PHI 17 , NYG 7
Posted: October 19th, 2015 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 810 Comments »The Giants looked great on their opening drive. Then things got weird. Penalties. Turnovers. Strange plays. By both teams. The Eagles were able to out-ugly the Giants and build a 10-point lead.
Eagles get the ball to open the 2nd half.
Love the way the D took over the game in the 2nd quarter. More of that please.
Sam Bradford has been money after halftime. He needs to play a lot better. He stunk in the 1st half.
_
Yeah!
Ursher.
Watching the original “Halloween” at halftime, not a star wars fan…..did the trailer look good?
Amazing actually (I’m a gigantic nerd btw).
hey, me too!
me too, but more of the horror movie fan kind of nerd
Some of it looked cool, though the fatal flaw of episodes 1-3 were two-dimensional characters. Well, one of many fatal flaws. No sign of personality for anyone in the trailer, but we can still hope.
i’m assuming George Lucas directed?
Nope…
oh perhaps some hope yes
I think it was JJ Abrams
sounds right, he did the star trek movie a few years ago i think
That’s the biggest reason for hope… he did not direct this one. Yes, Lucas did episodes 1-3 (and did not direct the originals).
Word…
Such a weird half, feels like we should be losing or drawing with how bad Bradford has been and yet we have a 10 point ball and the ball to start the next half.
At the same time, 3 turnovers and a turnover on downs, plus defense suffocating in second quarter, to come out of the first half with only a 10 point lead is a disaster. If we pick up the play we might be able to protect that lead and pull out a W. Otherwise I hope we got 2 turnovers left in the tank
i wish the eagles O would look as good as the new star wars trailer
girl: i’ve heard stories that our offense used to be good, are they true
han solo: yeah, all of them.
My most anticipated movie in years.
Time to break out the new secret offense
can chip play qb
I should be happy with the lead but unless Bradford rises to the level of at least journeyman, we are in trouble
Sam Badford needs something what is it?
moxi
Foles pills
I think he took the shitty Foles pills. He needs the good Nick Foles pills.
Nick Foles ate them all already
squat exercises
to use that arm strength god gave him and stop pussyfooting into throws
I don’t think Bradford has the psychological makeup to be a top notch QB. He doesn’t have that “it” factor of the good ones.
That was one ugly half of football by both teams. Kind of symbolic so far on how the NFC East teams have played this year.
I cant wait for Star Wars
Grease was a better movie.
Sucky thing is that even if we win, sports radio will be unbearable to listen to this week
Wouldn’t be so disappointed by some positive run plays in the 2nd half…doubtful as our TOP has not been a factor in wearing down the Giants….really need to start of the 2nd half with a good drive and good throws by Bradford please…
Run the ball please!
Focus.. 3 and 3…
we couldn’t possibly be worse off with foles & shady !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need some Celek
bradford will bounce pass it to him or hit him in the ankles
Foles hasn’t played too well either.
agreed. but we’d save 15 mil and have all that team consistency
One other person is typing ….
bradford was a risk. doesnt seem like its working out but worth taking i think
i agree, he’s running out of time to show he can play
Yeah., we would have wasted that second round pick.
I didn’t like it from the first I heard of it. I wish I was wrong but it looks like a big mistake
I can certainly see the argument for taking the risk, but I personally disagreed with the decision then and still disagree with it now. I never bought the idea that Bradford’s struggles were simply due to the team around him.
i disagreed initially but i was all aboard the Sammy train after the preseason
He certainly played well in the preseason, but even then I was saying that we were talking about a very small sample size and under very favorable conditions (vanilla defenses).
I don’t agree ..however I do agree and am fine w your reasoning.
We get ball to open 2nd half
3 turnovers. Wow. this is a very opportunistic defense.
C’mon Huff, don’t stop your feet. Keep running.
I really feel like Chip needs to draft and develop his own qb in the first 3 rounds.
If he wasn’t sold on foles he should of taken bridgewater or Carr.
I agree. Would have been nice.
probably didn’t know he wasn’t sold. should have taken hundley but at that point he had sammy b.
Or Grayson.
Yup
Totally agree but Cook, Goff may be gone by our pick. Carson Wentz is intriguing but probably not NFL ready. Class is kinda average.
huff hurt?
Cooper hurt?
Cooooooooooop
so who else can play WR…
did Bradford shot put that throw?
lol, time to move Murray to WR and put Sproles in the slot.
Murray might be our best pass catcher
we’re going to have to run 2 TE sets the rest of the game.
we can’t do that, ertz can’t block!
Works for me
yeah that’s not actually the worst thing in the world.
Man, a better throw and Cooper is gone and healthy.
True
So, there are pluses and minuses?
bradford not confident in his throws
Who knew we’D come to dread Cooper getting hurt
He under threw the TD to Cooper. Lucky he was so open
Bradford would be worthless if DJax was on his team
The turnover doesn’t happen either.
But.. but… repeated accuracy…. barf.
Why can’t Bradford make deep throws?
not confident in his throws
How quickly can Rasheed Bailey get to Philly?
who did we gather from the stands to go five wide?
We bring in Westbrook
Who is the last WR active?
Ajiratutu
who who? jk i know who that is
WTF KELCE
he is stoned. WTF?
Who replaced Kelce and why does he suck?
Really..
Kelce needs to stop doing interviews and get his head out of his ass
mathews had to be down.
Thought he got hit in the helmet before he was. Live anyways not seen a replay.
Shit
Jordan….Matthews….
Add more fuel to the Matthew’s dumpster
but, but, but he’s such a hard worker!
He was born in the wrong time. If only he had that stick’um glue like his cousin.
Jordan Matthews is not having a good year. At all.
and so it begins, Mathews has been a bust his second year, cant catch, cant hold on
It was matter of time, he was holding it loose all game
Awful turnover….would be nice to see a replay before the cut to a commercial…
We will lose. And we should. Disgusting.
Back away from the bridge railing. Let the defense look slightly less dominating first.
Too much pressure on D. Bad coaching bad players bad team. Ugh.
How was he not down?
We’d be able to tell you if they didn’t IMMEDIATELY go to a commercial.
JMatt is a disaster.
Can’t catch.
Can’t make a play.
Can’t do the bare minimum.
All talk.
well he doesnt really talk either…
He does.
Not like DJax talked.
But he talks.
boy djax would be helpful right about now, wonder why we got rid of him for no reason…
Didn’t know he was lighting it up for Washington….
when hes on the field he does
When was that again…
do you remember when he played us last year?
That was last year…what is he doing now this year other than not coming into camp in shape and getting or milking injuries…which is probably the same he would be doing for us…
that doesn’t change the fact we got rid of a pro bowl WR for nothing, you need talent to win
56 rec 1169 yds 6 tds in 15 games
2014 stats
gtfoh
nah, it would be severe pain watching Bradford underthrow him
haha
70 yard button hooks
Wow you guys are acting like little bitchs
What a joke. Get some talent at WR. Im glad we wasted 2 higher picks on 3&4 round receiver talent.
Does Matthews try to lose us the game every week??
He is such a let down this year
I was lost for words when he started going east. I’m like..THE FIRST DOWN IS RIGHT THERE WTF WHY DO YOU MAKE ME HATE YOU EVEN MORE.
Jordan Matthews is as much of a fraud as Freddie Mitchell.
More like Reggie Brown.
Reminds me a lot of Reggie Brown, but Matthews does have bettter RAC skills.
Y”know, when he actually holds onto the ball.
So true. I didn’t think I would miss Jason Avant until now.
I was thinking of him, too.
JMatt has had a couple “WHOA” moments at least.
You can see it with him, that’s what’s so frustrating.
But he can’t catch and he’s not tough.
lets not get carried away
If we didn’t have injuries at WR, I’d put Matthews on the bench.
defense cant hold forever
hi all just got here. Boy draw plays seem to kill us.
Not happy with Jordan Matthews.
where you been, glad you’re here
Monday is bowling league night
So Chip invested some very high picks in the last few years on WRs. He dumped DJax and JMac walked. Are we happy with our WR corps?
Not today.
is Marcus Smith playing ??
but Jordan hicks is a wonderful player !!
catching up on the comments below you would think we are down by 10.
maybe we’re just a defensive power now. Maybe offense isn’t our thing anymore.
Wouldnt that be wild?
I be okay with that, if the HC understood that
Cox in your face Eli.
Lets get Sproles some touches on offense!
If only the offense can get out of their own way. Kelce has stalled 3 drives on his own.
Kelce time
now that’s funny, true and funny
I’m weeping on the inside.
Lots of talk of cleaning up mistakes but nothing to show for it.
One of those things, if you focus on your mistakes, just makes for other mistakes, like whack a mole. Seems to come and go by the year with this team
how many times has kelce forgot the snap count this year
I don’t understand it.
Wrs dropping like flies
Aaron Rodgers is the doppelganger of Nicholas Cage as an actor.
I can see that
The D is fun to watch..
I fucking love this defence…. imagine if we start to put things together on offence. So frustrating that we are ‘wasting’ their good work at the moment
We are winning it could be worse
every pass should go to #86
86 and 43
Why did he slide like a weiner though?
Ertz needs to take over this game.
Still waiting for him to breakout. Lol
Did Ertz just slide? Before the first down too? Or was his leg hit?
Leg was hit.
Ok. I was going to say… TE can’t be sliding to avoid contact.
Guh this is a sloppy game.
was that kelce
LJ
Johnson I think
Called on #65, so yes, Johnson.
penalties are killing us, among other things
And them
This offense is maddening
does maddening mean terrible?
this offense is everybit as bad as 98
3 and out. 3 and out. 3 and out.
dumbasses
This is just awful offensive play.
Our offense blows.
A Joke.
Lovely
SLOOOOPPPPYYYY
This offense is so poorly coached. Absolute amateur crap
It’s maddening. Seriously, what the heck happened to Chip and the offense???
And what happened to those ultra fast practices = more reps?
omg so fugly
that’s a first down! LOL your team is suckier than ours!
woohoo first down!
Ahahaha
6 games in the year and we still have such sloppy play…
“I’ll see your screw up, and raise you.”
i cant believe how many times ive heard announcers talk about how sloppy the eagles are this year.
Tirico us right, this game is really poorly played.
Seriously… the giants are trying to make us win. I’m going to be really frustrated hearing people try to defend this team as being good because we are first in the NFC Least.
We would very much be the tallest midget.
I don’t really care let’s win.
I just don’t think you’ll hear too much of that from this board.
This board is definitely the best at keeping things in perspective (hence why I rarely venture elsewhere), but I meant in a general sense.
Wins are wins and D has been good but to some extent you’re right.
bet Bradford throws a pick
Flag anywhere?
Woot
Run fucking up!
Huff is back in
He held onto the ball! *slow clap*
i expect to see a flag every time we complete a pass
yeah every time i see the yellow line in the corner of my vision i think its a flag…
please just fall down
matthews haters need to relax
Matthews needs to play a lot better.
Agreed. But people are calling him a “bust.” A lil extreme.
Yeh #81!!!!
did someone on the Giants sideline just say “they only run two F’n plays, lets get em”?
Huff is so tough. Jeebus.
Tuff Huff.
Imagine if we had Martavis Bryant instead of Huff.
We would have 20 drops instead of like 12.
Imagine if we had A.J. Green, Megatron, OBJ, Julio Jones or Alshin Jeffry!
get out of here we need Josh Gordon and Boldyn!!
Murray looks more decisive today.
hang on to that ball Demarco
i swear i saw the ball get ripped out of his hands and flipped out
I saw that too. I expect the worse.
That was the biggest hole I’ve seen all year for a run play.
Thought it be a bigger play
The team showing some signs of life and some heart. Run angry Huff and Murray.
Josh Huff will have 2x the career of Jordan Matthews.
i’m gonna remember this!
ya know 10 years from now
I hope so.
huff is strong
It looked like they pushed the GMen all the way passed the sticks.
yes!!!!!
thank you.
Thank you! finally
MURRAY!!!!!!!!!
ric flair yell, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
No endzone INT or crappy sack this trip around, eh?
finally!!
Nice drive, but we should be up by 30. Lol.
dear demarco. i thank you and your parents for your birth.
That’s more like it
Yes we all feel like winners again!
This is what I expected when we got this 3 headed monster. AND EAT DIRT MERRIWEATHER.
finally!
Someone tell Bradford to not slap Murray on the helmet. I’m worried about Bradford’s hand. and knee actually.
Someone tell CK that we need more 2 TE sets.
can i upvote x 100
Gotta be honest ,2 TE sets put our best 11 on the field for now.
which WR comes off?
all of them
Featherstone.
Nah, more screens
Don’t quote me on this but I swear he told us that we would be doing that more when we hired him.
Best two drives of the game sparked by turnover penalties by the Giants
ok looked better especially the OL
More double TE set please, thank god for WR injuries
I think we just saw the moment where we run away with the game.
Giants looked like they checked out a loooong time ago. That INT by ‘meco really sapped the life out of them. We have just been so inept on offense all night.
More Murray for fourth quarter
More Celek
More cowbell
Needs more dog.
Less Matthews!
love the play calling on this drive
MOAR TE’S!!!!
Giants linemen on both sides of the ball seem to be wearing down
their offensive line never seems to be able to handle our dline.
I love that Bradley Cooper is sitting in the literal seat that Roseman had for years…
was roseman up there?
Before he got the boot, he was always in the box right next to Lurie
can he play GM
Let the flood gates open!
Dont sleep on Eli.
or with him. especially with him
Two more ints
yep I’d like more points please.
who?
They love to call this an ugly game, but our D is balling. Our O is generally hideous. But it responds well to personal fouls at least lol
najee
Are we the seahawks?
IG!
That better not be roughing the passer
thats what i thought was coming
Manning just threw the ball at Barwin’s nuts.
We have the best ILB corp in football. Btw.
Miraculous call
His second IG tonight, I think.
Yep. I think Kempski’s rants about how he got away with one last week on the winning drive may have brought some attention to the cause, lol
I think we talked to the refs about Eli’s crap before the game
they are really bad attempts at a pass. He is lucky one hasn’t been picked off.
Curry just ran through 3 guys
Vinny is a beast
cmon Sproles
Hand it to demarco about 6 times and TD
Minor point, but stat keepers should mark that as a sack for Curry. It’s ridiculous not to give him credit there.
Absolutely. Forcing an intentional grounding IS a sack.
Through a double team and a hold, beast
still need one more score
More touchdowns please.
how many sacks do we have
3 + 2 intentional groundings
I have one, average
Their D is starting to get tired
Yep and eagles d line is all pumped up
It appears Flowers is wilting.
Please dont do anything stupid right now
…. and there we go…
MOAR TES!
I love the Black Uni’s
I would go deep soon
well, maybe not
to which team?
you should have told cooper
and just like that
WHAT IN THE FUCK WAS THAT
What the shit?
Bad coverage on that punt.
Nice punt there
WTF
OH FUCK YOU COOPER
Wooooow.
And just like that
Why? See Cooper is still shit.
is #90 playing ?? anyone see him ??
for real, i thought he was getting better?
Copper scuks
Clearly a miscommunication, but considering Merriweather was able to just stand under that pass to catch the INT, i’m not sure that isn’t an INT either way.
Hard to say when your WR cuts his route and isn’t in the neighborhood.
cooper mis anticipated the underthrow
Chip is just too smart to hand the ball off against a dead tired d
Went for the kill, I respect that, but god, ugly
why not keep running? you have their DL worn down.
Well that was bad
cant make it easy
I don’t understand this team. I swear this team should be better than it is, yet here we are.
exactly my sentiments
PERFECT FIELD POSITION AND YOU FUCK IT UP COOPER!
nah it was Bradford first non underthrow
was that Cooper or Bradford or both?
freaking andy reid’s fault !!
I blame Maxwell.
Cooper smartly played the underthrow
back shoulder throw?
back shoulder 15yrds back
Stupid Black Uniforms
I can’t blame any one player, o-line penalties, receivers fumbling and running wrong routes, Qb looking lost. It all points to poorly prepared team.
So frustrating to give them the ball like that
Maxwell got burned there again
Do you think Curry told Cooper he needs to pad his stats for contract negotiations?
I can go back to my usual opinion of cooper
Ouch. That could have been a TD right there.
Bradford is on pace for more turnovers this year than Foles was last year.
bad max got away with ANOTHER pi
you could combine both these teams, the pats would win by 60
Maxwell was fortunate.
More Murray when d line is tired
As a biased fan who doesn’t recognize penalties against my team, where was the flag against Maxwell?
11 game balls (none to the offense)
sproles hurt. fuck
Why did maxwell put his arm on him there? He was in perfect position to stand there and make a play
Concussion
Could be
Shit not Sproles
God I hop not
Doesnt matter, win this game, the division, wont beat Green Bay. Chip has a long way to go.
Yes maxwell. Oh looked lik a hold
Um we can’t lose Sproles.
Concussion…his head hit the turf hard
More of a pain reaction than dizzy though. Hope for the best…
I’m pretty sure Thad Lewis could have led this offense to more points tonight.
Chad Lewis too.
Daniel day Lewis
Jerry Lewis
this was a good team effort
CS Lewis
Louis CK
meriweather lewis
Sacajewia
man, Chad is one of my all time favorites. It’s always great whenever you can reference him.
same
run the Damn ball Andy!!!
fumblin’ bumblin’ game my God
Oh holy shit this is awful.
let’s just get out of here with a win.
my god we are trying to lose
just gotta shake the head…
I mean, really?
We had an extra day to prep for this shit?
Wow
It’s a penalty Sam. throw the fucking ball
Yep throw it far. Let Cooper watch it fly.
Seriously?
Bradford you actually suck worse in the second half, you bum
so 6 of the ugliest games that i’ve seen by the eagles.
so 6 of the ugliest games that i’ve seen by the eagles offense.
might be one of the best games i’ve ever seen by the defense.
Well bradford is not the answer, this isn’t rust. This is suckage
I meant to say less murray
*slow clap*
Tonight’s MVP = Giant’s Discipline.
if it wasn’t for the giants and their penalites…………..well you know what I mean
Am I the only one who is happy when you see Murray get 3 yards?
Lucky if we hold on. Dont deserve the W
sure we do.
Yej but neither do tje Giants.
yes we do. Defense.
More Mathews!
this is the most uninspiring 24-7 lead i can ever remember
Gotta give D some credit.
for sure, im more referencing the O
i was just thinking that. never been this frustrated for a 24-7 lead going into the fourth in a divisional game for first place
honestly after the beginning of year losses this feels pretty good. I’d rather be up 30 but this is good.
oh for sure, not complaining about the actual score
the problem is more thinking of the future. we keep saying we’re going to fix the sloppiness but we dont.
we can’t win the SB this week. Let’s take one step at a time. I’m frustrated too but we are beating the division leader soundly.
ok Bradford sucks though. JC.
Don’t know how Mathews doesn’t have more carries. He’s injured and looks faster
Mathews Mathews marcus miles& murray
just forget murray’s contract, play matthews.
forget byron maxwell’s contract, bench him.
Mathews’ is more injury prone. You must have depth with him.
fooled the camera man
And me.
miles austin play that worked i have seen it all now
Bradford made the right read on that packaged play.
I can see for Miles and Miles
I could walk 500 miles, and do it quicker tha Austin runs his routes.
I can haver 500 miles faster
Today we owe it to the WRs that we don’t expect to do anything every week.
Bradford still sux, had a td there to ertz, and missed him, yeah, I think Bradford is terrible
But is he terrible?
yes, how can you say he’s not, look at the whole year so far, I think the knee injury is in his head, and it should be, but im not a Bradford fan at all
I do agree.
Sproles in locker room, concussion
Bummer
Huge bummer. Who is the backup PR?
Cooper?
Mostert.
Oh, wait…
Hankins down with an injury: Hurt feelings.
Return: probable.
His shoelace is untied.
Fake injury
Is it wrong that I’m still super worried
NOT AT ALL
It wasn’t too long ago we had a 17 point 4th quarter lead against the giants at home and lost in OT
tks you’re responsible for int and if we lose haha. Not Sam.
I am worried. Not super worried, but worried.
Sproles was in on the 7 yard run by Matthews….
Reporting what Eskin said on radio
Does anyone do that as much as the Giants?
I hate Bradford
told you he sucked, he sucks
fucking bradford.
and the TV is off.
This is bull shit
I don’t know what to say anymore. Awful.
So whenever a dense player wants they can lie down and get help stretching while millions watching just wait
DAMNIT, why throw that ball, he’s not open, it’s short. Bradford killing me in fantasy.
ertz caught it for him
heDID!! pinned it against his facemask.. CHip should have thrown the flag ..that was in Ertz’s possession when he hit the end zone.. TD! ha I love it
oh look another underthrown ball in the endzone
Vick was more accurate then this
ertz caught that!
Need to see sanchez right now.
they should say Bradford is dinged and let Sanchez finish this game.
Aren’t you looking forward to the Rams making our second round pick next spring?
Bradford is clearly a downgrade from 2013 Foles. It’s starting to look like he might actually be a downgrade from crappy 2014 Foles as well.
Giants; You should win
Eagles: no, please we’d like you to.
Giants: no really you go ahead.
Eagles: by all means, here’s the ball.
Giants: thank you.
Almost
I think there should be a QB controversey
Completely disagree. Controversy implies uncertainty about your starting QB. I am certain he sucks.
Sam Bradford sucks.
Can Ertz get credit for a catch by pinning it on the defender’s head?
If he came down with it
he did until he bounced off the turf
He sorta caught it for him huh?
we gotta get a qb for next year
We gotta get a head coach for next year
FIXED
let’s stop with the let’s fire Chip stuff. There’s no rationale basis for that argument.
Chip the coach, maybe not. Chip the GM has destroyed this team.
right the team sucks. No talent anywhere.
Could have used the FG
Just poor decision to force that pass….no need to go for the TD on tha play….just get the first….
I wish I were a Michigan fan
How many times have we asked ourselves this year “is this the ugliest game I’ve seen?” Yeah, at some point, we’re going to have to give another QB a shot. Sloppy play all-around, but it starts with Sam.
might be time to cut losses.
How many times? This will be #6.
Bradford had an easy first down completion on that play too
So frustrating to watch this shizz….
Yep
A rookie can play as well as Bradford.
I cannot understand how bad he is
cant believe theres another quarter of this garbage
atleast our d looks dominant
Put in Sanchez
Chip press conference: “i’m sure sam would like some throws back”
I want that second round pick back, chip!
I miss Nick Foles.
He isn’t the answer.
fletcher cox!
If our Dline wasn’t crazy dominant, we’d be hurting.
Decent bull rush by Smith.
can we still get a 1st from the Browns for Sam
That would of been a deal of the decade
probably two firsts
Holy shit that was Sproles.
Guess no concussion for Sproles… whew
great news
we should start huddling and slow this thing down.
We should start doing whatever doesn’t involve Bradford throwing an interception.
That is what a “convention” offense would do.
agreed and if we could give Demarco some momentum that would be huge for us ahead
eerily similar to last year…Eli getting beat up, our QB throwing dumb int’s
If we pass it anymore, then I hope Kelly gets drug tested, run it the rest of the game
Full marks to the defense.
Sproles rolls
Wheel to Sproles
I want a wheel route here.
I do’nt want Bradford to throw the ball.
He meant trick play. Lane would throw it
Acceptable.
Another pic and Bradford ties for league lead with Manning….Peyton
yeah so much for a guy that protects the ball. I need Sanchez!!
Mark Herzlich, played against him in high school, was a beast!
Hate the Giants, mad respect for Herzlich
yup, guys been through a lot
I actually would like to get Herzlich. Feel like he’s a good rotational/Role player.
Run ball. Chew clock. Football 101. Don’t get cute.
random thought:
obviously young randall, young mcnabb, and 2010 vick would be ideal for this offense, but what about 07 garcia? i think jeff would have been awesome in this system.
fuck i thought i saw peters run into there.
Mariota is a better QB today imagine a couple years from now in Chips offense my god
if that trade involved fletcher cox i would never do it.
I would depending on the other demands. A 3-4 DE isn’t worth a franchise QB. Cox is good/very good but he isn’t someone you build a scheme or team around either.
the picks and other players involved besides cox were ridiculous .
i disagree with your valuation of fletch. he is a special player that has all pro potential and this eagles d line is one of the best units in football. you build teams starting on the lines.
bottom line, it was just too much to give up for someone not named andrew luck/aaron rodgers.
that is/was so disappointing. It would have been beautiful.
close my eyes when he passes
Miles Austin has a couple nice grabs tonight. Go figure.
Dont worry. He’ll throw a pick in tje endzone.
Bend and break offense
The run to the line of scrimmage and all look to the sideline is the stupidest looking offense ever
That wasn’t a pick that was an eagles td, watch it again hertz caught it against the defenders helmet and controlled it to the ground.
Didn’t maintain control through the ground though. And Collins did.
U sure? 100% sure? Worth a red flag to me
It was automatically reviewed.
I guess, such a bitter pill
call that a TD and Coughlin has a heart attack.
I don’t care if he had a TD tonight. Cooper sucks.
You’re not wrong but he’s among the least of our issues on offense.
At least no pick
the sturge!
i wonder if chip was trying to boost sam’s confidence by being aggressive earlier
He needs to boost his decision making. Can’t this be like a video game where he can earn points in like accuracy or luck?
he maxxed out his points in the dumbfounded look category
He’s not reading the defenses (he says obviously) but like over half the time. I don’t even get it.
how about that Colts play last night. How do you have a WR as a center, and how does he think it’s ok to snap the ball?
The second part is the key. The most important part of lining up in that formation is knowing not to snap the ball. Ever.
that’s Pagano’s fault.
You try to confuse the defense into not having enough guys to cover the ball. Or maybe jump offside. New England was confused but got the coverage right… at which point you just take the delay. The incomprehensible part was snapping the ball. Mental screwup but by a team who probably doesn’t do that type of thing often.
then don’t do it. All the guys were off the line anyway.
I wonder if Agholor would have made a difference.
for sure, if he held on to a couple balls his RAC skills would have killed this giants D
Nope, Pope haters beware our WR standings. Only guy with pro-stats working part time out of the slot. It’s bad
Can he play center? Actually sloppy play and turnovers are the problem. We are dominating the LOS
I once heard that you always know the prior week’s Eagles score just by walking around the city for an afternoon and seeing their mood. That may not be true this week…
The score says this is a blow out. I have never been this frustrated during a blow out.
I’ve been a lot more frustrated during losses.
Yup. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
Of course. But the point is that we will be seeing losses more often than we will see wins unless something major changes for this offense.
We’ve had the agony of reading about both wins so far this year; if we hold on here this will be no different. There are lots of positives but man I wish the list of stuff we have to fix would get shorter for once.
ugh if only we had a fucking QB. so hard to find a franchise guy.
how are those 1-2 guys on our practice squad. Any chance at all for them?
no
Watching Bradford is just plain frustrating.
Time to get aggressive and hit Eli (again)
Eagles D is winning me my Fantasy game by 1 point… cannot have a garbage time TD now!
oh it’s coming. I’d say 98% chance.
We had one and traded him. 27 and 2 requires talent and even FoLes numbers last year were better than the bad INT’s Bradford is throwing
wonder if we’ll see sanchize at the end of the game, that’d be nice.
Giants have 23 yards this half and we can’t stop bitching.
Eagles’ defense has done a nice job and made some great adjustments after half. Outside of that opening drive, the Giants have been stymied.
a great job*
Normally I would just say Eagles’ fans are being the typical buzzkills harping on the issues in a 27-7 game but they are right tonight.
For as bad as the Eagles have been, the Giants have been just as putrid.
They have. Tallest midget. That is the Eagles tonight and the NFC East in general.
This is an all time great defensive performance. And I’ve enjoyed none of it
Prevent
Eli had a flashback there
Nolan Carroll just Malcom Jenkins’d that ball.
NOOO NOT THE SHITTY PREVENT DEFENCE BILLY.
Just keep doing what was working!
nolan is having a really good game
Think he’s been our best CB in a while, not saying much but he’s doing well.
If only we had him when Bradley Fletcher was letting everything get completed on him.
ha that’s funny I see what you did there.
Good open field tackle by Hicks.
niiice open field tackle by hicks
My DVR just stopped taping. I’m watching live, but why in 2015 does Comcast DVR not know the game is not over. This needs a Congressional investigation or something.
To be fair, this game is over.
I don’t think that’s why it stopped.
maybe just a new SP, fuck comcast
My gawd
would be happy to have nolan for a couple more years.
Smell a garbage TD by the giants
I hope not.
would win my fantasy game with a garbage td by manning but i still dont want to give it to them
Hicks just has a nose for the ball. It’s insane.
It’s a revelation.
Jordan Hicks is a godsend
Which guy do rush back next week, I’m guessing kendricks if Meco is really hurt
neither, let Goode and Hicks play….bring someone up from PS or sign someone
We need to win though and Carolina is good
yea i know but i just don’t wanna rush either guy back just to get hurt again
Hicks may be DROY at this point.
Flag
I’m not sure you can take Hicks off the field when Alonso and Kendricks come back.
You can’t
I want them all healthy enough to find out.
good problem to have
Wha happen
announcers crying for a low hit on Manning
Eli being Eli, judging by that replay.
That was a pass?
Apparently
Maybe after watching this game, the refs have no idea what a pass looks like anymore
watching eli get his ass blasted in the pocket never gets old
How is that NOT intentional grounding, if that’s a pass?
Dunno
Happy for the W. Would love to see them put it together finally.
How much are the Giants paying Tirico to do their games anyway?
can we count on bradford to kneel properly
might blow an acl
i’m just hoping he doesnt throw an INT while kneeling
Yes he was coached by Joe Pisarcik
too soon.
-every giants fan ever
why is sproles still in the game? don’t risk the injury
Seeing Barner at this point wouldn’t be a bad thing. Was he active for this game?
idk that’s a good question
Think he is with all the injuries
thx
“I’M ABOUT TO BE SACKED! QUICK RANDOMLY THROW THE BALL IN SOME RANDOM DIRECTION!” ~ Eli Manning
I love that Eli.
Hearing gruden after that first giants drive, it was like the best offense ever assembled
Coming into this game I was a bit worried. They were looking good and Eli was getting the ball out quickly.
I sounded like that as well
Hes a blabbermouth
You got 3 and a half minutes of live pro football and an untouchable lead. Try stuff out Chip, stuff ain’the working, this Is valuable lab time to figure it out
What the fuck just happened to independence hall?
Defense is legit. Great job by Billy.
We’re gonna have to pay Fletch a gazillion dollars.
Chip will try to trade him because he will want too much money, therefore not fit the #culture.
I’m joking obviously…. I hope.
As funny as that is, Chip does reward the players who buy in. Barwin is a prime example.
Maybe he will cut him…he is black…
we can’t keep hiding maxwell, at some point it’s going to kick our ass hard, and i mean harder than it already has
he is a penalty machine right now
and a WR turnstile when he isn’t drawing a holding/PI flag
really is Asomugha 2.0
He also eats lunch in his car?
wasnt that DRC?
no
Could Bradley Cooper at least act like a QB?
best play action in the game
If we wouldn’t have thought it was still warmups we would have two straight home shutouts against these clowns…in lame black unis even
Great run by Murray
shut out by the D after early score. well done.
100 for Murray!!!
nice and looks like no late TD by Giants. congrats.
Hoooorayyyyy!
That last run was good, and he got down to let the clock run.
Actually impressive vs 2nd best run defense
that was crap. If you have the worst passing D of course people will just choose not to run.
DVOA ranked them second as well. And it was based on YPC which is a better indicator not Yards per game.
Worst 1st place team in the NFL. yay!
I’ll take it for now
That might be the Colts, they suck too but got those 3 division wins ( no but really it’s us)
Maybe. But colts have a QB. Therefore they have hope.
Colts are threatening. Speaking of which, where was our Swinging Gate?
This D is borderline incredible. I wish we could run the ball a bit better and hit a few play action passes.
This was one of the ugliest games I’ve ever seen. Glad we were on the winning end of it.
Is Stephen Morris ready yet?
wait, wtf is GEAGLE?
In a rocking chair muttering “the POPE, the POPE, the POPE….”
cool, just wondering
WIN!!!!!
win’s a win, hell yeah!
I know they can play better but we beat the Giants by 20. That’s a good win.
“A dominant performance” – every sports reporter that didn’t actually watch the game
with regards to our front 7 it was
And 3/4 of secondary
The defense was dominant.
and now I am zooming thru the DVR to find the Star Wars commercial I missed.
Nolan Carroll — Gruden Grinder.
They mentioned the D being good, both whiffed on noticing the D line. Oof
First snap of the game, Chucky said “I like this offensive line.”
At no point did he correct that statement.
wow Carroll gets gruden grinder, didn’t know he covered ODB all second half, held him basically catch-less.
Nolan played a great game.
Defense was absolutely dominant z play like that and you’ll always compete but offense was bad again especially Sam although not quite as bad as earlier in the year… Let’s beat Carolina
Scary thing is Carolina’s D is WAY better than GNATS.
But then again their offense isn’t better
But their offense isn’t. So that helps.
So is the Jets, Football is dumb, best not to think too much about it. We just watched a blow out if you can believe it.
Again. Football is dumb
So was the Jets
It’s cool guys. We just need to trade Sam Bradford for a real QB and Jordan Matthews for a real WR and we’ll be in good shape.
You think maybe:
JAX would trade Allen Robinson for JMatt?
PITT would trade Martavis Bryant for JMatt?
Bryant’s got a drug problem and 4 game susp. there is zero chance. Why do people think Kelly is bringing in player like that?
Just especially scary worrying about throwing into the end zone.
yeah seriously
Been like that in Philly for a while now. Vick was unreal bad for that. Foles was magic with it briefly. Big QB to big WR/TE seemed like the antidote but that went away the next year. And now Bradford.
We won the game by being not as terrible as the Giants….i’ll take it.
better than losing to the cowboys in the less terrible game
Defense came to play, ST did well. The offense sucked. You can win a lot of games in this league like that, sometimes even a superbowl.
See Broncos
I know it doesn’t matter but I like seeing people who picked against the eagles in the pregame show look silly in the post game
Do they really look silly after this performance though? Yes, we beat the giants but we looked awful on offense.
Don’t agree Bradford had a poor game, but felt we moved the ball well. Running game was good.
Well as in they have to stand their and try to find good things to say after spewing negatives before
I guess that’s my point. I didn’t see what they were saying before the game, but if they were negative about this team and in particular this offense, they can continue to say that even after the win. Yes the ultimate result is not what they predicted but if they were arguing we are a bad team, they still could be right.
Yes, but all of them completely overlooked the defense.
So, when the Giants took the first drive in for a touchdown, who considered the possibility that it would be their last points?
Not me!
not me, i had them scoring 24 this game
I really thought this was going to be a shootout. Boy was I way off, neither offense could get it going.
I called a 27-24 Eagles win.
I was sort of hoping for like last week… nothing until a garbage time TD. Wasn’t expecting it, but the Giants O can out-ugly our prevent D.
Give me credit, I did predict a blow out in my mind…just uhh, small details
It has to be said. As much as I hated the Billy Davis signing when Chip Kelly became head coach, what he has done this season has been nothing short of impressive. We have been very good on D and that is in spite of how inept our offense has been for large parts of this season.
Yup. Felt the same way.
yeah time for me to start giving CK they side eye.
I read some articles today that Chip Kelly had the formula for beating the Giants, but honestly, it’s Bill Davis who has that formula.
EDIT: I still hate Bill Davis as the coordinator, but complaining about it tonight is absurd.
If you can get Media Mike to sign off, Davis’ acceptance will be complete.
F Damontre Moore.
BTW, Sam looked better with the packaged plays and made some good reads from the couple that I saw. Maybe that can push him to start making better decisions? Please? Maybe?
Some home team calls tonight. Ugliest season of football in a long time all around the league
I think the way to summarize the game is that the Giants lost. We get the W, but I don’t feel like we WON. Defense played great don’t want to take anything away from a gray performance there, but our offense is horrible and shows no signs of improving. 20 points against a Giants D with how many injuries? Pfffffttt.
You’re right but I prefer to think of it as a game that the defense went out & took for themselves.
In Chip’s presser: chip is calling out the wide receivers for running the wrong route on a few really head scratching plays.
Still learning offense lol, he’s all in with the Bradford ship
Yeah, I think he’s hitched his wagon to Bradford. This could end badly for both of them. I hope not.
Yeah, coaching has nothing to do with it.
You mean the WRs and RB coaches?
Seems like the big glaring ongoing issue is chemistry between Bradford and receivers which could be just young and new recivers running wrong routes. Good news is the awful run blocking seems to be history
I would feel better about this explanation if Sam could hit open WRs in stride when they’re both clearly on the same page.
Is Chip 100% positive that Sanchez doesn’t run this offense better? Maybe he should take a looky loo at Sanchez with the 1’s during practice one day? Bradford just doesn’t look the part and inspires no confidence whatsoever.
I imagine the Eagles would be 3-3 right now if Sanchez was the qb.
It’s becoming maddening. You can clearly see his talent. But for every great throw he makes he matches it with some boneheaded pick.
Funny, I seem to recall saying this once before.
The way Bradford is playing, I think Sanchez would be better. The argument for Bradford though (outside of in invesent) is that Bradford’s ceiling is WAY higher than Sanchez’s. Sanchez’s ceiling isn’t high enough to get you anywhere meaningful. The question now is, how likely is it that Bradford will ever actually match his potential. With each passing week, it seems less and less likely and at some point you give up on it and just go with Samchez.
I still want to support Bradford but I just don’t see a strong arm or good touch or accuracy. Even if his decisions are poor if the ball flew out of his hand looking like an elite arm threw it I would have more hope. He just seems to push the ball somehow, a little wobbly and then of course we have no idea where ball will end up
He has a strong arm, he may lose his mechanics but the arm strength is there.
Trust me, Sanchez isn’t the answer.
The sad fact of the matter is that we very likely still do not have a franchise QB on this roster & are nowhere close to getting one anytime soon.
I fully agree with that (and was trying to make a similar point above). Sanchez is definitely not the answer. At some point though, Bradford is also definitely not the answer. I don’t know that we have necessarily gotten to that point yet, but we certainly are close. Once you can say definitively that Bradford isn’t getting you anywhere, after a game like this, I think putting Sanchez in, even just to give the offense something to rally around has some benefits.
Sorry, this sounds crazy, but I strangely still believe in Bradford. He gets a long leash from me, coming from so much downtime. There’s 1 step forward, 2 steps back, but enough to win games (finally). I think Sanchez is a worse option. And maybe Bradford isn’t the answer. But I’m still very intrigued to see where it lands with him. I think there’s still hope.
Either way, that D is fucking BALLING. So there’s that. Regardless of who does what at QB.
I would be all for it if someone could point to anyone on this O that Sam is holding back. WR’s are bad, running game isn’t happening, that’s the O line mostly. Truth is the O is boning Sam when Sam isn’the boning the O.
Ertz? Huff? LMAO, Cooper??
Chip grilling Eskin ha, nice
Good job, D! Bad job, Bradford!
Some of the things this offense does are incredible, and I mean that in a bad way. The botched handoffs, botched snaps, fumbled snaps, WTF? I don’t think I’ve seen someone who can mess up a checkoff like SB. It looks like they are really forcing him to throw downfield and maybe we’re seeing why he was always so hesitant to do it before. He may have a gun, but he’s not so good at aiming it.
It’s like he threw everything hard at first, lasers. Now he’s doing opposite, trying to lay em in there and they are too soft. Like he doesn’t follow through. Gotta find that groove
Well, maybe he’ll get it together eventually.
Of all the units on the field the Eagles defense looked like the one that deserved to win the most
Especially rebounding from that first drive. Giants O didn’t show up like garbage. We wrecked them into a state of incompetence
So are we an elite defense? Front 7 is beasting and have nice depth there once we are healthy. Safeties are top-tier now. CBs are biggest weakness but personally I like Carroll.
We’re the 2008 Phillies up the middle and the 2015 Phillies on the corners.
Did that analogy make sense? I don’t know, I’m a little drunk….
Bradford is getting Howard money but the Eagles aren’t stuck with him.
upvote for drunk
Carroll playing great, def bright spot
Going to have to pay him and Thurmond
And Cox and Logan and Ced and Jenkins
How he didn’t replace fletcher, we will never know.
We’re a top 5 defense IMO
And a bottom 8 offense
I do think the offense is getting better though. It’s not great (clearly), but the running game is starting to get better, and there are some things working in the receiving game. The mistakes have to stop, but with the D generating turnovers, the O doesn’t have to be terrific with all the extra chances.
Just heard on nfl network that the Carroll pick six was our first since dawk in 2007. That seems like a ridiculously long time…
Fletcher had one last year on newton
Jenkins had one too, against SF
Fletcher had one in the Panthers game last year.
That’s what I thought. Spero didas should do some research
Think we had one vs Bears too. Not sure but that doesn’t sound right. Maybe vs Giants.
Boykin had a pick 6 to end the game
YEAH!!!
Maybe that was the last time against the Giants and he blew the read or something
just thinkinhg that
Chicago
Ooh SB just called out receivers a tad
A lot of QBs do it on the field.
DeMarco Murray 22 for 109, roughly 5 yards per carry. Not too shabby.
At least that’s 1 wound that won’t fester in the locker room this week
Off of NFL.com:
2. The Eagles are winning in spite of Bradford, who hurled three interceptions against the league’s worst pass defense playing without their top cornerback. With nine picks on the season, Bradford now trails only Peyton Manning (10). The last Philadelphia quarterback with more interceptions through six games was Ron Jaworski in 1977. Bradford can’t blame the offensive line, as the Eagles dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
Hey, Jaws came from the Rams too!
I sense good things about to happen.
Well we can hope anyway.
Definitely wouldn’t say our O line dominated the LOS
It was probably their best performance this season.
In pass pro maybe. We eventually wore them down late, but make no mistake, that was not a product of the O being able to stay on the field. That was out D getting many 3 and outs and the Giants D helping us stay on the field with penalties
Oh no. Not making that mistake. Giants ineptitude won that game for the Eagles and our D did their job. O-line didn’t stink like a 40 year old outhouse tonight, ergo best performance of the year. That’s all I’m saying.
Fair enough lol
NYG Run D was ranked highly.
They did well.
Gave Sam time.
Sam short-armed it a bunch of times.
Either Chip can’t pick a QB or he can’t develop one. But he’s on Year 3, at some point it becomes his problem.
Nick Foles was garbage, but he had value. Onus was on Chip to extract something meaningful from that, so far has been a disaster.
Bradford had 3 ints…I’m only going to kill him on 1 of them (the overthrow to Ertz). The other two, IMO, he was giving his boys a chance to make a play. Cooper stopped running, which even if he was running a deep comeback it was a lazy route to begin with…ends up being an easy pick. Then a jump ball to Ertz who simply got beat on the play (the ball could have been thrown a little higher). I like the aggressiveness and hopefully our gus will come down with more of them I’m the future.
Rotoworld skewering Bradford.
deservedly.
Hopefully next week is a let down game… for Carolina
DeMeco says he doesn’t think the hamstring is that bad and hopefully he can play next week.
I’m jus hoping Giants can have a get back game against Dallas next week.
They’ll be angry
Now on nfl network they are saying that the pick six was the first at home since 1997. That is also wrong as I know I was at a game where Lito had one in 2003 or so. Do these guys do any research?
Now they just corrected it to first pick six at home against the giants since 1997, which is truly a worthless arbitrary stat. I am so glad Tommy just put up another thread so nobody will read this stupid debate I’m having with myself
Remember when Tommy said Carroll needed to replaced next off-season and was not a quality starter? Good times…
Yeah, that was funny…that Tommy has some good ones…
Maxwell, tho. Ugh…Nnamdi 2.0.
What is up with Kelce anyway
Chip: “Ryans unbelievable mentor to Jordan.”
