PHI at WAS – 1st Half

Posted: September 9th, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 267 Comments »

We have the inactive list and there is one big surprise.

DE Vinny Curry
CB Shaun Prater
OT Dennis Kelly
OT Matt Tobin
QB Matt Barkley
TE Emil Igwenagu

Only 6 inactives? Remember that the Eagles only have 52 players right now.

Curry is the real head-scratcher. I can only guess that he still is freelancing too much and the coaches don’t fully trust him as a DE. They could use him as a Nickel DT, but remember that WAS is a run-heavy team. A lot of their passing is play-action stuff. I don’t know how much the Nickel and Dime units will play tonight.

I like the fact Kelly is rolling the dice with only 2 QBs. If you need your 3rd QB in a game, you’re probably going to lose anyway.

I do find it interesting that the Eagles have 5 Safeties and 5 ILBs active for the game. That points to Kelly’s emphasis on STs.

The Eagles got a bit of good news from the Skins inactives. S Brandon Meriweather is out. Reed Doughty will take his place. Meriweather played vs the Eagles last year and had a good game. Doughty is more of a try-hard guy than a playmaker.

I think the Cal boys could be big tonight. I’m talking about DeSean Jackson on offense and Mychal Kendricks on defense. Both guys were 2nd round picks, but have big time potential. The Eagles need guys to make plays tonight. Jackson and Kendricks can be playmakers for this team.

I still don’t have a good feel for whether the Eagles will win. I do know that I’m ready for the game. Yesterday was fun, but I’m ready for the Eagles to kick some butt.

    Groin injury for Meriweather

  2. 2 Corry said at 6:44 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I just want to see the Eagles improve at something. Maybe fewer penalties. Fewer missed tackles. Better red zone offense and/or defense. Just give me something.

  3. 3 Arby1 said at 6:46 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I don’t have a good feeling about a win either. Really just want to see this offense GO.

  4. 4 Corry said at 6:58 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    FINALLY! We get to see Chip unveil his offense!

  5. 5 Felix said at 6:59 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Eagles football – GO EAGLES!!

  6. 6 CampDracula said at 7:05 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Before kickoff, I want to thank you, Tommy, for feeding my Eagles fix this summer. Now let’s all go see the real thing!

    Go Eagles!!!!

  7. 7 bdbd20 said at 7:06 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Anyone else excited to see Jeff Maehl?

  8. 8 Corry said at 7:07 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Jersey is already on the way. Future Hall of Famer. Book it.

    EDIT: We need sarcasm font.

  9. 9 Jack Waggoner said at 7:07 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    And how!

  10. 10 TommyLawlor said at 7:08 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The Maehl-man always delivers!!!

  11. 11 Andy124 said at 7:09 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    He’s the Eagles I’m third most excited to see. Right behind Curry and Kinne.

  12. 12 CampDracula said at 7:07 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The inactives list rules out 4 TE sets. Kinda a bummer.

  13. 13 TommyLawlor said at 7:08 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    They can use Riley Cooper out there and have a similar set.

  14. 14 Corry said at 7:12 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Lightning speed. Holy crap. Don’t you know we need time to comment on a message board Chip?!

  15. 15 Andy124 said at 7:13 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    They even go in motion fast.

  16. 16 Andy124 said at 7:15 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Did Vick just throw a block?

  17. 17 xeynon said at 7:32 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    He did. I love the commitment and willingness to put his body on the line for the team, but… don’t want to see him doing that too often.

  18. 18 Corry said at 7:16 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    …Really?

  19. 19 Andy124 said at 7:16 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Might be impossible to get a conclusive review on that.

  20. 20 Crus57 said at 7:16 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    They Eagled the crap out of that one.

  21. 21 Corry said at 7:17 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I think that’s barely a forward pass…but I don’t know if it’s enough evidence to overturn it.

  22. 22 Iskar36 said at 7:17 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    When I saw it live I was yelling at the TV for the Eagles to pick it up because my gut told me it was backwards. I can’t see this getting overturned.

  23. 23 Corry said at 7:18 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yeah there should have been a 11 guys running for that ball.

  24. 24 shah8 said at 7:18 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    It’s a terrible call. Most screen plays will look like that. And batted down screen passes would be taken back all the time…

  25. 25 D3FB said at 7:19 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The ends wont be so far upfield on the quick bubble screen.

  26. 26 D3FB said at 7:17 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Lack of situational awareness. I feel like we’ve seen this before.

  27. 27 xeynon said at 7:23 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    That was terrible football all around. Terrible route by McCoy, terrible decision by Vick, terrible awareness by the rest of the team.

  28. 28 Corry said at 7:21 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Welcome to 2013. Exactly the same as 2012.

  29. 29 Crus57 said at 7:21 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Took less time than 2012.

  30. 30 Corry said at 7:21 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Touche

  31. 31 RichF said at 7:21 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    nah, we screw up waaaay faster now.

  32. 32 Daz said at 7:26 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    gotta stay up-tempo!

  33. 33 shah8 said at 7:21 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Just…wow

  34. 34 xeynon said at 7:21 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Meet the new Vick, same as the old Vick.

  35. 35 RichF said at 7:22 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    That’s one way to keep RG3 off the field.

  36. 36 Crus57 said at 7:22 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Vick and Mccoy just wanted to stay on the field, they were having so much fun.

  37. 37 Andy124 said at 7:22 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    This proves that Chip DOES care about time of possession.

  38. 38 teltschikfakeout88 said at 7:24 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Awful red zone offense…..

  39. 39 TommyLawlor said at 7:28 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    That was torture.

  40. 40 Corry said at 7:25 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Fun Fact: London Fletcher is the only linebacker who wears his age as a jersey number.

  41. 41 TommyLawlor said at 7:28 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Ha. Amazing how good he is and how old he is.

  42. 42 Andy124 said at 7:28 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    When did they start allowing 3 digit numbers?

  43. 43 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 7:27 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    as good as they’ve looked at times, Vick’s missed 4 open guys so far, one for a td.

  44. 44 shah8 said at 7:28 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    announcer was wrong on that. Safety was there on Cooper.

  45. 45 BC1968 said at 7:29 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yep, he would’ve had to fit it. Not wide open, but a possibility.

  46. 46 Corry said at 7:30 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    yeah looked like 24 was coming across when Cooper broke loose.

  47. 47 xeynon said at 7:30 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    At the end of the play. But if Vick unloads that ball quickly, with his arm strength, it’s a TD.

    To be fair to Vick, in that replay you couldn’t see very well what Vick was dealing with when the window for the throw to Cooper opened up. If he didn’t have his feet set or was trying to evade a tackler at that moment, it would have been tough to make that throw even if he did see Cooper.

  48. 48 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 7:44 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    this. He was open initially, but it was unclear whether or not Vick even had the opportunity to hit him early in the route.

  49. 49 Iskar36 said at 7:28 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yep. Definitely a miss on throws to Avant, Celek, and Ertz that I can think of so far.

  50. 50 Arby1 said at 7:34 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yeah he’s been off so far

  51. 51 Crus57 said at 7:28 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Kinda feel sorry for Ron Winter, getting us as his first game of the season. He might have a heart attack in the second half.

  52. 52 Iskar36 said at 7:30 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Awful challenge. Actually takes points off the board and loses a timeout.

  53. 53 teltschikfakeout88 said at 7:30 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Terrible challenge

  54. 54 xeynon said at 7:31 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    How quick do we hear calls for Kelly’s firing if Henery misses this?

  55. 55 BC1968 said at 7:33 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Wow, hold off the negativity, way too early.

  56. 56 xeynon said at 7:35 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Just making a joke at the expense of the nitwit negadelphian fans out there.

  57. 57 BC1968 said at 7:38 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    lol

  58. 58 Christopher Miller said at 7:33 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    thank goodness we don’t need to second guess that…still wondering why he bothered challenging…did Ertz run over asking to review?

  59. 59 Crus57 said at 7:31 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Beautiful kicking from Henery.

  60. 60 BC1968 said at 7:32 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I was hoping the Andy Reid challenges left town with him.

  61. 61 shah8 said at 7:32 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The speed of the offense is preventing replays on tv.

  62. 62 shah8 said at 7:33 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Right now, I’m pretty happy with the offense.

  63. 63 Christopher Miller said at 7:34 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    agreed…we may be in a lot of shootouts, but this O will be fun to watch.

  64. 64 CampDracula said at 7:33 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    So far, I’m slightly encouraged.

    …but mostly tortured.

  65. 65 CampDracula said at 7:37 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Nevermind.

  66. 66 Corry said at 7:34 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    FUMBLE!!!

  67. 67 BC1968 said at 7:35 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    We’re 100 percent, can we keep that turnover rate up Tommy?

  68. 68 Christopher Miller said at 7:36 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    nice

  69. 69 BC1968 said at 7:36 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    He had 2 days back there, this O is crazy

  70. 70 D3FB said at 7:36 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Somebody call Elias, they may break the yardage record tonight.

  71. 71 shah8 said at 7:36 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    A clean version of this offense is total dynamite. This offense with Maclin would be truly unstoppable.

  72. 72 xeynon said at 7:38 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    To borrow a phrase from Parcells, let’s hold off before we crown them. Defensive coordinators are going to develop counter-strategies.

    And there’s no way to run a clean version of this offense – more plays not only means more opportunities to score, it means more opportunities to make mistakes. And this offense has enough mistake-prone players to make that an issue.

  73. 73 BC1968 said at 7:36 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Maybe like the first VIck game here? Tee hee

  74. 74 BC1968 said at 7:37 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Holy shit, still 9 mins left..lol

  75. 75 BC1968 said at 7:37 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I need a time-out

  76. 76 BC1968 said at 7:37 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    My eyes are exhausted

  77. 77 CampDracula said at 7:38 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    It’s like watching basketball.

  78. 78 BC1968 said at 7:38 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Lakers in the 80’s.

  79. 79 nicolajNN said at 7:39 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    So far the season is delivering on the one thing I’m hoping for, entertainment. Unfortunately there has been a little misery as well

  80. 80 BC1968 said at 7:39 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Even after the Redskins touchdown there was much to be excited about.

  81. 81 nicolajNN said at 7:41 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Definitely, the offence is so much fun to watch

  82. 82 BC1968 said at 7:40 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Defense is unbeatable…sorry i got carried away

  83. 83 Corry said at 7:40 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    …this feels like a snail’s pace now.

  84. 84 Corry said at 7:41 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    You can hear a pin drop in the stadium.

  85. 85 BC1968 said at 7:41 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    turnover, loss of 3, penalty forced…let’s end the season

  86. 86 Christopher Miller said at 7:41 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    was that a tackle there? forgot what those looked like.

  87. 87 BC1968 said at 7:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    haha

  88. 88 Guest said at 7:41 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    RG3 yet to do anything?!

  89. 89 BC1968 said at 7:41 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Whoa, hold on there, somebody made a tackle in the open field?

  90. 90 shah8 said at 7:43 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Michael Kendricks got off a block to get the screen play!

  91. 91 Crus57 said at 7:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    !!!

  92. 92 BC1968 said at 7:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    WTF woooooooooooo

  93. 93 Corry said at 7:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    WTF?! TWO TURNOVERS?!

  94. 94 BC1968 said at 7:43 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I’m having chest pains! To quote a commercial

  95. 95 BC1968 said at 7:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    We almost matched last year’s total

  96. 96 Christopher Miller said at 7:43 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    of tackles

  97. 97 BC1968 said at 7:43 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    That too

  98. 98 Corry said at 7:43 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    lol

  99. 99 BreakinAnklez said at 7:43 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    INT!!!!!!! FUMBLE!!!! RG3 never throws INts and Morris never fumbles says the national media.

  100. 100 BC1968 said at 7:44 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Happy Happy Joy Joy. Tommy say something to your people!

  101. 101 Corry said at 7:44 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Washington’s D is going to need oxygen at half time.

  102. 102 nopain23 said at 7:44 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I dont recognize this defense..forced fumbles..interceptions..WHO ARE THESE IMPOSTORS???????????

  103. 103 Crus57 said at 7:45 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Of course, one advantage Boykin has is that he’s harder for QBs to see.

  104. 104 BC1968 said at 7:45 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    RG3 didn’t take a snap like Gruden said. Geez, you think he would’ve done something

  105. 105 scratcherk said at 7:47 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    No pushups for Boykin

  106. 106 Christopher Miller said at 7:47 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    glad to see all those push ups paid off

  107. 107 BC1968 said at 7:48 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    McCoy is crazy good.

  108. 108 Christopher Miller said at 7:49 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    let’s take that play out of the mix please…not ready to see Nick yet

  109. 109 Corry said at 7:49 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    There’s still 6 minutes left in the first quarter?

  110. 110 shah8 said at 7:51 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Herremans is dead to me

  111. 111 Corry said at 7:53 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yeah. he just…got old or suddenly lost all his skill

  112. 112 shah8 said at 7:55 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The real problem is the binary of it all. When Herremans is doing well, he’s doing well. When he’s doing badly, he’s allowing free rushers, and not just failing gracefully.

  113. 113 Corry said at 7:51 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    wow, if ‘Skins 25 didn’t catch it, Boykin would have.

  114. 114 BC1968 said at 7:51 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yep, so even though the announcer said it was a no no, he saved them a yard…lol

  115. 115 BC1968 said at 7:52 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    no no for the returner to catch. it.

  116. 116 scratcherk said at 7:51 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Good STs

  117. 117 xeynon said at 7:53 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I’m thinking Boykin might be the best cornerback on this roster, and not by a small margin.

  118. 118 shah8 said at 7:53 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Gonna have to do some run-run-pass, now. Nothing too flashy.

  119. 119 Andy124 said at 7:53 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Biggest hit of Nate Allen’s career.

  120. 120 Christopher Miller said at 7:54 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    OMG…is this what heaven is like?

  121. 121 scratcherk said at 7:55 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    *like*

  122. 122 shah8 said at 7:54 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Teams, from Thursday to Monday, are very rusty.

  123. 123 BC1968 said at 7:54 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    WOW

  124. 124 Corry said at 7:54 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    TOMMY! Anyone! when was the last time we had a safety?!

  125. 125 Andy124 said at 7:54 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Redskins’ O is beyond pathetic right now.

  126. 126 BC1968 said at 7:55 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    3 safeties this weekend. Is that a record..Steelers, another team and the Eagles.

  127. 127 scratcherk said at 7:55 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Four safeties now i think

  128. 128 BC1968 said at 7:56 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yep

  129. 129 Corry said at 7:55 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Ok, serious question…Why in the hell would you run a toss play in the endzone?

  130. 130 Christopher Miller said at 7:56 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    nobody would expect it (including Morris)?

  131. 131 BC1968 said at 7:56 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I stand corrected, 4 safeties.

  132. 132 BC1968 said at 7:57 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Good slide.

  133. 133 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 7:57 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    notice all pressure is coming from the right hand side off the offensive line where rookie Lane Johnson resides…coincidence???

  134. 134 Crus57 said at 7:58 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Lane Johnson and the remains of Todd Herremans.

  135. 135 Corry said at 7:59 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Johnson gets some leeway for being a rookie. Herremans…eh…

  136. 136 BC1968 said at 7:59 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Since they’ve started blitzes…coordinator has had a chance to look at offense? Hopefully they’ll adjust.

  137. 137 xeynon said at 7:58 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    That sequence is a great example of the hidden value of special teams. If Jones boots that into the end zone or the gunners don’t get off blocks and get down there, that’s a garden variety six yard loss instead of two points and a turnover.

  138. 138 D3FB said at 7:59 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    That was a flop

  139. 139 Mac said at 8:09 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Absurd…the player clearly looks to the sideline and gets up “hurt”

  140. 140 xeynon said at 8:00 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Vick is never going to last 16 games at this pace. Taking way too many unnecessary shots.

  141. 141 Andy124 said at 8:01 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Vick don’t care.

  142. 142 Andy124 said at 8:00 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Wha??

  143. 143 BC1968 said at 8:02 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    They are missing way too many opportunities that’s going to come back and bite them.

  144. 144 Corry said at 8:02 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Execution is piss poor.

  145. 145 shah8 said at 8:02 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Kelly needs to run the ball a bit more.

  146. 146 Christopher Miller said at 8:02 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I sure hope we see more soon…

  147. 147 shah8 said at 8:06 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    It’s still working. Washington can’t keep up, and eventually there will be big plays from exhaustion. It’s a matter of understanding what a play can and can’t do in the NFL. Like a deeper pass when linemen are cutting. And that still took a good play by a DB to break up that pass.

    Some old fashioned screens will help, too.

  148. 148 shah8 said at 8:02 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Trent Cole has a really good tackle.

  149. 149 Crus57 said at 8:03 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    We’ve scored 3 times in 3 different ways, the Skins have just got their first first down of the game, and yet we only lead by 5. Weird night.

  150. 150 Corry said at 8:04 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Eagles aren’t executing the offense very well. Way too many mistakes and negative plays.

  151. 151 Iskar36 said at 8:08 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Still very early, but the tempo seemed to catch the Redskins off guard. The Redskin’s defense has settled down a bit and the offense is not nearly as successful. Right now, amazingly, the defense (and some bad Redskin’s mistakes are what have us leading in this game so far.

  152. 152 Corry said at 8:11 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The ‘Skins are definitely helping us out here, but we’re helping them stay in the game.

  153. 153 shah8 said at 8:08 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Most teams are pretty rusty, right now. Washington is playing quite a bit worse.

  154. 154 Corry said at 8:11 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yeah the Skins look pretty bad right now. They’re all over the place.

  155. 155 deg0ey said at 8:08 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The offense has been a bit up and down, but it looks like once they’ve ironed out the kinks it’s gonna be pretty awesome.

  156. 156 Christopher Miller said at 8:08 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Pretty happy with tackling so far

  157. 157 BC1968 said at 8:08 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    We got a normal like defense so far.

  158. 158 RichF said at 8:10 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    This is my fantasy for this season. Execute assignments, limit stupid mistakes, don’t blame each other for mess ups, and finish middle of the league. So far, they’re doing that, though the skins offense is playing poorly, so I’m not ready to get too excited yet.

  159. 159 CampDracula said at 8:11 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    There’s no way they keep this up. But so far, they’re better than normal. Two turnovers, a safety, no points given up, just one first down, and 30 yards. I’ll take that every quarter.

  160. 160 Corry said at 8:14 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    It’s so weird to see an animated coach on the sideline.

  161. 161 shah8 said at 8:14 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    How many flops you think they can do?

  162. 162 D3FB said at 8:15 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The redskins apparently don’t work their calves. They probably skip leg day.

  163. 163 BC1968 said at 8:15 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Cramping up, got pickle juice?

  164. 164 Mac said at 8:15 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    “Perhaps a cramp again….”

  165. 165 Crus57 said at 8:15 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    If this amount of faking is going to go on, the NFL needs to start instituting the Yellow Card/Red Card system. Obvious flops are a yellow.

  166. 166 Andy124 said at 8:15 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Anyone have any idea what can realistically be done about the fake injuries? I have no ideas other than drink more beer, which of course, is the solution to everything.

  167. 167 BC1968 said at 8:15 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Realize Jackson has like 85? yards without a real bomb. Very efficient.

  168. 168 dislikedisqus said at 8:16 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I feel like I’m watching a superhero movie.

  169. 169 BC1968 said at 8:16 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    They can only fake so much before they make a rule change mid-game.

  170. 170 Crus57 said at 8:17 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Nice work, Herremans.

  171. 171 Corry said at 8:18 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Jesus Herremans. Where did your talent go?

  172. 172 shah8 said at 8:18 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    What is the deal with Herreman

  173. 173 shah8 said at 8:19 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    And the announcer is stupid for thinking Vick can get a hot route when there is a friggin’ free release like that.

  174. 174 BC1968 said at 8:20 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Exactly, how? Wtf

  175. 175 scratcherk said at 8:18 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Come on Herremans

  176. 176 BC1968 said at 8:18 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Nice special teams work again.

  177. 177 Mac said at 8:18 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I said it last year and I’ll say it again… herremans is on the downside of his career.

  178. 178 Crus57 said at 8:19 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    At this rate he’s going to be on the “bench warming” side of his career.

  179. 179 BC1968 said at 8:19 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    It’s the dr’s show.

  180. 180 Corry said at 8:21 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Wow, this defense is swarming.

  181. 181 BC1968 said at 8:21 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Damn, I was just going to say that. They do have some good players, jyust have to put it together.

  182. 182 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 8:23 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I like what I see so far, but RGIII doesn’t look right.

  183. 183 BC1968 said at 8:22 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    RG3 looks like he’s hobbling since he was blasted

  184. 184 Mac said at 8:22 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Punt away from 10

  185. 185 Mac said at 8:23 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Which team won the division last year?

  186. 186 Crus57 said at 8:23 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Dr James Andrews and his surgical team?

  187. 187 Andy124 said at 8:23 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    JP was out? Breather or hurt?

  188. 188 scratcherk said at 8:23 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    JP looks to be OK, coming back in game

  189. 189 BC1968 said at 8:23 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    We have to make this more than a one score game, it shouldn’t be this close. I don’t see the Redskins doing much if RG3 stays in this condition. HE’s not running, throwing well.

  190. 190 Andy124 said at 8:25 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    WTF did Vick just do there? Thow a block, then fall backwards awkardly like he got shot in the back.

  191. 191 Andy124 said at 8:26 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    That was on the McCoy run.

  192. 192 BC1968 said at 8:27 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Nice. Jackson can’t hot dog it like that. Jackass.

  193. 193 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 8:27 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    again pressure from the right. This is getting ridiculous.

  194. 194 Mac said at 8:27 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Send Johnson or peters out there to punish that little shit

  195. 195 BC1968 said at 8:28 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Two midgets ready to fight.

  196. 196 Corry said at 8:28 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Deangelo Hall is a bitch.

  197. 197 Crus57 said at 8:28 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Damn Celek runs seam routes so well.

  198. 198 BC1968 said at 8:29 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    WOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  199. 199 BC1968 said at 8:29 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Better than most of last year already.

  200. 200 BC1968 said at 8:29 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    For Celek I mean.

  201. 201 BC1968 said at 8:30 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Vick had some early misses, but looking good.

  202. 202 shah8 said at 8:30 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Those extra runs this last drive definitely helped…

  203. 203 Corry said at 8:32 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Wow! 44 plays, 22 runs, 22 passes.

  204. 204 Corry said at 8:32 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    And nice Special Teams play there Polk!

  205. 205 BC1968 said at 8:32 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Wow special teams again!

  206. 206 Iskar36 said at 8:32 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Vick was missing on several of his early throws, but his throw to Celek was fantastic.

  207. 207 BC1968 said at 8:32 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Wonder if Andy is watching. Yeah I should’ve done that.

  208. 208 Mac said at 8:33 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The joy on this team… Polks face on that tackle was priceless

  209. 209 BC1968 said at 8:33 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Wow! i can’t stop wowing.

  210. 210 scratcherk said at 8:34 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Its so refreshing to have a coach that pays attention to details:

    Desean Jackson yakking and possibly going to get penalty… Bring him out of game for a play. Would not have gone down that way last year.

  211. 211 BC1968 said at 8:35 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yep, good call. See Chi earlier screaming his head off at the team on the field? Not last year.

  212. 212 Corry said at 8:34 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    C’mon Williams! I like the sack, but you gotta put that facemask into the kidneys!

  213. 213 Andy124 said at 8:34 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Barwin was MOVING.

  214. 214 Crus57 said at 8:35 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Skins fans booing. Won’t be mentioned in the press, I imagine.

  215. 215 scratcherk said at 8:35 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Ugh, DJ still talking trash to hall.

  216. 216 shah8 said at 8:35 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Well, one more successful drive, and this game is over.

  217. 217 Teehee said at 8:35 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Jesus, I love having a defense.

  218. 218 Andy124 said at 8:35 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Chip is applying pressure in every way pressure can be applied and Washington is crumbling.

  219. 219 Corry said at 8:36 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    jesus, Vick picking himself up again.

  220. 220 BC1968 said at 8:37 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Look at all the stats these guys are piling up in a half!

  221. 221 Daz said at 8:38 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The stats going up are like when you play Madden on the easiest setting!

  222. 222 shah8 said at 8:38 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    They are going after the ball in Brown’s hand. He’s holding on.

  223. 223 Corry said at 8:38 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Lots of hands on hips on the Skins D. They’re exhausted.

  224. 224 Crus57 said at 8:38 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    50 plays in the first half!

  225. 225 BC1968 said at 8:38 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    WTF Jackson and McCoy over 100 yards..

  226. 226 shah8 said at 8:39 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Gotta rotate them good. Nobody want’s injuries from players too tired to stay coordinated.

  227. 227 BC1968 said at 8:40 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    True they have Brown, but they don’t have Maclin.

  228. 228 CampDracula said at 8:39 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    “The Eagles have run 50 plays in the first half.”

    Beautiful.

  229. 229 Andy124 said at 8:39 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    They said they’d mix speeds. Seems like they’ve been green light all game.

  230. 230 Iskar36 said at 8:41 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Ok, so minor concern for now, but still curious about others thoughts. Is our team capable of maintaining this pace throughout the year? I’m particularly concerned about McCoy. Already has 20 carries.

  231. 231 Corry said at 8:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yeah, that’s a concern. I hope going forward we see more of Brown and Polk if we’re going to be running this many plays.

  232. 232 CampDracula said at 9:03 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Judging from the preseason, my biggest concern about this team is depth. So your point is well received.

  233. 233 Corry said at 8:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    You could have driven a school bus through that hole.

  234. 234 Crus57 said at 8:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I swear I was expecting D-Jax to have injured Vick with that celebration.

  235. 235 Teehee said at 8:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Same thing I was thinking.

  236. 236 Andy124 said at 8:43 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    ditto

  237. 237 scratcherk said at 8:43 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    x3

  238. 238 BC1968 said at 8:42 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Yaaa! Now don’t do that again. He got f ed up doing the same thing in PHilly against the Redskins, remember broke his ribs?

  239. 239 scratcherk said at 8:43 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Ah special teams…. So refreshing….

  240. 240 BC1968 said at 8:44 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Running it out? Keep doing it..lol

  241. 241 Corry said at 8:44 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    322 yards to 47?!

  242. 242 BC1968 said at 8:44 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Crazy.

  243. 243 BC1968 said at 8:45 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Don’t give them anything cheap here.

  244. 244 nicolajNN said at 8:45 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Shady is league leading rusher after 1 half. Crazy

  245. 245 Teehee said at 8:45 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Love this offense. Just don’t get him hurt.

  246. 246 Andy124 said at 8:46 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    That’s pretty cool.

  247. 247 BC1968 said at 8:46 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    No freaking shit….imagine fantasy, which i don’t play, but crazy.

  248. 248 Crus57 said at 8:46 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Other things to note, we only used 1 of our timeouts, and that was in a failed challenge.

  249. 249 Corry said at 8:47 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Now THAT was an awesome blitz.

  250. 250 Teehee said at 8:47 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Slammed.

  251. 251 Crus57 said at 8:48 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Man, Kendricks was shifting.

  252. 252 BC1968 said at 8:47 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    He threw a Vick ball. I would yank him, but I hope they don’t.

  253. 253 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 8:49 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I’d like to see all 3 rbs pound the rock the entire second half. I’m legitimately worried about the offense’s ability to keep this pace all year. There’s no way they can last and Vick is taking too many shots.

    That’s the downside to the blitzkrieg…

  254. 254 Corry said at 8:49 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The ‘skins are falling apart here.

  255. 255 Teehee said at 8:50 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Just let it go and hope you can fix it at halftime.

  256. 256 Crus57 said at 8:51 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Loved that none of the Skins O-Line realised the half was over.

  257. 257 Andy124 said at 8:51 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Since a silver lining isn’t called for, I’ll provide a dark grey lining: We won’t often play a team that plays this poorly on offense. It’s truly a pathetic display of football. You’d almost think their QB was a young guy with no preseason.

  258. 258 Corry said at 8:52 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    …can’t I enjoy it for a half?

  259. 259 Andy124 said at 8:53 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    You did. I posted at least a second after the half was over. 🙂

  260. 260 Corry said at 8:53 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Oh… right. Can’t I enjoy it for a game?

  261. 261 shah8 said at 8:54 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    The real cloud is Herremans. Wonder just how useful the fireman is to Miami if he can’t beat Herremans.

  262. 262 BreakinAnklez said at 8:51 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Did you see that Rock Bottom by Kendricks?!?!!M

  263. 263 Corry said at 8:52 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    Second half, foot on throat Birds. Don’t let up.

  264. 264 Christopher Miller said at 8:53 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    While I I don’t want to make too much of this performance, it is nice to see them actually executing the fundamentals we heard so much about the last few years.

  265. 265 Andy124 said at 8:54 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    OK, Nick Foles time. 😉

  266. 266 DamonL86 said at 8:54 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    I am stunned what a great half

  267. 267 TommyLawlor said at 8:58 PM on September 9th, 2013:

    2nd half thread is up.
