PHI-TB Inactives

EAGLES INACTIVES
OL Matt Tobin
OL Dennis Kelly
TE James Casey
TE Emil Igwenagu
DL Damion Square
CB Shaun Prater
CB Jordan Poyer
The shocker there is James Casey. We thought he’d be a key offensive player, but now he’s inactive. I do think the matchup hurts him. Tampa has good LBs. You don’t want them going against a bunch of TEs. You’d rather go with 3 WRs and get extra DBs on the field. Still, this isn’t a good sign for Casey. We’ll talk about that this week.
Huge news for Tampa. WR Mike Williams is inactive. He led the team with 2 TDs. LG Carl Nicks is also out.
* * * * *
Everyone fired up for gameday?
_
Reuben Frank just tweeted that James Casey is banged up and was limited in practice this week.
He was listed on the injury report. One hour to go…go birds!!!
Still, odd that they are just activating Vick with no intention to use him. Or is that really the case? DUN DUN DUN
He’s their emergency QB, since Casey is out. Maybe they’ll stick him in on kneel-downs…
soo…at this rate Jamse casey is going to make 450K a catch lol
nice work if you can get it
Watch Russell Shepard light us up today…
Im calling this a big test. This is the best defense they have seen so far this season. They are also incredibly one dimensional on offense: Run over and over to set up PA to V.J. They have not had success, but they have a philosophy. Can this defense stop the plan of their opponent that is clear as day?
I expect a close game all the way. I am feeling victory, but am much more nervous than it seems most are.
What’s the point? Don’t get Kelly sometimes…
So Vick is active? We’re totally pulling a page out of Northwestern’s play book and playing Vick at WR while Foles takes snaps at QB!
I’m very nervous that Tampa has a few surprises for us coming off of a bye week. Expecting flea-flicker, reverses, etc.
game time!
Ill take the start. great playcall
Did McCoy look slow on that run? Maybe it was just the stream I was watching…
looked intentional was following blockers
that was my thought as well. he had 2 OL out there with him. gotta follow the big guys.
I mean after that, once he cut left. Looked like was jogging, almost…
I think he ran out of gas. Plus, he’s not exactly a burner.
LOL Riley Cooper is effing PUMPED to get that first down. its his first catch in a while…
“White QB! Better make him look good!”
Like I said! FOles would get Riley involved
and a catch for Damaris too. first time i’ve seen his name on offense.
Damaris Johnson sighting!
LOL!!!
hahahahahahahaha Folezzzzz!!!
no fucking way. a QB draw with foles. no one saw that coming.
Jolly O l ST Nick!!!!!!! Vick who?
Wow. Now that was an excellent opening drive!
Brilliant! Kelly is killing it so far.
Is this the 1st half open thread, then?
nice drive!
Only bad play was a latish throw to Ertz.
yea what happened on that throw? looked like Foles sidearmed it. was it just late or was it off target?
It looked like it landed right in Ertz’s hands, but he couldn’t bring it before it was knocked away. I think the throw was late.
late.
Remember me hating on long deliveries? If you ain’t Byron Leftwich, and even if you are, long deliveries can be a killer.
Our first opening possesion scoring drive. I love the uptempo short passing game. Glad they went back to it this game.
The offense was surgical with Nick under center…Keep it up boys!!!!
It was very Duckie GEagle!
DEFENSE!!! defense!!! DEFENSE!!!!
I really hope it’s all touchbacks for Henery today. I’d hate to see a kick return kill our chances today…
Best drive all year! I’m a Vick starter guy, but you can’t argue that first drive. Let’s see.
Schiano was pretty idiotic, as usual. Lots of schemed open WRs sitting in the zones.
He clearly has no idea how to put his defense in a position to succeed as confirmed by their dreadful pass defense so far this year.
pass defense is good, because of excellent talent. However, scripted plays busted Schiano tendencies something hard.
Fletcher with a strong start
did he have the earlier break up too?
Yes
Brad already with two PBUs
Great start for the D. Fletcher is on pace for a million PBUs.
3 and out! Super Bowl bound baby! Oops lol
And the gameplan vs the Bucs offense shows up quickly too.
Who did their homework last night? Schiano or Kelly?
Chip with the beautiful underneath calls, everyone was wide open. Talking about the Eagles’ offense.
Why are they picking on Fletcher? Do they see “24” and think, “Hey, it’s Nnamdi!”?
I LOLed
whattttttttttttttttttttttt
That was a facepalm and a half.
Well, if our defense can’t lose the game for us, SOMEONE has to…
looks like a fumble to me : (
Revis should be down by contact
Yup
Unreal
2012!
Yeah really. Geez, I thought we might relax into a nice win today, damn it.
Chip Kelly with a double barrel middle finger to the world by calling the Nick Foles QB draw for TD. #eagles by Jordan….lol
*sigh*
i know that passing defense is going to tighten up later. We cannot afford these turnovers.
I talked about not making this game harder then it needs to be….WTF shady!!!
the refs call it the way mike pereira does! weird!
That’s a break. With their lousy offense the 40 is a lifetime.
No problem. Boykin pick 6 the other way. Here we go.
Bail them out defense!!!!! DEFENSE!!!!
ugh…. desean needs to hold that block a little better than that!
Damnit, had a chance to really demoralize them had we not turned to ball over and gone down for a score.
Bwahahahaha
thank god–Glennon is shit!
kendricks wasnt in the area so no FR for us. lol
Swarm defense swarm
Ker-CHUNG!
Great pursuit by Chung, but he looks hurt.
Yeah he was a bit slow getting up.
Nice run blitz by Billy Davis..Chung executes….let’s see Nate do that Anders lol
Ryans hanging on for dear life there.
Meco!!!! Watch the fake fg
There goes Tommy’s shutout again.
all right. 3 points after a turnover. i’ll take it.
Not a disaster
Good hold by the D, but the offense can’t give Tampa extra opportunities.
Yep,could’ve been worse, but it’s nice to know their offense is going to struggle even if they start at the 40. Hopefully that keeps up.
Can’t stomach losing the turnover battle against this slop of an offense
We need a nice drive here to wash that crap taste out of their mouth.
Fly swatters
Ertz caught a non-first-down. Cut him.
That Vincent Jackson guy…probably a guy you want to cover. Just sayin’.
Woot!
Sweet. He wasn’t even close to outside the picket.
Intentional Grounding should be counted as a sack.
must have been good coverage on that play… TB had ages to get rid of that ball!
Is Dick Stockton a zombie or just a ghoul?
djax punt return………. no return : /
Probably picked up 10 extra yards making them kick out of bounds.
Philly D was my sneaky pick for the week for FF. Dont fail me now…
yeah, we’re going to win the game because Glennon sucks.
And I’m hungry like a Woooooolff!!!!
A screen sighting with a fast tempo….look at that
3 & out? ugh…. come on birds!
sigh. ST hurting us once again : /
why are eagles allergic to STs
first couple of games this season, we were all singing the praises of coach Fipp. wonder what happened…
Too many breakdowns in protection
Ugh. Here we go again?
We are really doing a fantastic job keeping Tampa in this game.
Take that sack! omg, that was lucky! But please just take that sack when shit comes down the creek.
chung is down again. crap.
Chung’s shoulder is done!!!
Another week where the online struggles with protection especially blitzes. For a supposed strength before the season, thru have been real disappointment to me so far.
Looks like he came back too early from the shoulder injury.
And bad special teams play betrays us again…
Put up 7pts per quarter and we win
so what is Chip’s counterpunch to all these weakside blitzes? dial up the screen game?
McCoy fumble took all of the momentum away from the Eagles. Interesting to see the EAGLES ran more plays last year under Reid.
St won’t improve til we turnover the depth of our roster with draft picks
guess Chung wasn’t hurt too bad since he’s back in the game
ugh. defense is letting us down against Tampa!?
chung bit HARD on that play fake
Defense is the least of our let downs thus far…I blame shady, Oline protection and ST more then the defense
Tampa’s offense is bad, but if you’re going to let them start near + territory, they’re going to take advantage.
More pathetic zone coverage across the middle of the field. This defense is soft and lacks talent everywhere.
Yeah, soft zone in the red zone. Great job.
This game looks like it’s going to be painful. And it started so well…
Offense needs to adjust. it looks like Tampa is sending an extra man pretty frequently.
Alright, time to answer. Try blocking some guys in the pass game and stay run heavy.
We stop it with TOs and bad ST play, we win. Defense has played well actually. Can’t fault them when we give them starting field position at our own 40 twice in one quarter.
We really shouldn’t be giving up easy passes into the center of the field, where it’s easy for a bad QB to be accurate. Press WRs to the outside, where the sideline hurts bad accuracy.
Chip needs to dail up plays that make them pay for their aggression
So frustrating to watch the shittiest olines impose their will on this front 7.
ST strikes again.
Does Damaris just run into the largest crowd he can find?
It’s like the gravitational pull of all those bodies sucks him in.
He sucks. Constantly makes poor decisions.
I hate Damaris as a KR.
wtf was that throw to cooper? come on foles.
good read, bad throw
Wonder if that was inaccuracy or miscommunication.
Everytime I hear them call “Cooper” I think of Baseketall
there you go coop!
The offensive line is playing like this is their first game together.
the OL needs to get their shit together.
The OL is killing me right now.
Vick sucks lol
Where are the screens? You’re allowed to run a play more than once.
Who is calling the adjustments at the line? General confusion so far.
yea its like they are just letting some guys through the line. i dont understand it…
wtf was that?
Wow, that first drive is a distant memory.
This is not a surprise. All of the passes in the first drive were schemed open, and not normal scan and throw stuff. Once the schemes play out, Foles has to be a starting level QB, and he’s not there. And now the run game is becoming fraught with the Tampa DL not being afraid of the pass (or the QB scramble).
i think its more a matter of the OL losing the battle at the LOS.
That’s a function, in part, of the DL playing without much need for restraint.
This is gonna get ugly.
Nah…we will settle down. FOles is playing well, guys will do their JObs sooner or later
Really been umimpressed how this team comes out in the 1st half. Played in a mental fog way too much early on.
Ok, Normal field position here. Get the ball back quick and give us field position this time D.
My mastiff Fletcher Cox just barked!!! Lol
He’s a mean bastard.
Finally some pressure.
Eagles got their Cox in Glennon’s face!
one of those tipped balls will find their way into the right hands.
The Eagles have stalled ever since the turnover.
As for Foles, great first drive… ever since, largely off target and with some moves (that almost-sack) would have been subject to high amounts of scrutiny about “not reading defenses” were he the other QB on this squad…
Has there been a Curry sighting yet?
That’s what the second half, playing with a lead is for
Might have been a good time for DJ to return that punt if youre going to use him..
Run up the field. Johnson pisses me off as the KR/PR. Poor decisions and a lack of speed are a poor combo.
Finally!
High level of difficulty on that screen. Good job.
There’s a TE conspiracy going on.
Well, there’s your adjustment. You wanna blitz? We’ll screen you to death until you stop.
Man, I guess the book on McCoy is he fumbles when you flip him, so now every time he carries the ball…
NICE TD!
2-2 in the redzone.
There you go! 2/2 in the red zone!
Desean Red Zone TD! Against Revis!
I get annoyed every time I see Brown run straight for the sideline
Someone said a TD a quarter will win the game. So far, so good.
Thank you
Too slow old man with no S help.
Pump fake by Foles. Well done DJax!
i’m not saying that i’m helping the team win, but the offense played much better as soon as i put on pants.
i think we’re on to something here.
i should start every game in my underwear and slowly put on additional clothing every time we need some momentum.
find more clothes for the second half
additional clothes pending: socks, shirt, sweatshirt (its cold in here and i refuse to close the window)
Two football player gestures I hate: the finger wag, and the scooping the cereal.
Big time throw there by Foles, right on the money.
Good TD pass!
Vick SUCKS!!
.. Riley can’t get open, Desean can’t play in the RZ, we can’t run without Vick, we need to draft a QB……..FUCK outta here!!! FLY Folesy fly!! Worry about drafting some help for the QB!!!!
Still early. Things can still fall apart.
If you can do it once, you can do it again
Stupid comment.
Let’s get a turnover!!! D-E-F-E-N-S-E
Ugly ugly game for the O-lines. Would you rather get your QB killed or by oenalties?
C.
C’mon D! Keep momentum on our side.
Barwin was held…they better not flag us
Same wavelength.
YES. I was just about to complain about them getting away with a hold on Barwin, that I really wasn’t too sure about anyway. 🙂
No hewas held for sure…the guy let go tho
lol i bet Cary thought the flag was on him
Lurch ambles forward for a gain!
Tony Romo is going to have a field day sitting in the pocket next week.
It’s getting kind of BLAND..bust out a lil Curry for favor!!!!
curry is out there, just missed glennon on that first down run
Yup…I thought he was about to make a play so I typed that.. Jinx. Put myself in the bathroom
guh. come on defense!!!
Wow. Just…wow.
Love to see the Eagles defense on say 3 and 7+ and how they stack up vs league so far. Too many big plays.
It looked like Kendricks got his head around and saw Glennon…then decided to keep covering even though Glennon was already 5 yards beyond the LOS.
Can we not put Coleman put in for Allen?! At least he hits people.
Preach
You cannot let this team drive the length of the field on you like this. Ugh.
This is a sorry display by the defense.
This is just sad.
Wolff saved us…let’s see if we can hold for 3
Who was the guy that called Doug Martin slow and talentless?
Silly man, Nate Allen wouldnt have tackled him.
No way..that wasn’t bad coverage
This pass rush sucks so bad. I fucking hate this defense
Only our defense could make this offense look good.
Seriously…
We were saying similar things this exact time last week..long game. Did you expect it to be easy?
Against Mike Glennon and the Tampa Bay Bucs? Yes. I think this is the worst offense in the league.
Maybe we’re seeing the birth of a good QB in Glennon.
No we’re not. That drive was a demonstration of a terrible pass rush after the first two or so drives.
The worst offense is on pace to score 34 points today. LolEagles
Where are all the Cox lovers?!
The Cox lovers? Whoa slow down there!
Even crappy teams can drop 30 pts on this defense as long as they don’t turn the ball over. This defense is just piss poor in almost every aspect.
More crummy protection from Johnson. Been a disappointment so far.
Folesy has really held up well considering all the pressure they got on him. Impressive
The one good thing about Vick you have to admit is that he neutralizes the pass rush.
What?
Oh that’s right, he wouldn’t escaped and made any runs against this defense. LOL What a joke.
This defense? As in the defense giving up 18pts a game that shutdown the saints?
Ok, Vick would’ve never made it out and the run option would’ve never been there. You guys are right, it’s the same exact game when Vick is in there.
Mike Glennon looked like Vick!
There have been games where Vick is under constant pressure as well.
Every time Vick has a bad game while under pressure, we hear, “Yeah, but imagine how bad it would have been if we had the statue Foles back there.”
Well, I’d say Foles fared quite well under quite a lot of pressure. Better than Vick usually has.
Bullshit, he ran out of a 3th and 24 last week that Foles wouldn’t have. I’m not even saying Vick is the better option, people want to have their minds made up.. Foles has been way better in the red zone so far.
More plays have been there for him, though. No holding penalties, no drops, etc…
Foles is making the plays he should make.
Of course, so moronic that people think there are no good points to Vick’s game even if Foles may be the better option. Geez you can’t say anything good about Vick to these wackos.they go crazy.
Glendon made 3 decent throws that half but had had all day to throw or room to scramble. Poor 1st Hal for the DL again. Lack of talent there is the mist glaring weakness the Eagles have
As long as they don’t turnover the ball in the 2nd half they have a shot to wjb.
This is the first lead the Bucs have had in 5 games.
Didn’t they lead in the fourth quarter in three of their games?
Oops, I meant first lead AT THE HALF.
Looks like I was wrong anyways. Tommy said they’ve had a lead at the half for 3 of their 4 games. the Fox halftime show misled me.
Tampa has tied their season high for points in a game… in the first half.
And FOles scored in one half what drew Brees did against them in an entire game
I think the D started off pretty well. Gave up some points set up by a turnover and a big return. But Glennon really started finding a rythm and picking us apart in the second quarter. Really sad.
We get no pass rush from Cole who occupies the main pass rush position…graham got a little pressure on Glennon, but he is chilling on the bench cause Cole is getting paid…sigh….draft Barr!!!
Cole is playing?
Apparently
2nd Half thread open.
I’ve ripped Bradley Fletcher in the past but he looks legit today. Maybe he is the real deal.
Where has Celek been all day?
