Eagles Lose A Shootout

Posted: December 24th, 2022 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 20 Comments »

Dallas won. An Eagles victory would have been great. Minshew Mania, top seed in the NFC and winning the NFC East would have made for a heck of a Christmas present. Instead, the evil empire won and there will be no joy in Mudville.

Normally I would be really ticked off after the Eagles blew a game and lost to the Cowboys. I’m okay with this. It occurred to me how much had to happen for Dallas to win the game.

  • 4 turnovers
  • Dak Prescott starting 16 for 18
  • Allowing a conversion on 3rd and 30
  • Dallas getting a penalty on 4th and 8 to give them a 1st down
  • Injury to Avonte Maddox
  • Injury to Lane Johnson
  • Eagles failing to recover a fumble
  • Dak not going down on a sack play and being able to complete a key pass

This is not a winning formula that you can count on.

The Eagles backup QB led his offense to 27 points and 442 points against a top tier defense. The Cowboys didn’t sack Gardner Minshew once. The gamebook doesn’t even credit them with a QB hit. If you’re a Dallas fan, you’ve got to be really worried about the defense.

Give Dak Prescott credit for turning 4 Eagles turnovers into 20 points. That really is the difference in the game.

The Eagles can be proud of the way the offense played. They never had to punt. That’s crazy when you had the backup QB in the game. DeVonta Smith (8-113-2) and AJ Brown (6-103) were magnificent. Smith was especially great, making some tough catches. This is one game where the box score only tells part of the story. Minshew doesn’t post big numbers (24-40-355) without incredible catches by the WRs and Dallas Goedert.

The defense had 6 sacks and a takeaway.

The Eagles limited CeeDee Lamb in the 2nd half and got tougher on 3rd downs. Too often, Dallas made plays and got the best of the Eagles D. One of the big problems is that Maddox got hurt early on. Dallas puts Lamb in the slot and feeds him the ball. That was going to be a tough matchup for Maddox, but it was way too much for Josiah Scott.

The low point of the game came when the Eagles had a couple of sacks and put Dallas in 3rd and 30. Dak dropped back and threw a deep ball to the left side. TY Hilton made the catch after Scott was late getting over. That might be the angriest I’ve been all season. They got 52 yards on the play. You can give up 10 or 20, but not 30 and certainly not 52. That play would eat me alive if I was on the defensive coaching staff. That’s nightmare fuel.

The Eagles built 10-point leads in both the 1st and 2nd half. They couldn’t build on either one of them, with turnovers being the big problem. Minshew threw a pair of INTs. There were fumbles by Boston Scott and Miles Sanders as well. Killer plays.

The biggest concern for the Eagles is the status of Lane Johnson, Jordan Davis and Maddox. Johnson went to the locker room in the 2nd half. Maddox hurt his foot/toe and was in a walking boot after the game. That’s not good. Davis likely suffered a concussion. Johnson is the key.

Keep your fingers crossed that he’s okay. Jack Driscoll has been a good backup RT, but you want Johnson ready heading into the playoffs.

The Eagles are now 13-2. They have lost a pair of wild games to division rivals. The common denominator…turnovers. When the Eagles protect the ball, they don’t lose. Nick Sirianni will work on the issues that led to the turnovers.

Go enjoy your holiday. Let Dallas celebrate this win. I don’t think it bodes well for them. Just can’t count on so many things going your way.

If the Eagles go beat the Saints next week, this game will quickly become a distant memory.

Merry Christmas.

TY Hilton tog fangsten, efter at Scott var for sent forbi. Det kan gøre mig vred hele sæsonen. De fik 52 yards på spillet. Du kan opgive 10 eller 20, men ikke 30 og bestemt ikke 52. Hvis jeg var i det defensive trænerteam, ville det spil æde mig i live. Det er mareridtsbrændstof. Eagles opbyggede en føring på 10 point i første og anden halvleg. De kunne ikke bygge videre på nogen af ​​dem, da omsætningen var et stort problem. Minshew kastede et par INT’er. Boston Scott og Miles Sanders havde også fumler. Morderen spiller. […]

    […] Eagles verlieren ein Shootout – Eagles BlitzDer Tiefpunkt des Spiels kam, als die Eagles ein paar Säcke hatten und Dallas auf den 3. und 30. Platz brachten. Dak fällt zurück und wirft einen tiefen Ball nach links. TY Hilton nahm den Fang, nachdem Scott zu spät zum Ende kam. Das könnte mich die ganze Saison über wütend machen. Sie gewannen 52 Yards auf dem Spiel. Sie können 10 oder 20 aufgeben, aber nicht 30 und schon gar nicht 52. Wenn ich im Trainerstab der Defensive wäre, würde mich dieses Spiel auffressen. Das ist Alptraumtreibstoff. Die Eagles bauten in der ersten und zweiten Halbzeit 10-Punkte-Führungen auf. Sie konnten auf keinen von ihnen aufbauen, da Fluktuationen ein großes Problem darstellten. Minshew warf ein Paar INTs. Auch Boston Scott und Miles Sanders hatten Fummelei. Der Mörder spielt. […]

    […] Eagles Loose A Shootout – Eagles BlitzMängu madalpunkt saabus siis, kui Eagles tegi paar kotikest ja pani Dallase 3. ja 30. kohale. Dak kukub tagasi ja viskab sügava palli vasakule. TY Hilton võttis saagi pärast seda, kui Scott oli hilinenud. See võib mind terve hooaja vihaseks ajada. Nad saavutasid mänguga 52 jardi. Võite loobuda 10-st või 20-st, aga mitte 30-st ja kindlasti mitte 52-st. Kui ma oleksin kaitsvas treenerites, sööks see mäng mind elusalt ära. See on õudusunenägude kütus. Eagles ehitas esimesel ja teisel poolajal 10-punktilise edumaa. Nad ei saanud neist ühelegi tugineda, kuna käibed olid suureks probleemiks. Minshew viskas INT paari. Boston Scottil ja Miles Sandersil olid ka löögid. Tapja mängib. […]

Dak si ritira e lancia una palla profonda a sinistra. TY Hilton ha preso la presa dopo che Scott era in ritardo. Questo potrebbe farmi arrabbiare per tutta la stagione. Hanno guadagnato 52 yard sul gioco. Puoi rinunciare a 10 o 20, ma non a 30 e certamente non a 52. Se fossi nello staff tecnico difensivo, quella giocata mi mangerebbe vivo. Questo è carburante da incubo. Gli Eagles hanno costruito un vantaggio di 10 punti nel primo e nel secondo tempo. Non potevano basarsi su nessuno di loro poiché i fatturati erano un grosso problema.

TY Hilton, Scott geç kaldıktan sonra işin peşini bırakmadı. Bu beni tüm sezon boyunca kızdırabilir. Oyunda 52 yard kazandılar. 10 veya 20’den vazgeçebilirsin ama 30’dan ve kesinlikle 52’den vazgeçemezsin. Savunma koçluğu kadrosunda olsaydım, bu oyun beni canlı canlı yerdi. Bu kabus yakıtı. Kartallar, ilk ve ikinci yarıda 10 sayılık üstünlük sağladı. Top kayıpları büyük bir sorun olduğu için bunların hiçbirini geliştiremediler. Minshew bir çift INT attı.

TY Hilton złapał haczyk po tym, jak Scott spóźnił się na koniec. To może mnie denerwować przez cały sezon. Zyskali 52 jardów na grę. Możesz zrezygnować z 10 lub 20, ale nie z 30 i na pewno nie z 52. Gdybym był w sztabie szkoleniowym defensywy, ta gra zjadłaby mnie żywcem. To koszmarne paliwo. Orły w pierwszej i drugiej połowie zbudowały 10-punktowe prowadzenie.

Kdybych byl v defenzivním trenérském týmu, ta hra by mě sežrala zaživa. To je palivo pro noční můru. Eagles si v prvním a druhém poločase vybudovali 10bodový náskok.

TY Hilton otti saaliin, kun Scott oli myöhässä. Se saattaa saada minut vihaiseksi koko kauden. He saivat pelissä 52 jaardia. Voit luopua 10:stä tai 20:stä, mutta et 30:stä etkä todellakaan 52:sta. Jos olisin puolustavassa valmentajassa, se peli söisi minut elossa. Se on painajainen polttoaine. Eagles rakensi 10 pisteen johdon ensimmäisellä ja toisella puoliajalla. He eivät voineet rakentaa mitään niistä, koska liikevaihdot olivat suuri ongelma. Minshew heitti INT-parin. Boston Scottilla ja Miles Sandersilla oli myös rähmäyksiä. Murhaaja pelaa. […]
