Game Preview – at Detroit

Posted: November 26th, 2015 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 384 Comments »

Playing at 12:30 on Thanksgiving is just weird. Is this really what the pilgrims had in mind when they landed at Canton, Ohio back in 1776 and founded the NFL? I’m not so sure. At least there won’t be a whole lot of waiting around for the game.

This is a huge game for the Eagles. There is a ton of negativity swirling around the team after Sunday’s debacle. The team needs to bounce back. The Lions have won 2 in a row after a disastrous 1-7 start. They aren’t a good team, but they are playing with more confidence now. Amazing what winning a couple of games will do for you.

The Lion offense has some big time talent, but still seems dysfunctional. Last week they had 218 yards in the 1st half, but only 3 FGs to show for it. They are last in the league in rushing and the team averages just 3.4 yards per carry. Don’t expect a repeat of last week where the Bucs delivered huge plays in the run game.

Detroit’s OL is up and down. They struggled last week with the blitz and stunts/loops. The Eagles can attack the Lions using both of those styles. Matt Stafford is a very talented QB so you want to get pressure on him. That isn’t a guy you want sitting in a clean pocket.

Pass coverage was awful in the Tampa game so it will be interesting to see how the Eagles do against Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate and the RBs, Theo Riddick and Ameer Abdullah. The Eagles better tackle well because Tate is dynamic with the ball in his hands. Riddick and Abdullah are dangerous as well.

Mark Sanchez will play today. He played fairly well in the 1st half last week. Once the game got out of hand, he struggled. He’s just not a guy who is going to win a shootout.

Detroit has a good pass rush. The OL will need to give Sanchez time to throw the ball. You can run on them. They have struggled to stop the run this year. The Lions like to spread out their DL and attack up the field. That leaves gaps for the LBs and DBs to cover. It will be interesting to see if the Eagles run more inside vs the wide front or if the Lions adjust their front and the Eagles run wide. No matter what, the Eagles need to run the ball.

Jason Peters and Jason Kelce are active. That helps the OL. Zach Ertz is out. That will hurt the passing game, especially with Sanchez at the helm. He loves to throw the ball between the hashmarks. Trey Burton gets a chance to show what he can do on offense.

This game is going to tell us a lot about this Eagles team. Can they bounce back from a terrible showing and play well? A win doesn’t suddenly mean everything is okay, but it would be important. Look at the Bears and Texans. Each team hit rock bottom this year, but bounced back. Chicago is 4-6 and Houston is 5-5. When you lose, negativity and controversy follow. When you win, those things go away.

The Eagles were favored the last 2 weeks, but lost both games. The Eagles got their nose rubbed in it last week. That often will bring out the best in a team. All NFL players have pride. Getting humiliated serves as one heck of a wake-up call.

I can’t imagine how insane things will get if the Eagles lose today.

For all of our sake, this team needs to come out today and play well. They need to win.

Please give us something to be thankful for.

*****

If this turns into another ugly game, we can still have some fun thanks to our good buddy Baloophi. Check this out….

Eagles Bingo!!!

Even if things go horribly wrong, we can still win.

Play with friends and family.

And please…no cheating. This is a game of integrity.

    Hopefully everybody has their priorities straight and will be watching this game the whole time. I’ve got my turkey rescheduled to come out for everybody in between 4:30 and 5:00.

  2. 2 TypicalDouche said at 11:31 AM on November 26th, 2015:

    My schedule is the exact same brother. I even told most of my family coming pice to not show up until the earliest 3pm, I feel by that time I should know if I’m gonna be the happy go lucky thanksgiving host or if I’m gonna be the miserable asshole eating my food in silence.

  3. 3 Media Mike said at 11:57 AM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’ll be happy for Thanksgiving no matter what the result of the game, but people who want to know when I’m available should always check the NFL schedule when it comes out in April.

  4. 4 TypicalDouche said at 12:12 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Ohhh I agree pal I will still have fun but in my family I have members that are going to rub it in my face. My father is up from Miami and is no doubt ready to trash talk me about the Fins game since he’s a die hard fan, my mother is a giants fan, and for some reason my brother in law is a Lions fan (albeit born in Michigan) so you can imagine that on the outside I will be full of laughter and joy with family but on the inside I will be crying if things go wrong.

  5. 5 Media Mike said at 12:14 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Wow. I’m very impressed you overcame that type of trash upbringing to become the great person you are today. I hope you save a ton of money not buying those villains any presents.

  6. 6 Media Mike said at 11:22 AM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’ll say the same thing I said the other day; either we get a nice win and some fun before we roll into New England for a low pressure game or we get a bad loss and a 10 day break to encourage some cuts and staff firings.

  7. 7 TypicalDouche said at 11:33 AM on November 26th, 2015:

    Well said but knowing Chip and how depleted this team is that even if the Eagles get blown out I don’t think anyone gets their pink slip.

  8. 8 Media Mike said at 11:56 AM on November 26th, 2015:

    That could very well be true, but I wasn’t going to go all-in on firings / cuts on a short week.

  9. 9 BlindChow said at 11:40 AM on November 26th, 2015:

    Honestly, I fully expect whichever defensive front Detroit chooses (wide or narrow) this coaching staff won’t be able to exploit it and they’ll keep running the opposite direction of where they should be running.

  10. 10 TypicalDouche said at 11:55 AM on November 26th, 2015:

    You would Kendricks should have some helpful advice to the offense if Detroit goes wide nine that the Eagles should run Demarco directly up the middle everytime since he seen first hand how it felt to get abused playing behind the wide nine.

  11. 11 Media Mike said at 11:55 AM on November 26th, 2015:

    Gotta block it no matter what it is. I’m not going to fault scheme on O while our lineman keep losing battles they shouldn’t.

  12. 12 Media Mike said at 12:09 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Devastation (but not a shock) in the best Thanksgiving football game on the planet (Upper Darby vs. Haverford) as my Royals are going down in flames to Haverford 35-14 at halftime with the Central League Title on the line. I need to remind myself the next time I complain about the Eagles coaches that at least they aren’t momma’s boys who got their jobs from their mommy being on the school board and haven’t won a league title since 1964.

  13. 13 andyisme said at 12:17 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I was going to make this the first NFL game I’ve gone to. I’m glad I didn’t.

  14. 14 Media Mike said at 12:18 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Good seats still available?

    i like see San Chez under center

  20. 20 Crus57 said at 12:40 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    2nd and 14 and we run Murray outside.. yay playcalling

  21. 21 jpate said at 12:41 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    God murray is so bad

  22. 22 Iskar36 said at 12:41 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    But but he runs north and south

  23. 23 Crus57 said at 12:41 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    you mean falls over north and south, so far tonight

  24. 24 daveH said at 12:43 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I know and there was no one up the middle .. weak blocking that should have been a huge hole for him there

  25. 25 John Galt said at 12:41 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Can we cover the swing pass square if it’s sproles?

  26. 26 BlindChow said at 12:43 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Field goal range! Here comes the turnover!

  27. 27 daveH said at 12:44 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    or penalty out of range

  28. 28 Media Mike said at 12:44 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Can Jason Kelce PLESE be upgraded this off-season? His whiff of a block just got Peters rolled up on from behind and injured.

  29. 29 Checkdown Charlie said at 12:44 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Should we cheer for Lane?

  30. 30 daveH said at 12:46 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    yell BINGO when he gets called for holding

  31. 31 jpate said at 12:47 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    worse then holding, that was a 15 yard penalty, easily avoidable

  32. 32 daveH said at 12:45 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    anyone playing BINGO ??

  33. 33 Crus57 said at 12:45 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    was Kicker hits the post and it doesn’t go through on there?

  34. 34 Baloophi said at 12:47 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Actually, I was going to add: “Sturgis inexplicably hits a 50 yarder. Later, inexplicably misses a PAT.”

  35. 35 shah8 said at 12:46 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    This drive doesn’t give me confidence. Never mind the idiot announcers.

  36. 36 Media Mike said at 12:46 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    https://twitter.com/SiriusXMNFL/status/669934847826272256

    Nice whiff Kelce, you just got a teammate injured. Please go away and never return.

  37. 37 Media Mike said at 12:46 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Sturgis; not invited back on team flight.

  38. 38 BlindChow said at 12:48 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    At least we’re not losing yet.

  39. 39 Checkdown Charlie said at 12:49 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    yet

  40. 40 Crus57 said at 12:49 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I mean, if we score a TD in the first quarter we know that’s basically it for the game, given recent weeks

  41. 41 John Galt said at 12:50 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Uh oh. 3rd and 18

  42. 42 Baloophi said at 12:50 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    So far, the sound of that field goal clanging off the upright is the soundtrack of our season…

  43. 43 Crus57 said at 12:52 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Somewhat emblematic of our performance since pre-season, in tone.

  44. 44 daveH said at 12:52 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    except it had a really nice BOOM to it.
    sounded like it had purpose

  45. 45 bdbd20 said at 12:52 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Eh. Sturgis was unemployed for a reason. I really didn’t have much expectation on that one.

  46. 46 shah8 said at 12:52 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    At least the Eagles defense is playing like they were embarrassed last week.

  47. 47 bdbd20 said at 12:53 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Make no mistake, their OL may be worse than ours. Might be a game for Graham to feast.

  48. 48 Checkdown Charlie said at 12:53 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    OK, Who gets penalty first Kelce or Johnson?

  49. 49 Media Mike said at 12:53 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Johnson already did.

  50. 50 Checkdown Charlie said at 12:54 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    this drive

  51. 51 daveH said at 12:55 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    lane Johnson just let Kelly get rolled from behind

  52. 52 Media Mike said at 12:55 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Learned it by watching Kelce

  53. 53 JoeBlow said at 12:54 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I hate Lane Johnson

  54. 54 Media Mike said at 12:55 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Not as much as I hate Kelce.

  55. 55 bdbd20 said at 12:56 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    He’s not that bad. They are asking a lot from him right now.

  56. 56 Checkdown Charlie said at 12:56 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    But dont boo
    His mangina might get hurt

  57. 57 Crus57 said at 12:55 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Apparently the theme of today’s game is giving thanks for all the good, healthy linemen we USED to have

  58. 58 Baloophi said at 12:57 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I can’t help but think if we had been cheering Lane Johnson, he would have been able to stay in front of Ansah for longer than half a second. That’s on us, guys.

  59. 59 John Galt said at 12:57 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Of all the worries I had about this team before the season, being incredibly boring wasn’t one of them… But I guess you never know

  60. 60 Baloophi said at 12:57 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Ironically, that’s what makes them interesting.

  61. 61 Crus57 said at 12:58 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    your 2015 Eagles: “Unconventionally Boring”

  62. 62 Baloophi said at 12:59 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Also a great Pink Floyd song.

  63. 63 John Galt said at 12:58 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    There is last weeks D

  64. 64 daveH said at 12:58 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    im still watching..
    still close

  65. 65 jpate said at 12:59 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Just loose out

  66. 66 BlindChow said at 12:59 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    And the wheels are off.

  67. 67 Baloophi said at 1:00 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    That implies they were ever on…

  68. 68 shah8 said at 1:00 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    interesting blown coverage.

  69. 69 Baloophi said at 1:01 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    It better start snowing inside the dome…

  70. 70 bdbd20 said at 1:01 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Those kind of throws are why you take a chance on a guy like Bradford. Not sure Sam is the answer, but you have to find that to win big.

  71. 71 JoeBlow said at 1:01 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Kiko Matthews with the tackle

  72. 72 BlindChow said at 1:01 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Lol off-coverage on 3rd and short. Nice.

  73. 73 shah8 said at 1:03 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    In this game, it seems like Detroit’s OC has a strong idea of Eagles defensive preferences.

  74. 74 Crus57 said at 1:03 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    well, so far the defensive preferences are “don’t cover the middle of the field. at all.”

  75. 75 shah8 said at 1:03 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    yeah…

  76. 76 shah8 said at 1:04 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    dude is finding holes in coverage like snap.

  77. 77 Iskar36 said at 1:03 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Kendricks was absolutely destroyed in coverage on that play

  78. 78 Tumtum said at 1:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Both Riddick catches.

  79. 79 Baloophi said at 1:03 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Well, the “bend but then also break” defense is working…

  80. 80 Tumtum said at 1:05 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Run, run, inc pass, punt offense seems to be turning on all cylinders as well.

  81. 81 BlindChow said at 1:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    To break tendency, we’ll sometimes complete the pass short of the sticks on 3rd.

  82. 82 Tumtum said at 1:07 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Can’t be to predictable!

  83. 83 BlindChow said at 1:04 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    We can’t come back from this kind of deficit…

  84. 84 RobNE said at 1:04 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    They seemed to have wide open guys on half the plays that drive.

  85. 85 Aaron said at 1:04 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    how can a professional team be this bad

  86. 86 TypicalDouche said at 1:05 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    You clearly have never heard of the Detroit Lions that went winless one entire season.

  87. 87 Aaron said at 1:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    thats true, but dang they look so bad,

  88. 88 TypicalDouche said at 1:08 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Oh there is no doubt about that brother, this team is terribly flawed. I still remember all of these same people on this blog begging for the Eagles to extend Kendricks and I knew that was a bad move but damn since he got paid he’s been down right terrible. Kiko is basically a tackling dummy standing there taking space. Who would of thought that a rookie LB would of been the heart and sole of toys defense.

  89. 89 Aaron said at 1:05 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    this team couldnt beat the 98 eagles

  90. 90 Checkdown Charlie said at 1:05 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’ve gone from pissed off to sort of laughing.
    Is that normal?

  91. 91 JoeBlow said at 1:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    you have to at this point, don’t let these nitwits get you down on thanksgiving

  92. 92 jpate said at 1:07 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Numb is the word for me

  93. 93 bdbd20 said at 1:08 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Agree. Feels like 2012 again. Except, we know there’s not going to be a change.

  94. 94 bdbd20 said at 1:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    How great is it to hear Joe Buck say Jim Bob Cooter? Awesome.

  95. 95 TypicalDouche said at 1:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    It’s great of you’re a 10 year old boy.

  96. 96 RobNE said at 1:08 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    When we throw deep? Over under this game is .5.

  97. 97 daveH said at 1:09 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    B2

  98. 98 BlindChow said at 1:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Murray really should slide there to avoid getting hit…

  99. 99 Checkdown Charlie said at 1:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    The Trey Train

  100. 100 Aaron said at 1:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    they should just kick the field goal now, before sanchez throws a pick

  101. 101 TypicalDouche said at 1:11 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    If only Sturgis wasn’t the kicker I’d agree.

  102. 102 JoeBlow said at 1:12 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    just said this to my dad, made him laugh pretty hard

  103. 103 BlindChow said at 1:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Trey doing what Ertz shoukd have done two years ago…

  104. 104 Crus57 said at 1:11 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Murray has the same burst as a slowly deflating balloon at a kids party

  105. 105 daveH said at 1:11 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    love trey Burton! wish he were bigger he has great heart

  106. 106 TypicalDouche said at 1:12 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    He should get more playing time regardless, he can be a weapon.

  107. 107 shah8 said at 1:11 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    and we finaly nail one of their tendencies.

  108. 108 BlindChow said at 1:11 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Welp, there’s hope. Turnover time!

  109. 109 RobNE said at 1:12 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Just when I’m about to give up they give me false hope.

  110. 110 McNabbulousness said at 1:13 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    welcome to this season!

  111. 111 McNabbulousness said at 1:13 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    well that couple minutes of this game was a culmination of the last game and a half for the eagles, hopefully they’ve gotten it out of their system…

  112. 112 jpate said at 1:13 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    sanchez looks faster then murray

  113. 113 Crus57 said at 1:13 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    except at recognising the quarter is ending

  114. 114 McNabbulousness said at 1:14 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    or recognizing triple coverage in the redzone.

  115. 115 Checkdown Charlie said at 1:14 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Why even try to line up

  116. 116 JoeBlow said at 1:15 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    it really would have pissed me off if they got that play off

  117. 117 BlindChow said at 1:14 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I wouldn’t mind a Sanchez read option…

  118. 118 Aaron said at 1:14 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I would, hand it off, if murray cant get it in, then who cares, just dont pass

  119. 119 BlindChow said at 1:16 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    naw, handing it to Murray is just like giving up on the drive.

  120. 120 Crus57 said at 1:15 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    think he should fumble it rather than throw an INT, just to switch things up?

  121. 121 Aaron said at 1:15 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    chip will probably run a reverse here

  122. 122 TypicalDouche said at 1:16 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    He’ll run shotgun and a RB pass that gets stuffed for negative 2 yards

  123. 123 JoeBlow said at 1:15 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    i say they hand it off to murray and he gets hit at the 4

  125. 125 JoeBlow said at 1:16 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    he made it to the 3!!!

  126. 126 RobNE said at 1:16 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Run it all 3 times.

  127. 127 Aaron said at 1:16 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    why sproles, why not murray

  128. 128 Aaron said at 1:17 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    well, oh my gosh, unreal, even a blind squirrel finds a nut

  129. 129 McNabbulousness said at 1:17 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    celek’s injured, shit

  130. 130 BlindChow said at 1:17 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    If he’s in on the next play, we can cover a bingo square!

  131. 131 McNabbulousness said at 1:18 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    too soon blindchow, too soon

  132. 132 JoeBlow said at 1:18 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    and the extra point!!! we are so spoiled as fans

  133. 133 Crus57 said at 1:18 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    give thanks!

  134. 134 BlindChow said at 1:19 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    AND a touchback! Everything’s coming up Sturges!

  135. 135 Crus57 said at 1:18 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’m impressed with Joe Buck’s three coloured hair

  136. 136 McNabbulousness said at 1:19 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    yeah, does he realize we all know it’s fake

  137. 137 Crus57 said at 1:19 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    that matches the rest of him

  138. 138 McNabbulousness said at 1:20 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    dass him.

  145. 145 Aaron said at 1:20 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    maxwell just made a play, wow

  146. 146 McNabbulousness said at 1:20 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    holy shit did bad max acutally make a good play?!

  147. 147 BlindChow said at 1:21 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Ugh.

  148. 148 RobNE said at 1:22 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    We need to spy stafford

  149. 149 BlindChow said at 1:22 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I would rather he beat us with his feet tho…

  150. 150 RobNE said at 1:23 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’m joking. Ridiculous we couldn’t get him

  151. 151 McNabbulousness said at 1:22 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    how did he escape?

  152. 152 Aaron said at 1:22 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    how does it feel to know you really suck, defense

  153. 153 RobNE said at 1:25 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Long ding is that you?

  154. 154 Aaron said at 1:25 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    lol

  155. 155 JoeBlow said at 1:23 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Kendricks you are awful

  156. 156 shah8 said at 1:24 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    defense looks uncertain.

  157. 157 Aaron said at 1:24 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    no, they look awful

  158. 158 shah8 said at 1:28 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    was explaining a bit to myself why they look awful.

  159. 159 McNabbulousness said at 1:24 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    carroll down

  160. 160 TypicalDouche said at 1:24 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Could be a blessing in disguise, namely we’ll finally see Rowe.

  161. 161 McNabbulousness said at 1:25 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    ooooo, i almost forgot he was on the team

  162. 162 Aaron said at 1:25 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    thats what im thinking, i mean, does it matter if he’s hurt, hasnt mattered all year, I hope he’s ok, but for the team, meh

  163. 163 TypicalDouche said at 1:25 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Kendricks = Ernie Sims 2.0
    …
    Carroll is a slight, and I mean very slight upgrade over Cary Williams

  164. 164 Crus57 said at 1:26 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Maxwell is a slight upgrade over Asomugha too, in that he’s in the same shot when a pass is completed (and doesn’t point at the safety)

  165. 165 TypicalDouche said at 1:40 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Well to defend Maxwell the Eagles signed a press man corner that never presses ever and that’s on coaching.

  166. 166 Crus57 said at 1:41 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I was just thinking that myself, shocking defensive choices. Not like we aren’t getting beat anyway, why not press?

  167. 167 TypicalDouche said at 1:46 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    That’s all coaching.

  168. 168 McNabbulousness said at 1:28 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    no no, that’s unfair, kendricks is waaayyy better than ernie sims

  169. 169 TypicalDouche said at 1:39 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    wayyyyy better?..Kendricks has been awful this year how can you say he’s way better. Forget passed seasons its about how he’s playing now and that is definitely Ernie Simsesque.

  170. 170 McNabbulousness said at 11:25 PM on November 29th, 2015:

    small sample size if you’re just taking into account the last handful of games

  171. 171 JoeBlow said at 1:26 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    it took Kendricks a week to diagnose that screen play then it looked like he was running in quicksand to get to the ballcarrier

  172. 172 Aaron said at 1:28 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    welcome to the nfl rook

  173. 173 RobNE said at 1:28 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    We get no pressure on the QB.

  174. 174 JoeBlow said at 1:29 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    and no pressure on the receivers

  175. 175 Crus57 said at 1:29 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    we have got some, but the receivers get such a cushion the QB can get the ball out quick

  176. 176 RobNE said at 1:31 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    When hAve we knocked stafford down?

  177. 177 daveH said at 1:33 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    almost.
    we are a franchise of almosts.
    we almost got him on 3rd.

  178. 178 Aaron said at 1:29 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    maxwell living up the pre season hype

  179. 179 shah8 said at 1:29 PM on November 26th, 2015:

  190. 190 shah8 said at 1:31 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    the guy literally walked in.

  191. 191 RobNE said at 1:31 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Our D is awful. Unbelievable.

  192. 192 Checkdown Charlie said at 1:33 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Our D-line is the start of all the problems

  193. 193 Will:↑↑↓↓←→←→BA said at 1:32 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’ll have the Billy D special

  194. 194 Aaron said at 1:33 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    when you think about it, it is really comical to think this is a pro team, luries is probably drinking like a fish now

  195. 195 BlindChow said at 1:33 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    We should post all the fluffing this defense got in the comments a few weeks ago. This is just a repeat of last year. Start competent, but by the end of the year they couldn’t stop anyone.

  196. 196 ChoTime said at 2:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    They were ranked like #3 in DVOA a few weeks ago. Something has changed.

  197. 197 Crus57 said at 2:14 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    They got to #2 even. But it has all changed since Hicks went out. Remember, Hicks also had the headset in his helmet and was in charge of getting the D lined up.

  198. 198 jpate said at 1:33 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Chimp maybe didn’t loose the whole team yet but hes def lost the defense

  199. 199 RobNE said at 1:33 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Is the D scheme or talent? I really think we need a pure pass rusher. But even without that should it be this bad?

  200. 200 Media Mike said at 1:33 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Billy Davis

  201. 201 Checkdown Charlie said at 1:34 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    It’s Hicks fault

  202. 202 BlindChow said at 1:35 PM on November 26th, 2015:

  203. 203 daveH said at 1:37 PM on November 26th, 2015:

  204. 204 Aaron said at 1:36 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    they’ve quit folks, put a fork in em

  205. 205 BlindChow said at 1:36 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    This is the most incompetent screen team i’ve ever seen…

  206. 206 Aaron said at 1:36 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    just screen

  207. 207 daveH said at 1:36 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    agholar lined up offisides .. holding on the play anyway

  208. 208 RobNE said at 1:36 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Is our O or D worse right now?

  209. 209 Crus57 said at 1:37 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Yes.

  210. 210 Aaron said at 1:37 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    good question, they
    are serious arguements for both sides on this

  211. 211 BlindChow said at 1:37 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I think Ajiritutu the best player on the team today.

  212. 212 JoeBlow said at 1:38 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    i’m about to watch bull riding instead of this game

  213. 213 RobNE said at 1:39 PM on November 26th, 2015:

  217. 217 BlindChow said at 1:42 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Wow, it’s like if they blitz they actually have success…weird.

  218. 218 JoeBlow said at 1:42 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    is that an ed reynolds sighting?

  219. 219 RobNE said at 1:43 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    We are getting solidly beaten by the Lions. This is sad.

  220. 220 Aaron said at 1:44 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    got solidly beaten by a rookie qb last week

  221. 221 TypicalDouche said at 1:44 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    It’s actually not that sad being that the Lions have been playing good football recently.

  222. 222 RobNE said at 1:44 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Wow the side effects for Chantix are bad.

  223. 223 Media Mike said at 1:45 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Can Billy Davis please take a lot of it? How about Kelce?

  224. 224 Checkdown Charlie said at 1:45 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    But the dreams rock

  225. 225 Media Mike said at 1:44 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Big drive coming up here! Hopefully we get back in the game.

  226. 226 Aaron said at 1:45 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    you serious clark

  227. 227 TypicalDouche said at 1:45 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Then you awoke from that dream.

  228. 228 Aaron said at 1:46 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    the quickest 3 and out in the league

  229. 229 shah8 said at 1:48 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    40 seconds.

  230. 230 BlindChow said at 1:48 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Well, at least we can all eat early now.

  231. 231 Media Mike said at 1:48 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Lane Johnson thinks you suck.

  232. 232 BlindChow said at 1:49 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    In my defense, I have allowed fewer sacks than him this game…

  233. 233 daveH said at 1:50 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Lane thinks I suck also

  234. 234 RobNE said at 1:52 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Really what is he thinking saying that. The team sucks.

  235. 235 daveH said at 1:48 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    if “3r and Long” was on the bongo board it’d have holes in it

  236. 236 RobNE said at 1:48 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Yes let’s throw to Austin

  237. 237 Aaron said at 1:48 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I wouldnt throw it to austin if he was 50yds behind his man

  238. 238 daveH said at 1:48 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    40 second 3 and out … yuck

  239. 239 Aaron said at 1:48 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    40 second drive, told ya, quickest 3 and out in the league

  240. 240 daveH said at 1:52 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    and the MOST of them

  241. 241 808 Eagle said at 1:49 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    It seems like a distant memory when the Eagles stomped all over the lions in the snow bowl.

  242. 242 Crus57 said at 1:50 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    well, the first half didn’t go well for us then, either

  243. 243 RobNE said at 1:50 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    No one covered Calvin Johnson.

  244. 244 shah8 said at 1:51 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    yeah, defense has given up.

  245. 245 shah8 said at 1:51 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’m probably not watching the second half.

  246. 246 Media Mike said at 1:51 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Don’t quit!

  247. 247 shah8 said at 1:52 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I didn’t quit. The team quit on me.

  248. 248 daveH said at 1:52 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    at least I don’t feel like smashing my tv

  249. 249 RobNE said at 1:53 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Only bc our expectations are so low

  250. 250 Aaron said at 1:53 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    me neither, Im goin huntin

  251. 251 mhrinda said at 1:54 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Happy Thanksgiving Everybody

    Please fire Chip Kelly

  252. 252 Media Mike said at 1:55 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I can’t go there until the end of next season, but I hear you.

  253. 253 BlindChow said at 1:55 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Ooh nice, we’re using our timeouts so the Lions can get one more possession after they score.

  254. 254 TypicalDouche said at 1:55 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    A couple of thoughts
    -Cox is great but too inconsistent.You would think a dominant player shows up every week not once every 3 weeks.
    -The defensive line is overrated.
    -Alonso and Kendricks are just bodies out there doing nothing.
    -Wanting to play man to man but never pressing is down right stupid.
    -Sanchez has no pocket presence at all.
    -Demarco is playing with no passion at all from what I can see.

  255. 255 Media Mike said at 1:56 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’d like to see if we could trade Murray back to Dallas for their 2nd rounder.

  256. 256 JoeBlow said at 1:55 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Here comes the part where Chip calls a timeout to save time for the other teams offense just so he can get the ball back on his own 15 with 20 seconds left and call 3 pass plays

  257. 257 Aaron said at 1:56 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    wow, ever liions wr is wide open

  258. 258 daveH said at 1:58 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    does Maxwell play 3 yards off everyone ??

  259. 259 Aaron said at 1:58 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    no, he plays about 9 yds off

  260. 260 Crus57 said at 1:57 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    So basically, without rookie Jordan Hicks, the middle of our defense is a literal gaping hole

  261. 261 Aaron said at 1:58 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    who backs up sanchez

  262. 262 JoeBlow said at 1:59 PM on November 26th, 2015:

  265. 265 jpate said at 1:58 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    i don’t think the 2012 defense was this bad

  266. 266 Media Mike said at 1:58 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Rowe actually looked functional on the last two passes his way.

  267. 267 BlindChow said at 1:59 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    As long as Johnson just runs straight without stopping, Rowe is fine.

  268. 268 Media Mike said at 2:00 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    He didn’t that time! Ouch.

  269. 269 daveH said at 2:04 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    he was still with him at least .. perfect throw

  270. 270 daveH said at 1:59 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    im OK with with how Rowe is looking so far …. is MS2 in ?

  271. 271 daveH said at 2:02 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I knew I’d jinx him … but still he was ontop of CJ ..perfect throw and Jim Buck just bashed the coaching

  272. 272 RobNE said at 1:59 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Every game I think we will come out and play well. Why do I think that despite all evidence?

    It’s not like we can’t do it, we just haven’t for a while now

  277. 277 Iskar36 said at 2:01 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    So which comes first in the second half post. Tommy writing “ugh” or “I did not see this happening.”

  278. 278 truthchief said at 2:01 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Dear Mr Lurie, Thanks for helping to make this day of thanks so special. I am now awaiting my 2 Cowboy Fan extended family members to talk down to me. We are all so happy to play on thanksgiving. I know its not your choice whether you play on this special of Holidays, but perhaps just dont gas up the charter if picked to play again.

  279. 279 JoeBlow said at 2:02 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Aikman rightfully giving it to Billy Davis

  280. 280 BlindChow said at 2:02 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Is it “press coverage” if the DB doesn’t even move to touch the receiver at the line?

  281. 281 jpate said at 2:02 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Thank you aikman for saying what majority of eagles fans have been saying since billy d has been here

  282. 282 Aaron said at 2:02 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    man, rowe, quit, just like everone else, didnt even put his hands up, you suck chip kelly, you suck so bad, I hope you dont even come out in the second half, your, YOUR team has quit on us, this team takes it balls deep, all of them

  283. 283 TypicalDouche said at 2:05 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    That’s incorrect pal. In no way did Rowe quit, he was put in a position of failure on that play. Rookie play press man against one of the greatest WRs ever in press man single high safety on a 3rd and 17 makes no sense whatsoever.

  284. 284 Aaron said at 2:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    but its like he didnt even try, looked lost, did you see him not even try to deflect the ball, but youre right, no help, no help at all, i dont think ive ever been this disgusted with the eagles as I have this year

  285. 285 TypicalDouche said at 2:07 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Playing only a hand full of snaps on the year then going against Megatron is really hard for a rookie.

  286. 286 TypicalDouche said at 2:03 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    So you finally play press but it comes on a 3rd and 17? That makes no sense, then on top of it you play single high safety with a rookie on one of the best receivers to ever play the game. I’ve vouched for Davis but he must go.

  287. 287 BlindChow said at 2:03 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    It wasn’t “press.” He just didn’t have the 10-yard cushion that Maxwell usually gives the receiver.

  288. 288 TypicalDouche said at 2:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    It was def press man coverage brother,cover 3 for sure with single high safety.

  289. 289 TypicalDouche said at 2:16 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    We’re talking about Rowe, who cares what Maxwell was doing on the other side. Just because it’s press it doesn’t mean both corners have to press at the same time. Rowe was absolutely in press man coverage and gave up the TD.

  290. 290 ACViking said at 2:03 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    89-27 … Opponents v. Eagles the last 9 quarters

  291. 291 jpate said at 2:04 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    End of the era in your opinion?

  292. 292 daveH said at 2:05 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    chip’s era a 40 second 3 and out

  293. 293 ACViking said at 2:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Eagles are heading to 10th loss in last 15 games. The problems seem deeper than not having a franchise quarterback.

  294. 294 TypicalDouche said at 2:09 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I would disagree respectively AC. A true good franchise QB in this offense and it would be prolific, although that doesn’t mean the defense would be improved.

  295. 295 shah8 said at 2:03 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’m pretty sure this is Chip’s last year. My feeling is that the team has given up on him. No coach survives that.

  296. 296 jpate said at 2:05 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Agreed. The body language is bad. Notice nobody was even excited about a sack in a manageable 10 point game (not that I blame them)

  297. 297 RobNE said at 2:04 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    We took a knee!! Baby steps!

  298. 298 Crus57 said at 2:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    research shows that teams that take a knee in the second half have an almost 100% winning record

  299. 299 JoeBlow said at 2:04 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Chip and Billy Davis should go into the locker room and put on some lipstick

  300. 300 mhrinda said at 2:04 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Chip and his staff are unwilling to change and adapt
    That really is his ultimate undoing

  301. 301 myartz04 said at 2:05 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Aikman said it best. Coaching staff is too stubborn on their schemes.

  302. 302 RobNE said at 2:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

  304. 304 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:06 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    So my laptop has been serving as the TV for the house. Don’t ask.

    Is the “Chip must go” bandwagon gaining passengers? It should be.

    I get Tommy’s big picture points, but this is not a team that has developed in a positive fashion. One could have said the defense improved with the upgrade at DB, but now?

    I hope Chip leaves for USC.

    I know some people don’t want to hear this name, but about a month ago Heath Evans was on Nfl network and was making his predictions for the rest of the year for the birds….he went hyperbolic and picked them to finish 6-10, but was really just being an asshole like he always is……sadly this team will be lucky to finish 6-10 and he and schlereth can gloat

  308. 308 Media Mike said at 2:08 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    or both die.

  309. 309 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

  310. 310 Crus57 said at 2:12 PM on November 26th, 2015:

  321. 321 Tumtum said at 2:09 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    How do you keep a coach who can’t get his players to give any effort?

  322. 322 Aaron said at 2:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    agree, but it doesnt say alot for the players either, im gt500

  323. 323 Media Mike said at 2:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I’m likely to get outvoted, but I still don’t want to fire Chip until after 2016 season.

    I want some players cut and Billy Davis gone first. Then I want to see what Chip can fix this off-season.

  324. 324 RobNE said at 2:10 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I agree.

  325. 325 Aaron said at 2:11 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I can wait till Christmas to get my gift

  330. 330 Media Mike said at 2:12 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I don’t see Lurie pulling the trigger, which might be way I’m not going to call for Chip’s head.

  331. 331 mhrinda said at 2:14 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    There’s plenty good college jobs to take
    Chip quitting works for me too

  332. 332 JoeBlow said at 2:12 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    i agree, don’t know who you hire if you fire the coach and you would have to gut everyone on the coaching staff pretty much…a lot of turnaround

  333. 333 Joe Minx said at 2:14 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I honestly don’t know where I’m at in regards to that right now. The fact that I’m even considering it now is devastating to me.

    Regardless, massive change is needed.

    Dripping down his goatee and onto his fat stomach. Then he takes his fingers and sweeps up the drippings and puts it into his mouth. Buurp

  345. 345 myartz04 said at 2:19 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Sadly, I agree with Media Mike. I’m cool with Chip one more year, but you have to hire a better D coordinator.

  346. 346 Media Mike said at 2:20 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Don’t be sad!

  347. 347 myartz04 said at 2:21 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Emotional right now. I want everyone fired. But that’s what teams like the Browns do. And I live near Cleveland and I don’t want that.

  348. 348 Media Mike said at 2:21 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Yeah, you can’t have a new coach every 10 days. There needs to be some changes, but I still can’t fire Chip.

  349. 349 myartz04 said at 2:23 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Chip needs to look in the mirror though. He needs to change himself. I used to think he was smart enough to adapt. I’m questioning that right now.

  350. 350 Media Mike said at 2:23 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    100% fair.

  351. 351 JoeBlow said at 2:23 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    i agree

  352. 352 Crus57 said at 2:25 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    The worst thing is he has adapted, all his “crazy gimmicks” that were working in our first season are basically all gone, I’m not even sure we run packaged plays anymore.

  353. 353 mhrinda said at 2:29 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    He is a coach GM that’s unwilling to change and adapt
    That’s why he needs to go
    We need to at least have a head coach that has NFL experience.

  354. 354 Media Mike said at 2:30 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    I hear you, but I guess I’ll have to keep posting mock drafts and/or free agency simulations to help him out.

  355. 355 mhrinda said at 2:32 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Yes please
    But it won’t do no good: It’s chip’s way or the highway

  356. 356 Media Mike said at 2:33 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    Sure, but at least I’ll have some good players to claim I wanted to draft in retrospect.

  357. 357 daveH said at 2:37 PM on November 26th, 2015:

    his contract is guaranteed so if he get canned he get paid in full. that’s way too good of a deal for him.
