2nd Half – PHI 21 , NYG 20

Posted: January 3rd, 2016 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 720 Comments »

What is wrong with this team?

In a “must lose game” the Eagles have a long TD run by DeMarco Murray, a TFL by Kiko Alonso and a sack by Marcus Smith. How are you supposed to lose a game when that stuff happens?

Pat Shurmur needs to give a spirited “53 Mediocre Men” speech at halftime. Focus on Jordan Matthews big drop, Sam Bradford’s INT and porous run defense. Ask for more of that. Plead if you must. Let them know what is on the line and that winning simply isn’t an option.

Go Giants!!!

Here’s a highball to you . . . the last 2nd-half thread ’til 9/16.

53 neutered men speech under way
3 Eagles_Fan_in_San_Fran said at 2:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Since they are likely 53 Disinterested Men at this point, no one is listening.
4 ACViking said at 2:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Marcus Smith is showing everyone why D3FB said he was a good choice.
5 myartz04 said at 2:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Sometimes you gotta just let guys play and figure it out. Especially if they have talent. I have a feeling that it has had something to do with the Kelly/Roseman who drafted who argument.
6 Howie Littlefinger said at 2:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Yea im all for big egos unless they get in the way of actually trying to win
7 ACViking said at 2:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
If that’s the case, then Kelly may be the pettiest HC in Philadelphia since Buddy Ryan.
8 anon said at 2:38 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
he’s pretty petty
9 myartz04 said at 2:38 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Did you see the article that Greg Richards posted?
10 ACViking said at 2:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
about the X-mas party?
11 myartz04 said at 2:41 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
About threatening to get rid of Jordan Matthews for spinning the ball.
12 Crus57 said at 2:38 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
well, he did keep giving Murray carries even though he was the worst RB we have, so maybe
13 JoeBlow said at 2:38 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
If he stinks = Chip’s pick
If he lights it up = Howie is a genius!
14 myartz04 said at 2:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
And if you don’t play him, the assumption is that he stinks
15 Jarock said at 2:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Watching him on tape, the athleticism still jumps out. Unfortunately, so does the fact that he’s only now starting to figure out which way to run. Still hope he turns into a solid player.
16 ACViking said at 2:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
instincts still an issue
17 Jarock said at 2:41 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
True, but experience is the best teacher there. Lack of playing time and getting bumped from position to position really hurt his development.
18 Eagles_Fan_in_San_Fran said at 2:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Halftime Stats
Eagles: 261 yards
G-men: 258 yards
A fitting tribute to Chip – all O, no D.

Kirk Cousins . . . on a Foles-like 2013 role.

Hey Kendricks way to step up in to the hole!

I hear Lurie served chips and dip at halftime.

Right where we left off, MTC = 15.

28 John Galt said at 2:41 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Ed Reynolds is laughable
29 Greg Richards said at 2:41 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Eagles’ D is coming up clutch. Wish the offense showed as much fire.
30 John Galt said at 2:42 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Rowe can play
31 A_T_G said at 2:42 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
The MTC is heating up.
32 scratcherk said at 2:42 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Death Rowe indeed.
33 Greg Richards said at 2:44 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Giants should have just kept running the ball.
34 ACViking said at 2:45 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Coaches from the “Holmgren coaching tree” just cannot stop themselves from passing the football.

Saints are coming from ahead to lose…damn. Who else needs to win?

one of the lions or bears will win
39 John Galt said at 2:45 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
At least lions are up, gotta avoid the tie
40 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:45 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Jets, Browns
41 Jarock said at 2:45 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Positives this season.
Rowe looks like a solid pick.
MS2 has showed a pulse after being invisible for his first two seasons.
Safety play has been better than it has in the last 1/2 decade or more.
Negatives.
Sam has played just well enough to convince a few idiots he’s a decent QB while still losing the majority of games.
OL lived up to all of the concerns.
Front 7 outside of Cox has underperformed drastically.
42 Gian GEAGLE said at 2:48 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
In fairness to MS2, he hasn’t exactky been given much opportunity to Fail yet.. I hope to get the chance to see him and judge for myself, since Chip ismt the most reliable source these days
..
LMAO!!!
43 Howie Littlefinger said at 2:48 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Don’t get the Bradford hate
He will not out right win us games but I would also say he doesnt lose us games. He is a notch above guys like Alex Smith and Fitzpatrick in my eyes
44 Jarock said at 2:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I know Alex Smith won’t win any Fantasy leagues, but he’s shown he can consistently win games both at SF and KC.
As to Bradford . . . for 2/3 or more of this season, we should have just punted on 3rd and 7 or more. Bradford threw so many swing passes without even glancing down the field in this situation it soured me on him completely. No courage. None. Just wanted to pad his completion stats with no situational awareness whatsoever.
45 Howie Littlefinger said at 2:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
And when he threw deep our ass hole receivers just dropped it. Not saying the guy is al world but as qb all u can do is get the ball there. He can make ALL the throws which Smith cannot
Bradford would look much better throwing to Maclin too, our guys have worse hands than JPP
46 Jarock said at 2:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Can’t argue this much. I do wonder though about Bradford’s receivers consistently topping the charts for dropped passes now both in Philly and St. Louis. Still doesn’t excuse his lack of willingness to even try to find someone down the field on 3rd and long. He’s been slightly better the last third of the season, but it was too little too late imho.
47 Howie Littlefinger said at 2:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
No talent in St louis at all. Full disclosure: I used to call him Badford
Philly seems to just shoot itself in foot. If we keep Bradford I get it. If we move on I get it. Either way Bradford earned my respect this year
48 FairOaks said at 2:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He’s been getting better at that lately though. I’m more interested in what he will do next year — i.e. is this progress real and can he get even better — rather than what he did earlier in the year, coming off two ACLs and 1.5 years away from the game.
49 Howie Littlefinger said at 2:45 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Rowe is playing well. Freaking rookie doesnt now whats on the line here lol
50 scratcherk said at 2:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
thanks ryan
51 A_T_G said at 2:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
A football player who celebrates by miming an action that isn’t even physical for golf should have his facemask taken away.
52 JoeBlow said at 2:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
if it wasn’t for Donnie Jones my hate for punters would be at an irrational level
53 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Refs suck
54 scratcherk said at 2:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
dammit refs! out to let us win.
55 Jarock said at 2:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He was down . . . dammit.
56 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Coughlin smartly burns a challenge/timeout. Let’s hire him.
57 SteveH said at 2:48 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He wanted to make sure he got one more terrible challenge out before he gets fired.
58 A_T_G said at 2:48 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He understands what is on the line.
59 Gian GEAGLE said at 2:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
We hired a specialist to tell us when to challenge the ball and we still couldn’t get it right… I’m sure Lurie was furious at how bad the team was, after how much LURIE forced Chip to invest paying for an enormous staff and sports science department yet we show up looking like crap each week…
60 Greg Richards said at 2:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Unfortunately, that’s not a fumble.
61 Howie Littlefinger said at 2:49 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I didn’t think Ertz fumbled last week either
62 Greg Richards said at 2:53 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Nope. Refs must hate us. Call a fumble on what’s not a fumble in a game where we’re essentially playing for the division and not having the decency to call a fumble an on what’s not a fumble when we’re playing for draft position.
63 scratcherk said at 2:49 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
sammy throws a pretty ball
64 Howie Littlefinger said at 2:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Usually followed by an ugly drop
65 JoeBlow said at 2:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Ouch!
66 Corry said at 2:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
For crying out loud, get Ertz off the field. He’s showing unnecessary effort. Doesn’t he know what’s on the line???
67 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Career day for him. 5/122/0. Most yards ever.

75 jshort said at 2:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
just so they win.
76 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Well, Chip wasn’t winning with Chip’s players.
77 JoeBlow said at 2:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
neither was Andy with his but people didn’t mind bringing it up
78 A_T_G said at 2:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
From here out, Ertz should only be used to block for Murray stretch runs.
79 JoeBlow said at 2:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Murray still batting 1.000 on 3rd down?
80 Corry said at 2:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I believe so.
81 Jarock said at 2:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
When he doesn’t fumble. . . . lol . . . and he does again. Yay!!!!

If it wasn’t because he was wildly overpaid I would say he should get a raise
91 SteveH said at 2:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Big play for the Eagles there, turnovers are key.

Come on Thurmond, you are better than that
97 scratcherk said at 2:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
at least rowe had good coverage.
98 scratcherk said at 2:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
do we resign thurmond? his play clearly diminished in the second half ot he year.
99 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Yes. Absolutely. Even half-decent safety play is hard to find.
100 TypicalDouche said at 2:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Only if the new HC doesn’t prefer a true SS type in the secondary.
101 Crus57 said at 2:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
if he doesn’t want huge $$ I’d say yes, he’s still better than basically every other safety we’ve had in the last 5+ years except Jenkins
102 scratcherk said at 2:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i suppose it depends on cost as well
103 Gian GEAGLE said at 2:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Yes….have you forgot what the last decade of safety olay looked like? This is walts season ever playing the position…encouraged, want to see more
104 nicolajNN said at 2:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Definitely, not only are decent safeties rare, also remember it’s his first year at the position, he can improve there
105 JoeBlow said at 2:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
an example of why some coaches teach their DB’s to not look back for the ball
106 JoeBlow said at 2:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
still don’t agree with it
107 anon said at 2:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

121 xeynon said at 2:59 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Come on guys! If we really put our hearts into it, we can give up 500+ yards and 40+ points one last time.
122 Jarock said at 3:00 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
More than 1/2 way there. I have faith.
123 John Galt said at 3:00 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

should root for ravens, but dolphins and jags wont matter.

ravens too, they have a stronger strength of schedule than us. dolphins and jags wont matter cuz they have worse SOS.

Well, at least the fact the Eagles can only put together one half of decent football hasn’t changed.

We all know Biggers was the one leading, Odells a bitch

Jets are going to blow their playoff chances. Steelers are a dangerous team.
145 JoeBlow said at 3:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i went to a Jets message board and apparently the receiver keep dropping passes and Revis can’t cover Sammy Watkins
146 Jarock said at 3:05 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Taylor Hart with the play . . . 4 yards down the field. Looks more and more like a complete waste of a pick.
147 Gian GEAGLE said at 3:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Sadly I haven’t seen him make many plays.l
148 Jarock said at 3:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Funny how he gets playing time when MS2 hasn’t. Pretty sure they’ve made about the same # of plays.
149 Gian GEAGLE said at 3:13 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Even worse, there were games he played more than Curry… I thought Bair may be better than Hart
150 anon said at 3:14 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
bennie making it clear he’s necessary for this d.
151 Jarock said at 3:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Really makes a huge difference for this team. So much better against the run with him in. Not sure how much of it is the snowball of needing Taylor to play more and just how much is them missing his play. Still, get well soon, Benny.
152 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
The only time I remember him coming close to making a play he tackled himself
153 ICDogg said at 3:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Free first downs!
154 A_T_G said at 3:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
This is the right time for Kendricks to get matched up in single coverage against a WR with no help over the top.
155 John Galt said at 3:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Terrible call
156 ICDogg said at 3:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Hmm
157 Corry said at 3:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
That was a lot of discussion for a false start.

That’s the Eagles D we know and love!
160 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:07 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
LOL. Was Kiko supposed to cover ODB in the slot?
161 Jarock said at 3:08 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Don’t expect blanket coverage, but he should be able to stay closer than that. You’d also hope he could at least get a jam.
162 John Galt said at 3:07 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Kiko against Beckham. That billy can scheme it up
163 Greg Richards said at 3:08 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Kudos if goal of scheme is to ensure us a better draft pick.
164 A_T_G said at 3:08 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I predicted Kendricks, but I’ll take it.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, KEEP WATCHING!
167 Corry said at 3:08 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Welp, looks like the Eagles defense is going to Davis us all the way to a higher draft slot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
175 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I’m gonna miss Coughlin.
176 JoeBlow said at 3:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Now Barwin decides to contribute?…….Erik Flowers can make you look good too
177 truehaynes said at 3:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
fuck
178 anon said at 3:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
that’s what i like to see. Shurmer probably the only one happy about that.
179 scratcherk said at 3:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
dont worry guys, its a long game.
180 jshort said at 3:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Now I know how Coughlin feels after a pick 6
181 Corry said at 3:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
DAMMIT! I LOOKED AWAY AND THEY MAKE A BIG PLAY?!
182 Corry said at 3:11 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
DAMMIT BILL DAVIS
183 ICDogg said at 3:11 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Your fault
184 Corry said at 3:11 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I blame Fallout 4.
185 Crus57 said at 3:11 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I love the way Eli did a little spin trying to find the ball after his hand was hit there
186 anon said at 3:11 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
caputred that eli face well though
187 Jarock said at 3:11 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Bad news . . .our D scored. Good news, they’ll be right back on the field and will almost certainly give up a TD on the next drive as Eli’s irritated about being embarrassed.
188 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:11 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Coughlins gonna have a heart attack on the sideline lol
Hope he doesn’t die out there over meaningless game, what a caricature
189 JoeBlow said at 3:13 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Muhammed Wilkerson just got carted off too……rough day for the Jets
FA after this game too
190 Jarock said at 3:14 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Nice fit for our 3-4 D. Expect we’ll break the bank on Fletcher though. Seriously doubt they’ll be money for both.
191 ICDogg said at 3:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Who knows if we’re a 3-4 D after today
192 Jarock said at 3:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I’m probably the minority who wants us to stay a 3-4. Would love to have a more creative coordinator though.
193 ICDogg said at 3:18 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I like a hybrid
194 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:18 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I just want a 1 gap attack defense
195 Jarock said at 3:20 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Would like to see them mix it in, but not depend on it. When Benny and Ced were healthy, it was almost impossible to run on this D. Mix it up more and it would be an absolute nightmare to play against. Way too damn predictable under Billy.
196 ICDogg said at 3:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I like Logan and Thornton as 2 gap. Cox as 1 gap.
197 Jarock said at 3:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Logan’s scheme diverse. Thornton not so much.
198 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I think Logan can be a great 1 gap player. Thornton is gone I think
199 Gian GEAGLE said at 3:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Wow… Makes me want to sit everyone
200 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
This was my primary focus this game. Just please stay healthy
201 Gian GEAGLE said at 3:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
You can miss all of next season getting hurt today
202 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
If we lose Cox or Ertz or anyone of importance next year I will have Fipp eyes at Shurmer
203 ICDogg said at 3:13 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
200th pick for Eli..
204 Julescat said at 3:20 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
this season?
205 A_T_G said at 3:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Is that a trade offer?
206 ICDogg said at 3:13 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Good job D

210 daveH said at 3:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
that was Kiko rght?? running into a blocker so he wouldn’t get hit by the RB
GO KIKO!!! get us that loss we need!
211 John Galt said at 3:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Maybe you should count plays without a missed tackle
212 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
what is MTC? I think I’m drink
213 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
nvm I;m def drink lol missed tackles

chris maragos is playing?
217 Greg Richards said at 3:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Think Thurmond may have been nicked up whenhe was tackled after the INT return.
218 anon said at 3:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
nicked up or benched?
219 Greg Richards said at 3:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Benched if they’re smart. What the hell are you doing, Thurmond! Drop the ball like every f’ing one else has done this f’ing season!
220 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
If I’m Shurmur anyone in a contract year is sitting out the 4th, we have too much at steak
221 scratcherk said at 3:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
3rd and 10 draw? wow, good job guys.
222 JoeBlow said at 3:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
remember the first half of the season…..the draw was the most dangerous play to our D 3rd down
223 anon said at 3:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
we’ve been succeptableto the draw a couple of times, remember the falcons game?
224 scratcherk said at 3:18 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i try not to
225 Greg Richards said at 3:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
That was a tank call by Coughlin.

German Eagle has a great record of Eagls wins when he watches live .. he BETTER NOT be watching now !!

RUN THE SWEEP with Murray !
231 scratcherk said at 3:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
put murray in the game!
232 Greg Richards said at 3:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Not on 3rd and 1. One thing he’s good at.
233 daveH said at 3:23 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
allegedly .. because that’s something Chip never took advantage of
234 Aaron said at 3:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
schewtty balls
235 Allen3000 said at 3:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
That RB Swing pass/screen has been a GEM all season, I tell ya!

someone just have called him gay
238 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I still think its criminal that someone is wearing Carmichael’s number.
239 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:23 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Roc carmichael would lose us this game
240 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:23 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
5th swing pass to RB by my count Shurmur is gone after this week
241 scratcherk said at 3:23 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
MOAR MURRAY!
242 John Galt said at 3:23 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Alright need to get off the field here
243 Jarock said at 3:24 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Such sorry D. Can’t believe this is the NFC East. Once the home of the LT Giants, Reggie White Eagles . . .
244 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:26 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
also once home to the Bradley fletchers and cary williams of the NFL tho too
245 scratcherk said at 3:24 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
wtf any other week thats a clear drop
246 daveH said at 3:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
that’s so true its not even funny
247 myartz04 said at 3:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Damn. Nice pass.
248 anon said at 3:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
gotta keep bradford
249 Jarock said at 3:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He’ll fuck it up . . .
250 Gian GEAGLE said at 3:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Damn right we do
251 ICDogg said at 3:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
How far are you willing to go to keep him?
252 A_T_G said at 3:26 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Personally? I’d be willing to buy a jersey.
253 daveH said at 3:26 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
sure but get him out of the game already!
254 truehaynes said at 3:29 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
seriously. he might win this game!
255 Jarock said at 3:27 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Not to mention, he’s going to be so overpriced. Someone’s going to pay him as if he was an elite QB and I don’t remember him having a single winning season (would need to check and I’m too lazy @ the moment.)
256 FairOaks said at 3:29 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Nope. But of course the Eagles WRs this year are the best he’s played with probably. The Rams were a very bad team.
I do worry about the contract demands. Eagles could franchise him and take all the other teams out of it. He’s played well and is worth a lot, but I’d rather not huge guaranteed money or any contract we can’t get out of in two years.
257 Jarock said at 3:32 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Combine that with what they gave up to acquire him. If it’s only for a one year rental, it goes from overpriced to completely horrendous. I don’t want him back, but from a ‘what we paid to get him’ it really doesn’t make sense to let him go. Still don’t want him though.
258 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:29 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
…. on the bench for the bench rest of game to ensure a loss
259 Greg Richards said at 3:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
This Giants D is coming up big.
260 myartz04 said at 3:26 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Wow!
261 scratcherk said at 3:26 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
what a cut.
262 ICDogg said at 3:27 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Nelson crashalor
263 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:27 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Where was that guy all season?
264 scratcherk said at 3:27 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
ags shows some really good acceleration at times.
265 JoeBlow said at 3:27 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Agholor has plenty of talent….kid needs to let the game come to him
266 anon said at 3:27 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
yup excited for him next year. should have run more pick plays i think to get him open in space.
267 JoeBlow said at 3:29 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
yup me too, Revis doesn’t give out compliments to just anyone
268 daveH said at 3:27 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
McBride & Agholar concussed .. Ags asking the ref to help him up .. time to rest for 6 months .. well actually 2 months until you go offseason practicing w Bradford in arizona
269 John Galt said at 3:28 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He wanted to score pretty bad there
270 scratcherk said at 3:29 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
not sure why people keep saying how we’ll have to overpay bradford… it does not matter one bit. if you have a chance to get a decent qb (not even great), you need to pay the guy. you CANNOT win games without one so you just have to make it work with the remaining cap.
271 Allen3000 said at 3:31 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
What does it matter if the OL and defense doesn’t get fixed?
I hear you, but all this QB talk is getting nauseating. This team has a LOT of holes or at least they play like their talent deficient in all areas.
272 scratcherk said at 3:44 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
if i could sign brady/rodgers for 30 million a season, i would.
273 ICDogg said at 3:29 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
FAIL
274 scratcherk said at 3:30 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
see even tom is happy we scored.
275 Nick C said at 3:30 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Can’t believe we’re going to win this game. They just had to run the ball.
276 daveH said at 3:30 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
we should’ve kept Chip just to ensure the loss !!
277 Greg Richards said at 3:30 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Damn. Not going to even get a real good draft pick on this waste of a season.
I should still have faith though. Giants should run Jennings to set up play-action bomb to Beckham. 2-pt conversion and we’re in business.
278 daveH said at 3:31 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
gints aren’t that dumb. that’s why they have rings .. they know how to dog this one
279 Crus57 said at 3:30 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Did we just score a TD on the exact same play as the last one, only mirrored?
280 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:31 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Jordan Matthews with the most meaningless TDs this year
281 daveH said at 3:32 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
at least he didn’t celebrate
282 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:32 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I wanted to see a ball spin
If that story was true Chip should have told him only after a TD
283 A_T_G said at 3:32 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Actually, that might turn out to be the most impactful score.
284 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
True I guess Hollow ,pyrrhic, empty would be better
285 anon said at 3:31 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
shurmer + a new DC?
286 John Galt said at 3:32 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
No
287 Greg Richards said at 3:33 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Wouldn’t mind new defensive minded HC with Shurmur remaining as OC.
288 JoeBlow said at 3:33 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i wouldn’t mind these either
289 Corry said at 3:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Nor would I.
290 anon said at 3:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
defensive HC are we spending 2 picks on ol?
291 Jarock said at 3:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Think that should happen regardless of who’s the next HC.
292 Greg Richards said at 3:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Yep, because most defensive HCs believe in the running game and he’ll realize we need help there.
293 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:32 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
No
294 Jarock said at 3:33 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I can see it happening. Not exciting, but if you don’t want to waste the positives Kelly brought to the team, I can see Lurie buying it.
295 anon said at 3:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
players seem to really like him. Bradford continues to develop. it’s not going to happen but i’d be ok w him.
296 truehaynes said at 3:32 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
can we please just throw this game. the giants want to lose. we better want it more
297 Jarock said at 3:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Cmon Billy. We can still lose!!!
298 JoeBlow said at 3:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Billy D with the 10 yard cushion….easy first down
299 Greg Richards said at 3:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He knows what it’s all about.
300 daveH said at 3:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
we should’ve kept Chip just to ensure the loss !!
..
whats our penalty count ..
301 scratcherk said at 3:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
get your head out of your ass Eli
302 daveH said at 3:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

Kiko with the BIG hit…….on Denzel Rice
304 scratcherk said at 3:38 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i miss the quiet offseasons of Andy Reid era. One big FA. thats about it. F the Dream team approach.
305 anon said at 3:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
that’s what happens when you can’t draft
306 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
If I recall correctly, there was tons of moaning and bitching about how Andy and the FO never did enough to get the team over the top.
307 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
only when we were sending Pinkston and Mitchell out there as starters
308 scratcherk said at 3:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
count me as one of them but hindsight is 20/20
309 ICDogg said at 3:41 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
One season Joe Banner promised the most exciting offseason ever. Then we didn’t sign anyone.
310 Jarock said at 3:42 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I don’t buy trying to completely remake your team, but making smart moves to fill the obvious holes on the team? For instance, wouldn’t mind us signing one or two OL and drafting at least two. Would fix so much wrong with this offense. Especially if Agholor grows up into a decent playmaker.
311 Jarock said at 3:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Eric Flowers playing oh so well . . . not.
312 oreofestar said at 3:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Id rather resign Brad and lick up OL in the draft, I hope he doesn’t destroy us on the contract I would do 4/70 if he would take it
313 ICDogg said at 3:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Of all the days not to totally suck
314 scratcherk said at 3:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
throw the flag Ref!
315 daveH said at 3:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I think COx had him but whiffed on purpose so Eli could get the throw off!
316 scratcherk said at 3:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
always a team player, that one.
317 Jarock said at 3:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Where’s the flag?? Pretty sure they both got there early.
318 oreofestar said at 3:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Eff this team, now they want to freaking play
319 A_T_G said at 3:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Graham went through that Baby Gate like, well like anyone other than a baby.
320 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:43 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
lamest nickname ever
even worse than “Moose”
321 John Galt said at 3:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
It’s hard to admit, but the Giants deserve this loss more, they wanted it less and I think they actually are even more awfuller than us…
322 Insomniac said at 3:41 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I hate Shurmur. Stop scoring
323 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:42 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Go F yourself Jason witten.
324 oreofestar said at 3:42 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Fine, need a 3 and out here
325 ICDogg said at 3:43 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
A turnover would also work
326 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:44 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Would endorse Shurmer as head coach if he just punted on 1st down
327 JoeBlow said at 3:42 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
are there any implications on this upcoming Seattle & Arizona game?
328 anon said at 3:43 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
umm you can watch good football
329 John Galt said at 3:43 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
For them, yes. Ariz can get home field. Seattle can get 5 seed and play wash
330 JoeBlow said at 3:44 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
thank u!
331 oreofestar said at 3:43 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Arizona win with CAR loss gets them 1, Seattle win guarantees 5 if Packers win but are 6 if they lose regardless of Packers game
332 JoeBlow said at 3:44 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
gotcha….thank you!
333 scratcherk said at 3:45 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i told you last week, these fucks would win this week. just to fuck with us.
334 oreofestar said at 3:45 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Come on give the ball back!!
335 daveH said at 3:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
INTERCEPTION
336 JoeBlow said at 3:45 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I feel a TD for the Eagles here….i don’t like it but just feels like the Giants D has shut down
337 Jarock said at 3:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Jeez . . . what’s with the smart play calling, Pat? We need to LOSE. That’s your mandate, Pat!!!
338 oreofestar said at 3:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
So now we get to pick like 16th
339 JoeBlow said at 3:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
not as bad as last year…..
340 oreofestar said at 3:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Considering if we just lose the damn game we could have a top 10 pick it feels worse
341 ICDogg said at 3:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Cough it up
342 scratcherk said at 3:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
nice clock management.
343 scratcherk said at 3:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
not being sarcastic, they at least waited til last second to call TO.
344 oreofestar said at 3:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
This is pissing me off
345 A_T_G said at 3:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
At least we are still throwing it. There is still a chance.
346 MOOOoooooo said at 3:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I think it’s time to accept the fact our players want to win this, and they will do.
As do you think a load of vets give a shit about playing with a better rookie.
And who cares about draft position. Busts are all over the board. If they do their job they’ll find good players wherever we draft.
347 oreofestar said at 3:48 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I don’t care I want a loss
348 A_T_G said at 3:48 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
No way would players not try to win their last game for months. And good for them.
349 ICDogg said at 3:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Which goes to show how much the Giants suck
350 daveH said at 3:49 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
some guys just want their last game in eagles jersey to be a win .. their trying to F us !
351 Insomniac said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
What awful logic. It’s like saying you have the same chance of failure of trying to improve yourself but the chance of improving yourself is higher if you fail today.
352 MOOOoooooo said at 3:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
To be honest, I’m not that bothered. If they go to London I’ll be able to watch them for the first time live.
353 scratcherk said at 3:48 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
one of the few wins of this season and we cant even enjoy it. fuck you eagles.
354 Tumtum said at 3:49 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
How many of the wins have really been enjoyable.
355 oreofestar said at 3:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Cowboys one uuuuh Saints one errrr yeah that’s it oh and Pats
356 scratcherk said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i’d argue the pats was not enjoyable
357 oreofestar said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I was actually mad because I was ready to tank the season away
358 Jarock said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Cowboy’s and Saints, yes. I’d given up on the team (rightly as it turned out) by the time we shocked the Pats. It was a bittersweet ‘what could have been’ instead of a pure enjoyment.
359 anon said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
first giants game. first half of miami game
360 Tumtum said at 3:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
They even tried to give the Pats game up.
361 JoeBlow said at 3:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i enjoyed the Cowboys OT win…..but that’s about it
362 jshort said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
enjoyed the Pats win
363 oreofestar said at 3:48 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Worst part is if the Eagles won last week we would be losing by 40 rn
364 Jarock said at 3:49 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Inside receivers are killing the Giants. Sad cause those are the only decent players on the Eagles.
365 anon said at 3:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
will this be most points we’ve put up all year/
366 oreofestar said at 3:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
With a TD yes we dropped 39 on NO
367 myartz04 said at 3:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Think of it like this. If the Eagles were to really tank a game, it would just set us up for heartbreak with karma and the poor kid we would have picked. By winning, all is right in the world and we will nail our draft pick.
368 oreofestar said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Just like last year
369 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
3:49 left. Bills up 22-17. Jets getting the ball back after Buffalo FG.
C’mon JETS!!
370 daveH said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
would anyone want new HC to be Coughlin ??
371 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Not anyone with a brain
not sure if serious
372 daveH said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
errr, yep I was .. but not any more
373 scratcherk said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
if by HC you mean head cheerleader
374 Jarock said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
No. Stick a fork in him, he’s done.
375 scratcherk said at 3:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
good work brinkly.
376 Greg Richards said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
They said on the WIP broadcast that in the last week, since Chip was fired, that the Eagles have started preliminary negotiatons to extend Cox, Curry and they likely want to go back to 4-3 defense.
377 Anders said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Would love it, but let the HC decide imo
378 JoeBlow said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Good Lord Tobin!
379 oreofestar said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Cowboys are guaranteed a top 4 pick assuming they lose today
380 FairOaks said at 3:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
They were going to lose anyways but McFadden fumbled the ball on the two yard line going in for the TD and it went for a touchback. Was holding the ball on the outside hand but defender reached across him and batted it out.
381 Jarock said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
C’mon . . . fumble . . . turnover . . . . pick . . . 😛
382 ICDogg said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Pick 6 time
383 John Galt said at 3:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
It’s a long shot but Billy D is the man for it

388 Insomniac said at 3:53 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Can we get a miracle in the meadowlands for the giants?
389 Insomniac said at 3:53 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I LOVE YOU POOPER
390 anon said at 3:53 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
of course. perfect ending.
391 Greg Richards said at 3:53 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Good job, Pat, giving the Giants a better chance.
392 ICDogg said at 3:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Good punters coverage
393 Jarock said at 3:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
This would be so damn ironic if the Giants get a last minute drive to win the game.
394 Insomniac said at 3:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
but that would be for the best
395 anon said at 3:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i saw 3.5 winning quarters, i’m ready to let go.
396 ICDogg said at 3:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Go Eli
397 myartz04 said at 3:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Don’t forget. Bradford put that ball right on the money on a blitz.
398 A_T_G said at 3:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
If we could provoke OBJ into a fight and suspension to start next year, that would be ideal.
399 Insomniac said at 3:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
After he scores a TD first.
400 A_T_G said at 3:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Or after, it isn’t like he will be ejected.
401 scratcherk said at 3:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
PREVENT DEFENSE!!!
402 scratcherk said at 3:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
BILLY UNLEASH THE PREVENT DEFENSE!!!
403 Jarock said at 3:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He is.
404 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
This is so confusing.
405 John Galt said at 3:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Saints win. Now if we can just pull out this L
406 xeynon said at 3:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Okay, this is what it all comes down to. We really need the defense to go out there and lose it for us.
407 John Galt said at 3:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Nicks sux sooooo bad
408 anon said at 3:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

Damn. Dora has taken over my TV. What did Cooper do?

Drop on 3rd down. Now its Giants ball
413 anon said at 3:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
slight overthrow on a td pass that would have ended the game.
414 A_T_G said at 3:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He Coop’d the bed.
415 ICDogg said at 3:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Yeah baby

of course
417 Ryan Rambo said at 3:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
How is it that we shut OBJ down?
418 Tumtum said at 3:59 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Rowe.

Sweet!
420 Bert's Bells said at 3:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
That play is proof that Nicks should have been an Eagle.
421 scratcherk said at 3:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
At least manning spiked the ball instead of kneeling. #veteran
422 Jarock said at 3:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Damn it MS2 . . . NOW YOU MAKE A PLAY????
423 anon said at 3:59 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
making it seem like he should have been on the field. wonder if ck kept him off b/c he hated him.

Yup.
425 daveH said at 4:02 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

he put up stats today. obviously hasn’t been perfect in other games.

it’s cos he’s black, obviously.

Dare i say Braman has looked good rushing as welll
430 Tumtum said at 3:59 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Always does. Think the issue there is that you only want him doing that on D.

43?
432 Tumtum said at 1:24 PM on January 4th, 2016:

436 Jarock said at 3:59 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
What a horrible win. Unfuckingbelievable.
437 Greg Richards said at 3:59 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
To hell with the Giants. To hell with the Eagles.
438 Tumtum said at 4:00 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Meh, I’d rather win. Sending Coughlin out with a loss feels good man.
439 A_T_G said at 4:01 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Yeah. Me too. Rational advantages be damned.
440 xeynon said at 4:01 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Why? We now have a shittier pick and an almost certain loss on the schedule at Seattle next year. This win hurts us significantly.
441 Tumtum said at 1:22 PM on January 4th, 2016:
Because I am going to remember sending a 2 time Superbowl winning coach of our rivals forever. That and I generally try to have a positive disposition. Living life miserable sucks dude.
442 Greg Richards said at 4:02 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I’d honestly rather lose, but I’m not seriously mad at the coaches and players for losing. You have to put forth the best effort you can every game. It’s just frustrating that that hasn’t happened the vast majority of the season.
443 Insomniac said at 4:00 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
god damn it
444 Allen3000 said at 4:00 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

I’ll miss tom Coughlin actually….Giants are that much easier to hate with him on the sidelines
448 anon said at 4:01 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
how is the only stop we get during game the one that ruins the draft pick?
449 JoeBlow said at 4:02 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
and with Kendricks in coverage to boot
450 Jarock said at 4:01 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
If I have to find something shiny about this . . . God, I hope this is the last time I see Riley Cooper and Billy Davis in Eagles green.

Wow, do the Giants ever suck.

who’s heard payton to the giants next year
457 Anders said at 4:04 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Not sure that is a good match. Eli isnt good and Payton only had a good defense 1 year
458 JoeBlow said at 4:05 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
plus idk if Payton and Mcadoo co-exist with playcalling
459 scratcherk said at 4:05 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
doubt mcadoo stays if new HC
460 daveH said at 4:04 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
whers Eli go?
461 Anders said at 4:03 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
The only good thing about this is that Bradford has been looking good the last half of the season.
I 100% hope we keeps him for a reasoble price
462 ACViking said at 4:05 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Bradford has looked good, for sure.
But it’s hard to think of a QB who didn’t have a good game against the Giants this season (except Winston and Cassel).
463 Anders said at 4:07 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He had good games against much better defenses as well
464 ACViking said at 4:09 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Not to press . . .
But which one?
23 pts vs. Bills
24 pts vs. Wash
Bradford is solid. But he wasn’t getting points on the board. (this is where, in St. Louis, fans blamed the bad O-line and bad WRs)
465 anon said at 4:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
(this is where, in Philly, fans blamed the bad O-line and bad WRs)
466 ICDogg said at 4:12 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Which we also had here this year
467 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
That one Bradford miss that sucks out to me was the bomb last week he over shot to Ertz. He got utterly decimated on that with pressure up the middle
468 FairOaks said at 4:42 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
We had those issues as well. And were required to run it wide with Murray a lot of the time which basically gave you two downs to get 10 yards.
He’s been good, and consistently good, the last seven games. Thought he started turning it around vs Carolina though the stats were bad — that was when he began to get some accuracy. He was actually playing really well against Arizona, but his rating took a big tumble at the end of the game as he gambled more and got another INT. I think his rating was 120+ for quite a while that game. The turnovers just killed us.
The points are an issue. Giants are bad yes but he only had a 61 rating last time we played them — he was part of the offensive problem still at that point. 108? today. It would help if we saw a game where the team really racked up points. Today was good but still just 28 points for the offense.
He’s certainly passing the eye test, but yes, you would like to see more consistency on offense. But that may not happen without better weapons. The decision is not clear-cut but I don’t think we’d do better anywhere else in free agency, or from the sounds of it the draft.
469 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:09 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
So what with all the bashing he gets it. He looked good the last few weeks
Just remember it Kolb always be worse
470 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Winston lit us up too didn’t he?
471 ICDogg said at 4:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
You’re not getting him for less than a $21M commitment and that’s the tag.
472 Anders said at 2:44 AM on January 4th, 2016:
Not so sure Bradford gets a giant deal. Yes Tom Gondon is his agent, but what can they hold us hostage over? a 7-9 record?
473 ICDogg said at 3:07 AM on January 4th, 2016:
Supply and demand. He will command big bucks from somewhere.
474 Greg Richards said at 4:04 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I know Eagles fans like to make fun of Coughlin, but he was a great coach. Wish him well in retirement.
475 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:07 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Luck doesnt equal great. He is a.500 coach.
476 Joe Minx said at 4:04 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Words I never thought I’d find myself saying:
“Damnit! Marcus Smith almost sacked him again!”
Yet here we are.
477 ACViking said at 4:04 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Re: Marcus Smith II
In a 4-3, where does the next coach play him . . . has to be DE, right?
And where the hell was he all year . . . did Kelly really force Davis to minimize his time because — as Kelly said when asked about MSII’s selection — “I didn’t have final say.”
478 Anders said at 4:05 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Smith would be a good DE, less thinking needed (his biggest problem). Also Smith most likely landed in Kelly’s dog house
479 ICDogg said at 4:07 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
How does Barwin fit in a 4-3?
480 anon said at 4:08 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
he played 43 in texas, not a perfect fit but he can do it
481 Anders said at 4:08 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Depends on the scheme. He would be the DE/OLB in a 4-3 under, can be the close to LOS SAM in a more normal 4-3
482 Sean Stott said at 4:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I think the team ends up doing a hybrid 3-4 similar to what Wade Philips would run, 1-gap scheme. The Eagles have already been running numerous packages as a 4-down front so it’s not a huge deal.
483 anon said at 4:11 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
could we poach phillips/
484 ICDogg said at 4:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I guess, if we’re a 4-3.
485 DaGeneral said at 4:05 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Some fans here! A higher draft pick would have been a nice silver lining in a loss…. but real fans root for their team to win!
486 Aaron said at 4:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
shaaaaaaadup
487 scratcherk said at 4:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
real fans root for whats best for their team, in this case, a loss.
488 DaGeneral said at 4:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
There’s only 16 games a year…. every win is precious. A higher draft pick doesn’t guarantee anything… I get where people are coming from, but it just seems unseemly to be “upset” about a win….
489 Insomniac said at 4:13 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
A win doesn’t do shit for us except making us lose a higher chance at getting better.
490 FairOaks said at 4:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Wins are precious… when you’re in the playoff race. Which we are not. I was rooting to make the playoffs, but once that was out… I was rooting for the loss.
The win means worse pick in every round next year, probably by several spots, and also means we have to play in Seattle next season, which probably means we get one fewer precious win then, when it would mean a lot more.
491 myartz04 said at 4:18 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

495 Insomniac said at 4:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
You going to brag to your co-workers about how pointless this win will be in 2016?

ahhhh the “real fan” argument……always fun
498 DaGeneral said at 4:13 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
You’re right… bad form by me. I’ve been a long-time lurker and read nearly every word posted/commented here. We’re all real fans here… I just savor every win…. 0-16 or 16-0. Never know when the next one will be (gulp)

501 Sean Stott said at 4:05 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
If there were ever a question that MS2 was Howie’s pick or CK’s, it’s been answered. Looks like CK kept him out of games simply due to spite.

Jets lose. Steelers in playoffs.
507 ACViking said at 4:12 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Fits the narrative for the Eagles.
Only beat one playoff team . . . and it took multiple injuries to their O-line, WRs, TE, and 3 special team/defensive TD returns — spelling F-L-U-K-E.
____________
Jets overachieved. Testament to some great leadership by Bowles.
Another team that needs a better QB.
508 anon said at 4:13 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
numbers-wise fitz wasn’t bad this year. how they couldn’t get up for this game against a mediocre bills team to go to the playoffs i just don’t understand.

Redskin, Cowboys and Giants didn’t even beat a winning team this year…………..
510 ACViking said at 4:14 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Your point is they’re bad . . . as are the Eagles?
511 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
my point is as bad as we were we squandered a golden opportunity and will be right back n it next year
512 Mitchell said at 4:09 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Focused on Rowe most of the game and came away impressed. The one thing that really stands out is that at the line of scrimmage he stays calm and waits foe the WR. Doesn’t panic often. Also a reliable tackler.
513 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:12 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He always seemed to be in good position this year. Im very high on Rowe
514 mksp said at 4:12 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Totally okay with Bradford next year around $16 MM / Year.
Rooting for Adam Gase.
That’s all I got.
Good riddance to this abortion of a season.

what if Condon wants — and can get — more than $16M?
516 mksp said at 4:14 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I don’t know where the line in the sand is. $18 MM?
517 ACViking said at 4:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
that’s a great question
518 Greg Richards said at 4:18 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
You transition tag him and lock him in to 1 year at $17-$17.5M. Typically when team transition tags a player it either prevents other teams for negotiating with the player or you basically let another team negotiate for you and then match. No poision pills are allowed anymore. I don’t see any other team offering him an outlandish contract that the Eagles wouldn’t match. If they do, well you have Sanchez and the draft and realize you’ll probably suck next year.
519 FairOaks said at 4:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Cap is going up, so he will, on a multi-year deal, for sure. I think the Eagles offered that before the season. But I’d hope the cap hit in the first year isn’t much more than that. They can add on high unguaranteed years at the end of the deal to get the average up closer to 20 if they want. It’s the guaranteed money which is the issue, and yes, Condon generally does not cave on that.
We could franchise him to take other teams out of it. Transition tag if we are prepared to pay full market price whatever that is.

My perfect off season:
Hire Adam Gase or Hue Jackson
Change to a 4-3 defense
Keep Bradford
Get Jeffrey in FA
Cut the fat (Celek, Ryans etc.)
Trade Murray

Sanu is a gadget player and Jeffrey aint getting 15 mill

he put up real numbers last year. would pair well w/ jackson.
527 Mitchell said at 4:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
What di Maclin get, 12? Jeffrey around the same I would think.
528 Anders said at 4:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
11 mill
529 oreofestar said at 4:18 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Mac got 11 but Dez got 14 is expect something in between for Jerlff leaning towards Dez because of how thin WR market is in FA

thats a great read!! nice share, thanks.
but uber complicated .. and really shows hows chip F’d the franchise historically for this deal – which didnt even make sense fro his style & preference of play! what a talent wasting fraking money wasting DOPE chip was!

sofa king complicated for the new coach to deal with, or Howie to figure it out .. might be easier to find a way to use him

538 Joe Minx said at 4:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
F***. Jordan Matthews comes up 3 yards short of 1000.
539 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:18 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Good should keep him hungry for next year. Has no one to blame but himself for all the drops he should have 1200 easy
540 mksp said at 4:19 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Too busy talking to catch the ball, glad he didn’t get it.

He didn’t deserve it
542 A_T_G said at 4:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

543 truehaynes said at 4:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Awesome 🙂
544 Mitchell said at 4:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Amazing he came that close with all the drops he had. Recorded atleast 1 today that would have been a big gain.
545 ACViking said at 4:29 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
1,000 yards means nothing anymore.
It’s an average of just 62.5 yards per game.
The 1,000 yard standard was established in the 14-game era.
Comparable number now is 1,150 — just not catchy.
546 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:30 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
TDs matter way more to me
I want him and Ertz to have 20 between them next season
I also recall at least 2 touchdowns called back for flags to each player
547 mksp said at 4:18 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I’ll add this:
At a minimum, this will be another interesting offseason. This hasn’t led to actual positive returns on the field in a decade.
But it will at least be interesting until the pads come on.
548 truehaynes said at 4:19 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Back to back years we’ve helped the giants get better draft position and killed ours. Could have had a top 10 pick. Bradford ertz and Thurmond should be fired
549 JoeBlow said at 4:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
yea but they ended up with Erik Flowers…..who im not a fan of
550 truehaynes said at 4:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

not your point, but it was my point
552 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Cant ask the players to tank. Shurmur and avis were selfish today
On a positive we send Crybaby Coughlin out on a low note
553 oreofestar said at 4:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Giants get top 10 pick, Girls get top 5 pick and Skins get to lose in the playoffs while we are stuck in between
554 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Maybe I’m naive but i feel like we have a way better core than those teams. we just need an Olineman or 2. Maybe another sure handed WR
555 JoeBlow said at 4:26 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
you are naive, chip ruined this team and its devoid of any talent
556 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:43 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Yea these scrubs have no hope
Ertz, Matthews, Mathews, Murray (never had NFL success) Cox, Logan, Jenkins. What a bunch of garbage players………
Or just maybe just maybe these players weren’t used to the best of there abilities but keep on being negative, its worked so well for our fanbase up until this point.
557 Bob Brewer said at 4:26 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I actually think we’re in worse shape than all of those teams. Although you can make a case the Giants are worse….
558 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Who is throwing the ball behind that hall of fame OL?
Who is running the ball? Who is a good defender on D
/Dallas
Redskins- Have u seen that secondary? Cousins is Foles gold for sure
Giants- Have the best young WR in the game, still can’t put up enough points to win and a 36 year old QB

Pat Shurmur on interviewing for HC: I guess we’re going to meet here in the near future.
560 Iskar36 said at 4:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I can’t blame anyone on the team for losing. Th ose guys are not focused on draft picks and stuff like that. They are out there trying to win and do their jobs at the best of their ability. With that said, winning this game absolutely sucks. There is no benefit to winning it. There is no silver lining. It just hurts this team moving forward.
561 oreofestar said at 4:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Shurmur was selfish and only thought about himself instead if taking one for the team
562 A_T_G said at 4:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
It was fun to root for a loss, but you realize that logic is absurd, right?
563 JoeBlow said at 4:26 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
not sure he is serious….hope he isn’t
564 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:27 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Worse case scenario we won today and nobody important got hurt.
Also incredibly funny and encouraging :
Demarco with big run
Ertz caught EVERYTHING
MS11 can actually make plays when he’s allowed on field
565 Iskar36 said at 4:27 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
In all honesty, how? We played plenty of backups. He didn’t do anything over the top to sell out to win this game. He played the game rather than flat out tanking it, which you can’t blame him for. That is his job. I have no issue with what Shurmur did.
566 oreofestar said at 4:32 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Lol it was a joke

MSII got a sack and multiple pressures, maybe even a tackle or 2.
571 ConcussedFB said at 4:24 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
It would be nice if he could actually contribute and not be a punchline.
572 Mitchell said at 4:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He contributed today.
573 ConcussedFB said at 4:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He got pressure on Eli, did you notice if they asked him to drop into coverage? I wasn’t paying that close attention.
574 Mitchell said at 4:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I saw it once. He dropped like 2 yards and the ball had already gone away from him to the flat.
575 ConcussedFB said at 4:38 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
He didn’t actively hurt anything, so..okay.
576 daveH said at 4:26 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
unless he might not be a bust.. is good enough to play .. but CHip had it out for him .. wonder if that’s true; I fall for that rumor because I don’t trust chip at all
577 Iskar36 said at 4:31 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
We will see what happens moving forward, but he has had opportunities to play in his two years here and has done nothing in 31 out of 32 games. I’m going to lean towards trusting those other 31 games for now before putting any faith that he can contribute moving forward.
578 Allen3000 said at 4:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Oh absolutely. I could never in good faith as a player or coach intentionally give less than my best. You can’t fault the players or coaches at all. Just sucks that we lose that many spots in the draft. Then again if your front office takes a guy like Brandon Graham over Earl Thomas or trades up for a Jerome McDougal it doesn’t really make a dofference.

So is Shumur saying he should be the next HC . . . to keep the Kelly tempo scheme in place?

i don’t know if he’d keep every aspect of tempo the same, didn’t see it today, he had really good clock management actually.

585 Allen3000 said at 4:28 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I like how he casually mentioned that Sam was given the opportunity to audible out of plays – which he did throughout the game. He gave a lot of praise to Sam.
586 Mitchell said at 4:29 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Sam continues to look pretty good and his lone int came off a tipped ball.
587 JoeBlow said at 4:30 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
yea tipped ball ain’t his fault if it’s a D-lineman
588 Bert's Bells said at 4:38 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Tipped at the line is a good play by the D Line, but still on the QB finding the passing lane and getting over the guy’s finger.
589 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Better than a bad read though. Sam has played well since the end of November
590 JoeBlow said at 4:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i hear ya, but a Qb has his eyes dowfield
If your playing QB and looking at the D-line while passing, your doing it wrong

593 George said at 4:31 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I think that, regardless of who the new HC is, shurmur has to stay in some capacity. guy seems to work well with sam, andt seems like we won’t be picking high enough to take a shot a lynch or goff, so sam seems like the best option. slowly warming up to getting a defensive hc and keeping shurmur on board to run the offense, which looked much better today than at any point I can remember this yaer. I don’t care that the giants are the worst defense in the league, I think that with another weapon or two and some fresh blood on the o-line, the eagles could be a pretty darn good offense. as for the d, well they need some work, to say the least
594 myartz04 said at 4:32 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Sam actually audibled today.
595 George said at 4:35 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I know, I really liked the tweaks that pat made to the offense made today. slowing down, not going 120mph all the time, AUDIBLING(oh my god I haven’t seen an audible in years), and overall I think everybody looked good, and with some extra infusion of talent this is an offense that could put up 20 on anybody.
596 oreofestar said at 4:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Lol put up 20
597 George said at 4:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
*20+
598 George said at 4:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

599 Greg Richards said at 4:39 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Younger, more innovative guy as offensive coordinator. Shurmur AHC/QBs coach.
600 George said at 4:40 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I could deal with that, although Idk if shurmur would accept that “demotion” unless it came with a big bump in salary
601 JoeBlow said at 4:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Wow, Bradford……”slower tempo allowed for us to call the right plays against the right looks”
602 myartz04 said at 4:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I love it. They played real nfl football today.
603 daveH said at 4:35 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
except against one of the worst teams ..and unfor it was close .. but it leaves me more optimistic WITHOUT chip
604 JoeBlow said at 4:36 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
they have slowed the tempo though before today….it helps when guys don’t commit penalties and actually catch the ball…..but it just struck me as Bradford saying “keep Shurmur”
605 myartz04 said at 4:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
True. But he didn’t allow Sam to change plays…which makes a huge difference with the right qb. Also makes you less predictable.
606 JoeBlow said at 4:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
yes i agree
607 JoeBlow said at 4:37 PM on January 3rd, 2016:

610 SteveH said at 4:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I wasn´t a big Chip fan by the end but I gotta say that the Jordan Mathews spinning the ball thing is a BS complaint – you don´t spin the ball because you´re trying to get it back to the officials ASAP, not because Chip was trying to be some kind of killjoy douchebag.
611 anon said at 4:34 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
he threatened to bench shady for that in the beginning
612 Insomniac said at 4:43 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
It’s a few seconds. It’s not even an excessive celebration.
613 JoeBlow said at 4:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i thought Chip complained about Jmatt doing it after a TD? if Chip told him to stop after a play then Chip is absolutely correct in telling him to cut it out
614 FairOaks said at 5:07 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
It was supposed to be for a TD celebration, where you aren’t caring that much about getting the ball back to the refs. Does seem a weird thing, but if true, it’s excessive. I can see the complaint on a first down, or to avoid a celebration penalty, but short of that…

I could say the same about you. Winning a battle doesn’t win the war.

According to your logic, the Browns should have a dynasty seeing that they pick in the top 5 every year. …and Mingo was his name-o

Except in the last 15 years of Eagles football, they were never as bad as the Browns. Case closed.
642 Joe Minx said at 4:47 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
No one expected them to tank. We just expected them to find a way to lose a game the way they have for most of the year. Instead they actually played decently.

It’s ok to be disappointed about it. But people are actually mad about it.
644 A_T_G said at 4:53 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Being disappointed at the outcome or angry at the football gods is much different than accusing the coaches and players of making bad choices as if tanking was ever a serious option, agreed.

13-17
658 oreofestar said at 4:46 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Root for Raiders and Rams difference between 13-15
659 mksp said at 4:48 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
So we’re at least top-15, that’s good.
660 Mitchell said at 4:50 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Odell was picked 13th I think right? They’ll be somone there but im rooting for spot 13.
661 myartz04 said at 4:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
But you only get good players at pick number 9!!!
662 Mitchell said at 4:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Well the chances of gettting the player you want are higher and if several teams want that player, the odds are higher he is exceptionally talented. However it doesnt nessecarily guarantee anything. See John Cooper thus far or Dion Jordan.
663 oreofestar said at 4:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
No one’s saying that but there is no reason not to want a higher pick, hell not all the good players are picked first round so why not forgo the first round with your logic
664 Greg Richards said at 4:45 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
It’s what you’d expect them to say but offensive players coming out strong in support of keeping Bradford.
665 George said at 4:51 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
What do we think about the QB class thus year v. SB? who should we keep? I know sam won’t come cheap as his agent is condon, but can we do better than sam?? can we contend with him, or do we let him walk and start over with goff, lynch, or somebody else who our staff can mold into a franchise qb(maybe)?
666 JoeBlow said at 4:52 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
do both, keep Sam and draft a QB
667 George said at 4:54 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Yeah, but who? if we keep sam, I think(at least) that we need to invest HEAVILY in the o-line, and that means first rounder to me. So that means that we’d need a second-third round find. I don’t know enough about the depth of the qb class to know if a find like that is potentially out there. But I agree, if the money is not crippling, you keep sam and then get a QB to develop.
668 JoeBlow said at 4:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i’m in favor of trading back and picking up more picks, and drafting Carson Wentz….i think this draft is pretty thick with oline prospects.
your not going to fill all the holes with one draft….even if we do go heavy with o-line it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to improve….if the rookies end up starting, they are still rookies and the line needs to develop a cohesivness
669 George said at 5:03 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Well I am of the opinion that the line needs an overhaul. JP, while good, needs to be dealt of moved inside. Land needs to swing over to lt, and kelce can stay. Everybody else needs to be a backup. We can use maybe 1-2 rookies, but other than that we should sign some middle of the road, servicable vets and build around lane, kelce, and a high draft pick.
As for wentz, I need to look atr him. admittedly, I haven’t seen much of him,and need to look at him and see if I think he is franchise material after a few years of tutelidge.
670 anon said at 5:04 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
notice he played the whole game today.
671 JoeBlow said at 5:08 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i’m riding the Wentz train pretty hard lol…..i’ll either look smart or like a complete fool, but it should take a few years to decide….kid is a project
672 anon said at 5:09 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
why wentz over bradford?
673 JoeBlow said at 5:09 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
not over him……to groom behind Bradford
674 George said at 5:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
we’ll see. Like i said, i need to see him play, and given that he played at a non-fbs school, I need to see him in some sort of all star team, but he’s big, he has a big arm, and certainly looks the part, but I need to see if he can be developed or if he is at a d1aa school for a reason
675 JoeBlow said at 5:14 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
his team is in the FCS championship game on Jan 9, but i don’t think he is playing…..he injured his wrist in mid-october and was only supposed to be out 8 weeks
As for o-line the FA pool isn’t too hot…..Just guys you will have to overpay for or more Dennis Kelly types
676 George said at 5:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
yeah, i know, but maybe we can find another mathis type, or at least somebody who is serviceable for a few years so we don’t have 2-3 rookies on the o-line
677 Insomniac said at 4:53 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
This year’s QB class is potentially as bad as the year Ponder, Locker, and Gabbert were drafted.
678 anon said at 4:53 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
gotta stick w/ sam, concentrate on ol or another WR. not worth wasting first on a qb w/ no o-line, i think you have to keep sammy b
679 myartz04 said at 4:55 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Keep Sam. OL OL OL. Need some pass rush too
680 George said at 4:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
and corners. and more corners. and maybe a linebacker or two. and did i mention corners
681 anon said at 4:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
we have rushers in a 43
682 anon said at 4:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Honestly — looking at the roster chip left he did a pretty good job in 3 years of fixing the roster. still a couple of pieces away but the roster feels younger. have a qb, etc.
683 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:00 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
You’re joking right? Roster got significantly older under Chip. See Kempski’s posts on age. We lost top talent (DJax, McCoy, Mathis) and we now have serious holes in places that were good when Chip got here – OG, OT, WR. Defense got better with experience along Dline, but other than that. I don’t see any other area of improvement. Maybe K if Parkey returns healthy.
684 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:02 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Oh, Safety improved. Will give you that, but team is in worse shape than the team that ended 4-12 3 years ago. That team had plenty of major injuries to point to and were playing a rookie QB.
685 anon said at 5:04 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
defense is WAY better in terms of talent now.
686 JoeBlow said at 5:06 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
we’ll get younger if we cut Peters, Ryans, Celek
687 anon said at 5:03 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
can’t keep all those guys – djax, mccoy, maclin, mathis (Who is 35 btw and rotating w/ an udfa)
if ck didn’t flub on murray, we have a lot of younger guys and cheap FAs. Just need a coach that can get them to play well.
have the best safety tandem we’ve had in 10yrs.
688 scratcherk said at 4:56 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Not sure why Gase wouldnt go to Indy and work with Luck.
689 George said at 4:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Because Irsay+Grigson might just be worse than Lurie+Howie
690 anon said at 4:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
yup, luck and a ton of offesnive weapons
691 oreofestar said at 4:58 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
We’re getting stuck with McDermott
692 anon said at 4:57 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Sam Bradford’s last 7 starts: 175/258 (67.9%), 1959 yards (7.6 y/a), 10 TD, 4 INT, 96.7 rating.
693 truehaynes said at 5:07 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Shift Peters to guard. Move lane to left tackle. Sign the best guard available. Draft a big mauling rt in the first round. 3 rd round picks go for a nickle db and a big raw wr who could eventually start. I want another outside cb but were stuck with Maxwell for atleast another year. Shift to the 4-3 and this defense could be nice.
694 anon said at 5:08 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
max, rowe and carroll gives you 3 guys you can rotate, dime looks a lot better.
plus don’t have to burn a ton of picks on dbs again, i’d be looking at burning those picks on ol/wrs
695 FairOaks said at 5:09 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Carroll is a free agent. Injury might bring down his price though. We will get Shepherd back.
696 anon said at 5:10 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
an embarrasment of riches, if only we could get them to play well.
697 JoeBlow said at 5:15 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i like Sheperd a lot….really good in man-to-man….tackling is an issue however
698 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:09 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I want 2 OL within first 3 picks. Cut Peters. He’s been great, but we need to build a new OL around Lane and Kelce.
699 anon said at 5:11 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
i think peters plays better w/out tempo. i think you get a later round /udfa to groom but i think peters will be better than replacement level next year. played really well this game.
700 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:14 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Well, I’m all for the full on rebuild next year. Shed all the old guys – Meco, Peters, Celek, Bair, & Barbre. Trade back, get more picks. Load up on OL in particular. Use FAs to fill holes with journeymen. No big signings (unless its a top OT).
701 truehaynes said at 5:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
I think you have to convince Peters to take a pay cut and move to guard. Otherwise try and trade him for a late round pick
702 anon said at 5:14 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Jason Peters says the Eagles won’t find a better left tackle than him in 2016
703 anon said at 5:14 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
clear peters hated kelly
704 anon said at 5:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Jordan Matthews asked Bradford how big his house was because he plans on working him a ton all offseason
705 anon said at 5:16 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Peters says he wants to retire w/ eagles#Eagles
“I’m best in locker room. Who they gonna get better than me? Nobody. Who they draft better? Nobody”
706 George said at 5:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
where did you see this??
707 anon said at 5:19 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
twitter reports from lockerroom interviews. see esp, mclane, etc.
708 George said at 5:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
ok, couldn’t tell if this was a joke or if JP would actually be arrogant enough to say it lol
709 anon said at 5:22 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
well he knows there’s a chance he’s cut
710 George said at 5:24 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
you think there are a couple teams that would consider trading for him and we could start a bidding war?? teams that need a LT and need one to contend with in the next few years? I can dream, right?
711 JoeBlow said at 5:17 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
sounds like Dikembe Mutombo

now that we’re post chip and need a fb, can we get little gronk?
713 anon said at 5:19 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Asked who he would like to see as the next coach, Jason Peters said someone like Andy Reid, a father figure you want to play for.
714 anon said at 5:20 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Eagles have allowed more yards than any team in NFL history over the last seven weeks of a season: 3,134. Previous record: 3,122.
715 anon said at 5:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Zach Ertz is first Eagles tight end with consecutive games of 120 yards or more since Pete Retzlaff in 1965.
716 anon said at 5:21 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Ertz has 29 catches for 399 yards in his last four games.
717 anon said at 5:24 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Some .#Eagles players said running tempo offense at slower pace helped cut down penalties.
718 George said at 5:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
you don’t say? a 5th grader could have figured that out, but chip can’t. lol.
719 JoeBlow said at 5:25 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
wonder if anyone mentioned receivers actually catching the ball as well
720 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:30 PM on January 3rd, 2016:
Are you saying they executed better by slowing things down a bit? Who knew?
