Beat Dallas
Posted: November 8th, 2015 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 613 Comments »The game is finally upon us.
Let’s take a look at the inactives.
QB T. Lewis
WR N. Agholor
OL J. Peters
DE B. Bair
LB D. Ryans
LB B. Jones
CB D. Rice
It’s disappointing to see Agholor out, but his initial prognostication had me doubting he would play this week.
Missing Ryans might not be as big a deal this week. Dallas doesn’t have a power back. The other ILB should be able to handle the Dallas run game.
It is a bit surprising to see Marcus Smith active and Brad Jones inactive. Maybe Jones is hurt. Or maybe, just maybe, Smith had a good week of practice and the coaches want him active.
This is a big game. Great chance to bury the Boys and get right back to .500.
Go Eagles!!!
_
I’m mildly surprised Bair is inactive, but I have no idea who you would make inactive instead of him.
Marcus smith…
I really have liked Bair when’s he been on the field in preseason and when he’s gotten out in the regular season. Always surprised he’s inactive if no injuries to the line
The loss of Peters is easily the biggest problem
FUCK DALLAS!
I’ve got butterflies.
Better than fleas.
Alcohol drowns butterflies.
Hope Murray relaxes and doesnt try to push it/suck
Is it too much to hope that the pain of losing triggers Hardy’s temper and he beats the piss out of Collinsworth?
shoot, winning may do that
or sunday morning brunch
or puppies.
I’d like to see Hardy beat Collinsworth with Bob Costas. And then get arrested and never play football ever again.
I don’t think Bob Costas would be inclined to help Hardy beat Collinsworth. Joe Buck, maybe, but not Collinsworth.
no I mean, literally using Bob Costas as a weapon to beat Collinsworth with.
he does have sharp edges…
How many women do you want this guy to beat up?
I would put the odds of the Cowboys fan giving a “We support you” ovation to Greg Hardy at a shockingly high “Nonzero”
i’m curious to see if he gets booed at home
well this looks familiar.
We did get a yard…
lol here we go again..
Huff had an opportunity but stepped out of bounds….
the opposite of clutch
Throw to Murray in the flats, inside zone for nothing and checkdown on 3rd down. Where have I seen this before?
run into kicker?
No protection killed that play, but that was pretty good mobility by Bradford on the play
YES YES
bailed out again
Welp, I’ll take a first down
/me shakes his head.
That was a pretty bad first three plays.
And again, our MVP will be the zebras.
At least we made yards on third down and were in position to be helped out by the refs. Or Dallas really, as that was an obvious call.
First down
Now may it count.
Next play: lead with your facemask
Big break, got make them pay
where the fuck is murray going sometimes.
He follows the play to a fault. I think Mathews looks so much better because he knows how to create when it just isn’t there.
austin pass LATE.
sigh 1 yard short
Ugh…. come on offense. Get a first down!
It is impressive to go 3-and-out twice in the same drive
hey at least they got 6 plays in REALLY fast!
its a VERY innovative offense.
run into kicker again pleasE?
Josh Huff needs glasses. That’s the only thing I can think of. He’s ALWAYS short of the sticks it seems.
Stupid return
At least the cowboys look stupider than us!
And that is saying something.
Holy hell that was a boom. Nice punt.
Two weeks of planning. Did not look any different
Whoa whoa whoa! There were no drops yet!
My god this us gonna be a long ass night
Is it second half yet?
sigh
Kendricks was hesitant there.
so thats what a first down looks like on the first drive
Over pursuit by Kendricks
Jesus Christ.
Terrible.
stop putting carroll one on one with bryant
Gross.
yep we are gonna make Cassel look like pro bowler
Speechless
Poll:
Who has
a) That resting bitch face on
b) That What-the-fuck face on
Can’t wait to see what the adjustment will or will not be
We had 2 weeks of adjustment making
Silver lining: good hustle, rookie. Hicks ran down Dez.
Bill Davis please. You have 2 cover safeties so use one of them on Dez jesus christ
Exactly
We are so awful, dude threw 97 yards last week and dropped 57 on us in like 3 seconds
Uh oh, its a Matt Cassel throwing down
bradford pics looks like he’s a deer in the headlights
Ned one of those patent red zone turnovers here
please kick a field goal
Stay the hell onsides
Burn a timeout, Garrett.
Somewhere, Andy Reid is clear his throat. “Ahem. We need to do a better job there.”
cassell with a career night, book it
Caseload watched the play clock run down to 1 second before calling timeout. Is he trying to run out the clock?
A stop here would be a nice change of momentum. Obviously it is early so “momentum” isn’t huge yet, but we are playing on our heels right now.
Oh boy…….
dez gonna score here
You think they call Whitehead zit?
Watch out for dez
They were, and Jenkins was single covering Beasley.
someone fucking help nolan
but, but, they play man
Over/under 300 yards for Cassel tonight
Over/under 400 yards for Cassel tonight.
Easy over. Cousins might throw for 200 against us this week in spite of not even playing us
400 w 4 tds
I DONT FUCKING UNDERSTAND NOT SENDING PRESSURE FROM THE FUCKING 5 YARD LINE
you have a potty mouth,
93 yard drive.
dallas gonna get their win tonight
That was Brady to Edelman, wasn’t it?
Pretty sure Kelly has gin in that water bottle.
too much time
Two three and outs on our first drive and a 93 yard drive allowed by the offense… against Matt Cassell. Gross
Beat… Dallas?
billy davis does that shit all the time. never sends pressure inside the 10
GG
so, are we just going to concede the slants all night long?? Two times already our DBs gave up a very soft cushion to dallASS wrs. *Check, now three times* Horrible start.
Good night guys ;_;
A safety on a slot receiver. That is just tough
they couldnt stop weedhead, do you think they gonna stop cassell
On the bright side, the Mariota plan is moving forward. Chip will reunite with him next year when he becomes the Titans coach.
The defense will make adjustments. The offense on the other hand, gotta see some better play calling.
Please don’t give me another long week…
Jenkins got beat badly on that.
It’s early guys, don’t get down yet.
Yea the beginning of the struggle is always the most painful..
I agree but I’d like to just once see a good start to a game from this team.
Me too.
Another swing pass to Murray to start the drive?
I’m starting to hate that play.
mathews better be in this drive.
I think if you were a betting man, Swing pass to Murray vs. the field would have the better odds.
Nah. We haven’t done a sweep right for -4 yards yet. Over due.
It is time for a Matthews drop this play. I know it
Time to score points birds
What do you think Chip is telling his guys there? “Alright, let’s get this 3 and out over as fast as possible guys!”
This is starting EXACTLY like the Giants game. Feelin’ good.
I’m hoping this is similar to when we played against the Giants. They scored on their first drive and since looked lost. Let’s hope it’s the same for the Cowboys.
do you folks , think they’re gonna win, some loser on here don went to bed
Pretty please…I can’t take a 3 and outer here
Hope you’re drinking.
I may start.
Is it too much to ask for one good start to a game?
go to bed
But it’s not my bed time yet :/
Hey hey, we kicked a field goal against the Jets!
Need to do a better job of covering the slants. LBs need to be dropping to their zone and CBs need to stop giving up such a generous cushion.
derp
Well, looks like more of same. Way to take advantage of the break, Chip.
the same ol penalties, same ol qb, same ol mistakes, different day
haha… these guys are professional athletes?!
this looks familiar
theres that slant
this playcalling is awful
3 & out
Man, Chip’s offense is so predictable.
this offense can suck my ass.
Can we just fire chip right now?
We should punt on third…so it doesn’t count as a three and out
boys we just aint that good, this team sux, and its kellys fault
Lol guys
Kelly’s a genius
What just happened?
NICE!!
*****snore*******
oh, a third down conversion!
Okay…Now can we please try to move the ball vertically and less horizontally?
Wth was that?
Is the Eagles defense playing right now? 3rd and how long?
“3rd and a million” I think that may be some kind of record.
“Lets make sure we cover Miles Austin” – said no one ever
How about a decent snap Kelce?
Another 3 and out?
Didn’t you see the first down?
WOW!!
They’re just a hell of a lot more physical than us.
Bradford is a horrible decision maker
No one else was open on that play.
Sadly….I agree
are you sure? i think the all 22 will show something else
Positive. That video from behind the LOS showing our receivers running into coverage. That was his only option.
I think he wants to kill his teammates
bradford you idiot
man bradford sux, so bad,
Oh, my God…why can’t Bradford see that the first down line is further than where he threw it?
Or that there is a defender right there ready to make the stop?
Be fair to the man. The first down line is 10 yards away, and that’s just so far when you’re Sam Bradford.
need 4 yards throw 1 yard pass
Sammy the ‘check down king’ at it again. Good grief.
You couldnt make this up
So about those bye week adjustments…
Did you see we got a first down this half?
What adjustments. The players just need to execute my plays better.
– C. Kelly
We replaced the fat guy that was good after the bye with a slightly less fat guy.
Adjustments don’t matter much when you’re counting heavily on key players who suck.
We’re about to lose to the Cassel led Cowboys… Season is over guys
Start throwing at least four yards if it is third and four #littlethings
chip did his homeword during the bye didnt he, so glad when he’s gone
If the Eagles’ D can stop the Cowboys on this drive and give the ball back to the Eagles, I’d like to see if Chip will put more 2-TE sets this time.
Nothing new to see here. Move on…
Right about here is where Billy’s D is gonna make some plays and give us hope, then watch Chip’s O piss it away.
don’t ruin the ending for me
Its a rerun.
Bradford just seems so excited to get any completion like that is his only job
Where is the logic in Chip fighting so hard for player personnel decisions………but when it comes to game time, he just leaves it up to his coaches?
He totally rolls the bus over Duce
This offense is like tecmo bowl where your opponent has a 1 in 4 chance of guessing the play and your qb is Scott zolak
+1 for the Zolak reference.
Is Zolak better than Bradford?
The offense is so incredibly horrible, pretty much across all positions.
but execution!
We can’t do that either.
ref bail out?
No, they’ve been calling that more this year. Ags has had a couple of those this year.
Thought for sure that was going to be on us. Phew.
Gotta love Kiko covering Dez straight up
Beasley tried to pick Alonso. The legend said “no.”
Get your friggin’ offense to work, Chip!! Let’s go!
beasley picking kiko? good luck with tath
Can we trade Kiko for something more valuable next offseason?
Why?
Why do you need 3 good ILBs? I’d rather have Hicks continue to grow and get a WR/OL/CB in return for Kiko.
Doubt that’ll happen unless Kiko suffers another season-ending injury.
If that happens, we couldn’t even get a donut for Kiko
He’ll lose all value if he gets injured again. I sure as hell don’t want him if he can’t play.
We needed four good ILBs this year.
Whew, glad that we weren’t penalized for “running into their kicker”.
Me too. I think it’s because he didn’t knock him over.
Oh some decent field position for our next punt
Odds on 3 & out?
82%
0%
Well the 18% came through for us
NOPE. Because we just got a first down. Unstoppable
Sam still holds onto the ball way too damn long.
we seriously have two running plays?
wtf, murray had space all around him…
4 and out
our plays and play calling really suck
Yeah.
Yep
Screen was set up if Bradford could get the ball there.
…is it safe for me to say it’s time to try seeing what Sanchez can do in this game?
We suck regardless
No, not yet. We need Bradford to hit total rock bottom first, so no way he’s re-signed.
Dallas seems to know all 7 of our plays.
Wow, we have 7 this week? That’s 3 more than usual.
We just gotta face it…marinelli just completely owns chip
Bad, bad team. Really bad.
the earlier we accept it, the better.
I am not at the acceptance stage yet.
Well, at least that was an interesting punt (a “nose-down” punt).
Donnie Jones is our MVP
This team is so boring.
Is there a reason we are purposely not taking shots downfield? And by downfield, I mean at least 7 yards from the line of scrimmage.
1. Check-down Sam
2. Dropped balls
3. Sam doesn’t have big enough balls to throw them downfield (no pun intended)
I’ve been wondering why they put us on SNF all the time, but I just figured it out- all the three and outs lead to maximum commercials.
I’d rather run at Hardy all game and make a point, then lose this way.
I miss watching Temple
college basketball is just around the corner
I know can’t wait
I cant stand sanchez, but put him in, cant be any worse than it is
You know what else is boring? Waiting for the refs to make a call for 5 minutes time after time, game after game. I mean holy shit, make the damn call.
Truck Nuts is leaving the field.
Well…there goes Riley.
D:
Bradford and Murray getting outplayed by cassel and McFadden
And you’re surprised? It’s a low bar to exceed.
Absolutely. Cassel sucks and watch the eagles get beat by this stiff tonight would be real frustrating.
How is McFadden still healthy this far into the season?
The O-Line of Youth.
8 guys in coverage and he’s still wide open.
how the fuck is that possible
Rush three and guys still wide open
Wish we had Matt Cassell!
Sad (really, really sad), but true.
why dont they blitz, he’s gonna throw for 300
Just seems likes dallas wants it more
Blown off the ball
wow, so you kow they are gonna run it, and they gain 15 yards?
defense is quitting, like they dont care since the O and coach sux so bad
Ugh…. I’m almost glad they’re losing now… They’re really bad so u don’t have to have hope and get worked up
Gonna need the defense to step up and make this our game.
What we’re seeing is just a reminder of the importance of investing in your O-line.
Who’s our next Head Coach?
Enough of this midget
Art Briles
Shurmur
Matt Rhule
I’d like to try snatching Sean Payton.
Andy, Part II
Do any of you guys see Chip or Sam in person? If so, what would be the first thing you’d say to them?
Get your head out of your ass you’re not that good
Add a new F’n play
Deja vu all over again.
Why did we overpay for Graham?
It’s just sad because I don’t even get excited for games anymore. I’m not really even mad/shocked/confused at this point. I used to flip out for Eagles games and get really excited but now, I just kinda shrug. I’m sad 🙁
They’re toi bad for me to get worked up
That’s why I’m sad.
WTF?
That’s a clear holding call!
good call, glad when he’s gone too
Well I’m out guys… I’ll come back in a half hour if things aren’t ugly
Try till halftime.
this team from top to bottom, has not got 1 single pro bowler, or one player I’d keep for next year
Cox?
whats he done
Don’t say that.
Glad you aren’t putting together rosters
so you trust chip and his roster
That’s not true
No.
Not even Donnie Jones??
well maybe him, the punter, or murderleg
Uh, what?
This is a bad team guys. They’re going to finish 6-10 or 7-9, and on merit. Not ready to give up on Kelly yet but he has to be on notice going into next year. Bradford is another matter. I want that guy gone.
He’s already on notice.
I wouldn’t say it’s a bad team. I’d say it’s a crappy offense for any number of reasons (but especially the QB).
Terrence Williams, making a strong push to be a 2016 Philadelphia Eagle
Wow, Barwin just bumrushed and bulled over a DallASS lineman.
Barwin blew that guy up!
Terrence WIlliams just did the Jordan Matthews
Should have drafted Carr/Bridgewater. That draft is looking poopy right now.
Carr and Allen Robinson. This team would be so much better with those two.
Wow, I couldn’t even imagine man. I really liked Robinson. Had attitude issues if I remember right.
Carr is a beneficiary of great OL. That negates his worst weakness.
ok here we go guys!!
score some F’ points!
This is a cowboys type game. TOP will be 20-10 at half and they get the ball…but of course chip has taught us that doesn’t matter
Just popped up on LinkedIn. How apropos…
A sight for sore eyes on that run…
Keep it close (within a score) and regroup at half. This teams performance in the 1st half has been pitiful this year.
That’s true. We are usually much better after half.
Nobody turns a 12 TD run into an 8 TD run like Murray
Yd
Wow I swore that was Mathews. DeMarco was fast there.
omg murray
someone just decided to not block Greg hardy?
Murray looks MUCH better today. run the ball
That might be the first first down all season that came on only run plays.
There have been several. Maybe Mathews more than Murray. We actually moved the ball pretty well for 3-4 games there; it was just finishing with TDs which was the issue.
Let’s go, DeMarco – I want to see you run angry!
Keep waiting. I don’t see a guy who is running confidently or with authority
Good first down there guys.
Nice hole
That’s what Cox probably said too.
Let’s get rollin’ now…
Bradford is 28 now, his brain is getting too old to make fast decisions
punt coming
Running forward is working. Who would of thought.
HELL YEAH!
Mathews >>>> DeMarco
That was the ugliest handoff…
Still got positive yardage, though…
Keep running
Big run by mathews. Now be ready not to see him for a quarter.
Matthews is so much better, yet continues to get less carries. I’ll never understand this.
Kelly needs to bring back the poster size pics of Rocky, Cheesesteaks, Liberty Bell etc
Matthews caught a ball!!!
HURRRAY
I think we found something that is working?
Let’s just keep doing this. Sam can’t fuck it up if he’s just handing it off.
I’m not so sure…..
Mathews should’ve kept going – he would’ve gotten that TD!
he should have hop on his flying carpet!
is there a rz int coming
Be quiet, man.
Alright! Keep stringing ’em together!
Hardy is only in good enough shape to fight women
Insomniac, MATTHEWS CAUGHT ONE!
Offense looks so much better when runs get 4+ yards.
They better not throw
Jesus H. Christ…
Wow
wtf Seattle don’t pass the ball!!!
Can we just never have Josh Huff on the field ever again? Fuck that guy.
1.
I called it, almost
SPROLES!!!
Forward Soviet er Murray!
Td
Shotgun, of course
Why won’t Chip challenge that??
GODDAMIT YOU’RE ONE YARD OUT RUN THE FUCKING BALL ANDY
Unreal
Was that worth a challenge? Kelly never does on those, but….
RUN BALL. USE MURRAY. THAT IS WHY HE IS HERE.
please fire chip, now, please, fire chip, thats on chip,
why can’t Chip ever challenge?
It’s crazy!
RUN THE FUCKIN’ BALL THIS TIME!!
YES!!!
I cannot express how much I hate the shotgun formation on the goal line.
it was empty set too
edit: the 3rd down play
Shotgun is dumb. Empty backfield is full retard.
well Brady does it. But stupid from the one yard line.
TOUCHDOWN!!!
There you go Chip. That’s the right call.
please fire chip, he is the worse coach in football now
Oh so the troll changed his name to aaron
hey dooshbag, I aint changed my name, just been here a week
A A RON, guys.
Ever the pessimistic, huh?
he has sproles in on 3rd down, obviouse pass from the 1, everyone knew it, run murray, just like he did on the next play
go to bed
why
you’re not enjoying the game. just get that extra sleep and save yourself from the struggle
To be fair, you don’t watch the eagles for enjoyment. Its a deeper sickness that makes you watch
Good to get the TD but really should have challenged that one. Holy cow!
Actually, with it being just a half yard and the Dallas D half. A challenge would have given them a breather. Pound the rock.
but then they tried to throw it.
And if had lead Mathews it was six
…thought Murray fumbled the hand off for a second
Exactly everyone is going to harp on Jordan Matthews, but that throw was behind him. I swear Sam had 5 yards of space to put the ball and he decides to make it difficult.
Defense getting gassed already, bodes well for second half
Yeah, I’m hoping that’ll come to our advantage.
And they’ve barely been on the field
Chip is G.D. lucky on that – Murray bailed him out.
1) Best drive of the season. Almost blew it.
2) Jordan Matthews is still garbage.
At least he freakin’ caught one for a first down.
True! Nice low leverage situation for him.
that was a sweet drive, amazing when the running game works
So Byron Jones already does what we wanted Rowe to do. Nice one again Chip. Oh and Josh Huff? P Lease never come out of the dog house again.
That draft man! lol. Lets all say it together, “We could have had Carr/Bridgewater and Robinson.”
Ugh I really want to give him the benefit of the doubt but so far it looks so bad.
dont rag on my Rowe, he gonna beast. gtfo
I hope so but he’s not proving me wrong right now. Jones > Rowe imo.
well they are playing 2 completely different positions, if he works out at cb its a pretty big win. but S might be better fit long term
Given up huff will get things to click and be an asset. Hua player
That Greg Hardy sure seems like a nice man
That is as nice as he can be.
he should be out of the league
You are just saying that because he should be in prison.
commenting is slow?
Shouldn’t there be a wave of fury at Greg Hardy’s unnecessary roughness?
Too easy. Give us a challenge
Why bother. He’s a piece if shit.
I was waiting for NBC to release the pictures.
They didn’t show it. Out of sight out of mind
what say there
Caleb sturgis loves it…he can get a touchback now…
it sucks to be added to the kickoff. That’s kind of unfair. Very little benefit.
We should be able to get points if you can put the kickoff through the uprights…
I’ve seriously wanted that added to rules. It’d be fantastic
Should get a point if you kick it through the upright on a KO. The that penalty would matter
Hardy is a douche.
yes he is
I very much concur.
Graham’s time to shine in this drive…?
I honestly just don’t think Graham is that good.
KIKO!!!lol
Celebrating the TD by cracking a Double Dog IPA. Yum.
Alsonso looked really slow on that play.
its only because he sucks,
Oh look. The joke is back with a bright, shiny new name!
Gave up on the qq name eh?
must stink to switch names and be outed so fast. You’d think he could switch it up a little.
ok, who is troll, or former name
A A RON!
didnt chip hire a guy just to look at challenges? where the heck is that guy
Its bad when you have to think “was that Andy or Chip”
I think Chip just assumes he can always make 1 yard on the next play so he must consider those a wasted challenge. At least I don’t think I’ve ever seen him challenge one and there have been 2-3 which I thought were TDs (and we did not convert on all of them).
generous freakin spot
Time for defense to give us something.
Honestly thought DMac hurt his hammy there.
he got a dui, in jail
Graham jumped inside and lost contain.
Wow, BG was extra slow on that one. Terrible.
he jumped inside at first. No way he was getting back outside after that.
Right, but his hips looked extra stiff in trying to open and re-route his pursuit angle.
Nice coverage there. Looks like Dez didn’t see the ball coming.
nolan gonna have a long nigtht
nice run d
come on… darren freakin mcfadden?
I thought our front 7 was good against the run? 15 for 79 is gag worthy.
how bout that run d, ugh
but, thats our strength
I have McFadden on one of my FF teams and I feel very guilty.
This is your fault!?
The elusive Matthew Cassel
its what made him a 7th round darft pick instaead of undrafted
perfect
how do you miss that sack
We’re making Cassel look like Romo good god
Zebras with the save. Good rush by Hicks, but you gotta get him down rook.
Well, Maxwell was camping under that for the INT if he wasn’t pushed.
I wonder if Dez gets that call though.
still just a matter of time
That was a smart penalty.
they executed
the difference in penalties between pass interference on the O and D is really too broad.
im pretty sure byron maxwell wasnt going to pick it off.
My thoughts exactly…
How do you not finish that play? Hicks needs to gain a little weight.
McFadden was absolute crap with the Raiders. Shows you what a good O-line can do for you.
Cole Beasley is tied for the Eagles lead in tackles
thank you field
With agility like that Beasley could play for the Eagles if he only tore his ACL.
Yuck, that guy is despicable.
perfect fit for the Pats
The ghost of self tackling Maclin still remains with us guys
Baby face Taylor Hart in the game!
There’s no chance they don’t get a first down
…cassell with 11 yard gain.
The Eagles’ D looks slow to react.
cassel is tough, great run against this stoud d
Seriously? We just gave up 10+ on a bootleg run to Cassell?
I don’t know guys..Cassel looks more decisive than Murray. Lets trade them for each other.
Here we go
Brandon. Graham. Sighting
Nice sack there.
good job BG
Saves 3 points
Remember when I said that this would be Graham’s time to shine on this drive? 😉
Totally redeemed himself!!!
That’s actually a really nice move by Graham. I only thought he had the bull rush honestly.
And against one of the best LTs.
Wouldn’t it be neat if he developed a nasty spin moved? He would have quite the package then. Was it Freeny or Mathis with the killer spin move in Indy?
Freeney
That was actually the right time to call a fair catch on the 6
wish we could have recovered that. I’m scared of giving up points from our 5.
the stretch with murray… ugh.
its never worked, so keep tryin
that play has worked what 3/40 times? its horrible for murray
maybe it’s setting up something else?
yeah, the int
They aren’t prepared for the sweep with Mathews 😉
Execution
Every time I see the Jones I think they are plugging the latest Bond villain
please dont throw it
Who takes care of Jerry’s girlfriends/mistresses?
Ben Franklin
Greg Hardy?
mitchell

Report: Reggie Bush hires attorney, will sue city of St. Louis over injury
wtf? for what?
The stupid concrete ring that injured a different player the week before
trying to own the Rams LOL
I don’t think St Louis is even trying to own the Rams
I understand St Louis has a nice new stadium plan. The owner wants to move anyway.
Game has played out like I thought and I do think it will loosen open up a bit for both teams
ooo shatter proof screen… i’m listening…
So the lack of passing game lies squarely on Chip’s shoulders, right? He was the one who decided $$$ would be better allocated signing Byron Maxwell and letting JMac walk. He’s the one who drafted Matthews and Huff in back to back rounds. Drafted Angohlor in the 1st. Re-signed Cooper. Traded Foles for Bradford (a wash at best right now). I’m just trying to wrap my mind around how this passing offense could have regressed so much to where it is right now. At the 2 minute warning, we have 50 passing yards and 7 points on the board. It shouldn’t be this bad. Yet, nobody is surprised given what we have witnessed this year. I’m just venting, never mind me.
Out of bounds, woohoo
what is up with these ugly handoffs
All of my anger of us passing right there seems misplaced with it acutally working
run the ball
Luckily that was only 3 yards to go – right in Bardford’s wheelhouse
Huff would have runa 2 yard route.
how do you totally just throw that far left or right of a guy
Sproles ran Heath over.
Just don’t pass again ever
Especially if Johnson has to sit out.
Oh no
that fcuking sucks
Oh no. No no. No
Um….. that’s not good.
NO, NOT OUR JOHNSON!
well if Lane Johnson goes out I’m going to bed.
LJ hurt…
Why do we have such bad luck with lineman injuries recently?
This is exactly why I’m disappointed in Chip not drafting or getting any O-line this past offseason.
who comes in, is there anyone left
Probably shift Tobin to Left tackle and…um..J. .Andrews in for guard I think.
If Lane is hurt, do we just head home?
move bradford to tackle, run wildcat
Tanner hrkleson time
Good thing we drafted that OT last draft! oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
And the draft before!
Weird how Chip is choosing to run the ball so much given the situation. Has he lost all faith in the passing game?
what situation? we should be running the ball this game.
C’mon. tie game. less than a few minutes left in the half. Most teams would be taking shots downfield.
oh I see. I think Chip thinks he has PLENTY of time, almost too much.
I don’t think we minded burning clock until we got away from our end zone — we still had three timeouts to Dallas’ 1.
But the more we run… yeah you do wonder.
A limping Johnson..:(
is better than no Johnson
Johnson is up.
FUCKIN BALLER JOHNSON
Phew
Thank goodness our Johnson is standing erect and at attention.
smh
Of course it is Greg Hardy…
Wow they’re going back to what Matthews can actually do..catch screen passes.
enough with these positive plays, someone hold
Just got on 20 minutes ago. Have we attempted any long passes this game?
One to Miles Austin.
we actually had a 20 -25 yard to Austin. Otherwise no.
Mostly short and intermediate routes, but we strung a series of nice runs in our last drive.
Dennis Kelly looks like he bites the heads off rodents.
He is the definition of a “big ugly.”
Sproles could’ve just exploded through that hole on the left side…
Eventually, Chip is just going to have a post-it note for his plays.
Why waste the money. Just write it on his hands.
i guess we’re giving up
Why are we running the ball here?
I don’t get the time management strategy here. What the hell is Chip doing?
Looks like getting out of the half with a tie. Little bit odd once we got out past the 35.
Yea, but then why the random pass play that leave time on the clock?
Maybe try to catch Dallas sleeping? I’m grasping here…
That was absolutely it, and it works if Bradford didn’t get drilled. And it cost nothing.
See the Punt return by the Broncos today. Sure, chances are low, but when you can run it out, why not at least just snap it with less time left so that it is guaranteed to be the last play. You are right that it doesn’t cost us much, but when you have the opportunity to make sure it cost nothing without hurting the chance of the play working, do it that way.
That was quitting
best thing they could do,what the heck was that
O Tobin, you swinging gate you!
Bradford must owe Tobin money.
Can someone tell Chip that its a tied game?
that is the worst time managment i’ve ever seen
and I’ve seen Andy
Snore snore NO DON’T THROW TO LJ TO END THE HALF!
Please punt out of bounds. Vikings already returned one to end a half
Oh shit, I didn’t realize we still have two timeouts left. Why isn’t Chip hurrying up his offense?
if you want to run out hte clock, just fucking run out the clock. make up your fucking mind chip.
If Bradford didn’t get hit, I think that was a touchdown. The Cowboys started coasting, just like we did.
this is so much like the 98 team
I would’ve never thought we were tied in this game if they didn’t have the score at the bottom of the screen
Another stellar performance from our QB:
69 QBR, 59% completions, 4.4 YPA
That QBR is above his average.
Is that QBR or QB rating?
no bad mistakes for Cassel that half. How do backups do this to us?
The same way opposing field goal kickers do.
ZERO INTERCEPTIONS!
Anyone have a Riley update?
He still isn’t very good.
I still don’t understand why Bob Costas talks about anything other than the game that’s currently on.
I turn it to something else when that libtard is talking
Seriously, Graham? You had to do that?
taunting? Is that a makeup call or something?
Can someone please defend Beasley…knew this guy would be the next hated cowboy…
