Halftime – PHI 11, MIN 3

Posted: October 23rd, 2016 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 376 Comments »

What a strange game.

Both teams do a great job of protecting the ball. So of course they combine for 6 turnovers in the 1st half. Each team has roughed the kicker. There have been dropped passes. Missed open receivers. PI calls that didn’t get made. A KOR for a TD. Oh yeah, and a 2-point conversion.

But other than that, nothing happened.

Carson Wentz is not having a good day. He’s just a bit sloppy and his accuracy has been off.

The Eagles defense has been outstanding. This is the kind of bounce-back game we needed to see from Jim Schwartz and his guys. They are playing the run well and really beating up Sam Bradford.

Josh Huff made the play of the game when he returned a KO for a score.

We’ll find out if the Eagles can win ugly. Penalties are down, which is good. And the Eagles aren’t playing from behind. That helps a lot.

    They gotta make sure they don’t hit Bradford too hard. He’s our 12th man on D today. We need him out there.

    Thank God Joe Webb is the backup for the Panthers now

  3. 3 shah8 said at 3:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    It’s pity he isn’t backing up some of the more QB desperate teams. Kevin Hogan is attempting to emulate his spirit, though!

  4. 4 Dave said at 3:15 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I dunno, he’s probably thinking it’s better to hold a clipboard behind Cam than gets physically and mentally crushed in Cleveland.

  5. 5 Mitchell said at 2:50 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Who would have thought that Huff of all people would have a td in this game?!

  6. 6 Dave said at 2:52 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    honestly, he is a threat every time he touches the ball…as long as he’s not fumbling that is.

  7. 7 A_T_G said at 2:55 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    If Philly weather is like Reading area, the wind is tough right now. Not just hard, but gusty and unpredictable.

  8. 8 MaybePederson said at 2:56 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    maybe explains some of the off throws, but i’d think with wentz’s arm strength he’d be able to cut through that some

  9. 9 Dave said at 3:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Mike Vick would disagree

  10. 10 A_T_G said at 3:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Yeah, me too. Pinpoint accuracy will be a lot to ask today, though.

  11. 11 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:02 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Bradford has had a few nice throws that had (Air Yards)

  12. 12 Corry said at 2:56 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Power Sturge split the uprights on the kick off I think.

  13. 13 Corry said at 2:57 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Jordan HIcks with the TFL.

  14. 14 scratcherk said at 2:58 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Well disguised blitz there. Never showed until after the snap.

    Half a sack to the #76 Vikings.

    i dunno why this guy doesnt just type in his password himself.

  24. 24 meteorologist said at 3:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    And if there are ongoing breaches why does everyone stop and stare?

  25. 25 Corry said at 3:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Because the commercial woulnd’t be nearly as entertaining.

  26. 26 Crus57 said at 3:01 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    he’s also not smart enough to say “of course I don’t hate my job, that’s why nobody will guess that simple password.”

    Sequel

    Sproles just there to watch the ball bounce on punts now

    Run the damn ball, Andy. Wear them down.

    crap.

  38. 38 scratcherk said at 3:04 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Brooks injured

  39. 39 A_T_G said at 3:07 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    This is the problem with hiring free agents in pairs. One Brooks goes down and the other follows.

  40. 40 John Galt said at 3:04 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Oh no. Wrong position

  41. 41 Corry said at 3:04 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Son of a bitch.

  42. 42 Aaron said at 3:05 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    so what he wasnt that good

  43. 43 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:05 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Why couldn’t it be Kelce

  44. 44 CrackSammich said at 3:05 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    This is about to get a whole lot sloppier.

  45. 45 John Galt said at 3:05 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    That’s not possible

  46. 46 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Whatever. Wentz is great or he will be. the rest of the offense is seriously lacking and Brooks hasn’t really been that good so far

  47. 47 Crus57 said at 3:05 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Good news is Brooks’ foot wasn’t planted in the ground, so it might just be a small sprain not snappage.

  48. 48 Corry said at 3:05 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    WElp, that puts Wiz on the field.

  49. 49 scratcherk said at 3:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    could be worse i guess.

  50. 50 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Iz Wiz?

  51. 51 Nick C said at 3:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I’d rather a Wiz Wit

  52. 52 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Hope he plays like he wants to be on the fucking field

  53. 53 scratcherk said at 3:07 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    sooo what happened to brooks…

  54. 54 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:07 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

  58. 58 scratcherk said at 3:07 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    THANK YOU>>>>

  59. 59 Corry said at 3:08 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    LOL, yeah tackling teh guy BEFORE the ball getting there is not allowed.

  60. 60 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:08 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Glad the CB made that so blatant, even these refs couldn’t refuse to call it.

  61. 61 scratcherk said at 3:08 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    they only call the most freakin obvious PI

  62. 62 Corry said at 3:08 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    To be perfectly honest, as much as it’s happening in all levels of football right now, I’d prefer that.

  63. 63 CrackSammich said at 3:08 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Washington not looking great in their game. currently losing, but a one score game.

  64. 64 scratcherk said at 3:08 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    of course flag..

  65. 65 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:09 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Why can’t our WR FIGHT for the ball… ever

  66. 66 scratcherk said at 3:09 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    thank goodness.

  70. 70 John Galt said at 3:10 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    He should drop every snap

  71. 71 scratcherk said at 3:10 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    nice he wentzed it

  72. 72 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:10 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    We need to run that fumble-snap-dump-to-Sproles more often. Its our best play.

  73. 73 Spooonius said at 3:10 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    he is the best bobbled snap qb of all time. it needs to be in the playbook. Wentz saves Kelce’s ass over and over

  74. 74 Crus57 said at 3:11 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Romo is still the king of that. snapped 20yds deep, he’d make a 40yd pass.

  75. 75 xeynon said at 3:10 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Why does Wentz have butterfingers all of a sudden?

  76. 76 anon said at 3:11 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    those have been some of his bet plays

  77. 77 CrackSammich said at 3:10 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Wiz looking alright out there.

  78. 78 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:10 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    DGB all day in the rz.

  94. 94 John Galt said at 3:15 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    It’s too obvious. We should run sproles on inside zone.

    Oh yeah, chip is in SF…thank God

  95. 95 Corry said at 3:13 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    More DGB please.

  96. 96 shah8 said at 3:14 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    This game was a lot of what I was expecting in terms of how Sam Bradford is worse than Teddy Bridgewater. Hasn’t happened this year until this game…

  97. 97 anon said at 3:15 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    how is he worse? no RT, no LT, no AP against best DL in the league

  98. 98 shah8 said at 3:23 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Bridgewater is far more capable of fixing bad situations. Bradford does as well, but he mainly does it by making really good throws under pressure. The bad WR play is hindering that aspect, and the bad line is highlighting his lack of agility…

  99. 99 anon said at 4:22 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    yeah agree, if you like statuesque qbs you should like bradford, he finds open guys makes safe accurate passes. he’s not a gamer, won’t extends plays, needs an oline and skill players w/ skill

  100. 100 John Galt said at 3:16 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Just think if they still had joe Webb. 19-0 for sho

  101. 101 xeynon said at 3:17 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    The rest of the league would just forfeit all their games, rather than go up against and be destroyed by the unstoppable force of nature known as Joe Webb.

  106. 106 xeynon said at 3:14 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I hope DGB can be our Plaxico, just not as dumb off the field.

  107. 107 jmh said at 3:14 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    We’ll give it a shot.

  108. 108 xeynon said at 3:15 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Let’s just hope we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot.

  109. 109 A_T_G said at 3:15 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    That was a nice long drive. Now the D is rested and Minny has to play catch up. I’d hate to be Bradford right now.

  113. 113 John Galt said at 3:16 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Shady out with his yearly hammy. Josh Norman out with concussion

  114. 114 Spooonius said at 3:18 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I like that on the TD pass Kendricks hit DGB at the one, but couldn’t keep him out of the endzone. I hope DGB gets close to his full potential.

  115. 115 Corry said at 3:18 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Hitting people and not being able to stop them must run in the family.

  116. 116 Dave said at 3:18 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Our Kendricks would have let him walk in the endzone

    No, he has his own reality show. Didn’t watch it but it was on the Philly news earlier this season

  130. 130 Dave said at 3:20 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    ANd his brother after his reality dating show this year.

  131. 131 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:21 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I don’t follow reality tv thankfully. Not even hard knocks

  132. 132 Crus57 said at 3:19 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Underrated that DGB knew where both the goal line and the likely defenders were on his TD, made the right move once he secured the ball. Lots of times we’ve seen Eagles WRs make a catch there and get tackled without getting any closer to the GL.

  133. 133 scratcherk said at 3:19 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    shoudl have been sacked three times there

  134. 134 Spooonius said at 3:20 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Hicks is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!

  135. 135 SeanofDead said at 3:21 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    The return of Jordan Hicks

    holy shit, bradford is 11/25

  140. 140 Corry said at 3:21 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Yeah just don’t look at Wentz’s stats.

  141. 141 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:22 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    TD makes it a little better

  142. 142 scratcherk said at 3:22 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    just put that TD to DGB on loop. That is ALL that happened this game……

  143. 143 xeynon said at 3:23 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Wentz is a rookie going up against the best defense in the league. Bradford is a veteran playing a defense that’s pretty good but not on that level.

  144. 144 Spooonius said at 3:22 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    The look on his face as they went to commercial was very familiar. So glad he’s wearing purple and not green

    only given up a max of 16pts so far this season, so we’re already ahead of that.

    This ones over player

  151. 151 SteveH said at 3:22 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    They had the 30th – 32nd ranked offense across all categories coming into the game so yeah… The D was really carrying them hard.

  152. 152 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:23 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    If they get up on you and can unleash that pass rush, ignore the run, you are in big, big trouble.

  153. 153 Aaron said at 3:23 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    not over yet

  154. 154 Will Ft. Daft Punk said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    We have 10 offensive points. lets cool it.

  155. 155 ChoTime said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Said Detroit when they played us. 🙂

  156. 156 Corry said at 3:23 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    They called a time out for that?

  157. 157 John Galt said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Penetration from Big Cox

  158. 158 Spooonius said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Cox in the hole!!!

  159. 159 scratcherk said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Oh theres my cox.

  160. 160 xeynon said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Cox just devoured that draw play.

  161. 161 CrackSammich said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    omg cox.

  162. 162 A_T_G said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Jordan Hicks makes it harder to completely hate Chip Kelly. Can we all agree to pretend that Chip drafted Kendricks and Hicks was here all along?

  163. 163 Spooonius said at 3:25 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    agreed.

  164. 164 scratcherk said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    you have got to be kidding.

  165. 165 John Galt said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    You have to be kidding me

  166. 166 Aaron said at 3:24 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    typical eagles

  167. 167 Corry said at 3:25 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Welp there’s the obligatory 3rd and long conversion.

  168. 168 John Galt said at 3:26 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Carroll takes awful angles

  169. 169 scratcherk said at 3:26 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    at least he made contain

  170. 170 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:27 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    This, thats his job not really tackling unless absolutely needed. Better to funnel it to the pursuit

  171. 171 Corry said at 3:26 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    It’s guaranteed he’ll give up the outside.

  172. 172 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:26 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Credit Norv Turner. They’re not forcing anything. Playing patient.

  173. 173 xeynon said at 3:26 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Come on guys. Their entire offense this drive has consisted of draw plays. You should see it coming by now.

  174. 174 scratcherk said at 3:26 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Looks short.

  175. 175 ChoTime said at 3:27 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Asiata’s doing pretty well for the guy someone said doesn’t do anything well.

  176. 176 xeynon said at 3:29 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    He had one good run because the defense completely abandoned the idea of playing the run. Still not impressed.

  177. 177 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:27 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Love that bradford even gets hit on a 1 yard throw

  178. 178 Corry said at 3:28 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Um, we don’t really have enough corners.

  179. 179 Aaron said at 3:28 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    jalen mills hurt, wasnt good anyway

  180. 180 scratcherk said at 3:28 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    i thought he was fine for a rookie

  181. 181 Aaron said at 3:29 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    you thought wrong

  182. 182 scratcherk said at 3:30 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    7th round rookie man. he’s doing fine…

  183. 183 xeynon said at 3:31 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Could you cool it dude? Your comments have been kind of Philly.com-esque during this game.

  184. 184 Aaron said at 3:32 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    because I dont agree with you doesnt mean I need to cool it francis

  185. 185 xeynon said at 3:36 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    The problem isn’t that you disagree with me, it’s that you’re being needlessly nasty and insulting.

  186. 186 SteveH said at 3:28 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    That 3rd and 13 draw for the first down really hurt. Keep em out of the endzone guys.

  187. 187 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:28 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    we seem to have trouble with those…. weird

  188. 188 CrackSammich said at 3:28 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    CJ Smith era?

  189. 189 Corry said at 3:29 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    INactive today.

  190. 190 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:29 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Asante time

  191. 191 A_T_G said at 3:29 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Mills body language made me think cramps.

  192. 192 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:29 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Motrin being prescribed

  193. 193 CrackSammich said at 3:30 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    We’re down two CBs. Easy play call right? …Wildcat?

  194. 194 scratcherk said at 3:31 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    vajayjay about to have another 200 yard game

  195. 195 A_T_G said at 3:31 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    McKinnon with his best OBJ impression.

  196. 196 scratcherk said at 3:32 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Come on 3rd and short!

  197. 197 John Galt said at 3:32 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    4 downs anyway

  198. 198 Dave said at 3:33 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Your wish is their command

  199. 199 Corry said at 3:33 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    That was actually a generous spot. Looks like he fell down.

  200. 200 John Galt said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    No

  201. 201 scratcherk said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    dont think so.

  202. 202 scratcherk said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    but they;ll prob give it to them

  203. 203 Spooonius said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    This will be BS if they give them a first.

  204. 204 scratcherk said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    ITS SHORT!

  205. 205 John Galt said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    they needs the stripe

  206. 206 Aaron said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    can stop a 4th and short, but 3rd and forever is a gimme

  207. 207 xeynon said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Might be worth a challenge if they give it to them.

  208. 208 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    YEEEEAAAAARRRRRGGGH!!!!!!!

  209. 209 scratcherk said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    the spot was short.

  210. 210 Spooonius said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    woooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  211. 211 Corry said at 3:34 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

  212. 212 scratcherk said at 3:35 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    ok boys, run the clock.

  213. 213 Dave said at 3:35 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I should get ff points for a 4th down stop, sitting at 23 points

  214. 214 Corry said at 3:35 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Probably no way to challenge that either.

  215. 215 ChoTime said at 3:35 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Dramatic!

  216. 216 John Galt said at 3:35 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Skins have the ball down 3 with 5 minutes. Own 30

  217. 217 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:36 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Andy. You will run the ball.
    Ryan Matthews, you will not fumble.

    Understood, boys?

    Good.

  218. 218 Corry said at 3:36 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Gym Shorts got his guys ready to play today.

  221. 221 A_T_G said at 3:37 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    That 4th down stop was so huge.

  222. 222 Aaron said at 3:37 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    dont fumble here wentz

  223. 223 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:38 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Why is Jason Peters not in?

  224. 224 CrackSammich said at 3:39 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    biceps injury

  225. 225 John Galt said at 3:38 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    PETERS out

  226. 226 scratcherk said at 3:38 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    personal foul on def?

  227. 227 scratcherk said at 3:38 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    darn

  228. 228 xeynon said at 3:39 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    JP is out? If there are two positions we can’t afford injuries, they are OL and CB. And that’s where we’re getting them.

  229. 229 Corry said at 3:39 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I didn’t like that series at all.

  230. 230 ChoTime said at 3:39 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    That was some ugly shit.

  231. 231 Aaron said at 3:39 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    JP looks like the “bumble”

  232. 232 scratcherk said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    up 15, im ok with it.

  233. 233 Howie Littlefinger said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Too conservative for me should have went play action death nail

  234. 234 John Galt said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Wow

  235. 235 scratcherk said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    and thats why i’m good with that.

  236. 236 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    The football gods are with us today.

  237. 237 John Galt said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    They sure owed us

  238. 238 Corry said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I didn’t like that series, but that was a brilliant call by Dave Fipp. Force the fumble and recover the ball at the 50. Genius.

  239. 239 ChoTime said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    All Hail Fipp!

  240. 240 CrackSammich said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    fucking sloppy lol

    Eagles defense and special teams are on fire

  244. 244 Flyineagle45 said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    What happened to Peters

  245. 245 xeynon said at 3:40 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Special teams is winning us this game. Game ball to Dave Fipp if we hold on.

  246. 246 scratcherk said at 3:41 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    SPROLESSYYYYY

  247. 247 shah8 said at 3:41 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    That should be game.

  248. 248 scratcherk said at 3:41 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    quiet u

  249. 249 xeynon said at 3:41 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Hell of a downfield block by Huff on that play.

  250. 250 Corry said at 3:41 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Jason Kelce with a positive play and no penalty. Will wonders never cease.

  251. 251 ChoTime said at 3:41 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    It is weird. Reminds me a bit of 2014 Eagles. We scraped our way to 10 wins through special teams and defensive scores.

  252. 252 John Galt said at 3:42 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    FG is huge here

  253. 253 Corry said at 3:43 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    First down!

  254. 254 scratcherk said at 3:43 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    FD!

  255. 255 ChoTime said at 3:43 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    The fans were right. Giving to Sproles every time is a win!

  256. 256 scratcherk said at 3:44 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    huff = mvp

  257. 257 ChoTime said at 3:44 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Dude is a freak!

  258. 258 xeynon said at 3:44 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    They need to run more of these jet sweeps and bubble screens to Huff.

  259. 259 scratcherk said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    yea lets not do that anymore with wentz.

  260. 260 Corry said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Another Random Observation: good adjustment by Doug Pederson to get his QB calmed down.

  261. 261 anon said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    screen left, screen right.

  262. 262 Corry said at 3:46 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Yup, but if it settles him down, it’s all good.

  263. 263 xeynon said at 3:50 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I think Pederson has coached a very good game.

  264. 264 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Good choice, Wentz. No sense in taking a beating, hit the turf when its not there.

  265. 265 CrackSammich said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    oops

  266. 266 Aaron said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    wentz is so off today, runt the ball you moron

  267. 267 CrackSammich said at 3:46 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    lol. given Sproles size, that’s an apt typo.

  268. 268 John Galt said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Run the ball. Kick a FG

  269. 269 scratcherk said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    WAS leading now.

  270. 270 anon said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

  271. 271 Checkdown Charlie said at 3:45 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Peters has bad bicep

  272. 272 scratcherk said at 3:46 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    go for it for the kill?

  273. 273 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:46 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Take the points. Take the figgie.

  274. 274 John Galt said at 3:46 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Kick a FG

  276. 276 Corry said at 3:46 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    FG is the smart play….but i really wanted a kill shot.

  277. 277 John Galt said at 3:47 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Det at midfield 50secs left

  278. 278 John Galt said at 3:49 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    AT the 15 with 30 secs. Down 4

  279. 279 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:48 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    So, we’re a home (3-0) team, but not a road team (1-2)?

  280. 280 John Galt said at 3:48 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I like winning at home but we need at least one of the next two weeks roadies

  281. 281 A_T_G said at 3:49 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Of course, I am not opposed to winning on the road.

  282. 282 Corry said at 3:48 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Under Chip we were an away team, no?

  283. 283 ChoTime said at 3:48 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Now we get to enjoy the spectacle of Checkdown Charlie trying to move the ball down the field. Get your stickum ready, Malcolm!

  284. 284 Corry said at 3:50 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Power Sturge has been killing the football on the kickoffs today.

    nice, im behind on directv online

  289. 289 xeynon said at 3:54 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Nice. I never used to hate the Redskins as much as the Giants or Cowboys but living in the DC metro has changed that.

  294. 294 John Galt said at 3:54 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Hard to Watch the prevent but whatever

  295. 295 Dragon_Eagle said at 3:54 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    If Sammy is going to check his way all the way down the field. Fine. Kill the clock yourself.

  296. 296 ChoTime said at 3:54 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I don’t like prevent against Sam. He can hit easy short passes all day.

  297. 297 xeynon said at 3:56 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    With only 5 minutes left in the game he can complete as many checkdowns as he wants.

  298. 298 Corry said at 3:54 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Vikings seem super nonchalant getting to the line.

  299. 299 Spooonius said at 3:55 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    They look done.

  300. 300 John Galt said at 3:55 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Good win here boys

  301. 301 xeynon said at 3:56 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    After two ugly losses I’ll take an ugly win.

  302. 302 John Galt said at 3:56 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    72 dolphins gathering a serious we speak for some bubbly…

  303. 303 ChoTime said at 3:57 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    They should have kept that on ice with this Vikings team carrying the torch.

  304. 304 John Galt said at 3:58 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    They only suck because we beat them. If the Cowboys would have beat them they would have been the 85 bears

  305. 305 ChoTime said at 3:58 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I actually called this game. They’re just coming back to the mean. Good D, though.

    ….really Mathews?

    Oh for crying out loud.

  311. 311 Checkdown Charlie said at 3:59 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Take a seat Mathews

  312. 312 xeynon said at 3:59 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Fucking Mathews. You had ONE JOB.

  313. 313 Aaron said at 3:59 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    i would cut his piece of crap butt right after the game

  314. 314 Corry said at 3:59 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    At some point, you need to start seeing more Barner and Smallwood.

  315. 315 FairOaks said at 3:59 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Ball in the wrong hand again? Just sit him when running the clock…

  316. 316 Corry said at 4:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    NO i actually think he had it in the correct hand, he just didn’t hold on to it.

  317. 317 Crus57 said at 4:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Ball literally rolls underneath him on the ground, and he still doesn’t come up with it

  318. 318 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Graham with another strip sack.

  319. 319 Spooonius said at 4:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Honestly, I just don’t think it’s necessary to play Mathews. He is always a fumble waiting to happen.

  320. 320 Corry said at 4:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Nolan Carroll sucks at tackling.

  321. 321 Spooonius said at 4:01 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Strip sack party!!!!!!

  322. 322 Howie Littlefinger said at 4:01 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    So we know who the closer isn’t

    Smallwood Wentz Beau Allen… Anyone but Mathews

  323. 323 Corry said at 4:02 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Shockingly Sleevie Wonder-Checkdown isn’t the guy you want to bring you back in a football game.

    Only an IDIOT wouldn’t see that SAM has turned the Corner in his carere!

    Aikman talking Cowboy ish

  326. 326 Aaron said at 4:03 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    aikman actually talks positve about the eagles more than he does the cowboys

  327. 327 Spooonius said at 4:04 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Yeah, he’s not bad.

  328. 328 Dave said at 4:03 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Eagles defense now up to 27 points for me.

  329. 329 SeanofDead said at 4:03 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    1st career sack for Steven Means

  330. 330 FairOaks said at 4:03 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I think their receiver just fought to stay in bounds while being tackled on the sideline

  331. 331 Spooonius said at 4:04 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    It looked like that to me too. He was right there, all he had to do was fall out of bounds.

  332. 332 xeynon said at 4:03 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Oh for Chrissake can’t we just enjoy this win without having to listen to -~Buck~ Brenneman and Aikman jerking off the Cowboys?

  333. 333 Crus57 said at 4:03 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    It’s not Buck, thank god for baseball.

  334. 334 John Galt said at 4:04 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    It’s not buck. But they are jerkoffs for sure

  335. 335 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:04 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    So, we had 4 turnovers and will still win. Believe that?

  337. 337 Insomniac said at 4:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    The Minnesota Checkdowns.

  338. 338 xeynon said at 4:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    They had four too.

  339. 339 A_T_G said at 4:05 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    When the refs call penalties on both teams, we do pretty well.

  340. 340 Corry said at 4:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Minne got an unsportsmanlike conduct as well.

  341. 341 ChoTime said at 4:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Man, I’m glad Sleeves isn’t our QB anymore.

  342. 342 Dave said at 4:07 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    That’s what Brandon Graham said too

  343. 343 Spooonius said at 4:07 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    He’s just good enough to be frustrating.

  344. 344 ChoTime said at 4:09 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Bottom 3rd-tier starter with top 3rd-tier arm. A tease on “potential.”

  345. 345 John Galt said at 4:06 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    You can’t underestimate the fantasy impact of Sleeves’ RBs in a PPR format

  346. 346 Allen3000 said at 4:07 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Ugly day for offense, but magnificent for Defense, and to a leeser extent, special teams too. More importantly, great team win.

  347. 347 xeynon said at 4:09 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I expected an ugly game from the offense. Minny’s D is really good.

  348. 348 ChoTime said at 4:10 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Yeah. But they’re going to have to get their shit together.

  349. 349 xeynon said at 4:12 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Without question. But will be easier against a mediocre defense like Dallas’.

  350. 350 ChoTime said at 4:12 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Those games will be epic.

  351. 351 The original AG said at 4:13 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    They better because Dallas’s offense is good.

  352. 352 FairOaks said at 4:07 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Trent Williams had to be helped off the field on a desperation play at end of game… and josh Norman with a concussion

  353. 353 xeynon said at 4:07 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Question: where does Bradford rank among the all-time great garbage time QBs?

  354. 354 John Galt said at 4:08 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Ridiculous

  355. 355 A_T_G said at 4:08 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    30+ yards to the line to gain and he is still throwing check downs. Good riddance.

  356. 356 Checkdown Charlie said at 4:08 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Yeah, but with 6 minutes left, you gotta try to push it. Now? No.

    after 4 sack fumbles and down 20pts? nah. sammy was terrible this game, both qbs were. agree sammy is not rothlesburger.

  362. 362 ChoTime said at 4:12 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    He was in a tough situation, but top QBs give you a chance to win in tough situations. He’s not a top QB.

  363. 363 Will Ft. Daft Punk said at 4:20 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    There are only a few of those.

  364. 364 SteveH said at 4:11 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Kind of annoyed Sam got garbage time stats but whatever.

  365. 365 Corry said at 4:11 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Victory formation. Such a good thing to see after the last 2 weeks.

  366. 366 oreofestar said at 4:14 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Interesting that NFC East is the only division with all teams over 500, surprisingly tough division this year

  367. 367 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:15 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    And with victories over Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Green Bay, and Minnesota. Not cheap wins.

    Ugly game, but great win. staying above .500 is huge, let’s build up plenty of hype to get let down during dallas week

    Eric Rowe with a long PI play- against the offensive player.

  371. 371 Crus57 said at 5:00 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    A couple of thoughts:
    Wentz’s worst game this season, and possibly the Eagles biggest win? Good sign that we aren’t dependent on the rookie to bail us out, unlike some other teams.

    Viking’s D didn’t have a sack, despite us starting Big V and with Peters not playing a lot of the 4th quarter. It’ll be very interesting to see how V looked on tape.

  372. 372 A_T_G said at 5:21 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    I liked that Wentz and Pederson both seemed to adjust to reality after a rough start, whether that was the quality of their secondary, the influence of the wind, or the randomness of good/bad days. We have suffered long under guys that were unwilling to do that.

  376. 376 RC5000 said at 5:25 PM on October 23rd, 2016:

    Eric Rowe started today. Heyward-Bey beat him on TD. We can cuss about giving up on him but there are conditions on pick:

    According to a source, the fourth-round pick will become a third-round pick if Rowe plays in at least 50 percent of the Patriots defensive snaps either in 2016 or 2017, which feels like an attainable figure.
