2nd Half – PHI 17 , BUF 10
Posted: December 13th, 2015 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 446 Comments »Interesting 1st half. The Eagles started great. Then fizzled for a while. Then Bradford hit Agholor for a long TD on 2nd/26.
As for the RB comparison…
First half stats: LeSean McCoy — 12 carries, 63 yards; 2 rec, 16 yards Eagles RBs — 13 carries, 63 yards, TD; 6 rec, 11 yards
— Matt Mullin (@matt_mullin) December 13, 2015
Good half for McCoy, but the Eagles can live with that as well. Except for one 28-yd run, Shady has been pretty methodical.
Biggest concern in the 2nd half is deep coverage. Sammy Watkins has one long TD. They’ve thrown deep to him other times without success. Still, those plays make you nervous.
Eagles offense needs to help the defense by sustaining some drives. They get the ball first in the 2nd half. Go get points there and take control of this game.
_
pound the ball!
Feeling good. Taylor is seeing ghosts. Bradford is seeing receivers open.
Another great 1 liner by the color guy: “Ryan Mattews gets the start surprisingly…”
Spiro Thetis and Solomon Wilcox are the announcers, apparently
When will directv sync local radio call to game and let you choose?
when they can find a way to charge for it?
skins killing the bears
love how Huff catches a 70 yd kickoff end over end ball with his hands but is prone to dropping easy passes
Like them taking long shots
no they are allowing substitutions you idiot announcer whoever you are
Did I see shady give the middle finger???
come on, pick up this 3rd n short
got to at least get a hand on the backside defender….that is one reason people criticize this offense
Did I hear boos when Murray came onto the field?
would have been a great zone read play. super aggressive off the edge
Hey a good run by Murray
bradford getting confident
getting first downs
did ertz even see the ball
Nope
nope, linebacker was in his vision
ill take it!!
fuck
Brady … I mean Bradford is on fire
D needs to make a statement here to start half.
that statement should not be “we suck”
That is the price you pay to have a blocking TE on the field…wait…
Hey never saw it. Not fair to criticize
True. Bradford needs to lodge that one in his facemask.
Seriously I cant really ever hate on Celek. That dude is a true eagle
He was sarcastically talking about ertz drop
Bears respond. 21-14 wash
Sturgis taking advantage of the weather…kicking those balls through the end zone…nice
Off topic, but that movie “The Revenant” looks bad ass
Rowe on Watkins there
Damn, Maxwell sucks.
nah
that was an odd route, like some kind of deep jerk route
Carolina might blank the falcons, how their season has gone all the way downhill — no one has talked about that at all.
will this be 7 straight losses?
yeah 6-0 to 6-7. about to get blown out b 30 pts.
woof!
Imagine how bad it would be around here if that happened to us
No, they were 5-0, lost one, won one and now losing 6th in row.
Bears coming back!
got lucky there.
Jenkins happened there
Maxwell needs to split his salary w. jenkins.
60/40 split
Bears tie it up. 21-21
wow!!
JAcksonville is sneaky good.
As soon as the commentator said that Hogan is sneaky good I thought.. I bet he’s white.
I could tell he was white even before the comment was made.
I wasn’t paying attention, couldn’t remember that when the guy said it.
Yeah, just having fun.
You are right, there are definitely some phrases that are only used for certain race/position combinations.
Forte td!
DA BEARS!!!!
We need a TD, extend this lead, take this W
This whole commercial-KO-commercial combo is the worst.
yup, usually i just ignore the tv for 10 minutes but w/ the eagles you never know
Could the Jaguars win the AFC South?
Not the time for 3 and out
He was way early. Cooper can’t get a flag cuz he sux
wow….awful series of events right there
Just what we didn’t need.
AgS wide open
They call late hit but completely miss block in back on Burton.
So you can hit a guy before he catches it, but not on his last step before he gets to the sideline. Got it.
you can also grab a guy’s facemask as long as you pull down not sideways
That one comes with a bonus 10-second runoff if you do it right.
SEA’s offense is going crazy. Wilson 15tds in last 4 games no picks.
Rams going to win a game w/ Case Keenum (really todd gurley)
What happened to their franchise QB
anyone expecting a stop here…bad feeling
pressure please!
Can we stop 3 and 13? I give it 50-50
how is that possible.
our fucking edge rusher was tackled!!!!!!!
Where is the hold on curry
fucking hit somebody maxwell
Maxwell is such a puss
I’m done with Billy Davis.
Its weird. He’ll get really good play from the D at times, but I just disagree so mich with some of his thinking. For example we we dont spy TT on 3 and long is nuts to me.
Not good at game planning big $ situations (3rd down / red zone).
Just realized we aren’t spying TT
Bad angle by Alonso
kiko… dammit
awful Alonzo
Mike fricking Gillislee? You have to be kidding me.
Of course on Taylor’s run, these dumbass refs missed holding on Curry.
This is so depressing
yeah game was in hand
Honeslty why is kiko playing? He’s been responsible for a number of big runs. Put goode in there. LEss athletc put probably more scheme sound.
Where’s the 15yd penalty for using the ball as a prop on the TD celebration?
How bad is it
D keeps doing good work to get them in 3rd down and long, then they convert. Also the refs aren’t calling the Bills for holding even when it’s blatant in front of a ref
Tied at 20. Play matches, officiating awful.
i thought the 15 yrd penalty trumps?
Our starting position v theirs is pathetic
got one right refs.. good job
Thought offsetting meant no play and re-kick the ball.
Because it happend on the return it doesnt
Is murray playing
Hurry up
was huff lateraling it?
Looked like it
you got to snap it there…
That was too blatant to ignore.
he was out.
i hope.
Not enough to overturn
yeah i don’t know what he was doing htere.
the hell was he thinking though?
Barely but who knows what hochuli will see
Ball was out of bounds.
40 point shut out in ATL at end of 3rd quarter.
What was he doing there, unless he thought he was farther out?
Being Huff. Talented, flashes of good skill, some bonehead mistakes.
Oh Huff, why do you do this to us? You could be so electric, if only we weren’t equally likely to get shocked.
kelce with his head in his ass again
Think it’s time to go deep again here.
good thinking
I was thinking on 1st down.
I wish my mood wasn’t so dependent on the next qtr of this game
It’s funny how that works, but Monday goes a lot sweeter after a win.
i want to see rex lose it.
Wow
classic eagles.
INCOMPLETE
Hit ground
FUCKING INCOMPLETE
Hit the ground
I feel like we are watching game between two truly evenly matched teams
evenly terrible unforutnately
def hit the ground and aided his catch
ball hit the ground, hopefully they overturn
Hope that is overturned.
Bradford’s passes have been on point — he’s really playing at a high level.
Celek needs to hold on to that.
That bounced off the turf.
But how will our D hold them at the end?
Should be overturned, thus I expect them to uphold ‘cos screw us.
Wow Atlanta has really just collapsed…u never bought into the hype but man they are garbage
These refs are on the take.
What!!
wait wait, the Lyrica advert has so many side effects they had to bring in a robot voice to read them all?
Hockuli’s been incompetent for decades.
Hochuli is such a moron
un fucking believable.
jax 8 for 8 in the redzone. that’s crazy.
there is no way that would stood for the eagles.
Rowe is a beast
That was very clearly not a catch
yeah if coop was not a catch that def wasn’t a catch
Des Bryant wants an explanation
hold.
Bogus catch
It’s not that big a deal
I’m not saying safety, but i’m saying we should be going for it.
please blitz here.
Rowe is a beast!!!
Why was the holding call but half the distance?!
ed reynolds
fuck.
Holding
ROWE!!!!!!!!!
Shocker
I hate this. I deserve better.
kiko is playing terribly.
He has been for a few weeks
3rd and 9 and the idiots give up 10 yards.
Nice wrap, Reynolds.
Barwin blew the tackle on the screen pass
Yep.
time to spy taylor
Memo to billy. He can run.
ps. announcers suck.
Pls blitz.
Have a bad feelin
can decline.
obvious hold
Eagles have better shot of stopping them on 3rd and short than 3rd and long.
i hate third and long.
We’re gonna get destroyed by the Cardinals but if we win this the dream of 8-8 is still alive!
Everyone said the same thing about new england
You’re right
thank you sprolsey
Sproles!!
Filthy
I want this win sooooo bad
Eric freaking Rowe this game… Such a stud
Come on points please
*sigh*
Damn, you consider going for it here. Not much benefit if there’s a touchback.
agree, i would have gone for it.
here comes an 8 minute TD drive
or fg.
try a pick 6 !!!
We had the ball for 8 seconds. Sigh.
yeah bit stop and then right back out there. I think they’ve ben too balance in their offense, would almost prefer they throw more, but palyers gotta make tough catches.
Good punt.
Come on D!
You guys will never believe the play that just happened in the Redskins game. I’ll just let you see it on the highlights. But it’s not good for us
Saw it!!
saw it, freaking lucky
Let’s go!
pressure please.
how is that possible…..
Ridiculous spot
davis you stupid idiot, please blitz.
Ive been screaming the same thing all game
I hate this team.
Cox
did he get two feet in
No they won’t go for it on third down idiot
2nd and 20. We give up 16.
challenge?
how are their guys wide open but we’re always throwing to well covered WRs?
Their Guys have all day to run routes
this right here
Dumb challenge
i think by the time he caught it, the second foot was in the air.
Who is this dedicated review guy? Fire him
This is whe chip challenges? Wow. Waste of a TO
Good challenge.
For buffalo
eh It’s equivalent to a timeout anyway, so not terrible
nevemind thats a catch.
did he bobble it at first?
Did he pick he foot up before catching the ball so that what looks like his third step is actually his second
My Jaguars will be good one day
good coverage by maxwell… amazing.
I’ll take it. Bad play call
i’ll take anything.
ugh rowe injured.
Need a nice long drive here
fuck, they’ll go at whoever comes in for rowe.
Uh oh, Eric Rowe hurt.
He’s okay
sproles for the win!
Ugh Gould missed fg to tie
2 weeks in a row he misses a critical FG
I’m scared
Get a dog
I have one…still scared
Oh God
a d coordinator that knows blitz.
Huff out
Nice
that was special
Need 7
What a play
Huff may be hurt bad.
concussed.
Announcers are so bad. He had already caught it
Ugh use some clock
i believe they are trying
Settling for FG
Too much time for this plan.
nice hard count
The Eagles are too conservative here.
Yep.
I don’t trust this D I wanted 7
Thanks, dumbass Bills.
Yay
I love these drops
Unreal with the drops
all for naught.
allright D. up to you
*shudder*
Now I’m scared
Needed 7 there
Come on, D.
Has the slant pass worked even one time this year?
against us? sure
62 + 35 is now more than 100
I hope that guy has an accountant, or the IRS are gonna be all over him
Zero confidence in Davis and this defense to seal this game up
unfortunate but true.
Yeah I’m worried
is rowe in?
If he’s not were toast
i think watkins is in for him?
*shudder*
Rowe is in but max shadowed Watkins on the other side that play
If I’m Bills, I go deep here.
Solomon Wilcotts pulling for a bills win here
HOLD!
-_-
two holds there.
Bills have been clotheslining all game
third and long… poop
*gulp*
My jaguars in the playoff race or nah?
Who cares right now?
Me
Huuuuge play here, our specialty…
Crap third and long our achilles
yes yes yes
Need a first
Yeah games not over…need one first
illegal contact by maxwell but wahtev.
You punt here if you’re BUF?
Yes
3 TO and the 2 minute warning
Maxwell earned his paycheck today
i better not see murray in the game here
Or barner
He is, but to be fair, he’s done better than Mathews this game.
First down wins it
screen?
Yep, Sam fall on it if it’s not there
8 guys in the box…..going to be no room to run
Why don’t they go heavy and put in a 6th OL?
murray still in ugh
how has bradford looked
he has done well
great actualy
shut up solomon, not that many people can convert third and six by running
Might as well pass, they won’t call time out here anyway
offsides
Kelly too conservative. You know Reid would have passed it.
play action right now
So dumb
why not throw it away…. its the 2 minute warning anyway.
Throw it away!!
Welp
WTF
well that was the worst way to end the drive.
Still scared
How do you lose 15 yards there? Throw it away. Nick Foles type play.
I think he wanted to make sure to get to the 2- minute warning. Although it is going to stop after the punt anyway, so I guess it doesn’t matter.
I thought Chip’s mantra was to score points??? He’s playing so conservative there’s 0 margin for error.
Donny football time
Really need Donnie to kick the hell out of that ball.
Need that Redskins like punt Donnie gave once upon a time
Carpenter can hit from 60
OT at best I fear…
would love a shady fumble here
pick 6
Better not
Kneel down time
Thatd be glorious
Feels like we are going to shit the bed the last 2 minutes.
So stupid to not get a first down…
delay!
Welp time to pray for a stop
That was intentionally to set up the third and long
Win!!!
delicious
Winner
Chicken wing dinner…thank god we held…
like i said. i love ed reynolds.
hahah, ive been ripping the guy all year…..big play kid
Ball game.
Let’s go
give hte d line credit for being in taylors head
YEAH BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scrumptious
Reynolds makes a play?! Tip of the cap to the defense and I’ll eat some major crow, defense held twice and capped it.
Excellent defensive play by the whole D
Curry killing their D line.
So thats why Reynolds was playing I guess
couldnt the bills have forced a punt with one timeout?
there might have been like a couple seconds left
each down takes 30s, only just over a minute left so not quite
Nope
nevermind, its 40 second playclock so just barely no.
Nah. 40 seconds per down and one timeout. There were less than 80 seconds left
Going to have to play better against Arizona to have a chance.
yeah we payed aggressively in the 1st half but not much to like in the seoncd half
Ok bills get over it and beat Washington next week
Okay. I believe that means next week doesn’t matter. Win the last two and we get the division
Yes I think that is correct.
Yup. Need to win the division games. Arizona game will not affect any tiebreakers. Other than the first one, w-l record.
be nice to win again anyway….just to keep momentum going
Beating Az would be bigger than NE
5 more days
That was the worst officiated, worst announced beautiful game I’ve ever seen.
So true
I listened to merril
“Ya gotta stick your foot in the ground.”
I generally tune the announcers out, but the officiating was terrible. Even though there was a huge discrepancy in penalties, it seems like all the judgement calls went against the Eagles. In general, I can’t stand watching games with so many flags. Would like to never see a Hochuli game again.
Shady can eat some of that….dude was awful this week and loved him
So 2 wins in a row. Patriots not a fluke. 3–1 against AFC east not bad.
I bet if you told someone before the year we’d go 3-1 against AFC east losing to the dolphins is the last team theyd expect…
Nah but if you told me 3-1 vs AFC East I figured at least 10-6 or 11-5 this year.
Only losing vs Miami after leading 19-3.. what a crazy season.
guarantee, all the talk this week will be about bradford taking the sack
I liked the sack. The commentator is dumb. 15 yards was bad but he held it until the 2 min warning and kept the ball safe. Actually heady and fine by me.
A throw out of bounds at least takes 2 seconds and you don’t lose 14 yards of field position in a game decided by a FG. Worst case scenario is 2 min warning on the punt/ change of possession. Not a “heady” play at all.
Didnt say he was superman. Maybe Mike Vick can get rid of it there. Probably not though.
The clock made no difference there. Since the clock would have stopped after the punt anyway, it didn’t really matter if we ran that play after the 2 minute warning or just prior to it. The yards were without question more valuable.
He wanted to throw it away. He didn’t carelessly toss it. Remember he has to get it back to los and out f bounds. The way he was running for his life it didn’t happen. I liked it.
Wow shady left before anyone else
How about the Jags scoring 42 in the second half?!
My Jags are still in this
Skins finally win a road game. Now root for the Packere and Fins and hopefully the Seahawks don’t end up as the 1st WC.
Gimme the Seahawks I want to tear that up
It would look a lot like today, wilson running for first down, but the seahawks and Bills OL are worse In the bottom 5 at pass protecting, so our Defesive Line would have to be districtive and lead us to awin like today
..
Stylisticalky bills are good practice to play seahawks.. Similar strengths/weakness
“Everytime i watch a Rex ryan football team, i think to myself this must be the dumbest football team i’ve ever seen”- Brian Westbrook
So play of the game:
1. Braman’s fumble recovery on botched punt
2. Ertz tackle breaking 41 yard catch and run in the 4th
3. Reynolds game clinching INT
???
Nelson on 2nd 26
Good point, that was pretty clutch
What about Sam stepping up to make that throw
good question Agouda
dennis kelly not holding on the final drive.
when we ran the clock out? lol
haha that too
finally looks like reynolds is worth that 5th rounder!
Ridiculous that he was in the practice squad behind Jerome Couplin who wasn’t very good… Couplins injury probably cost him his job with reynolds making plays
smarts vs talent. they said ed is good at recognizing plays gettng d set. makes him a good fs when he just needs to diagnose and ball hawk.
I’m sure the whiners will be complaining but this was a solid win. Genuinely curious to see how this team sticks with Cardinals next week.
Yeah we will really find out where we stand next week, but regardless, TODAYS win put us in position where beating skins and Giants wins us the division.
..
Amazing that Bradford is basically undefeated in the Patriots division. beat the bills team fighting for playoff spot, beat the undefeated jets at the time and their top defense.. When SAM left the miami game he left us a 19-3 lead..
..
Doubt many would have predicted SAM almost running the table in that division.
..
SAM is now 5-1 over the last 6 games he finished
Sam Bradford. Our Guy???
maybe?! has to be for at least this season!
As long as he stays healthy, he will get extended
Yeah he’s played well… Don’t see why he can’t get a 4/65/30
Ugh. Yes.
Cassel face…
can somebody please get Ed Rendell off of Eagles postgame?
He has nothing to say and his voice is phlemy and uncomfortable to listen to.
Truth
Interesting to hear kelly crediting having a healthy 53-man roster this week and getting in a full week of practice.
zinged the media aswell
What did he say
mcclane asked about media distraction. chip said people just make stuff of for twitter hits. mentioned a story about him calling mccoy and mccoy hanging up or something as not being true.
and he was like was that you? mcclane said yes and chip gave him a you’re pathetic look and then walked out of the pc
Kind of get the impression that mcclane is kind of an attention grabbing douche bag who is not well liked by his peers in the media either.
Kind of reminds me a bit of Eliot shorr parks only more high profile
Yeah he shit all over the mcclane story in the inquirer and just ended the press conference right after
“Just someone looking for twitter hits” lol
How long til Kempski complains about hurting our draft position???
3….2…1…

Pay that man his money!!!!
That was was of the worst pass blocking OL in the league, and the DL stepped up and treated them as such, taking over the game. They had a lot of stupid penalties, but a bunch of those penalties were neccessary, incognito and the bills OL Couldnt block us, they had to hold us to keep their QB from getting killed.. Our Defensive Line’s talent forced them into like 5 holding penalties.. They couldn’t block us
There were at least 3 times their O-line should have been called for holding that the refs missed.
Cox and curry may have forced like 5 holding penalties to keep their QB from Getting crushed..our DL talent forced like 50 yards in penalties lol
Bigtime win..
..
SAM played better than his stats show…most of his incompletions were bad drops again on perfect ball placement… The I NT is Celeks fault, big veteran monster lets a pip squeek take the catch from him..Coop dropped the bomb of course…SAM keeps improving and stay healthy, and finally we should have some stability at QB… Kid is tougher than gets credit for, he takes a beating and it doesn’t seem to rattle him. It got to a point where he was being blitzed an hit every play yet SAM continues to stay tall in the pocket, eyes down field,not being rattled by the hits he is taking.. Can’t wait to see what he looks like when we put some more Talemt around him.
..
Hopefully Today AGHOLARr got some confidemce and starts contributing down the stretch. Great TD. Nice to see SAM so aggressive taking shots downfield all game..
..
Going into this game I thought that if we were going to win, the DL had to step up and dominate. The Bills came into this game with one of the 5 worst pass blocking OL’s and Fox, Curry and the Boys stepped up and took the game over.
.
The bills had a ton of dumb penalties, but like 5 of them were survival penalties. If Incognito can’t stop Fletcher Cox, he has no choice but to hold him to stop his QB from Gettimg killed. So it’s not a question of being Undiscaplined, It’s our DL playing so Dominant that they forced the line to commit a ton of penalties to keep their QB from getting crushed.
..
Cox and Jenkins are the best defenders and they both showed up and led us to a big win holding a good team to 20 points
..
Bigtime play from ERTZ in crunch time to make up for Celek letting a tiny DB take the pass outof his hands
..
injury to Couplin has become a blessing. Reynolds stepped up and the kid is having a nice little start to his NFL career, making plays for us in our subpackages
Shady…only shake was on the field. Punk.
Pretty much. He didn’t shake hands with anybody or even stay on the field to congrats to his ex-teammates. Sore loser and poor sportsmanship but what I expected from McCoy.
he comes off looking terrible instead of being the bigger man
He just shook past the reporters in the locker room refusing to answer questions lol such a sore lil bitch
I didn’t follow the thread through the game, but I really hope Bills fans don’t complain about the Huff pick play. Ertz catches the ball (barely) before the collision, which would make it a legal block, if it even would have been OPI otherwise.
They didn’t get called for holding 87 times they have no standing to complain.
Lol tabloid clown Jeff McLane says he stands by his story 100%
..
Hope he isn’t allowed at chips press comfrence tmorrow
Well we won’t play Lil Shady until 2019 when he’s 31 (chances are good his career will fade by then) and he ain’t going anywhere with his dead cap money so really I don’t care about this Shady drama anymore.
