PHI 17 , WAS 0 – 2nd Half
Posted: November 17th, 2013 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 606 Comments »Team looks terrific today.
Only concerns are health related. Shady left with hammy injury. Nick’s arm seems to be bugging him.
Shutout for 30 minutes means I’m halfway to a dream. Please let Christmas come early…
_
Thou shalt to mention shut out.
bah. i was going to post something saying “no one talk about it!” but i was afraid that would in itself jinx it. guess its too late now
My fault. I should have known better.
This game needs more Jeff Maehl.
T-Law:
I think 472 comments in a 1st half is an IgglesBlitz record.
Thanks for hosting.
Nick’s arm is bugging him? i missed most of the halftime show. what is this about?
when did they say that?
its in Tommy’s post above.
He has been swinging it around to loosen it up since the hit he took.
ahh ok. thanks. i didn’t notice that. throwing arm?
Yeah. He doesn’t grimace while doing it though so seems more an annoyance than anything serious.
I didn’t notice that either. He did get crushed a few times though so it would not surprise me.
Re: No McCoy and His injury
Kelly won’t even admit when players are missing limbs.
I doubt we’ll anything meaningful about McCoy.
Have to watch the field to find out.
____________
Now, we may get to see how Kelly’s running scheme works w/out those ankle-breaking cutbacks to the edge by McCoy
Shady helmeting up!
i just saw shady with his helmet on!
wow. 5 plays of 20+ yards already.
Holy Mccoy back in.
erin andrews with info!
McCoy looks jes fine.
Ok . . . McCoy’s the Smoothy King
They gave him a smoothie IV in the locker room.
was hoping to find an image of the Simpsons where Barney says “Plug it into my veins!” but no luck.
need more Cooper in this game.
and more cow bell
Nice slide.
who needs mccoy when you got the mad wheels of FOOOOLLLLLEEESSS!
Cut Ertz.
dont cut him!
Ertz with the stone hands…
Celek taught him that one.
Put in Casey
Don’t cut Ertz.
Hahaha
rofl.
Hahaha I was right there with you
ertzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Keep in Ertz
Making up for it there.
Wasted no time making up for it. Good job Foles still trusting him.
there’s some cooper!
Oh that’s weak!
damn. hands to the face on peters? that was pretty iffy…
wow, foles dragged down by the facemask and eagles get penalized.
Looked like the defender got his hand under his collar and not his facemask.
isn’t that exactly what Peters did to the defender? : P
Peters was pushing up under the facemask… Defender was pulling down under the collar.
Damn, thought that was going to be against thejm.
geez. how did mccoy find a hole to run through there?
i know mccoy’s looking really good, but id like to see some more b brown
Foles is playing so awesome today, making throws short, long, under pressure… just crazy.
GO FOR IT!!!
inches to go? punch it.
Go for it on 4th and inches. Do it!
GO FOR IT!
sneak it
2 of 5 on 4th downs this year? did we really miss it 3 times?
Yeah that shocked me.
OH YEAH!! Bury the Skins
Foles is on fire.
djax is playing very well today. love it.
You can’t stop Nick Foles. You can only hope Chip Kelly takes his foot off the gas.
offense is looking sharp
horsey time
So, how much should we give up to move up in the draft to get our franchise qb?
We should give up a chair. So he can sit in the room with the rest of the staff.
Loving the quick smart decisions
mccoy slow to get up?
all right nevermind.
hamstring does look good, SHAAAADDDYYY!!!
Ref must have McCoy on his fantasy team.
That was our longest TD drive of the year.
by yards or by time?
Time.
I love the fact that we don’t call 3 pass plays in a row when in the redzone any more. Or that stupid f’n shovel pass every knows is coming.
That was a TD. Should have challenged again. They need to get that fixed
Cooper crossed goal…..kelly says f it just run another play
WE WILL NOT CHALLENGE
no time for that shit
fire pat shurmer anyway
Ok, that was fun. I want to see Shady next to Vick for the rest of the game.
Foles is 5 yards on 3 completions short of having 3 TD passes — or thereabouts
Yeah its almost unfortunate because he’s playing a monster game, but stats might not reflect it like they should.
Still has a 111 rating.
really?! damnnnnnnn. i like it.
I don’t know man. It’s 21 points less than his season rating. Clearly, regression to the mean is occurring here. Better trade him now while his value is still high.
thats true, but i feel like at least one of those TDs should have gone to Foles (the cooper one is most recent thus comes to mind). i think that would boost the QBR quite a bit.
yea, but i dont care because he’s winning! keep it going!
lots of FF players must be pissed this week!
Shut. Out. Please.
With all due respect… Shut. Up. Please.
just win please
I believe the phrase you’re looking for is STFU.
Wow, people take their jinxes seriously around here.
Just having fun.
shhhhhhhhhhhhh!
You sold yet?
why did u have to say that
I haveFoles and Coop in one of my leagues. IT WAS A TD….Damn you challenge people.. Damn you I say. haha
It’s weird, in some of my games that would have helped in some it would have hurt, so I dont know how to feel about it haha.
I have Shady on that team also so I am OK with it. AS mentioned below, It would be nice for Foles to be getting the TD’s to help him out.
I just want the win no matter what. Mt FF teams can suck it if we win
Celek said to Cooper, “I got F***ed, too”
What about Foles?
And those Fantasy people.
And GEAGLE?
where is g
at the game, I believe.
An Eli commercial with the words “Be precise” and “Be powerful”. Haha the irony.
Yeah I bet they want THAT money back!
fuck eli and his two lucky as fuck sb wins
Nice ‘tude tackle by Roc
i really hope you said that in the connery voice
haha..
T. COLE!!!!!
COLE AGAIN! (but thornton did all the work)
TRENT MOTHERFUCKIN’ COLE
I hope you said that in the Connery voice.
hahaha touche
im impressed with bennie logan
second that motion
Trent Baby!!! You old blue tick hunting dawg.
http://nbcsports700level.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/mccoyflagthief_medium.gif
good to see this again!
like sharks
Defense is playing so well today. I love it.
Kurt Coleman with a play
Full moon?
Coleman with the FF? hmmmm
Must be our day if Kurt Coleman is making plays.
I think he just loves playing the ‘Skins. Remember his 3 INT day?
Kurt’s finest moment.
They are getting better and better
I’m sorry this game’s only going to be 60 minutes.
The Washington team could play the Eagles for 3 hours today and never get a whiff of winning.
time for a couple of 9 min drives on offense!
sav rocca wants nothing to do with djax
Holy, fox just changed the feed to the steelers lions game.
what the fuck? thats balls.
I’d be losing my mind.
The Steelers look like escaped bumblebee convicts
was that because they were convicted of negligence in that whole dolphin/tuna lawsuit?
this is why internet piracy exists. because cable companies screw us over every chance they get.
They’re switching the broadcast in SF because the Eagles are winning.
getting close eh Tommy? will it rain PBR when we get the shutout? or a pudding bath?
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! STOP IT
Loved the VC rub on RGIII. Intimidation and dominance. Glad he didnt draw a flag
tommy. Don’t get excited. The shutout is possible
oh man …just think it
c’mon man. really?
Why do I get a downvote????
People are worried about you jinxing it.
No, today is the day. 😉
Re: PREDICTION
The Eagles WILL be flexed back onto SNF this season.
Cardinals? Lions? Bears?
Oh My!
beat me to it
doh they switched over to detroit game up here boo
yep nyc too
Dammit! They switched in Cali too
Yeah i really wanted to enjoy this one.
luckily the central virginia market is still safe, probably bc this is redskins country
Time to get out of the game without getting any more injuries.
Owww . . . But SHanahan’s a genius
3rd and long after that sack. But they’re killing some clock.
Damn Fox just switched to the Steelers game on the West coast! They say that Chip has the game in the bag!
You guys are lucky. In Alabama we got Tampa-Falcons from the get-go.
yep missed the last drive. Saw the punt
I love the ‘Skins special teams.
damn. i really wanted to recover that fumble.
FU FOX. They switched the game to the Det game. Had to switch over to my Sunday Ticket feed
What the hell??? They switched me here as well!
M-f-ers!!!
whoa, Skins muffed the punt, but got it back
Wow, sure wish I could watch the freaking game.
RE: Night time football
With Kelly . . . it’s safe to predict tThe Eagles will be regulars on SNF and MNF for quite a while.
On the up side, I have to pay for NFL GamePass to be sure of watching the Eagles every week, so I still get to watch the game.
On the down side, that costs about $150 a season, not including offseason coverage.
People in the USA pays a lot for sunday ticket (and they do not get monday and thursday night games)
Fair enough. I guess the NFL has all of us exactly where they want us.
How come, me as an outsider has better rights when it comes to NFL games than Americans? I never get blackouts and I can watch what ever game I want, when I want
Economics? Probably less demand, so it’s given away more cheaply?
American anti-trust laws.
Actually, it’s an exemption Congress wrote into the A/T laws that allows the NFL to limit domestic content
For a liberal country you guys sure has a lot of non liberal laws
Money buys access.
The NFL owners have lots of money.
And therefore lots of access
YouTube sucks just as bad when it comes to that crap.
Would someone please cancel that Sleepy Hollow crap?
big catch and run for Garcon vs Cary. : /
On a slant.
Eagles with a 2 man rush
Curry is 2 men all by himself.
play this man more!
just my 2 cents to everyone who just lost the game – i use a slingbox, installed at my parents house. not the best of quality, but guaranteed to get me the game every week. : )
more detail later, Please
no problem – Slingbox is a device that you plug into a video source and it then sends that video over the internet. I have it hooked up to an extra cable box in my parents closet. they are in south jersey so it’ll always have the game.
the slingbox has a IR transmitter so you can control whatever it is connected to remotely.
i got this thing in college at rutgers when we tended to have the giants game over the eagles games.
The NSA has forwarded this comment to the FBI, who will be with you shortly.
thx im in the same position in va, they will always show the skins over philly and/or any other compelling game
I bought the Madden anniversary just to get the free Sunday Ticket over the internet. I played the game once.
sorry to sound like an idiot, but whats a slingbox?
Best game by Trent Cole in at least 3 years
anyone listening to the these guys on fox, “wow you really put a description on that!” hillarious
Nothing like a bunch of big sweaty men laying on top of you.
With no way out.
probably getting flashbacks of the hotel room last night
Someone needs to Storify Washington’s Twitter feed. No indication of the score.
More points please.
Foles, lol. Needs a wee bit of work on his blocking.
About as effective as Vick against San Diego. Clearly, QBs as a whole not spending enough time on blocking drills during practice.
2nd 3-and-out in a row.
Don’t like short yardage runs out of the Shotgun.
Call me old-fashioned
BlindChow –
Where in Alabama are you?
Huntsville.
Mrs. Baloophi hails from just north of Birmingham. We were in Huntsville last month for a wedding… I may have checked out the Space & Rocket Center…
You can see it from space!
That will mess with your head…
Eagles dialing it back too early again, seems to be a theme against washington.
COX BABY!
Glorious
Cox has the INT for real this time
or maybe not
Goode tip!
NOW COX HAS HIS FIRST CAREER INT!
nevermind
don’t you dare take this one away from him too!
They will
yea… : / sigh…
hehehe
sonuva. 3rd autoreplay to go against us this game?
Once again, Replay is proven unnecessary
Shurmur is killing us!
im with ya, fire him
BS. He had control of it, cough, cough.
thats the last time i hehehe
Replay is the worst…
meh. Getting sloppy now.
end of the q
damn fletch, nice tackle
washington wanting to run time
Barwin is the worst. How can he not see that blue line….haha
How do QBs ever get delay of game with that big countdown clock projected on the field in front of them?
4th quarter, Eagles up 24 – 0
Tommy…
like the talking heads said…our D stinks
Re: 4th Q
Time for Kelly, when the Eagles get the ball up 24-0, to devise a 13-minute drive.
Grey cloud:If the D keeps doing this, we’re never going to get to see how Foles responds to the pressure of keeping up in a high scoring game.
That may be what the playoffs are for.
Super Bowl…when we play the Broncos.
5 years from now when going for the “one for the thumb”
Fletcher Cox soon = Richard Seymour v.2001-2007?
oh the sentence almost made me shit my pants
i lied….hehehe
THEY GIVE IT TO SMITH AND THEY STOP EM AGAIN!!!!
The Miami Dolphins ’73 could run out the clock from the 50.
Can Kelly?
Griffen kinda sucks
Griffey Jr was better.
If Shurmur challenges this…
Only thing I dont like about this game is they’ve gotten too much pressure… but Kerrigan and Orakpo are good players.
15 MInutes until a shutout. Break two annoying streaks in a row!
14 minutes to Christmas, Tommy
i realize i’m just setting myself up for disappointment, but ….
commence 14 min + drive!
This is an awful offensive performance by the Redskins! Geez, can’t throw or run, or nuttin’.
RUN THE PLAY
i always love when the graphic comes up of what they gave up for griffin
Sure does seem like the offense is completely off the gas at this point.
yea…..
looking ugly
and pulled the e brake…
holy……… shit……. wowwwwwwwww
spin cycle
Circle button.
delicates setting
We’re getting sloppy. I know we’re up big, but want to put the dagger in these guys.
there was a lot of talk of “we learned our lesson last time we played these guys to not let off the gas” sooo….. we let off the gas again.
Yup. Too soon imo.
Injuries, timeouts, penalties is killing us, all gives stop in play
whoa, anyone else just get a watery effect on lynch’s voice there?
My stream is randomly adding a flange to peoples voices, its bizarre.
Wait. Wasn’t there a new rule about runners with the ball lowering their head? Not that I’ve heard it called all season long, but…
Never been called, not sure what it really is.
Foles just cant throw a td pass at home
the underrated part of that last run was he stayed in bounds to run the clock, the ‘ol 10 min offense
Babin ripped off another players hair today
https://twitter.com/Vincemarotta/status/402169474570129408/photo/1
ewww
Bryce looked like he didn’t know he was getting the ball there.
hmm. not sure i want them to go for it on 4th down there : / but hindsight and all.
HATE. SHORT-YARDAGE. RUNS. OUT. OF. THE. SHOTGUN.
god fucking dammit.
I second that remark.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
oh shit.
Disaster
why do you go for it there?? punt and pin their incompetent O back
sigh
hope cole’s alright
That’s why you don’t run 4th-and-1 out of the shotgun
I guess Patrick Chung finally hit someone…
funny, yet not funny
Yeah…
He really got landed on by Cole.
the worst part of this is that it makes RG3 look good.
that is awful
I blame GermanEagle.
let them right back in
4th down attempt looking worse and worse…
Why, We was in no mans land. Punt would maybe have netted 10-15 yards
Donnie has been punting very well today. there is a good chance he could pin them deep. or, at worst, you make them work an extra 15 yards or so.
granted, that play would have scored from 99 yards so it probably doesnt matter.
time for the offense to ramp up again
This will be a good test to see if they can do just that…
true story
of course they get the 2
Was that on Allen?
yeah, but looked like he might have gotten caught up in traffic on that bunch set.
He was blocked by a Redskins.
I don’t remember a 2-pt conversion defensed by BOTH safeties on the Eagles that well.
Silver Lining:Maybe this will get Kelly’s foot back on the gas.
Has he really let the foot of the gas or is the offense just not blocking well, taking penalties etc?
Well, that one was certainly on the blocking.
We have also had a few holding or similar calls
That TD pass by Griffin came because the DL lost pass-rush lane integrity.
It happened earlier in the game . . . and the seemed to stop from mid-2nd Q until that TD
Or RG3 just outjuked them like crazy. he was heading up field
Cox was totally out of his lane
Cox was inside guys, so doubt he had outside contain.
Griffin stepped up inside the outside rusher to where Cox was supposed to be . . . then broke outside
So Cox went inside and Griffin broke outside, again how did Cox have outside contain?
Cox didnt have outside contain.
He had tackle-lane contain.
And Cox moved toward the center instead of staying in his lane.
Man, I’m crashing my computer constantly with all the tornadoes and the game…
“Almost Human” is having a two night premiere… shouldn’t that be a zero night premiere?
we’re not that lucky.
foles’ first 3 qts have been…takes his shades off…almost human
Time to respond. Let’s go Nickfolean
We need to get aggressive.
c’mon peters.
spin cycle, again!
so nasty.
Super Cooper!
big first down
When’s the last 1st down we had?
Now
FFFOOOOOLLLLLLEEEEESSSSS!
foles is very opportunistic in his running.
Across body with a little heat. Nice
Foles should’ve used the McCoy spin move…
Foles going for his first 100-yard game.
ugh. mccoy runs backwards! damn.
happens every once in while with his style
When all the Eagles pop up after the fake count and look at the sideline I feel like I’m watching meerkats.
Visual…
The meerkat on the left is looking to the wrong sideline… idiot.
why am i still worried about this game?
because we let them hang around
You’ve watched more than one Eagles game before?
Perhaps you’ve seen Eagles games before.
because you’re watching a team from philadelphia
We let the foot off the gas too early on offense, shoulda gotten to 31 before we did.
we like to do this against skins
Because Kelly runs 4th and 1 plays out of the shotgun
Griffin needs to be defended on pass plays the way the Redskins, in the 1990 playoffs, defended Randall Cunningham.
The famous Mush Rush, with every defender staying in his rush lane.
No one running up field to bend the edge.
No DTs trying to cut inside the G/C gap.
Just stay in your lane and keep Griffin in the pocket.
Pretty simple stufff
Or do what we have done so far and hope we dont get burned by a fluke play?
Right.
Griffins ability to exploit a hole in the rush lane and scramble — like Vick, Luck, or Wilson, or Randall Cunningham — is flukey
Ok.
good stuff

No need to worry, Mr. Podacter. No icebergs this time of year, son.
“Captain Smith! Shall I keep an eye out for icebergs?”
trent has a possible concussion, that sucks
I like how Ryans always picks up the ball after it hits the ground. You never know.
damn. RG3 got hit pretty good on that one.
Hi-LO tackle it looked like
RG3 rushing = 40; Foles rushing = 40
bah. c’mon Roc.
COME ON DEFENSE!
most important drive of the game, c’mon D
Here is where lack of an Elite Pass Rusher hurts the Eagles . . . against a good QB throwing almost every play
ruh roh
i thought that ball hit the ground… wow
damn. maybe not.
It’s the opener all over again.
he pushed off
Yes, but it will never be called
Roc “Dmitri” Carmichael
Ha!
That’s what I’m calling Carmichael the rest of the year.
Just plain “DC” – Dmitri Carmichael.
big stop here D~!
Sigh
What the hell?
Smart timeout. Can’t recall the last time I thought that about the Eagles.
FUCK
Well, I bet Fox feels pretty good about switching games…
hah!
here we go again
Well, here we go…
w…t…f…
left them in this game slowed up in 2nd half gonna burn us
Chip got off the gas waaaay too soon again. Good lord.
now we need a drive like last week
If the Skins win, they will be all over ESPN this week. Come on Chip. Please don’t let that happen.
thats why ive limited my espn viewing to live sporting events and 30for30s
Put this game away!
4th down attempt looking even worse now…
Why? We was on the Redskins half of the field, but outside FG range.
You wouldn’t prefer to put them at least 20 yards back?
that TD would have gone for 99 if they had more room
Very true.
Would it have mattered consider how they scored on that series?
Well, you start getting into crazy hypotheticals no matter how you look at it. Had we downed a punt at their 1, maybe RG3 would’ve have been dancing around laterally in the end zone, etc.
I’m just saying that in beautiful, HD hindsight, you’d rather put them back further and maybe eat more clock. Suddenly field position matters a lot in this game.
Why are talking about us taking the gas off? Look at the 3rd quarter, we didnt fucking execute, nothing about gas. Problem is if you do not execute, speed does not matter.
We had to many penalties or negative plays in the 2nd half, nothing to do with speed.
Nah, we let up. Stopped throwing it.
Stop throwing has nothing to do with it. We just didnt execute the run plays. Too many holding or sacks.
Redskins get 2 TDs on 2 fluke plays. I doubt with Wolff and Fletcher in, they would get them
Agree to disagree.
Anyone wonder if Foles’ brain is a bit scrambled?
What are his stats since the Fletcher sack?
He hasn’t thrown hardly.
Pretty good I’d say.
Tommy asked for believing. Well, I cannot BELIEVE this.
playcalling has gone too conservative
all right offense. now is the time to earn your paycheck.
this offense just can’t fucking go slow
Foles uses every inch of that 6’6″ body.
Somebody gif that statue of liberty!
spot of the ball looks good. will it change?
Shanahan challenges plays.
get up to the line and run a play
Who on this blog supports Replay?
This will be a tough challenge, spot-wise.
Will we go for it again? Shotgun run?
i like to think that 99% of the time, we can pick up a few inches on a running play.
To AC’s earlier point, anything out of the gun is tough sledding on 4th and 1
Bill O’Brien needs to talk to Kelly about the genius of the QB sneak.
hes short
If he’s short its by inches.
Ugh. We’re really going to lose, aren’t we?
nope
come on man, positive mental attitude
Feels just like the Detroit game last year
Re: Eagles’ Offense
I think Anders captured it: Lack of execution that was there earlier.
Maybe the Redskins did something different.
But Anders is right, no question.
TENSE
aaaaaaand we’re punting.
lots of teachable moments for Chip in this game…hope he learns not to slow the pace so much
how about not slowing the pace until we have a lead of 30 or less than 10 min left in the 4th qtf
lolEagles
what an awful 2nd half
OK Billy. Game is on you now.
What is Shady yapping about?
what a clutch punt
DAAAAAAAAAAAMN Donnie!
Clutch.
That was a beauty of a punt.
time for a safety
DONNIE FUCKING JONES!!!! 70 fucking yards, shades of cunningham
All right defense. time to do your jobs now!
time for a pic
Carmichael getting picked on
Washington will absolutely score here
Trent Cole back on the field?
Will Smith Defense!
That was another Goode play!
C’mon, big stop here defense!
rocky music, lets do this
come on D!!
goode job.
i see what you did there
goddammit. c’mon defense
can’t give him that much time
RG4Q
nate allen was late over the top, got lucky on that one
So tired of penalties
Hooray zebras!
wow. its not on us!
oh shit
I get that Boykins really good in the slot.
But maybe it’d better to have Dmitri Carmichael in the slot and Boykin outside.
Thankfully other teams have dumb players
garcon should join the wwf
all right defense. big stop here.
3rd & 25. I’m still nervous.
Yep.
Drag route!
anything but a penalty for a first down.
They’ve still got 2 downs to pick up that 25.
Only needed 1.
God almighty, the Eagles are aging me by the minute.
Drink some whiskey, that will age well.
Thanks, good idea!
Were you to cut me open, you’d find over 240 rings. Sadly, none of them would be Super Bowl rings.
That was bizarre by Garcon, he rode that way too long.
i’m not sayin nothin till after this play
3rd & 25 . . .
Watch for the “Donnie Avery Special” with Moss running shallow after all the other WRs clear out the field
no
The defense is going to keep letting teams back into the game as long as they have the “bend, but don’t break” strategy. I’m fine with it this year because the Eagles don’t have many talented defensive players, but they need to change their strategy next season.
Unreal
Yep.
oh poop
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT WHAT IN THE HELL
Oh. My. God.
Whew, was worried about interference.
Shiat.
need to put pressure on griffin, not this 3 man bullshit
woww. i do not like the fact that patrick chung is covering anybody that far downfield.
Agree.
I like that he turned to face the ball.
really wish we had more CBs instead of 17 Safeties…
We need a sack.
We need a turnover.
Boykin? Mankin!
nice
Boykin!
Really, Boykin should be outside at CB
COX
Are you serious
what a joke
Bade.
“prior to the pass”?!?!? THERE WAS NO PASS
this is a goddamn nightmare.
Give that man an Oscar.
Step up D.
This is why being an Eagles fan sucks,
I’ve never seen Chip be a pushy jerk to his players. Now would be the time. There’s got to be some urgency.
Barwin forced fumble in RZ looming huge
That was an OH CRAP he is getting a sack. I have to throw a flag.
We’re going to lose this damn game.
Terrible
I miss Bradley.
this is why i wish we had a better CB than Roc Carmichael…. sigh.
They need better contain.
COME ON DEFENSE!
This is what playing a good QB looks like
Exactly . . . a good QB.
OMG what the hell was that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s what beating a good QB looks like.
hehehehehehehe
MANKIN!
OMG YES
Yeah, I knew we’d win.
BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYKIN!
Just scared the poop out of the dog!
give him a couple treats
or to many treats in the 1st half
HANDS OF THE GODS BOYKIN!!!!!
its over
my heartache just subsided
There really is a Santa Claus.
game, blouses
RGIII with his Michael Vick impression.
Romo.
Give me another please. My glass is empty!
How big was that Donnie Jones punt?
Excellent point.
Excellent punt.
Nice work, Fox!
Sure glad fox switched to the “better” game.
Seriously. I was so freaking pissed. We still had time in the third when it switched…..
shades of favre in the divisional playoff game
lucky
My god, that last drive was brutal…
this game was 1000 times more stressful than the first match
This is what it would have been like if they’d recovered that onside kick.
i believe it is a matter of great expectations
SUUUWEEEEEEET!!!!!!
STORYLINE:
Sacks are great.
But PRESSURE is more important.
We just saw why
Agree, BS holding calls are also terrible
Yes!
way too many penalties on us in that game!
and the worst was sooooooooooooooooooo BS. Thrown after the play was over and the WR just fell down.
Whew!I know some don’t agree, but I’m pretty fixated on the dialing it back in the 3rd issue. I really hope I never see that again.
It’s just what we do against Washington, we crush them for 3 quarters and then its a race to the finish line.
be honest, Im more focused on the terrible execution. We showed last week and against Tampa that tempo shouldnt be a problem if we execute well.
Fletcher Cox is the player of the game!
Honorable mention to Boykin. Some big passes defended, downed a punt at the 2 and game winning INT.
that’s goode
The thought of handing (footing?) the ball to Henery in OT was frightening…
yeah, plus the fact that we know kelly is comfortable with trotting him out for 60yds
Off topic, but why are the Steelers dressed as the Wimbourne Wasps?
Fox thought their uniforms were more interesting than the entire WAS-PHI game.
I thought is was the Hamburgler
Between Mrs. Baloophi’s Auburn Tigers and this game… yowza.
WAR EAGLE!
WAR IGGLE!
hahahaha nice
That was an awesome game.
It was insanity. I mean after the miracle, there was an entire “Eagles meltdown” drive to make it through…
Auburn-Alabama is going to be a great game this year.
Every gray I have is because I’m an Eagles fan.
egg there bus out of town too
A loss there would’ve ruined Turkey day for me.
Whew- a win.
Tommy, you starting to blog in Russian?
Sunglasses, now this. What’s up with that?
there is some html in russian in there. no idea what it is, my guess is ads or malware or something. Chrome always wants me to translate…
Most likely an ad.
I get that Cyrillic stuff when I’m running XP and trying to see disqus. Never get in on my Windows 8 machine. Could be in disqus…the Russians reading this sh!t!.
RE: The Road ahead
Cardinals and Lions?
Good to really good QBs on the horizon.
Should be great tests for this team.
Looking forward to the challenge
They really need the bye.
Cardinals will be a big test, tho they did allow 14 points to the fucking Jags.
Lions is scary, but right now losing to a terrible Steelers team
Eagles now lead the NFCE?
yes, and thats fucking nuts
By a half-game, but we haven’t had our bye week yet.
Good win today.
What happened to Offense after mid-3rd Q?
__________
Next up after the bye week . . . good QBs on the horizon.
And AZ — with their defense (h/t Anders) — is for real.
They just look unhsharp. Got beat upfront in the run game and we had too many negative plays in terms of sacks, negative runs or penalties.
Also, couldnt seem to buy a first down. Had several drives stopped just short of the first down marker.
A —
Thoughts on *consistently* getting 1 yard on inside runs out of the shotgun.
No clue. While Foles got some yards on the option, you could really see his limit.
A more mobile guy would have burned the Skins for over 100 yards on the ground.
Agree with that.
Foles is making good decisions.
But I still think Kelly’d *prefer* someone more mobile . . . and he might even trade the more occasional bad decision than Foles makes for the threat presented by those legs.
That is why I still think he takes Manziel in the 1st if he is there.
After watching Manziel v. Saban in September, I thought that he’d be a great pick.
Troy Aikman, in the FWIW column, said earlier today on CBS radio that his impression (including after being around the team last week in GB) is the Eagles will make a move to jump up in the draft to get a mobile QB.
I like Foles a lot. He’s good in this system.
But I believe — and I think you do as well — that Kelly believes a more mobile, *young* QB would have even greater success.
Why won’t Laurie let the Eagles wear Kelly Green?
The Rooney family lets their team look like bumblebees.
Or is that prisoners
A comment on where his QB should be playing?
was thinking that when i first saw that…how fitting Ben in stripes
Last time we wore Kelly green most of our starters got injured, including Weaver’s career-ending calamity.
Before today, last time we wore mid-night green at home we lost 10 straight
Odd. I thought for sure when the whole GameDay crew picked us we were doomed. Things really are changing around here.
over 1000 posts during game
Any word on what the spat between McCoy and Cooper on the sideline was about?
Mccoy didn’t appreciate Cooper taking some of his funyons without asking permission first.
RG3 44 yrds. 4.4 avg.
NF 47 yrds. 5.2 avg
Huh?
This will definitely be a good week for a bye. Lets get healthy!
Eli Manning has more INTs than Foles has TDs. 🙂
