Gameday – at DET
Posted: October 9th, 2016 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 981 Comments »The Eagles are looking to go 4-0 for the first time since 2004. You may recall that the Eagles went to the Super Bowl that year. They also won early season games against the Bears, Browns and Lions. How’s that for weird?
We’ve got a long way to go before we really start making those comparisons. It just occurred to me how similar the schedules were and how the teams both got off to such good starts. The 2004 team won in DET 30-13. It will be interesting to see how the team does today.
Here are the inactives.
Eagles inactives: WR Treggs, S T.Brooks, DE Means, OL Andrews, OL Gordon, OL Vaitai, OL Seumalo
— Tim McManus (@Tim_McManus) October 9, 2016
The return of Zach Ertz means that someone else has to sit. Steven Means is that guy. The Eagles still have plenty of bodies at DE. Means was a luxury since he didn’t play a ton on STs. I’m guessing Ertz gets a TD today. The Lions struggle with TEs and you know Wentz sees Ertz as a key weapon.
I’d love to see Josh Huff catch a ball down the field. Doesn’t have to be a big play. Just get him something 10-20 yards downfield. He has caught nothing but screens so far. I want the ball in his hands against this leaky secondary.
One of the things I’m most interested in is seeing how the coaches use the RBs today. Everyone is healthy. Today we’ll see who they want to play. Ryan Mathews is still the lead dog, but Wendell Smallwood has been too good to not use him. Smallwood averages 4.8 yards per carry. Kenjon Barner is up at 6.1. Mathews is down at 3.2. He’s had some bad luck so don’t read that as all being on him. The blocking in the CLE game wasn’t great. We’ll see what the coaches do.

This is a game the Eagles should win. But that’s what makes the NFL so compelling. You never know what will happen on Sunday afternoon.
That said, I think Doug Pederson will have his guys ready to roll and the Eagles will win.

Let’s do this.

Under Reid, every year we had one of “those games,” when everything was out of sync and we lost to a bad team. Let’s hope that’s one coaching tip he didn’t pass on to Pederson.
I’m pumped Go Birds
The line is low b/c the Lions sometimes win with pretty mediocre talent in the dome at home…
Happy to see Ertz and McKelvin back along with Logan not laying down on the job. Bennie missing the game due to some unnecessary and clandestine practice injury would have been too much to stomach.
And our guys spent the week looking at lousy Lions tape and getting overconfident; their guys spent time looking at our Steelers victory and preparing like crazy. Emotional things favor the Lions.
Luckily we’ve been here for two weeks warning the team against a letdown vs. a trash opponent.
If they let down they r not the team we think they r
If they let down, I’m looking to be banned from the internet.
And what some people never really learn is there is no such thing as a trash opponent in the NFL, especially when the team is home and the refs are making things difficult.
Ugh, the bye week has allowed the glorious beat-down of Pittsburgh to fade in memory and doubt has started to creep in again, please don’t let me down Eagles!
Plus all of those steel eating mongrels have been revising history and attempted to diminish the glory of our win.
Time to humble another fan base.
This game is more a test of Doug Pederson than anyone or anything else. He’s been excellent so far. Let’s see if he pushed the right buttons coming out of the bye going against a trap game type of team in the wounded Lions.
Hey yall, excited to watch the game with everyone. Its been too long. Lets go Eagles. Got an old fashioned made and ready to roll.
Yes! I agree. And I’m at home today rather than my usual den of inequity, so I’m looking forward to checking in on here as well.
Got no Eagles fans around me… I can’t watch with casual fans. They distract me from the task at hand.
the wifey gets an A for effort but an F for football knowledge.
Sent mine off to NYC for the day. Yay me!
That was nice of Kendricks to sponsor the gloves and cleats today.
Made it back in time from Baltimore for the game! Let’s go Birds!
Hopefully you told them they’re required to win today.
Sure did. Also, every Redskins fan that was at the hotel I was in only wanted to talk about Carson Wentz.
I don’t dignify their disgraceful fan base or mascot by calling them anything other than Washington.
Starting R Mathews in fantasy today. Hoping for some garbage time yards/TD
Good luck.
What’s with all these campaign commercials? Is there an election or something?
That’s not a crossbow.
Barwin held
looked like a hold there on barwin
100%
get em schwartzy
Goddamnit guys, GET EM
shake off the cobwebs D
D feels a little flat
Refs missed a hold on Barwin and now another hold
Fox loves them some Golden Taint
Hold on Curry
BIg fuckign hold
HOLD ON CURRY WHAT THE FUCK
first no gain of the game
That’s better.
2 goddamn missed holding calls, this is shit.
Somebody should smack the ref
They were borderline but callable.
lucky there
Get the stop. Force the FG try.
ugh
Fuck me
you foul mouthed democrat
not bad coverage
great throw
come on false start
apparently the lions are the eagles kryptonite. This is ridiculous.
Welp, that was crap.
Kendricks SUCKS
Kendricks got smoked. Tough cover but geeZ
He sucks.
He wasn’t on the field until the goal line as we were in nickel the whole drive.
Our corners are weak in general and in Nickel D Ron Brooks offers little run support value.
Kendricks sucks
not a great defense. Looks like a lot of people out of position to make plays.
Do not know why I ever get my hopes up with this team
likely because the game isnt over.
Keep Kendricks the hell off of the field
This has not been a good start for the team.
Huff is such a mental midget
Anyone else watching out of market on directv and getting awful interference?
no interference here
good good.
We do get to see how Carson and the offense respond with a bit of adversity to start. Clearly Schwarz’s plan
does it tip the play when wr’s break the huddle early?
That was a 3 TE set with the only receiver being Matthews.
nice motion to huff
deep throw here?
Was just thinking same
first bad throw i can remember
Had 1 early vs steelers
That ball just hit Ags in his face; weak
No, Ags was going for the ball, playing defense on the underthrown pass. Despite the ball in the face, that was actually a smart play by him.
Allowing his route to get undercut wasn’t too smart.
Well we know the answer to the will they come out flat questions
stupid bye week
easily the worse series I’ve seen of Wentz…
Barbre Doll shoved right into Wentz
i hate these games where everyone is picking us.
This is just the kind of game that Wentz (and Pederson) needs. Anxious/curious to see how they respond!
OK. That’s enough adversity. Time to turn it on.
goodness, come on…
Marcus
thank you marcus smith
didnt think i’d hear that today
Carroll has given up three completions and now a PI
MSIII with a TFL.
Best play of his career
hey there marcus smith!
offsides…
sloppy play so far.
have a 4 play parley that’s relying on this game.
Wake up Philly. C’mon now.
Any chance we can get 10 inches of snow before halftime?
Roof looks intact
mother f… isnt boldin like 70
several of us made a request to sign him
This sux
At JFK Airport. .no links working for me so ALL comments are ny game
.. all color & play by play helps
Go burds
If you DVRd it skip the first quarter
Yeah with holding complaints &kendricjs sucks comments ..im feeling the worry
you don’t want to know. Pederson not looking like Andy Ried coming out of a bye.
Stafford flushed and ran for a first at our 30, then late hit for another 15
yeah those hits are always questionable.
Eagles are just playing super super sloppy football right now.
Lions are simply making plays and not making mistakes. They are playing well.
I think we only have a handful of stops for no gain so far this game
Screen to riddick for TD
Our D getting decimated.
BRUTAL. This team better wake up.
Hicks could have gotten after that prior to being blocked.
DAMMIT
Well…this looks like a regression back to the mean….
Welcome home Coach Schwartz.
This is the definition of a trap game
yup – should have bet against eagles, sigh
cant win em all fellas
These guys lost to the bears?
divisional games always different.
while true, lets not sugarcoat this. This is not a good Lions team yet they are kicking the shit out of the birds right now.
100% agree, lots of their playmakers are out.
This is pathetic.
Schwartz getting beat by a guy named JimBob. Sigh
Defense is.. is…. is tired?
Right now it looks like they just got off vacation.
Lots of game left. But more importantly lots of career left for Wentz. Let’s see how he responds down 14. If nothing else will be a huge learning experience for him. Also an easy motivator for the rest of the year.
Sure I want to win but I’m focusing on big picture today (and all season).
Yep, keep it in perspective guys!
Good challenge bring set up for us … Schwartzy will adapt.. so will wentz
Wentz broke a sack peters would have given up for a nice touch throw to Mathews in the flat
the audio going really static-y and fuzzy for anyone else, or just me on gamepass?
not here
I’ll say it again. Yes, we look sleepy, but Lions look sharp. Let’s hope they turn back into the Lions soon.
They need to be turned back into the Lions by us.
Looking a litt better here
First designed run there.
too risky. Need to minimize those.
Risk vs reward. Opens up the run game enough that is worth it 2-3 times a game.
I don’t want him body bagged if we can avoid it. As long as he slides / goes out of bounds on those I can live with it, but too many guys who run that play too much don’t learn to slide / go out of bounds.
nice drive
draw?
ugh, he was calling for it.
YOU SUCK KELCE>>>>>>>>>>>>SNAP THE BALL WHEN THE QB IS CALLING FOR IT
SPROLESYYY!
straight up the center, great burst.
first and goal from the 3
Quick hitter up the middle to Sproles for down to the 1 yard line.
TD TO RYAN MATHEWS!
run?
short pass
play action, release from backfield.
Good Drive by the Birds there. The Defense needs to step up now.
And the refs need to call some holdings.
On the board….need the D to settle down now and get some stops…
Tell the refs they’re allowed to call holding on Detroit.
I will do my best…
Good to get the TD back.
Still worried about 3 missed holdings on the Lions “blockers”, Kendricks’s putrid inability to cover guys in the pass game, Agholor almost causing a Wentz INT, and Kelce having zero situational awareness with the play clock.
Got to have games like this to see what needs fixed.
Agreed………..but I’d prefer it to be a game we win.
Haha I thought you were gonna say we already knew two of those things were problems.
kendricks has to be gone this offseason, would love some pick compensation
Agreed.
That was a huge drive. Let’s get a stop or better yet a TO. Wentz is a baller.
I traded Demarco for Jameis. That was a big mistake. My eagles fandom skewed my perception there
Jakeem Grant just scored a TD!
How is Blake Countess doing today?
That goes out to D3
Wentz down 14 and responded with a TD
When will our linebackers respond?
When Cox, Curry or Graham get it going
Edit: forgot Logan
The D has not woken up yet
They get better as the game goes tho so lets be patient
Jesus ,what is up with our run defense???
TERRIBLE LB play today.
Lot of contact there by Mckelvin, lucky no call
nevermind, good play
They owe us 5
Logan good play against the run there for no gain
Bennie Logan is good for about 3 of those a game.
3rd and 11. Stop here!
Okay get off the field
Cleveland down another QB
MAKE A FUCKING TACKLE
Terrible spot, he was def short
Challenge
Tulloch missed tackle.
well fucking short.
challenge that shit
thank goodness Dougie knows when to challenge.
We have to waste a challenge because we missed a tackle and the refs suck.
WRAP THE GUY UP THE FIRST TIME
riddick is destroying us today.
True. And FUCK Riddick. He’s a scumbag who stole too many touches from Abdullah.
no surprise it was Kendricks who didn’t even slow him down
I think it was Tulloch that time.
I cant watch today, are they challenging?
yes
I thought Chip would be better at challenges with his dedicated challenge guy, but he sucked
They are going to go for it
We’d better stack them up.
im sure.
Question is will they punt?
Overturned call, 4th down.
COME ON D.!!!!
Watch hard count!!!
stuff em!
It appears that the only real weapon that Detroit has is killing us….Theo Riddick having another good game against us….
team is succeptible to screen
sneak for the first.
There are 5 stiffs on Detroit’s o-line; how the hell did they surge us?
they’re fat
Josh Norman is hurt
He did his job last week.
We had the 2nd team Dline in there for some reason.
great d by carroll to TFL
Penalty free game for lions so far
Nonsense officiating. They’ve held us 3 times.
So off topic but Angry Brady is damn scary. 13/15 185yards and 2 TD’s so far… 20 mins into the game.
Boldin and Riddick FTW
D getting fucking destroyed. CANNOT STOP THEM
There had better be somebody cut if this crap keeps up on D. TACKLE THESE BUMS
Their play calling is perfect and stafferd is making plays
Every nobody in the world is gaining yards
This D is exhausting me
So defense is only good until the bye? Is that how it works?
another fucking hold
yes, false start!
Lions starting to Lion?
false start is defensive MVP for us this game so far
uh oh
Stafford destroyed
FUCKING ASSHOLES
GET IT THE FUCK TOGETHER
Facemask
and we get fucked by the refs.
what a moronic play…
that was stupid by fletch
JimBob Cooter just chowing down on Schwartz’ lunch.
should have held them to a fg there. fuck.
more missed tackles.
Kendricks can just stay in Detroit.
Kendricks actually ran interference there.
on his own man
Piss poor tackles
they score again?
yes, pass to marvin jones
Everything working for them. Had a nice 3rd down sack but grabbed face mask.
Stafford destroying us.
Stafford playing like he owns us. Confidence is through the roof.
It’s almost comical how things are going for defense today. Everything working for lions. Everything.
0 touchdown passes given up the D in 3 games. 3 today so far.
Fuck you Brooks.
Fuck you Kendricks
Fuck you EVERYBODY
what a mouth, wow
3-1 here we come
2016 Lions: Best offense in history
Not feeling confident about this game, now. Plus side, I get to see more of Wentz with real adversity, and no cutesy stuff to protect him. Not that his play this game to now was giving me great feelings…
Most hated teams:
Cowboys
Giants
Redskins
Cardinals
Tie between Lions and Pats
Giants
Yup they’re on there
They should be on there more than once. They have the worst fans of any team by far.
Cowboys are worse but it’s close
I know more arrogant New Yorkers in the Main Line / western burbs area than I do fake hick Cowboy fans. New Yorkers are pure scum.
It’s all perspective – I went to school in Dallas (SMU). Pure hell
And worked security in a few bars in the shadow of Nova, so I feel you.
lions are fairly innocuous, when they’re not playing us
Key words are “when they’re not playing us”
May have to just root for an 0-4 division day.
Lions somehow seem familiar with the Schwartz defense.
Let’s go Wentz, keep us in this one. Score here and we get ball to start 2nd half.
Time to man up. Get this to 14-21 at halftime and 21-21 coming out of the half.
It’s ok. This team is still good. Offense is doing what it wants after the first drive, especially Sproles. Good for the Boy King to have a game when he’s down. I trust Schwartz to get this shit together. Offense needs to give the D a breather.
The D needs to give itself a breather by getting off the field on 3rd and 4th.
it did, they’ve only had it twice. one was a long drive
It needs to be 21-21 after the start of the 3rd.
MIN dominating
good hands catch by ags there.
Ball seemed to float
Nice hands catch Ags
So far it’s looking like Doug won’t have Reids after the bye record.
Looks more like we can cool off on the Schwartz head coach talk
is jordan just playing with the jugs machine this game or what…?
Schwartz may have said facing old team not a big deal to him, but Lions obviously felt differently about facing him. Stafford owns us right now and playing supper loose and confident. Will be anxious to see how defense responds!
Sleeves is up24-0 on Hou. minny is good
That D is in a bad mood.
So if Bradham is indeed being punished for the off the field stuff, I’m ok with that decision by the coaches. I’m not OK with Kendricks being useless relative to his salary.
designed run for wntz first down
sailed it there and almost INT
BRUTAL
Wentz is off today too.
BS call on sproles there
That was a total bullshit call there.
I had a feeling we would lose this game I feel like Detroit always pays is tough except that time we wore those hideous blue and yellow throwbacks.
What is that call
chop block on sproles
complete BS
These refs don’t know squat. Somebody need to go into their locker room at half time and give them the biker gang in the bar treatment from a Bronx Tale.
That bye week effed us in the A
That’s coaching.
great fucking throw and catch by matthews. first down
negated by penalty FUCK
So, just got here. 21-7?
we’re being dominated. SLOPPY
Embarrassing, inexcusable, and hopefully results in dire consequences for somebody.
screen pass for 5 yrd coming up here
Why? It was a penalty?
yea, it was ineligible downfield on connor barwin apparently… who plays defense…
this is bullshit!!
somehow they’re reviewing this. can u review inelligible downfield?
I guess they can when they say it’s on Connor barwin
No, they’re reviewing the catch to see if they’ll decline the penalty.
I don’t understand this? They called a penalty on us and negated the play anyways.
It’s incomplete. They will decline the penalty
first down????
wtf????
Sleeves is crushing Texans
They pick up the flag?
This referee crew is really goddamn terrible.
Mr. Magoo and crew.
At least terrible our way that time
That can be fixed by beating them savagely.
the catch/fumble out of bounds was ruled and was correct.
screen to sproles for first down. @ detroit 30 yrd line
receiver fell, penalty called on us of course.
Jesus
Any compliments to Barbre need to be rescinded………… HE SUCKS
Sammy Coates wouldhave been a great pick up if only he could catch
Haha..inelligble man picked up…Matthews pass looked incomplete..refs nails us out calling it a catch follows by a fumble OOB…first down…
sack, going backwards.
peters got beat
PETERS beaten
*sigh*
The basic reasons why people thought Wentz *wasn’t* a high first round pick are showing up here.
Because he got sacked?
Sort of.
The process to set up last throw to set up the field goal was mostly good…
but watch his feet. A number of his pass attempts have his feet stuck in concrete. Partially responsible for that sack.
Let’s not find reasons to bitch and be completely irrational
no idea what you’re talking about…
take a number
Uh oh, noted QB expert shah8 is down on Wentz.
If only we had signed Joe Webb instead.
Looks like the Eagles spent too much time during the bye week patting themselves on the back.
Are these guys for real?
of course penalty on fucking us, FUCK YOU REFS
Saw 1 highlight and saw a hold on Lions WR .. not called and ref staring right at it
Not even 3
3rd and 36
How many penalties do we have in this game? damn.
So did the team just spend the past 2 weeks just basking in their own hype? They look like hot garbage today. Terribly undisciplined and sluggish.
Well barwin went to some foreign country prob banged some top notch chicks for 3rd world prices. Bradman got arrested and the refs ate dinner with the Lions front office.
We forgot to bribe the refs this week, evidently.
chance for a FG
If Sturgis misses this he had better be locked out of the locker room at half time.
good play by wentz
reiterate. This is bullshit. 2nd half better have a whole lot of Lions penalties
Or injured refs.
I want a win or I want blood.
perfect practice kick by sturgis
Damn. Hate when they make the practice one
Money Sturgis
Shockingly useful from Sturgis. Nice way to end the half.
Damn, Power Sturge with the big leg.
Only down 11 at halftime. Detroit isn’t shit. Their fans aren’t shit. These refs aren’t shit.
Time to get a win.
What? No flag on the FG?
Sturgical precision.
Wentz is the only guy who’s not playing like garbage. That was an embarrassing first half.
And even he made a couple crappy decisions/throws.
agreed, not quite as accurate as he’s been but he’s playing well. Terrible job by D against a bunch of backups.
I think Ags made a real nice grab. Hard to judge the Wrs without seeing downfield. RBs aren’t the issue either.
Everything working for Lions offense. We’ll see if Schwartz can adjust. Kendricks really struggling. Eagles offense keeping us in it.
Great game for Wentz to be in!
Kendricks needs to go bye bye.
It’ll be interesting to see if Bradham is kept out of the game in the 2nd half, or if one half (and Kendricks abysmal play) was enough punishment for being a dumbass with his gun.
was he left out?
has been standing on the sideline in his helmet, apparently. Hence Kendricks on the field so much
let the dumbass back in Schwartz!
So, has the league made adjustments against the Eagles? Attacking LBs and CBs on D, mucking up the short passes and screens on O, trying to confuse Wentz? Or just an off day?
Off day. Didn’t get off of the bus ready to play.
The offense has scored 10 points on 3 drives with a lot of penalties. They are not the main issue today.
Seems like the refs have made adjustments.
Any truth to the rumor that we’re rebranding the YAK stat to mean Yards after Kendricks?
Pete Morelli was also the ref in that Detroit/Dallas wildcard game where he picked up a PI flag that gave Dallas the game. So this is either a make-up game or he REALLY hates Philly.
We need to call a sweep play directly into his throat.
Tommy is a bit off after the bye week too. No 2nd half thread?
drinking his worries away
getting an error when i load igglesblitz.
Kendricks and Barbre must be the new webmasters.
Often
allright, lets score here, back in the game.
running has been effective, need more
Need a TD this drive
great hands catch by ags
Agholor has come a live this season.
Again ags
This Lawson piece of shit needs to stop grabbing our guys after the whistle. He needs a helmet in his knee.
no flag on DPI there
Ryan mathews with a great broken tackle there
I like. Especially because I haven’t seen that before.
Nice Ryan
end aroudn to huff snuffed out
Ah…………Glover Quin, we didn’t need him, we had Chung.
He didn’t go to Oregon
Is the guy that needed the play by play still here?
I need one, Idk if Im “that guy” or not though.
DGB with great catch and run and stiff arm
Nice
DGB
run it in
Pull it Carson.
TO DET
Good, waste a TO
Time for a TD by Ertz
Wentz in shotgun, quick pass to Huff on teh money for TD!
Who stole Huff’s uniform?
2?
2 early
Agree. Just thought I’d ask
Nice play design there. STacked WRs, both running a slant route, with Matthews (81) acting as a natural rub/pick.
You’re right shah, get this scrub Wentz out of here.
Would you have been surprised if that ball bounced straight off Huff’s hands? 🙂
into the lions
No. I’m more shocked he held on.
Shocked.
Unsportsmanlike conduct on lions on XP
Wentz dropped the arm angle to put that one where he wanted – really, is there anything he can’t do?
Play defense and stop the Lions.
dont challenge him
play D?
Haven’t seen him walk on water yet, but I’ve heard rumors.
My favorite play of that drive was the pass to DGB short of the sticks on third down and he muscles his way for first and goal.
Okay, can we get a sign of life from the D?
17/19 181 2-0 for 141 rating………….now I know why the Iranian people hated the Shah so much.
Could we have taken that penalty and gotten a closer opportunity to go for 2?
Yea
picked up the flag. great job you idiot refs
Need a takeaway here.
ill take a stop
Took the words out of my mouth (or keyboard)
Today’s ref crew is the 3 blind mice apparently.
another non penalty
This officiating crew is rage inducing. Unbelievable.
im gonna start drinking soon
I already am 3 deep. I quit the laptop after that first drive where the refs missed 2 obvious holding calls.
2 quarters too late
call a sweep into the refs. Take them out.
Returner got annihilated for lions
They’re starting at 18 yrd line
Angry Brady Tracker Update: 32 mins in and he has 330 yards and 3 TD’s.
My fantasy team is pleased
What # is Bradham?
007
53.
TY
Just look for the weapon outside the hip
Ok, LETS GO DEFENSE YOU GODDAMN FUCKERS, THE OFFENSE IS DOING THEIR THING NOW DO YOURS.
Mood right now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNCrs63JeuM
stop these scrubs from running on us
Kendricks still in there:/
deflected, almost int. REFS fucking us again
FUCK YOU REF FUCK YOU
ok maybe you had a point…
sacked! and no flag!!
actually there was a flag. on DET. unsportsmanlike conduct on boldin
Thank you Boldin
D looks a bit more fired up now. Looks like Schwartz’s boot is well up inside their collective rectum.
2nd and 23
Refs are killing thisgame
FUMBLE EAGLES BALL!!!
Nice job D!!!!! Nom nom nom
Strip sack on Stafford, Eagles ball on 15 yard line!!!
No strip sack he just dropped it
YES YES YES SCHWARTZZ
Aaaand Stafford gunna Stafford.
Dumbass.
stafford just dropped it actually
more like he forgot to hold it, moved his hands but left the ball behind
Lions. lol
Bradham with the recovery
i love that dumbass
Bradham jumped on that like it was a cabana boy
bad route by ags, good throw
incomplete
ryan for 2
FUCK DGB should have had the TD, drop
Two TD passes………..both dropped.
Where’s the flag?
they used their quota for DET already
dang! should have caught that.
Both
sturgis with the fg
1 point game after that 1st half with 6 min to go in 3rd? We’re in good shape.
Get ’em Schwartz.
So we have had a four point drop and a four point face mask.
so how many drops today
That drop was trips to the right and DGB to the left. Pass to the EZ was on his body and DGB tried to body catch it and it was dropped/stripped away
Wasteam takes the lead over Bal
Returner dropped at 15
Kudos to Fipp. Short kick – force the return – good coverage. 1st & 10 at 15 Lions.
Needed a TD on that TO…come on D…get a rush going….
Agholor and DGB dropping TDs doesn’t help.
Toss to Tate for Loss. Tate flops at the end for a flag. Not a bad idea by him with the way the game is going
The ref laughed at him.
screen back to original LOS
3rd and 10
D looking better
Mills back in for McKelvin (injured)
Mckelvin aggravates the hammy
What was that loser doing all month when he was laying down on the job?
Rehabbing with Kendricks.
Boldin stopped short, no flags.
did i mention no flags. Three and out! Woot!
Punt. Let’s go sproles
Short punt, great bounce, sproles stupidly did not fair catch
start at 20
Punt was way short. Risk reward to try and pick up on a bounce and get 15 yards vs a fumble and game changer. I think it was a pro move by Sproles
This is the TD drive where you go for 2.
Lions are exactly who they are!
short throw to sproles for 5
screen to matthews snuffed out for no gain
BARBRE WITH ANOTHER TERRIBLE PLAY
Screens aren’t working
Barbre has sucked today. He got pushed by a LB into the receiver.
kelce with his head up his ass again
KELCE YOU PIECE OF SHIT>>>>>>>>>>>>SNAP THE BALL
Kelce again.
It’s the silent count. It’s not Keces fault
F that. Wentz is clapping for the ball to get him to snap it early. Where is the awareness?
He has to wait till brooks taps him
Somebody should double tap him with Bradham’s side arm.
brooks late with the tap?
Its wentz. He has to start before 2 on the clock.
draw play for 2, punt coming
The interior of our line is not having a great day.
great field position for lions 45 yrd line
Thaks Kelce and Barbre.
Short field; shit.
Not his best punt
Bad break on the.bounce
SKip Bayless get the eff of my screen
always
Why do we need to see Shit Bayless during the game?
Atrocious set of plays called, magnified by Sprole’s odd choice of letting the ball roll for 20 yards.
no gain for riddick
are they getting the play in with enough time? WTF is going on?
Looks like its on brooks not hitting kelce on the 2 count
stafford throws away, 3rd and 11
Thoughts Moronelli as reaching for the flag
Ref was reaching
Lions gotta take a shot deep here.
pass to jones short by a foot
end of third.
4th and a foot for lions. prob going for it here
Probably another sneak
Wash is up 6
just a bad football game, aesthetically…
I’ll take a win , aesthetically or not
Matt Stafford is one of the most disappointing top prospects ever drafted.
my goodness, we had the stop and fucking theo riddick powered through for the first
That should have been stopped.
make a fucking tackle kendricks
GUTLESS ASSHOLES
Kendricks sucks. Such a p**sy.
riddick destroying us.
Fucking Kendricks cost us that 4th down
Kendricks sux
brooks injured too
Nobody wants to tackle. Brutal. Gutless quitters.
Why are we allowing Theo Riddick get the better of us?
Brooks out. Malcolm in slot
I swear, every time I see some defender fly by the ball carrier, it’s Mychal Freaking Kendricks missing the tackle
3rd and 8 here. Logan came to play
And Bennie Logan says “no.”
someone take riddick
SACK ON THIRD!!!
Who?
curry but created by cox
Curry created by Cox….. lol
who
Cox destroyed his guy, forced stafford into curry
Right on cue DL!
Gym Shorts is a good coach
and Bradham is not a gaping hole like Kendricks is
No, he’s just a dumbass off the field.
Only acts dumb on vacation…..
Thank god that broke the plane
He was in the endzone when he got it I think.
phew, amost downed at the 1 but called a touchback foot on the line
Whew!
Time to go get a lead.
When we win this game it will be a big character builder and the next step in Wenttz’s development
Burton with bad drop on first.
another penalty on eagles, illegal formation
1st and 15 from 15
shotgun, pass to burton, well defended, 2nd down
(incomplete)
Went z got hit in the face
OL getting walked back into Wentz’s lap last two plays
screen to DGB for 10, 3rd and 3
Screens work better with blocking. Nice move by WR though
Need to take more advantage of that DGB mismatch
Picking him back up in ff I think
So… lots of short passes, i’nt it?
heh, right on cue he hits a gorgeos 15 yarder
Wentz surgical, shotgun, 20 yard pass to matthews.
Our shiny new QB is good.
Carson Wentz is having a tea party back there sometimes.
First catch for Mathews
Nah, that weird one with the replay was him
Carson under center, quick hitter to Matthews for 8
One of these times Wentz should look to run.
Carson shotgun, tried to scramble away from sack, no gain
Loser Barbre not finishing a block again.
Thanks, guys, for the PBP
Peterson must have gotten on Wentz about his feet during halftime. Better lower mechanics in third.
got away with a bad one on that first down pass…
These announcers are terrible…..definitely the B team
Yeah, if they were the Cleveland Browns’ B team.
Surprised they sent buck and aikman to Indy v bears.
Carson shotgun, draw to sproles for 10 yards, first down!
I can only watch on RedZone, but from what I’ve seen Lane Johnson was dominating in pass pro. I’m gonna HATE losing him for some banned substance b.s.
Down around the 35 yard line
Thank you so much.
Carson shotgun, throw over the middle to Ags, broken up, 2nd down
PI and a drop.
How is it our guys can’t draw the obvious PI flag?
everyone hates Philly
That’s my biggest complaint about the ref crew. If you’re going to call ticky tack stuff, fine but do it both ways.
Carson under center, hand off to matthews for 15 yards.
Flag on PHI for holding.
What a nightmare.
This is some bullshit. Why are the flag so one sided?
F that, stupid flag
That was great downfield blocking by our WRs
Horrible call
F these refs for real!
They need to be assaulted.
seriously dude, your obsession with violence is worrying.
How do you react to being stolen from?
Short pass to Trey, 3rd and 6
Leg whip
Bull sh****t call
Agholor DROP AGAIN
That’s not a drop. Bad throw. Behind and late
Looks like it hit him in the hands to me
If it’d been thrown low and away like the commentators suggest, I can’t see Ags catching it anyway.
Even in my DVR slow mo replay. Should have been caught. The announcer is clearly a Lions fan
Do you guys watch the game? Agholor didn’t drop that it was broken up. The one before he didn’t drop. He got turned around on the release. DGBs was a border line drop with the defender making a play as well.
Carson shotgun, throw to ags, broken up, FG try coming
Sturgis good! We get the lead with 6 minutes left
Power Sturge with a 49 yard FG.
Time for a D score.
Got the lead. Not too bad considering.
2 point lead is the worst lead in football. Need a quick emphatic stop
Power STURGE
Have to make the stop. Go D.
Eagles 23 – Lions/Refs 21
Let’s make them both losers.
Kickoff out of EZ
12 penalties for 100 yards for Philly… 2 for 18 for detroit….
surprised its only 12….
Time for a ref to have some health issues.
Vegas
Right now we’re beating 2 teams, the Detroit Lions and Peter Morelli’s officiating crew.
Morelli is MVP of the game if lions win
Bears up at colts in the fourth. Have to feel bad for Andrew luck
That is the game Im stuck watching
Pass batted by Mills, almost INT by Jenkins
Screen snuffed out for TFL by Cabana boy
I sincerely hope Pederson sends tape to officiating crew or whoever does oversight in the league.
Bradham making amends
Nigel Bradham, dumbass off the field, genius on it.
Nice – get off the field
Dumpoff to Riddick for 10, 4th down
Wow,the refs didn’t bail them out.
dont challenge them
3 and out!!!
Bradham playing like Lions are TSA agents
Good to see that Schwartz’s boot remains firmly up the D’s butt.
Need 7. Put this game away.
Or a few first downs to destroy the clock.
Or both 🙂
I like your moves.
TD for the game wentzy
Is bradham the difference? if he really wasnt on the field in the first half…
Like Hicks last year
So true
Effort is the difference, but getting Bradham on for Kendricks is helpful.
sure hope he doesnt get suspended…
Yeah. crazy
good punt, not much return by sproles. Eagles take over at 20
Sprolesy out cut himself
be nice if baltimore would win
If Cincy wins I’m good
lets see if we can eat the clock here.
We have the OL, RB, and QB to run out clock. Make it happen guys.
kinda..
Paging Mr. Mathews. Mr. Mathews please.
Where’s Smallwood been all day?
Bench. But big Cox is playing
Carson shotgun screen to Huff for 2
Carson shotgun read option to matthews for 1
Barbre getting owned again.
3rd and 6
Carson shotgun, throw to matthews for 1st!
HUGE
clock running, great play
What a throw
Oh yeah!
Bradham is such an impact player
injury timeout, dunno who
balls!
The comfort level between Wentz and Matthews is something else.
wentz is a frickin baller.
Our QB is clutch!!! I’m tearing up.
I think I love Wentz lol
They’re missing one timeout already.
Chase worth it.
Where has Ertz been
Carson under center, handoff to matthews , draw for 6
TO DET
Can you say timeout instead? I see TO and think you’re on faster feed and there was a turnover.
Same! I was freaking out
The league needs to make a new rule on guys faking injuries to stop the clock. That was some BS.
i think they got charged iwth TO
They did not.
Difficult with all the legal talk about protecting players. Maybe make them sit out the drive if injured with 5:00 or less left in game???
sit out the rest of the current drive; for safety
2 more 1st downs. Let’s go.
One more first down. Can’t give them ball back
Carson under center, handoff to matthews no gain
This game has answered some questions. Get down early, come back. D starts terrible, then shuts it down. Offense comes alive just in time. Now salt it away with tough runs and clutch passes to protect the slim lead. Very satisfying.
wow did i speak too soon.
uh oh
3rd and 2
Carson under center, pitch to matthews, fumble, DET recovers.
Damn
GET MATHEWS OUT OF HERE
Oh for crying out loud.
fuck.
Redskins beating the Ravens 10-6 with 2:30 left.
GET MATHEWS OFF OF THIS TEAM NOW
CUT MATHEWS NOW
screwed, unless the dumbass STafford fucks it up again.
Of all times to fumble
Oh my. That’s supposed to happen to teams like the Lions, not us.
Why not the zone read to sproles!?!
Damn
Pathetic blocking, running, and play call.
If the TO stands…prater in a dome…we done..
Where is Detroit starting?
looks like 50
allright, D for the win.
Terrible awareness by Matthews.
he was out of bounds?
Kelce was touching it while oob
we might be saved here…
Pleas be out of bounds
ruled turnover on field tho..
I don’t think they have enough to reverse it
Touching ball & touching out of bounds – the ball is out of bounds.
Damn…was hoping these refs would get it wrong
starting at eagles 45
short pass to tate for 4
ballgame, wow
all that wentz for nothing
Game over…
Hows it looking team?
we gonna lose
3rd and 2, if we stop here, we are good i think….
stafford tackled after short gain, 3rd and 2 at the two minute warning.
Goddamn fumble
Hicks time.
Ye of little faith. Stop here. FG. Then Wentz will have it with about 90 seconds or so and all 3 timeouts. We got this.
Stop here is crucial….
Pls pls D
so we had the game and some idiot fumbles
Yup
Do we call timeouts if they get the first?
Yes
wide open tate, inside the 10
Done
Game
let em score.
got to let them score here.
Eff Matthews
Im scrolling like a fiend to find out wtf he did.. goal line fumble maybe??
3rd and 2 at mid field took a toss to the right and left the ball in his inside hand fumbled it after CB hit him
Thanks. Yuck. Cant believe it
What a let down of a game… Damn
Damn, don’t you let him in in that situation?
let them score dammit
they’re not gonna do it.
They did that all game and no calls on them.
we’re going to get this back one way or another.
Unless the penalty. Refs
Not unless refs call another PI on us
nevermind, hold em to FG
You guys think Pederson was too conservative in his playcalling?
Does this mean we can be done with Mathews? Why have Smallwood and Barner not been given the ball more?
thought he had a good game
Anyone else think Ryan Mathews gets left in Detroit if the Eagles lose this game?
I would. But that’s on Pederson. Guy hasn’t played much this season and he gets like 90 snaps today. Dumb.
No thats on Mathews for being a dumbass and being sloppy with which hand carried the ball
Veteran running back. Has to have that ball in the outside arm. Just has to.
3rd and goal from the 4
All we can hope is that this game adds to the legend of Wentz.
Wentz to Ertz Philly squirts
140 left, one timeout
stafford sacked, thank goodness no roughing.
Power Sturge is good from 50 yards out so we’re still in this.
It would be very Stugis if we get to that point and he scuffs it
Boldin was wide open
Down by 1 with 1:30 left.
Im scared
Should’ve gone for two at that last TD,lol
Suit up!
Get your head in the game Ryan
This last drive is gonna give us a clue about Wentz’s resolve.
Hope he can out play the refs. Should not have had to ask the rookie to drag us back
If the QB is 5, we already lost for sure. At least Wentz could get lucky.
Kick deep, out at 25
What happened to Smallwood today?
Here’s where we learn a ton. Cmon kid.
Carson shotgun, deep ball, INT to slay.
first INT, lost game.
Agholor with zero fight for that ball. BUM
Why???
That’s game folks.
SCUMBAGS WITH ZERO GUTS TODAY
Jason Kelce was out of bounds and touched that fumble, which should have immediately made the ball out of bounds. We’re gonna hear about that later. Morelli has been known to shave points in the past.
Yeah, what the hell was that?????
Didn’t need that, kid. Bad play.
ah well. I take full responsibility for this one.
“Slay became the better WR”…………..
That’s on Agholor. Poor effort.
yup
Risky pass, but you want your WR to be better than that IMO.
Slay with a push in the back too, but funnily the refs lost their flags
He looked lost.
The sun was so bright…
Tip your cap to Slay. Great play on the ball. Chances of getting the PI call is slim to none when both guys are playing the ball.
I tip my middle finger to him and Agholor. Slay doesn’t play for us, so he’s on the 31 team deep enemy list. F him.
Sign his a$$ next season. Lack of a quality #1 corner hurt today. Wasn’t the only issue, but sure didn’t help.
(I’m assuming he’s available of course 🙂
Well we have McKelvin spending a whole month jacking off rather than rehabbing, so he re-injured his hammy.
I asked a few weeks ago, why is Ags on this team,
Ugh, just needed the FG…
Team came out flat today, specifically the defense. I can’t help but be super disappointed by the team.
Lions scored 3 pts since Bradham came back.
And that’s fine, but they scored 21 in the first half.
I was only pointing out that the D seemed totally different with Bradham in, and no reason to expect him to be missing in future games
So Kendricks is a stealth LVP?
That’s true. As long as he isn’t a dumbass later on haha
Slay MVP
we lost and the game was pretty bad to watch. I’m not really down on Wentz, haven’t seen him enough, but currently, it’s not my impression he’ll be a star.
well then, you’re an idiot
oh yes, and fuck aghelor.
What did he do ??? Drops?? Im trying to find something. .anything out
drops and not fighting for balls that he needed to.
He just doesn’t seem all that talented.
I have to agree. I’m still waiting for the light to come on, but I’m not seeing anything that would leave me to believe it will.
ball in air .. catch ball in air…
What light needs to turn on for him to do his job. make him earn playing time
None of the other receivers can catch, so not much competition.
He’s been meh this year, which is a wild improvement over garbage last season. I see elite quickness on occasion, but far and few between. Too many meh plays.
It’s the skill level rather than the physical tools that bother me.
Good for you that you can now confirm your internal narrative.
It’s one game. Bad loss, but can’t overreact.
agreed, im not too upset, we should have won. At least they put up a fight.
terrbile loss but it was an ugly game.
Logic not allowed right now
They have to win one again first. And that can’t happen for another week so; FUCK THEM
No overreaction, but I’m still pretty disappointed. I didn’t expect them to go undefeated, but we were riding pretty high prior to this game, so it’s a long way to come down.
So Vegas had this as a tie, and it ended up essentially a tie. Crowdsourcing…
Please remember that Kelce touched that ball while OOB, which immediately made the fumble OOB and hence not recoverable. That was a 100% bad call and I wouldn’t be surprised if Morelli doesn’t get in trouble for it.
doesnt matter now
There was so much home cooking in this game that I really don’t feel bad.
Orders from Vegas.
It was clear at the time. By the way the announcers ignored it, I though maybe that wasn’t a rule for the offense. A serious case of group think. Once they decided to focus on the defensive player touching it, they didn’t even see Kelce.
Still Matthew’s fault
*Mathews.
Autocorrect doesn’t like it and Im not in the mood to fight lol
Outside of that last play, Wentz played flawless and basically kept us in the game when it would have gotten away from us.
Last play was on high school WR play to me
Morelli was snorting bath salts all morning. What a fking clownshoes-ass ref team
We’re still on the upswing, Will still be in 1st NFCE after tonight, and all the hype will die down…
Im not happy but still feel good about this team
It will bring this team back down to earth too. Just in time for Washington.
and Wsh will be riding high
Which now is a MUST win
And now we have to watch Washington win?
FUCK THE WORLD
Wait, I was working the 1st half and only had the ball game on in the background. Did Nigel get benched for the 1st half???
F!@$#@!$#@CK!!!!!
dammit, we should have been going for the FG not hte killshot. First questionable decision by Pederson
I don’t think Wentz wanted to go to Agholor there. Looked like his fourth read.
Final penalty count: 14 for 118 Philadelphia, 2 for 18 Detroit….. Thats bullshit.
It really hurt. So did not getting off of bus ready to play. Barbre was brutal. Kelce screwed up two drives by not snapping when Wentz called for it, and Agholor dropped or quit on at least 4 passes; including the last one.
And Mathews is human slime.
I don’t know why all the sudden he’s got to be the workhorse back. He doesn’t look like he has any burst when he runs, so why is he out there all game. I”m yelling at my computer because he’s not right and they keep playing him.
All of that aside, a 10 year old knows to carry the ball in his sideline hand.
Agreed. Not a huge fan of his and he’s knicked as usual. Then he pulls that rookie wrong arm B.S. I don’t give a !@#$ who’s carrying the ball @ that point. You have to know that possession of the ball is the single most important thing at that stage.
Ha! I wasn’t paying attention to the numbers. It just felt extremely biased. Hopefully the team learns from this. In these situations there is very little room for error.
Not very happy about the loss because of the BS the refs pulled today. Wentz was great all game until he showed up as a rookie on that last drive. Bad decision and even worst bad throw,
For all that that was a bad throw, it made me think of Mike Vick vs the Packers in the playoffs. Not just a rookie mistake.
You mean the ball that Cooper refused to try to catch?
Don’t think it’s on that level unless I’m thinking of the wrong pick?
In both cases, the QBs were going for too much and the WRs didn’t have enough awareness or body control to even break up the pass.
I had the same thought. Same situation, we only needed a field goal, no reason to go deep, throw ends up being less than stellar and the receiver not doing any favors and breaking it up.
I need a pound of flesh for today’s loss. I don’t give a crap who it is, but somebody’s job needs to make the ultimate sacrifice for this choke loss.
Cut Mathews and Agholor?
I’d be ok with cutting Mathews. Mostert is available.
Trade to CK for smoothie machines
Already called for Mathews to be left in Detroit . . .
SOLD
Hurricane Matthew took my power. Halfback Matthew took my 4-0. I’m sticking with that. Wasn’t able to watch thanks to the Hurricane 🙁
We are 3-1 It will be ok. They will grow from this and Mathews will be phased out. I thought Sproles ran really well today and we should have went with him
Cam Newton has suffered for their sins.
I really feel bad for his concussion sustained on a called run.
DGB with the dropped TD in the endzone, ags with the dropped td in the endzone, matthews for fumbling, kelce for killing drives with non-snaps, penelties, etc. We could’ve won that game, but we sure as shit didn’t deserve to
Saw a replay of the interception. There is a minute twenty-eight left. Why take that shot to one of the least physical receivers on the team?
Complete garbage officiating. 1 penalty on detroit all game, holding like their lives depended on it.
Saw 1 play on CBS and saw a Detroit WR holding that was right in front of a ref and went uncalled.. result was a td
Seriously, did Bradham get benched the 1st half?
I believe so.
Thanks and !@#$ it.
The Logan helmet rip hurt
I think that was Cox. Either way that led to a TD. Lots of blame to go around.
Yeah, my bad.
I thought It was Logan. cox had the sack
Wentz still looked pretty good though, no?
Yeah, he did. Took a few more chances downfield and throwing into tight windows, but overall looked solid
dude is the franchise. no question
If that was #5 or Bradford, the loss might have been worse.
With 5, you usually lost in an endless flurry of incompletions, and you kind of knew in the 1st Q how it was going to go down.
At least he killed all the worms in the soil
Very good. Can’t complain about the kid at all. Didn’t need the home run at the end. About the only knock I’d say.
I guess a day like this, it helps to have at least one star skill position player.
I dont feel the hate for Mathews. Yes, he had the fumble. But he had a pretty good game.
Mostert wouldn’t have fumbled
True
It just happens we probably would have won if he would have covered up.
I do. That was rookie BS. Can’t carry the ball in your inside arm on a late run with a lead. Not unless you’re so arm dominant that it’s the only arm you use and I’m pretty sure I’d have heard that about Mathews by now if he was.
This is were having a Julio Jones type player helps… If you’re going to heave it up to let your guy make a play, they at least have the size/dexterity to break it up if they need to. Ags is not the guy to throw a 50/50 ball too, he needs to have it out in front of him.
We’re moving on to WA…
Im gonna be angry and resentful for tonight. A Dal and NYG loss will help me feel better
fuck, now we go through the tougher stretch of the season.
Lets get ready to hear about the “Best Offensive Line in Football” or BOLF for the next 3 hours.
This was such a prototypical Eagles loss, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
yup
The 2 Roughing the Passer calls in the 1st half were bogus.

Just curious, if you were a Lions fan, would you say that was irrefutable evidence?
Honestly yea you should watch the video too

That’s just one screenshot of many
I swear if BS Dallas and fraud Dak win today………………….
Just hope the loss refocuses the team. Felt like they were smelling themselves in the 1st half. Let’s beat the Deadskins and move on.
That’s now a must win. And they may need to get another conference game that was pegged at a loss. So inexcusable today.
To be honest – the first half was terrible, we didn’t get any TDs
Except for their first TD, which was in the first half.
The good news is that the team should be awake now. We also don’t have to wait much longer than a week to get the bad taste out of our mouths on this one.
FU Cincy. Lazy bums.
This is going to be a shit day.
You know, I don’t buy this whole “now we’re awake” shit. I think this is the kind of loss (and stupid mistake) that can send a team into a skid. Plus Carson failed his first big pressure situation. Regardless of what Agholor should or shouldn’t have done it wasn’t a great throw, and it was an unnecessary throw.
I really expected more out of the guys, today, regardless of the shit officiating.
I think he made a bad mistake at the end, but if not for Wentz all game long, we wouldn’t have stayed in it. Guy was flawless all game. Never panicked even when they were down before the go ahead FG.
I think Wentz was great all day, aside from a couple throws, but I think this game was a real confidence rattler.
I’m not even certain I’d say it was a flat out mistake. We didn’t need the homerun, but the pass was there. Corner just made a better play than the receiver.
I also don’t know for sure if Wentz did that on his own or if Pederson called for it. My gut is, ‘didn’t need that,’ but if he’d have caught it, we win. Sucks, but I’m not knocking Wentz much for it.
I thought the throw was poor, he lead Agholor too far outside, which is the shoulder the corner had. He needed to lead him more upfield where he could use his speed. Ags is not going to outjump guys.
Led the corner away from the safety. Made it a one on one. If he throws it inside, Agholor gets squeezed and it’s an even more likely pick.
Edit: Led Agholor*
It’s debatable, but I don’t think it’s a horrible decision. They expect a bunch of conservative 10 yarders. The only issue is that I don’t really like any of WRs in that situation. If you get a long catch, you probably win. If you throw a long INT or you run out of time after a few gimmes, you lose either way.
“You play to win the game.”
Im sorry 1st pressure situation?
Started a game in NFL 8 days after named starter
MNF in Chicago
Home against a true Superbowl contender
Lets not forget he brought us back into the game in the 1st place.
First 4th quarter game on the line less than 2 minutes to go drive. That’s the money situation, and honestly I expected him to get us the win.
At least move the ball
I put it on Ags to even try and make a catch. The Db slighlty pushed him and he reacted like this was a no contact game
Problem is that his receivers can’t make plays for him. I bet if that was a receiver on another team he comes down with the catch.
I’m not so sure, he threw it to Ags outside shoulder where the DB was, I think it was probably incomplete with a better/bigger reciever.
Probably if it was DGB, he can’t catch either.
Should have been incomplete worse case.
Wentz will get coached and I still think this will just be a bump in the road long term
I’m mad, but not like years past. It’s because our QB is legit and did almost everything right today outside of that last pass. I feel good moving forward. Defense looks like it got its act together in the 2nd half. If this team plays 60 minutes, I think they can play with anyone. The defense only played a half, and the whole team seemed to play like they had a hangover from their week off.
Depends on what the coaching staff does. They need to get the guys back onto the practice field and get them to move on. Can’t let this loss become another one in Washington.
I should add that the officiating was so 1 sided and so bad that game that it is the kind of thing that actually makes me a little paranoid that the NFL might be trying to fix games. Looooots of money was on the Eagles this week, and then coincidentally the officials hosed the Eagles all game long. Stop fucking with my mind Morelli, you fucking asshole.
After the browns-redskins fumble and cam jumping away from his own fumble in the super bowl, I’ve honestly started wondering the same thing.
Speaking of Cam, I’ve seen other plays from him that I swear we’re attempts to keep score low. Billions of dollars involved. It’s a reality.
It’s a huge leap to say the players would be in on it rather than just the refs, but it would make a lot of bonehead plays make more sense. I told my father about this who’s a bears fan and when cutler stared down the linebacker before throwing that pick in week 2 we both texted each other at the same time wondering if just maybe he does it on purpose.
He’s not really capable of figuring out something that complex or overt.
60% on the Eagles is not a huge disparity. Ain’t no Tyson/Buster Douglas.
I heard over 80% earlier in the week.
Schwartz got out coached in the first half. Didn’t adjust to quick enough. Kendricks missed multiple tackles. Not sure what to make of all the penalties. Bye week or lopsided officiating.
Offense/Wentz looked ok. Needed TD one Stafford fumble possession. Didn’t like Wentz’ bomb on first play of last drive.
Lots to learn from in this ugly loss.
Gotta go for it, Cincy. Punt gets you 20yrds most likely. Too long for FG. Go for it.
I understand why the Eagles felt the need to bench Bradham for the 1st half after his 2nd bit of idiocy, but !@#$ they looked bad w/o him. More proof that Kendricks just ain’t that good.
Should have just fined him
I really didn’t expect him to be anywhere close to this good. Impressed with his play. Too bad he’s got a 2cent brain.
Hey Cincy!!!! See that guy, 21? TACKLE HIM.
OPI please
Meh, I’ll take it.
Pac Man needed to catch that.
Well I guess the Giants could still lose and salvage this day.
