#Eagles Inactives: WR Turner, CB Gratz, RB Sproles, DE Means, OL Vaitai, OL Barbre, DT Hart. Wisniewski starts at LG, Seumalo starts at RT
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) December 18, 2016
Isaac Seumalo will be your starting RT, the Eagles 4th of the season. Wow.
Some are debating Bryce Treggs playing over Paul Turner. What’s the point? Turner is more fun to cheer for because he’s the blue collar guy and underdog. Treggs has more speed and talent, but he’s not been very productive this year.
More important thing to focus on is the OL. What happens if anyone gets hurt? Dillon Gordon would make his NFL debut at OT. Josh Andrews would play at G/C.
INACTIVES:
CB Jimmy Smith
RB Javorius Allen
ILB Lamar Louis
G/C Ryan Jensen
G/T Alex Lewis
TE Crockett Gillmore
OLB Za'Darius Smith— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) December 18, 2016
No Smith means the Ravens secondary is vulnerable. Can the Eagles WRs take advantage? I wouldn’t bet your mortgage payment on it, but we’ll see what happens.
This could be an ugly game. This could be a fun game. Don’t really have a great feel for it.
Let’s see what happens…
_
first, TATE, RnR, suckas, lol, woooooooooooooooooooo, in my best ric flair yell, anyway, I cant root for the eagles to lose even if it means a better draft pick, go eagles, you bunch of losers
Haha, I wonder if you’ll come back after the pretender cowboys get bounced in their first playoff game.
cowboy hater thats me, but the eagles stink this year, you pathetic loser
Dallas sucks.
Bryce Treggs has more speed, he does not have more talent. Watch his route running, his adjustments to the ball, his ability to track the ball and his approach to catching the ball. He is not a talented WR. He’s a small, untalented WR that has a bunch of speed. Paul Turner is a talented WR who simply doesn’t have any one measurable that makes him special on paper. He’s 5’10 and runs a 4.5. But, he’s far and away the more talented WR.
seen that before – bad technique – pick
quiet in here – we are playing right now right?
Well, we’re playing something. Not sure its football.
They stopped playing weeks ago.
you are a pathetic loser
Yes, lets run directly behind the 4th string right tackle on the 1st two plays of the game. Pederson ball….
Wentz! off the back foot, directly to Baltimore. WTF do they do in practice all week?
that play was just crappy all around. Wentz couldn’t see or step into the throw, but he has to get out of the pocket and throw it away
He couldn’t see he’s 6’5 or something like that. He just isn’t that great sir.
That was a really bad interception…
They should probably bring in some former QBs to coach him. Oh wait…
He’s so overrated
Pederson is. Yes. Wentz might be. Hopefully not though, as that would mean mediocrity or worse for the next 5-7 years. Might get that anyway with Dougie simpleton
They both are. Knee jerk, Lazy coaching search will get you that.
Been a TON of those lately from him…
Jesus. Wentz is not that great…. Not drinking the Kool aid with this kid.
Basically just the next kevin kolb, right?
Probably
Kessler is better than him
This is a shit start. Might be gone by halftime…
Rookie or not, Wentz has made too many mistakes lately. Even last week which overall was a good game, he threw an extremely costly INT. Those need to end.
But… he’s a “gunslinger.”
Yeah, tough to tell if its him or just part of the general team regression under Pederson.
urine idiot
No thanks. I’m not going to pee on you, no matter how much you beg. Try dallas, I hear they like their golden showers down there.
Curry has been invisible this year
You know what is sad?
I can’t even get angry anymore.
You wait all off season and then……
Feed Ags. He’s on fire.
The defense really has no excuse. Plenty of talent.
I am darthbanners father
HOW IDIOTIC IS DOUG PEDERSON TO KEEP CALLING SCREEN PASSES TO JORDAN MATTHEWS!?
I blame Putin
surprised no block in the back call
That was nice
happy feet by wentz.
He’s no winston….
not blaming him, i would have no confidence in this oline either
yeah either throw it away or get down
Nice punt, Jon. Our best play yet.
Wentz WTF
This team…. is laughable
lets just tee up and blitz the fuck out of them. theyre going to score anyway, might as well get in their heads
lol. This team is terrible. The offense is so impotent.
OH MY GOD
YOU FUCKING IDIOT
you need to specify.
Jameis can play that way, Wentz.
You can’t.
Lmao crappiest spin move ever. I question his athleticism. When he scrambles it just looks sloppy. Big Ben might not have his speed but def a better scrambler.
I used to think that before like 2 weeks ago. I think he’s improving as a scrambler
OMG….Throw the ball away dude…
Our future looks so bright………
i think it does.
Well you’re a glass half full kinda guy
might as well be.
Well keepr drinking the kool-aid to the half cup mark. I’ll continue to see the proof that’s in the pudding.
the parity in the NFL is unmatched in any other sport. any team (other than the browns) can make the jump any year
Summer is coming
Ha I see what you did there
Seeing less of Barwin! Graham playing RDE and Curry LDE!
Raven OC Marty Mohrenwig may keep the Eagles in this game
Well, he does owe us for 5+ years of keeping the Eagles out of games. Although I do miss that bastard, but maybe thats just because we used to be good.
Good defensive sequence that time.
shimmied out of that.
Did I see that wrong? Did he have two wide open targets to either side of the field?
Maybe. Looked liked coverage dropped off when they saw Wentz scramble.
maybe with Aghalor but 81 looked to come open pretty quickly. No idea.
Need the All-22 to see the timing and coverage better.
also not sure about safety help on jordan’s side
Wentz’ level of play is very low right now. Totally panicked when he saw Suggs coming in free…
I wonder how much he’s actually able to see in terms of play-speed right now….
This is a banner day for you, no? Caucasian QB shaky behind a makeshift line. You’ll be able to make sweeping pronouncements about his career all day.
Eh? I hate bad white quarterbacks that gets too many chances and think they ruin the NFL. I don’t really want to celebrate Wentz being a bad QB, because I will be watching this dude. I’d hope he will be at least serviceable and not make my eyes bleed.
Now, the whole reason to trade up for Wentz and pick him at No 2 when he’s your classic No 15-20 unrefined tools pick like Flacco, Freeman, or Campbell (and picking Goff @1), has everything to do with the fact that he’s white and the best upcoming QB prospects in 2017 are black. It is, what it is.
You actually think at any point during the decision regarding trading up for Wentz or not, Howie, Lurie and the gang, thought to themselves: “Well, next year its a black guy, can’t have that”?
Not saying I agree with this line of thinking but I would think it would be more of a subconscious bias
In a predominantly black sport?
We could have had Mariota, Bridgewater, (and Carr). And I really wonder whether Chip had any understandings to make team as white as it was by the end of his tenure. I don’t think that’s particularly unreasonable.
“that”, meaning that they really wanted an asset marketable as all american wholesome captain whitebread.
“they”, meaning Lurie and the rest.
Do I watch and suffer or root for the Colts?
Well, it’s not so much bad, as ominous portents for next year.
indy up, woot
We’re only losing by 4. Can’t bail yet.
It’s about to be 11 if this drive is an indication of how things will be.
Only 7. Woohoo!
its all about scouting for next year
Like i said, this defense has NO excuse.
There’s our D
why do trick play always beat us
Cause Barwin is too smart for DE…
You mean misdirection?
Guys have no gap discipline its all about getting up field, so we get out leveraged a lot.
Maybe we work the run game now?
Wentz is shot
Carson, get your head in the game.
Wentz needs to sit.
Period.
He’s playing with zero confidence now.
No he doesn’t need to sit. Let him play through it
playing deeper into it is more destructive
agree…F it
His play is making the Ravens defense look good and our protection look poor.
Oh, wait…
On the white guy? I thought Cooper was gone?
Doug justifies playing Wentz because the message it would send to sit him. At this point you are hurting him Doug… and it’s obvious
now our qb can’t even catch a snap
Can’t Doug call a play to beat the blitz on third down?
Screen to Jordan Matthews?
Little disappointed to see the team come out so flat. I can appreciate the OL struggles considering all the injuries (and playing a good B-more front) it’s hard for me as a fan to care about the team when no one out there is getting upset about how shit they’re playing.
Good news, Minn losing to Indy!
Eagles ball!
I wish we did.
Punch it the fuck in
Go backwards lol
JP the king of catching the offsides
Eagles D showing spirit!
Kelce got pushed back 10 yds on the TD run?
Did we score ??
He was taking his guy out of the play 🙂
TD!!!
Baltimore fans must be like: what the fuck??? this should be a cakewalk.
woot woot.
We’re going for 2 because?
Wind
Wind and less than ideal long snapper situation?
Huh. We’re winning.
Lol
somehow they got 11 points out of like 30 total yards of offense.
efficient!
i’d be ok w/ ryan mathews for another year…
Agreed. Historically he’s not been a fumbler. Not sure why that became a problem earlier this year. His issue is always health.
His year is 12 games if you’re ok w that
Nigel Bradham probably is the most underpaid player on our roster right now?
We have him for another year. Let’s see if he is a dumbass again or ends up in jail this offseason.
But seemed like he disappeared for a while
MIN down even more now. woot.
Most important game of the day.
im pretty sure he got that high as a cowboy.
Nice, I thought the same.
good play by Hicks
hate all our almost sacks
I hate all our almost touchdowns and almost interceptions
The correct term is a “Mamula”
Hello pick play?
strange vision there.
Just run it Kolb
i think mathews got injured a few plays ago. We may have zero running backs now. is byron marshall playing? (or whatever his name is)
Mathews injured, no way
Jesus, when the injury bug bites it bites hard. BYRON MARSHALL TIME SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT 5TH RB RUNNING BEHIND 5TH RIGHT TACKLE.
uh oh. Torn hammie?
btw, osweiler is in trouble.
Since when has Osweiler not been in trouble lol. He’s Brock Osweiler, that causes the trouble.
When Tom Savage is your backup, and he’s getting reading to come into the game…
said everyone week one
this team is snake bit.
hm looked like he had a gap there.
but of course.
That pass got caught in the wind like a golf ball slicing in the wind lol.
Jesus.
Get the teacher’s pet in there, pronto.
???
backwards screen.
you’re like 5 mins behind man.
yeah…
now lets see what kind of crazy shit byron maxwell does to help us lose.
well, at least he got that fourth down throw in…
Much respect for the Ravens organization and that choice of cheerleader outfit.
That was a hell of a tackle by the hash mark.
Just so I can keep up, are we still ruining Wentz’s future on this drive?
I think we’re ruining Byron Marshall’s future. Clearly his confidence is shattered and should be removed immediately lest he wilt like a flower in autumn.
I think we should only play young guys on plays where they do good and bench them right before they do bad. Doug is so dumb not to do that.
Or, alternatively, Doug is just dumb. Even when he does smart things Doug is dumb.
Dumb Doug might be too unfair .. He’s rich so wtf does he care, he has the last laff.
Actually, no. Its been an impressive drive actually. Running the ball right down Baltimore’s throat.
FUMBLE!!!! and this is why Mathews won’t be back next year lol.
for every person someone wants cut, you have to provide a better option. mathews isnt perfect but i’ll take him on my team.
He’s not that good. He kinda falling forward which is good but when does he create on his own?
You’re right, replacing Le’veon Bell will be difficult despite the fumbling issues.
The NFL is about cap space and with this deep draft at RB, I would rather have sproles here for another year or two.
sproles is great but he’s not an every down back.
Draft and Smallwood (and Barner)
Grt Josey back .. bring Huff back… Mostert when he’s available again
Wait, the Huff that ultimately caused Tampa’s safety?
He’s a knucklehead. No.
YOURS 250 !!
Do you need a name or can we just replace guys with generic 4th round picks who end up being awesome?
24-0 colts.
Justin Tucker can kick and he can sing, but he dabs like Vick slides. Athleticism can be so weird.
get marshall off the field. tries to do too much.
disaster waiting to happen
Yep, let’s give Beau Allen a few carries.
“dont do anything foolish to have a turnover”
You mean like throw it in the dirt at the receivers feet? like what he just did? that kind of thing?
The narrative for the game has been set – Wentz the foolish rookie vs. Flaco the wily veteran. Don’t go interfering with that narrative by pointing out plays in the game.
In this post-truth world, I solemnly feel like our poor offensive line play is Jeffrey Lurie’s fault somehow.
If we had traded them Josh Huff, that would be our ball, somehow.
Jalen Mills has actually been playing pretty good today… that PI notwithstanding. And he’ll never be accused of lacking confidence.
beau allen in coverage, really wtf
Steve Smith is made of mithril, of course he’s returned.
Of course
WTF? That is piss poor Defense.
That’s my bad guys, I had just mentioned how Jalen Mills was playing well today, my fault.
Expecting safety help?
At least he didnt wag his finger
He probably should have, just for consistency.
U really let the team down today. U need to execute better. Its a process.
I take it upon myself, I’ll do extra reps on the commenting machine this week.
Watkins+ Mills in coverage is too much to overcome
Where is the leadership and coaching. They have time pre-snap to make sure that play doesn’t happen
Watkins is terrible at S
well that’s what happens when you don’t have a backup slot qb
CB turned safety.
That was nice to see the victory formation.
I member that
Watkins is quickly becoming my most hated Eagle. Kendricks and Mills not far behind.
I don’t get what you expect from Mill and Watkins. They were late round picks who are playing because we lack depth. Mills is also a rookie
How are Jason Kelce, Nelson Agholor, and Chase Daniels not ahead of all those guys. We have invested serious picks or money and these guys are just stealing from the eagles.
Poor hate list on your part.
Because they shouldn’t be on the field. Chase isn’t on the field. Do I hate him taking up decent WR money? Sure. But it’s like last year when chip and billy insisted playing Maragos at safety, and moving Jenkins to the slot.
And for some reason, Agholor doesn’t really piss me off. I’ve been ready to move on from Kelce but he makes some nice plays every once in a while. Watkins and Kendricks always screw up
Mills finger wag is maddening to me. You’re not good. Shut the fuck up.
Kelce, how can he not be number 1 most of the time
