MIN 17, PHI 9 – 2nd Half

Posted: December 15th, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 893 Comments »

For the 2nd week in a row, an NFC North team has an 8-point halftime lead on the Eagles. Last week they outscored the Lions 34-12 in the 2nd half. I think I could deal with another explosion like that this week.

The Vikings offense hasn’t been stopped. Missed FG, TD, FG, TD. The Eagles defense must stop them on 3rd down. The Eagles are moving the ball. They just aren’t getting enough possessions.

Eagles get the ball back to start the 2nd half. Really important to go get some points, preferably a TD.

    This has been a frustrating game.

  2. 2 ACViking said at 2:30 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    An aside . . . Kaepernick moving left threw 65 yards on a line to Vernon Davis for a TD.

    Impressive.

  3. 3 Baloophi said at 2:32 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Literally an aside.

  4. 4 ACViking said at 2:35 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I said it was!

    Just damned impressive. Better than anything I saw the first 30 minutes.

  5. 5 Baloophi said at 2:37 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I was trying to make a funny… as in, he threw it from his aside.

  6. 6 Mike Flick said at 2:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I think Foles has been reading this blog, and wanted to do a 4th quarter comeback so that Tommy will like him.

  7. 7 Mike Flick said at 2:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Not that it is all Tommy’s fault. But just mostly

  8. 8 OregonDucker said at 2:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Time to see if the Eagles are ready for the Playoffs or just a pretender.

  9. 9 Crus57 said at 2:32 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Either way, not bad for Chip’s first season with a 4-12 team.

  10. 10 ACViking said at 2:32 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That’s a BINGO.

  11. 11 ACViking said at 2:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Penalties have hurt the Eagles.

    1 self-inflicted.

    1 a seeming phantom.

    Could be 17-13. Should be 13-13.

    ___________

    On that double reverse, someone has to have told Foles “Do Not Block Low”. If not, that’s a coaching failure. Just my opinion.

  12. 12 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:32 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Have to give Cassel some credit here. He’s moved well, made some plays, took some hits, and kept them moving the chains.

    That said, some professional level safety play from the Eagles would be nice.

  13. 13 Mike Flick said at 2:32 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    His completion percentage went down a lot after the Logan hit.

  14. 14 A_T_G said at 2:33 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    … from 100%

  15. 15 Insomniac said at 2:33 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Gotta save Trash Can Jr for the playoffs though.

  16. 16 BobSmith77 said at 2:33 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Does Cassel throw for ~400 yards today and Vikings put 500+ yards on this defense?

    Hell, if I am the Vikings I max protect if necessary and continue abusing these safeties over the top. See if Davis and the scrubs at safety for the Eagles can stop me. Keep them honest with a couple of bubble/WR screens and plays out of the backfield.

  17. 17 Crus57 said at 2:34 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    We kicked one FG in the first quarter, 2 FGs in the second. It’s pretty obvious we will kick 3 in the 3rd and 4 in the 4th.

  18. 18 ACViking said at 2:34 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Need to see more twists up front from the D-line.

    Someone’s gotta get loose and layout Cassel w/ ball in hand.

  19. 19 Baloophi said at 2:34 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    He’s slippery.

  20. 20 RobNE said at 2:35 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    You didn’t like give cassel time and play soft zone?

  21. 21 BobSmith77 said at 2:34 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Love to see what this offense could do with a real threat out of the slot. It is painful to watch Avant who has nothing left from a speed perspective.

  22. 22 Baloophi said at 2:34 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Beware the onside…

  23. 23 Baloophi said at 2:35 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Also, beware the touchback….

  24. 24 Always Hopeful said at 2:35 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Lord no please!

  25. 25 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:35 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Here we go. Bomb to DJax, 2 point conversion and we’re good to go.

  26. 26 ACViking said at 2:35 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Why even put anyone back on the kickoff

  27. 27 Baloophi said at 2:36 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Looks to me like the middle of the field is there for the taking…

  28. 28 GEAGLE said at 2:36 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Party bout to begin!!!
    ..
    Edit.. Ok…

  29. 29 ToastJenkins said at 2:36 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    come on Nick you gotta get rid of that

  30. 30 Baloophi said at 2:36 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That was a much slower version of a Vick play…

  31. 31 Iskar36 said at 2:36 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Gotta throw that one away at that point.

  32. 32 scratcherk said at 2:36 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    wow held on way too long…

  33. 33 Insomniac said at 2:36 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Just throw the damn ball away

  34. 34 Andy124 said at 2:37 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Bad decision.

  35. 35 Andy124 said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Follow by a bad throw.

  36. 36 BlindChow said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    He’s certainly making it rain in my household.

  37. 37 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:37 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    ugh

  38. 38 ToastJenkins said at 2:37 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    looks more like the AR offense at this point…

  39. 39 BlindChow said at 2:37 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chip saw something in the secondary he thought he could exploit.

  40. 40 ACViking said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Foles didn’t see the same thing.

  41. 41 GEAGLE said at 2:39 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Imagine how we can exploit the after we pound shady 3 times and dial up play action.

  42. 42 anon said at 2:40 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    the fact that they have no one back there

  43. 43 Corry said at 2:37 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is not looking good.

  44. 44 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    argh. hate giving up field position like this!

  45. 45 GEAGLE said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    See I don’t like that…force feed shady time, play action. Boom, we party!!!

    Let’s go D!!!

  46. 46 Baloophi said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Foles and Avant seem to have no chemistry. Didn’t they last year?

  47. 47 Andy124 said at 2:39 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I don’t recall. I know he had great chemistry with Maclin.

  48. 48 ACViking said at 2:39 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    JA was his security blanket last year.

    But that was Reid’s offense.

  49. 49 anon said at 2:39 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    foles to avant riley to vick?

  50. 50 Pennguino said at 2:40 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yea, last five games Avant was picking up the yards. NO TD’s but was the go to guy last year.

  51. 51 ACViking said at 2:40 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Avant had 53 receptions last year.

    Won’t get close to that this year

  52. 52 RobNE said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Foles killed us

  53. 53 Griffins22 said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Now I’m worried.

  54. 54 anon said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    wow, imagine if vick was performing like this — hate to see what that’d look like.

  55. 55 A_T_G said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    …again.

  56. 56 Andy124 said at 2:40 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If Vick was completing 63% of his passes with almost 200 yards total offense and no turnovers early in the 3rd? I think his knob would be getting slobbed.

  57. 57 Baloophi said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Did we dress any RB’s?

  58. 58 anon said at 2:39 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    vikings have the worst secondary in the league but a good d line…

  59. 59 Baloophi said at 2:39 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Secondary looks pretty good today…

  60. 60 anon said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    people are open, but good pass rush but inaccurate throwing. Maybe we need to just try to run the ball to bail him out.

  61. 61 Baloophi said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Looks to me like Foles is sitting back there for at least four seconds, which is plenty of time. So either they’re not open, or he’s indecisive. Or both.

  62. 62 ICDogg said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Very indecisive today.

  63. 63 A_T_G said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Airfare is expensive around the holidays.

  64. 64 Pennguino said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Nick is off today.

  65. 65 shah8 said at 2:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That sack? The Vikings guessed right where Foles wanted to throw the ball. Foles just held it instead of making a play, or finding DJax on the sidelines, who looked open on the replay if I see it right.

  66. 66 GermanEagle said at 2:40 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Would you put Vick in there?

  67. 67 Insomniac said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No. Unless we’re this stale as an offense till the 4th quater

  68. 68 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    to play safety? sure, why not.

  69. 69 Andy124 said at 2:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Another reason why he should not be back as a backup next year.

  70. 70 ICDogg said at 2:40 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    A good start would be forcing a punt

  71. 71 Baloophi said at 2:40 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Welp.

  72. 72 scratcherk said at 2:40 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    goodness…

  73. 73 ToastJenkins said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    we are snakebit today…

  74. 74 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    wow…. what in hte fuck….

  75. 75 Corry said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Which team is 3-9-1?

  76. 76 RobNE said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    We are not making the playoffs

  77. 77 GermanEagle said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    this is the game where Foles can show us if he has FRANCHISE in him…!

  78. 78 scratcherk said at 2:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i blame tommy.

  79. 79 Insomniac said at 2:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    So…about those secondary signings this offseason..

  80. 80 Baloophi said at 2:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    You never expect reversion to the mean to happen this quickly…

  81. 81 anon said at 2:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Lots of game left, but if D can’t stop the Vikings w/out AP we’ll never get back into the game…

  82. 82 anon said at 2:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    WOW — crazy catch. I started philly d this week too…

  83. 83 Insomniac said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I feel sorry for you and want to know what you’ve drank/sniff/smoked to even start them.

  84. 84 scratcherk said at 2:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    out of the reid playbook there.

  85. 85 truthchief said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The Real Eagles Secondary on Display today. Vikings are teaching the Bears and Cowboys how to beat the Eagles…

  86. 86 ACViking said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The good part of this Vikings drive is the Eagles let them get to the RZ in 30 seconds.

  87. 87 Mike Flick said at 2:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They did want to get off the field.

  88. 88 GermanEagle said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    go packers!

  89. 89 scratcherk said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    well there goes that streak.

  90. 90 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    wow. that play reminds me of so many nightmares from 2012….

  91. 91 xeynon said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is infuriating. We’d better be scouting up every blue chip pass rusher and defensive back in the draft next year.

  92. 92 GEAGLE said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Disgusting…

  93. 93 anon said at 2:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I guess we’ve been beating bad teams. To be fair Vikings have been really close in most games and had the refs rip a game from them last week. you know they are pumped up — we probably aren’t matching that intensity.

  94. 94 Insomniac said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Matt Cassel looking like Rodgers today.

  95. 95 DarthBanner said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    what a disgrace.

  96. 96 RobNE said at 2:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That td is on Foles taking that sack

  97. 97 Insomniac said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Should have just chucked the ball away.

  98. 98 xeynon said at 2:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Really? You don’t think the defense’s inability to stop Matt Cassel, Matt Asiata, and Jarius Wright has more to do with it?

  99. 99 RobNE said at 2:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yes but it was such an awful decision and would have been 3rd and 4

  100. 100 DamonL86 said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    21 point and under streak over.

  101. 101 ACViking said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Eagles were open to the draw earlier in the game on the PI drive.

  102. 102 Bob Brewer said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    There goes that 21 points allowed streak.

  103. 103 GEAGLE said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Disgusting

  104. 104 OregonDucker said at 2:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Very poor D play. They should be ashamed.

  105. 105 jshort said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    looks like we fell in the trap

  106. 106 Corry said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    SO much for the “one game at a time” approach. The coaches may not have over looked the Vikings, but the Players sure as hell did.

  107. 107 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    hopefully now the players will understand why the coaches preach what they preach.

  108. 108 shah8 said at 2:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I don’t think it’s the player’s fault. Vikings are straightup beating the scheme.

  109. 109 shah8 said at 2:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If there is any fault, it’s on the offense…a little.

  110. 110 Crus57 said at 2:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The Vikings haven’t punted yet, I’d say that’s on the D.

  111. 111 anon said at 2:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    if they didn’t understand after the first half. This game is on the DBs though…we’re the worst passing D (yds allowed) for a reason.

  112. 112 A_T_G said at 2:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Cassel looks a little like Foles.

  113. 113 GermanEagle said at 2:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    but he runs a 4,4.

  114. 114 Baloophi said at 2:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    To be fair, you can’t expect to stop Cassel, Asiata and Jennings.

  115. 115 ACViking said at 2:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    RZ defense terrible.

    Defense between the 20s — terrible.

    Offense. Terrible.

    Henery excellent.

  116. 116 OregonDucker said at 2:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is a karma whammy. Too much SB talk!

  117. 117 lilmc said at 2:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Great game plan on D

  118. 118 GermanEagle said at 2:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That. Is. A. joke.

  119. 119 TommyLawlor said at 2:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Just shocked at this.

  120. 120 GEAGLE said at 2:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This can’t happen again, it just can’t…..I don’t think I can handle or process it

  121. 121 GEAGLE said at 2:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Seems like we got greedy and we are just trying to swing for the fences…let’s throw a few jabs and get in a Rythem

  122. 122 Pennguino said at 2:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I hear ya. Need to get some rhythm going to build some confidence. Need a few more runs.

  123. 123 ACViking said at 2:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That first possession of the 2nd half was embarrassing.

    Only more embarrassing was the opening Eagles possession of the 1st half.

  124. 124 Baloophi said at 2:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    “Maul of America” game

  125. 125 ToastJenkins said at 2:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    only 2 scores…lotsa time left

  126. 126 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i like cooper running over the defender at the end of the run. i like the attitude.

  127. 127 ToastJenkins said at 2:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    what happened to the run game, Chip?

  128. 128 GEAGLE said at 2:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    3rd and 3, run it twice in a row

  129. 129 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    is that really his 5th carry?! wtf

  130. 130 ACViking said at 2:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Is the Fox replay machine broken?

  131. 131 Baloophi said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If you’re referring to Mike Pereira, yes.

  132. 132 Andy124 said at 2:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Hey a running play. Neato.

  133. 133 Insomniac said at 2:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    So we have Colt Anderson out there playing..?

  134. 134 Corry said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chung is back in from what I saw.

  135. 135 Andy124 said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Right in stride for the RAC.

  136. 136 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    a lot of shallow crossing routes in this game

  137. 137 ajbduck said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Not worried… we got this!

  138. 138 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Bad decision.

  139. 139 Insomniac said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Of course…

  140. 140 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    ugh…. that drive was looking good until that

  141. 141 Baloophi said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Wow. Completely abandoned running.

  142. 142 ACViking said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Andy Reid is in the house

  143. 143 Andy124 said at 2:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    well poop.

    I agree.

  149. 149 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i think he also took a little too long to decide to throw it there. too many people in the area.

  150. 150 shah8 said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The underthrow was due to too much loft.

  151. 151 Baloophi said at 2:50 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Hopefully we can keep this next Vikings’ touchdown drive under 2 minutes…

  152. 152 Bob Brewer said at 2:50 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    SI Jinx

  153. 153 BlindChow said at 2:50 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This does feel like a playoff game. Lose this one and the season seems over.

  154. 154 Nick Folesly said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Jackson has to fight for that ball.

  155. 155 GermanEagle said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    put Vick in there

  156. 156 ToastJenkins said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    thats just stupid

  157. 157 GermanEagle said at 3:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yes. Stupid to keep playing a QB who’s not in sync with his offense.

  158. 158 GermanEagle said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Ok. Let’s play Foles to the end to learn a lesson. What difference does it make?!!

  159. 159 anon said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    hahaha, i made same comment — nature of the beast in phlly

  160. 160 GEAGLE said at 2:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Smh

  161. 161 anon said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    3 vikings cbs out and we can’t pass the ball. Get #7 suited up before we take this L

  162. 162 xeynon said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Bad decision by Foles there. Should keep the chains moving, not be trying to score on low percentage deep throws.

  163. 163 ToastJenkins said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    waited too long and telegraphed it Nick…stop pressing. its like the dallas game again. he seems to be overthinking it

  164. 164 Nick Folesly said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Watch it again, that one is on Desean

  165. 165 ACViking said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Let’s take a step back from “Chip Kelly is the Best NFL Coach” . . . at least until the Eagles get a TD today.

  166. 166 Corry said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Players were totally unprepared today. This is just sad.

  167. 167 Baloophi said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I believe there’s an ESPN E:60 airing in three minutes called “When The Eagles Used to Run The Ball.”

  168. 168 Flyin said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Getting beat by a dome team in a dome… F’ing pathetic!

  169. 169 Nick Folesly said at 2:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That ball was there for whoever wanted it more. And Desean didn’t even fight for it.

  170. 170 Insomniac said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    How? It was thrown RIGHT TO Prater.

  171. 171 Nick Folesly said at 2:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Watch it again. Jackson had PLENTY of time to adjust to that ball. It looks like it was right to Prater because DJ didn’t fight for it.

  172. 172 Andy124 said at 2:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Bad throw. Bad play be DJ not trying to break it up. May not have realized Prater was even coming from that angle. Thought it was about to drop his hands for an easy catch. Just guessing.

  173. 173 Nick Folesly said at 2:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I agree the throw could have been better, but there are a number of receivers who would have either caught that or broken it up at the very least.

  174. 174 Insomniac said at 2:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No. Poor throw and perfect positioning from Prater.

  175. 175 scratcherk said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Time for the D to answer

  176. 176 GEAGLE said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Oh they fucking better!!!

  177. 177 GEAGLE said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    FUCK ME!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK ME!!! FUCK FOLES and FUCK Praters…and FUCK whoever replies!!! UGH! Aggrivated!

    This fucking defense better show something RIGHT now, or this iPad gets launched. Don’t fuck with me today Cary. Make a damn play on the ball, I certainly can’t ask thensafeties

  178. 178 ToastJenkins said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    wonder if desean caught shit for not breaking it up

  179. 179 Andy124 said at 2:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Hopefully the D can come make a play, try to get us some life.

  180. 180 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    looking at the replay, djax was WIDE open earlier in the route if they just threw it earlier

  181. 181 RobNE said at 2:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yes

  182. 182 Jernst said at 2:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    5 rushes, disappointing effort against an inferior opponent….I feel like I’m having Deja vu from the Reid era.

  183. 183 teltschikfakeout88 said at 2:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Same old eagles. Lose to a severely undermanned Vikings team.. Again…. This game is awful….hope I eat crow in the 4th Q…but I am doubtful…

  184. 184 GermanEagle said at 2:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    honestly I am not too upset. What were to odds to go on a 12 game winning streak?!

  185. 185 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    heh silver lining!

  186. 186 GEAGLE said at 2:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Not Losing this game

  187. 187 Pennguino said at 2:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Pressing and not establishing the run. DJ could have helped out there but was just passive. Still on Nick. That’s why he trusts Cooper more on those type of plays.

  188. 188 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    boykin with another almost missed tackle

  189. 189 GEAGLE said at 2:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    His worst game of the year

  190. 190 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Vikings are going to go for that.

  191. 191 BlindChow said at 2:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They might as well.

  192. 192 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The Vikings have a punter on their roster? I wasn’t aware.

  196. 196 RobNE said at 2:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    What is this thing where they kick the ball like this?

  197. 197 Crus57 said at 2:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Some unconventional FG attempt I think

  198. 198 Baloophi said at 2:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is one that the Vikings should go for. Make it, and it’s a back-breaker / time sucker. Don’t make it, you’ll get it back in 13 seconds.

  199. 199 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    lots of flags out there

  200. 200 Baloophi said at 2:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Minnesota’s “free commemorative referee flag give-away game” will cause that…

  201. 201 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    uh oh

  202. 202 ACViking said at 2:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Can’t score 15 points on 1 drive.

    Regroup. Get 1 TD now. Go from there.

  203. 203 ACViking said at 2:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    How hard is it to communicate penalties to the ref

  204. 204 Baloophi said at 2:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    How do you talk to an angel?

  205. 205 ACViking said at 2:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    You came to play today.

  206. 206 ACViking said at 2:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    But you haven’t topped last week’s response to my question about Dumbo and the feather . . . and keeping up.

  207. 207 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    god only knows if the refs get this one right….

  208. 208 GEAGLE said at 2:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chung,,,if you can’t bring it on ST, then go fuck yourself

  209. 209 anon said at 2:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chung’s not the only problem this game…

  210. 210 GEAGLE said at 3:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    You don’t say?

  211. 211 ACViking said at 2:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Patrick Chung . . . yeah, he was available as a free agent because New England couldn’t afford him.

    Hmm, hmm.

  212. 212 GEAGLE said at 2:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Lol something like that

  213. 213 scratcherk said at 2:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    these refs suck.

  214. 214 Baloophi said at 2:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Hmm, this won’t bite us…

  215. 215 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Moose doesn’t like those penalties? they both looked like easy flags to me…

  216. 216 Corry said at 2:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Moose not think. Think hurt moose head.

  217. 217 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    lol i expect that out of Goose since he’s an idiot. oh, i guess that explains why i should expect it out of Moose too, then. lol

  218. 218 GEAGLE said at 2:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Hope he donates his brain to science

  219. 219 Crus57 said at 3:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    He hasn’t already?

  220. 220 Baloophi said at 2:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Time to break out the old “Run, Andy, Run!” poster and a sharpie…

  221. 221 A_T_G said at 3:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    So who was Jackson yelling at? They said Avant, but it didn’t look like it, and that doesn’t seem likely.

  222. 222 Corry said at 3:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    it’s possible if Avant got on DeSean to break up the INT.

  223. 223 Andy124 said at 3:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That’s what I was thinking.

  224. 224 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I’d almost rather listen to Thiesmann and Collinsworth. Almost.

  225. 225 Crus57 said at 3:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Wash your mouth out.

  226. 226 ACViking said at 3:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Baloophi . . .

    If Kelly goes pass, pass, pass . . . has he become been NFL-ized?

  227. 227 Baloophi said at 3:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    He becomes demon-ized, that’s for sure.

  228. 228 Baloophi said at 3:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    What did Chip do at Oregon when trailing 15 points to Oregon A&M in the second half?

  229. 229 scratcherk said at 3:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    didnt realize damaris is still on the team.

  230. 230 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    right? kinda hoped that Brad Smith had taken his place…

  231. 231 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Wait. #13. I vaguely remember that guy.

  232. 232 Corry said at 3:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It’s just been that kind of day.

  233. 233 ACViking said at 3:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Johnson?

    Won’t see him again

  234. 234 Insomniac said at 3:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Why didn’t we cut this guy yet

  235. 235 Baloophi said at 3:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Again, middle of field is open. Is Celek out today?

  236. 236 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:02 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    someone else noted earlier he was helping JP on allen a lot

  237. 237 ToastJenkins said at 3:02 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    dammit shady dont bounce just get the first

  238. 238 GEAGLE said at 3:02 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is the time when the Detroit avalanche started….

  239. 239 Corry said at 3:02 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    YOU NEEDED A YARD MCCOY! GO FORWARD!

  240. 240 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i think that 3rd down run was designed to go to the outside like that because Foles tossed it to him instead of the normal handoff

  241. 241 Baloophi said at 3:02 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Should have challenged the previous spot. Now, we’re done.

  242. 242 scratcherk said at 3:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    sigh.

  243. 243 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    that was a first down by mccoy….. he dove and got the ball ON the line 25 yard line

    edit… errrr 30 yard line. whatever it was.

  244. 244 Insomniac said at 3:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Shady didn’t get it

  245. 245 ToastJenkins said at 3:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    looked like his elbow was down on 3rd not the knee – should have challenged

  246. 246 Andy124 said at 3:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    He got that.

  247. 247 Andy124 said at 3:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I blame the spot.

  248. 248 Corry said at 3:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They spotted it short though. You’re not going to overturn that since you can’t see the ball.

  249. 249 Andy124 said at 3:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Agreed.

  250. 250 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i think he got the first both times, actually

  251. 251 Baloophi said at 3:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    And there’s your game. Seriously – he had the first down on the previous run.

  252. 252 TommyLawlor said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Terrible spot.

  253. 253 Baloophi said at 3:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yeah, but given the gravity, have to challenge the spot on the 3rd down run, right? Better than putting yourself at 4th and 1 with that field position.

  254. 254 xeynon said at 3:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The refs have been pretty atrocious throughout this game.

    Not that it’s made a difference – the Eagles would be losing anyway. But it would be closer.

  255. 255 scratcherk said at 3:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    he’s def over the 25 on replay but not enough to overturn.

  256. 256 Baloophi said at 3:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    “College Boy” – here it comes.

  257. 257 shah8 said at 3:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    okay, what, Kelly? Going for it is good, but, this gives up a field goal!

  258. 258 Baloophi said at 3:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Now we’ll lose a timeout, too. Sweet.

  259. 259 Insomniac said at 3:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chip is mad.

  260. 260 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    why would you challenge this one, but not the 3rd down run?

  261. 261 Andy124 said at 3:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Hail Mary challenge.

  262. 262 xeynon said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Why didn’t Kelly challenge the spot on 3rd down? It looked to me like McCoy had it on that run.

  263. 263 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Oh, please Chip %#^$#%!!! That is a waste of a TO you’ll hoepfully need later.

  264. 264 ACViking said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Kelly should have challenged the 3rd down spot

  265. 265 Pennguino said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    should have challenged the 3rd. Ball hit the 30 when he was down.

  266. 266 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    is there a camera on the other side of the field? this side only shows shady’s back

  267. 267 Iskar36 said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Can’t imagine a camera on the other side having a clear shot of McCoy through all the players.

  268. 268 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    youre probably right, i’m just wondering why we only see this one angle which doesn’t show the ball

  269. 269 jshort said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Shummer woke up

  270. 270 Crus57 said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    a play too late.

  271. 271 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No, Shurmur was talking about the 3rd down. Tech difficulties caused a delay, apparently.

  272. 272 GEAGLE said at 3:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Haha thanks for the much needed laugh

  273. 273 jshort said at 3:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    should have slept!

  274. 274 RobNE said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Why not be under center on 4th and 1?

  275. 275 Andy124 said at 3:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    2 running plays on 3rd and 4th and short. You’d think we could pick it up with room to spare. At least he called running plays.

  276. 276 GEAGLE said at 3:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Any chance this gets overturned?

  277. 277 Andy124 said at 3:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No.

  278. 278 pkeagle said at 3:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    wrong down being challenged

  279. 279 DarthBanner said at 3:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I believe this is what’s called shitting the bed. Completely unacceptable. Completely undeserving of a playoff spot. The entire organization should be embarrassed at this complete lack of preparation.

  280. 280 anon said at 3:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I thought the cowboys looked bad last week…

  281. 281 BlindChow said at 3:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They were playing a much better team.

  282. 282 anon said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    my point exactly

  283. 283 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:09 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    at least we forced a punt!

  284. 284 ACViking said at 3:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Johnson FALLS down.

    Side judge blows the spot on 3rd down.

    Back judge — who’s supposed to be watching the TE — calls PI on Fletcher.

    WHAT THE FUCK

  285. 285 OregonDucker said at 3:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Karma whammy.

  286. 286 xeynon said at 3:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Agree that the refs have been horrendous in this game, with most of the bad calls going against us.

    But they were just as bad in the Arizona game, and we benefited from most of those calls. Things even out over the course of a season.

  287. 287 GEAGLE said at 3:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I can’t take that Viking horn. I’m going to lose it

  288. 288 Andy124 said at 3:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Surprised no flag there for roughing the passer. Just because, these refs.

  289. 289 Baloophi said at 3:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Maybe the back-judge will call it…

  290. 290 Corry said at 3:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They’re waiting to see if the Eagles start making a comeback…then they’ll throw the flag.

  291. 291 Baloophi said at 3:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This feels far more insurmountable than down 14-0 against Detroit in a blizzard.

  292. 292 scratcherk said at 3:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    finally dialing up pressure.

  293. 293 Crus57 said at 3:09 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    On the bright side, at least now the team should appreciate that they aren’t going to just walk into the playoffs.

  294. 294 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i said it earlier – silver lining!

  295. 295 ACViking said at 3:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They don’t belong in the playoffs.

    It’s money time. Can’t be losing to a 3-9-1 team like this.

  296. 296 jshort said at 3:09 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is our time …right now!!! just like Detroit

  297. 297 Baloophi said at 3:09 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That was the 3rd and long automatic first down play the Chiefs ran against us 9 times…

  298. 298 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    good to see we are learning something on D

  299. 299 Baloophi said at 3:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    #Progress!

  300. 300 anon said at 3:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    nah still picked up 11 — which is crazy.

  301. 301 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    on 3rd down & >11, its ok, i guess. lol

  302. 302 Corry said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The score may as well be 49-9 with the way the offense is playing.

  303. 303 shah8 said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Kendricks made a great play to keep Wright from the first.

  304. 304 RobNE said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Why did we draw from shotgun on 4th and 1?

  305. 305 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    kinda surprised no QB sneak

  306. 306 Baloophi said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If you’re scoring along at home, Chip’s decision to go for it moves it from a 2 score differential to a 3 score differential, and makes it that much harder to run the ball.

  307. 307 Andy124 said at 3:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    devils advocate: with the way our defense has been playing, what are the odds we’d have forced a punt anyway, but have lost that much more time?

  308. 308 Baloophi said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I don’t know, but it’s essentially automatic points you’re giving up.

  309. 309 Andy124 said at 3:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yeah. I don’t necessarily agree with the call, but I think it’s defensible.

  310. 310 Baloophi said at 3:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I’m sure it is… but nothing is defensible today! Oh snap!

  311. 311 Crus57 said at 3:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Nothing but the Eagles Offense.

  312. 312 Andy124 said at 3:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I’d laugh more if we were winning.

  313. 313 xeynon said at 3:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I don’t have a problem with the decision to go for it. I do have a problem with not challenging the third down spot.

  314. 314 Baloophi said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That’s what makes it all the more infuriating to me… the challenge should have happened on the previous play.

  315. 315 ACViking said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Che Cazzo!!!

  316. 316 Andy124 said at 3:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Good job D. Let’s run the 19 point play now. I think it’s on the second page of the playbook.

  317. 317 Crus57 said at 3:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Pretty sure I’ve seen Roc Carmichael out there on D quite a bit, is one of our CBs hurt?

  318. 318 Baloophi said at 3:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Sconces came in with a bad hammy, so maybe that got him?

  319. 319 A_T_G said at 3:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Well, at least now we don’t have to wonder what they will talk about on WIP this week.

  320. 320 ACViking said at 3:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That INT deep to DJax — the right pass was to Cooper crossing the safety’s face

  321. 321 Baloophi said at 3:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Bit of a throwback game to last season…

  322. 322 Cafone said at 3:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Well, this is what some people were asking for: Nick Foles in a pressure situation.

  323. 323 ACViking said at 3:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Also . . . DJax was arguing with Colt Anderson, I think.

  324. 324 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    nice return by boykin

  325. 325 scratcherk said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    fuck, boykin hurt.

  326. 326 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    shit. landed awkwardly on his arm, hopefully its not that.

    kinda shitty that he was hurt and everyone just laid on top of him for a few minutes

  327. 327 Corry said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Boykin got dropped on his head on that one.

  328. 328 ACViking said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That’s great.

    Roc Carmichael in the slot now.

  329. 329 BobSmith77 said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    2 CBs hurt now. Ugh.

  330. 330 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    who else is hurt? did i miss an injury?

  331. 331 BobSmith77 said at 3:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Williams has been in and out.

  332. 332 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    oh wow, i didn’t even notice that. thanks

  333. 333 Andy124 said at 3:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    And Kurt Coleman.

  334. 334 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    or are you referring to Wolff?

  335. 335 Jernst said at 3:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    remind me again why boykin is even returning kicks instead of Brad Smith

  336. 336 ACViking said at 3:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Fipper’s choice?

  337. 337 Jernst said at 6:39 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Just seems stupid. Boykin goes down = the defense is in a world of hurt. Smith goes down = nothing wrong at all for offense. Smith is historically a better KOR and Boykin has offered little to nothing as KOR over the past 2 years. Cost benefit analysis and I see absolutely no reason to have Boykin back there.

  338. 338 jshort said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Oh boy!!!

  339. 339 Andy124 said at 3:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    add injury to insult.

  340. 340 scratcherk said at 3:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    thats why brad smith should be returning kicks.

  341. 341 Baloophi said at 3:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    My head is actually hot with anger. Interesting.

  342. 342 ToastJenkins said at 3:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    get 22 a smoothie…STAT

  343. 343 ACViking said at 3:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I’m really struck by Kelly’s impatience with the running game today.

    Very interested to hear T-law, Derek Sarley, and Fran Duffey on what happened.

    Like watching Marty call the plays today.

  344. 344 Andy124 said at 3:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Packaged plays where the D dictated passes?

  345. 345 ACViking said at 3:30 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I don’t see it.

    Foles is barely faking the handoffs.

  346. 346 Andy124 said at 3:33 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I don’t see it either. Grasping at straws.

  347. 347 Baloophi said at 3:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If we score two more 9 pointers we can tie it up…

  348. 348 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    make it happen

  349. 349 Insomniac said at 3:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    TD drives and 2 safeties? Why the hell not

  350. 350 scratcherk said at 3:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    ugh. foles.

  351. 351 Baloophi said at 3:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    So, Bad Foles comes out every 6 games or so? I guess that’s not too bad…

  352. 352 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    once again, foles & avant just don’t have hte chemistry…

  353. 353 xeynon said at 3:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Avant was open there and Foles just sailed that. He needs to calm down.

  354. 354 RobNE said at 3:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The raiders played zone

  355. 355 Baloophi said at 3:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If only we had the league’s leading rusher to hand the ball to…

  356. 356 scratcherk said at 3:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    a bit of happy feet by foles.

  357. 357 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    yea, looked like he didn’t set his feet

  358. 358 Baloophi said at 3:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That hit by Logan on Cassel scared him…

  359. 359 Andy124 said at 3:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Catchable ball though.

  360. 360 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    hey, there’s Avant!

  361. 361 Bob Brewer said at 3:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This game is making me a sad panda.

  362. 362 BobSmith77 said at 3:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Foles has had happy feet today and he is isn’t planting and driving forward. A lot of stuff off-target and sailing.

    In his defense, the O-line has generally been average to poor in the terms of pass protection he has gotten. Peters has struggled and so has Johnson who I have still have yet to see where people think he is competent in pass protection.

  363. 363 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    nice catch by djax there

  364. 364 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Could we get the ball to McCoy, please. Oh, thanks.

  365. 365 Baloophi said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Hmm, broken running plays picking up 13 yards? Hmm…

  366. 366 Iskar36 said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Not sure what happened on that run, but it looked ugly.

  367. 367 xeynon said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If the Vikings are confounding us by playing zone, where are the bubble screens and such? Gotta question the play calling here.

  368. 368 scratcherk said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    add that to the playbook chip!

  369. 369 Andy124 said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Who was that guy? He looked good.

  370. 370 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    8 rushes!

  371. 371 scratcherk said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    boom

  372. 372 scratcherk said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    goes the dynamite.

  373. 373 jshort said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    omg

  374. 374 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    there we go! nice play Foles & Djax

  375. 375 Corry said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Are we allowed to do that?

  376. 376 ToastJenkins said at 3:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Minn is playing 8 and even 9 men down…no wonder there are no runs

  377. 377 ACViking said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Talk about ON THE MONEY

  378. 378 Insomniac said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Just 5 more!!

  379. 379 Andy124 said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Foles has stronger nerves than we do.

  380. 380 anon said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    there we go!!

  381. 381 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    wow. anyone else see the DB hold the shit out of djax at the beginning of that route?

  382. 382 Corry said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No. And neither did the refs. I’m just surprised they’re pointed in the direction of the game.

  383. 383 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    ok, maybe i was imagining it

  384. 384 Crus57 said at 3:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    DJax did have his shoulder dragged back, but might’ve been within 5yds so refs probably overlooked it.

  385. 385 Corry said at 3:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I was kidding. I saw it lol

  386. 386 BlindChow said at 3:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They have two coin flips at the beginning of every game. The second is to see who’s getting all the penalties called on them that day.

  387. 387 ACViking said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    One possession at a time.

  388. 388 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    D-E-F-E-N-S-E!!!!! Let’s go Billy D!!!!

  389. 389 shah8 said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Some life…now defense has to step up.

  390. 390 Baloophi said at 3:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    We ran that play before with Cooper, I believe…

  391. 391 Baloophi said at 3:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    In a previous game for points, obviously…

  392. 392 ToastJenkins said at 3:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Ertz was open on the TD too. safety was caught in no mans land

  393. 393 scratcherk said at 3:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    why cant our kicker kick out of the endzone in a dome

  394. 394 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:21 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i really don’t understand it. he nailed a 51 yard FG…

  395. 395 Baloophi said at 3:21 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I think they fear Corradderrallle too much…

  396. 396 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:22 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    LOL everytime they say it, i laugh.

  397. 397 BobSmith77 said at 3:21 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Nice to see Foles not turtle after some early throws earlier this quarter. Need a turnover to get back in this game though.

  398. 398 RobNE said at 3:21 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Should we have gone for 2?

  399. 399 GermanEagle said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No. 2 early.

  400. 400 BlindChow said at 3:26 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yes, because you need a 2 pointer anyway, and if you miss it early, you’ll at least know where you stand. If you miss it late, there’s less time for a 3rd TD.

  401. 401 ACViking said at 3:21 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The TDs have been there.

    1. Cooper deep but the pass too close to the sideline. (Then the Foles penalty.)

    2. On the D-Jax INT by Prater, Cooper open crossing the safety.

    3. Then DJax just now.

  402. 402 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:21 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    ok defense. get the ball back!

  403. 403 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:21 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Coleman is OUT. i guess we’ll be seeing a lot of Chung the rest of the day

  404. 404 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:22 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    crazy that we keep giving them that short route

  405. 405 scratcherk said at 3:22 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    wow, thornton just DESTROYED that guy

  406. 406 Baloophi said at 3:22 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Desperate need of a turnover… if nothing more than for momentum.

  407. 407 scratcherk said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    anything else you’d like?

  408. 408 Baloophi said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Desperate need of a Celek screen that goes for 50 yards…

  409. 409 scratcherk said at 3:24 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    seriously, ask for a pot of gold. NOW.

  410. 410 Baloophi said at 3:25 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Desperate need for a pick play where Cooper comes across wide open for a TD…

  411. 411 BobSmith77 said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I want a hot dog. I want a soda. I want . ..

  412. 412 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    there you go!

  413. 413 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:22 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    holy shit thornton! my god….

  414. 414 Corry said at 3:22 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Where has that been all day?

  415. 415 Andy124 said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Took out 2 OL and the back. WOW

  416. 416 Insomniac said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Big Ced doing what he do!!

  417. 417 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    YES!

  418. 418 BobSmith77 said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Musgrave has done a great job of mixing up the Eagles defense and not letting their d-line get into a rhythm.

  419. 419 Andy124 said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    LIFE

  420. 420 shah8 said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    And the defense does come up with the ball.

  421. 421 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    🙂

  422. 422 Corry said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Some life in the birds yet!

  423. 423 anon said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    team wins!

  424. 424 xeynon said at 3:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That’s the crappy Matt Cassel we’ve all come to know and love.

  425. 425 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:24 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    though i have to give credit to the DL for tipping the pass in the first place!

  426. 426 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:24 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Kendricks channels his inner David Tyree and takes it off of Wright’s helmet.

  427. 427 Andy124 said at 3:24 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Don’t forget about Shady.

  428. 428 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:24 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    that was a beautiful play

  429. 429 Corry said at 3:25 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Don’t worry Brent, you’ll score on one of those at some point.

    anyone else notice the Celek turbo mode helmet adjustment near the end of that play?

    run it in please.

  433. 433 Insomniac said at 3:25 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If only he took a second to gather himself and run in for the TD

  434. 434 Andy124 said at 3:25 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Clearly, Celek hates Foles and doesn’t want him to get touchdown passes.

  435. 435 scratcherk said at 3:26 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    what a catch!

  436. 436 Baloophi said at 3:26 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Ertz destroyed Avant on the celebration!

  437. 437 Andy124 said at 3:26 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    WHEW!!!!!!!

  438. 438 Pennguino said at 3:26 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    He tried to hit the turbo on his helment

    Yeah, on the replay Ertz had great position.

    Poor call by Chip. His in-game decision-making still is pretty damn shaky.

    going for 2

  460. 460 BlindChow said at 3:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    You mean the play or the decision to go for 2?

  461. 461 Insomniac said at 3:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    both

  462. 462 BobSmith77 said at 3:32 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yup.

  463. 463 BlindChow said at 3:33 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It would have been 27 to 23 with a PAT. Going for 2 was absolutely the right decision.

  464. 464 Insomniac said at 3:34 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    A point is better than none especially when you’re behind.

  468. 468 Andy124 said at 3:29 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Gee, if only we’d put Vick in… smh

    yes

    Coleman is no loss. Boykin is huge though.

    Yes. The goal should for the defense needs to be “no 5 minute drives.”

  488. 488 BobSmith77 said at 3:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Ertz is on pace to catch 30 rec, 400 yards, and 4 Tds. Sounds impressive but the much-maligned LJ Smith was more productive this rookie season.

  489. 489 ACViking said at 3:32 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Where is TOMMY LAWLOR . . .

    Do you agree THIS is the kind of game where Foles is showing he’s got the requisite ICE in his veins?

  490. 490 Insomniac said at 3:33 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The team decided to show up late.

  534. 534 ReginaldLennox said at 3:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It’s like everyone is afraid to admit that using a draft pick on a K who can’t send it deep was a mistake.

  570. 570 BobSmith77 said at 3:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Foles overall stat line is pretty impressive but he hasn’t played well today. Missed way too many throws and holding on to the ball all way too long.

  571. 571 ReginaldLennox said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    He’s had a lot of throws that have felt more lucky/helped by the target than they have been beautiful like a Brady or Manning… it was bound to catch up.

  572. 572 xeynon said at 3:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I think he’s been up and down. He wasn’t going to continue at the 125 QB rating pace he’d been up to. Still has made some big time throws today.

    That wasn’t an adjustment. It’s been like that from the start.

  576. 576 ACViking said at 3:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No. I meant Chip’s made the leap today to the NFL.

    He’s all pass, pass, pass.

  577. 577 ACViking said at 3:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This game has been about the Viking players, individually, executing their scheme better than the Eagles players, individually.

  578. 578 ReginaldLennox said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Execution determines the game… what coach would ever say that?

  579. 579 xeynon said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Man, how much could our defense use a pass rusher like Jared Allen? He’s single-handedly wrecked two Eagles drives today.

  580. 580 ToastJenkins said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    the D just has nothing today

  581. 581 Iskar36 said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Defense has flat out played awful all game.

  582. 582 scratcherk said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    defense shitting hte bed.

  583. 583 Baloophi said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    We have now entered the “shower Minnesota with praise” phase of the broadcast. Open mouth. Insert finger.

  584. 584 Crus57 said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Lift finger, press mute.

  585. 585 Baloophi said at 3:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I’ve been doing that as much as possible… it seems to bother Mrs. Baloophi.

  586. 586 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    and now nate allen misses a tackle. geez.

  587. 587 shah8 said at 3:43 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Technically, this is the best I’ve ever seen Cassel play.

  588. 588 ReginaldLennox said at 3:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Didn’t watch his first Green Bay game?

  589. 589 shah8 said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No.

  590. 590 ACViking said at 3:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Been weeks since we saw the DBs exposed this way.

    Maybe since the last time the Eagles faced a good QB.

    WOW. BAD. DAY.

  591. 591 jshort said at 3:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    looks like the Dallas D

  592. 592 Insomniac said at 3:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Did the 2011 Packers change to purple jerseys?

  593. 593 ReginaldLennox said at 3:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Barwin showing up!

  594. 594 anon said at 3:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Alshon Jeffrey is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!

  595. 595 ACViking said at 3:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chicago traded up 2 years ago to jump the Eagles to select Jeffrey.

    Don’t know if the Eagles were going to take him. But the Bears made the move.

  596. 596 ACViking said at 3:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I love the irony of T-Law posting “Brains and Brawn” yesterday about how Kelly sticks with the run.

    Not so much the next day.

  597. 597 scratcherk said at 3:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    he taunted after a 3 yard loss?

  598. 598 Pennguino said at 3:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Need to start blitzing every down. Can’t give him time

  599. 599 BlindChow said at 3:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They’ll still convert.

  600. 600 Baloophi said at 3:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Wow. Wonder what the odds were on a “taunting call” against Minnesota before the game…

  601. 601 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    and i think they should have a penalty for diving. sheesh.

  602. 602 BobSmith77 said at 3:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    What a dumba$$.

  603. 603 BobSmith77 said at 3:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This was an o-line/d-line game and on both sides of the ball the Eagles got out-muscled and outplayed.

  604. 604 Insomniac said at 3:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Alex, what is Tackling for $200.

  605. 605 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    DL is tackling OK. the DBs notsomuch

  606. 606 BobSmith77 said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Eagles missed some tackles on defense especially in the secondary but Cassel has had a lot of room to step up and make throws in the pocket all day long.

  607. 607 Andy124 said at 3:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    missed tackle for anderson there.

  608. 608 ToastJenkins said at 3:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    3rd and 20 – they got us right where they want us

  609. 609 BobSmith77 said at 3:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Slant or a drag over the middle for 27 yards?

  610. 610 Baloophi said at 3:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Well, if there’s a turnaround, that taunting penalty looms large…

  611. 611 ToastJenkins said at 3:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    ok offense – still got a chance

  612. 612 scratcherk said at 3:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    chip’s got a big board.

  613. 613 Baloophi said at 3:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chip’s gotten a bit bored.

  614. 614 Andy124 said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    game’s too easy when you call runs and passes. wants a challenge.

  615. 615 Baloophi said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    But not on 3rd down when we’ve got the first down but a bad spot. Definitely doesn’t want that challenge.

  616. 616 scratcherk said at 3:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    make up call

  617. 617 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    now they’re going to talk it over for another 5 minutes

  618. 618 RobNE said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Desean never steps up and makes a fair catch. Why?

  619. 619 ToastJenkins said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    make up call…not at all predictable

  620. 620 Baloophi said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Oh, I see. Everyone gets a trophy…

  621. 621 anon said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    To be fair you cannot run the ball on this TEAM!!

  622. 622 ACViking said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They don’t call him “ROC” for nothing

  623. 623 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    OK. 90 yards, 1 min 23 seconds. 7 points.

    Correction, 95 yards.

  624. 624 xeynon said at 3:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I really hate that fucking horn. Even if I were a Vikings fan it’d drive me crazy.

  625. 625 BobSmith77 said at 3:50 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It isn’t as bad as the World Cup in South Africa but yeah it sounds like a random fog horn.

  626. 626 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    VUVUZELA!

  627. 627 nicolajNN said at 3:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    And it’s all the damn time, it would be okay if it was after TD and TO, but it’s every time the smallest thing happens

  628. 628 scratcherk said at 3:50 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    cant hold the ball in the endzone.

  629. 629 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:50 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Run the damn ball, Andy!!!

  630. 630 Andy124 said at 3:50 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    that was a little scary.

  631. 631 Baloophi said at 3:50 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Complete fail all around today.

  632. 632 Andy124 said at 3:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    had to be a miscommunication on that one.

  633. 633 Andy124 said at 3:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    and another one.

  634. 634 ToastJenkins said at 3:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Foles not sharp at all today

  635. 635 RobNE said at 3:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Well it is good we are using shady so much

  636. 636 ReginaldLennox said at 3:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Lordy WTF?

  637. 637 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Foles hit as he threw it

  638. 638 BobSmith77 said at 3:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Booo! Terrible play-calling and execution there.

    Nice if the o-line could actually pass protect today. Even when the Vikings aren’t blitzing they are getting pressure.

  639. 639 Insomniac said at 3:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yea back to sleep.

  640. 640 Andy124 said at 3:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    go for the damn first down instead of the bomb there though. seriously.

  641. 641 Corry said at 3:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    We have no chance. This was a shit game plan all around.

  642. 642 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Lol does moose really think that was just Foles & Djax running/throwing two different routes?!

  643. 643 shah8 said at 3:52 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Absent some miracle here, that was game.

  644. 644 Baloophi said at 3:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is going to be a rough DGR for Tommy…

  645. 645 Corry said at 3:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Really he could just summarize: “We sucked at everything.”

  646. 646 Baloophi said at 3:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I hope he does.

    Unfortunately, I think he has too much integrity to do so.

    Plus, there’s going to be a lot of Chip Kelly criticism this week so someone will need to be the level-head.

  647. 647 BlindChow said at 3:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yeah, this will be a week where I won’t be reading much about football.

  648. 648 ReginaldLennox said at 3:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    8 rushes for McCoy.

  649. 649 ACViking said at 3:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Eagles beaten in All 3 phases.

    Foles disappointing . . . but credit to the Vikings defense. Especially Jared Allen.

    More disappoint has been Kelly’s game plan.

  650. 650 Baloophi said at 3:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    4 phases if you count coaching as a phase.

  651. 651 xeynon said at 3:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Defense (horrendous) and special teams (bad) have been more at fault than offense (up and down). But yes, they’ve been beaten in all three phases today.

  652. 652 ReginaldLennox said at 3:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Do the Giants getting shut out offer any slim condolence?

  653. 653 ICDogg said at 3:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    no, but if Dallas loses to the Pack, it would

  654. 654 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    only if Dallas also gets shut out

  655. 655 BobSmith77 said at 3:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Nope.

  656. 656 RobNE said at 3:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Only cowboys loss would do so

  657. 657 anon said at 3:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Honestly eagles issues same as they always were. Line got dominated, opposing recievers had career days, ST bad. We have great run D, but if you don’t have to run the ball…

    Let’s see if we have a clutch QB — hopefully we can get another TO here.

  658. 658 jshort said at 3:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    AR must have faxed Chip the game plan.

  659. 659 Corry said at 3:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That is such a bullshit call.

  660. 660 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    probably looked like a horsecollar tackle

  661. 661 Baloophi said at 3:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Leave Chung in Minnesota, please.

  662. 662 anon said at 3:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    that’s a bad call

  663. 663 Baloophi said at 3:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    So is signing Chung.

  664. 664 BobSmith77 said at 3:55 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It wouldn’t be the Eagles though if they didn’t lose an imminently winnable game though especially since that was at least an annual occurrence under Reid.

  665. 665 Corry said at 3:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    So much for having a smart team.

  666. 666 Andy124 said at 3:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    somebody tell zebra #22 it’s not polite to point.

  667. 667 shah8 said at 3:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Well, even Webb contributed!

  668. 668 ReginaldLennox said at 3:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chung is showing some competency at least?

  669. 669 ICDogg said at 3:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    ♫ Everybody hang Chung tonight… ♪

  670. 670 Corry said at 3:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It’s not so bad losing to an all pro like Matt Cassel….oh right…

  671. 671 TheRogerPodacter said at 3:57 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    well i guess its time we all come back down to earth with this defense

  672. 672 Corry said at 3:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    With the whole team.

  673. 673 xeynon said at 4:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Any time you give up 41 points to Matt frickin’ Cassel, without Adrian Peterson playing, the defense deserves 90+% of the blame.

  674. 674 Corry said at 4:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The Offense has been off all day too, but yes, the lion’s share of the blame goes on the defense.

  675. 675 lilmc said at 3:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    All new d backfield next year! Awful and embarrassing.

  676. 676 Baloophi said at 3:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Silver lining? We’d probably be down 90 if the Vikings had any of their starters.

  677. 677 ACViking said at 3:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Only?

  678. 678 Baloophi said at 3:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    You know me, ever the optimist!

  679. 679 Crus57 said at 3:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Imagine how bad it would have been vs the Lions, without the snow last time.

  680. 680 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Sure am glad AP was out and the Vikes were forced to throw on our D.

  681. 681 BobSmith77 said at 3:58 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Everywhere body can throw a TD tonight! Every backup QB throw a TD tonight!

  682. 682 xeynon said at 3:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The offense makes a few plays to get it close and the special teams and defense promptly melt down and turn it back into a blowout. Embarrassing.

  683. 683 ACViking said at 3:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Matt Cassel looks great because the Eagles have had hardly any pressure.

    Nothing like the Vikings have brought today.

  684. 684 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    we only get pressure when we blitz heavy, but then they know its coming so its a quick relief pass. which works because our DBs are playing 10 yards off…

  685. 685 Corry said at 3:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Good job returning the ball to the 45 last time around, Brad Smith! But we’re going to put Damaris out there…because…reasons.

  686. 686 Andy124 said at 4:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    can’t risk #4 wr to injury. only slot db.

  687. 687 RobNE said at 3:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Reid would say they took away the run if chip says that I will be mad

  688. 688 Baloophi said at 4:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If he says “we saw some things on film” that will also be infuriating.

  689. 689 BlindChow said at 4:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    All the beat guys were saying we should have a great day through the air. That was the kiss of death with Reid’s teams.

  690. 690 jshort said at 3:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Now we root for GB…for those who want us to back in.

  691. 691 Baloophi said at 3:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Who is #25 on our team?

  692. 692 ACViking said at 3:59 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    And with all the smoothies, the Eagles have no injuries today.

    Oops.

  693. 693 Baloophi said at 4:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Is Foles MORE accurate in 8 inches of snow and swirling winds?

  694. 694 Crus57 said at 4:02 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Well, we know he was more accurate in 8 inches of snow than in 4 inches.. logic suggests..

  695. 695 Baloophi said at 4:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    We don’t have any underground games this season, do we?

  696. 696 Crus57 said at 4:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Apparently domes don’t count, so sadly no.

  697. 697 anon said at 4:01 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Foles looking for big plays now — TONs of open players

    One hell of an effort by Jackson there.

  702. 702 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:02 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    bryce brown coming all the way downfield to throw a block too

  703. 703 anon said at 4:02 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    JACKSON!!!!!!! PLAY HARD SON!

  704. 704 anon said at 4:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    then we get delay of game!!

  705. 705 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    OF COURSE we get the delay of game penalty there

  706. 706 ACViking said at 4:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    More room to work the EZ now after the penalty

  707. 707 Andy124 said at 4:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    prophet.

  708. 708 Pennguino said at 4:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Great fighting for it!!!!! Nice play DJ

  709. 709 Baloophi said at 4:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If only we had a running back to advance the ball forward…

  710. 710 Baloophi said at 4:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Taunting on Minnesota?
    TD catch by Avant?
    This game has it all!

  711. 711 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    oooh a TD for Avant! haven’t seen him get many this year

  712. 712 Baloophi said at 4:04 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    TIMEOUT????

    WHAT?!?!?

  713. 713 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i’m speechless. i guess he’s thinking of a 2pt conversion!?

  714. 714 Baloophi said at 4:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Which if we make it, will make it closer, but will be moot because we can’t stop the clock to get closer later.

  715. 715 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Someone’s coaching staff was unprepared.

  716. 716 Andy124 said at 4:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    doesn’t really matter at this point. padding stats now.

  717. 717 ACViking said at 4:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Wow . . . it’s Andy Reid day in Minnesota

  718. 718 Corry said at 4:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chip Kelly went drinking before the game. He had to of. He’s got to be drunk.

  719. 719 Crus57 said at 4:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    He took Foles with him, this explains his inaccuracy early on.

  720. 720 Crus57 said at 4:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Lane Johnson is also not pass blocking well. If the ball isn’t out within 2 seconds, his guy is generating pressure.

  721. 721 Iskar36 said at 4:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Incredibly bad prep there on making that decision.

  722. 722 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i gotta say, i LOVE the way Foles sells his play fakes

  723. 723 ACViking said at 4:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Looks like Foles is warming up. Perfect time.

    YES WE CAN!!!

  725. 725 Baloophi said at 4:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Moose is very impressed with Foles on the move.

    Always a Cowboy…

  726. 726 xeynon said at 4:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Great, some Andy Reid-esque clock mismanagement to finish it off.

  727. 727 jshort said at 4:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    now kick the effin thing

  728. 728 anon said at 4:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    onside kick might as well.

  729. 729 Andy124 said at 4:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    no brainer right?

  730. 730 Iskar36 said at 4:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Makes way more sense than the bs squib quicks/shallow kicks we have been doing all game.

  731. 731 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    its that or you kick it short anyway, right? might as well onsides kick…

  732. 732 ACViking said at 4:07 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    REPLAY . . . unnecessary and worthless

  733. 733 BlindChow said at 4:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They’ve been kicking onside all day, haven’t they?

  734. 734 Corry said at 4:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The refs doing all they can to find SOMETHING to not allow the points.

  735. 735 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:09 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    ok, its not just me thinking that review was a little lengthy for no good reason

  736. 736 Iskar36 said at 4:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I don’t have sound. Was the review for whether it was a catch or whether Cooper stepped out of bounds at some point in his route?

  737. 737 Corry said at 4:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Never said. They just took forever for the review.

  738. 738 Crus57 said at 4:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They thought Cooper stepped out crossing the back line of the endzone before he caught the ball.

  739. 739 Crus57 said at 4:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They are actually playing Ylvis – What Does The Fox Say in the stadium..

  740. 740 ACViking said at 4:08 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Has Henery’s leg faded?

    He’s kicking in a dome.

    Apparently, he can’t boom it out of the EZ like Walsh.

  741. 741 Baloophi said at 4:09 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Onside kick only gave them the ball about 6 yards farther than our regular kicks, so not bad.

  742. 742 scratcherk said at 4:09 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Simpsons got ups.

  743. 743 Andy124 said at 4:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yeah, he’s the guy that hurdled a guy with a flip a couple years ago.

  744. 744 jshort said at 4:09 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Score 30 and lose!!! sucks

  745. 745 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    score 30 with a couple of misfires on offense too.

  746. 746 Baloophi said at 4:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is what’s known across the world as “Asiata Time.”

  747. 747 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    onsides kick didn’t look too bad. just didn’t have the guys there to get it. either MIN blocked all our WRs or we didn’t have anybody but LBs on that side of the field.

  748. 748 Baloophi said at 4:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Don’t worry, we’ve got all three timeouts to…

    Oh.

  749. 749 scratcherk said at 4:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This loss is on the D.

  750. 750 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    anytime you put up 30 points with your offense, you are probably going to be looking at your defense to ask why they gave up more

  751. 751 Iskar36 said at 4:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Any time the D gives up 41 points, it’s on the D.

  752. 752 anon said at 4:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No its on the special teams — we’re squib kicking every kick no good field position. Fear of patterson crippled the team — bad game plan.

  753. 753 Iskar36 said at 4:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Certainly not saying the STs or the offense don’t share part of the blame, but even with bad field position you have to make a stop on defense at some point. Can’t blame STs for the defense not being to get off the field.

  754. 754 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Largely true. But we also gave them great field position and had plenty of 3-and-outs.

  755. 755 Baloophi said at 4:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Queue up the back-breaking 3rd and long conversion…

  756. 756 Baloophi said at 4:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Kablammo.

  757. 757 Andy124 said at 4:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I blame you for that one.

  758. 758 Baloophi said at 4:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Me too.

  759. 759 RobNE said at 4:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Exactly

  760. 760 Crus57 said at 4:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The Giants got shut out by the Seahawks, and Foles has 393 yards passing and 3 TDs in a loss.

  761. 761 anon said at 4:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i was sort of looking for foles to have some stats but i’d take 100 yds and 1 td all day

  762. 762 Crus57 said at 4:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Also, Foles has more rushing yards than Shady.. that one is on Chip.

  763. 763 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:11 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    what a weak tackle attempt from Fletcher

  764. 764 anon said at 4:12 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Anyone else thin Fletch isn’t that good? Lots of PI penalties — maybe it’s just b/c we’ve been getting exploited today.

  765. 765 xeynon said at 4:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Other than Boykin, none of our CBs are good. The defensive backfield has to be one of the top priorities this offseason.

  766. 766 anon said at 4:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    yeah not clear FO cares at all — DBs have been an issue for 4 years.

  767. 767 ACViking said at 4:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Really? What about the signing of Nnamdi and the trade for DRC.

  768. 768 xeynon said at 4:21 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Right. They have tried to address the defensive backfield, they just haven’t done so very effectively. Williams, Fletcher, and Chung are all band aid type players and won’t be starting the next time this team is a legitimate contender. Hopefully Wolff develops into the first piece of what will be a championship-caliber secondary..

  769. 769 jshort said at 4:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    could be officials are calling a tight game

  771. 771 Andy124 said at 4:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    bad game for everyone on D today. But big picture, whole season, he’s a solid #2. And another blatant PI as I type this…

  772. 772 Baloophi said at 4:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is a really concerning game from Kelly. We can’t speak to preparation because we don’t see it, but from a play selection standpoint this was wretched.

    8 runs from the league’s leading rusher is inexcusable. I don’t care how great you think their defensive front is or how bad their secondary is.

  773. 773 ACViking said at 4:13 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Eagles defense totally exposed by a mediocre QB.

    Very curious to see how the Eagles play against the Bears . . . because that game will be trouble. Cutler’s no Terrrelle Pryor.

    Then on to Dallas. Against another good QB.

  774. 774 Baloophi said at 4:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It seems the biggest opponent the Eagles need to focus on is themselves…

  775. 775 ReginaldLennox said at 4:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I guess sometimes “bend but don’t break” … breaks.

  776. 776 Baloophi said at 4:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    If you constantly bend but don’t break, you’re due for a catastrophic fissure.

  777. 777 DamonL86 said at 4:14 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Well we got to see where our D really is at today.

  778. 778 anon said at 4:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Field position, stopping the run and pressuring the QB, are the keys to our D — only did one of those today and added bad field position. I’d worry if i was the bears next week this team is going to be on fire.

  779. 779 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand another big penalty on Fletcher. sheesh.

  780. 780 ReginaldLennox said at 4:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    His MO from STL

  781. 781 scratcherk said at 4:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    New cb please.

  782. 782 Crus57 said at 4:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I think one thing this game tells me is we need opposing teams to at least focus a bit on their running game, because if they focus on passing they can tear us apart. Losing their #1 and #2 RB may be the best thing that happened to the Vikings, for this week.

  783. 783 Baloophi said at 4:15 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Remember, Billy Davis tells his team to adjust to the refereeing…

  784. 784 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    they have been calling it the same all game – can’t believe our DBs can’t adjust

  787. 787 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    if the Vikes score here, they put up almost as much points on us as Denver did. do we really think their offenses are comparable?

  788. 788 anon said at 4:21 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yes …pass heavy

  789. 789 Pennguino said at 4:16 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This loss is on me. I always pick the Eagles in the Yahoo pick’em. I only put 1 confident point in it as to not be cocky. This week I broke ranks and put 14 points on them.

    We get this loss out of the way. Win out the rest of the way and we still get in.

  790. 790 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i take some blame too. my roommate invited a friend over and he seems to be poison to our team (even though i’m the only one watching this game). last time he was here was for 1) the Cowboys game and 2) the Giants game.

    i know who is no longer allowed in the apartment on sundays. lol

  791. 791 ReginaldLennox said at 4:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Remember all the promise when we were within five?

  792. 792 ReginaldLennox said at 4:17 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I blame the Lions game for all my hopes being squashed.

  793. 793 disqus_jB7dl5fzvO said at 4:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    We should just never cut anyone. Former Eagles Chase Ford and Shaun Prater screwed us. Just cut Chung and keep the team as is

  794. 794 ReginaldLennox said at 4:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    But then he’ll be an all-pro

  795. 795 Baloophi said at 4:18 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This is pretty bad for wild card purposes, too, no?

  796. 796 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    almost definitely. going to be hard to make it in as a wildcard with SF & Carolina sitting at 9 wins already.

  797. 797 Baloophi said at 4:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Also from tie-breaking, conference record purposes, right?

  798. 798 xeynon said at 4:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No need to worry about that. The WC almost certainly wasn’t in play even before this loss.

  802. 802 ACViking said at 4:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Kelly’s post-game presser will be, “I didn’t put the players in position to succeed; the Viking executed their assignments better than we did.”

  803. 803 Corry said at 4:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It’s as if the D had no idea they were just going to run the ball over and over again.

  804. 804 scratcherk said at 4:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Chip outsmarted himself today. No reason McCoy should ever have just 8 touches.

  805. 805 anon said at 4:19 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    damn vikings put up 50 points on us. Terrible game planning today.

  806. 806 ACViking said at 4:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Needed to let him score faster.

  807. 807 Andy124 said at 4:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    So, the Vikings offense really was mediocre because of AP.

  808. 808 Corry said at 4:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    We should trade for him. Offer a 6th.

  809. 809 ACViking said at 4:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Vikings need to trade AP.

  810. 810 RobNE said at 4:20 PM on December 15th, 2013:

  818. 818 Bob Brewer said at 4:22 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The defense has been helped by refs who let them play. They didn’t let them play today and they just aren’t good enough.

  819. 819 ReginaldLennox said at 4:22 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Really curious why they chose Damaris there.

  820. 820 Andy124 said at 4:22 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    should be kneeling or playing the backups.

  824. 824 SteveH said at 4:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    We were poop today. Shit gameplan with not using Shady, shit plan on special teams giving them good field position all day, shit defense couldn’t stop anything through the air, really just a tiny handful of players who did well today.

  825. 825 Cafone said at 4:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    throw it to DeSean, he’s 5 yards short of 200

  826. 826 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    i’d like to see him get to 200 as well

  827. 827 Baloophi said at 4:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    They’re even over-throwing the refs after the play!

  828. 828 Andy124 said at 4:23 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    well, at least they got foles over 400 yards. That was important.

  829. 829 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:24 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    only the numbers are important in hindsight (remember the yards given up against the raiders?!)

    but the only real important numbers: 48 – 30 –> 8 & 6

    Seems like we’re always going to be good for at least one inexplicable loss a season.

  836. 836 GEAGLE said at 4:25 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Offensively, problems across the board.
    Chip never let shady get looser both Chip and FOles were greedy always swinging or the fences.
    Took FOles too long to get going, although JP/Lane, WRs dropping balls and not getting open certainly didn’t help…this got better as the game went on, but our OTs gave up backbreaking sacks on crucial 3rd downs…

    With that said, ANYTIME I see 30pts on the board, I expect to win. THIS ONE is on my defense, then Chip, then the offense…can’t single out FOles when our OTs don’t play well enough and our skill position players kept us from getting into a Rythem early.

  837. 837 BlindChow said at 4:26 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Also, no Shady.

  838. 838 Pennguino said at 4:30 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I am going to have and go with the Defense as the main part for this loss. Then Foles and the offense. Foles was off most of the day and he had a few drops on key downs. More pressure allowed from the OTs. But the players have to execute the game plan. Then I blame Chip for not adjusting and getting Shady more involved.

  839. 839 Cafone said at 4:25 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The defense and the decision to squib kick all day long deserve most of the blame, but I’m going to blame Riley Cooper anyway.

  840. 840 BlindChow said at 4:25 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The Cowboys loss last week gave us this one-loss window, but from the looks of it, this team doesn’t deserve to make the playoffs.

  848. 848 Baloophi said at 4:27 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Also, Buck and Aikman… not a good sign for viewers.

  849. 849 Crus57 said at 4:28 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It’s the Dallas game, that goes without saying.

  850. 850 TheRogerPodacter said at 4:28 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    yea, i dont think i’m going to watch this game haha

  851. 851 FairOaks said at 4:27 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    The defensive performance does not make me too confident about playing the Bears, who also have very tough-to-contain WRs. If their QB play can get the ball there it could be a long day on defense again.

  852. 852 Corry said at 4:28 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Looks like Dom Capers is using Bill Davis’ gameplan for this game. It’s the one where you let their wide receivers open and hope the QB is just bad.

  853. 853 BlindChow said at 4:30 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Except without the penalties extending the opposing team’s drives.

  854. 854 Corry said at 4:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Well to be fair, they don’t have a CB the quality of Bradley Fletcher.

    “Well that kind sucked”…aka typical response from an eagles fan after losing another game which they shouldn’t have….sad to say we can’t blame this on a Tuesday night game….we stunk it up today in all phases….coaches and players…

  856. 856 Frencheaglesfan said at 4:31 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Guys, this game is perfect. We realise once again as fans that we are still a step below being a good playoff team. Our defense needs help. But I’m really glad of our offense reaction and foles. Without the bad d and bad st Tommy and us could have noticed a come back victory by foles. Not bad.

  857. 857 ICDogg said at 4:33 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Saw way too much Bad Foles in this game and not enough Good Foles. So Foles is not off the hook as far as I’m concerned.

  858. 858 Corry said at 4:34 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    It’s a team loss, but I agreed earlier with someone that the D gets the lion’s share of the blame.

    there’s also the special teams game plan to squib kick everything. But you can’t give up 48 points to the Vikings. You just can’t.

  859. 859 ICDogg said at 4:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    You also can’t expect to win by holding the ball too long and throwing wobbly ducks in a dome for more than half the game.

  860. 860 Corry said at 4:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Oh believe me, Foles doesn’t escape getting his share of the blame. He was bad to below average for most of the game and his statistics for the day don’t really describe it that well, but you have to expect a better performance from the D when facing the likes of what’s-his-face the RB and Matt Cassel.

    The whole game was a cluster-fuck. Piss poor game planning and management. Starts from the top and rolls down hill to everyone.

  861. 861 ICDogg said at 4:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Oh, the D sucked royally, I don’t think anyone questions that. It’s just that the O wasn’t so good either.

  862. 862 Corry said at 4:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    So we’re in agreement then: Everybody sucked.

  863. 863 Andy124 said at 4:36 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    He wasn’t perfect, but I think he was a lot better than the emotion of a loss is telling you. He missed some throws and made some wrong decisions, but what quarterback doesn’t over the course of a game? Overall, he did enough for us to win.

  864. 864 Frencheaglesfan said at 4:38 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Agreed but in the first half he didn ´t have a lot of help from the teammates and coaching. We can ´t expect manning play from him. It ´s just a shame that we were once again a good half team. But there is a lot to like about our offense reaction.

  865. 865 BlindChow said at 4:39 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    No kidding. I can’t believe McCoy only got 8 carries. That’s inexcusably bad coaching imo.

  866. 866 jshort said at 4:32 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Bears receivers are better than what we faced here

  867. 867 Corry said at 4:33 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    And both of their QBs are probably better.

  868. 868 OregonDucker said at 4:33 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I am in awe at the lack of execution by O and D. NFL = Not For Long…..

  869. 869 ICDogg said at 4:35 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    I know that philosophically the “every game is the Super Bowl” should keep them from having a letdown game, but it’s easier said than done.

  870. 870 jshort said at 4:37 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Have lots to talk about this week…..

  871. 871 GEAGLE said at 6:00 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Nothing to talk about, plenty to forget lol

  872. 872 GEAGLE said at 4:35 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Silver lining…if we can duplicate another 5 game win streak…a fun parade will take place 🙂
    ..
    As of today, extremely dissapointing across the board, with the exception of:
    Heremans,Mathis,Kelce didn’t give up much pressure, OTs were bad
    Kendricks was strong
    Benny Logan best Lineman today

    Offense showed some nice things, but it’s hard to get excited when my defense looked like Dallas last week giving up points on every drive for most of the game

  873. 873 jshort said at 4:40 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Wouldn’t that leave us one short?

  874. 874 BlindChow said at 4:41 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Depends on when it starts, I guess.

  875. 875 OregonDucker said at 4:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Really disappointed in effort by the team. Many did not seem to have their head in the game.

  876. 876 jshort said at 4:44 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    even being a fan….I wasn’t that much into this game…and not really feeling that bad now.

  877. 877 BlindChow said at 4:46 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Strangely, I’m not anywhere near as disappointed as I was after losses earlier in the year. Most of my ire is directed at Kelly for the non-stop passing. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?

  878. 878 jshort said at 4:45 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Could be in shock…..almost 50 put up on us

  879. 879 Baloophi said at 4:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Including, sadly, the head coach. Blowing the timeout because he didn’t realize they needed to go for two… the non-challenge on the crappy spot before the 4th and 1 attempt… which then forced him to challenge a basically unchallengeable play on the next play… refusal to stick with the run. Weird game for Kelly.

  880. 880 ICDogg said at 4:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    And all that squib kicking. That’s coaching from fear.

  881. 881 jshort said at 4:54 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That was pissing me off too……!

  882. 882 BlindChow said at 4:42 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Is your iPad okay?

  883. 883 ICDogg said at 4:56 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    You’ll be able to tell by how the name FOles looks.

  884. 884 jshort said at 4:47 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    not looking like cowboys want there game either

  885. 885 ACViking said at 4:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Kelly: No running because the Eagles O-line couldn’t block the Viking?

    Wow.

  886. 886 ACViking said at 4:48 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    That’s Andy Reid talking

  887. 887 Baloophi said at 4:49 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Yep. All it takes is one play where they do block…

    Pretty crappy day of play-calling.

  888. 888 Mitchell said at 4:51 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    This truly was a rough game, but lets take a second to look on the bright side. Did we ever think we would be in the playoff hunt at all this season? Chip is still a rookie coach in the NFL and has shown the ability to learn from his mistakes. Nick Foles is still playing pretty damn well. Our defense obviously still needs some work but at least we were still able to hold opponents of under 21 points for 9 weeks! In summation, this game really really really sucked but things could be worse. Did you see Eli throw 5 ints? That’s right 5!!!

  889. 889 Baloophi said at 4:53 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    One small practice suggestion for this week: “Throw the ball away rather than take the sack” drill.

  890. 890 RobNE said at 5:05 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    And step up and make a fair catch

    And get your resume together if you can’t kickoff deep in a dome

    Or your name is Chung

  891. 891 RobNE said at 5:03 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Dallas could be resting their starters against us.

  892. 892 jshort said at 5:10 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Could very well be. Would really like that game to mean something.

  893. 893 Corry said at 5:06 PM on December 15th, 2013:

    Looks like the Packers aren’t going to give us any help.
