PHI 10-7
Posted: October 11th, 2015 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 716 Comments »So close. The Eagles are so close to dominating this game. They have more than twice as many yards as the Saints. The Eagles have moved the ball up and down the field, only punting once.
And yet…they have only scored 10 points and lead by 3.
Turnovers hurt. Red Zone turnovers are even worse.
Sam Bradford has looked good on some plays, but has also thrown a pair of INTs in the end zone. Just give the Eagles a pair of FGs there and you have a 16-7 lead. Instead, the Eagles lead by a slim margin and can’t feel comfortable at all, despite looking dominant for parts of the 1st half.
Go score some points and let’s win this thing!
What’s up with the offensive pace? Even though we are finally moving the ball it looks pretty slow.
Dnt question it man!
It actually looks more varied to me. Given how the defensive lines we faced seemed to be able to time the snap, and fire off the ball, it’s probably a good thing.
Good point. Flexibility is good also maybe slowed it down due to lot of miscues on OL
I am predicting we destroy them in the second half. There cannot be many teams that threw two red zone picks, still led at the half, and went on to lose.
But if ever there were a team to do it…
How do you feel as a saints fan? Brees last years and no real young talent. They are about to live some painful years. (I know that we aren’t that much better)
Would have to be worse having a HOF QB still playing well and just not having the talent around him. Bradford sucks, our OL sucks, and the position talent is extremely young and raw. Of course, at least the Saints got a Superbowl to celebrate 😛
I feel like when they lose Peyton after this year, and Brees soon after, they are back to the bottom of the league where they have always been.
Hicks crushes a dude first play btw 🙂
Comcast is pissing me off
Regular broadcast just went out
Yeah it’s down on Fios.
DirecTV looking good
They’re burning the Linc
I keep waiting for Drew Brees to expose this defense. The second half will really tell me a lot about this defense. I feel like they are real. I hope they show it.
P.S As soon as we had a 3rd and short with some momentum I started hoping they would go under center and impose their will for one yard. They called it and I was terrified. Play didnt go as planned but 29 did his job for once. I liked it.
I was nervous when the defesne was 3rd and 23. I thought for sure they would convert.
Is it sad that I was too? If they close this game out strong I will no longer expect the bugaboos of the past.
There’s a lot of talent on this D, just a really mediocre coordinator. Top notch coordinator and an O that played ball control and we’d be a top five D.
So… I’m thinking Bradford should go back to being captain checkdown, it seems to suit him better and I think we win the game as long as he avoids bad interceptions.
Also anyone happen to know which coach got flagged for unsportsmanlike? That’s pretty poor on the staff, whoever it was.
I was wondering that too.
Good question, what a stupid foul
Seems we always have to play the Refs as well
Absolutely should be fired on Monday. Can’t do that as a coach, just can’t.
I hope it was Billy D and he gets fired lol.
Jk
We know it’s not Fipp, because the ref would be too scared to throw it on him…
his lazer eyes would burn the flag off the field
Goode with a good tackle on special teams to stop a big return.
BIG
I was surprised he was able to hold on.
3rd and LOL
close to strip sack and close to INT
*facepalm*
You can’t keep putting safties on Cooks!
Jenkins doesn’t have the wheels to run with Cooks.
Not too many players too.
was taht not a int?
ball came out at end
We dont challenge..
nice pass
How did we drop that INT twice? And how are our hands so bad, team-wide? Is it possible that the Jugs machine at NovaCare is misaligned?
Brilliant play call by Billy D there, put your safety on one of the fastest guys in the league. D’oh.
Wow, Cox.
And Logan…those guys are stronnnkkk
Thank goodness for Cox and Logan
Bennie Logan laughs at your block attempts.
Logan and Cox are scary.
FFS. What is with our 3rd down D
WTF
3rd down and ugh.
Can we please bench maxwell?
we did that last game… results werent good
Because he couldn’t prevent a Brees-Colston connection draped all over him?
Yeah. 3rd and long getting paid 60 million dollars stop it or come up with that interception earlier.
Really just do anything besides giving up more completions then incompletions.
He didn’t let one pass up the first half.
GEAGLE apologizes for every Bradford mistake, I do for Maxwell 😛 Thought he had good coverage, just a better pass/catch.
I hit the up arrow for worst post of the day. Is that correct use of the arrow?
I up voted your post…
i’m confused if you want an up arrow or not?
Lol, i broke the system.
Thank god for our stud DL, without them we’d really be fucked.
As opposed to what? What would you call this crap? Imaginatively fucked?
Holdingggg
Looked like a Hold on Barwin.
Shit is he actually exposing us? Why did I jinx it..
We all blame you.
Not really surprising. Sean Peyton >>>>>> Billy Davis.
Don’t sugar coat it for him. It is because of his comment.
3rd and oh please don’t fuck up.
id watch for a screen here
I think we can win this, we just gotta stop with the turnovers.
But… we’re addicted to them!
they taste salty and sweet at the same time
and are laced with smack.
Maybe just one more. Then we’ll stop.
good stop
We have a D to win games, do we have an O that will stop losing them?
just run straight murray. just run straight.
Put your shoulder down and run through the !@#$ tackler.
murray runs like he is walking on glass
It looks strange.. for sure.
John McClane style?
Saints are one of the worst tackling teams I’ve ever seen.
Nice, Demarco!
If Murray gets a head of steam, he will always get yards after contact.
that’s the first time that stretch play has worked in a long time.
Anyone see Agholor yet?
questionable to return
Yeah, that’s why I asked.
after ankle? nope
His return was questionable with an ankle injury. Austin has been in the game.
Our OZ stretch is finally working… probably because it’ not the only play we run with Murray now.
I really start to think Mathews is better than Murray
Ive been there for a few weeks.
Can’t argue that this season so far.
oooo if only he cut in…
FLAG!
Underthrow… it’s the sleeves!
Correction: Hit as he threw. BUT, it’s possible the DL knew where his arm was going to be because of the sleeves. They’re like two flapping windsocks…
how the fuck isnt that a flag
I just saw a hold on defense to try and not let our Oline pull.
that happens a lot actually. Chip wagon did a post on it.
I read the post. I guess i was just observing in game.
bad throw there, he was open
Why is Cooper talking shit? He does nothing
i think he was talking shit to himself
he’s not talking shit. He’s pissed at himself I think.
He has had some very clutch catches today. I really feel like he got the offense rolling.
I REALLY dont like him either….
He has more drops today than catches
Kenny Chezney was on the stadium PA?
The OL isn’t a huge problem today. That is impressive.
I think that’s a worthwhile goal for everyone: try to get through the day without being a huge problem.
The Saints D blows.
whew, thank you huff
Good hustle
RUN THE BALL!
RUN IT IN
Run Matthews. please
NO MORE FUCKING RZ INTS, RUN IT IN
Run, Run, Run. FG worst case scenario
So Saints call a timeout when a receiver is uncovered at the edge of the field. Interesting…
good strategy. add it to the list Billy.
pretty sure the refs would throw a flag on that if we did it
To be fair, that only works if you leave guys uncovered less than three times per half.
See, there’s always a catch…
(Unless it’s our 3rd down)
The Saints are a worse team than we, we should win this.
Get under center and knock them on their asses, please!!!
Please a run
Please,God make them call nothing but run plays Til we cross the goaline
Is our O good or their D terrible?
The latter
The latter, unfortunately
Or is their STs average?
Pretty sure it’s mostly the Saint’s D. Bradford singlehandely has been trying to keep the Saints in the game.
both
32 ranked pass d by dvoa
Everyone wants a run here, but I’m going to go against the grain: surprise punt.
Even better: Surprise onside punt.
actually LOL’d. thanks.
doug flutie drop kick field goal?
yeah, but then we’d get points out of it…
So that’s what opponents were feeling when we had the worst pass d. Boy they must have felt bad just like I am right now for the saints
RUN RUN RUNR URNFNJDLKFHDSLKFHKLDHSFL LEYSS YESSSSS
YAY! IT WASN’T TURN OVER!
Piece O cake
Yesssssss
24 or 29? who’s earning $$$$$$$$
Magnifique
Mathews points to the name on his back, but for him there is still ambiguity.
I think we’ve got this. Their D is tired, and was low effort to begin with. Their D is gonna roll over.
We should get this. Longest there is no more shooting at our own feet.
LETS GO RYAN! So sorry for all the years I talked about you! “baby I was,wrong!!!!”- in my best Bernie Mac voice
Why are they booing the review? They review every score.
Now, if they overturn it? BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Rob Ryan looks like Santa Claus, if Santa Claus were a drunk and has no respect for himself.
and homeless
Randy Quaid
At over 300 pounds and stopping for cookies at every house, I think it’s safe to say Santa has no respect for himself…
Bad Santa?
jamaal charles acl
He tore it?
can’t wait to get him on our team next year
Damn… hate to see that happen. I guess Smith will really get exposed
my fantasy back too
The Chief’s O is anemic with him, I hate to think what it’ll be like now.
That’s really tough, he somehow tripped himself to do it too
he tripped over his ACL. sounds like self tackling maclin syndrome
Isn’t he the one that tore it when he slipped on plastic on the sideline a few years ago?
I thought it was a banana peel
knile davis the backup?
Buckle up for Sturgis time…
Buffalo losing 10-0 to TEN, what a weird season this is.
TEN has a franchise QB 😛
How is that weird at all
well, TEN has a rookie QB and BUF were looking dominant in the first few weeks.
typical buffalo
Typical Ryan led team
They looked good against Indy, and Miami that’s it. No Shady and I’m not a Taylor believer
Music City Miracle payback?
I started TT.
me too, was trying to decide tt or mariota
My choice was Bradford to TT.
he just scored a rushing TD
sad stat.
??
announcer said this is the first time eagles have scored a TD in both halves of a game
Oh gawd
TD in both 1/2s for the first time? Hell yeah, that’s sad.
Hopefully since our offense has actually moved the ball, after we,pick up a first down we can start to catch that defense,sucking Wind..
..
Nothing would make me happier than running all over the saints defense for the rest of the game, and get the win
trolls having a tough day trolling today
birds do a great job of keepin em in the game tho
bradfords ints did that
yup,both bad throws
Sadly they still have bradford
They will be under nearby bridges, waiting.
Trolls? What people who have been disappointed in a bad looking team?
no people hoping players get injured jus so the coach gets fired….those trolls
Only about Billy D. for me.
LEts go DEFENSE..Bennie, Cox, Ced time to exact REVENGE from that playoffs loss, show this OL how much we have grown by kicking their ASS and taking over this game
BIG BOY COXXXXXX
Watch THIS one get overturned…
putting it all together
AND HE GOT HIS OWN FUMBLE
DEFENSE! DEFENSE!mDEFENSE!!!! It’s growing before your eyes..
3 sacks for cox
Cox 9th coming out of party!
I”m not entirely sure what team I’m watching today.
YESSS
lifetime contractzzzzzz plzzzzz
Big game for Cox. We need more of this.
Monster game. And that was a NO DOUBT fumble.
400 million dollar contract for 100 yards for Cox thanks.
I’m not sure if cox will want to be contractually obligated to run 100 yards….
I love Cox.
Yep, I’m good with that.
Make them pay!!!
CELEK!
wait the wrong person caught it in the endzone?
Make them Pay!!!!
Celek hiding in the shadows!
THIS IS SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN LOSING!!!
We should do this every week.
THen sturgis reminds you about reality.
Make them Pay!!!
Lol that was some smooth “Riley cooper…watching celek catching the td”
I get to cheer, WTF???
I had only bad thoughts when Sam didn’t hand it off
same here… hangs head in shame
EAGLES PTSD
there’s no shame, Sam has proven today that breath should be held when he drops back to pass in the RZ.
I tend to get more nervous when he holds the ball. When Sam holds the ball, even when protection is there, seems like something bad is bound to happen.
just let me fucking enjoy this sturgis
why’s it always gotta be about him, selfish bum
if we lose by 1
Nope
This guy’s gotta go
I’ll come miss FGs for half of what he makes ever week.
Hahahahahaha
Shankville.
I just felt a cold shadow pass over my shoulder when Sturgis missed that PAT… We can’t fuck this up can we?
How much more time do the Eagles give Sturgis? If you cant even make 30 yard field goals then what is your worth?
That guy is just an attention whore
O scored too fast there D needs a rest
They only played one snap
Cox is always ready for action
upright and ready
Bye Caleb. One week too late… Hope it doesn’t hurt
can we call henery, he could at least make PATs
time to give serious consideration to 2 pt conversions.
We will if we score again that’s for sure
Did he miss,the extra PT?
by a mile
Im starting to think this guy kicks with his eyes closed
we should just go for 2 every time
I haven’t watched figure skating in awhile, but I believe Celek performed a double salchow during his celebration…
Make them Pay!! turn this damn season around boys!!
..
defense get greedy and go get another one!
.,
Don’t go into our pussy Prevent offense, keep the foot on the gas tempo and trample this suspect saints defense
dont let the foot off the gas
We may as well re-sign Tebow for 2pt conversions at this rate.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
He missed the extra pt?
he can probably kick better too or have punter do kick offs
Cox is dominating this game
and when it’s not Cox, it’s Logan making plays. D-Line showing up.
Seeing that screenshot of cox running full speed would make me change my uniform
at least my pants
is this cox’s best game?
think so
Maybe stat wise, but he dominated a few games like this last year
Thanksgiving against the boys as well
Cox is winning that game
Yeah, i’d run away from big #91 too.
no measure? wtf
I have a Lego Eagles scene on the coffee table, received as a gift from Baloophi. My younger son just used it to confirm where the ball has to go to earn the extra point. Maybe I should send it to Sturgis?
Umm, that was for YOU to play with. Not your children.
Oh, he knew not to touch, just point.
Foles threw a terribke pick 6 to Quintin Rollins
Surprised?
Yup. FOles can play
Crow when Bradford beats a good team, a crippled Jets and a bad Saints aint much
maxwell get it
Bench him!
Upvoted
Well played.
Colston looks like he’s hurt.
He is… he got hurt in the first half
I don’t know why the saints don’t pull him, he’s useless with one arm. Warrior mentality my ass, he’s no good with 1 arm.
Spiller ran out of bounds.
SHANKOPOTAMUS!!!!!
Scared to death of Sproles Boogie
“They call me B-max, I stay strapped, sleep with a Gat, Philly Cat, twist my Reefer in backs…”
Got some great kickers this game. Think I could have kicked it further.
I don’t know if the state of kicking league wide has ever been worse.. I feel like every game I watch this year is a kicking disaster
Moving the EP was huge Injuries have just compounded it.
What is this strange feeling I am having while watching an Eagles game? Should I go to the emergency room?
Shhhh
Do you smell burnt toast…other than Maxwell, I mean?
there you go murray
It’s so much more fun watching the other team make stupid mistakes.
Saints are imploding. Torches and pitchforks away for another week.
not even 4th quarter yet, let’s not be hasty
murray has a hard time getting small it seems.
LOVE THE LEAP!
Maybe it’s just me, but when a punt goes out of bounds and the side judge runs along the sideline to determine where it went out, I’m always reminded of the mountain climber game from The Price is Right…
im yodeling in my mind
Me too… but that’s all the time.
Dear Mr. Celek, its not 2008 any more.
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
At very least, you have to run over somebody before you start hurdling.
bad cut by murray there, no vision right now
ok enough w murray already, i get it
Hit the hole DeMarco!!! Jesus F!! You had 2 holes. hit them!!!
Run Matthews for gods sake.
Lots of meat on that bone….
Murray is like my dog: he hates going inside.
I can’t imagine you dog leaving meat on the bone.
True, though every once in awhile she has a stomach issue and eschews her food for grass. It’s not great.
Damn, just run over Breaux.
We,had good blocking on that play, Murray has to be better than that
seriously
#40 on the Saints is pretty good. He’s been making plays all day.
Breaux? he was the whipping boy last week
Raw. Undeniably talented, but so very, very raw.
oh fuck. sturgis…
Its cool.. shorter than an extra point.
murray ruined that drive
He seems to play soft
yea he ran pissed off last year…this year he seems to wanna dance
i would never call him soft but definitely hesitant
Great adjective. Describes the way he’s run all season extremely well.
Sidenote Didn’t novak just make a 50 yarder on thursday?
Don’t troll . . . don’t troll. Please don’t miss this 😛
ironic cheers x 100
dead serious, we would have et had to cut him if he missed that kick
I hope the next kicker is already on a plane.
We should anyways, but I don’t know who else is out there
THATS the problem!!!!!!!
we could easily be up by 35pts.
Probably should be. Looks like the d-line decided not to 2-gap on that play.
Cox stunted out of the hole they ran to
pretty sure it was him pointing to the gap the RB went through before the snap, too, I guess to signal the LBs to cover it
and be 4-1, shrug
So……… This is in the bag right? RIGHT?
DO NOT JINX THIS.
shush!
Get out.
Jordan Mathews, awaiting the snap: “Do you even lift, Breaux?”
“Is this game Breaux-dcast?”
“I trimmed my eye-breauxs for this game”
etc.
“You look slower than Tom Breaux-kaw.”
Solid gap fill by Hicks…
and then a near INT
so this hicks guy tho…
Can’t catch… ugh (sarcasm font)
That might have been worth a challenge on the non-fumble.
he never had full possesion of it…..was bobbling it
Can’t risk losing a timeout we won’t use the next time our defense is confused…
Hicks is mortal. Great play, but shoulda picked it.
Hicks is impressing.
Impressive.
For all of those who didnt like the Hicks pick, he may have been the best pick in the draft.
Our best pick, yeah. Best in the entire draft? Bit early for that 🙂
i assume thats waht he meant
Well Paul Dawson would have ahd that pick with his 28inch vertical!!!
Would have been a great day for him if he hadn’t fucked up the alignment and given up the Saints first TD. Otherwise he’s looked good.
And for the record, hated the pick. Still think it was wasteful in that we already have talent at the position. Once Kiko and Kendricks are both healthy, where exactly are going to play our four starting ILBs?
We trade Kiko duh
For a bag of donuts at this pt 😛
Game is pretty over, so I’ve lost interest, browsing the internet and checking back. What’s interesting to me is that this team still isn’t very good, and the Saints are a wreck. Brees is like Vick of 2013. Aftershock of being too beat up at an old age…
game over in the 3rd quarter but we’re not good?
The saints are really that bad. Just too many really bad plays on offense to be very happy.
If not for a little Hick-up…
That’s. Not. Bad.
Probably can put that 24 vs 29 debate to rest I think.
trade murray to buffalo. they always want our rbs.
Mathews, so much faster
Seriously, Mathews never go down on first contact. Love that guy
Matthews tackled Mathews!
Jordan Mathews with the touchdown saving tackle.
Matthews on Mathews crime
Jordan Matthews with the tackle. WTF Matthews?
demarco needs to learn some things from mathews
A little Mathews on Mathews punishment there.
Um, MatThews on Mathews. The extra “t” is for “tackle.”
gotta give the D a rest
but it’s the 4th quarter….our o-line is supposed to be tired from the tempo…how are we running it well?
Is Ryan Matthews the best running back for this offense not Murray? Just enough shift and plenty of power forward.
better vision right now too
If we had something in the interior OL then we would have 2 great RBs.
Really starting to look that way. That or Demarco’s just not really healthy. Frankly, he looked better than this in Dallas every year he was there, not just last season.
Murray isn’t playing close to his best right now. But I see much more fixable problem than limitations that can’t be overcome.
..
When we execute we will run 80 plays, and both are known to miss time.. When we start playing at the level we aspire to get to, we will be thrilled that we have both..
..
But yes, right now Mathews is definitely playing better
interesting way to double team that wheel route
murray in the game… waa waa..
good throw, great coverage
Once Murray stops moving its over for him. I dont think the line is playing to his style right now.
wow, the hard count worked
Did Bradford use a hard count?
Was that the first one of the season?
Man…Foles is 8-21 54 yards. The Packers d is not THAT good!
i always wanted a hard count…
We can finally use the hard count…
Two good things tonight. OL and the cut down of penalties.
I like Murray more when he just runs straight.
murray needs to just stop
Dear NFL,
Can we play the Saints every week?
Sincerely,
Philadelphia
hell of a run by JMatt!
So, Murray is pressing, you say?
Jordan Matthews with his Marlon Favorite impression.
This team has heart…..need more brains
That was just a nasty run. Nice play Matthews.
A Stephone Anthony sighting…
Well, no one on the OL saw him.
Tobin responsible for that one.
good play by anthony
are we in his FG range?
I think the 10yrd line or so is his range 🙂
He did it!
Wait, so if I enjoy your posts, I’m supposed to down-vote them?
speaking of which, how come downvotes dont show up? Eaglesfanqq should have a pile of them from me..
Never seen them show up.
Disqus disabled them a few years ago. They were too mean, or something.
Now they dangle out there for ornamentation only… like Bradford’s sleeves.
I sort of trolled myself there didn’t I?
Classic self-troll.
Are the skins really winning?
Skins are a decent football team
Why no play action on 3rd down and goal?
Wow!!! Even the FG kicker is holding up..
..
You know you are desperate when us malcontent Philly fans are so happy that our FG kicker hit a chip shot
still ten minutes. dont fucking relax defense.
very true, defense is my leading point getter on my fantasy team
Expect us to give up at least one score. It’s Billy.
Sturgis is very good at touchback though
*sigh
sigh x plays
smh
first xplay for carroll. OPI tho
What the hell?! Bench Maxwell!
That was Carroll.
That doesn’t matter, does it? Maxwell gets he big check. Blame him for every catch.
lol
Off PI
get a stop here defebse
“Sacks come in bunches” cliche once again holds true..
..
Saint in pass from behind mode, I’d like to see us get 2 more sacks and 1 more turnover..
…
hIcks is such a stud. Every time I see him I can’t get over how good he is..
Bwahahahaha didn’t expect it to come that fast
ATTA BOYYYYYY
that is a catch and fumble
Meco
maxwell make money! Ryans make money!!!
Please don’t call this incomplete. Great hit!!!!
Fumblerooski!
Thats a fumble
So I am happy we got it and all, but how is that last one not a fumble and that one is?
Science.
Yeah.
i think i know the one you are talking about..pass to TE over the middle? looked like receiver never had full control of it
Nice win. Maybe we can build off it.
def turned upfield and was running. should have been a scoop and score… stupid maxwell. jk..
Wow what happened to the saints. I know their D has no talent but they are just a bad team, surprising with Sean Payton as HC.
Been bad for a couple seasons now. 2013 was their last really good year. Frustrating as last season was for us, Saints were much worse.
I know just wondering what or how that happened. They have a good HC and Brees isn’t what he was but still pretty good.
Rob Ryan 🙂
Honestly, not sure what all it is. Don’t follow the Saints regularly, but they just haven’t been good on O or D the last year and a quarter now.
Fire Payton!!!
Eagles defense is bettwr than last year?
Thought they were very solid last year. Think they are one of the best this year. Stats will never show it though.
Extremely talented. Still need a difference making pass rusher and better corner play. Better coordinator would put them over the top. Too bad Chip’s married to Billy.
benched gurley for sproles, hat was dumb. Foles throws a pick in the endzone
Sproles?
Hat?
Saints are just a mess. Nice to know we can take care of them.
Man, you can trade McCoy out of Philadelphia, but the field is still very shady…
at least the shade is running north-south
winner
Really be awesome if the Falcons work some more of their 4th quarter magic and beat the skins
why is murray carrying hte ball like its a turd
Its brown and round.
Funny you mention that, because a Bengal just caught a touchdown between his legs, dingleberry-style…
I assume it’s because he was on the sideline and planned to go out of bounds
..
Obviously I’d rather not see him hold it like that
I hope Murray and the Oline build off this week.
no point in FG’s at this point, so will go for it on 4th….we’re going to score another TD.
Wish we could bench JP and Lane the rest of the way..
come on matthews .
Matthews with another drop.
drops
Jordan Matthews has been the biggest dissappointment for me so far
**sigh** That was a nice backside constraint play and it goes for naught.
Automatic first down.
Love these refs lol
Lets hope Matt Ryan clutches it out guys
The Saints are a dumpster fire.
Matthews better be at the jug machine every waking minute
unfortunately i think he already is…
5th week in a row we are saying that
He and Murray need to figure it out.
Never going to have great natural hands. Concentration has to be better.
Couldn’t agree more.
Get Sanchez and Barner some work… Bring Dennis Kelly in off the Bench and get him some work
falcons w/ game winning td
ATL just scored
Nice!!!
Redskins might lose.
Devonta Freeman destroying every fantasy league possible right now. God damn.
Falcons take the lead!
Ertz had a good day today. Lots of catches early to get us going. I think a WR isnt out of the question in the first 3 roinds next year.
my dream is Josh Doctson……Fans may not be happy if we go WR in 1st next year
He’s 24
I think we need a solid veteran not another rookie or washed guy up like miles austin
I’d prefer a FA, need a sure handed VET that’s not past his prime.
I hope not. I personally don’t love any WR in the draft so far.
Thats fine. Its only October.
Falcons TD overturned
refs are terrible. it’s clearly a TD
looked like a TD, fumble in the endzone, then recovered for a TD.. refs are terrible I guess
Eagles are gonna win, Shah has a Caucasian QB to hate, Tommy will pour some sugar on this win, and we’re are alive.
Also, I hear the sun is going to set in the west this evening.
Cant overturn that TD.
Falcons score again….this one ain’t coming back
LOL
with even less time on the clock
Falcons w/ a nother TV, freeman best pick up in fantasy.
THURMOND!
Brees is done
all his does is INT balls
Wow
hhahahaha when it rains it pours. What’s the media goingto say this week?
That should be the nail in the coffin.
Smith II with pressure
Was that Marcus Smith with the pressure???
MSII with the pressure and hit!
M.Smith with the pressure
run it with mathews! Could use the points
SMITH w/ the almost sack
Holy @!#$ Marcus Smith with the pressure!!!!
Garbage time int woo
Somewhere, Trash Can is taking offense at that comment…
Trash Can thinks it’s always garbage time
It’s a real shame we’re not allowed to post pictures of him anymore…
Ehh good confidence builder
Happy to say I was wrong about MSII not getting playing time today.
Marcus Smith! That was Marcus Smith!
(Who hit Brees in the head…)
isn’t that a penalty?
Love beating the Saints.
Walk in TD. Needed a game like this. Happy for the first time this year 🙂
I don’t want to see murray anymore after this week. Mathews needs the ball in his hands.
ugliest 29 point win i have ever seen
39 🙂 (I read it wrong, my bad.)
39-10 = 29? i went to Ridley, but i think i learned basic arithmetic
I read it wrong. I saw it as “ugliest 29 poitns I have ever seen”
haha its all good
Lemme check google……confirmed
Redskins are losing again
can’t believe sproles got no work agianst his team.
39 points! This is what I expected after preseason.
this was supposed to be the score at halftime, if you believe preseason
Glass half full? If they cut out the two stupid RZ turnovers, this is a 50pt game. Glass half empty? Those were HORRIBLE picks.
It’s okay if you build some margin for error in the score
Today, take half full.
Marcus smith sighting on the Brees int!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy this win. We deserve it.
Don’t make more of it than it is. All of the same problems are still there.
The OL play is a huge relief though
Couldn’t agree more, gives hope going forward
Question . . . good OL play or bad front seven by Saints? I’ll take the glass half full until next week.
OL played well. That was definitely great to see. How much was it due to the saints being a bad team vs. OLine playing better… guess we will find out
NOW Sturgis hits it between the uprights…
is cousins really going to lead a tying drive?
O wow..Redskins tied it 🙁
yeah who is this kurt cousins guy?
hope this doesnt overinflate any egos in the eagles locker room. someone needs to tell them they still suck.
you can stand outside the gates of novacare on tuesday and tell them
That’s Chip’s job.
That’s where the troll went!
I mean he is right.
well they admitted that preseason inflated their egos and thats why they came out flat in game one.
I’d like to see Malcolm Jenkins come off the field. Too important to lose in garbage time.
Rowe has troubles to cover the cut back
Braman!
Looked like a nice inside spin move…
Bryan Braman sighting!!
MS2 pressures Brees into an INT that Thurmond almost took to the house..
..
Seeing some Growths boys.
..
Huff took a step in the right direction
..
Murray made a ton of bad mental mistakes this game, but he was able to get some good work in so hopefully he took a step towards getting him where he needs to be
..
Offense did its part today, helped out in time if position and our defense responded with a dominant performance, stingy, continuing to force turnovers, holding Drew Bree’s to 10 points.
..
1 big positive step towards proving that September can be Misleading.. But to really progress we have to build on this win and carry it over into a win against the Giants.., If we can win Next week, It’s a BRAND New NFL season!!!
Braman needs to get time at OLB, he’s a monster.
He must be awful against the run, or something.
He’s just not really big enough to play OLB in this system. Looks like he’s 240 tops and he’s an angular 240. This D, OLB’s need to be 260 plus.
JPP wouldn’t have been able to make that grab
Did the washigton kicker make a 65 yard kick? Or am I reading that wrong
i think Saints are worst defense in NFL
Undisciplined as well.
Well if nothing else, it’s good to know we aren’t worse than the worst.
Our defense isn’t the biggest issue.
You mean team-wise, right? If our defense had nearly any other offense, they would be undefeated.
Pretty sure TB and Cleveland are worse on O. Might be the only teams that are 🙂
And, here comes the meaningless TD. Dang it Billy.
what’s the over?
Don’t know. Don’t really care. Just get tired of Billy playing soft when he gets a lead.
Must suck if tnat TD had major betting implications, no idea what the line was
Believe it or not, it was 49 points…
Last TD went from “push” to “over.”
LOL. I would have thought it was lower. That’s why I no longer gamble.
Nice Billy. Well, we know where he had his money.
I think Billy D plays FanDuel
At least pull the starters if you are going to let them score.
damnit!
Great call.
I may or may not have Drew Brees in two fantasy leagues…
I have brees and cooks. So it’s ok
That’s the best way to have or not have him.
Rowe w/ no chance, he’s clerly a safety
just a rook.
beat me to it.
Clerly
He’s raw for now. If he looks that way half way through next year, I’ll agree.
I mean, at least he was in the same camera shot, that’s an improvement on last year’s corners even in the RZ. If anything it was looking back for the ball that was the mistake, ironically
Hopefully the bengals can beat Seattle after they were gifted the Lions win.
..
need skins to lose – they’ll be dangerus once djax is bac
Done
Falcons win on a pick 6!
Foles with a gorgeous bomb
You being facetious? I dont have redzone
No, in AZ we have the STL game and he did throw a pretty bomb. I can’t vouch for the rest of the game.
Flacons with the pick 6 for the win
If Brady hangs 70 on the Dallas defense this will be the first truly satisfying Sunday of the season
LMAO!
Falcons win!
right on time, pick 6. B/c of what? They blitzed cousins. Blitz kurt cousins
Damn this bengals team is loaded
Hopefully Dalton delivers this win
Have been for years. Dalton taking the next step finally. That team is scurry.
I am really pleased with how we tightened up the commenting this week. Good spelling, proper grammar, solid coordination and responses. We seemed to be on the same page more so than in weeks past.
Solid effort, guys.
I feel we made the most of the opportunities for puns, too many of those slipped past last week.
#Execution
Game balls?
I think many of us put in some extra time this week after work shoving our fingers through a Jugs machine…
hahahaha! Classic Cary Williams. TE beat him like a drum.
lol at cary williams wanting nothing to do with the tackle
Sounds about right
“Scary” Williams
Reminded me of that desean Jackson picture “that moment when you realize you ain’t about that life”
cinci running fake ro?
Dalton is looking good, if he gets rolling I legit think they are the best team in the NFL with the Pats
Don’t forget AZ
I’m not a believer
As long as Palmer is standing I think they have a shot
No Green Bay?
LoL
So happy to see Seattle loose
Bank!
Seattle’s in TRUBBLE. Bengal’s with a huge win.
Should have lost last week too
Didn’t watch the game, but I heard.
then why is every article about chip kelly?
seriously, what is Seattle’s problem I don’t know.
Their OL is a bigger mess than us
Seattle has lost close games and has by-n-large looked good. Eagles have looked like dog shit with the exception of today. If the Saints were even close to competent, the two early picks would have cost us.
Because our coach was a successful college coach and after moving to the NFL… wait a second…
Lombardi trophy.
Their OL is a mess… Bet they wish they could Undo the Jimmy Graham for Max Unger trade, but that OL has more than 1 problem.,
..
Wilson isn’t good enough to get the ball out so fast that he can compensate for his line and help them out the way Brady does or even Eli last week who got the ball out on average in 1.8 seconds per pass…
..
Seattle SHOULD be on a two game losing streak…
nice!!! Seattle lost, Skins lost, I’m going to sit back and become a rabid Patriots pan for this Dallas game,,, who do the Giants play?
San Fran
I hate both teams. I just hate Dallas more than anyone. How about the Patriots win, but Gronk and Brady both have season ending injuries?
You wouldn’t hear me object..
…
With our division on the line, and a chance to see Dallas go on a dumpster fire 6-7 game losing streak, that is enough for me to root for hated Pats
..
Plus with scumbag Greg Hardy playing I want to see Brady completely embarress the Dallas devense While it gets all its talented scumbags back today., I want to watch Gronk score 5 TDs on them before he gets hurt 😉
Today we are all Patriots fans.
gotta say, bravo for the team not folding
Glad they got it together in the second half. Still waaaaaay too sloppy and the Saints’ horrific defense certainly helped, but it’s certainly better than what would’ve amounted to a season-ending loss. Nice to not be biting our nails and have the last minute TD not matter.
18 points in field goals is not great.
12 points in field goals
Wow, Andy Reid lost to a shitty Bears team that is having a friggin fire sale.. LOL.. Jamal Charles also got hurt
mccliain and hardy will be a problem this year
Just for fun. Foles 11-30 159 1TD 4 INT
had a bad fumble too.
Bradford had to throw 30 times in the first half today..
and only 159 yds? gurley had a big day.
according to twitter, the Eagles points total was higher than Foles QB rating.
Chip: “but Josh won’t be running into the end zone holding the ball with one hand again, we talked about that”…
“We could tell we were starting to wear them down, OL dominated the line of scrimmage today”. Sammy boy
needs to really yeast up ol today.
Yeast Mode
KC lost to the Bears at home? Geez Andy
And Charles tore his ACL. Sad.
Damn, ACL tear again for that kid? That’s a shame, wonder how many great years he has left in him. One of my favorite backs to watch. Is that the same knee as last time?
Not sure if it’s the same knee; I was wondering too. It should be noted the team hasn’t officially said he tore it but that’s what’s being reported.
It’s not the same knee
“I was stopping our offense by throwing INT’s in the red zone” -Sammy B
“By no means are we where we need to be, but this is a good step in the right direction of us, but it’s important to go build on this”…-Sam
32 of 45 for 322yards is a heckuva game by Sam… If he didn’t throw those 2 INTs, he could have had a GEM of a Game Today..
..
Two TDs and Two INTs, need to clean that up and turn it into 4 TDs..
..
519 yards of total offense.. You complete 32 passes and only miss 13, that’s some nice repetitive Acuracy..
Sam was missing guys all day. Throwing it behind WRs and just bad ball placement.
I know we won, but Bradford still has to play better for us to beat good teams. You cant throw picks with clean pockets like that
He is absolutely not where we need him to be… But CLEARLY he has been progressing which is what is important
He was not accurate today despite the 32 for 45. On a lot of those completions, WR had to adjust to the ball or the ball was put in a spot that slowed the WR down. When we talk accuracy, hit players in stride is what you are looking for, not completion percentage. Having said that, if moving forward, his only issue is that, I’ll definitely take it as a HUGE improvement from what we saw the fist 4 weeks. Of course, he still had those two terrible INTS and those can’t be overlooked simply because we dominated what was considered the worst defense in the league.
It was Bradford’s best game, but it still wasn’t a great game. Also, while those numbers look good, how many times did we see Nick and Sanchez put up similar or better numbers in the last two seasons? Bradford’s accuracy was actually poor. As Iskar36 noted, you look at where he placed the ball and it was actually really bad on most of his down field throws. The picks were inexcusable. You take a shot down the field and the DB makes a great play, you tip your cap. You have open receivers in the RZ and give the DB a chance to make a pick? Horrible throw. Just piss poor ball placement. You keep saying, ‘give him time, he’ll get better.’ Sam isn’t a rookie or even a third year player. He’s a seasoned veteran playing in a scheme that’s allowed average talents like Foles and Sanchez to put up pro-bowl numbers. Sure, you can put some of the blame on the lack of running game, but the pass protection has been there for most of the season. I just don’t see how any honest observer can consider Bradford an upgrade.
He’s an upgrade over Nick Foles.
Not sure he’s an upgrade over Sanchez. Still willing to give him some time to work it out.
Not based on what we’ve seen this year. Foles numbers in that horrible start to last season where many soured on him are still better than Sam’s.
Foles is still a better down field thrower than Sanchez, too. Not saying that Foles played well last year, he didn’t. Just that Sanchez was worse and both have looked better than Bradford.
i’m not saying he’s been an upgrade per se, but some of you guys are ridiculous saying that a lot of balls he completes are tough catches. you guys are looking for perfection that isn’t there for quarterbacks in NFL, cept maybe a select few…..this receiving corps continues to drop passes left and right. Not as many today, but it was still bad
Absolutely, his receivers aren’t helping him. Problem is, he’s not helping his receivers either. You say we’re being over critical, then how is it fair to say “Nick’s and Sanchez’s stats were inflated by this offense, it’s not fair to compare them to Bradford.” First quarter of the season, he’s been the exact flawed QB we saw in St. Louis. He plays scared in the pocket and would rather check down than take shots down the field. When he does try to make tight window throws, it’s when he really doesn’t need to, leading to picks. He also throws too damn hard over the middle of the field which has exacerbated his receivers poor hands.
I’m thrilled we won the game and Bradford really did play better down the stretch after a really shaky start. I hope he ultimately proves me wrong, but I’m not going to put my head in the sand and say it’s better just ‘because.’
I’m not saying he’s been perfect, but i watch Brady and Rodgers play qb and they don’t make every throw right on the money, hell they are lucky to put half their balls on the money….those guys wouldn’t be good enough here either for some people. I’m not burying my head in the sand either, i admit the 2 int’s he threw were bad, especially the 1st one, but how many drops did they have again today? i count at least 3 by JMatt, one by Ertz and one from Cooper and none of them were tough catches and i didn’t see any spectacular catches….maybe one from Ertz on a ball Bradford put only where he could catch it.
Again i’m not saying the guy has played on an all-pro level, he has been mediocre overall, but i think the over-analysis is out of hand. I get that he’s the QB and the trade and all that….but as the lists of problems on this team goes he is nowhere near the top
That was a special catch by Ertz. Great throw, great catch. I’ll gladly tip my cap on that play. My concern is the number of poorly placed balls on down field throws. Not every throw is going to be perfect, but when most throws over ten yards force the receiver to either stop, stretch, etc. you’re not going to make a lot of yards down the field. I posted in the next thread and linked an article that compares Bradford’s and Fole’s starts to the season. They are remarkably similar and remember, that poor start was enough to get Foles a ticket out of town.
ok we’ll just agree to disagree for now, glad we won….for the record i didn’t comment here last year, but i was a Foles fan and didn’t think he got a fair shake last year. ultimately i didn’t think he was the best fit for this offense tho
Foles was always a square peg in a round hole here in Philly. He was told he needed to take less sacks in 2014 and resorted to back pedaling when facing pressure. That led to a lot of back foot throws and a corresponding uptick in interceptions. I thought his issues were correctable, but I do understand the choice to move on from him. I just never understood why Kelly and the Eagles glommed onto Bradford as their savior. Seems like just as bad a fit and an overpriced injury prone one as well.
I hate saying this but Cole Beasley is so hard to cover and great weapon for that team
Bailey is a hell of a kicker too. A lot teams wish they had somebody like that right now.
Yup Bailey has been rock solid for about 4 years now
Seattle – 2 and 3 (should be 1 and 4)
Baltimore – 1 and 4
New Orleans – 1 and 4
Philadelphia – 2 and 3
Indy – 3 and 2 (and only a couple plays from 0-5)
Anybody who predicted this before the season started needs to pick my lottery numbers.
I think Balt should be 0-5 if it wasnt for a complete meldown by the steelers
Don’t forget ATL being undefeated
NO has huge cap problems and traded away their best non QB playmaker. I wouldn’t say NO sucking is a surprise.
Expected mediocrity honestly. Not this suckfest.
Murray has a pimping light green suit on..
..
No where near the best game for Demarco, but when he goes and watches the tape Monday with the RBs, he will see “how much meat he left on the bone” by not trusting his OL to put his head down and run the plays instead of looking for the perfect hole which really held Murray back from having a great game… The OL blocking was there for Murray to have a monster game and it will be crystal clear to Murray when we watches the film, so hopefully this builds some confidence in our OL after their putrid play probably traumatized Murray in September..,,if the OL continues to click against the top rated run defense, I expect to see a much better game by Murray next week because of how he will be humbled when he watches the film with the rest of the RBS and Duece,.
…
While everyone is loving Ryan Mathews (rightfully so since he is running like an animal), I’m calling it right now, the Giants game will be Murrays true breakout party as an eagle.
Do you remember when you called Ryan Matthews “soft” for like, a month, after he was signed?
Thank you. I was arguing with somebody during the game about this.
be a travesty is mathews gets buried for murray
Mathews needs more work. He is so close to hitting a home run each game
Execute the offense correctly means running 80 plays in which case you could get Murray and Mathews 20 carries each if you wanted to amd that would stil mean Bradford having to throw 40 times.
..
I don’t want to see either RB “burried”, I want the offense to work so all 3 RBs can eat..
New Orleans is truly terrible. Tough to take too many positives out of this win. Sam looked okay against a terrible secondary, OL looked okay against a terrible front-7.
For now, happy that Chip stopped the bleeding. Big game next week. A loss versus the Giants and season is probably over.
Trying to enjoy this for now, but tough.
nola has really good dbs actually
Based on what?
They haven’t been good this year at least.
lewis and byrd were out until today
They have forgotten about Kenan Lewis already… shame
True, but that front seven? Also, while Lewis can play, he’s been dinged. Byrd has been the biggest disappointment in the NFL so it’s not like it’s a truly great secondary.
Rob Ryan has been one of the worst defensive coordinators in the entire NFL. Just not a good team.
will agree not a strong defense. but we have bad wrs so evens out
no one is saying we are now SB bound. Enjoy the moment.
We forced 5 turnovers today, when the jets defense forces 5 turnovers they are the talk of the NFL.., time for Fletcher Cox and this defense to start getting some credit it deserves… Sure the saints are a bad team, but Brees is a hall of fame Champion QB, and we forced a few from him not his teammates…
…
The secondary better get the credit they deserve because Brees gets the ball out so fast, in order for us to get sacks on Brees and ultimately force the turnovers, the coverage had to be real tight, we were taking away Brees first read forcing him to hold the ball so we could sack and pressure him into turnover
New post up.
Gotta show love n Respect to the two Tackles.., forget how they played, who they played, just the fact that they were able to go the entire game and seem to look well going into next game is HUGE.. I had no idea if they would be able to get thru this game, but they gutted it out and the OL had its most complete game of the season run and pass blocking well enough to put up 500 plus yards which hasn’t been easy this year.. Tobin, Barbre and Kelce all looked good pulling In the run game, and best of all, the OL was able to play better while also eliminating all the penalties that have been killing us..
..
Cox said that this was the first time at any level where he had a 3 sack game, and talked about How the coaches always have us working on our force fumble technique..
.,
Seems like MS2 might have earned himself a few mods
Snaps next week..
