Enjoy the Ride

Posted: September 7th, 2014 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 488 Comments »

Someday the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl. They may go 14-2 and dominate on the way to that happening. They might go 11-5 and look good. They could go 9-7 and pull off a huge surprise. The point is that you never know which year is going to be the magical year. Try to enjoy the ride.

This could be a special season for the Eagles. At the very least, let’s hope it is a fun one.

Go Eagles!!!

* * * * *

Inactives are in:

QB Matt Barkley
RB Chris Polk
WR Josh Huff
OL Dennis Kelly
OL Matt Tobin

DE Taylor Hart
DB Jaylen Watkins

Polk is the one that grabs your attention. That means that there are only 2 RBs active, Sproles and Shady. Trey Burton can play RB if needed. Brad Smith can take direct snaps and run the ball.

It is good that Marcus Smith is active and playing. I’m hoping we see him on D and STs.

* * * * *

Everyone feels pretty confident today. Anyone nervous about this game?

    I really wanna see Smith gets a sack, do not care if its late 4th quarter, just to shut up the haters

  2. 2 GEAGLE said at 1:04 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Let them keep talking…, I like it so you get to see who the clueless people really are when smith grows into the beats he is destined to be

  11. 11 SteveH said at 1:00 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I get more of a knot in my gut. A knot that will only go away after we have annihilated all of our competition.

  12. 12 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:00 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Random comment, but the jaguars really need to move to Mexico City.

  13. 13 McNabbulousness said at 1:02 PM on September 7th, 2014:

  14. 14 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:02 PM on September 7th, 2014:

  18. 18 McNabbulousness said at 1:05 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    NOT FIRED UP ENOUGH!

  19. 19 T_S_O_P said at 1:03 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    on NFL live, can you get to listen to Mel and Like rather than the Muppets?

  20. 20 BC1968 said at 1:05 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Couldn’t ask for a better start.

  21. 21 GEAGLE said at 1:05 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    oh, crap

  29. 29 SteveH said at 1:08 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    booooo. what the fuck.

  30. 30 T_S_O_P said at 1:08 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    1st 20+ of the year. What’s the over/under?

  31. 31 GEAGLE said at 1:09 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Peters needs to hold that block. He is better than that

  32. 32 Spooonius said at 1:09 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I think that’s a tuck. Edit: if that’s still a rule.

  33. 33 McNabbulousness said at 1:09 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    theres no tuck rule anymore

  34. 34 McNabbulousness said at 1:09 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    was that on foles or the o line?

  35. 35 GEAGLE said at 1:09 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Both… Peters needs to do better

  36. 36 jshort said at 1:10 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Peters

  37. 37 jshort said at 1:09 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That’s the kind of shit I was worried about.

  38. 38 GEAGLE said at 1:11 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Relax… They were going to bring it early in the game,,,, we will wear them down, and as they game unfolds you will see the cream rise to the top…. Doesn’t matter what happens on offense, our defense is the truth!!

  39. 39 GEAGLE said at 1:11 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Enjoy Kendricks probowl season… Hi haters!!!

  40. 40 McNabbulousness said at 1:11 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    kendricks baby

  41. 41 Baloophi said at 1:11 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    First sack of the year!

  42. 42 McNabbulousness said at 1:12 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    hopefully for the jags their season is better than their unis

  43. 43 Baloophi said at 1:13 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Leeeeeroy JENKINS!

  44. 44 McNabbulousness said at 1:13 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    at least i have chicken!

  45. 45 GEAGLE said at 1:13 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Lol enjoy your field goals the rest of the way,…

  46. 46 Anders said at 1:14 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    sorry but that TD is why Williams is overrated.

  47. 47 GEAGLE said at 1:14 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Lol ok..must suck to have to watch him next year too…sorry

  48. 48 Anders said at 1:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Williams just got torched by the awesome combo of Henne to Hurns…

    Sorry but Williams was talking smack all week how he would abuse these rookie WRs and then he gives up a long TD…..

  49. 49 Baloophi said at 1:14 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Sconces has his backpedal down… just needs to work on the turn and cover part…

  50. 50 McNabbulousness said at 1:14 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    and thats why you don’t turn the ball over…

  51. 51 GEAGLE said at 1:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    This team was only getting 1 TD and 3 or 4 FGs today…

  52. 52 McNabbulousness said at 1:17 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    we also don ‘t play the jags all 16 games

  53. 53 SteveH said at 1:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Well this feels like someone just walked up to the birthday cake, pulled down their trousers and took a wet splattering dump all over it.

  54. 54 Crus57 said at 1:17 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    To be fair, we dropped the cake first.

  55. 55 BlindChow said at 1:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    We always seem to make marginal quarterbacks look great.

  56. 56 BobSmith77 said at 1:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Excellent safety play. Now this crowd will become dead quiet like michigan. No team has arguably less if an advantage of playing at home as the eagles do.

  57. 57 scratcherk said at 1:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    This had the feel of a sound game

  58. 58 Spooonius said at 1:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The entire team contributed to that TD. Multiple breakdowns.

  59. 59 Baloophi said at 1:17 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    To be fair, you can’t stop Allen Hurns…

  60. 60 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:17 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Yea. Its feature LeSean time.

  61. 61 BC1968 said at 1:18 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Shady being Shady.

  62. 62 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:20 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    ruh roh

  63. 63 BC1968 said at 1:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Nobody’s fucking open

  64. 64 Baloophi said at 1:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    sarcasm font: Looks like the NFL has figured out Chip Kelly.

  65. 65 scratcherk said at 1:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Foles needs to commit, too many pulldowns

  66. 66 shah8 said at 1:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Jesus

  67. 67 shah8 said at 1:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Preserve us!

  68. 68 shah8 said at 1:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Come on, HEED MY PRAYERS!

  69. 69 Baloophi said at 1:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He didn’t have enough time to set and throw deep to Maclin… who was wide open.

  70. 70 McNabbulousness said at 1:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    just like last year, holding on to the ball too long

  71. 71 Flyin said at 1:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Ugly!

  72. 72 scratcherk said at 1:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    o mygoodness..

  73. 73 BlindChow said at 1:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I can’t believe how awful they look.

  74. 74 Baloophi said at 1:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Hurns is having a good start to his NFL career…

  75. 75 Mitchell said at 1:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    what the fuck is this?

  76. 76 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Was Patrick Chung in on that tackle?

  77. 77 jshort said at 1:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Thought we were supposed to be doing that.

  78. 78 Mitchell said at 1:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Jesus this is so ugly

  79. 79 Baloophi said at 1:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Jacksonville really excels when you hand them the ball with a short field.

  80. 80 Iskar36 said at 1:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    So… Improved secondary?

  81. 81 Mitchell said at 1:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    yeh, can’t say we aren’t getting pressure this game.

  82. 82 McNabbulousness said at 1:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    hurns, a rookie, has his first two career catches be TDs

  83. 83 scratcherk said at 1:24 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    so who drafted hearns in their fantasy league

  84. 84 BlindChow said at 1:24 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Ah, takes me back to 2012…

  85. 85 Anders said at 1:25 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    yea, Foles really needs to be Vick 2012 (minus the runs)

  86. 86 Anders said at 1:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    not to be…

  87. 87 Spooonius said at 1:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    this game is giving me the runs…

  88. 88 scratcherk said at 1:25 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Eagles didnt play football that year did they?

  89. 89 Baloophi said at 1:25 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    CB just leaped to the top of next year’s draft needs…

  90. 90 Anders said at 1:25 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It was already top of my list

  91. 91 Baloophi said at 1:25 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Nice… I had it tied with OT.

  92. 92 BC1968 said at 1:25 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    They have to settle down and get things together on this drive

  93. 93 BC1968 said at 1:26 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    These commercials add to the torture.

  94. 94 scratcherk said at 1:26 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    My wife: Arent the Eagles supposed to be good this year?

  95. 95 SteveH said at 1:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    My god, our secondary is so miserable. Why oh why did we delude ourselves into thinking it was going to be better?

  96. 96 McNabbulousness said at 1:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    bc chung isn’t on the roster anymore

  97. 97 Baloophi said at 1:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Tough to defeat the one-two combo of Allen Hurns and Jeff Triplette…

  98. 98 TommyLawlor said at 1:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    They’re undefeated.

  99. 99 Crus57 said at 1:28 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I mean, Allen Hurns has a 100% TD rate, how do you defend against that?

  100. 100 Baloophi said at 1:29 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Apparently not with Cary Williams…

  101. 101 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    What happened to emphasis on Foles getting the ball out quicker?

  102. 102 scratcherk said at 1:28 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He’s not taking the easy ones, he had sproles/mccoy open on the flat

  103. 103 BC1968 said at 1:28 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I still see them winning this game as crazy as that sounds.

  104. 104 GEAGLE said at 1:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    No shit they are going to win… How is that even in doubt?

  105. 105 scratcherk said at 1:29 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Pound it.

  106. 106 GEAGLE said at 1:29 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I’m going to get into a fight at this game…surrounded by a bunch of front running, pussy fans, who think the game is over. Fools. When exactly did philly fans start having this expectation that an NFL game is just a 60 min walk in the park…Adversity oh my god, let’s just quit right now and call it a day…. Front runners shouldn’t even get to enjoy this comeback win they are about to see… Smh

  107. 107 McNabbulousness said at 1:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    u at the game?

  108. 108 GEAGLE said at 1:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Yup….first time in my life that I’m at a game by myself

  109. 109 McNabbulousness said at 1:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    just remember it’s not healthy to drink alone

  110. 110 GEAGLE said at 1:33 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Lol not drinking today… Asshole I gave a ticket too, had an emergency and couldn’t make it

  111. 111 Baloophi said at 1:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    What happened to running it? Did Chip promise Andy a few plays?

  112. 112 scratcherk said at 1:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Sigh. too many pumps.

  113. 113 McNabbulousness said at 1:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    thats what she said

  114. 114 Baloophi said at 1:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It’s like Imelda Marcos…

  115. 115 scratcherk said at 1:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    DAMN IT FOLES, FUCKING THROW IT.

  116. 116 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Dear Nick, slide up in the pocket, throw ball.

  117. 117 BC1968 said at 1:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Turnover in our favor would help.

  118. 118 Baloophi said at 1:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It’s looking a little like BAD Foles right now… like, Dallas Game 1 Foles. People are open, but he’s hesitating.

  119. 119 Crus57 said at 1:33 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He’s trying to hit a big play, not taking what’s open

  120. 120 SteveH said at 1:33 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Nick Foles collapsing under the weight of expectations.

  121. 121 Baloophi said at 1:34 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    A Brandon Graham sighting!

  122. 122 jshort said at 1:34 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Might be Nick needs to be concussed….so he can start playing out of his mind

  123. 123 BC1968 said at 1:34 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Really need this 3rd down.

  124. 124 SteveH said at 1:34 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    B Grizzle… The only people looking good now are the D front 7.

  125. 125 GEAGLE said at 1:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Yes!!!! I been trying to get that nickname to stick for 3 years!! Thank you!!!

  126. 126 BC1968 said at 1:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Sucks can’t decline that

  127. 127 Baloophi said at 1:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    You can’t decline that? WTF?

  128. 128 McNabbulousness said at 1:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    it’s technically pre snap

  129. 129 Baloophi said at 1:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Ugh. Shades of snapping it over the QB’s head in Chicago… and then that not being called a fumble.

  130. 130 jshort said at 1:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It’s starting to turn.

  131. 131 GEAGLE said at 1:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Its inevitable

  132. 132 BC1968 said at 1:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That’s nice, they gave them 3rd and 2 and really stepped up. Now we get field position and can turn this game

  133. 133 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Nate Allen!!!

  134. 134 SteveH said at 1:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Nate Allen taketh away and now giveth.

  135. 135 Baloophi said at 1:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Triplette’s getting cranky…

  136. 136 McNabbulousness said at 1:37 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    more commercials, fuck you nfl

  137. 137 SteveH said at 1:37 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    So far Foles, the OL pass protection and Secondary all look like puke, but Shady and the defensive front 7 look superb.

  138. 138 BC1968 said at 1:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I don’t know, he’s had time to get the ball out.

  139. 139 BC1968 said at 1:37 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    After that offsides they really stepped up, lets not call this defense a bust yet. lol..can’t believe i had to say that already .

  140. 140 GEAGLE said at 1:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Dude, you will see we have a good defense.

  141. 141 anon said at 1:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    What does good mean we are playing the jags…

  142. 142 scratcherk said at 1:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Glad to see Curry and Graham on the field

  143. 143 Anders said at 1:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Nate Allen was reminiscence of Dawkins on that sack

  144. 144 scratcherk said at 1:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Only time those two names shared a sentence

  145. 145 Patrick said at 1:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    We can’t cover, we can’t tackle, we can’t block and Foles doesnt look like a NFL QB. Lets hope we’re just a little rusty and turn it on soon

  146. 146 McNabbulousness said at 1:40 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    it’s probably more we’re taking the jags for granted, and you can’t do that in the nfl

  147. 147 Baloophi said at 1:40 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The “we’re going to use Sproles as a RB” experiment has been fun and all…

  148. 148 BC1968 said at 1:40 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    3rd and 11 and they take out their number 1 receiver?

  149. 149 McNabbulousness said at 1:40 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    go for it

  150. 150 BC1968 said at 1:41 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Wow that was awesome.

  151. 151 Baloophi said at 1:41 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The Donnie Jones / Brandon Boykin connection still works at least…

  152. 152 McNabbulousness said at 1:41 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    donnie football!

  153. 153 Flyin said at 1:41 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    No turnover. Good job Nick.

  154. 154 McNabbulousness said at 1:41 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    baby steps

  155. 155 SteveH said at 1:41 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Jesus Christ, its like half the team is shit and the other half is awesome. Special teams doing awesome, front 7, awesome, shady, awesome. Everything else? Shit.

  156. 156 Baloophi said at 1:41 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Get Curry in there…

  157. 157 Baloophi said at 1:42 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Zero pass rush.

  158. 158 BC1968 said at 1:42 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    This reminds me of that tennesee game

  159. 159 Baloophi said at 1:42 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Yes! Great call.

  160. 160 GEAGLE said at 1:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    This wlll be an eagles blowout win, that doesn’t reflect how close the game actually was…

  161. 161 shah8 said at 1:42 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    shudda been watching Minny today.

  162. 162 Baloophi said at 1:42 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Normally I’d say pull Sconces, but what’s behind him? Other than Hurns, of course…

  163. 163 Crus57 said at 1:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Carroll

  164. 164 McNabbulousness said at 1:42 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    hearns will make the probowl just on his stats alone this game

  165. 165 BC1968 said at 1:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    This penalty is going to be a killer

  166. 166 SteveH said at 1:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Fletcher Cox just destroyed that, but couldnt help himself from horse collering. Jesus.

  167. 167 Baloophi said at 1:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Not a horse collar! Thanks, Triplette!

  168. 168 SteveH said at 1:44 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Awesome, wrong penalty. Fuck this day.

  169. 169 BC1968 said at 1:44 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Did he really pull that down? Come on

  170. 170 GEAGLE said at 1:44 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That wasn’t illegal. It looked bad be he Cox is a monster

  171. 171 BC1968 said at 1:44 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That fucker barely got on the back of the jersey.

  172. 172 GEAGLE said at 1:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He got penalized for being too strong and ragdolling a power RB

  173. 173 McNabbulousness said at 1:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    bad fucking call

  174. 174 Baloophi said at 1:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    “I agree with the call, but it wasn’t a horse collar.”

  175. 175 BC1968 said at 1:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Exactly wtf?

  176. 176 Anders said at 1:46 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I agree with the call, but it wasnt targeting….

  177. 177 scratcherk said at 1:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Not a f-ing horse collar u flaming a-hole

  178. 178 47_Ronin said at 2:01 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It was a horse collar tackle, a defensive player can’t pull the ball carrier to ground by the collar, shoulder pads, or jersey – Rule 12, article 15

  179. 179 BC1968 said at 1:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The announcer agrees with the call that wasn’t right.

  180. 180 BlindChow said at 1:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    We were losing this game all right on our own, we didn’t need the refs’ help.

  181. 181 McNabbulousness said at 1:46 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    truth

  182. 182 BC1968 said at 1:46 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Exactly, your defense makes a great play and it gives 15 yards to the offense. That’s putrid

  183. 183 Baloophi said at 1:46 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Seems like Sconces is biting big time on the double-moves. Trying to do too much in the first game?

  184. 184 BC1968 said at 1:47 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I hope he’s out for the game because of that lame call

  185. 185 McNabbulousness said at 1:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    i don’t know about that, but i do hope triplette gets hit the face with the ball

  186. 186 Baloophi said at 1:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Are you referring to Triplette?

  187. 187 SteveH said at 1:47 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    lol, announcer calling it a “horse tackle”.

  188. 188 ACViking said at 1:47 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Bad start when the only highlight is downing a punt at the 1 yard line.

  189. 189 Baloophi said at 1:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Ahoy, AC!

  190. 190 ACViking said at 1:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Tuning in late, I’m afraid.

    Heard most of 1stQ on radio

  191. 191 Baloophi said at 1:47 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    They should call that a “Pony Collar.”

  192. 192 Crus57 said at 1:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    More like a Midget Collar, because he’d have to be a foot shorter for that to be where his collar is.

  193. 193 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    We need to get to halftime down no more than 7. That starts with a stop here.

  194. 194 Baloophi said at 1:49 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Good… Sconces is begging for a taunting call. He’s earned that right today…

  195. 195 McNabbulousness said at 1:49 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    logan down

  196. 196 BC1968 said at 1:49 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That was an illegal block and he’s bitching

  197. 197 BC1968 said at 1:50 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It’s weird because the defense has been swarming and looking downright good for some plays and them wtf happens

  198. 198 ACViking said at 1:50 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    So far I can only quote Lombardi . . .

    “What the hell’s goin’ on out there?!?”

  199. 199 Patrick said at 1:52 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Henne: 6/9 for 115 yards and 2 TDs. Hurns: 3 catches for 101 yards and 2 TDs. That pretty much says it right? Chad effing Henne!

  200. 200 ACViking said at 1:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It does, indeed

  201. 201 Patrick said at 1:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Our secondary is still no where close of where they need to be. The D is doing good against the run, but when Chad Henne does that to you, something needs to change.

  202. 202 Anders said at 1:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Feels like the Vikings game where we couldnt stop Cassell

  203. 203 Patrick said at 1:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    AKA the two best QBs in the game!

  204. 204 Baloophi said at 1:51 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Barwin doing his thing!

  205. 205 SteveH said at 1:51 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Front 7 delivers again. Them and the special teams the only units worth a damn.

  206. 206 BC1968 said at 1:51 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    NIce Barwin. Saved the Dallas game with that kind of play last year.

  207. 207 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:51 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Of course he made it.

  208. 208 Baloophi said at 1:51 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Apparently the Jags brought in Henery this week… too bad they didn’t sign him.

  209. 209 BC1968 said at 1:52 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    3 points off a bad penalty call. I don’t feel all that bad, I think they can start their comeback now

  210. 210 SteveH said at 1:52 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    We’re not coming back from shit until Foles gets his head out of his ass.

  211. 211 McNabbulousness said at 1:52 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    barwin!

  212. 212 ACViking said at 1:52 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Baloophi . . .

    Was Parkey’s opening kickoff thru the EZ?

    All I heard on the radio was touchback and then cheering drowing out the rest of whatever they said

  213. 213 Crus57 said at 1:52 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Rolled through, dropped at about the 2 I think

  214. 214 SteveH said at 1:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Yes, albeit in a bouncing side of the end zone kind of way.

  215. 215 Baloophi said at 1:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Hit at the 2 and bounced through the back of the end zone… and into our hearts.

  216. 216 ACViking said at 1:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    that’s beautiful

  217. 217 ACViking said at 1:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Should have asked . . . “ON THE FLY?”

  218. 218 Baloophi said at 1:52 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Minus the snow, feels like the Detroit game first half… let’s hope the second half also feels like that game.

  219. 219 GEAGLE said at 1:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    This will be an eagles blowout win, That was much closer than the box score will show….

  220. 220 Anders said at 1:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Only if Cary Williams is benched and Foles gets his head out of his ass

  221. 221 scratcherk said at 1:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I think they can win, but def wont be a blowout. Jags defense will be much improved this year.

  222. 222 BobSmith77 said at 2:00 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Delusional.

  223. 223 BC1968 said at 1:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Ok TD return here will turn the tide.

  224. 224 BC1968 said at 1:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Or not

  225. 225 SteveH said at 1:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    TD drives and 44 of 21 yards. Awesome.

  226. 226 anon said at 1:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Sanchez time??

  227. 227 jshort said at 1:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    we are going to win this

  228. 228 BobSmith77 said at 1:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Game. This defense isn’t good to hold the jags scoreless the rest of the game.

  229. 229 Baloophi said at 1:55 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Hey! Run the ball!

  230. 230 Baloophi said at 1:55 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Never mind?

  231. 231 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:55 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Hate to say it, But Foles looks awful.

  232. 232 SteveH said at 1:55 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I love these stretch runs that go nowhere.

  233. 233 BC1968 said at 1:55 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Foles looks terrible and I don’t waste a game here.

  234. 234 BC1968 said at 1:56 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He fucking sucks

  235. 235 SteveH said at 1:56 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Anyone still believe the OL is playing well? 3 different OL got beat on that play.

  236. 236 Baloophi said at 1:56 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Looks like we’re definitely going to need a pick 6 or something to get on the board…

  237. 237 BobSmith77 said at 1:56 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Barber has been horrible early on.

  238. 238 Crus57 said at 1:57 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Nobody has been good

  239. 239 SteveH said at 1:57 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Lets just take the Defensive front 7 and stick them on offense. Will probably get better results.

  240. 240 SteveH said at 1:57 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Sign of progress: Foles did not fumble on that sack.

  241. 241 DarthBanner said at 1:58 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    At what point do you go to sanchez?

  242. 242 scratcherk said at 1:58 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    When you’re ready to give up on the season

  243. 243 Crus57 said at 1:58 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    If we’re scoreless in the 4th quarter, maybe.

  244. 244 ACViking said at 1:58 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Last season, the Eagles would play like this in the 3rd Q. Then straighten things out early in the 4th Q.

    So I’m looking for a huge rest of the game, now that the bad Quarter-plus is out of the way.

  245. 245 SteveH said at 1:58 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Personal bad choice of the day: elected not to go get beer earlier. Regret, regret, regret.

  246. 246 GEAGLE said at 1:58 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Not complicated…we won’t get this turned around until we start winning the line of scrimmage consistently, and let our offense get in a Rythem
    ,,
    Defense or ST will score one…

  247. 247 Crus57 said at 1:59 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I’m starting to feel like maybe burning my pizza before each match wasn’t superstitious.

  248. 248 Crus57 said at 1:59 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    .. because today I cooked it perfectly.

  249. 249 BC1968 said at 1:59 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    So much time left thank god

  250. 250 BC1968 said at 2:00 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    They almost jumped

  251. 251 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:00 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Whew! Thought they were gonna jump.

  252. 252 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:01 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Its been that kind of day.

  253. 253 SteveH said at 2:00 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Was hoping they’d go for it. Front 7 has been stellar so far.

  254. 254 Baloophi said at 2:01 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Juqua Parker almost jumped offsides on that…

  255. 255 Baloophi said at 2:01 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    A miracle!

  256. 256 BC1968 said at 2:01 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Oh wow, a break!

  257. 257 SteveH said at 2:01 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Eff you Scobee, stupid ass other kickers can miss for a change.

  258. 258 ACViking said at 2:02 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The rumble of NFL films’ music begins . . .

  259. 259 Baloophi said at 2:02 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Ha!

  260. 260 Baloophi said at 2:02 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    If we were up 17-0, I would’ve said something like: “Let’s not forget that missed field goal.” Maybe it works the other way?

  261. 261 BC1968 said at 2:02 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    There you go

  262. 262 BC1968 said at 2:02 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Personal foul

  263. 263 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:03 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The ref sounds excited, too.

  264. 264 GEAGLE said at 2:03 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    You ready?

  265. 265 BC1968 said at 2:03 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Maybe a bad call, but you know..

  266. 266 Baloophi said at 2:03 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    cameraman got destroyed… concussion.

  267. 267 SteveH said at 2:04 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Finally Maclin and Foles on the same page.

  268. 268 Baloophi said at 2:04 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Oh yeah… Maclin’s playing this year.

  269. 269 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:04 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Holy ish

  270. 270 BC1968 said at 2:04 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Saw that the whole way.

  271. 271 Baloophi said at 2:04 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    why are we throwing the ball down there?????

  272. 272 BlindChow said at 2:07 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Seriously. JUST like 2012.

  273. 273 SteveH said at 2:05 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I feel sick to my stomache, and its not just all the mcdonalds I scarfed down.

  274. 274 ACViking said at 2:05 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Easy to read Kelly’s lips, even behind the play sheet . . .

    “What the hell’s goin’ on out there?!?”

  275. 275 Joe Lawrence said at 2:06 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    What’s going on? His QB doesn’t have it today, so how about some adjustments, coach?

  276. 276 GEAGLE said at 2:06 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    One of those games where we will need the defense or ST to give us a spark and start the avalanche..,

  277. 277 shah8 said at 2:06 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I am now…deeeeeeepppply pissed.

    As the announcer said…”absolutely no excuse”

    I want Sanchez now. One more drive for Foles. Another freakin’ disaster and his ass should be on the bench.

  278. 278 BobSmith77 said at 2:06 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Never thought I would say this but if the eagles don’t bench Foles they have no shot to win this game.

  279. 279 Baloophi said at 2:06 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Is McCoy hurt or something?

  280. 280 SteveH said at 2:06 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Foles crumbling under the pressure of being the man. Only question is if he can rebound at some point this game, or this year, otherwise we’re back to square one.

  281. 281 GEAGLE said at 2:08 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Geez man wtf

  282. 282 Baloophi said at 2:07 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Foles is regressing hard. Trying to do it all in this game.

  283. 283 ACViking said at 2:08 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    A reference to “The Internship”?

  284. 284 BlindChow said at 2:08 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The worst thing is how bad we’re all going to feel this week.

  285. 285 SteveH said at 2:09 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    If I had money to burn I would have bet it all that we cover the spread. Thank god I don’t have money?

  286. 286 GEAGLE said at 2:08 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    You people,are fucking nuts. Enjoy your comeback..not like you deserve it. Shame on you

  287. 287 Baloophi said at 2:09 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Not everyone has given up. BUT, the team has certainly dug itself an enormous hole.

  288. 288 BlindChow said at 2:10 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Not only that, but they don’t even look competent enough to get out of it.

  289. 289 Baloophi said at 2:10 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That’s the scary part.

  290. 290 Anders said at 2:12 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Can I call you out when we score 0 points and this defense keep getting torched by Henne?

  291. 291 GEAGLE said at 2:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Brad Fletcher was just benched..Cary blocks a FG…we go on to win. Let me know sweetheart muah

  292. 292 BobSmith77 said at 2:09 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    No pressure and he me is picking then apart.

  293. 293 ACViking said at 2:10 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Eagles’ play aside . . . JAX coaching staff has put together a great game plan.

  294. 294 BC1968 said at 2:12 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Pathetic. In every phase of the game. Well, special teams has been fabulous.

  295. 295 SteveH said at 2:12 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Run D has been superb. Also good linebacker play.

  296. 296 Baloophi said at 2:12 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The team is aware this isn’t a 5th pre-season game, right?

  297. 297 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:12 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Its not?

  298. 298 ACViking said at 2:12 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    WR screen does not work against the Eagles.

    Everything else does today. Just not that.

  299. 299 Baloophi said at 2:13 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    There’s the Chad Henne I know…

  300. 300 BC1968 said at 2:13 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He was wideeeeeeeeeeeee open

  301. 301 Baloophi said at 2:14 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Okay… so we’re where we were five minutes ago…

  302. 302 BC1968 said at 2:14 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Like I said, special teams…Fabulous

  303. 303 SteveH said at 2:14 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Once again, Special teams and front 7. The only things worth a shit on this team right now.

  304. 304 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:14 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Now. Score fucking points!!! Or did we have a different plan this year?

  305. 305 Baloophi said at 2:15 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Chip does like to stay ahead of the curve…

  306. 306 scratcherk said at 2:15 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    why is lee so freaking wide open

  307. 307 Flyin said at 2:15 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That was nice

  308. 308 GEAGLE said at 2:15 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Bradley Fletcher was benched…and Cary fucking Williams just steps up and gets the block to start the comeback… You were saying Anders?

  309. 309 Baloophi said at 2:15 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Does one block make up for giving up 2 TD’s?

  310. 310 GEAGLE said at 2:17 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Brad was benched,,,, keep yapping about Cary . U reached your corny joke quota for the day

  311. 311 Baloophi said at 2:19 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Too bad Cary wasn’t. I’m just saying he gave up his two TD’s. That’s pretty objective.

  312. 312 SteveH said at 2:15 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Somewhere a horse is watching a Cart rolling away off in the distance.

  313. 313 Anders said at 2:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It was Brandon Bair and ST =/ not pass defense

  314. 314 ACViking said at 2:15 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    In the NFL you can’t keep the other team in the game.

    Jags have done that.

  315. 315 Flyin said at 2:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Oregon didn’t look that great last night and next thing you know they score 21pts in 5 minutes.

  316. 316 ACViking said at 2:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    thinking about that earlier

  317. 317 GEAGLE said at 2:18 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Colt Lyerla DUI last night

  318. 318 Baloophi said at 2:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Zero margin for error from here on out…

  319. 319 truehaynes said at 2:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    guys this is my fault. i drafted allen hurns on a hunch in fantasy and the football gods are punishing me

  320. 320 deshawnbentley said at 2:16 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    We need Desean

  321. 321 Flyin said at 2:17 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Bair is a bear!

  322. 322 SteveH said at 2:17 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Mathis done for the year.

  323. 323 Baloophi said at 2:17 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    This is now injury to insult…

  324. 324 shah8 said at 2:17 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    oh, god, Mathis!

  325. 325 McNabbulousness said at 2:18 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    yep our health was due to regress this year, fuck

  326. 326 BC1968 said at 2:18 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Well it couldn’t get worse with backup

  327. 327 Anders said at 2:18 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    So is the 2012 all over again? OL cant run block and OL falling down and our QB keeps turning the ball over

  328. 328 scratcherk said at 2:18 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    late hit on mathis

  329. 329 ACViking said at 2:19 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Mathis’s season’s over.

  330. 330 McNabbulousness said at 2:19 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    it doesn’t look good

  331. 331 GEAGLE said at 2:19 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He is laying right in front of me

  332. 332 Baloophi said at 2:20 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    In all seriousness, is it hard to watch the game and post?

  333. 333 McNabbulousness said at 2:20 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    keep us updated geagle

  334. 334 GEAGLE said at 2:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He is gone

  335. 335 McNabbulousness said at 2:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    just saw it on the tv

  336. 336 BC1968 said at 2:20 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    So lucky because that wouldn’t have been complete.

  337. 337 BC1968 said at 2:20 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Jaguars are hitting man

  338. 338 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Dammit Foles.

  339. 339 BC1968 said at 2:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Them little shitty hits are bringing him down..fuck him

  340. 340 BC1968 said at 2:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    What the fuck was that?

  341. 341 SteveH said at 2:21 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Maclin knows which way the foul is going. Lol.

  342. 342 BC1968 said at 2:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    And another lucky break

  343. 343 McNabbulousness said at 2:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    no we’re getting bailed out by the refs

  344. 344 BC1968 said at 2:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    This is stupid football.

  345. 345 BC1968 said at 2:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Little 5 yard dump on 3rd and 11

  346. 346 McNabbulousness said at 2:22 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    barbre just went off, fuck fuck fuck

  347. 347 GEAGLE said at 2:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Yeah getting looked at…but he was able to walk better than mathis

  348. 348 SteveH said at 2:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Game is turning into a bloodbath.

  349. 349 Baloophi said at 2:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It’s gone from poop to blood.

  350. 350 BobSmith77 said at 2:23 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That is the 5th time Foles has thrown into double coverage I’ll-advised.

  351. 351 McNabbulousness said at 2:24 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    the jags db hit his head fucking hard

  352. 352 GEAGLE said at 2:24 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    KO

  353. 353 SteveH said at 2:24 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    What happened to Cyprien? Didn’t look like anything live.

  354. 354 Baloophi said at 2:24 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Banged his head on the turf

  355. 355 ACViking said at 2:25 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    MIchael Spinks-esque against Tyson 90 seconds into Rd 1

  356. 356 Anders said at 2:29 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Knocked out cold for several seconds aka a huge concussion

  357. 357 BC1968 said at 2:24 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    If it’s 17-3 at half and we are getting the ball back, i’m ecstatic.

  358. 358 ACViking said at 2:24 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Who’s in for Barbre?

  359. 359 McNabbulousness said at 2:25 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    i’ve got a sick feeling in my stomach waiting for the mathis report

  360. 360 BC1968 said at 2:25 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    What am I watching here?

  361. 361 SteveH said at 2:26 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Football, supposedly.

  362. 362 McNabbulousness said at 2:26 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    maybe foles is concussed…

  363. 363 Baloophi said at 2:26 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I feel like I’m concussed.

  364. 364 SuPaFrO said at 2:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I feel the need to be concussed

  365. 365 SteveH said at 2:29 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I’m pretty sure I was concussed yesterday, and I’m actually hallucinating this.

  366. 366 BC1968 said at 2:26 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That’s acting like a QB right there.

  367. 367 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:26 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Chip – you need to make some serious half-time adjustments.

  368. 368 BC1968 said at 2:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Foles is limping, he may use any excuse to put Sanchez in there at this point.

  369. 369 McNabbulousness said at 2:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    at least the redskins are losing their game…

  370. 370 BC1968 said at 2:28 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    But not being embarrassed. Who can be the least embarrassing team in the NFC east may be what wins it.

  371. 371 McNabbulousness said at 2:28 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    lets hope this is just a case of small sample size

  372. 372 mawst95 said at 2:27 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I have some concerns about the quality of the Eagles play today.

  373. 373 jshort said at 2:28 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    you kidding

  374. 374 McNabbulousness said at 2:28 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    and in other news the sky is blue

  375. 375 BC1968 said at 2:28 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Look out Seattle, we’re coming for your asses!

  376. 376 SeanofDead said at 2:28 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Need to get on the board here…… Ain’t over yet.

  377. 377 McNabbulousness said at 2:29 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    damn straight!

  378. 378 Baloophi said at 2:29 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    well, that’s it.

  379. 379 Baloophi said at 2:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He’s down.

  380. 380 Baloophi said at 2:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    BUT, I don’t trust this crew not to look for something interpretive… like, “he wanted to fumble it before he was down, ergo, fumble.”

  381. 381 SeanofDead said at 2:29 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He was down

  382. 382 SteveH said at 2:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Not even close to a fumble. WTF?

  383. 383 BC1968 said at 2:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    As long as he was down by contact of the player

  384. 384 McNabbulousness said at 2:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    their you go geagle, you got your mccoy v. poz matchup

  385. 385 GEAGLE said at 2:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Lol sorry… I went to buy a beer. I realized I never been to a game without drinking and I stared to worry that my sobriety would be the cause for a bad week…

  386. 386 McNabbulousness said at 2:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    if that’s the case you’ve got some catching up to do, and by some i mean a lot

  387. 387 BC1968 said at 2:30 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Yeah we’re good

  388. 388 Flyin said at 2:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    We’re stellar!

  389. 389 BC1968 said at 2:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    We are fabulous!

  390. 390 Flyin said at 2:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Nothing stopping us now!

  391. 391 BC1968 said at 2:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Well…wait

  392. 392 Flyin said at 2:33 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Oh yeah…Foles

  393. 393 SeanofDead said at 2:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Ya they can let the play go and get the replay but line judge was right there, number 5 had a clear view

  394. 394 BobSmith77 said at 2:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Embarrassing bad officiating

  395. 395 SteveH said at 2:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Jesus Christ Mike Carey is awful at this bring in the official thing.

  396. 396 Baloophi said at 2:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    To be fair, who has ever been good at it? Better than Pereira at least…

  397. 397 47_Ronin said at 2:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Carey is having first day jitters but I have respect for him for asking out of officiating Washington games several years ago.

  398. 398 BC1968 said at 2:31 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    God I thought he was going to say the ruling stands for a second.

  399. 399 SteveH said at 2:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    You know he wanted to say it .

  400. 400 BobSmith77 said at 2:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Chip just mouthed ‘what are you looking at’ to the ref

  401. 401 SteveH said at 2:32 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That wasn’t even Foles’ fault, pressure came instantly.

  402. 402 Baloophi said at 2:33 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    They were slipping out for a screen vs. a blitz… bad combo.

  403. 403 scratcherk said at 2:33 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    got nervous when he started with “the ruling on the field is..”

  404. 404 BC1968 said at 2:33 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Another break Get in fg range at least.

  405. 405 McNabbulousness said at 2:34 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    this is 4 down territory

  406. 406 BobSmith77 said at 2:34 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Terrible call killed the rhythm on this drive.

  407. 407 SteveH said at 2:34 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Goddamnit Maclin. Go for the ball not the foul.

  408. 408 BC1968 said at 2:34 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    17-0 isn’t actually the end of the world here.

  409. 409 Baloophi said at 2:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    No. Points of any kind would’ve been nice… if only to relieve some second-half pressure. If we go 3 and out on the first possession though… oof.

  410. 410 McNabbulousness said at 2:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    it’s not just the score it’s the way we’re playing and the mathis injury

  411. 411 BlindChow said at 2:37 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It is with the Eagles playing the way they are.

  412. 412 McNabbulousness said at 2:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    maybe you should change your name to BlindFoles

  413. 413 A Roy said at 2:34 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Not on TV here in Harrisburg. And ESPN Gamecast keeps freezing up. Probably my lucky day.

  414. 414 Baloophi said at 2:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Maybe Foles is also updating Gamecast…

  415. 415 A Roy said at 2:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Must be 6 sacks in the first half…

  416. 416 McNabbulousness said at 2:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    good no call, if any thing it was offensive PI

  417. 417 BC1968 said at 2:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Yeah they were jostling. Always wanted to say that.

  418. 418 Anders said at 2:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    No, the CB didnt play the ball and held Maclin’s arm, that is holding or PI

  419. 419 SteveH said at 2:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    If we could line up 22 Donnie Jones’ we’d be in good shape.

  420. 420 Flyin said at 2:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    deleted

  421. 421 McNabbulousness said at 2:35 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    geagle make sure you boo the shit out of them when they leave for the half

  422. 422 Baloophi said at 2:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He can tweet at them.

  423. 423 ACViking said at 2:36 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Who the is in for Barbre?

  424. 424 SteveH said at 2:37 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Winston Justice. IT REALLY IS A NIGHTMARE AHHH HAHAHAHAH

  425. 425 Anders said at 2:37 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Gardner and Molk for Mathis

  426. 426 ACViking said at 2:37 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Thanks.

  427. 427 Baloophi said at 2:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Okay, let’s put DeSean back there to… oops.

  428. 428 BC1968 said at 2:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Our best shot here is getting special teams on the field.

  429. 429 ACViking said at 2:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Cody Parkey can earn some big love in the next 30 seconds.

  430. 430 Baloophi said at 2:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Very true.

  431. 431 scratcherk said at 2:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    i wouldnt want the ball back if i was iggles

  432. 432 BC1968 said at 2:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Oh man, fair catch? Really?

  433. 433 SteveH said at 2:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Nice fair catch idiot.

  434. 434 Baloophi said at 2:38 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    More like un-fair catch!

  435. 435 SteveH said at 2:39 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Why the hell did we want the ball back if we’re going to toss it over the middle.

  436. 436 BobSmith77 said at 2:40 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Poor play calling on both sides of the ball.

  437. 437 Baloophi said at 2:40 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Just enough time for Foles to launch the ball into the endzone for another INT.

  438. 438 McNabbulousness said at 2:41 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    mathis out for the game, barbre unlikely to return

  439. 439 BC1968 said at 2:41 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Geez they are actually lucky it’s only 17-0 That’s nothing

  440. 440 McNabbulousness said at 2:42 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    yep should probably be more like 28-0

  441. 441 ACViking said at 2:42 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Foles looks only slightly better than he did in the first 15 minutes.

    Cooper’s a phantom.

    Maclin’s Maclin.

    Jason Peters? Not so good.

    All in all . . . F-L-A-T.

  442. 442 SteveH said at 2:42 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Wow, lol, RG3 is 15/17 for… 74 yards. Less than 5 yards a completion. Think they’re being safe with him?

  443. 443 BC1968 said at 2:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I would guess DeSean isn’t getting much.

  444. 444 Baloophi said at 2:44 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I’m sure he’s not complaining about that, though.

    Silver lining after looking like crap and losing Mathis and Barbre… it’s just 3 scores. That said, they better change things up if they’re going to get a single score…

  446. 446 GEAGLE said at 2:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Letting your new toy Burton dress over Dennis Kelly sounds pretty dumb right about now…let’s get 3 Tight ends on the field first before we start worrying about the 4th

  447. 447 Anders said at 2:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Gardner and Molk would have been first up on the OL anyway.

  448. 448 GEAGLE said at 2:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Still…Casey is our emergency TE,.. I’ll take emergency players at multiple positions before a 4th TE… Rather have signed Tuck with Polk out…Rather have Barkley. Burton is literally the last player on this roster I would dress for opening day… Dude ain’t doing anything before Midseason anyway

  449. 449 ACViking said at 2:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    How ’bout not having a real RB behind Toy Sproles?

  450. 450 Flyin said at 2:44 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Burton

  451. 451 ACViking said at 2:44 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    hence, the word “real” in my question.

    THough I know Burton III played some RB at UF

  452. 452 Flyin said at 2:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    He be a more “real” rb than sproles

  453. 453 ACViking said at 2:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I agree with you.

  454. 454 ACViking said at 2:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    If the Eagles were playing Seattle today, which runs the same schemes on defense . . . .

    Oh, the humanity.

  455. 455 Baloophi said at 2:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Need to actually use McCoy. Hope he breaks one. Then they’ll be susceptible to play-action, Ertz action.

  456. 456 ACViking said at 2:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    JAX has taken away the deep middle since the play to Ertz

  457. 457 Baloophi said at 2:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Right. So to get it back, we need to have success running the ball.

  458. 458 ACViking said at 2:47 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    McCoy took himself out at least twice, maybe three times, after getting some momentum going.

    Can’t do that in 2nd half.

  459. 459 Baloophi said at 2:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That’s why I seriously wonder if something is up with him. It also underscores the potential fragility of the current offense if you remove him from the equation…

  460. 460 doublgee said at 2:43 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The Horror…the horror…

  461. 461 BC1968 said at 2:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    It could be worse, but we should have 7 points.

  462. 462 BlindChow said at 2:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I can’t believe it was 1st and Goal at the 5 and they called a pass. Ugh.

  463. 463 Baloophi said at 2:46 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Yeah… that was ugly. I mean, McCoy’s still good, right?

  464. 464 A Roy said at 2:46 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    AR and Marty mailing
    in plays

  465. 465 doublgee said at 2:47 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I was yelling exactly that! We have one of THE best RB’s in the league, and that’s the call?!?! Is Andy Reid calling the plays via Skype?!?!

  466. 466 ACViking said at 2:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The NFL-ization of Chip Kelly?

  467. 467 SteveH said at 2:45 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I dont even have the energy to be angry at this point. It’s just apathy.

  468. 468 McNabbulousness said at 2:46 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    not joking here: could foles be injured?

  469. 469 BC1968 said at 2:47 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    The first week is always crazy, the worst time to place any bets on football.

  470. 470 Baloophi said at 2:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    This is a truth fact.

  471. 471 McNabbulousness said at 2:48 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    man, lane johnson can’t get back fast enough.

  472. 472 ACViking said at 2:49 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Any news on NFL-NFLPA agt on testing?

  473. 473 Anders said at 2:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    99% sure Johnson was really PEDs and not substance abuse

  474. 474 doublgee said at 2:50 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I missed the first 5 minutes of the game. Who gets the ball at the half?

  475. 475 Baloophi said at 2:50 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Eagles.

  476. 476 doublgee said at 2:50 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    <> Thanks!

  477. 477 Baloophi said at 2:51 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    That said, the way things are going, we might hand it right back to them.

  478. 478 Flyin said at 2:51 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Hopefully

  479. 479 McNabbulousness said at 2:50 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    watching texans-skins, clowney out for the game with a knee injury

  480. 480 anon said at 2:51 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Is Sanchez playing?? Can’t watch what is happening?

  481. 481 Baloophi said at 2:52 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I will say with Reid, I’d have no confidence in making the right adjustments. (At least, after JJ – RIP) With Kelly there’s hope he’s seen something to take advantage of on film. Whether we have the personnel to execute said changes is another question mark….

  482. 482 Flyin said at 2:52 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Tommy, are you enjoying the ride?

  483. 483 Baloophi said at 2:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    I’m sure he’s trying to write-up the second-half post while simultaneously vomiting… very difficult to do.

  484. 484 Flyin said at 2:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    Looks like he spit out a new thread.

  485. 485 BlindChow said at 2:53 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    New thread…

    hey, me too!!!!

  488. 488 McNabbulousness said at 2:54 PM on September 7th, 2014:

    karma; rg3 got a bullshit roughing the passer call, next play he stumbled on the hand off, causing a turnover
