Chicago Game Thread – 1st Half

Posted: November 7th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 226 Comments »

Here are the inactives:

QB Mike Kafka
OL Winston Justice
OL Julian Vandervelde

DE Phillip Hunt
DE Juqua Parker
CB Curtis Marsh
S Jarrad Page

This means we’ll see DE Brandon Graham make his 2011 debut.  I’m curious to see what he can do.  He will have fresh legs so it’s possible that he’ll look a bit faster tonight than some other players.  Or his less than 100 percent ACL could render him to be a marginal player.  We’ll see.

Big game.  Hold onto the ball, tackle well, and let’s go win this thing.

Go Eagles !!!

    Hmmm. Graham over Hunt is interesting. Hopefully it means we have a healthy new sacking machine

    I love posting here and reading but I usually don’t do your game threads Tommy. Make me regret it, Iggles Blitz gang!

    I’m happy with those inactives. Odd season for Justice, he makes one spot start and looks pretty good, and otherwise we haven’t needed him. Still healing?

    Come on Graham!

    Well that opening drive sucked.

    BUT … My worry isn’t that we can’t win a shootout with the Bears. It’s that Vick will start pressing and get all turnovery like he did before when we were trailing.

    If we go match this with a TD drive of our own we’re good.

    If we go three and out we’re good.

    Only way we’re not good is if we go off the rails on this drive.

    Pleeease be the good Vick, pleeease be the good Vick, pleeease be the good Vick,

    We’re not off the rails.

    The D settled down. The offense isn’t pressing.

    A TD would be nice. A FG I guess would be okay. This team has to be able win ugly too. They aren’t all going to go like the Cowboys game.

    Bears offensive line looks pretty legit so far. I know they switched up their OL version of Jarrad Page and they’re a little better, but crapola … we aren’t getting any penetration. Run plays, pass plays, whatever.

    We are really gonna need a huge defensive play to have a chance.

    Henery – sketchy.

    Is Henery injured?

    The guy’s kickoffs are weak

    And he doinks a FG from 47?

    What the hell is going on?

    I hope he proves me wrong, but I think Henery is going to be another waste of a draft pick….

  137. 137 Andrew Moore said at 9:51 PM on November 7th, 2011:

    I think he’ll be fine. He’s a rookie. It’ll take him a while to get more confident. I have no problem with the Henery pick. Akers was looking real shakey last year. He was losing us games instead of winning us. They had to make a move. They could have brought in a veteran, but I have no problem going after a guy if they think he’s going to be a Crosby/Gostkowski type – plug him in and keep him there for 10 years.

    We’re not playing well right now, but the doom and gloom already in this game is a bit intense. You would think we are down by 20 based on the comments here. We’re down 7, if we can hold them here, we get the ball at the beginning of the 3rd quarter with a chance to tie it up. We have played a lot better against Forte, we seem to be getting the Bears into 3rd and long situations, we just have to stop those 3rd downs. Offensively, the Bears are defending us pretty well, but we are still slowly moving the ball down the field.

    I always think of this team like a very delicate machine. They’re only built to win one way. They need to get a huge lead early and then they kill you with their pass rush and good pass defense. It’s always been Andy’s strategy. It’s so frustrating because the minute we run into a team that can run or the first time a team takes away the big-play we cannot, CANNOT rebound. Infuriating.

    Celek was such an idiot at the end of that half. He caught the ball within an inch of the sideline and decided to be a tough guy and turn in back into the field of play so that he could charge into a Bears defender. Stupid football. That’s why we’re going to lose.

    Either way is a failure of leadership.
