’ll let him have it like I would Allen!!!
Wolff’d…!
Eskin reports that DJax hurt his back on the INT
uh oh
Did he just give damaris his shoes?
I really wonder why we havnt seen any of the double stack play instead of all that double TE in tight?
Earl still getting used to the speed of the game…. Horrible angle, even for a rookie, go too far outside if you have to and force him back in where he is being chased
Man…I like how they just answered…punch them back in the mouth
DJax playing
Good to hear. I’m not watching but listening to radio feed
Wow. what a catch
Avant with a whole can of stickum on his gloves.
awful
Does it seem like Vick is holding onto the ball for too long?
The offense looks like the AR offense instead of the Kelly offense.
No worries…ST. Nick will be here soon!!!
The entire O looks completely different than the first 2 weeks.
really dont understand why we are so tight with the tight end compared to the last two weeks. Lets see that double stack formations.
Maybe Chipper wanted to dial back with the play calling tonight to fool the Skins…?
Vick isn’t the long term answer. he still runs too much.,, that is his first instinct. doesnt have the field vision needed.. or or receivers stink
has a team ever changed starting QBs prior to game 1
With the interior pressure the Jags were getting, Foles would be winded by now.
That’s a good one!
Raiders are about to do it…
its preseason.. NE got killed.. but we look like a 5-6 win team . this defense will be horrible
a lot could be said to just tank for clowney and build the D around him
we are not going to contend with the possible 0-16 raiders
forgot about them.. we need a draft lottery
Do we strike you as the “lucky” type?
we would lose the lottery just like the Flyers and Sixers did the last time they sucked donkey balls.
Maybe this is a trial of more traditional offense. Not seeing much of the option looks… Saving it for regular season?
I can’t decide at full speed how much of this offensive failing is on Vick and how much is on the OL – it feels like Mike’s being slow and/or wrong with his reads fairly frequently, but that could just be a product of the D getting to him so fast.
The play calling doesn’t seem to have helped much either.
It’s going to be a long, up and down season.
If we are still only one point down at half time despite playing sloppy football, then I take it! 😉
So Chip said that now that the settled on a QB that they could start the real work of customizing the offense for the chosen QB. This is the result?
It looks more like he’s customised it for Foles so that he’s ready to come in when Vick gets hurt
lol
Cox just murdered him… BAWSS Hog!!!!!
Da,aris is just getting jiggly wit it tonight!!!! Like putting that fumble behind him and doing damage!
If Damaris limits his mistakes (like he hasn’t tonight), the STs is going to win us a couple games this year.
Really has redeemed himself
Chaney cant block the punter
That blonde cheerleader WOW
Yeah saw that too. I’m in love.
Damn, now I wish I could watch it on TV!
Okay, the OL has just GOT to be better on stunts and twists. Nobody isn’t going to be stuffing us full of stunts and twists!
From the OL’s reactions, that looked like Kelce’s mistake.
Kelce’s been terrible today. Plus he had 2 bad snaps.
Hooray field goals
WRs aren’t really getting open, either…
Okay kelly, after the half, pull your head out of your ass and stop using AR’s play book
I hate watching Vick when the ball isn’t out in under 3 seconds
9 runs to 21 pass plays when you take the vick scrambles out.
taking a step back.. obvious we will be horrible, no reason to be upset about it
sure, there is talent.. but there are many holes too
The offense should be better than this, that side have tons of talent.
This game is a good reminder of how turnovers and special teams play can keep you in the game when you’re struggling.
Tonight should serve as a reality check. The Eagles still have a looooooooooooong way to go before they’re ready to be a good team.
If it’s any compensation, the Jets are currently beating the Giants.
yea, Giants offense looks even worse than us.
Don’t they only have 2 healthy OL, though? At least they’ve got an excuse…
They still got Eli, but he has been TERRIBLE.
New thread is up.
I’m sorry, but I just enjoy watching Foles run this team…I can’t help it loo
Could have sworn the Eagles WON the game. Was I hallucinating? Bad plays or not? Did 1 pre-season game really determine Kelly’s status in the NFL? Even players get more than 1 game. Lol.
