so we’ve had 2 good quarters. Now let’s have 3.
Tobin in
was wondering. unfortunate
Oy. We can’t afford much more loss there.
Not good.
flag all day baby
whew! Thought that might go against us for a push.
holding hands
Ref’s clearly aren’t Jets fans. Tough calls. Right call, but still, tough.
Brandon Marshall and John Lynch must not have seen the Ronnie Brown play.
All day to throw and still only 10/20? Yuck.
defensive hold
was hoping
Jason Peters and Tobin both beaten.
maybe peters should put hte 25 lbs back on
nice way to kill a drive
When do we run a play where Bradford flips it to the RB and he runs on the same side where he starts?
Cpt.Checkdown needs to throw the damn ball away if there’s nothing there.
Great job Fletcher cox!
‘m not sure Ivory does better with Fletcher Cox just standing there waiting for the runner…
Putting a speedster on Maxwell? Oh no..
HOW THE FUCK IS THAT INCOMPLETE
oh like that.
Yeah, it was a blocked pass… about six inches into the pass.
Get off the field
Need a stop here on third down
third and long. i remember you ol friend.
great coverage by rowe
Eric Rowe!
Rowe sighting
Eric Rowe!
Nice play Rowe.
Rowe with good coverage and PBU.
Textbook.
Underthrown ball by Fitzgerald. Rowe just happened to literally have his head in place.
It was turned and the hands were coming up. He was in good position. Was potentially interceptable, but happy with the PBU.
Smith had to slow down.
Still fairly well played. Underthrow bailed Rowe out a bit, but he was in fairly good position and did the one thing we begged for all last season. He got his head around 🙂
Don’t be a dick, that was good coverage and he had his head around. Nice play
Uh no.
The important thing was that he was in the neighborhood as opposed to being in a different zip code as he was in the pre season.
So true
is it a good thing that all these people are flat out surprised that chevy makes good cars? not sure if i’d be advertising that if i was chevy
Yeah, the Sam Adams Boston Lager adds are basically the same. Hipsters being surprised at Sam Adams?
Yes.
Do you think Kelly was so high on Rowe in the draft because he heard there are Ducks in a Rowe?
Take your upvote you dirty animal.
Going for the least popular poster of the day award, I see.
what was that
Went with the same play call 2 times in a row. Shockingly, the jets were waiting for it.
Here’s peters gamely injury
Field vision not good from Bradford.
Enough with Miles Austin
there wasn’t even an attempt to get the ball
austin could not be more worthless. stop playing him
Can we not play Austin anymore?
I hate him
no more rejects from NFC East teams please.
He really should have 2 TDs. Bradford overthrew him in the end zone and he ran a slant earlier in the game that if Bradord led him and didn’t throw so low he would have raced into the end zone.
Block in the back
they don’t want to throw flags today
Good… let them play instead of throwing flags at every questionable call. It ruins football when that is done.
Also, why 3 pass plays in a row?
cuz running the ball is too hard for Chip
I know our receivers aren’t doing him many favors, but I’m just not impressed with Bradford. Third and long or any blitz and he has no faith that he’s not going to get hit. You know the ball’s coming out immediately and teams are sitting on the short patterns.
Julio Jones doin work
do more
So, in order to drive home the importance of doing better on first and second down, Kelly is calling throws to Austin on third down? Brilliant.
Mikes Austin is awful
I believe Cooper is paying part of Austin’s salary. Keeping us from focusing our hate on Coop.
Fitzpatrick got killed on that hand off.
How did the jets get an 8th point?
When is the last time the Eagles could do a hard count?
Austin should sit Agholors been open Sam B with off throws
Carroll nice.
Nice play but where is the safety
Little handsy there, but good no call.
Credit where credit is due. Our teams sucks. Has regressed in many ways. But the defensive backfield is better.
Not quite as scared to see teh long ball. unless its going to maxwell…
Moderately. Of course we were incredibly horrible last season, so any improvement is great.
Bleh that QB sneak tho
wheres the OL hold tehre
BEAUTIFUL!
Big Play!!!!!
woah! Eric Rowe!
That one okay insomniac?
Now, THAT was a great play by Rowe.
nice hi five marshall FUCK YOU
this. this so much.
Like I was saying…
Death Rowe is a surprise!
Thank god for noodle arm Fitzpatrick
no way !
it seems we’ve flipped our offensive incompetence halves
Are you kidding me
two dropped TDs.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
Is the announcer really talking about how odd it is that a rookie corner didn’t see much playing time until the third game of his career?
I thought he was saying it’s odd he’s making plays already after being slowly eased in
They have ripped on us all game even when the score was 24-0
Really feels like I’m watching a pre-season game with Jets announcers at times. That’s what happens when an 0-2 team faces a 2-0 one 😛
The whole team needs to spend the next week with the JUGS machine.
Sooo many TDs left on the field of play.
Maybe the Ram fans are right, Bradford might spin the ball too hard and makes it harder to catch?
Uh no
What are Rams fans?
Lol
People who live in LA?
Glad we got off the field quickly. Our defense was getting bored sitting on the sideline so long.
manos de piedra
Jenkins may have just knocked Kerley straight
Drops are killing me
Killing the offense too.
seems bradford can get it down the field.
just not in the receivers hands apparently
Well, they bounce off their hands…
He certainly can… but it would be nice if receivers could actually make the reception when it happens. There were at least four drops on deep passes last week.
Maragos out today. Eagles’ players dropping like flies.
I’m having dream team flashbacks right now. Missed TDs convincing us that we’re one or two plays away from being undefeated.
not sure anyone is thinking htat.
I might be jumping the gun on that.
It’s like last Sunday was years ago
Great tackling continues today.
Gang tackling and breaking down properly.
The Jets put in a lot of work to get 0 yards.
Brandon Bair looking like JJ Swatt with these batted down passes
time to put the nail in the coffin
And this week, let’s make it their coffin!
OT but the colts are a hot steaming mess
big ben out w/ a knee.
Ravens too…
But Ike Reese said their going to be super bowl champs?
Oh yeah, forget what I said
Blame Billy Davis for this stout defense, well prepared to sniff out all their BS
I kill Davis a lot, but they’r having a good game today. The only complaint I have is the 3 man rush at the end of the half.
Two-minute defense in general is horrible. Been very good otherwise. I want Davis fired too 🙂
Defense has been good today other than the prevent at the end of the first half. Jets do not have a great offense but the D has still been very good.
did it look like graham didn’t want to high five maxwell lol
Jason peters looked like he was running a post route
Happy for Rowe. Has stepped up big twice now, and it’s against a smaller speedy guy who I thought he would have problems with. Granted Smith’s route isn’t hard to guess.
Eagles missing Gardner. Go figure.
great series
Sam could have walked for a 1st down that play.
Merrill ‘This offense had some moments in the first half but they have just gone to sleep this quarter.”
Pretty apt.
Jenkins punt coverage demon
Let’s see Fitzpatrick air it out and get another INT.
Corners are playing waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off.
call it guys
Thurman PBU on…Carroll?
Damn there was the INT I was hoping for with Fitzpatrick throwing into double coverage.
Horrible hands. Horrible drop.
Gailey going deep repeatedly on Carroll today. I don’t get that.
Gailey’s like, “He couldn’t beat out Fletcher last year! Let’s attack him!”
Put Marshall all day one-on-day on Maxwell in that soft zone.
That was NOT on Maxwell. He’s been bad this season, but that was actually a good play. Just a better catch.
I don’t understand those words in that order.
Whatever happens with Jets here on this drive, Eagles have to have a productive drive when they get the ball back
This rinky-dink Jets’ offense isn’t scoring 20 pts this quarter. They need a special teams TD or a pick 6.
Sadly, I’ll be surprised if we don’t give them at least one cheap turnover. No deep threats and the DB’s have been getting their hands on a lot of passes already.
So the Cowgirls might lose..
Eagles desperately need a Falcons win . . .
Ok, so we had 2 good quarters and then 1 bad quarter….but at least wasn’t mind-blowing terrible like last week, right?
Game is not over.
it’s progress but still not playing well
Dumb penalty
doesn’t bother me, they haven’t called much all day
maxwell should individually pay for every eagles fans sunday ticket
Obvious hold.
Falcons up!
i like the way our safeties are playing. Really good on run fits.
Dammit Graham.
Great Coverage!
Need to hold them out of the end zone here.
that would be preferable. no stupid three man rushes.
Falcon’s about to go 3-0 against the NFC East.
NFC East :: Not good.
Eagles defense looks a little tired here.
GODDAMMIT IT’S RYAN FUCKING FITZPATRICK!!!!!
keep that clock running!
Proof that even Sam SHOULD be able to run the occasional Inside Zone Read.
right back in the game
And the Eagles continue their trend of one good half, one bad half. Where’s the whiskey?
Picking on Viggers especially in the slot. Oh Boykin
That’s a tough route to defend….Boykin isn’t solving that
Biggers was expecting help to the inside and Jenkins came down on Marshall.
which was good, cos Marshall looked pretty open to me..
yeah I’m not sure that isn’t a touchdown anyways.
this would be a good time to get a first down or two
The offense MUST put together a drive. Can’t put the D back out there with a 3 and out.
Well, at least the defense will have 3 plays of rest before having to go right back out there…
Crisis of confidence
Come’on Captain Checkdown!
Jets’ crowd back into the game.
Maybe attempt a throw longer than 6 yards
Maybe a receiver could get open more than 10 yards down the field . . . oh and even better, actually catch it. Ugh. Bad QB play, bad receiver play, bad OL play . . . has anything on offense really been good all season?
wheel route FTW?
Only if our RBs took that 6 minute drive to go find their hands.
rbs can’t catch on that route
Put the other Mathews in the backfield to run it.
Haven’t heard Celek name all day
Remember, he missed that block? And that other block?
Matthews is faster than Murray on that stretch play.
comon, close this out! dallas is folding up.
good running
Where was this rushing attack before?
i will take back everything bad i said about hte offense if they can run the ball in crunch time
Johnson did a really nice job on those 2 last plays. Go right again.
Matthews closing in on 100.
are you kidding me
Ugh.
ugh
f@@@CCKKK!!!
FG that drive caps it.
And there’s the cheap turnover. **sigh**
Not a pick 6? Silver lining?
Tarnished, but yeah.
Oh shit
Didn’t protect the ball at all.
That was honestly just a great play by harris
Thank goodness. We were in danger of winning easily.
Go deep here
Good chance we lose this game right here. TD, 3 and out, TD.
make a tackle u fucking hack
Ole!
This wouldn’t be the Eagles if everything was so easy
Defense is sucking eggs and on there heel. I would target Viggers every chance I could get.
YES DEFENSE!
Thank you Jordan Hicks
Nice catch
Eagles should be up 38-14 if we could catch the ball.
Lol. We tried to pass defend ourselves again. Fail
HICKS YOU STUD
Hicks and Rowe have really shown up today. Eagles desperately needed it too.
They made the plays but Fitzpatrick did them some favors. A nice showing from those two since they haven’t looked all that good when they were on the field.
Rowe hasn’t looked great, but Hicks has looked pretty good.
Interception! Hicks!
Woot woot
Hicks is always around the ball. Playmaker
bair swatting all day long
Played well too and been active up front.
gettin’ those bair paws in the air
My negativism pays off!!!
Brandon Bair doesn’t want to be inactive anymore.
With the way he’s playing? Chip would be a madman to do it.
Watching this game, is there really that much difference between Sam Bradford and Ryan Fitzpatrick? Guess, Fitz has had a worse day, but not by much.
These rookies tho…
I love this fuckin rookie
Praise the Lord and pass the whisky. Rookies rule in this game.
Hicks is actually looking worth the draft pick. Credit Kelly for one good pick there, even if it is at a position we’re supposed to have depth at.
Remember when we all hated the Hicks pick?
Seemed like a WTF at the time
Brandon Bair is our 3rd CB.
I had Fitzpatrick with at least 1 INT with 35+ passes. Now 2. Awesome.
Boys down big now. Good. L helps a lot.
Holy shit, a QB and a coach that know how to work the clock? Am I dreaming
Clearly not the Giants 🙂
At the NY Giants stadium, no less.
Yet another pitiful throw by Bradford. Mean he has stunk regal today.
Kerly is getting pounded today
Cowgirls lose. That already made my day
Kinda expected, but makes for a better week automatically 🙂
Well they were up like 28-7 at one point.
I know. Expected when I looked at the matchup, but they had me worried early 😛
should have been running into the kicker. didnt let him land.
It’s 3rd and 5, why are we going deep??
Why are we going deep to the rookie who’s being covered by Revis?
About time they tried
Because the Jets were sitting all over everything short.
Seriously, the one time he doesn’t check it down to the RB.
I don’t mind seeing a QB take shots at Revis, when we get away with it of course
The play was designed for Sproles out of the backfield but he was held at line scrimmage…wasn’t called
Really need to consider doing something about the QB. I don’t wanna say the name, but…
Kelly has made several adjustments today and if Bradford and the recievers make a few plays this is a laughfer.
That’s true but some huge errors.
At what point are we going to get seriously worried about Bradford’s ugly as hell deep balls? And his play overall?
I am worried.
Last week
Not even close..,. Rust is real, if you could fix hat putrid OL in one week,’probably should have some sense to be patient… Sam will be fine, we just gotta carry him for a few more weeks til he gets comfortable
That’s what I believed early on. But in the preseason(yeah I know) his passes looked great. No rust then. I’m starting to believe that he’s just shell-shocked from his time with the Rams, and can’t really handle game time pressure anymore.
Algholar looked like he had a step, and then he looked back. Am I just seeing things?
At some point receivers do need to look back if they want to make a reception…
No, they should play the CB’s hands.
yeah. But did he look back too early?
Graham has easily had his best game and the pressure has been there even if they aren’t wracking up sacks.
Except for that time he carried Fitzpatrick for a first down.
push off!!!
C’mon Human Torch. He’s played pooly in the 2nd half here.
way to tackle
Oh c’mon.
Tired defense and shoddy tackling now.
Bench maxwell rather see Rowe and Carroll
What is wrapping up?
Bair again.
Bair is a monster.
Papa Bear earning his bowl of porrage today!!!
thurmond!
nice play
Marshall has had a lousy game today even with the numbers and being doubled almost every play. That INT was all on him and the burtally stupid lateral.
beautiful catch
Head to the NJ Turnpike Jets’ fans.
I love these safeties and Nolan, Maxwell and Rowe are all progressing
We’re going to win. But only because the Jets are the Jets.
Still time left.
Thank you, Marshall. You were just what we needed.
Fitzpatrick*
Him too.
I just got what your name meant. LOL
That was on Brandon. Good throw, bad catch. Same as the game ending pick in the Atlanta game.
Seriously, my heart can’t take more of this. Offense does something stupid, defense does something awesome, up and down, up and down.
Brand new to being an Eagles fan, then? Welcome.
Nah, just getting older.
My liver is probably in worse shape.
Chip’s era has been like an ever-changing undercooked pancake. One side is always raw and the other is cooked.
0 points in 2nd half.
At least Bradford ain’t Fitzpatrick right?
Fitzpatrick has noting to work with today. Eagles have doubled Marshall all day and simply check the big plays in check.
He hasn’t been what he was advertised to be but small victories.
This is the 3rd time Fitzy led a team to a 2-0 start and he always turns back into a pumpkin and doesn’t let his teams sniff 3-0 … Stick to the script fitzy.. Love the consistency
He played poorly but this Jets’ offense is toothless. Eagles wont’ play another offensively-depleted team like this all season.
Redskins on deck pal… Have you seen Kurt cousin? Garçon is a fuckin Mutt.. If they can’t run, they are garbage and you don’t run on this Eagles front
Yeah but they have a good running attack and I really like their personnel there.
Jets didn’t have their 1 RB today and nobody worthwhile behind him.
Cousins seems to play well against us.
yeah Cousins can be crazy erratic. He plays us tough, but some games he looks like he’s never seen a football.
New Orleans may be pretty bad if Brees can’t go.
The Panthers
Better Trample the skins and abuse Cousins
Seriously, Sam. You could walk for a 1st down on those plays.
It’s not a read option
Then they desperately need to come up with something to create a backside constraint if they aren’t going to let Sam run the ‘read’ half of the zone read.
they really need to bring the read back into the read option
He has played scared today. Afraid to run it at all and is throwing it out quick a few times when he feels pressure on his backside.
I would give Bradford a D today. Just didn’t make a terrible thorw that lead to an INT todya.
I’d give him a C. He had 2 dropped passes that would have been either a huge gain or would have ended up in points
C-. Your right there were by my count 4 drops today.
The thing is that the Jets have a good defense. So the offense looking at least reasonable (more than reasonable in the first half), is pretty decent I think. Without those drops he’d have a TD pass or two more (the one to Sproles was gorgeous) and it would look far different. Not sure I could go much higher than a C though.
Missed a handful of what should have been huge plays too. Not a good day for Bradford. For a guy who gets praised for his ball placement, had some flat out misses.
On the Foles curve, doesn’t this go to defense and special teams?
RB’s and OL get some credit too. Actually have decent running #s despite playing a very good front.
True
sigh
Barwin got his mitts on that one too but it still got to the running back.
A 37yd punt? our kickers haven been trash today.
The Bair will get you there
wheres the holding
For as bad as our offense has looked, the Jets O has been worse in my opinion. Couple good moments but….yuck.
Toothless offense.
We knew coming in they were pretty limited. It was their defense we were worried about. Geno Smith probably gets a shot in a week or two…
It’s not the QB. Fitz doesn’t add a lot, but they desperately need someone besides Marshall on offense.
I don’t know if Bair screwed up Fitzpatrick’s hand but I’m not complaining
Miss this and hopefully cap it.
Fudge
game not over
so youre saying theres a chance…?
Ugh. Lots of time to blow this game.
who gives up the onside
Cooper
Austin, the new Cooper.
Maxwell.
Defense : Encouraging :: Offense : Discouraging.
I was encouraged by the offense today actually. The line played well against a very good D-line. Kelce rebounded and the Gs weren’t hot trash. Johnson played well I thought; Peters was so-so and continues to look more like the guy who wasn’t nearly as good as the guy in teh 1st half last season.
Agree on the line. QB and receivers very ugly situation.
Peters got his leg rolled up in the first game and came out for a play against the Cowboys. I wonder if he has some nagging injury there?
He came out twice today too for at least a play. I don’t think he is 100% either.
Offense needs to do something. No timeouts helps us obviously, but they get the 2 minute warning.
Fipp you f***er. They better be ready for this.
big balls chip with play action on first?
No need if they get this onside kick.
i’ve never been so happy to hear someone say ajirotutu
Truth.
Couldn’t catch a pass in preseason, but caught that
We just need one 1st down…
Dont pull a Giants here run run run
i’ll take ugly wins.
NFC East baby. Win and win ugly. Eagles made some progress this week including not blowing random assignemnts up front.
Celek still stunk again which is a problem.
That’s good, because you won’t be getting any other kind.
how bout a reverse
No
no just hand it offf…….Bradford keeper?
Fleaflicker?
Risk of fumbles goes way up with those no way at all.
Double reverse RB pass to Bradford.
Bradford drops on purpose in spite.
Season, saved.
Things that made me happy:
Sam under center and actually running the ball from there
Defense played fairly well all game
Things I’m not so thrilled with:
Drops
Still no deep threat/game
Billy tends to get passive when he gets a lead
Jekyll and Hyde
Is Cooper hurt? They actually missed him in the 2nd half.
12 in the huddle?
is it that hard to run a play
seriously?
dumb dumb dumb
Holy schnikes we are trying to lose.
OMG . . . what a !@#$ing DUMB PENALTY!!!!
holy shit
Oh for fuck’s sake.
Ertz.
Hooooooly shit. Really?!
Run a damn play
Impressively terrible.
Game.
nice.
Yay. A win
OMG. Thank you Jets.
Wipes brow.
ill take it
Went from a relatively clean game in terms of penalties to a total shit show.
Yeaaa our first win!!!!!!
More good than bad today.
Season, saved! Race to Eight baby (8 wins to win the NFC East)!
We’re bad
But not as bad as we thought.
i watched every second to make sure bradford didnt throw the ball in the air in celebration or kelce didnt pass out, etc
Life is just better when the Eagles win.
and when the Cowboys lose…
Bradford: 14/28 118yds 1TD.
Receivers are looking really bad with big drops and miscommunication.
He has yet to show he is any upgrade over Foles/Sanchez.
hit it big starting Ryan Matthews and Eagles def,ST on fanatasy
Should have started AZ defense. Two pick 6s on the first two drives.
I actually like Mathews over Murray. He is more shifty and has better vision then.Murray.
he broke a lot of tackles today, too
Actually missed Cooper on offense. Agholor continues to struggle to get off the line or run clean routes.
Just hope that after another 3-4 weeks that the game slows down for him a bit. Desperately need something from him.
More like Bradford struggling to throw an accurate deep ball. Agholor has been open several times with Sam throwing it in the dirt.
I counted 3 time where Agholor was open and Bradford just misfired, 2 McNabb’s and 1 overthrow
He was wide open on one play but Bradford overthrew him. He also had Revis beat down the sideline but again the throw was bad.
considering Agholor is a rookie, and that Bradford had time off in camp/preseason, they probably don’t have their timing down yet, which as we know from DJax’s early years is especially important on deeper throws
The problem is bigger then chemistry. Bradford simply only looks comfortable throwing to the middle of the field and shallow.
The problem looks even more severe then Sanchez only wanting to throw in the middle.
And Ags not getting any separation
There are times where he struggles when jammed, but there are just as many times where he has beat his man but Bradford does not look outside, or is unwilling to wait for the route to develop.
Agholor has actually been open numerous times but Bradford has either misfired, or completely ignored him. It’s a big problem that our QB will only throw middle of the field unless it’s a wheel route. I would rather have the problem of Agholor not getting open.
There’s always Huff.. Oh, wait….
We’re still garbage, the Pope winning us this game doesn’t change that
King of the Garbage Dump is still a king. A couple of very winnable games on the schedule coming up.
So 4 good quarters in 3 games….yay
i’m all for being realistic but i think you’re taking it a bit far. just enjoy the victory for once.
I’m usually one of the most optimistic ones here but I’ve seen nothing to get excited about
at least it seems like there’s something to build on
In his defense… the offense scored just 17 points. And we had a +3 turnover ratio plus a punt return TD and still won by just 7. Granted this was the best defense we have played so far and they looked OK — certainly much better than last week. Offense is still a concern but it was much better.
Why? They aren’t going to encounter a good defense the next 3 weeks.
I see them winning 2 of the next 3 and going into the Panthers game 3-3.
Defense has looked solid and would be even better if the offense wasnt so putrid. If you mean 4 good quarters by the offense, Ill agree but defense and ST for the most part played well.
I mean as a team
Woof. Defense was good today. Pass rush is still weak imo.
It’s a start and they have 3 very winnable games coming up.
I don’t think any game is very winnable with this offense the way it is right now.
ummmmm….
Yeah, that sounded funny. I meant very winnable as in easy to win.
Sure they are.
Who do we play week 6?
gmen
Yeah could see 3-3 in 3 weeks
This pass rush is a problem. Brandon Graham?
Fire Billy Davis you guys
But seriously.
The D is one true pass rusher away from being very good.
That’s what I keep noticing. Im watching these games and just keep waiting for the pressure. It getting a bit ridiculous. It doesnt matter if we blitz or not.
BUT PFF SAYS GRAHAM SHOULD HAVE LIKE 84 sacks as a full time starter!
What has he done? One blown up screen isnt gonna cut it from the predator spot. You know?
He played better today and at least was generating some pressure this week.
Curry was still MIA though.
not entirely true, Curry caused a sack for Barwin and had some good penetration too. Not a constant threat though, for sure.
Curry had more pressures than Graham by the look of it.
Don’t understand it. The only real difference is Trent Cole, & there’s no way he was having that much of an impact.
Why not? He was still very good. We just couldn’t afford to pay both him and Graham. The pass rush was a bit of a surprise last year, but take out a key element and don’t add anyone, and … may not be a big surprise it’s worse this year.
Graham is like a relief pitcher. He doesn’t have the full arsenal. So while Cole wasn’t consistenly getting home he had a much larger repitoire of moves to keep the LT off balance.
Graham’s played ok, but needs a more complete pass rushing arsenal. The other big question we had was whether he could handle a bigger workload and stay extremely effective. So far, the answer has been no.
Graham doesn’t have the lateral ability to make those pass rushing moves.
He either runs by the guy or tries to bull rush and hope he gets the tackle in a bad leverage/off balance position.
Fire Byron Maxwell instead.
Please do. Overall, not a bad game today, but he had a big hand in the Jets getting back in the game. Can’t blame the personnel anymore.
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA.
SERIOUSLY?
Fuck outta here
Yes. One decent game doesn’t excuse the travesty in the 1st half of the Atlanta game or for that matter the entire second half of the season last year. Please.
Last week? The first half of last season? The second half of Atlanta?
Some people just are irrational about it at this point.
He’s not some all star perfect DC but
1. There isn’t one available.
2. He’s working under a schematic mandate
3. We’ve seen improvement consitently
Got to pick on you a little on point 3. 29th in 2013, 28th in 2014, and now 24th so far in 2015. Yes, consistent incremental improvement with a team that has one of the better front seven’s in all of football and has never even made league average.
#FIREBILLY
We will always be low in the per-game yards rankings. Just the way it is when you face more total plays. If you go with yards per drive… yes we’ve been league average and might be better right now. After a terrible first half against the Falcons, they gave up 6 points the rest of the game to the Falcons, gave up 13 last week to Dallas (after being put in terrible position after terrible position), and gave up 17 this week. That is winning defense.
I still judge Billy on his 1st two seasons. Yes, you have to look at YPP to get a better feel for just how good or bad a D is when you play the style of offense we do. Still, in a game where we should have been totally fired up, we came out completely flat against Atlanta. The Cowgirls were missing their biggest weapon and we knocked Romo out part way through the game. The Jets have Marshall and . . . .
Billy is still giving up way too many deep passes. Need to get more creative in the blitz package to generate consistent pressure. Need to support the corners better and do a better job eliminating x-plays. After two seasons, I just don’t think Billy is the man for the job.
That’s not volume/pace adjusted. Due to the nature of the offense we’re never going to be great on counting stats.
Already responded to that when someone else brought it up, but I’ll repeat. YPP generally is ok, but the x-plays remain a huge problem. Blitzes have become predictable and no longer generate consistent pressure despite tons of talent in the front seven. I think the excuses that get made for Billy Davis mirror those made for Sam Bradford. Neither guy has ever been good in the pros yet they still have fans. We’re all entitled to an opinion, but I’ve seen enough of both to be ready to move on.
The defense has been bad a grand total of two quarters this year. They are not the issue thus far.
He let them back in the game? With the Hicks interception? Or, after doing nothing with the ball on offense, the Thurmund interception? The defense kept putting nails in the coffin and the offense kept pulling them out.
Absolutely. Neither team wanted this game, and certainly not the Eagles O..
Blame the offense for not being able to sustain drives. The D had 4 TOs
Not disagreeing that the offense has been worse this year. Still, given the money spent and picks made, I expect more consistency from the defense.
That two-minute drive to end the 1st half was classic Billy. I will agree that we still need a premier pass rusher to step up. Too many times, even when we blitzed, pressure just wasn’t there.
But Davis needs to go as well
This was a bad offense to begin with that had almost no skill players today except Marshall.
Davis does deserve credit for emphasizing the DL to get their hands up and doing the obvious (doubling Marshall almost all day long).
Random observation: Chip’s face isn’t nearly as red at this press conference as it was in the first two games.
Maxwell wasn’t terrible today but if this is the best he can do (2 penalties called on him and struggled to contain Marshall even with help all day) the Eagles are have problems.
I thought Maxwell played well, we need to stop thinking he’s sherman or revis. And Marshall is no fluke either.
Marshall good at dropping balls, which is hugely helpful
He played well at times in the 1st half and had a couple of good plays in the 1st half including a few nice tackles as soon as the WR caught it. Didn’t play well in the 2nd haf.
I did everyone a favor and kept my computer off to change the luck, you’re very welcome. Interesting score though.
how good does it feel to see rowe and hicks balling out all game. Amazing game by our rookies.
I thought the only two big concerns left after this game are miscommunications and drops between sam and our wrs and chip play call, running plays are way too predictable, mathews did a lot by himself. And give the game ball to Sproles, this guy is always steady even through thick and thin.
I think injuries are starting to become a concern. We’re starting to get hit a little bit in that department.
Nice to get the W, keeps the season from going on life support. Thank god the NFCEast is probably going to be a dumpster fire this year.
