PHI 20 , STL 7 – 2nd Half

Posted: October 5th, 2014 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 554 Comments »

LeSean McCoy started slow and had a terrible fumble in the 1st half, but Chip Kelly didn’t give up on him. McCoy got going in the 2nd quarter and finished with 7 carries for 32 yards. He ran with more confidence and finally had some room to work with. He also caught 4 passes.

The Eagles threw the ball a lot in the 1st half. I think this was by design. Build a lead, get the defense running all over and try to tire them out a bit.

I fully expect the Eagles to run a good amount in the 2nd half. They may continue to throw on the opening possession, but after that I think we’ll see a lot of running, with both McCoy and Sproles.

The Eagles defense is having a solid day.

The STs scored another TD. Those guys are playing lights out.

Good 1st half overall, but still lots of sloppy play. The Eagles got to play with a lead for a very short period last week. An early turnover in the 2nd half completely changed that game. If the Eagles can move the ball and possibly score, they’ll get a chance to show what they can do with a lead.

5 SteveH said at 2:45 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Put together some food for the 2nd half. Man can’t watch football on an empty stomache.
6 Corry said at 2:44 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Let’s go offense. Put the game away.
7 GEAGLE said at 2:46 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Like to get a run game going.. No cutback lanes., run straight!
8 Corry said at 2:46 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Peters a bit gimpy.
9 shah8 said at 2:46 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Jake Locker is already injured again.
10 Baloophi said at 2:47 PM on October 5th, 2014:
More like “Hurt Locker”, am I right?!?! Ugh.
11 RogerPodacter said at 2:50 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Oscar award winning joke right here, folks.
12 SteveH said at 2:51 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Would have been gold if his name was Kurt Locker or somesuch.
13 GEAGLE said at 2:46 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Unbalanced line…called it
14 Corry said at 2:47 PM on October 5th, 2014:
McCoy upfield is way better than Dancer McCoy.
15 GEAGLE said at 2:47 PM on October 5th, 2014:
James casey just hit an awesome block to get the RB the first down
16 RogerPodacter said at 2:47 PM on October 5th, 2014:
lane got beat hard there
17 GEAGLE said at 2:48 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Come on rook
18 Baloophi said at 2:49 PM on October 5th, 2014:
sweet block in the back.
19 SteveH said at 2:49 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That was the most obvious block in the back I’ve ever seen.
20 shah8 said at 2:49 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Worst block in the back ever.
21 xeynon said at 2:50 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Indeed. As Johnston said, how do you think you’re going to get away with that if you’re Reynolds?
22 BlindChow said at 2:49 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Was that Casey Matthews getting knocked down? Still making plays!
23 Spooonius said at 2:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
woooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
24 Spooonius said at 2:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
sorry, i started the eagles d in fantasy today
25 jpate said at 2:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
WOW
26 Baloophi said at 2:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That was the least athletic play I’ve ever seen!!!
27 Corry said at 2:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
2 weeks in a row with a special teams score and a defensive score. Wow.
28 RogerPodacter said at 2:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
damn, defense. nice job.
29 jpate said at 2:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I should drafted eagles defense/special team
30 Spooonius said at 2:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
this is my 2nd week in a row starting them!
31 RogerPodacter said at 2:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
nice job by thornton hitting the OL so he couldn’t get a hold of the ball!
32 SteveH said at 2:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Special teams and defense return in consecutive weeks; record?
33 shah8 said at 2:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We don’t really have to do much to win this game, do we?
34 RogerPodacter said at 2:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
at this point, just limit mistakes. which we could certainly improve upon
35 SteveH said at 2:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The Rams blockers woke up with amnesia this morning. What were we doing again?! Oh right blocking.
36 jshort said at 2:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
no
37 shah8 said at 2:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Still pissed because I want to watch a good game, man. Bad football is still bad football. Winning isn’t that fun, when these guys are so bad.
38 RogerPodacter said at 2:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
winning is always fun
39 Spooonius said at 2:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Always!!!!!!
40 Baloophi said at 2:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Serious question: do OL ever work on recovering fumbles? I mean that was first kiss clumsiness right there…
41 jpate said at 2:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I doubt it
42 Baloophi said at 2:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I mean, I guess you don’t want 300+ pound guys throwing themselves onto the ground when they don’t have to…
43 RogerPodacter said at 2:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
lol when you say it like that….
44 Insomniac said at 2:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
2 weeks in a row, we get a punt block and a fumble recovery for a TD by one of our DEs. Nice
45 SeanofDead said at 2:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Jake Long sucks
46 ACViking said at 2:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Hard to get a measure on the Eagles.
The Rams may be worse than JAX.
47 Baloophi said at 2:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Hail! AC!
48 ACViking said at 2:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
hey.
lots of radio today.
49 ACViking said at 2:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
at the office
50 Baloophi said at 3:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I hope you double-bill hours on gamedays…
51 ACViking said at 3:01 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Double billing does work best flying east to west.
52 Baloophi said at 3:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
A friend of mine worked a case in Korea and said the flight time counted. Sweet.
53 ACViking said at 3:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The ultimate in efficiency.
54 Crus57 said at 2:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
For a moment there, NFL Gamecenter had J Barksdale recovering the fumble and running for a 100yd TD.
55 RogerPodacter said at 2:56 PM on October 5th, 2014:
god i hate that thing.
56 Crus57 said at 2:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Despite living in the future, gamecenter is ahead of NFL gamepass’s feed, so I read it to know what to watch for. Was a scary moment.
57 SteveH said at 2:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Look I know pinktober and all that… but that pink outline on the Eagles logo in the endzone is just godawful.
58 RogerPodacter said at 2:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
but jeff fisher has some *fabulous* pink sunglasses, so there’s that. LOL
59 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Go Texans.
60 Baloophi said at 2:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
“I told Austin not to look over his shoulder…” – Jeff Fisher on Austin Davis.
Good thing… we have, what, two strip sacks?
61 ACViking said at 3:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Are the Rams playing for the 1st overall pick?
62 Baloophi said at 3:01 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I’m trying to come up with a phrase that rhymes with “Marcus” or “Mariota”…
63 ACViking said at 3:02 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Orange?
64 Baloophi said at 3:03 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Ha!
65 SteveH said at 3:02 PM on October 5th, 2014:
… Meet the quota for Marcus Mariota…
66 Baloophi said at 3:03 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Catchy! Put it on a shirt!
67 Baloophi said at 3:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Though… maybe “Don’t meet the quota”? We should focus group it…
68 SteveH said at 3:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
It’s the quota of losses. I think.
69 Baloophi said at 3:10 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Okay good. Let’s go with that!
70 SteveH said at 3:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Advice taken perhaps too literally.
71 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:02 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Good thing he’s a Southern Miss alum where the distinction between literal and figurative only gets addressed at the grad level.
72 Baloophi said at 3:03 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Come on, let’s be fair to Southern Miss – there’s no way they have a graduate level.
73 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They do. They start with the multiplication tables, the Clifford the Big Red Dog books, and advanced basket weaving.
74 Baloophi said at 3:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Really? “Advanced” basket weaving?
75 Baloophi said at 3:09 PM on October 5th, 2014:
To be fair (and this is what marrying someone from the south will do), Southern Miss. does have a full slate of graduate programs.
76 Spooonius said at 3:01 PM on October 5th, 2014:
holding!!!!!!!!!!!!!
77 SteveH said at 3:02 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Haha, Beau Allen is so nimble for a stubby heavy guy.
78 Spooonius said at 3:02 PM on October 5th, 2014:
jenkins would have intercepted that
79 ACViking said at 3:03 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Eagles defense has proven, if nothing else, to be opportunistic this season.
The Saints won a SB that way.
80 Anders said at 3:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We was 2nd in the NFL in turnovers on defense last year
81 ACViking said at 3:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I think — at least it sounds — like this defense is even better at TOs this year.
82 xeynon said at 3:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Okay… let’s get Shady some yards and confidence now. Get this running game going.
83 ACViking said at 3:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Imagine the Rams in Kelly Green and While helmuts w/ green wings.
You are now watching the 1970 Eagles.
84 ACViking said at 3:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
And the 1969 Eagles
85 ACViking said at 3:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
And the 1968 Eagles
86 ACViking said at 3:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
You get the point.
87 SteveH said at 3:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We’re spoiled.
88 ACViking said at 3:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That’s a fact.
89 Corry said at 3:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Well that was unnecessarily scary.
90 RogerPodacter said at 3:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
mccoy is going to give me a heart attack. sheesh
91 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:07 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That is a major upgrade. For the past 4 weeks its been all 53 players plus the coach doing that.
92 shah8 said at 3:07 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I just screamed at McCoy.
93 shah8 said at 3:07 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Man, you just *don’t* have to do this!
94 RogerPodacter said at 3:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
unacceptable. false start on coop…
95 shah8 said at 3:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Seriously, is this crap fun?
96 SteveH said at 3:09 PM on October 5th, 2014:
A lot more fun than last week was.
97 shah8 said at 3:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I got to see *some* good plays, even if it was for the other team. And the struggles were understandable.
This one is just merely sloppy rather than be outmatched. So I know we’re not going to lose. No dramatic tension, like Cam apparently bringing his team back despite nothing from RBs or OL, and a ton of drops apparently.
98 shah8 said at 3:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Also, you look at this, and you just have real doubts about whether we can really win against anyone good.
99 xeynon said at 3:15 PM on October 5th, 2014:
It’s not a work of art, but I’d rather win ugly any day.
100 shah8 said at 3:16 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We should be massacring the Rams. The score really shouldn’t be a close as it is. The offense has scored just one TD and a couple of field goals against a crap D. While the Rams offense is nearly totally useless.
101 shah8 said at 3:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
See what I mean, man?
102 xeynon said at 3:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Yes. But our O line is a mess, our RB can’t get untracked, and our QB has been up-and-down, and we’re still winning by 27 points. I’m not going to complain.
103 shah8 said at 3:22 PM on October 5th, 2014:
But it’s not as fun as a real massacre, though. And film review on Monday is pretty likely to be sobering.
104 xeynon said at 3:37 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I won’t argue that this win means the team is on track for the Super Bowl. They certainly have a lot of issues to clean up. But when your team is dealing with serious injury issues and several of your best players aren’t playing their best football and you’re still on track to be 4-1, it’s a good thing. No team is sharp all the time.
105 shah8 said at 3:38 PM on October 5th, 2014:
A good team not at their best looks like the 49’ers last week. We don’t look like that.
106 Corry said at 3:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Foles looks like he’s gone back to the “grip and rip it” strategy.
107 jpate said at 3:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
damn who got blown up
108 RogerPodacter said at 3:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
everyone on OL. lol
109 jpate said at 3:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
we constantly on 3rd and long
110 RogerPodacter said at 3:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
i give credit to coop for breaking up that pass
111 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Coop’s pass break up there was arguably his best play of the season.
112 shah8 said at 3:13 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Riley Cooper has saved Foles bacon a couple of times.
113 xeynon said at 3:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The awfulness of this O line continues to be an issue, and it’s not just Molk and Tobin. Peters is clearly not 100% and basically cost us a chance to continue that drive.
114 RogerPodacter said at 3:16 PM on October 5th, 2014:
when the OL aren’t performing well, it really hurts a team that is built to run the ball
115 BC1968 said at 3:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Cant do much when those guys are sitting at home watching the game
116 BC1968 said at 3:15 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I’m not too worried, if they can just play decent and get a win and get some things going for better teams.
117 BC1968 said at 3:16 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Did anyone expect Lane to come in and make us the early Cowboys’ O Line
118 ConcussedFB said at 3:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Just about everyone who calls WIP or hosts a radio show on same.
119 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They all went to Southern Miss.
120 BC1968 said at 3:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I mean to say the early 90’s Cowboys..oops
121 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
How do you leave Tavon Austin uncovered?
122 RogerPodacter said at 3:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
wow. no one anywhere near the receiver there
123 BlindChow said at 3:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
What the hell?
124 SteveH said at 3:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Omg, we almost had another one.
125 BC1968 said at 3:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
DEFENSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
126 RogerPodacter said at 3:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
OMG i wanted thornton to get another TD ssoooooooo bad
127 Corry said at 3:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Damn guys, you can’t have a convoy like that and let your returner get tackled (why am I complaining about this?)
128 BlindChow said at 3:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Seriously, Jenkins wasn’t even paying attention!
129 BC1968 said at 3:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Lucky someone didn’t catch him and strip him, big guys should just fall usually lol
130 Spooonius said at 3:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
i am because i needed the td for fantasy!
131 RogerPodacter said at 3:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
brandon graham with the FF
132 BC1968 said at 3:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Damn that was a missed TD
133 RogerPodacter said at 3:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
c’mon Foles. that should have been a TD
134 scratcherk said at 3:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
man turn around and block!!!
135 Insomniac said at 3:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Pay the big guy already.
136 SteveH said at 3:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
2nd throw better than the first.
137 Corry said at 3:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Jeremy Maclin, wide freakin’ open.
138 RogerPodacter said at 3:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
alright, Foles. you have redeemed yourself.
139 Baloophi said at 3:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
(sarcasm font) I don’t know… that throw to Maclin was a bit underthrown.
140 RogerPodacter said at 3:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
but maclin only catches easy TDs!
141 Baloophi said at 3:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Ha!
142 SteveH said at 3:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Maclin’s greatest asset as a receiver is deceiving the defense into believing he’s harmless, then left uncovered catching walk in TD’s.
143 ConcussedFB said at 3:24 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Don’t forget getting tackled, looking mortally wounded, and then returning on the next series, fine.
144 SteveH said at 3:24 PM on October 5th, 2014:
AKA Jevon Kearse syndrome.
145 BC1968 said at 3:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Good teams play bad and still lead 34-7. Seriously, we’re not playing all that well and we’re blowing them away.
146 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:22 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Seriously – or not I guess – we’re up 34-7 and there is plenty to criticize.
At least its not a heart attack game.
147 BC1968 said at 3:22 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Right, what are we going to do with normal heart beats in the 4th quarter?
148 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:23 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I may need to cancel my weekly charter ambulance.
149 SteveH said at 3:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Rams have the feel of a team that’s like fuck it… when’s the bus leaving again?
150 Baloophi said at 3:22 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Brandon Graham putting together a “heckuva” game. Curious to see if Chip and Billy will downplay this performance…
151 Anders said at 3:22 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Why would they do that? He has gotten a ton of snaps this game
152 xeynon said at 3:24 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Graham finally appears to be adjusting to the 3-4. He’s still not a natural in coverage but he’s become something less of liability than he used to be. And he’s been very effective setting the edge and rushing the passer from the outside.
153 RogerPodacter said at 3:25 PM on October 5th, 2014:
i was listening to the game on the radio at the start. Graham’s name was called as he was in the right position in coverage, but he just couldn’t locate the ball. any idea what happened on that play?
154 RogerPodacter said at 3:23 PM on October 5th, 2014:
i’m glad to see him really performing this season. Cole is starting to play well too so i don’t think he’s going to win that starting job just yet. but i think he’s shown enough that he should be brought back when Cole hangs ’em up. next year?
155 Crus57 said at 3:24 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Graham still needs to work on his cover skills, but at least he’s now in the same camera shot as the receiver, so that’s progress. When he’s going forwards he’s at his best.
156 Baloophi said at 3:26 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I think the ball will be in Graham’s court, however. If he feels he’ll get more playing time (or money) on a 4-3 team, how much would you (Roseman) be willing to pony up for a guy that’s not your ideal OLB? I think you could argue it’s hard to find performers at that spot, but how much do you commit to him when you’ve got other contracts to fill?
157 BC1968 said at 3:24 PM on October 5th, 2014:
THis is bullshit. How dare this team not run a punt or kickoff back for a touchdown? I guess there’s still time.
158 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:25 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Well Fipp needs to tell them to stop blocking punts or Davis needs to let the Rams score more often. Our coaches suck.
159 Anders said at 3:24 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I started Eagles DST in one of my fantasy leagues.
160 BlindChow said at 3:25 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Did Williams already check out of the game?
161 Corry said at 3:25 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Not his fault. He’s exhausted from practice.
162 Anders said at 3:26 PM on October 5th, 2014:
He is looking more and more like NA part 2
163 BC1968 said at 3:25 PM on October 5th, 2014:
THat was lame, poor Matthews didn’t do anything. It’s bad enough for him already for that to happen.
164 RogerPodacter said at 3:27 PM on October 5th, 2014:
lol he already has to overcome his lack of athleticism. shame he gets more against him here. lol
165 Spooonius said at 3:26 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Smith has to get his hands up
166 Baloophi said at 3:27 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Cunningham with another TD in Philly…
167 BlindChow said at 3:27 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Wow, our defense is suddenly nonexistant.
168 Corry said at 3:27 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Did we got into a prevent defense there or something?
169 BlindChow said at 3:27 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This is how we let teams come back on us over and over again last year.
170 Anders said at 3:30 PM on October 5th, 2014:
had nickle defense on, had Curry, Graham, Cole and Smith in the game
171 BC1968 said at 3:27 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Took a break on that drive.
172 wallacemnw said at 3:28 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Running game time.
173 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:29 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Ah. Koy Detmer flashback.
174 BC1968 said at 3:30 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This would be a nice McCoy confidence eat the clock drive.
175 Baloophi said at 3:31 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Odell Beckham Jr. on the board for the Gints.
176 wallacemnw said at 3:31 PM on October 5th, 2014:
He looks very good.
177 shah8 said at 3:32 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Spotted a lions fan complaining about kicking game, Henery mess up again?
178 Crus57 said at 3:32 PM on October 5th, 2014:
0 for 2 today according to Kempski
179 Spooonius said at 3:33 PM on October 5th, 2014:
maybe the lions will take Nate too
180 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:32 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Atta boy Shady!
181 livingonapear said at 3:33 PM on October 5th, 2014:
It looks like they are not only using James Casey on a wham block there, but bringing in flankers to give McCoy that one extra block. Kind of folding the O in and up
182 RogerPodacter said at 3:34 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Coop coming in for extra blocking too
183 Baloophi said at 3:35 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Wham block!
184 BC1968 said at 3:34 PM on October 5th, 2014:
What a bad throw by FOles, I agree with fatso for a change.
185 RogerPodacter said at 3:35 PM on October 5th, 2014:
crowd really getting into it. sounds awesome from the tv feed
186 wallacemnw said at 3:36 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Is McCoy looking better? Stuck w Giants game here.
187 Corry said at 3:36 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Stupid mistakes.
188 RogerPodacter said at 3:36 PM on October 5th, 2014:
fuck. thats a fumble.
189 Baloophi said at 3:36 PM on October 5th, 2014:
NEVER SLIDE FORWARD! Have we learned nothing from Eli???
190 Spooonius said at 3:36 PM on October 5th, 2014:
or Vick?
191 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:36 PM on October 5th, 2014:
My thoughts exactly.
192 shah8 said at 3:36 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Jesus
193 shah8 said at 3:37 PM on October 5th, 2014:
For such an easy win, this is going to be one hell of an ugly Monday video review.
194 BC1968 said at 3:38 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Oh you marked this as a win? You haven’t been watching the Eagles that many years then have you?
195 shah8 said at 3:39 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Oh, yeah, Austin Davis is going to turn into a starter level QB and lead, Vick style to an incredible comeback.
Of course, we *could* have pick-6s and Special Teams TDs, but is that likely?
196 BC1968 said at 3:36 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Wow, stupidity.
197 SteveH said at 3:37 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This is why we can’t have nice things… this is why we can’t have nice things…
198 SeanofDead said at 3:37 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Too much time watching Vick
199 xeynon said at 3:37 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Sloppy, sloppy Foles.
200 ConcussedFB said at 3:38 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That was ugly. UGH.
201 Baloophi said at 3:39 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That sounds like a new school lunch invention…
202 BC1968 said at 3:37 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Do the wings on the helmet make it impossible to slide?
203 RogerPodacter said at 3:38 PM on October 5th, 2014:
maybe now they will actually work on this. Foles has never been able to slide properly. ugh.
204 BC1968 said at 3:39 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Same shit with Vick, why don’t Eagles qb’s slide?
205 Baloophi said at 3:40 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Normally they talk about bringing someone in from the Phillies to teach them, but that’s probably not a great idea this year…
206 mrparabolic said at 3:39 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Foles took a page out of Eli’s playbook on that play.
207 shah8 said at 3:40 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Good times.
208 BlindChow said at 3:39 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I can’t believe how much worse Foles is this year.
209 livingonapear said at 3:39 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I slid better in t-ball
210 Baloophi said at 3:40 PM on October 5th, 2014:
In other news, the Texans have the ball at the Dallas 45 with 2 minutes to play, down 7.
211 BC1968 said at 3:40 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but this is a big play.
212 Baloophi said at 3:41 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Air Bair!
213 RogerPodacter said at 3:41 PM on October 5th, 2014:
that white man can jump
214 RogerPodacter said at 3:41 PM on October 5th, 2014:
not really, he’s just tall. but whatever
215 BC1968 said at 3:42 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Yeah he’s huge, I was going to say, he barely has to jump lol
216 RogerPodacter said at 3:41 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Nate actually had pretty damn good coverage there. sucks
217 Corry said at 3:42 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Casey Matthews in coverage is horrible.
218 BlindChow said at 3:43 PM on October 5th, 2014:
It’s like he had to pause and think, “Okay, he caught the ball, what am I supposed to do now?”
219 RogerPodacter said at 3:42 PM on October 5th, 2014:
ugh. c’mon casey matthews….
220 SeanofDead said at 3:43 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Texans Tie it Up!!!
221 RogerPodacter said at 3:43 PM on October 5th, 2014:
COME ON DEFENSE
222 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:43 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Texans score!
223 BC1968 said at 3:44 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Yes
224 BC1968 said at 3:44 PM on October 5th, 2014:
And they drop! Double yes
225 BC1968 said at 3:43 PM on October 5th, 2014:
When you’re behind him like that, blast the ball out of his hand.
226 RogerPodacter said at 3:44 PM on October 5th, 2014:
cox made that sack for barwin.
227 Baloophi said at 3:44 PM on October 5th, 2014:
NOW, Kenny Britt drops a pass.
228 BC1968 said at 3:44 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Cowboys late turnover please!!!!!!!!!
229 Baloophi said at 3:44 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Moose starting to watch Cowboys game instead…
230 RogerPodacter said at 3:45 PM on October 5th, 2014:
what. the. fuck.
231 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:45 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Late 4th quarter – its Romo time in Texas. 🙂
232 jpate said at 3:45 PM on October 5th, 2014:
wth are these d backs doing
233 RogerPodacter said at 3:45 PM on October 5th, 2014:
bradley fletcher? jesus christ, man…. that was fucking pathetic
234 BC1968 said at 3:45 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Wow just wow, I thought he was throwing that ball out of bounds
235 BlindChow said at 3:45 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Wow, the defense is still garbage. I can’t believe it.
236 RogerPodacter said at 3:46 PM on October 5th, 2014:
hopefully the rams didn’t figure out the strategy of throwing it at Fletcher every play…
237 Baloophi said at 3:45 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Time to start the Jaylen Watkins experiment?
238 BC1968 said at 3:45 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Problem is, we can’t run the freaking clock either.
239 RogerPodacter said at 3:46 PM on October 5th, 2014:
i thought we were doing OK at that on the last drive… until the Foles fumble…
240 BC1968 said at 3:47 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Good point, both of you.
241 xeynon said at 3:48 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They were snapping the ball with 10+ seconds left on the play clock. No need to do that. Not only does it make it harder to run off time, it means more snaps and more wear-and-tear on your players.
I’m concerned that Chip’s inability to throttle down the offense into clock-chewing mode will prove to be an Andy Reid-esque Achilles heel in deep playoff runs at some point.
242 RogerPodacter said at 3:50 PM on October 5th, 2014:
sure, but if Foles doesn’t fumble that ball, we’re not talking about this.
243 xeynon said at 3:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The more unnecessary snaps you have when you’re just trying to run clock, the greater the chances something goes wrong.
244 RogerPodacter said at 3:56 PM on October 5th, 2014:
so now their problem is that they ran too many snaps on that drive? i’m confused.
245 xeynon said at 4:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Run as much time off the clock between snaps as you can. That means more time off the clock with each snap, more time per series of downs and fewer necessary 3rd down conversions, and fewer chances for something bad like a fumble to happen.
246 BlindChow said at 3:47 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We weren’t doing too bad earlier, but Foles has to turnover the ball a certain number of times per game…
247 xeynon said at 3:46 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Bradley Fletcher sucks.
248 Anders said at 3:47 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Both our starting CB sucks
249 BC1968 said at 3:46 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This is not a good win no matter how you wrap it, hope it happens, but still. Are we ready for big time football? This could be a look ahead game so who knows?
250 GEAGLE said at 3:51 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Someone types this every single time we win, yet we are 4-1, EXACTLY where I said we would be (tho I expected to beat san,fran and lose to Rams)… We don’t have to be ready for primetime or whatever bulshit cliche we like to throw out…. We need to keep winning, stay healthy, let our young players grow and peak in December..if we are still having these games in December, then we have a proble,
…
This is a team that’s still growing, and has had some adversity thrown in its face… I don’t know why anyone would expect this September juggernaut right now..
251 xeynon said at 3:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Don’t count this “W” yet.
252 SeanofDead said at 3:47 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Our corners are awful…..we need more talent now….too bad mid season acquisitions are pretty much impossible
253 BC1968 said at 3:47 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Mid season there’s only shit out there anyways. You got whatchya got
254 Baloophi said at 3:48 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Maybe we can make an acquisition via subtraction?
255 xeynon said at 3:51 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I don’t understand why Boykin can’t get on the field more. I get that Davis prefers a particular physical profile for his corners, but really – you’d rather have big, sh*tty corners like Williams and Fletcher than a small, good one like Boykin?
256 BC1968 said at 3:48 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I’ll take that bad kickoff to give us decent position. That was odd they couldn’t decide what they wanted to do?
257 shah8 said at 3:48 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Because Henery apparently doesn’t believe in making field goals, the Bills had a chance to come back with Mr. Drunk Pornstash, and did so. Now, Stafford actually has to be competent for a win…
258 SeanofDead said at 3:48 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Don’t forget to hate on Nate too
259 Baloophi said at 3:49 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Cross your fingers the Dallas PK hits the JerryVision on his FG…
260 RogerPodacter said at 3:49 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Foles gets advice on sliding from this guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5-CgM5UNMw
261 BC1968 said at 3:50 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This team could be 5-1 very soon, and still, what the fuck kind of team do we have? A special teams defensive scoring machine?
262 GEAGLE said at 3:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Every time we have had negative results and someone makes an excuse for why you are bad…someone always responds with: “YOU ARE WHAT YOUR RECORD SAYS YOU ARE”… Don’t see why that would only apply to the bad times
263 SeanofDead said at 3:50 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Ehhh, Bailey is gonna get a shot at it
264 Flyineagle45 said at 3:50 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Foles is a nightmare this season
265 BC1968 said at 3:50 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That play always works, safe play to the outside.
266 RogerPodacter said at 3:51 PM on October 5th, 2014:
theyve been scheming that play all game by bringing in coop to run block
267 BC1968 said at 3:51 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Those IDIOTS don’t realize the clock don’t stop til under 5 minutes
268 Baloophi said at 3:51 PM on October 5th, 2014:
To be fair, it’s not like it’s their job to… wait…
269 SeanofDead said at 3:51 PM on October 5th, 2014:
53 yard attempt
270 BC1968 said at 3:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We need a first here, this is big, we are fucking this up.
271 GEAGLE said at 3:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I think I hate shady
272 BC1968 said at 3:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Don’t raise your hands, looks petty.
273 GEAGLE said at 3:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Bench shady Til Kelce and mathis get back
274 BC1968 said at 3:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Terrible, fans sitting on their hands now.
275 RogerPodacter said at 3:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
yea they were loud as hell earlier… when we had a big lead. shame
276 BlindChow said at 3:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Throwing short of the line on 3rd and long!
277 wallacemnw said at 3:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This is awful!
278 xeynon said at 3:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That was a horrible offensive possession.
279 BlindChow said at 3:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
And we can’t stop the Rams on defense.
280 Baloophi said at 3:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Dallas missed! Going to OT!
281 SeanofDead said at 3:53 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Bailey wide left from 53…… Overtime!
282 BC1968 said at 3:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Awesome! GO Texans!
283 wallacemnw said at 3:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
30 yd punt!?!
284 BC1968 said at 3:54 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Even our great punter is shitting the bed. I don’t understand this whole fucking team.
285 BC1968 said at 3:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Big turnover will be what ends the game, but still, we are up a shit right now.
286 Baloophi said at 3:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I guess Acho isn’t dead… since he missed that tackle.
287 Crus57 said at 3:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
As much attention to detail as Chip gives, it seems clear that some of our team are dumb as rocks with the small costly mistakes they are making.
288 BC1968 said at 3:56 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Ugh
289 Corry said at 3:56 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We have an opportunistic defense but they can’t close a game out at all.
290 xeynon said at 3:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
UGGHH. Bradley effing Fletcher.
291 Baloophi said at 3:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
HINT: They’re throwing the ball!
292 scratcherk said at 3:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
get fletcher out of the game
293 BC1968 said at 3:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Riley Cooper going out of bounds to stop the clock. THat announcer should be FIRED right now for not knowing the rules.
294 Corry said at 3:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
No, it’s cool. You don’t need to cover the running back.
295 shah8 said at 3:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Trying to keep track of too much. So many games close…
296 shah8 said at 3:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
And typhoons, and ebolas…
297 BC1968 said at 3:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
See how the clock didn’t stop
298 RogerPodacter said at 3:57 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Nolan Carroll just doesn’t look like he wants to be out there. at least Fletcher tries to tackle guys
299 Baloophi said at 3:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Question: Have we already used our “bail out” turnover?
300 BC1968 said at 3:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They went out with over 5 min and the clock didn’t stop..ASSSHOLEEE
301 shah8 said at 3:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
oh god, I’m getting a chill.
If the Rams come back. They actually come back…
302 shah8 said at 3:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Call back the cardiac wagon!! We gonna need it!
303 Baloophi said at 3:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We can’t stop the check-down. Good thing it’s not Kolb back there…
304 BC1968 said at 3:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
What the fuck? All this underneath shit
305 BlindChow said at 3:58 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Lol this is hilariously bad. We just let the Rams get right back in the game.
306 Mitchell said at 3:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Lol this is a joke
307 RogerPodacter said at 3:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
sigh…………
308 GEAGLE said at 3:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Shady can’t play until KELCE and mathis gets back.. Like our fans, shady isnt understanding that he needs to recalibrate his expectations. He can not expect to run the same way he does when he has the best center and Guard in all of football in front of him… If he can’t readjust, and cut this dumb shit out, then bench him Til he gets it… And when KELCE and Mathis get back in November he can get back to his dancing
309 BlindChow said at 3:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
haha, yep what a great defense. Who was that hyping them up earlier?
310 Mitchell said at 3:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I don’t ANYONE to ever say our corners “aren’t that bad”
311 BC1968 said at 3:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Bad? You’re being kind.
312 BC1968 said at 3:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Well so much for not having heart problems in the 4th quarter..what a joke
313 jpate said at 3:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
this team sucks
314 xeynon said at 3:59 PM on October 5th, 2014:
If the Eagles blow this game, it will officially be the worst loss of the Chip Kelly era.
This has been an awful performance.
315 scratcherk said at 4:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
wtf is going on here.
316 DamonL86 said at 4:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
What a joke
317 jpate said at 4:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
this is just like 2012 Detroit game.
318 BC1968 said at 4:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Yep, we went 4-12 that year
319 RogerPodacter said at 4:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
what an awful throw by Austin Davis. if Cary williams saw the ball coming, he could have made a play on the ball
320 ConcussedFB said at 4:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Needed some humor there, thanks.
321 xeynon said at 4:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Unfortunately, Cary Williams is a subpar NFL cornernback. Guys like that don’t make these plays.
322 RogerPodacter said at 4:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
should have said “sarcasm” in the post. this was a joke as people were saying that Foles TD pass to cooper was a bad pass because the DB could have made a play on it… or something
323 GENETiC-FREAK said at 4:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
hahaha wtf!
324 SeanofDead said at 4:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Like Martin Lawrence once said to Will Smith….. “Shit just got real”
325 BC1968 said at 4:01 PM on October 5th, 2014:
K first downs and win this….or else…..
326 Flyineagle45 said at 4:01 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This team drives me bat shit crazy
327 GEAGLE said at 4:01 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They have to win, because I can’t take a loss in this city this week….so that’s that… Now flap your fucking wings, make a play and go win this game!
328 Mitchell said at 4:02 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Lol
329 Baloophi said at 4:02 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Guess that’s why we don’t huddle. It takes an hour.
330 BC1968 said at 4:03 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They don’t know how to run the clock…this is pathetic
331 xeynon said at 4:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This is football 101. As smart as Chip Kelly is, I can’t believe he has this blind spot.
332 Anders said at 4:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They know, the OL is just not good enough
333 BC1968 said at 4:03 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Doesn’t matter the clock stops stupid announcer play clock was down anyways
334 GEAGLE said at 4:03 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That’s EXACTLY what this team needs right now…Booo them! That will help…fuckin losers
335 BC1968 said at 4:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
FUck them and their million dollars, trying to ruin everyone’s week.
336 ACViking said at 4:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Eloquent as always!
337 GEAGLE said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Like am I crazy? I get it, it sucks… It’s friggin crunch time, and you boooo them at home?
338 scratcherk said at 4:03 PM on October 5th, 2014:
welll this is a cluster f.
339 shah8 said at 4:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Cam Newton must have been absolutely incredible today.
340 Baloophi said at 4:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Let’s hit Ertz for the Firstz…
341 GEAGLE said at 4:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I hate shady… Please give it to Sproles…PLEASE!!
342 RogerPodacter said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
i’m surprised we havent seen Polk in there at all. would be nice for a change of pace late in the game.

Out with hamstring.
344 RogerPodacter said at 4:09 PM on October 5th, 2014:
oh! thanks!
345 Baloophi said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Good call!
346 GEAGLE said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That’s all I asked… Thank you
347 RogerPodacter said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
or what you said. thats good too. : )
348 GEAGLE said at 4:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
He ran STRAIGHT!! Look at that, what a concept
349 BC1968 said at 4:04 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Need a first down here, big time.
350 BlindChow said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
So, third down. Do we throw deep or just short of the chains?
351 BC1968 said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Do the roll out pass play.
352 xeynon said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That this team is in a position where they have to make plays to win the game at this point is inexcusable.
353 Corry said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Holy shit, I love you Darren Sproles.
354 BlindChow said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
He needs to be the starter, seriously.
355 BC1968 said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Fire Shady
356 Mitchell said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Sroles says, “cya fuckers!”
357 GEAGLE said at 4:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
“I’m ghost….bitches!!!M…”
358 BC1968 said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
No excuse to not be able to run
359 SeanofDead said at 4:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
How fitting, Sproles our fearless leader with the first
360 BC1968 said at 4:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
FG range and let’s go home with diapers full
361 scratcherk said at 4:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
sproles – MVP of the Eagles.
362 RogerPodacter said at 4:06 PM on October 5th, 2014:
all right, another big 3rd down conversion here
363 BC1968 said at 4:07 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Gotta get a decent play to get it down for a first down.
364 shah8 said at 4:07 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Play for the game coming up.
365 shah8 said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Thought that would be play action.
366 BC1968 said at 4:07 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Dial it up Chip!
367 Corry said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
…..
368 RogerPodacter said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
jeez. they saw that play coming a mile away
369 BC1968 said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They’re going to make a 3rd string rookie drive it down the field.
370 Michael Winter Cho said at 4:09 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Clock’s gotta strike midnight sometime.
371 BC1968 said at 4:09 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Oh please, we can only hope!
372 xeynon said at 4:10 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The same 3rd string rookie who’s been carving them up in this 4th quarter?
Again, the fact that Davis has the ball in his hands with a chance to win the game, after the way things stood at the end of the 3rd quarter, is completely effing inexcusable. Even if they hold on to win this game, Kelly needs to be roasted this week.
373 ConcussedFB said at 4:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Nah, it will be Foles, Shady, and way back will be the offensive genius Kelly.
374 BlindChow said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
If they score another TD we lose.
375 Baloophi said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Even an incomplete pass would’ve taken us to the two minute warning, right?
376 jpate said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
yep
377 xeynon said at 4:09 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Chip Kelly clearly hasn’t played enough Madden.
378 Baloophi said at 4:09 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Ironic, for he is maddening.
379 xeynon said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I don’t like that draw play out of the shotgun at this point. Nobody is going to be fooled. Line up with multiple TEs, put Casey at FB, and pound it up the middle. There’s still a game situation that calls for old time football.
380 SeanofDead said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Giants and Cowboys win…
381 DamonL86 said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They have to make it interesting
382 BC1968 said at 4:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
It wouldn’t killed them to run that roll out pass, how much time would you lose? Geez
383 GEAGLE said at 4:09 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Fisher looks like my drunk Jack nicholson back from margaritaville with those pink shades… Pop an E pill while your at it wacko
384 Bob Brewer said at 4:09 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Dallas wins.
385 RogerPodacter said at 4:10 PM on October 5th, 2014:
damn. though it is nice that they had to win in OT against the texans
386 BC1968 said at 4:10 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Turnover will end this game. Stop being so dramatic, I want to have an easy game one day!
387 BC1968 said at 4:10 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Beautiful punt, our defense loses this, they can go home for good.
388 RogerPodacter said at 4:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
glad to see a nice punt this week. the last few clutch time punts have been awful
389 RogerPodacter said at 4:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
390 GEAGLE said at 4:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!M DEFENSE refuse to lose!!!!!
391 BC1968 said at 4:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Terrible secondary, unreal.
392 BlindChow said at 4:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
haha, oh man they’re losers.
393 shah8 said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I feel sick.
I literally feel sick!!!
394 RogerPodacter said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
tackle made by McCleod… uhhhh
395 Baloophi said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
There can be only one…
396 RogerPodacter said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
fantastic. i applaud you, sir.
397 GEAGLE said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!!
398 scratcherk said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
fuckin bench fletcher
399 Corry said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
HOW DO YOU LEAVE A MAN THAT WIDE OPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING FIELD LIKE THAT?!
400 BC1968 said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Guys WIDE open. We got lucky
401 BlindChow said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
That’s how we won against Washington.
402 GEAGLE said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
No..no..no,fuckers!!! DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!!
403 jpate said at 4:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
wtf does it take for this team to bench someone?
404 BC1968 said at 4:13 PM on October 5th, 2014:
One more big play!!!!!!!!!!
405 GEAGLE said at 4:13 PM on October 5th, 2014:
DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!mrefuse to lose!
406 GEAGLE said at 4:13 PM on October 5th, 2014:
DEFENSE!,DEFENSE! DEFENSE!
407 Baloophi said at 4:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I hate that they have to go 5 seconds past the clock before it’s delay of game…
408 jpate said at 4:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
3rd and long I can’t watch
409 Spooonius said at 4:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
c’mon defense.
410 GEAGLE said at 4:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!!
411 BC1968 said at 4:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Oh shit, this is unreal. BOth nfc east teams won
412 RogerPodacter said at 4:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
shouldnt that also take time off the clock? or did that rule change?
413 Spooonius said at 4:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
phew.
414 Baloophi said at 4:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Another easy win, everybody!
415 BC1968 said at 4:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
WOW He didn’t even try there? After all that? That’s all they get?
416 RogerPodacter said at 4:15 PM on October 5th, 2014:
miscommunication? how about the guy coming free up the middle of the OL forcing Davis to throw the ball earlier than he wanted?
417 shah8 said at 4:15 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Don’t none of these people feel proud.
None of them.
418 GEAGLE said at 4:15 PM on October 5th, 2014:
DEFENSE!! DEFENSE! DEFENSE! Flap your wings boys!…
…
Offense didn’t deserve that game anyway. It’s fitting that the defense was on the field to win it! DEFENSE!mDEFENSE!mDEFENSE!!
419 Anders said at 4:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
You mean the defense who couldnt stop the fucking Rams?
It was both offense and defense fault it even got this close. We gave up 28 points to an unimpressive Rams offense
420 BobSmith77 said at 4:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Yup another week where the defense ultimately gives up a ton of points.
They had some really good moments but allowed a ton of huge plays in the 2nd half.
421 BC1968 said at 4:15 PM on October 5th, 2014:
3rd string rookie qb dominated us at the end. What do we do? What do we do?
422 GEAGLE said at 4:16 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Keep finding ways to win until we get it together and catch our stride
423 xeynon said at 4:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Get used to it. We have two lousy cornerbacks and an offense that can’t run out the clock, no lead will be safe this season.
424 Corry said at 4:15 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Can nothing be easy?
425 jpate said at 4:16 PM on October 5th, 2014:
i hate this broadcasting team
426 BC1968 said at 4:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
THey don’t understand the clock stopping under 5 minutes? I don’t get that shit, kept saying stupid shit like the Cooper play.
427 BC1968 said at 4:16 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I can say this: The special teams is the only given on this slopfest of a team.
428 BC1968 said at 4:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The only good team we have beat is the Colts, they’ve been doing great since we beat them.
429 Flyin said at 4:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
So much for a stress free victory. At least they got the win!!!
430 Patrick said at 4:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Its pathetic that we struggle against the freaking Rams, but i’ll take the W. I’ll take questionable W’s all the way to the Super Bowl post game show
431 BlindChow said at 4:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Questionable wins won’t get you to the Super Bowl.
432 Anders said at 4:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
It will get you to the play offs. After week 10 we should have Mathis and Kelce back and offense might begin to score more than 2 TDs
433 xeynon said at 4:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Offense wasn’t the issue. They went into a shell offensively late in the game. The bigger problem is that the defense fell apart at the end.
434 Anders said at 4:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Offense was the problem.
435 Sean Stott said at 4:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
A few poor turnovers, especially the McCoy and Foles fumbles was the problem.
436 Anders said at 4:22 PM on October 5th, 2014:
and the fact that Foles is just BAD right now
437 xeynon said at 4:23 PM on October 5th, 2014:
He was mediocre this week. But that’s better than last week.
438 Anders said at 4:05 AM on October 6th, 2014:
No Foles was BAD, constantly drifting back, throwing of his backfoot into coverage and that is not even thinking of the fumble and that poor underthrown int.
439 BC1968 said at 4:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Both were the problem, without a doubt. 30th ranked defense, no defense for the offense.
440 xeynon said at 4:22 PM on October 5th, 2014:
More of a playcalling issue though. Unimaginative running plays + bad clock management = no points, not enough ToP.
I am more concerned about the defense. All they had to do to salt away an easy win was not give up big chunks of yards or easy TDs in the 4th quarter, and they went out and did both.
441 Sean Stott said at 4:24 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Running the ball with 3 seconds to the 2 minute warning seemed especially dumb. They were having success throwing it, and one more 1st down would have iced it.
442 xeynon said at 4:25 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Indeed.
I thought Chip’s coaching was unfairly criticized last week, but he was flat out bad this week.
443 Sean Stott said at 4:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
>TB vs. Seattle 2013
>questionable win
>won the Super Bowl
444 xeynon said at 4:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The issue is that this team isn’t winning the Super Bowl with the weaknesses it has. Struggle to run the clock and let your defense get torched against a better team than the Rams and a better quarterback than Austin Davis, and this game is a “L”.
445 GEAGLE said at 4:17 PM on October 5th, 2014:
4-1… You are what your record says you are….. Is what I was always told when our record was bad…
446 BC1968 said at 4:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Cowboys are 4-1 too.
447 GEAGLE said at 4:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Thinks it’s a coincidence that the first time they been Goode in years iswhen their OL is good? Or that we don’t look as good as last year when we had the best OL in Eagles history? Think these are just coincidences?msee Brady’s play with a bad line?
…
Everything is intertwined.. It’s a mistake to think replacing the best cEntet in the NFL isn’t going to effect FOles n shady.. Replacing the best guard in football with Tobin…
….
OL effects everything and everyone, which is why your DL is so important… Need to recalibrate expectations Til nov 10 when they get back
448 Crus57 said at 4:18 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We are lucky sons of… parents.
449 BC1968 said at 4:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We played the 30th ranked defense in the league and were shit other than a few plays…lol
450 BobSmith77 said at 4:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I thought it would be ugly, that Shady would struggle again, and that the Eagles would ultimately win yesterday. All that matters although this OL is still a mess and Foles made some really poor decisions this week.
451 BC1968 said at 4:19 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Hey, it could be a look ahead game, next week will tell a lot.
452 BC1968 said at 4:20 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This secondary is turning into legendary awful, what are we going to do with them?
453 Baloophi said at 4:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
One might say take them out behind the woodshed, but they’d probably get lost on the way…
454 BC1968 said at 4:22 PM on October 5th, 2014:
haha no doubt
455 Anders said at 4:22 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Im almost missing NA+DRC
456 GEAGLE said at 4:31 PM on October 5th, 2014:
You high? ATleast these dudes tackle RBs… Plus we saw,these corners struggle early last year and get it together to play some quality ball against a murderous row of wide Reciever tandems in November – JAnuary… See no reason to think that won’t happen again, especially since we are getting a pass rush..
.
Look at every year Cary has played, you always see much better november-JAnuary player, and always have these early season struggles… Brad was also better in crunch time last year…. That should continue especially as Malcolm really settles in,,,. If wolff ever gets it together and takes Nates job. That would be awesome.. Don’t have much faith In him..
…
As long as we peak at the right time, like last year, we will be fine.,,.. Nice to see us find a way to win these early season slop fests tho… We Lose these games the last two seasons.
457 Anders said at 4:32 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Did you watch Williams pathic attempt at an tackle in this game?
458 GEAGLE said at 4:40 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I also saw him hold up Zac Stacy alone while waited for team mates to get their… Namdi would have run away if he saw Zac coming at him..funny how you won’t ever say a bad word about Nate or Brad… I have no prob keeping it real when Cary is either A) an idiot B) gets burnt…. Try it
459 xeynon said at 5:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
You do realize “at least he’s a better tackler than Nnamdi” is about the least inspiring complimentary thing you could possibly say about a cornerback?
460 Mitchell said at 4:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Holy Molly that was a rough second half
461 Kohlhaas said at 4:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
just have to hold it together until Mathis and Kelsey get back. These games are a mother effer to watch but every win helps.
462 BobSmith77 said at 4:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Team misses Kelce more than any other player although they miss Kendricks playmaking ability on defense.
463 GEAGLE said at 4:24 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Front 7 has been really good.. Scary when they get kendrick back
464 BobSmith77 said at 4:25 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Yeah they played well although they had some coverage lapses in the 2nd half. DL has been the most consistent unit on the team so far
465 xeynon said at 4:26 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The issue is that as good as the front seven has been, everyone in the secondary not named Malcolm Jenkins or Brandon Boykin has been more than bad enough to compensate.
466 jpate said at 4:23 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Only corner who made a play is boykin. I don’t know if boykin stole his lunch money but davis needs to get his head out of his ass and replace fletcher
467 Flyineagle45 said at 4:23 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They are killing me
468 BC1968 said at 4:23 PM on October 5th, 2014:
We’ve seen teams playing worse this early in the season go on to win Super Bowls, no biggie.
469 Flyineagle45 said at 4:23 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The next few weeks on the schedule all look like L’s to me 🙁
470 BC1968 said at 4:24 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Even the bye? Oh shit
471 Flyineagle45 said at 4:25 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Yes they might find a way to possibly lose that as well
472 BC1968 said at 4:26 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Or make it close.
473 BC1968 said at 4:26 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They are gutting this shit out, will be good for later hopefully. But still, that secondary, holy moly.
474 BC1968 said at 4:27 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This should’ve been a 55-11 Bears type of game, this team has to be that team. Worries set in .
475 kajomo said at 4:31 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Funny how you said this only minutes before
“We’ve seen teams playing worse this early in the season go on to win Super Bowls, no biggie.”
476 BC1968 said at 4:33 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I’m bipolar, duh you’re pointing it out. There are good and bad things as I go through the game in my mind. Things have been worse for teams that won, we’ve played better when we got a big lead, that was a historic collapse. Worries are there, but things can change down the stretch.
477 BC1968 said at 4:34 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Plus the secondary sucks ass so bad, they should take people off the street to have a better chance.
478 GEAGLE said at 4:38 PM on October 5th, 2014:
This team, NEEDS to be THAT team in December.. NOW, we just have to find a way to win games…
…
But we have TONS to work on… Doubt we will see complacency.
479 OregonDucker said at 4:41 PM on October 5th, 2014:
“TONS to work on….” like Foles not passing off his back leg?
480 GEAGLE said at 4:46 PM on October 5th, 2014:
FOles entire mechanics are off… It’s not rocket science. We have seen this kid be an accurate sñiper in the past. We know he is Capable of throwing with crazy precision…when we see innacurate FOles, that just means he isn’t throwing with proper mechanics…IMO, that happens when you don’t trust your line, when you been catching a beating… Possibly still too sore to be able to take hits like he normally does when he stands in the pocket delivering with the defender closing down on him for a big hit he knows is coming….
….
Nick can work on his mechanics all he wants, but he knows how to be accurate.. But we won’t see accurate FOles until he trusts his protection when the live bullets fly… Even if the OL plays great, which it didn’t.. He has to trust his protection..when he dpesmt, his mechanics will go out of WACK…
…
It sucks, but not insurmountable.. WE just have to deal with more growing pains than people would like to deal with…
..
Don’t think its logical to expect Nick n shady to be able to play at the level they played behind the best OL in franchise history last year…. Lose Mathis and KELCE, you are going yo have to account for those losses…
…just keep winning, get healthy, stay a float, and hit our stride when we need to, late in the season when we get our horses back.. Nov 10 isn’t that far away…
…
big important game against Giants coming up!
481 OregonDucker said at 5:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Yep, just like the Ducks this team depends on the OL for the playoffs. No OL, then no playoffs.
482 anon said at 5:31 PM on October 5th, 2014:
yeah but against a good team he tossed like 4 picks today. Instead of the sack he’s just tossing balls in the air of his back leg. I don’t understand that at all.
If he’s scared to get hit he shouldn’t be in the game.
483 BC1968 said at 4:29 PM on October 5th, 2014:
A home NFC win, still better than last year’s start. There, I said some positive things.
484 FoneBone80 said at 4:30 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Alex Henery missed 50 yard field goal to win, by a mile. Bills made 58 yard field goal twenty seconds later to win instead.
485 BC1968 said at 4:30 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Damn, talk about falling fast.
486 GEAGLE said at 4:35 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I don’t miss that…
487 BC1968 said at 4:31 PM on October 5th, 2014:
One Foles fumble and we’re talking about a blow out win and big game next week. Now things seem reeling.
488 GEAGLE said at 4:35 PM on October 5th, 2014:
“It’s always sunny in Philadelphia”… Going to be a fun week..,
489 Baloophi said at 4:31 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Two positives:
1) We won.
2) The team has no excuse to be complacent this week.
490 jpate said at 4:35 PM on October 5th, 2014:
silver lining
491 Baloophi said at 4:35 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Yep… I decided not to list the Thousand negatives…
492 Crus57 said at 4:40 PM on October 5th, 2014:
1(a) We held the mighty Rams to a lower score than Dallas did.
493 Flyineagle45 said at 4:32 PM on October 5th, 2014:
They had like 14pts off foles turnovers
494 GEAGLE said at 4:33 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Foles “slide” was some Embarressing shit… He can’t be doing that. He has to be able to be smarter than Vixk for crying out loud.. I know he has it between his ears… Stop that “VICK ish”

Vick is a much more accomplished QB than Foles is. Easy with the insults.

Insults? How is anything stated above, inaccurate? Lol

It’s an unnecessary slight. Furthermore, sliding and fumbling has little to do with intelligence. It’s more about situational awareness and having good instincts.

500 BobSmith77 said at 4:38 PM on October 5th, 2014:
At turnovering the ball at a ridiculous clip as a starter the past few years, yes Vick absolutely was great at that. He averaged over 2/game in ’12 & ’13.
501 Allen3000 said at 4:42 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I truly hope Foles has the better career, and I am definitely thankful he won the QB battle, but let’s not kid ourselves here. He’s not as accomplished as Vick was. When he takes an inept, talent deficient offense all the way to the NFC Championship game, then maybe we can have a discussion (or does something close to that level).
502 anon said at 5:28 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Foles has like 6 turnovers in 5 games – that’s a glass house argument if i’ve ever seen one.
503 BobSmith77 said at 5:35 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Try 8 (5 INTs, 3 lost fumbles) and if you count FF as you should it is now 9.
504 anon said at 5:37 PM on October 5th, 2014:
on pace for 24 through 15 games? All hat 27-2. Gotta think about the qb question – he just does’t look good (TOs aside).
Should have been an easy downhill game. You gotta also wonder if you keep mccoy at $10m a year.
505 Crus57 said at 4:42 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I have no problem with the slide itself, since he always looks like a giraffe that has suddenly forgotten how to walk when he slides, but ffs protect the damn ball with both hands and don’t be so casual about it. If you’re going to slide sideways, as he does, you have no excuse not to put both hands on the ball to secure it.
506 GEAGLE said at 4:51 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Dude,,, it wasn’t that far off of his buddy’s “butt fumble”… It was bad lol
507 anon said at 5:27 PM on October 5th, 2014:
yeah untouched slide fumble. It was like RGIII.
508 BobSmith77 said at 4:36 PM on October 5th, 2014:
To me this game was about the 3 turnovers that the Eagles had and not one of them was on a great play the Rams’ defense made. Eagles win a laughter this week without them.
Kelly says time and time again that he doesn’t care about time of possession but about maximizing the number of times the Eagles get the ball & drive efficiency.
They turn the ball over 3 times next week and they’ll lose for sure. That and the continued red zone struggles. Need to start putting up some more TDs.
509 BC1968 said at 4:38 PM on October 5th, 2014:

One good thing too was cutting down the penalties this week although Cooper had 2 really stupid motion penalties.

If they could cut back on the self inflicted stupid mistakes, they’d be destroying the opposition.

I’m throwing a partial parade down Broad Street if the Eagles win next week and are 5-1 at the bye.

Getting drunk by yourself and stumbling down broad street doesn’t really count as a parade, but I say go for it!

BIG GAME NEXT WEEK! Normally I would really care much about the difference between 5-1 and 4-2, but because we face a Rival that is doing well in the standings, this game becomes HUGE….and it’s going to be a closely fought battle..
…
Great test for us… It won’t be pretty, but if we can get up for a rival THATS playing well, stumbling into our much needed bye week it will be big time, especially for our growth….
.,,
Doesn’t have to be pretty, just find a way to overcome everything…and when we hit our stride, thes closely fought battles will pay off in terms of experience…. We didn’t have these wins In our back pocket during the dogfight saints game…. Winning like this sucks…but it can pay off
524 BC1968 said at 4:56 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Going to be an exciting lead up, can’t wait.
525 BobSmith77 said at 4:52 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Few other quick points:
– Screen game has blown up and dried away without Kelce and to a lesser degree Mathis. If Molk struggles again so much next week, I wonder if he gets pulled.
– I was glad to see Sproles get a few more carries this week and it paid some real dividends in the 2nd half. McCoy just waiting for a hole to develop on the inside runs that isn’t there. He did a bit of a better job of taking the 3 or 4 yard gain though a bit later in the game.
– Johnson looked really rusty but that was to be expected. I don’t expect he’ll really get back up to speed until after the bye.
– This team’s skill players aren’t as good as people think they are especially with Celek continued subpar play. Teams simply don’t have to worry about Cooper or Matthews deep and Ertz continues to be erratic.
– Barwin and Ryans continue to be the most consistent performers on defense so far. Neither one has had a horrible game so far this year and their steady presence really helps although Ryans seems a bit slow this year especially in the 2nd half of games.
– Allen continues to looked ‘dazed and confused’ and out of position on way too many plays.
526 BobSmith77 said at 4:55 PM on October 5th, 2014:
One other things – is Herremans ever going to play a good and consistent game this year where he blocks well in the run/pass game.
He continues to be a real zero each week and the Eagles really need a lot more out of him including much more consistency.
527 GEAGLE said at 5:00 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Wish we could pull Molk… No idea what Wade smith can provide, and if he has the condition ing to play fast…but I despise Molk.. I miss vanndervelde

When that show’s over.
532 BC1968 said at 5:08 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I can tell you he said the corners are horrible, and they should change at least one, it wouldn’t make it any worse. It’s worrisome they let this slip away even though they did win. That’s some of what I heard wasn’t totally listening, but he tore the shit out of the corners.
533 BobSmith77 said at 5:12 PM on October 5th, 2014:
The only idea he shot down was putting Boykins outside especially today against too WRs who were 6’4′
534 ACViking said at 5:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
BC1968:
thank you.
535 BC1968 said at 6:03 PM on October 5th, 2014:
No problem, plus yeah, I did hear some of what BobSmith said below, a lot of people were asking about Boykins. There’s another corner, fuck I should know his name, that they were talking about, not Boykin. Carrol or something? Some fan I am lol..anyways…I’m sure GE will have more for ya.
536 GEAGLE said at 5:05 PM on October 5th, 2014:
What a weird game.. I look at the game our defense had. and so much in the front 7 was amazing, yet so much in the back end was horrendous..
…
Tho we also probably have to account for human nature letdown that you often seen when you been up by a lot all game.. I want to rip the corners and Nate..but im also sure that they are playing different with a lead lIke that, playing that scared prevent style off when you just don’t want to give Up the big play when you have a lead like we have….
…
When it mattered they did buckle down and play tight enough to make the QB not be able to throw any completions in crunch time…
…
Just like FOles had a rough game, but when it mattered most, like the drive right before halftime, he steps up and gets the job done…
…
Plenty to work on, a lot of good, plenty of bad….very important week coming up
537 ACViking said at 5:07 PM on October 5th, 2014:
very impt week
538 BobSmith77 said at 5:10 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Play calling wasn’t great either especially in the 2nd half and it seem this week yet again the Eagles tried to force the ball deep a few times too many.

I love having Chip as our coach, but I think it is a very legitimate argument on who has been the better coach so far for their respective teams. I don’t know if either of them has the same success if they were to swap teams, but I know a lot of people wanted Mike McCoy when we were looking for our head coach.

Kind of feel for the guy. Don’t want to see someone personally fail in life at their profession, it’s their living, he has a family. I wouldn’t take too much pleasure in that manner. If it’s the Cowboys who are getting pummeled that logic goes out the window for me but really, I’m glad he’s not here, I feel bad he’s failing. Geez my feels meds are taking over my body
547 anon said at 5:21 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I told myself i was going to stay positive b/c the defense played well and i wasn’t going to focus on critiques until later in the week. But damn, we almost got beat by the Rams and their 3rd string QB. And if the D doesn’t give us 14 points, it’s an L.
Foles can’t throw downhill. McCoy is finding out how hard it is to be the best Rb in the league. Offense generally looks terrible and I feel like without the scheme we can’t move the ball – -which means our players aren’t that good.
Great win 4-1 kept pace with Dallas but it’s hard to be really happy with the win.
548 BC1968 said at 6:11 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Dude on Fox, our local guy former Defensive lineman Darwin Walker, made a great point, this defense is used to fighting to get the other team off the field int the second half so they can get their offense the ball back. Now they are in position defending a lead as the offense keeps giving the balll back in the 2nd half, whether fumble, punt etc. It takes a toll when you have to deal with all this shit. So you’re tiredness is easier to spot in the second half when you’re trying to hang on. I try and help out here repeating things I hear, forgive me sometimes it’s all jumbled cause my memory. I’m 47 and years of drinking in the 90’s and early 2000’s takes it’s toll on my withering brain cells. Still withering but I try vitamin c. Any ideas if there’s Dr’s out there? LOL
549 Anders said at 4:10 AM on October 6th, 2014:
Makes sense. This defense like the early 2000’s, is setup up on been aggressive and getting after the CB, not just setting back playing passive.
Its really the same with the offense. I really hope both Kelly and Davis learns that this team is not setup to grind out a victory, but just keep the peddle to the metal. Keep trying to score on offense with tempo and keep blitzing. Seems we allow more points when we try to prevent scoring over when we blitz the hell out of other teams
550 livingonapear said at 6:14 PM on October 5th, 2014:
I made the argument that our problems with the pass D last year had more to do with lack of pressure.pass rush than because of bad coverage.
I retract that argument.
551 BC1968 said at 6:35 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Coverage is horrific. Just in time for Halloween. A few missed on that last drive we could be singing a whole different tune.
552 livingonapear said at 10:02 PM on October 5th, 2014:
Austin was just hucking stuff up on the last few drives and they kept finding hands. There was usually one, sometimes two defenders in the area, but all his desperation throws were falling.
I will give him some credit in that he adjusted from the first half and started stepping up in the pocket instead of bailing out, but he was just winging it for most of that comeback rally. We should have been able to pick something off.
553 Anders said at 4:07 AM on October 6th, 2014:
Another problem was the Eagles stop blitzing (funny how we stopped them when we blitzted again?) and that allowed him to either scramble or just dump it off to the RB with zero players in 10 yards radius.
Also our CBs except for Boykin suck at getting their heads around. We could have had 2-3 ints instead of TDs if the CBs could turn their heads
554 livingonapear said at 10:34 PM on October 6th, 2014:
Its strange how this team can never put together a, b, and c at the same time. We get a little a and b, or b and c, and sometimes a and c, but that’s what separates us from a team like the Seahawks (who don’t always look like the same team as last year).
I’m seeing a lot of fairly good coverage/positioning, and good rush, but guys either aren’t getting their heads around or not contesting the catch.
Other times, Fletcher gets beat, but contests the catch and comes away with a breakup.
