Dirty Bird Domination

Posted: September 14th, 2015 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 1,152 Comments »

The Eagles are just getting dominated. All over the place.

The only thing keeping this from being a complete disaster is the lack of major injuries.

Eagles were down 17-0 at the half in last year’s opener. Also down 17 this year, but feels different. ATL is better team and Matt Ryan is a stud QB.

Ugly night. Gonna take some big plays to turn this around.

    Little disappointed in that half…

  2. 2 Joe Minx said at 8:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Way too much cocky shit talking in here the last week. This is why they actually play the games.

  3. 3 xeynon said at 8:47 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    For sure. The Eagles fanbase needed a reality check and the Falcons are serving one up in a big way.

  4. 4 phillychuck said at 8:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Fan talk doesn’t mean squat.

    Chip Kelly on the street by mid-season? (just kidding…I think)

  5. 5 Joe Minx said at 8:51 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Has nothing do with the outcome but it makes it so when things like this happen it hurts twice as much.

  6. 6 Corry said at 8:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    the body language of the players is just bad.

  7. 7 Allen3000 said at 8:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    What makes it scary is that we aren’t simply making boneheaded plays…We are just getting dominated in all facets of the game. They are dominating the line of scrimmage.

  8. 8 Dizzie_D said at 8:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Of all games to play terribly in, there’s nothing worse than doing it in the first game; all the build-up and all that summer optimism drained away.

  9. 9 John Galt said at 8:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Tommy, I like the no major injuries storyline, I figure we can also go with, “at least they will be motivated for next week”

  10. 10 DarthBanner said at 8:47 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    At this rate the division race will be over by Halloween

  11. 11 DarthBanner said at 8:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    So far every Chip Kelly offseason move is blowing up in his face.

  12. 12 xeynon said at 8:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    How dare you question the Tao of Chip!

  13. 13 John Galt said at 8:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Haven’t seen much of the ducker since about three mins after kick off

  14. 14 SteveH said at 8:53 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He’s been there. He’s depressed as any of us.

  15. 15 Corry said at 8:46 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It’s been a pretty good team effort to suck.

  16. 16 Donald Kalinowski said at 8:47 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Wow. All this trash talk about the Cowboys and Eagles look worse than the Jaguars. Anyone else looking at 2016 mock drafts yet?

  17. 17 DarthBanner said at 8:47 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    and potential available coaches

  18. 18 Donald Kalinowski said at 8:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The offensive line sucks they’re getting dominated.

  19. 19 botto said at 8:49 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Can’t wait for the game to start

  20. 20 D3FB said at 8:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Hold me.

  21. 21 SteveH said at 8:53 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Suicide pact D3FB?

  22. 22 D3FB said at 8:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It’s been one half.

    If we look like this week 4 then sure.

  23. 23 teltschikfakeout88 said at 8:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The OL is not getting any push…they are getting worked…..this game is making me question whether Peters is on the STEEP decline or just a bad half….

  24. 24 phillychuck said at 8:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    So what would be the minimum acceptable 2nd half performance?

  25. 25 John Galt said at 8:51 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Win

  26. 26 teltschikfakeout88 said at 8:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Need the D to get a quick three and out….

  27. 27 Greg Richards said at 8:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Need the D to sack Ryan, knocking him from game, and return the forced fumble for a TD.

  28. 28 Donald Kalinowski said at 8:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Maybe Heath Evans was right

  29. 29 xeynon said at 8:51 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Reality check time, guys.

    The Eagles have an offensive line that starts a couple of completely mediocre non-entities and has no depth.

    The Eagles have a young receiving corps that, while talented, lacks experience in pressure situations.

    The Eagles have a quarterback who has always struggled to throw the ball deep and doesn’t deal well with pressure.

    The Eagles have a secondary with a lot of question marks in it.

    These are all weaknesses that have been there all along. One good half against the Packers did not erase them. They are weaknesses that will hamper the team throughout the year and are the reasons it is likely not a Super Bowl contender. And they’re being exposed now.

    This team is still good enough to make the playoffs however. Readjust your expectations to realistic levels and enjoy the season.

  30. 30 Corry said at 8:53 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    From what I’ve seen, they’re actually not good enough to make the playoffs. They’re being dominated in the trenches, receivers can’t catch, and Bill Davis still has no idea how to defend against the deep pass.

  31. 31 phillychuck said at 8:51 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Is it that easy to game plan for our offense? Looks a lot different than pre-season.

  32. 32 Flyineagle45 said at 8:52 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Hey my tv is on espn I thought the eagles were supposed to play tonight?

  33. 33 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:53 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Turn it off. Trust me.

  34. 34 E.A.G.L.E.S said at 8:53 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    They’re attacking out guards with stunts. Ugh.

  35. 35 xeynon said at 8:55 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I can see Dan Quinn sitting in his office late at night analyzing the Eagles’ roster for weaknesses, seeing the names “Andrew Gardner” and “Allen Barbre” first on the depth chart, and thinking “Bingo”.

  36. 36 Greg Richards said at 8:55 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That’s always given our line trouble but they get better as year goes along.

  37. 37 BC1968 said at 8:53 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    A quick defensive stop here and give us false hope please.

  38. 38 Corry said at 8:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Kendricks on special teams?

  39. 39 Insomniac said at 8:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    WOW my professor lets us out early to catch the game and I come home to this? wtf happened?

  40. 40 Joe Minx said at 8:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Reality, unfortunately.

  41. 41 Insomniac said at 8:55 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m guessing the secondary is as advertised?

  42. 42 SteveH said at 8:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It’s too horrible to describe.

  43. 43 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Its worse than it looks.

  44. 44 OregonDucker said at 8:55 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    fletcher Cox with another sack. Refs desperately looking for a reason to throw a flag.

    Could have for holding or hands to the face of Cox

    Let’s get it

  70. 70 GEAGLE said at 8:57 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Make me pay Sammy

  71. 71 Ark87 said at 8:57 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Lessons of the half:

    1) 3/5 of a great line is not a good line

    2) fixed the X plays, broke everything else

    3) 2014 means nothing. Preseason means nothing.

    Once those 3 principles are established, we might be able to look like an NFL team in this second half

  72. 72 BlindChow said at 8:59 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    No, we still gave up plenty of X plays…

  73. 73 Ark87 said at 9:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    More than 20 yards? They were passing with extreme ease. Didn’t see anything over the top. Our dismantling has been pretty systematic. Not sudden or as fluky as an x play.

  74. 74 D3FB said at 9:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    1. Dallas starts Leary and Free

    2. Shannhan has done a good job with play calling. Good play calling is like good pitch calling. It’s a brand new O so it’s not like the Eagles have a set number of plays to expect it’s alot of well the QB ran some of this successfully here the OC ran some successful stuff there, heres what we think they will do.

    3. There has been too much turnover for 2014 to mean anything and obviously preseason is preseaon.

  75. 75 xeynon said at 9:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    1.)Leary and Free are average NFL starters, possibly slightly better. That’s miles ahead of Barbre and Gardner, who might be the worst starting G combo in the league.

    2.)Other coaches get paid too. They’re going to call good plays sometimes. You have to be able to counter what they’re doing, or you shouldn’t be drawing a salary as an NFL coach.

    3.)Yup.

  76. 76 Iskar36 said at 8:57 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Huge Huge play. Need to capitalize

  77. 77 Corry said at 8:57 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    that’s at least 3 dropped passes tonight.

  124. 124 xeynon said at 9:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Food for thought… has there ever been a C who accounted for a higher percentage of the overall value in an interior OL than Kelce does with this Eagles team? If I had to assign percentages I’d say it’s about Kelce 95%, Barbre 15%, Gardner -10%.

  125. 125 scratcherk said at 9:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    there is some funny math there.

  126. 126 xeynon said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The badness of Andrew Gardner can demolish the laws of mathematics. Demolishing an NFL offense is child’s play in comparison.

    Well we need to prove we can drive the ball. Heavy dose of running and they can’t go full on to our QB, then big plays will happen.

  316. 316 Lewwyn said at 9:20 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Holy crap that drive

  317. 317 GEAGLE said at 9:20 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Funny, I didn’t see Cowboys RBs do that last night.

  318. 318 BC1968 said at 9:20 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    2 Touchdowns from the old Cowboy. There’s a new Eagles in town baby!!!

  319. 319 wallacemnw said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    4 10 yd penalties.

  320. 320 Corry said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    On some really weak calls.

  321. 321 BC1968 said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Leave all the crying bitches in the first half thread.

  322. 322 anon said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    glad we started a new thread

  323. 323 BC1968 said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    LOL that was the key last year. I think it’s part of the game plan.

  324. 324 Iskar36 said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I blame Tommy for the bad start. Clearly set us up with bad juju in the first thread. Needs to do a better job at putting us in a position to win.

  325. 325 BC1968 said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Yep, can’t mess up the Eagles’ juju.

  326. 326 oreofestar said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    woah woah woah

  327. 327 BC1968 said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Someone had the team at 2-4 wins, just a few really bad comments. It was sad to see.

  328. 328 Iskar36 said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That was a fantastic drive. Overcoming several big penalties. Moving the ball down the field. Keeping the defense on their heels. Fantastic to see that.

  329. 329 nicolajNN said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    So that was like a 120 yard drive right?

  330. 330 Dragon_Eagle said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    So did we gain like 150 yards on that drive?

  331. 331 GEAGLE said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Tempo tempo tempo, and our backs are still fresh, ready to steamroll you bitches

  332. 332 teltschikfakeout88 said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Like I said…I was hoping for improvement in the 2nd half….I think we are seeing it…

  333. 333 OregonDucker said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I felt that if I didn’t comment we would score. I will shutup now.

  334. 334 Insomniac said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    lol nope. they started scoring because I started watching 😉

  335. 335 Nelson ALGore said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    please continue with the hot hand

  336. 336 OregonDucker said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    No comment!

  337. 337 Greg Richards said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Then it’s your damn fault they were struggling in the 1st half! You must be punished!

  338. 338 Nelson ALGore said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    no watching the 1st half of all games this year

  339. 339 Insomniac said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    traffic was a beach…and that was in the parking garage ughh

  340. 340 Nelson ALGore said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    good job knew we ‘re due

  341. 341 Corry said at 9:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    THAT drive is what I expected in the first half.

  342. 342 anon said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    now we just need some downfield passing.

  343. 343 Corry said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The defense will loosen up if we keep feasting on them with these dump offs. They’ll have to adjust.

  344. 344 BlindChow said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Without the penalties?

  345. 345 Corry said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That’d be preferred. But honestly, some of those calls were just weak.

  346. 346 teltschikfakeout88 said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The call on kelce was a joke…

  347. 347 Nelson ALGore said at 9:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    kelce with that invisible hold really a vet move

  348. 348 Nelson ALGore said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Glad to get the TD but even happier to see JP back on the field

  349. 349 Jernst said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Times a thousand. He’s second only to Bradford in the can’t lose category.

  350. 350 MattE said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He is a savvy vet he needed a water break.

  351. 351 Lewwyn said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Now I think the Falcons are gonna be tired, tired, tired. And our D just got some much needed rest.

  352. 352 GEAGLE said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ryan the battering Ram Mathews is fresh and ready to run dudes over, I infinitely appologize for all the shit I talked about him these past 5 years

  353. 353 Jernst said at 9:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Sorry guys…I had the wrong shirt on under my jersey. That whole first half was on me. Problem has been fixed. All is right with the world again.

  354. 354 A_T_G said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    We knew it was your fault. We were just trying to be polite. It is about damn time, though.

  355. 355 Flyineagle45 said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    If this was god of war we would be fighting the sisters of fate right now. I feel like every play there’s something we have to overcome

  356. 356 oreofestar said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I did watch that drive, nice I’ve cooled down let’s win this

  357. 357 BC1968 said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Down 3 points that fast. 1 int, 1 defensive stops, 1 short drive 1 long drive. Thank to Matthews, Sproles, Murray, Bradford, O-line playing better. We are fucking rolling!

  358. 358 nathaniel driver said at 9:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Worried about the Pope — any news?

  359. 359 Corry said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  360. 360 nathaniel driver said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    good – I missed that. Thanks!

  361. 361 GEAGLE said at 9:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He is a thug, in a good way, not the fake DEsean way… He was telling the trainer he was fine, but trainer insisted on cuncossion protocol.. He is fine.. BLESSED even…

  362. 362 BlindChow said at 9:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He’s back in.

  363. 363 GEAGLE said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  365. 365 Corry said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  366. 366 botto said at 9:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Damn chip trolled us hard that first half

  367. 367 Insomniac said at 9:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He needed some fodder for the media to write about

  368. 368 nicolajNN said at 9:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I don’t feel like we did anything really different, the ol just started blocking

  369. 369 FairOaks said at 9:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It can also take time for the pace to wear down a defense.

  370. 370 nicolajNN said at 9:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    True

  371. 371 79mr2t said at 9:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    and hold on Kendricks. Kelce was called for less.

  395. 395 Jernst said at 9:32 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    that call on kelce was pathetic, he kept disengaging and punch the guy in the shoulder pads. It was text book blocking.

  396. 396 A_T_G said at 9:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Rolled the dice too many time.

  403. 403 FairOaks said at 9:32 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ugh, you’re right. Rushed four and they got an OL on Kendricks and wrapped him up.

  404. 404 BobSmith77 said at 9:31 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This team has to be bottom 5 since Davis took over on stooping 3 & 10+ situations.

    Kiko looks a step behind the action yet and dear lord Ryans look like he is running with lead weights in his shoes.

  432. 432 BC1968 said at 9:32 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    So you retract the comment or just want to wait till we get deeper in the 4th Q?? LOL

  456. 456 Corry said at 9:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Nah. I have a deep distrust and dislike of Bill Davis. I think he’s often over matched and slow to make adjustments.

    Our secondary still sucks.

  460. 460 Insomniac said at 9:37 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It’s the first week and we’re up against one of the better WR duos in the league..but yea a secondary made up of mostly journeymen DBs what do we expect?

  461. 461 anon said at 9:40 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    one high priced guy that’s gotten beat by a 34yo w/ bad knees

    shit is Roddy that old?

  463. 463 Jernst said at 9:42 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    yea and he just had his tin man knee drained last week. and had elbow surgery and hasn’t played at all in the preseason. Maxwell is not earning is salary tonight.

  464. 464 Jernst said at 9:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Maxwell looks like garbage … I still have hope though, but not because I’ve seen him do anything today that’s reassuring

  465. 465 BobSmith77 said at 9:36 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Need to hold them to a fg here.

    Headsy play by Barwin

    I see what you did there…

  484. 484 SteveH said at 9:38 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Whew, that’s using your head Barwin.

  485. 485 GEAGLE said at 9:38 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Fuckin BARWIN… That guy is a stud

  486. 486 FairOaks said at 9:39 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    If the receiver stopped for the underthrown pass it might have been an easy PI. Of course he would have taken a massive hit.

  487. 487 Iskar36 said at 9:38 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ooooffff, that was way to close.

    K TD we are up by one.

  493. 493 GEAGLE said at 9:39 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Way to hold em… BIG TIME BOYS!?.. Now finish gassing and running this defense over

  494. 494 Greg Richards said at 9:39 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Down by 6. Need a quick TD so that if they score again, we’ll get ball again.

  495. 495 xeynon said at 9:39 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Gonna disagree with you that that was an “excellent coverage play” by Barwin, Johnny. He got beat on the play and didn’t get his head around… a bit more contact or a better thrown pass and that’s either a pass interference penalty or a completion.

  496. 496 Corry said at 9:40 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    the way this officiating crew has been calling ticky tack stuff, we’re lucky it wasn’t a flag.

  497. 497 Jernst said at 9:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    luckily it hit his head before he hit the receiver. Once the ball is tipped, you can make as much contact as you want.

  498. 498 teltschikfakeout88 said at 9:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’d argue with you but your logic makes to much sense…and I am no grudges appologist….

  499. 499 BlindChow said at 9:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    True about coverage, but the pressure forced a bad throw, so you can still credit the defense for the stop.

  500. 500 Dragon_Eagle said at 9:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I would agree with you, but I’m going to take every little break we get right now. Was Deion Sanders level coverage as far as I’m concerned.

  501. 501 Nelson ALGore said at 9:42 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    but it was still the difference between a td and a fg.

  502. 502 GEAGLE said at 9:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Dude, an OLB on a WR? You are asking a bit much… Just the fact we got out of that without the blitz getting home is HUGE… For not turning around he seems to time the dive as well as you could hope

  503. 503 xeynon said at 9:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m not saying Barwin should have been able to cover the guy well. Just that Jon Gruden, who’s paid for astute football commentary, said something really dumb.

  504. 504 nicolajNN said at 9:39 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Barwin’s smile seemed to show that he knew he got a little lucky there

  505. 505 Allen3000 said at 9:40 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Shut your mouth and make a play on defense. SMH at trying to start sh*t with the opposing kicker.

  506. 506 Nelson ALGore said at 9:40 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    But why don’t they coach brawn to get his head around??? lol

  507. 507 BC1968 said at 9:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    No matter what, we’ve recovered, we’re a real team, it took a bit to get going with all the new faces. I feel good about this team still.

  508. 508 BobSmith77 said at 9:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Another game, another night where the Eagles are likely to have to score 27-28 points to win this game.

  509. 509 anon said at 9:42 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    yup

  510. 510 BobSmith77 said at 9:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Davis has varied up the blitzes and brought more pressure from the edge but the Falcons have been hurt by Ryan this half. Some crappy reads and non throws have put the Eagles back into this game.

  511. 511 anon said at 9:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    pass rush starting to register, but we got SUPER lucky on that blitz

  512. 512 Allen3000 said at 9:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Agree, but it’s not crazy to expect our offense to score 27+ a game. Chip is an offense guru so it should be expected.

  513. 513 BobSmith77 said at 9:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Yeah it is. Averaging 28 pts on offense is a very high expectation.

  514. 514 Allen3000 said at 9:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Against one of the worst defensive units in the NFL? I disagree.

    No kickoffs have been kicked short so the other team could recover it. Impressive.

  518. 518 Greg Richards said at 9:42 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Need to move the kickoff back to where it was before so KRs have a chance to make a play.

  519. 519 BC1968 said at 9:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Especially indoors where they can kick field goals if they want to.

  520. 520 A_T_G said at 9:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Never going to happen with the concussion concerns.

    Admit? I think its a repeated shout.

  525. 525 Allen3000 said at 9:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Lol. I was about to say….

  526. 526 Jarock said at 9:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Sorry, heard a ton of “it’s the lack of talent in the secondary” this offseason. All I heard this summer was, “secondary is going to be so much better.”

  527. 527 Insomniac said at 9:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Possibly but I don’t think the assignments are the issue. Maxwell looks like he has more issues that we don’t know.

  528. 528 Jarock said at 9:55 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It’s the position the scheme puts the DB’s in over and over. I’m not saying that Maxwell is elite, but he was extremely solid last season in Seattle’s scheme. Playing for Billy, suddenly it’s torch city.

  529. 529 Flyineagle45 said at 9:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This is that danger zone timewise where if we do score it leaves just the perfect amount of time for Ryan

    If we just give up another long pass, Falcons won’t burn much time either.

  766. 766 GEAGLE said at 10:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I never hear any props for Billy whenever they make a play, but when the 60mil corner gets beat by the 70mil WR! Billy sucks..Yous are funny

  767. 767 Corry said at 10:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Nope, still don’t trust him and definitely don’t like him.

    Sounds like a personal problem

  769. 769 Corry said at 10:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  770. 770 Jernst said at 10:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Maxwell has been beaten by everyone tonight. He better get his shit together and fast.

  771. 771 GEAGLE said at 10:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He has been beaten by Julio and Roddy, who do this every week, when the pass rush don’t get home

  772. 772 Jernst said at 10:46 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Sorry I expect my $66 million CB to make one single play. Just one. Julio, yes, he does this to everyone, Roddy, no, this isn’t 2008, it shouldn’t look that easy for him to get open any time he wants against a CB being paid that much money.

  773. 773 Jarock said at 10:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Billy is more than willing to bring pressure. Sometimes it comes up big, but it also puts the DB’s in a very difficult position consistently. Sorry, not crediting Billy for being Billy.

  774. 774 GEAGLE said at 10:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I don’t think asking Maxwell to line up across from Roddy white is Billy’s fault.. You can’t ask your corner to stop the other teams #2, WTF are we doing?

  775. 775 Jarock said at 10:31 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The problem is every offensive coordinator knows what coverage the Eagles are going to use 90+ percent of the time. On top of that, they are asked to single cover a ton even when the team doesn’t blitz. Tough sledding for any corner.

  776. 776 Allen3000 said at 10:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    They both brought their D- game tonight.

  777. 777 BC1968 said at 10:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  825. 825 Jernst said at 10:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    bradford is the real deal. Matthews dropped a clear first down that hit him square in both hands

    Falcons 6 points in the second half. Dropped int’s, one dropped TD. One dropped 3rd down pass, missed fg etc.

  833. 833 Dragon_Eagle said at 10:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Like last year, I’m putting most of this loss on the coaching staff. Chip and Billy. Different personnel, but they look like exactly the same team.

  834. 834 Avery Greene said at 10:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Billy was terrible tonight

  835. 835 sonofdman said at 10:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Billy wasn’t great. But the offense didn’t show up in the first half and the defense held the Falcons to 6 in the second half.

  836. 836 Insomniac said at 10:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    If getting Bradford means that we’ll throw 52 times in a game then maybe we should have signed more WRs instead of committing 10+ million per year in our RBs.

  837. 837 anon said at 10:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    we should spend more than $500k per guard.

  841. 841 BC1968 said at 10:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    NOt even close, 2nd pick was on receiver, first was on the offensive line. He killed it in the 2nd half.

  842. 842 Jarock said at 10:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Bradford was Bradford. Captain checkdown and made a bad throw under pressure. Sure he was accurate on short passes, also gave us nothing down the field. Bad drop costs us a chance to win, but the first half was brutal. He is who I thought he was.

  843. 843 EaglesFANqq said at 10:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Check down??? They have no deep threat. Everything’s underneath

  844. 844 GEAGLE said at 10:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Did you see Brady throw all game in the Super Bowl short underneath crossers? This is how you Attack seattle/Falcon secondary scheme, and 4 verticals, RB underneath . kicker and the Pope came up short..

  845. 845 Jarock said at 10:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    OL gave the receivers time to get down the field. Bradford took the underneath throw every stinking time. We may not have a Desean style deep threat, but we have multiple guys who can get down the field when given time.

  846. 846 Nelson ALGore said at 10:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    bad throw? went right thru his fucking hands

    still think they looked better than giants and cowboys

  847. 847 Jarock said at 10:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The first pick was an awful throw. Second wasn’t his fault.

  850. 850 GEAGLE said at 10:16 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I hear you, but Bradford completed like 90% in the second half, and we ran like 10 times that didn’t count cuz of holding…. This is on the kicker..PERIOD

  851. 851 79mr2t said at 10:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Parkey definitely has to make that and Bradford was great in the 2nd half but chip should have pushed the run game in the 1st half when we were playing like shit. Could have possibly turned the tide before the half.

  852. 852 GEAGLE said at 10:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I better see a Ornery Fucking team show up and make a Point against Dallas next week..as in, that game better be over by the second quarter. I’m sick.. Bradford was amazing.. I want to blame Chip, but if he can’t ask Cody to hit that kick im a dome then WTF are we doing? How can I put that on Chip, even tho I wanted to hurry up and go for that so bad.
    ..
    Fucking only a 3pt favorite was a fucking curse,.. Fuckin vegas

  853. 853 EaglesFANqq said at 10:16 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The eagles sucked. Chip sucked

  854. 854 Dragon_Eagle said at 10:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Parkey should’ve made that. But Chip and Billy have real issues that put this team in that situation. Did that team look any different than last year? Hardly. Chip needs to rethink his play calling and Billy needs to go.

  855. 855 DarthBanner said at 10:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Deserved to lose. Only showed up for a half and Parkey lost his clutch. Backs against the wall already in week two. Morons.

    Don’t even need to go that far back to see the awful CBs we had. Rowe might be one in the making if he’s getting mentored like this.

  866. 866 McNabbulousness said at 10:16 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    kelly not being decisive on that fourth down was the turning point of the game. parkey needs to make that, but kelly needs to know wtf he’s going to do

  867. 867 McNabbulousness said at 10:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This. Brutally stupid play calling there.

  870. 870 BobSmith77 said at 10:16 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Bradford not to blame. This oline stuck tonight for the most part and yet again billy Davis can’t stop the pass or the big plays.

  871. 871 Allen3000 said at 10:16 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Pathetic showing. Never understood the sky high expectations. Secondary still has glaring holes (although I do think they will be better). Our O-Line has major issues that need corrected asap. Having Bradford drop back 50+ times a game is a disaster. You have the reigning NFL rushing champ paired with two legit RBs and still can’t run the ball? Still refuse to run it on 3rd and short.

    Yes, I’m mad. I’ll be fine in a few days. This team is fundamentally flawed and hopefully they haven’t bought into the hype.

  872. 872 Joe Minx said at 10:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Bradford was getting obliterated most of the game. Poor guy will never hold up under these kinds of conditions. F’ing inexcusable.

  873. 873 DarthBanner said at 10:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  877. 877 BlindChow said at 10:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I hope Chip learns a lesson about going for it on 4th and 1. He got conservative last year too.

  878. 878 Bob Brewer said at 10:20 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It was the right call, just needed to be made sooner. But his hesitation to me means he doesn’t trust Parkey. That’s a bigger issue.

  879. 879 CrackSammich said at 10:20 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Do we blame Parkey? Yea it hurt to miss that but I don’t think that the Falcons will try to run the clock out if they were losing by one. Matt Ryan is great at 2 minute drills and Bryant can hit out from 50ish.

  882. 882 SteveH said at 10:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m not too pissed at Parkey because Chip ran him out there way late, he had almost no time between setup and snap.

  883. 883 Jernst said at 10:42 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    no excuse for chip not have made the decision whether to go or not on a 4th and 1 before he even made the choice to run on 3rd down. Gotta plan for the fact that it might fail and have your mind made up before the play clock is running down.

  884. 884 DarthBanner said at 10:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He’s showing more and more that he isn’t cut out for the job.

  885. 885 Jernst said at 10:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Well that’s just absurd. He’s plenty cut out for the job. He just waffled at a very important moment, that was inexcusable. But, he’s got two seasons worth of evidence that he’s at the very least a well above average head coach.

  886. 886 Sean Stott said at 10:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Eagles lost because:

    1. They didn’t play the first half
    2. Malcolm Jenkins missed 2 INTs
    3. Byron Maxwell struggled or at least was portrayed as struggling
    4. Butterfingers Matthews (I thought it was Cooper)
    5. Parkey.
    6. CK not being aggressive on 4th and very short.

    3 years into Kelly era and pressure on the QB without exotic blitzing is still an issue.

  910. 910 Jarock said at 10:20 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I am so sick of “it’s not Sam’s fault.” I’m not saying it was all him, but he was part of the problem. I’ll repeat Jaws concern and say, he’s got to be willing to stare down the barrel of the gun. Saw a ton of checkdowns and almost nothing down the field. 50+ attempts nets you 336 yards or 6.4 per attempt. That sucks people. That’s what Bradford has been his entire career as a pro.

    #WEOVERPAID

  911. 911 Jernst said at 10:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Bradford was nearly perfect in the second half and lead consecutive 92, 95 and 80 yard drives for TDs and then had a 4th drive where he was again perfect until his running backs tripped before getting through the line, but where he lead the team in position for what should be a nearly automatic lead. And, then, he hit our best WR directly in both his hands for a sure fire first down that was blantantly dropped. Shut up!

  912. 912 BC1968 said at 10:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He couldn’t have played any better in the second half and the int was a ball he threw into his OWN receiver’s hands.They weren’t running the ball, they depended on him in the second half and he led them to 21 points. Jernst you’re 100 percent correct.

  913. 913 Jernst said at 10:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    If Bradford was the problem, I’m the new queen of England. Maxwell couldn’t cover me tonight and I’m a 5’9″ white guy. Our guards suck dick. Bradford got drilled 27 times tonight in the first half and when we finally gave him a bit of protection, yet with no run game, he lead 3 consecutive 92, 95, and 80 yard TD drives. Each of which took just over 2 min. What a joke that people are talking shit on his performance of all things.

  914. 914 BC1968 said at 10:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Completely agree, this town is “Blame the QB crazy” all the time no matter what. Some people find it unbelievable a team can lose and it not be the QB’s fault.

  915. 915 Spooonius said at 12:03 AM on September 15th, 2015:

    i should expect that reaction, but today it really surprises me. I’ll rewatch the game later, but for now I saw of reason for optimism. I didn’t think that they were going to win the Super Bowl tonight. Or lose it either for that matter.

  916. 916 xeynon said at 10:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I think Jarock is overreacting, but Bradford’s inability to throw deep effectively is a legitimate concern. It’s always been a weakness of his and we certainly can’t say this game is reason to forget about it.

  917. 917 BC1968 said at 10:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I thought Bradford has a strong arm. Isn’t that why Foles is gone?

  918. 918 xeynon said at 10:31 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Yeah but throwing deep is about more than arm strength. It’s about anticipation, confidence, aggressiveness, being able to loft the ball correctly, not being too risk averse… those are all traits we know Foles has, Bradford not so much.

  919. 919 Jernst said at 10:31 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The issue has never been his ability to throw deep. He throws a beautiful and accurate deep ball and has many times. Yes he’s had a poor yards per completion numbers which, it’s not an excuse, its a fact, he had a shitty offensive line and no deep threats. But, whatever, I don’t feel like arguing what he did three years ago in St Louis. Nothing about tonight made me concerned about Bradford. In fact, quite the opposite. I was angry they took the ball out of his hands on that 3rd and 4 that we gained 3 yards. He was perfect all second half. Let him keep firing.

  920. 920 Insomniac said at 10:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Just one game man.

  921. 921 BobSmith77 said at 10:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Blitz pickup stunk tonight and the pass protection was shoddy most of the night.

  922. 922 xeynon said at 10:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m not gonna overreact based on one game, but this is a big concern of mine.

    Bradford has always sucked at throwing deep. Not struggled, not been mediocre, sucked. He’s one of the worst deep throwers in the league over the last 20 years. Defenders of the trade made that out to be all the fault of his receivers in St. Louis, but I think tonight is a piece of evidence that’s not necessarily the case. He’s going to have to learn to be more aggressive and decisive if this offense is going to reach its potential.

  923. 923 Joe Minx said at 10:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Need to see the All-22. If there were guys running free downfield I’ll agree. That wasn’t the sense I got watching it live though.

  924. 924 xmbk said at 10:31 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Stats and the eye test say otherwise. We’ll see.

  925. 925 xeynon said at 10:33 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Stats say he’s really bad at it. Both conventional, and advanced.

    The eye test, well.. he does throw a beautiful spiral and has a strong arm. But I don’t see him pull the trigger enough, which I think is part of his problem.

  926. 926 xmbk said at 5:40 AM on September 15th, 2015:

    There are some stats out there that disagree with you. I’ll link when I get a chance to find them again. But I definitely did not see all the open guys that were missed consistently by both qb’s last year, at least not on first watch.

  927. 927 BC1968 said at 10:36 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He got the shit beat out of him and still overcame it and they scored 21 second half points. Not a lot of QB’s could do that. Not sure if guys were open downfield, guess Tommy can analyze that. They didn’t hand the ball off at all though. That’s not fair at all to any QB with a pass rush killing you like that.

  928. 928 Jarock said at 10:55 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Beat the shit out of? He took less hits today than Foles did in any of his games last season. His stare down the receiver and throw it straight to the defense was as bad as any back foot throw Foles made last season too.

  929. 929 Jernst said at 11:05 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    you obviously didn’t watch the same game that I did

  930. 930 Jarock said at 10:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    6.4 per attempt. Stats highlight the concern.

  931. 931 xmbk said at 5:44 AM on September 15th, 2015:

    Funny, when Brady or Manning has second half like that, they are “picking the defense apart” or “taking what the defense is giving”. Crappy start for sure, but the disappointment has led to overreacting to the other extreme.

  932. 932 Joe Minx said at 10:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    You really think Foles would have done any better in this? See pretty much all of his games from last year as evidence, cause this one was basically the exact same shit from this team all over again.

  933. 933 xeynon said at 10:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    For me it’s not necessarily that Foles would’ve done better. It’s that after the trade, everyone overemphasized Foles’ weaknesses and downplayed his strengths, while doing the perfect for Bradford. Bradford is not a perfect quarterback, even leaving his injury issues aside. He’s always been very bad at throwing the deep ball – much worse at it than Foles – and tonight he didn’t show any evidence that’s going to change. Lacking the deep ball in our arsenal will really hold this offense back unless the problem can be fixed.

  934. 934 xmbk said at 10:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    No, everyone did not. As a matter of fact, after the trade most people did the opposite, as polls at the time show.

    And his deep ball is significantly better than Foles.

  935. 935 BC1968 said at 10:33 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I thought that was exactly the reason he took Bradford over Foles. Just because he didn’t throw deep balls doesn’t mean guys were open. He made a few nice, strong sideline throws. Well I can definitely name one that I pointed out that Foles could never make.

  936. 936 Jarock said at 10:53 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    All I’ve heard from the commentators all summer.

    As for his deep ball being better, he doesn’t pull the trigger, so arm strength means nothing.

  937. 937 xmbk said at 5:42 AM on September 15th, 2015:

    Didn’t see all the open deep shots that were overlooked last year, and were blatantly obvious even during live broadcast. Did you see some?

  938. 938 xeynon said at 10:58 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    People talked themselves into Bradford awfully quickly then.

    Foles’ stats (both conventional and advanced) suggest that he is a much more effective deep thrower than Bradford, over pretty large sample sizes for both players. It ain’t always pretty, but he’s willing to let it fly and allow his receivers to make a play, and occasionally he does throw an absolutely perfect deep ball (watch the throw he made to Austin in overtime yesterday – lofted into his hands between two receivers, just a thing of beauty). Bradford has a strong arm and throws a tight spiral. But he has never been effective throwing deep. The numbers are what they are.

  939. 939 xmbk said at 5:50 AM on September 15th, 2015:

    Don’t agree with what you keep saying about the stats. He had a magical season for sure. But holding the ball too long and throwing jump balls does not make you an effective deep ball thrower, just a desperate one. We’ll know more in a few games, but Bradford still looks like an upgrade to me. If the first half was an anomaly, he’s a significant upgrade.

    I like Foles, but watched the Rams game yesterday, and he is not a fit for our offense.

  940. 940 BC1968 said at 10:31 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ertz said that Bradford has a stronger arm than Luck, not sure about that, but not sure about where you’re getting that Bradford has a weak arm.

  941. 941 Jarock said at 10:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    For the record, never said his arm was weak. He’s not willing to throw down the field. He takes the checkdown almost every time. Arm strength is fine, willingness to let it go isn’t.

  942. 942 Jernst said at 10:51 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    None of us can comment on whether or not he missed downfield opportunities because none of us were watching the all 22 film. All we can see is what he did. Which was display pinpoint accuracy, play a nearly perfect 2nd half and single handedly make this offense look unstoppable as it drove up and down the length of the field 3 and half times to pull us back from the edge of defeat, while getting no help from his running game, no help from his WRs and under a well above average amount of pressure, if that’s Bradford’s “weakness”, sign me the F up!

  943. 943 Spooonius said at 11:57 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That’s what I saw. I could understand the hate if you switch the first and second half, but things started to click. Bradford took what was available and consistently moved the chains. They were much better on both sides of the ball in the second half. Losing sucks, but let’s not get crazy.

  944. 944 xeynon said at 10:55 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Where did I say he has a weak arm? I said he’s bad at throwing the deep ball. Those are two different things.

  945. 945 79mr2t said at 10:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It’s going to be a fun season, but this team is not a juggernaut and has some real weaknesses. We’d better get used to the idea that we’re going to lose our share of games this year.

    This weekend went about as bad as I can imagine. Cowboys play like garbage and still manage to win as the Midgets give away the game. Meanwhile Philly plays like Philly played most of last season. New personnel, same old issues. Lose on a heartbreaker, but didn’t look good most of the game.

    Personally I would like to think most of the OMG 10 Superbowls!!! was a bit tongue in cheek.

    This team has a 7 win floor and a 12 game ceiling.

    But cut Parkey, Bradford is shit, Maxwell is trash, Billy Davis is a high school level coordinator, our OL is shit, blah blah blah.

    There is one trusim in football: You’re never as good as you think you are, and you’re never as bad as you think you are.

  967. 967 BC1968 said at 10:38 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Sanity from an Eagles’ fan after one game? You are truly off your rocker sir!!!!!!!!

  968. 968 Jarock said at 10:38 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    1. Parkey missed a kick. Tough break, but he’s been nicked so I’ll excuse it for now.
    2. Bradford played exactly like he did in St. Louis highlighting what those of us who questioned the trade have been saying since the beginning.
    3. Billy’s issues haven’t changed since his first season.
    4. OL was actually decent. Struggled a bit in the running game but gave Bradford plenty of time for 90+ percent of his 50 dropbacks.
    5. Agree with the sentiment, but concerned that the issues that the personnel changes were supposed to fix reared their ugly heads again today.

  969. 969 BC1968 said at 10:39 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    OL sucked the whole first half. When they finally played well, Bradford was nearly perfect and led them to 21 points in the 2nd half.

  970. 970 Joe Minx said at 10:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    OL was anything but decent. Worst OL performance I’ve seen in the Chip era, including last year when we were starting MOLK, Tobin, & Gardner. Unbelievably shameful.

  971. 971 Jarock said at 10:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Just rewatched the SF game the other day. Going to have to disagree with you. That OL was unbelievably inept that day. Zero sacks but no time either. I’ll rewatch this game sometime this week, but Bradford had time on the majority of this dropbacks. Sure he got rushed on a few blitzes and twists, but that’s going to happen. Was more disturbed by the lack of production in the running game, especially on our bread and butter play, the inside zone.

  972. 972 D3FB said at 11:13 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    2. That’s literally what the game plan called for. Several players said after the game that the Falcons were playing alot of zone so the coaches wanted to attack it with quick throws and let the guys get yards. You’re just finding reasons to be mad at him.

    3. No one seems to be able to cleanly explain what they want Billy to do better. Apparently since he cant simulataneously bracket a reciever, load the box versus the run, and blitz, people get mad. We came out and played alot of zone early, and they were painfully efficent. Then we went to a more conservative man and we couldn’t get pressure so they killed us on 20 yard drag routes. So we moved to a blitzing iso man coverage, and Julio Jones makes a couple nice plays. The concept that Billy doesn’t adjust somehow is wrong. They gave up 2 TDs. One of those on a very short field.

    We lost the game due to sloppy play, penalties, abandoning the run game. Things just kind of snowballed. It’s not some great unfixable issue. We aren’t the Raiders.

  973. 973 Jernst said at 11:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    best post in this thread…by far. People are looking to blame whatever individual boogie men they personally dislike to rationalize the loss.

    Really, we passed a lot in a game where we were down by tons of points, the defense couldn’t stop the opposing teams offense and our running game was going backwards?? No way! What an idiot Chip is for adjusting at half to a pass heavy attack that scored 3 consecutive TDs and got us back in a game we had every reason to lose.

    The only time we get any pressure is when Billy creates it with his scheme. We have terrible talent at CB it seems, and it’s Billy’s fault that no matter what coverage he calls we get beat.

    I just don’t get it

  974. 974 Spooonius said at 11:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    well said, well said.

  975. 975 Jarock said at 11:52 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    If our game plan is for Bradford to play like he did in St. Louis and check down everything, I have no idea why we traded for him. He was mediocre at best in St. Louis and his backups consistently put up similar numbers. I said at the time of the trade that we overpaid and now that we finally have real live action, he played exactly like he did in St. Louis. 6.4 yards per attempt is poor by any standard.

    I want Billy gone. His defensive moves are all reactions to what the other team does. Yes, he’s willing to change up, but his overall scheme stay the same and constantly puts his corners on the island even when they aren’t bringing pressure. He constantly fails to scheme to take away, or even limit, the other teams best player.

    I’ll agree that sloppy play hurt, but as to abandoning the run, we got nothing out of it early and were in a hole by the 2nd quarter. I’m merely pointing out that I saw the same exact thing a lot last season. That team went 10-6, but had major issues on defense and weren’t able to move the ball on offense against top defenses. Kelly made major changes in response, but the same things cropped up this game.

    I hope the Eagles started to read and believe their own press and will bounce back with a focused effort next week. Not saying that the problems are unfixable, but I wonder if the coaching staff is capable of correcting them.

  976. 976 scratcherk said at 10:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It was just a very sloppy game. And we still almost won. I’m not throwing in the towel on the season just yet.

  979. 979 Joe Minx said at 10:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    OL sucked worse than any time I’ve seen them under Chip. Just like last year, basically had no choice but to throw every play.

  980. 980 BlindChow said at 10:33 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Last year there were games when we were averaging 5 yards per carry and we still wouldn’t run it. Kelly might have the same problem Reid had. Is there a virus in Philly?

  981. 981 Jernst said at 10:38 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    exactly. We were down by 17 at the half, our defense couldn’t stop anything, and our running backs were doing nothing. Complain about play calls all you want, those play calls got us back into the game and gave us every chance to win. The players sucking on the field and personnel moves/lack of personnel moves on the offensive line, were the problems.

  994. 994 BobSmith77 said at 10:31 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The o-line sucked tonight in the 1st half and they didn’t do anything well. Made some adjustments and picked up the blitz/edge pressure a bit more but Bradford was also throwing 1st/2nd read a lot more in the 2nd half.

    Gardner stunk tonight, got called for a holding penalty, and the guards were an issue all night.

    Chip lost all confidence in the OL to run especially anything inside tonight. Kelce also got little push and struggled on the indie runnings plays tonight.

    They’re not going to press. It would probably make a difference, but Billy D. apparently doesn’t like that. They didn’t press last year, they didn’t press during the preseason, and they won’t start pressing now.

    The Falcons scheme really well when the Eagles blitzed in the first half with a lot of max protection and figuring out when the Eagles were in zone and taking advantage.

    They went right at Maxwell from the get go though with Jones on him especially in man and when they had max protection

  1035. 1035 Avery Greene said at 10:49 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    After going 15-of-27 for 117 yards and one pick in the first half,
    Bradford threw just four incompletions in the second half after coach
    Chip Kelly put the pedal to the metal and upped the tempo of the
    offense, putting everything on his quarterback’s shoulders.

  1041. 1041 Insomniac said at 10:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He looked good but he paid for some throws. You have 2 good RBs that you refuse to use. Is Chip trying to make a statement about Bradford after how Foles managed to beat Seattle?

  1042. 1042 Jarock said at 11:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I think Foles and St. Louis made the statement.

  1043. 1043 Jernst said at 11:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    refused to use? What other option do you have when Demarco has 4 rushes for negative 4 yards and Matthews has 4 rushes for zero yards in the first quarter and you’re down by 17 at the half. Yes we passed an absurd amount, but thats because we fell so far behind early and couldnt stop the Falcons offense in the first half and our run game was doing nothing. Switching to an absurdly pass happy offense in the second half was the absolute right move. It got us to score three consecutive TD and should have won us the game.

  1044. 1044 Insomniac said at 10:39 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That wasn’t a highpointing play. I have no idea what insomniac is talking about. Matthews had to jump, but he wasn’t high pointing a rainbow bomb, he was catching an ever so slightly high frozen rope that he had to hop for.

  1063. 1063 Jarock said at 10:59 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Running game was horrible all night. Won’t argue that. Even when we started to make some hay on the sweeps, refs flagged everything that even resembled a hold. There were some legit penalties, but there were a ton of phantom calls too. When your running game is more about speed and spacing and less about ‘move that guy’, it will limit your effectiveness.

  1064. 1064 Jernst said at 11:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Exactly, all the more reason to be impressed with Bradford. That one 95 yard drive that relied totally on his passing was really a 135 yard drive when you account for the 4 holding penalties that all killed huge first down plays, that he continued to over come, and that 135 yard drive took 2min and 36 seconds off the clock in a game where we were down by 17 and needed to pass to have any hope of coming back.

  1065. 1065 Jarock said at 11:32 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Drop back, picks teeth, checks down. Rinse and repeat. Hit once on the drive that they took the lead 24 – 23 (just rewatched). Rewatched the drive where they made it a 3pt game (that was the 135 yard drive btw) and Bradford was touched once the entire time. He held the ball on that throw too and still checked down. When we were down by 17, Thurmond’s pick setup the offense from in close and we scored on the sweep.

    Worst News is that our security team needs to be entirely refitted for letting Bradley Fletcher sneak into the stadium and play with a Byron Maxwell jersey on. Maxwell meanwhile has been spotted in the Caribbean spending his gigantic contract on pina coladas.

    Oh crappp…..The Tebow factor with the Pope coming to town? You’re right, we’re done.

  1081. 1081 BobSmith77 said at 10:51 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Good point about tonight – Falcons special teams including their coverage units outplayed the Eagles.

  1082. 1082 Joe Minx said at 10:52 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Chris Brown recaps the positives from this game for the Eagles:

    1. Sproles

    That’s it.

  1083. 1083 Avery Greene said at 10:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    So we got outcoached. They didn’t seem prepared for the game, and got outplayed in the 1st half. What changes Game 2?

  1084. 1084 BobSmith77 said at 10:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Super set of over reactions. Eagles win next week and they’re fine.

    All of the people who bought into the 15 preseason passes by Bradford came crashing back to reality.

    Defense to me has been the most maddening part of this team to watch since Kelly arrived and I saw no different tonight. Eagles simply are going to have to score 28+ pts to win against a good team which is freaking ridiculous for the 3rd straight year.

  1085. 1085 BC1968 said at 10:55 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Absolutely.

  1086. 1086 Joe Minx said at 10:57 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I don’t know that it’s the loss people are getting over emotional about so much as it is the same ish from last year looks like it hasn’t gone away.

  1087. 1087 BC1968 said at 10:59 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    What has me angry that’s not an overreaction is the fact that they didn’t do enough in preseason together with the new guys. They needed more plays to gel together, get shit together. I think that they lost a half of football, and ultimately a game by not doing that. Having said that, I agree with Bob that they win next week.

  1088. 1088 anon said at 11:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    falcons are NOT a good team. Cowboys are WAY better, though luckily no dez. Hopefully murray breaks off a big game.

  1089. 1089 Jernst said at 11:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It really isn’t the same at all. The QB play was outstanding, instead of infuriating. Nearly every pass was perfectly accurate and on the money instead of watching wide open WRs be overthrown all game long. The starting guards suck this year. So that’s new. Last year our backups sucked and our starters were injured. We just did nothing to fix our lack of depth, we just released the two good players and let the shitty back ups become the starters. CBs are just as bad….that’s actually the same.

  1090. 1090 Corry said at 10:56 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Seeing some replays from the run game, Andrew Gardner does a whole lot of just kind of standing there watching the running back get tackled.

  1091. 1091 anon said at 10:57 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    “he’s consistent, he’s always where he should be”.

  1092. 1092 Corry said at 10:58 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I guess they’ll work on him using his hands and doing something next year?

  1093. 1093 BobSmith77 said at 11:03 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He stunk tonight and the Eagles got outmuscled and outhustled on the interior including Kelce.

    Kelce is really valuable to this scheme and what they try to do but he gets outmuscled way too often.

  1094. 1094 Jernst said at 11:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I hate Andrew Gardner. The guard position is going to seriously hinder this offense. Should have just given Mathis the cold shoulder during his yearly offseason request for more money and have him play at a probowl level this year like we did last year.

  1095. 1095 CrackSammich said at 10:57 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I don’t mind Maragos being on the filed as much as I do Jenkins being the slot guy instead of Thurmond.

  1096. 1096 anon said at 10:58 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    jenkins would be better if he could catch. he had 3 pbus today

  1097. 1097 CrackSammich said at 10:59 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I just imagine he would have been better helping with Julio over the top. I’ll wait for the All 22’s there.

  1098. 1098 Corry said at 10:59 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Maxwell lead the team in “desperately running after the receiver after the catch”.

  1099. 1099 Joe Minx said at 11:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Internet roasting Maxwell almost as much as Julio. Roto called him a wanna-be No. 1 corner.

  1100. 1100 Avery Greene said at 10:58 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Maragos didn’t impress me at all. Thought he was a step behind quite a bit. That 5th DB spot really is an issue.

  1101. 1101 BobSmith77 said at 10:59 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Jenkins to me is the most overrated player on this defense. For all of the props he gets off the field, you would think he was one of the better safeties in the league. He is average with stone hands and gets beat too often on deep plays since he doesn’t have the speed to get over.

  1102. 1102 anon said at 11:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    tha’ts b/c everyone else is terrible almost to a T.

  1103. 1103 BobSmith77 said at 11:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Too early to say that yet but yeah there is a lot of mediocrity out there and that was even before Boykin got traded/injury they have had.

    Desperately need Rowe to meaningfully contribute this year and can’t afford for him to be a Smith III this year.

  1104. 1104 anon said at 11:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    hard for me to see him getting on the field the way he was getting beat by 3rd stringers and we have crazy WRs on this schedule

  1105. 1105 Joe Minx said at 11:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Seriously what was that? Is that going to be a regular thing? Cause lol if it is.

  1106. 1106 Media Mike said at 11:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It’s BIlly Davis not knowing what he’s doing.

  1107. 1107 Joe Minx said at 11:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Makes sense.

  1108. 1108 Corry said at 11:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ok, I’m done being angry, but now I want to know where the plays broke down and who broke them down. I hope everyone’s ALL-22 breakdowns go up fast.

  1109. 1109 Spooonius said at 11:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    So…. I’m actually encouraged by this game. Hated losing, but when that offense gets in gear, watch out. I didn’t see anything that can’t be fixed. The secondary is suspect, but they’re incrementally better than last year. They faced the best receiver in the game and next week maybe the second best. At least that’s what i’m telling myself.

  1110. 1110 Joe Minx said at 11:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    No Dez next week.

  1111. 1111 anon said at 11:03 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I didn’t see anything that can’t be fixed. The secondary is suspect

  1112. 1112 BobSmith77 said at 11:05 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    More consistent pass rush would help otherwise they are going to give up their share of big plays and yardage again.

  1113. 1113 DarthBanner said at 11:06 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Looked like the same team that pissed away a playoff spot last year. Arrogant, out coached, and only showing up in spots.

  1114. 1114 HawaiianEagle said at 11:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Dez out…

  1115. 1115 Avery Greene said at 11:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Can we stop the Boykin talk. He didn’t get a snap when the Steelers secondary was getting torched on Thursday. The issues were schematic, not talent.

  1116. 1116 Media Mike said at 11:05 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I am still livid over that phantom illegal contact penalty on Kiko.

  1117. 1117 Avery Greene said at 11:06 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Or the lack of calls on our side. Jordan had a helmet to helmet from a defender, Logan/Cox got held a few times – I felt like it was just a bad day all around.

  1118. 1118 anon said at 11:07 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    that’s what happens when you are SB crowned before the season starts and you’re playing on the road.

  1119. 1119 Joe Minx said at 11:06 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Horribly ridiculous. When you don’t impede the progress of the receiver there shouldn’t be any license to call that.

  1120. 1120 SteveH said at 11:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That… wasn’t really phantom dude. He hooked his arm and turned him. It wasn’t the most flagrant penalty ever but it existed. It just came at a really shitty time for us.

  1121. 1121 anon said at 11:06 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He took wanna-be No. 1 corner Byron Maxwell to the woodshed, beating
    him on his second score and later roasting him for a 44-yard gain down
    the right side, pretty much having his way with him anytime Maxwell was
    lined up across from Jones.

  1122. 1122 BobSmith77 said at 11:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Maxwell looked shell-shocked on the 2nd half when they zoomed in on him after the Jones bomb where Jones simply just ran right past him.

  1123. 1123 anon said at 11:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    doesn’t have earl thomas back there making him look good.

  1124. 1124 BobSmith77 said at 11:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Nope only Jenkins who didn’t bite but was simply too slow to get over to make a play on the ball.

  1125. 1125 Avery Greene said at 11:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The first half, I think the secondary was biting on the cheese.

  1126. 1126 BobSmith77 said at 11:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Yeah. It was like the Ghost of Nate Allen was back there.

  1127. 1127 Spooonius said at 11:16 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Most definitely

  1128. 1128 anon said at 11:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    bulletin board material.

  1129. 1129 Avery Greene said at 11:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Julio takes a lot of corners to the woodshed. I don’t think any one corner can stick him. That goes on Billy D for leaving him on an island all game.

    I’m not ready to say Maxwell is a bust because Julio took him to school. They moved him too much IMO. They need to figure out that 5th DB, because Maragos isn’t working. They should have doubled Julio. So now, they realize Maxwell isn’t shadowing a receiver and they should double the elite receivers.

  1130. 1130 anon said at 11:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    yeah

    Julio
    Dez
    ODB
    Djax
    bmarsh, etc. etc. going to be a long year for him

  1131. 1131 Avery Greene said at 11:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m not worried about Djax. The rest of them have complete games.

  1132. 1132 Flyineagle45 said at 11:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    You Dan Quinn aka Dairy Queen is a sweet coach for sure. The falcons will be relevant again this year. Chips gambles were terrible just pay revis you turd.

  1133. 1133 Joe Minx said at 11:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Yeah Revis was never coming here. They need to actually find some real damn talent at that position & develop it.

  1134. 1134 BobSmith77 said at 11:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Nope and they can’t afford for Rowe to be a spectator all year this year.

  1135. 1135 BobSmith77 said at 11:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I say the guy I thought was the worst out their on offense was Gardner and on defense Maxwell although Ryans was a close 2nd. Ryans looked like he was running through molasses tonight.

  1136. 1136 anon said at 11:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    he probably needs more time, but he could be done

  1137. 1137 BobSmith77 said at 11:12 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    One move this offseason I thought was just really bad. Yeah he may be a leader and all but after they picked up Alonso it didn’t make much sense.

  1138. 1138 Avery Greene said at 11:13 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I buy the depth issue. I just don’t think he should be on the field as much tho.

  1139. 1139 anon said at 11:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    probably needed him to get the D settled down, but agree brad jones might be better at this point.

  1140. 1140 Avery Greene said at 11:12 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Yeah, all our ILBs are working off rust. I still think Ryans is a 3rd OLB on this team at best.

  1141. 1141 BobSmith77 said at 11:13 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Being charitable tonight. He looked like a guy who was 2 steps behind on everything and he wasn’t the swiftest guy last year.

  1142. 1142 Avery Greene said at 11:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I agree. I am being charitable because he’s a very smart LB. He can’t move as fast, and he’s usually good on diagnosing plays. But like Peyton, his time is winding down. I hate to see a solid player fall off the cliff.

    Here’s an admission. I’m a homer and I have favorites. He’s one of them, and it’s hard to let go.

  1143. 1143 Jernst said at 11:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ryans is done. That should be expected. He’s 31 years old only 9 months removed from his second achilles rupture and he had little speed to spare to begin with. Maxwell looked like hot garbage. Every season, every player is going to have a game that’s his worst game of the season, let’s just hope maxwell had his in game one and this is as bad as it gets. He looked painfully slow though.

  1144. 1144 shah8 said at 11:13 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This Vikings-49’ers game is one of the worst… Still 0-0, and not from awesome defense. Even the refs are blind…

  1145. 1145 Joe Minx said at 11:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This is by no means meant to be any kind of excuse for this crap tonight, but I hate when the Eagles play on MNF now.

  1146. 1146 BobSmith77 said at 11:16 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    How long does Davis double-down, put Maxwell 1-on-1 in man vs the best WR, and not play press?

    ‘If I just keep hitting on 13 and 14 things are bound to turn around’

  1147. 1147 Avery Greene said at 11:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    My complaint all night more than anything. It’s like giving Atlanta free yards.

  1148. 1148 D3FB said at 11:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Both the Maxwell bombs they were playing press, Maxwell just missed his jam.

  1149. 1149 SteveH said at 11:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Hey D3FB… We still on for 4 weeks from now?

  1150. 1150 D3FB said at 11:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I mean I saw what I needed to see in the second half. But if we’re 0-4, holla at ya boy.

  1151. 1151 BobSmith77 said at 11:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Curious to see the blitz numbers and a breakdown on Ryan’s success especially when the Eagles sent 5 or 6. Only 1 sack tonight and didn’t seem to be that many pressures or hurries either.

  1152. 1152 anon said at 11:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    were saying that falcons kept 6-7-8 guys to block and often had only 2 receivers and then we only rushed 4 a lot, but couldn’t cover 3 guys w/ 8 people
