    Drops again

  2. 2 TommyLawlor said at 1:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    DJax has to make that catch.

  3. 3 BlindChow said at 1:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Finding a way to lose…

  4. 4 GEagle said at 1:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Good play by fletch

  5. 5 Iskar36 said at 1:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    How was it a good play? He got burned badly and the WR dropped it

  6. 6 GEagle said at 1:10 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Watch the replay…he forced that incompletion

  7. 7 Corry said at 1:11 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    He got his hand in there to knock it away.

  8. 8 Corry said at 1:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Good play by #24.

  9. 9 Corry said at 1:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    *sigh*

  10. 10 scratcherk said at 1:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    agreed

  11. 11 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nate Allen has one job with single high safety and he can’t even so that. He sucks

  12. 12 Iskar36 said at 1:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Not sure what Fletcher was celebrating on that last one. Was a drop by the WR. Not a play by him

  13. 13 SteveH said at 1:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    He got his hand in and knocked it out, per replay.

  14. 14 GEagle said at 1:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    No…he made that play

  15. 15 GEagle said at 1:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nate Allen is a joke

  16. 16 Corry said at 1:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The whole defense is a joke.

  17. 17 TommyLawlor said at 1:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Oh boy…

  18. 18 SteveH said at 1:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The Eli strategy – wait a few beats and toss it up deep for grabs. Nate Allen unable to handle deep coverage responsibility.

  19. 19 DamonL86 said at 1:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Defense is brutal to watch

  20. 20 Corry said at 1:10 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    This is going to be a long afternoon.

  21. 21 RichF said at 1:10 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    so, this could be a long game

  22. 22 scratcherk said at 1:10 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I’ll give 3 first round picks for Jarius Byrd right now

  23. 23 SteveH said at 1:10 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I’ll let you all sacrifice me to the sun gods to get Byrd, just so the rest of you don’t have to watch this dumpster fire.

  24. 24 scratcherk said at 1:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    sir, you’re a scholar and a gentleman

  25. 25 xeynon said at 1:14 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Replacing a crappy safety with a good one is not going to cure all that ails this defense. We’re going to need to draft defense early and often over the next few years. QB is the only position on the offensive side of the ball that they should even consider spending a high pick on next season.

  26. 26 GEagle said at 1:16 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    You would be surprised how much better Cary and Fletch would look with a playmaking safety

  27. 27 Weapon Y said at 1:32 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Fletcher looks really bad. CB needs to be priority #1 in the draft. I’m on the Bradley Roby bandwagon.

  28. 28 ACViking said at 1:32 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    every position is a priority

  29. 29 SteveH said at 1:37 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    How does Fletch look bad? He’s the only DB who’s made a play so far today!

  30. 30 xeynon said at 1:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Disagree. Fletcher was the 3rd best cornerback on the Rams last year and Williams the 4th best cornerback on the Ravens, neither of which are elite defenses.

  31. 31 GEagle said at 2:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Apparently you aren’t watching this game lol

  32. 32 Flyineagle45 said at 1:11 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nate Allen never needs to play another snap for us and badly fletcher as well this d prob couldn’t stop a pop Warner team

  33. 33 SteveH said at 1:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    why the hate for fletch, he broke up the first one that Allen let get over his head.

  34. 34 GEagle said at 1:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Is would seriously bench Nate right now for the rest of ether game….how the hell could Kurt or colt be any worse then this pigeon?

  35. 35 BlindChow said at 1:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Same old Eagles.

  36. 36 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    There is not one person on this defense that offensive coordinators need to scheme around and adjust to. In fact, I think they can easily exploit just about any one of them they choose…

  37. 37 Flyineagle45 said at 1:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    They couldn’t cover a bed if they were sheets I’m sick of it should have got rob Ryan as well and a db instead of ertz

  38. 38 Weapon Y said at 1:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    This defense….

  39. 39 xeynon said at 1:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Is your offense having trouble protecting the passer, running the ball, or getting receivers down the field in the deep passing game? We have the cure for you. It’s called the 2013 Philadelphia Eagles defense.

  40. 40 SteveH said at 1:14 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I love how the broadcast talks about how we were so aware of getting beat deep, and then we promptly get beaten deep.

  41. 41 RichF said at 1:15 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Just wait until they mention how vick is protecting the ball better, and didn’t turn it over last week.

  42. 42 GEagle said at 1:14 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    RUN the fucking ball!!!!!!nRun the he fuckin BALL!!! Run the fuckin Ball!,

  43. 43 DamonL86 said at 1:15 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    You have to make that throw

  44. 44 Flyineagle45 said at 1:15 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    How is it possible to go hoarse from yelling in the first 3 minutes of a gam

  45. 45 xeynon said at 1:17 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    That throw is what separates a middling guy like Vick from the elite quarterbacks. There’s no way Rodgers or Brees doesn’t hit Ertz there.

  46. 46 RichF said at 1:19 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    pretty good rb though

  47. 47 xeynon said at 1:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Indeed, he’s a great running quarterback. If he were only a bit more accurate and consistent about beating the blitz he really could be a top quarterback.

  48. 48 GEagle said at 1:18 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick!!!!

  49. 49 xeynon said at 1:19 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Does Chippah have so little faith in this passing game that he’s going to run it on 3rd and 9?

  50. 50 Corry said at 1:19 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Wait…The giants accepted that penalty? That’ll teach me to walk away from the game.

  51. 51 BlindChow said at 1:20 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It’s clear the Giants have nothing to be afraid of.

    Edit: Nevermind!

  52. 52 xeynon said at 1:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yeah, I think they were probably thinking “if Kelly doesn’t want to throw the ball in a 3rd and 9 situation, he’s going to be really afraid of something bad happening on 3rd and 19”. Unfortunately for the Giants they decided to go with man coverage and not spy Vick.

  53. 53 Flyineagle45 said at 1:19 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Our offense needs to score 50 pts a game to have a shot a winning

  54. 54 shah8 said at 1:19 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    bleep me, Vick! Why didn’t Coughlin take the stupid punt!?

  55. 55 SteveH said at 1:20 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Dunno, that was mysterious lol.

  56. 56 ACViking said at 1:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Eagles ran on 3rd and 9.

    Kelly was going to go for that 4th down and 3 or so.

  57. 57 shah8 said at 1:20 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    OL is having a terrible game.

  58. 58 SteveH said at 1:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yeah, and Giants DL has been terrible so far this year. Puzzling.

  59. 59 Anders said at 1:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The DTs have been good.

  60. 60 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Good thing they are going up against a weak underachieving DL.

  61. 61 DamonL86 said at 1:20 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Wow that is terrible

  62. 62 SteveH said at 1:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Oh god now the defense has to come back on the field… I can’t look…

  63. 63 TommyLawlor said at 1:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The defense needs to show something here. Last drive was way too easy for the Giants.

  64. 64 DamonL86 said at 1:31 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    They have showed nothing so far

  65. 65 Flyineagle45 said at 1:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    They might as well not even line up

  66. 66 Iskar36 said at 1:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick never ducks out early, but did anyone else think he could gain a few extra yards on that 2nd down play where he ran out of bounds 2 yards short? Seemed he had plenty of space to get the first on that play.

  67. 67 SteveH said at 1:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Seems like he was losing his balance and that’s why he stepped out.

  68. 68 Iskar36 said at 1:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Could be. I didn’t see a replay so I could not tell. It just seemed he had the space.

  69. 69 RichF said at 1:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    looked like his inertia wouldn’t let him stay in.

  70. 70 shah8 said at 1:31 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    EJ Manuel thought so, too.

    In the end, you have to expect your running game to be able to get that last yard.

  71. 71 scratcherk said at 1:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    weird kick off

  72. 72 Flyineagle45 said at 1:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I hate looking at this defense constructed by someone who has barely had success with d on any team he’s been a part of

  73. 73 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Is there any reason Eli shouldn’t air it out deep on virtually every play?

  74. 74 RichF said at 1:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    good sportsmanship?

  75. 75 GEagle said at 1:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    They better not trot Nate Allen out there again. Only Nate could make me so desperate to see Kurt or Colt

  76. 76 Flyineagle45 said at 1:25 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Hopefully the jets get rid of sexy rexy then maybe we can get him

  77. 77 RichF said at 1:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    to play safety?

  78. 78 Weapon Y said at 1:25 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Get Buddy Nix on the phone right now. I want Jairus Byrd playing for us next week. I’ve had enough of Nate Allen.

  79. 79 Flyineagle45 said at 1:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Doesn’t matter we still have a bad dc

  80. 80 GEagle said at 1:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Stop it

  81. 81 scratcherk said at 1:27 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    can we just onside kick every time

  82. 82 Corry said at 1:28 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Don’t worry guys, Bill Davis will watch the game film 10 times and see fundamental improvement.

  83. 83 Flyineagle45 said at 1:29 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ha might as well

  84. 84 Flyineagle45 said at 1:30 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Could this possibly be worst defense in nfl history at least they will get noticed for something

  85. 85 Teehee said at 1:31 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I thought it couldn’t get any worse from last year. The Eagles always prove me wrong.

  86. 86 SteveH said at 1:32 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    When your D is bad, why make it worse by switching fronts and having players miscast? Can only be a move to build for the future…

  87. 87 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:31 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I miss the wide-9.

  88. 88 Flyineagle45 said at 1:32 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I miss jj our defense sadly died with him rip

  89. 89 scratcherk said at 1:32 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    turf monster — our defensive MVP

  90. 90 SeanofDead said at 1:32 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Well, if Nate can’t cover…. Might as well rush him every time

  91. 91 Corry said at 1:36 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Knowing Davis, he’s likely our new OLB. Boykin lost the job apparently.

  92. 92 Anders said at 1:32 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    If people are wondering, so far Davis have called a pretty standard game.
    We do just have crap talent on defense and lets not kid our self, the Giants have more talent than they showed first 4 games.

    My biggest problem so far has been Vick as a passer. Our passing game is doing nothing.

  93. 93 SteveH said at 1:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    loooool Eli Manning does such funny things.

  94. 94 Flyineagle45 said at 1:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick is not the issue at all

  95. 95 xeynon said at 1:36 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    He’s certainly not as big an issue as the defense, that is true. But he is an issue. An F defense will hurt your Super Bowl chances more than a B- quarterback, but they’ll both hurt you.

  96. 96 BC1968 said at 1:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    No F defense will get you a Super Bowl. Not even for Peyton Manning.

  97. 97 SteveH said at 1:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    0 passing yards for Eagles, gross.

  98. 98 scratcherk said at 1:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    shallow cross for first down here

  99. 99 BC1968 said at 1:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ya the giants offense is playing defense for the eagles

  100. 100 BlindChow said at 1:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I credit Nate Allen for that one!

  101. 101 Teehee said at 1:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Our defense plays better BEFORE the play.

  102. 102 Flyineagle45 said at 1:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    If we could stop a team one time just one time we wouldn’t have to play so desperate

  103. 103 RichF said at 1:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    that’s an awfully sporting handicap they just gave our d

  104. 104 Corry said at 1:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    With the way things are going, Eli is making the best plays for our defense.

  105. 105 DamonL86 said at 1:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    3rd and 25 watch the crossing route

  106. 106 OregonDucker said at 1:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Here comes a TD throw.

  107. 107 Teehee said at 1:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nah, Eli will just scramble through the missed tackles for a first down

  108. 108 xeynon said at 1:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The Giants’ offense is obviously trying to challenge itself by making the yardage-to-go longer.

  109. 109 RichF said at 1:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    if you’re coughlin you go for it here right?

  110. 110 SeanofDead said at 1:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Thank u for not celebrating cary

  111. 111 scratcherk said at 1:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    what is the opposing team doing here?

  112. 112 scratcherk said at 1:36 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    that guy kicked the ball with his foot… strange tactic, cant say i’ve seen it

  113. 113 SteveH said at 1:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Thank you Cary Williams, a shallow cross didn’t go for 30 yards!

  114. 114 Flyineagle45 said at 1:36 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Lets get the local high school team on d see what they can do

  115. 115 Teehee said at 1:36 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I’ll fly over from Utah and play safety.

  116. 116 OregonDucker said at 1:36 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ok, now we got ’em overconfident. Time to…..

  117. 117 Teehee said at 1:37 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Buttfumble!

  118. 118 shah8 said at 1:37 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Thank you giants for being so generous to our defense!

  119. 119 Flyineagle45 said at 1:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Being the worst team in the league sucks

  120. 120 Corry said at 1:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nah, the Jags are still in the league. Take comfort in that.

  121. 121 Teehee said at 1:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Get back on the Jacksonville boards, kid.

  122. 122 ACViking said at 1:39 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Manning looked a little gun-shy on the missed wheel route to Wilson

  123. 123 BlindChow said at 1:39 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    He was probably expecting to see Matthews.

  124. 124 SteveH said at 1:39 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Celek making contributions! Getting fouled!

  125. 125 GEagle said at 1:40 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    And teaching Ertz how To drop balls

  126. 126 DamonL86 said at 1:40 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Do we have a completion yet?

  127. 127 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:40 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nope

  128. 128 Corry said at 1:40 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    No.

  129. 129 Teehee said at 1:40 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick 0/4

  130. 130 DamonL86 said at 1:41 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Guess he didnt see JPP coming right at him

  131. 131 Flyineagle45 said at 1:41 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    This is pathetic

  132. 132 GEagle said at 1:41 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    How did peters leave JPP unblocked?

  133. 133 ACViking said at 1:45 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    hot receiver was McCoy.

    Vick tried to throw OVER Pierre-Paul. Not around him.

  134. 134 Teehee said at 1:41 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Man, trying to follow this on the NFL Game center sucks. Just said Vick passed incomplete to himself.

  135. 135 TommyLawlor said at 1:42 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Batted ball by JPP

  136. 136 Teehee said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    That makes more sense.

  137. 137 Flyineagle45 said at 1:42 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Jpp will have a career day today

  138. 138 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:42 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Offense is just regressing. If McCoy goes down we’ll never see another win.

  139. 139 SteveH said at 1:42 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nice punt at least.

  140. 140 BC1968 said at 1:42 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    He regained his momentum

  141. 141 RichF said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    right? He made another drive – should’ve been points.

  142. 142 BC1968 said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yep, maybe a challenge

  143. 143 scratcherk said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    dont think you can challenge forward progress.

  144. 144 BC1968 said at 1:44 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Good point, never seen done, but maybe cause it never happened?

  145. 145 Teehee said at 1:42 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    If any player is ever having a down year, playing the Eagles sure can fix it.

  146. 146 GEagle said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    We didn’t yet the safety???

  147. 147 Corry said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Oh that’s bullshit! That’s a safety!

  148. 148 TommyLawlor said at 1:49 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Horrible call.

  149. 149 BC1968 said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    He actually started forward progress again in the end zone that should be a safety

  150. 150 xeynon said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Normally I think it’s idiotic to say Vick is “a running back playing quarterback”. Today he really does look like a running back playing quarterback though. Partially it’s the play calling. Is Kelly trying to get him hurt?

  151. 151 SteveH said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I think Kelly is trying to get yards anyway he can…

  152. 152 SeanofDead said at 1:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    We can’t challenge the spot?

  153. 153 Flyineagle45 said at 1:44 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It’s a waste of a challenge because they would put it on the one

  154. 154 BC1968 said at 1:45 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The defensive player let him go and he started again though

  155. 155 scratcherk said at 1:45 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Did that look like it was going to be a flea-flicker to anyone else?

  156. 156 xeynon said at 1:45 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    To paraphrase Bill Parcells, this game is what the records say it is – an ugly contest between two bottom dwellers.

  157. 157 GEagle said at 1:45 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Chip is on my damn nerves. Shady NEEDS 30 carries can every single division game and I don’t care how many players opponents put in the he box…..

    This line is struggling, how about our offensive genius help them out, run the rock and let them get into a Rythm

  158. 158 BlindChow said at 1:47 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Doesn’t look at all like Oregon. Looks like Shurmur’s Browns. I’m really disappointed in Kelly.

  159. 159 Flyineagle45 said at 1:47 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    We are the worst team in the league don’t expect to much

  160. 160 SteveH said at 1:47 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Cmon man… worse than jacksonville? Really?

  161. 161 Teehee said at 1:48 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    At least we have a quarterback who is competent… Sometimes.

  162. 162 BC1968 said at 1:49 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Actually there’s the QB and Shady. Then I get lost on giving names.

  163. 163 Flyineagle45 said at 1:47 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Even if we got a safety or defense won’t keep us in the game

  164. 164 TommyLawlor said at 1:49 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The D just had a good series. Maybe they’ll wake up and get going.

  165. 165 GEagle said at 1:50 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Why not shut off the TV and call it a day? SMH at soft eagles fans waiving the white flag in the 2nd quarter

  166. 166 scratcherk said at 1:48 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    CRAMP!!!!

  167. 167 RichF said at 1:48 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Eagles 1st down – someone drop!

  168. 168 Insomniac said at 1:49 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick completed his first pass! PANIC!

  169. 169 BlindChow said at 1:50 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    FINALLY a checkdown to McCoy.

  170. 170 xeynon said at 1:48 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Riddle me this: is David Wilson the Nate Allen of running backs, or is Nate Allen the David Wilson of safeties?

  171. 171 Crus57 said at 1:48 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yes.

  172. 172 xeynon said at 1:49 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    At least we can take a little solace in the fact that other teams also blow high draft picks on guys who are terrible at playing football.

  173. 173 Crus57 said at 1:50 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I’m trying, but so far that’s not much comfort, sadly.

  174. 174 SeanofDead said at 1:50 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    60% of the time thats almost always accurate….mostly

  175. 175 BC1968 said at 1:48 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Talk about a 180 from Andy.

  176. 176 BC1968 said at 1:50 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    OH shit i missed the pass, i looked up saw shady running thought it was a run.

  177. 177 BC1968 said at 1:50 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Oh he did carry it. lol

  178. 178 Insomniac said at 1:51 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    it was a checkdown pass

  179. 179 BC1968 said at 1:51 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    oh ok

  180. 180 Flyineagle45 said at 1:51 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Remember when we decided to go to a 3-4 when we clearly have 4-3 players

  181. 181 Teehee said at 1:51 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Clear as day.

  182. 182 RichF said at 1:52 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    This is purely a work in progress. Just enjoy the ride – we should have no expectation of being in contention…

  183. 183 BlindChow said at 1:53 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Not all rides are fun.

  184. 184 GEagle said at 1:53 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Remember when our fans weren’t so soft?

  185. 185 BC1968 said at 1:51 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Woo hoo

  186. 186 SteveH said at 1:51 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Urrrtttzzzzz

  187. 187 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:51 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Hooray! Someone other than Shady does something.

  188. 188 GEagle said at 1:51 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    ERTZY!!!!!

  189. 189 BC1968 said at 1:51 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I was just going to say there are all kinds of stink lines coming out of my tv screen.

  190. 190 SteveH said at 1:52 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    ERTZZLAKKERRZZZZZ

  191. 191 Teehee said at 1:52 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    More than 3 players being involved… Is this the right game we’re watching?

  192. 192 BC1968 said at 1:53 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    4 downs. No friggin FG!!

  193. 193 scratcherk said at 1:53 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    come on vick.

  194. 194 Flyineagle45 said at 1:53 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The red zone lets just put Henry is now

  195. 195 Iskar36 said at 1:53 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Redzone struggles… We did fire AR right?

  196. 196 DamonL86 said at 1:53 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Where are the TE’s in the redzone

  197. 197 OregonDucker said at 1:54 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Having tea and scones?

  198. 198 xeynon said at 1:54 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It wouldn’t be an Eagles offensive performance without a terrible red zone series or two thrown in.

  199. 199 Insomniac said at 1:54 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Should have ran up the gut. We haven’t been doing much by trying to bounce it outside so far

  200. 200 SteveH said at 1:54 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    That Mccoy run was going for 6 if Herremans peels back and stops Hill. Just execution problems.

  201. 201 BC1968 said at 1:54 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Man I just had to spray down my tv with lysol.

  202. 202 SteveH said at 1:55 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Too much spittle flying today huh?

  203. 203 BC1968 said at 1:56 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    No, it’s literally coming out of the stadium cameras into my living room. No one else having that problem?

  204. 204 Teehee said at 1:58 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Not all of us have 4D TV’s

  205. 205 OregonDucker said at 1:55 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Now you need something for the stench!

  206. 206 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 1:54 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Same players means same problems in the redzone…

  207. 207 RichF said at 1:58 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I think height matters in the redzone, which is a problem that even if these guys were playing better won’t be fixed. We have a short qb and a short wr1. Riley is taller, but not hugely talented, and our TEs are on a redzone hunger strike.

  208. 208 shah8 said at 1:58 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Should be noted that we’re not seeing Riley’s name called often.

  209. 209 Dr. Claw said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Because he SUCKS. He should not be an Eagle at the very least the end of this season.

  210. 210 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 2:01 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    But he was a stud in the preseason…

  211. 211 BC1968 said at 1:55 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Is DeSean Jackson being used as a blocker today?

  212. 212 Spooonius said at 1:55 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick’s (lack of) accuracy is really holding the eagles back. It’s frustrating to watch.

  213. 213 Dr. Claw said at 1:56 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    the Eagles lack of WRs is what’s really holding the Eagles back. You can’t complete passes to glorified blockers.

  214. 214 Iskar36 said at 1:58 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The WRs are not helping matters, but Avant was open on that last play. Vick flat out missed a TD throw there.

  215. 215 Spooonius said at 2:27 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I see your point, but I’m just referring to the times when they’re open. But again, I do see your point.

  216. 216 TommyLawlor said at 1:57 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It hurt on that last play. Avant was open for a TD. Gotta make those throws.

  217. 217 Patrick said at 1:58 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    He isn’t a very good QB, what did you expect? Poor accuracy, poor decision making, poor at reading the defense. He has an amazingly strong arm and is still a very athletic guy, but he is just not a very good QB.
    Although he doesn’t have great weapons to throw to either.

  218. 218 SteveH said at 1:57 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Damn the Jaguars are a bad beat team, Joeckel just carted off the field. That team is going to win the tank for Teddy sweepsteaks.

  219. 219 Corry said at 1:59 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Did Nicks just alligator arm that with Allen lurking there?

  220. 220 BC1968 said at 1:59 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Of all people to alligator arm it against.

  221. 221 Corry said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yeah, he’ll never live that one down lol

  222. 222 BC1968 said at 1:59 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ricky Watters play. Alligator arms

  223. 223 scratcherk said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Good defense? wtf?

  224. 224 BC1968 said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ok i’m changing this defenses name to the Steel Curtain

  225. 225 RichF said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    upgraded from silk?

  226. 226 Corry said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Lace.

    Feather?

  231. 231 BC1968 said at 2:01 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Now you guys are getting too sexy for me, stop

  232. 232 RichF said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Finding a rhythm.

  233. 233 Teehee said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The defense is showing life!

  234. 234 SteveH said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Bradley Fletcher makes second play of the day. Our corners aren’t so bad, its the safeties that kill the secondary.

  235. 235 BC1968 said at 2:00 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ok we’re in business for another FG.

  236. 236 GEagle said at 2:02 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Lets now make it a point to get shady and ERTZY going

  237. 237 Flyineagle45 said at 2:02 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The stop was thanks to Eli and we will b in position to get clown eu in the draft

  238. 238 GEagle said at 2:02 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    We should be winning this game, but they stole a safety from us

  239. 239 RichF said at 2:03 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    it would feel good to be up 8 7 right now!

  240. 240 BC1968 said at 2:03 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    We got lucky!

  241. 241 GEagle said at 2:04 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    No we didn’t. They are just bad

  242. 242 Corry said at 2:03 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Wow, Lady Luck with Eagles today.

  243. 243 SteveH said at 2:03 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Wow, we got away with one there.

  244. 244 Teehee said at 2:04 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I don’t get the game here. What happened?

  245. 245 Flyineagle45 said at 2:04 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Our offense should be called rz3

  246. 246 RichF said at 2:04 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    4 downs… fg coming up!

  247. 247 Insomniac said at 2:04 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Field goal in 45 seconds!

  248. 248 scratcherk said at 2:05 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    TD YAY

  249. 249 GEagle said at 2:05 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Shady run three times in a row!!!

  250. 250 BC1968 said at 2:05 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    That’s how you do it. At least we didn’t get away with one where we got cheated out of safety.

  251. 251 Flyineagle45 said at 2:05 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Color me surprised a td

  252. 252 BC1968 said at 2:06 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    LOL

  253. 253 BC1968 said at 2:05 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    To be fair, the Chiefs took awhile before they really had their game in hand against the Giants.

  254. 254 Spooonius said at 2:06 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I like the designed runs from Vick today.

  255. 255 BC1968 said at 2:06 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    VIck and Shady with the chance of a play action should be able to do it all day.

  256. 256 xeynon said at 2:07 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I don’t. Sure, mixing one or two in over the course of the game is fine, but in the NFL the quarterback should primarily be hurting you with his arm. This looks like Atlanta Mike Vick. There’s no way this approach works against a competent NFL defense.

  257. 257 BlindChow said at 2:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Passing first sure hasn’t been working the past two weeks.

  258. 258 Dr. Claw said at 2:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It would have against San Diego if the defense was not a joke…

  259. 259 xeynon said at 2:11 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    True. But they’re not going to do anything other than maybe beat other bad teams with an offense that doesn’t even try to throw the ball.

  260. 260 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 2:11 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It reaffirms what I’ve been saying all along. The LACK of talent on offense means you can man up our WR and there is nothing we can do about it but run the QB. Best thing to do when dbs are turned around is run the QB.

  261. 261 SteveH said at 2:06 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    lol, I love that we scored a TD, but Mcbride should have easily picked that off. We got a little lucky there haha.

  262. 262 livingonapear said at 2:06 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Finally we’re getting some of that creativity that we were promised.

  263. 263 BC1968 said at 2:06 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Andy would’ve had Vick fade back 10 yards, so this a nice change.

  264. 264 shah8 said at 2:07 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick simply has to be the primary rusher in ~and goal situations. No ifs, ands, or buts, about it. Until the OL does power better.

  265. 265 Insomniac said at 2:07 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I don’t know what made me more happy. We scored or the Chiefs D has 30 points for me in fantasy football.

  266. 266 GEagle said at 2:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I also have thee Cheifs, shady nd Blackmon(started him today in two leagues)

  267. 267 Crus57 said at 2:07 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    A few seasons ago DJax would’ve dropped that as the DB broke his concentration. Good effort from him.

  268. 268 BC1968 said at 2:08 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Someone mentioned how weird Henery’s first kick was today, it was like a blooper that he didn’t want to go into the end zone. That was weird.

  269. 269 Corry said at 2:10 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yeah, he must have missed it or something…he can usually put it out of the endzone. Or at least deep enough to discourage a return.

  270. 270 Flyineagle45 said at 2:09 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It’s not fair opposing teams get 22 players on offense

  271. 271 Flyineagle45 said at 2:11 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Whoa the giants o thank you

  272. 272 GEagle said at 2:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yea cuz Kendricks didn’t knock it loose. Troll on playa

    Keep talking trash about my D!!!!’

  275. 275 Iskar36 said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    You’re kidding me right? No one even touched him. That’s not a defensive play. That’s an offensive failure. Let’s not pound our chests for no reason

  276. 276 Insomniac said at 2:11 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Butterfingerrrrrrrrrrrs

  277. 277 BC1968 said at 2:12 PM on October 6th, 2013:

  280. 280 BC1968 said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    What is this weird thing? Running on 3rd and 3? Wow, amazing

  281. 281 Teehee said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I guess Chip knows that Shady can run on the Giants

  282. 282 RichF said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    smart out of bounds

  283. 283 BC1968 said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Are they going to have 500 yards rushing today?

  284. 284 Spooonius said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Uh oh

  285. 285 BlindChow said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    They can just throw short all day with space our CB’s are giving them, yet they run! Ha!

  286. 286 SteveH said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ah shit.

  287. 287 BC1968 said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Still can’t stop getting hurt without being hit, Another red zone

  288. 288 Flyineagle45 said at 2:13 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Great

  289. 289 SteveH said at 2:14 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    read option isnt going to work if Vick is gimpy.

    Even Vick can’t keep up with the offense!

  293. 293 Teehee said at 2:15 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick gets gimpy every game. It just came early this time

    There is zero separation on these receivers

  295. 295 BC1968 said at 2:15 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    McCoy thought too much on that.

  296. 296 Spooonius said at 2:16 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It looked to me like once he slipped, there was nothing he could do.

  297. 297 BC1968 said at 2:17 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    True, i thought maybe he made himself slip trying to juke on a play no one was around.

  298. 298 Flyineagle45 said at 2:15 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    That field goal tho

  299. 299 GEagle said at 2:17 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Watching a game with you is unbearable….go have a catch at halftime in traffic. Thanks

  300. 300 GEagle said at 2:16 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick gets no calls

  301. 301 Insomniac said at 2:16 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    that was so blatant too.

  302. 302 SteveH said at 2:16 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Bullshit late hit, the guy clearly put his knee into Vicks thigh.

  303. 303 Corry said at 2:16 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    We should be stomping the shit out of the Giants right now. My kingdom for a red zone offense…

  304. 304 Teehee said at 2:17 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    That would be great.

  305. 305 scratcherk said at 2:18 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Now, dont be greedy now. The defense only allowing 7 points is a small miracle

  306. 306 RichF said at 2:16 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    No question – you take the fg there, make it two possession game.

  307. 307 BC1968 said at 2:17 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    This Eagles team, for the last 10 years, is the best offensive team in history between the 20s.

  308. 308 Crus57 said at 2:17 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Kinda wish Brandon Jacobs had joined the Cowboys, then I could focus all my hate in one place.

  309. 309 BC1968 said at 2:18 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Surely you can spread the hate.

  310. 310 Crus57 said at 2:20 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It’s just so much less efficient this way, though.

  311. 311 Teehee said at 2:18 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    The largest example of twinkle toes ever.

  312. 312 SteveH said at 2:18 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Fletcher 3rd pass breakup today.

  313. 313 GEagle said at 2:19 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Come on Cary!!!!

  314. 314 SteveH said at 2:19 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I hate how poor our pass rush is today. The Giants have been horrendous at pass blocking for Eli and they are starting 2 backups on the interior, but we’ve barely gotten close to the QB. Very disappointing.

  315. 315 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:20 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Agreed. Very disappointing.

  316. 316 GEagle said at 2:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Curry can’t make plays from the bench

  317. 317 BC1968 said at 2:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Only 7 points is the best part at least.

  318. 318 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 2:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Today? It’s been absent all year.

  319. 319 Teehee said at 2:19 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Alright Eli, give us a pick six. Please?

  320. 320 BC1968 said at 2:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Does anyone else running to the bathroom during a commercial look over their shoulder and pretend they are catching a football?

  321. 321 SteveH said at 2:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I used to do a random Dawk celebration after coming back into the room after going to the bathroom.

  322. 322 Teehee said at 2:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I carry a football around the house and make jukes during commercial. Haha

  323. 323 BlindChow said at 2:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Do you say “McCoy!” while you do it?

  324. 324 Teehee said at 2:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yup, and my bookshelves look astonished.

  325. 325 Corry said at 2:25 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    My dogs have yet to tackle me.

  326. 326 BC1968 said at 2:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yeah cool, you gotta stuff like that

  327. 327 BC1968 said at 2:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Actually that was in reply to you guys.

  328. 328 scratcherk said at 2:21 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    any snaps for curry yet?

  329. 329 Corry said at 2:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I saw 75 out there a couple times. Don’t have a count for you though.

  330. 330 Corry said at 2:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    In fact he’s in there now at DT.

  331. 331 SeanofDead said at 2:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Eli is focused on Williams right now

  332. 332 scratcherk said at 2:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    good game by fletcher

  333. 333 RichF said at 2:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    as bad as our D has been our starting cbs are such an upgrade from last year…

  334. 334 livingonapear said at 2:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Fletcher is playing his ASS off.

  335. 335 Teehee said at 2:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Inserting Nnamdi or DRC into that sentence would make it invalid.

  336. 336 BC1968 said at 2:25 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Their asses too flat?

  337. 337 Crus57 said at 2:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nnamdi has no ass left. DRC is a complete ass.

  338. 338 Teehee said at 2:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    This.

  339. 339 SeanofDead said at 2:22 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nice coverage and pb by Fletcher

  340. 340 SteveH said at 2:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    FLETCHER! 4th pass breakup today!

  341. 341 GEagle said at 2:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    But fletch is just the rams 4th best CB…..lol

  342. 342 scratcherk said at 2:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Foles gold time

  343. 343 SeanofDead said at 2:29 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ooooo that smell…. Cant you smell that smell?

  344. 344 BC1968 said at 2:23 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    4 straight stops! Plus they put pressure on the QB this time! Ever since I said Steel Curtain.

  345. 345 Insomniac said at 2:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    and you guys were talking shit about the pass rush.

  346. 346 SteveH said at 2:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Curry had 2 pass rushes there, first time he bulled the OL back but got stopped about 2 yards short of QB, 2nd one was screen pass so not much to learn from it.

  347. 347 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 2:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    D does seem to be playing a bit better. Gmen look incompetent right now as well…

  348. 348 GEagle said at 2:24 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Pass rush is actually getting close except for when Eli throws quick slants…..the sacks will come in the 2nd half if we can score some points and make them play from behind….Giants get the ball at the half, that drive will be crucial for this defense

  349. 349 scratcherk said at 2:25 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Foles gold!

  350. 350 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Run the ball. Kill the clock. Get to half time. Nothing stupid, please

  351. 351 BC1968 said at 2:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    QB controversy

  352. 352 GEagle said at 2:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    St. Nick time!!! Whooooooo!!!!

  353. 353 scratcherk said at 2:26 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Eli is playing DL right now for the giants

  354. 354 BC1968 said at 2:27 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    We gotta hold on here and let Shady take this game over.

  355. 355 SteveH said at 2:27 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Tough break for Vick, random soft tissue injury.

  356. 356 BC1968 said at 2:27 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    They had good pressure on Eli last time, gotta keep that up

  357. 357 BC1968 said at 2:28 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ughhh see that duck by Foles?

  358. 358 scratcherk said at 2:28 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    its magnified by the comparision to vicks balls

  359. 359 Corry said at 2:28 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I think Foles could have run that ball out to Avant faster than he threw it.

  360. 360 BC1968 said at 2:28 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Vick still is faster than Foles.

  361. 361 BC1968 said at 2:29 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nice, drop and throw.

  362. 362 SteveH said at 2:29 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I think we should kneel it. This is risky trying to get this down the field.

  363. 363 SteveH said at 2:30 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Or I could be wrong, whatever.

  364. 364 Teehee said at 2:29 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I like how people want Foles to come in, and then immediately start complaining about his play.

  365. 365 RichF said at 2:30 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    who’s complaining, does he have an incomplete pass? He seems to be moving the ball admirably.

  366. 366 Corry said at 2:30 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Don’t confuse my comments for complaining. I’m just full of sarcasm.

  367. 367 Teehee said at 2:31 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I guess I took that wrong, haha sorry.

  368. 368 BC1968 said at 2:29 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Looking better as he goes along.

  369. 369 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:29 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It is really weird having all 3 TOs left with under a minute to go. Take me all season to get used it.

  370. 370 scratcherk said at 2:30 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    interesting clock management…

  371. 371 BC1968 said at 2:30 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    k they’re close to a FG

  372. 372 SteveH said at 2:31 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Thanks JPP!!

  373. 373 GEagle said at 2:31 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    folesy to ERTZY for the Td…I can smell it

  374. 374 SteveH said at 2:32 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Sweet throw!!

  375. 375 GEagle said at 2:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    St Nick leads us own field from our own ENDZONE!!!! Jolly ol st. nick….BAWLIN!!!

  376. 376 xeynon said at 2:36 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    That was. Absolutely beautiful touch on that ball, put it exactly where it needed to be.

  377. 377 BC1968 said at 2:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nice end to the half.

  378. 378 Teehee said at 2:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    AH! I like yards!

  379. 379 scratcherk said at 2:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    bad week to drop henery from my FF team

  380. 380 GEagle said at 2:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    i kept him! Lol

  381. 381 Corry said at 2:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I know a lot of people don’t like Foles, but I’m totally comfortable with him in there.

  382. 382 Teehee said at 2:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Nice drive.

  383. 383 RichF said at 2:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Really nice to know that we have such a competent back up when our starter is prone to not playing 16 full games.

  384. 384 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 2:33 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Foles has nice touch, and pocket awareness. Just a mediocre arm…

    Very nice drive with their back against the wall

  385. 385 RichF said at 2:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    agreed about the arm – his strength is he knows how to put touch on it to work with his limitation in pure strength. He can float it to where it needs to be.

  386. 386 SteveH said at 2:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Yeah if only his arm was a little stronger… What could be.

  387. 387 Crus57 said at 2:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Surely this is something time in the weight room can fix? Weight lifters manage to increase their arm power, after all.

  388. 388 Michael Winter Cho said at 2:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    It’s my understanding explosive power, applying strength instantaneously, is not easy to increase. In jumping or throwing, for example.

  389. 389 SteveH said at 2:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I think its possible, there are plenty of QB’s who have increased their arm strength over the course of their careers. A perfect example is Tom Brady. He didn’t have the cannon he has now when he came into the league.

  390. 390 xeynon said at 2:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Indeed. Every time I watch him play I think “it’s a shame this guy doesn’t have a stronger arm, because he has the other tools”. Of course, there’s a reason he wasn’t a first round pick.

  391. 391 shah8 said at 2:34 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    That was a decent drive by Foles.

  392. 392 GEagle said at 2:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Ya think? Lol

  393. 393 BlindChow said at 2:35 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Looked like a Kelly offense…

  394. 394 shah8 said at 2:37 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Definitely not. Very Shurmur, Browns era.

  395. 395 xeynon said at 2:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    For once I’m going to agree with you 100%. That was classic west coast. The problem with Foles is that I don’t think he can consistently hit the longer throws that will be necessary to keep defenses honest over the long term.

  396. 396 jshort said at 2:36 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    not bad against the giants second stringers….really though Vick was doing some amazing things

  397. 397 livingonapear said at 2:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Look, I loved watching Foles there, but let’s not give too much credit to a QB completing a lot of underneath routes in soft coverage.

  398. 398 jshort said at 2:38 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    ok

  399. 399 RichF said at 2:39 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    nobody is calling for him to be the starter I don’t think. But it’s nice to know that our backup isn’t a bum.

  400. 400 jshort said at 2:39 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    well put

  401. 401 Insomniac said at 2:39 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    They will come out after the game.

  402. 402 Crus57 said at 2:40 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Also refreshing to see a backup come in at short notice and play reasonably well. Rarely happened with Andy’s teams.

  403. 403 shah8 said at 2:44 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Backups playing well after they’ve just been inserted into the game is more a rarity than not. So Foles deserves the credit for having something out there. Saw the Tuel game…

  404. 404 livingonapear said at 2:40 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    True. But I was pretty sure he wasn’t a bum.

    Personally I’m hoping Foles looks great so I can yell out “We found our Tannenhill!”

  405. 405 GEagle said at 2:42 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Who would you rather have protect a lead in the second half? Vick or FOles? Great point by jimmy Johnson

  406. 406 Crus57 said at 2:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Foles if our OL can hold a block, Vick otherwise. Mostly our OL can’t, so..

  407. 407 GEagle said at 2:44 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    FOles can get the ball out quick

  408. 408 Crus57 said at 2:45 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    This assumes there is somebody open to get the ball to, quick 😉

  409. 409 shah8 said at 2:46 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    I would rather have Vick. Foles doesn’t offer advantages in ball security. Wonder if we’ll see lots and lots of runs in the second half. It all depends on how the Eagles defense plays.

  410. 410 Dr. Claw said at 2:43 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    That’s right, Foles. Just Weeden your way through this game. The Giants SUCK… even this defense can seem to stop them somewhat.

  411. 411 Crus57 said at 2:44 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    Turns out we don’t need to stop them when they stop themselves.

  412. 412 xeynon said at 2:45 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    “The electrifying Terrelle Pryor leads the Raiders into San Diego…”

    Give the NFL Network this, they aren’t afraid to be shameless in polishing a turd.

  413. 413 SteveH said at 2:47 PM on October 6th, 2013:

    This isn’t as big of a stretch as I’ve seen, Pryor has been surprisingly interesting. Now “the electrifying Blaine Gabbert”, that would be a bit of a stretch.
