    Can I order a hit on Rupert Murdoch in here? There is no fucking way on earth that Sky have 2 Eagles games back to back. This sucks! I want my money back from NFL network. Sucks!!!!L!,!,!,! Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!

  3. 3 TommyLawlor said at 1:06 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Good start by the D. And Gilyard at PR.

  4. 4 Corry Henry said at 1:06 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    So wait…the Eagles get the ball outside of the 20? Is that allowed?

  5. 5 SteveH said at 1:06 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Good start D!

  6. 6 ToastJenkins said at 1:07 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Like the playcall to DeSean, backside DE just made a great play

  7. 7 Crus57 said at 1:08 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    2nd and 4 to a punt, gj offense.

  8. 8 iskar36 said at 1:09 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Come on STs!

  9. 9 lilmc said at 1:09 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Special Teams again!!

  10. 10 TommyLawlor said at 1:11 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    That punt was low. Gotta get hang time so coverage units have a chance to get down there. Ugh.

  11. 11 iskar36 said at 1:12 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    The punt was bad, but the ST unit had a chance to take him down a lot earlier. They need to make that play.

  12. 12 ToastJenkins said at 1:09 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    STs….yeah still need some improvement

  13. 13 Corry Henry said at 1:09 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Battle of terrible special teams score: Detroit 1 – Philly 0.

  14. 14 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:10 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Our offense and special teams suck, I don’t think they can be fixed.

  15. 15 T_S_O_P said at 1:11 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Bollocks, bollocks bollocks!

  16. 16 ACViking said at 1:11 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I’ll take my chances with Chas Henry.

    And please, Andy Reid, bring in a young asst to replace Bobby April.

    I know April doesn’t punt the ball or cover the kicks.

    But April makes the calls about who does.

  17. 17 Daniel said at 1:12 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I really hope we didn’t lose something special in Henry because April was trying to save face.

  18. 18 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:13 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Special Teams – Detriot + 3, Philadelphia -3.

  19. 19 A_T_G said at 1:16 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    so, a 6-point swing? That doesn’t seem right.

  20. 20 lilmc said at 1:13 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Nice stop D!

  21. 21 TommyLawlor said at 1:15 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Time to see how Boykin does vs Lions cover team.

  22. 22 rls255 said at 1:15 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Would be nice to answer back with a big return of our own.

  23. 23 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:15 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Less than 4 minutes into the game and field position has already been reversed. I loved the idea of deferring, but the offense and special teams made sure it didn’t help us.

  24. 24 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:16 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Wow, made it past the 20 yard line !!!!

  25. 25 Corry Henry said at 1:16 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Yeah, that was good to see Boykin catch it and just go.

  26. 26 A_T_G said at 1:17 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Looks like our special teams are fixed.

  27. 27 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:17 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Our offense is laughable.

  28. 28 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:18 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    No time, poor blocking, dumb decisions (that throw).

  29. 29 ACViking said at 1:19 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I’ve never seen a QB decide to RUN on a *free play*

  30. 30 Daniel said at 1:20 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Everyone just stopped. I think everyone must have thought Bell had a false start like I did.

  31. 31 TommyLawlor said at 1:21 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Rare.

  32. 32 Corry Henry said at 1:19 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    This is definitely not the fast start I was hoping for.

  33. 33 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:19 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    3 and out. 3 and out. +1 yard 5 minutes and 9 seconds in the game.Wow

  34. 34 SteveH said at 1:20 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Lions with 6 plays, 11 yards, and 3 points lol.

  35. 35 TommyLawlor said at 1:21 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    48 yd PR…hidden yards. D has played pretty well so far.

  36. 36 A_T_G said at 1:21 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I’m okay with a 42 yard net punt on a touchback

  37. 37 ACViking said at 1:23 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Chas Henry could have done that.

    Reid and April, by cutting Henry, seemed to make clear they wanted punts inside the 20 . . . especially when you have 60 yards to work with.

  38. 38 Scott Buchanan said at 1:23 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Tommy change underwear..and quick too

  39. 39 T_S_O_P said at 1:23 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Now watching Sky. Awful does not cover it.

  40. 40 Corry Henry said at 1:24 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Aw c’mon!

  41. 41 ToastJenkins said at 1:24 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    this is starting to look too familiar….

  42. 42 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:24 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    This game is more of the same. I’m not sure why I expect different. Offensive let down, special teams let down, and eventually the defense will give in and cave.

  43. 43 ACViking said at 1:25 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Wow. The Lions’ O-line is worse than D-Bell

  44. 44 SteveH said at 1:26 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    This game is gonna get ugly quick.

  45. 45 Scott Buchanan said at 1:27 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Shitfest in Philly…

  46. 46 ACViking said at 1:27 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I like Brandon Graham.

    But does he have any moves besides the “Bull Rush”?

  47. 47 TommyLawlor said at 1:33 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I don’t know if he plays enough to use a bunch of moves. He used a spin move in the past.

  48. 48 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:27 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Is Asomugha giving Johnson a 15 yard cushion?

  49. 49 Daniel said at 1:29 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Curtis Marsh? Has he been playing in our dime? I thought it was DRC, Nnamdi, Boykin, Hughes….

  50. 50 rls255 said at 1:32 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Finally got a hit on Stafford, we need more of those.

  51. 51 TommyLawlor said at 1:32 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    2nd hit on him.

  52. 52 rls255 said at 1:34 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    cool, must have missed the first. Hope we can keep the pressure coming.

  53. 53 Corry Henry said at 1:32 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Wait, did they just get a 5th down? Didn’t that unnecessary roughness make the down count??

  54. 54 ToastJenkins said at 1:33 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    be nice if the offensive arrived at the stadium some time soon…

  55. 55 SteveH said at 1:34 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    D bent but didnt break, now we just have to hope the O can somehow get their shit together. Awful offense this year.

  56. 56 TommyLawlor said at 1:37 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Really big series. Need to move the ball here. Points would be great, but must at least get a few 1st downs.

  57. 57 lilmc said at 1:36 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Boykin seems to be hitting the hole harder on his returns

  58. 58 Corry Henry said at 1:37 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    yeah if his blockers could just hold their blocks a bit more he might be able to break one. Which we might need since the offense has no interest in moving the ball.

  59. 59 TommyLawlor said at 1:37 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    First return boosted his confidence.

  60. 60 GermanEagle said at 1:38 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    This game is going down to the last drive. Your read it here first.

  61. 61 GermanEagle said at 1:41 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Why don’t we call more shotgun plays?!

  62. 62 ToastJenkins said at 1:43 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    thats why

  63. 63 A_T_G said at 1:43 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Oh, I know…

  64. 64 Daniel said at 1:41 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Just watch the play Maclin, don’t feel you need to block.

  65. 65 Crus57 said at 1:43 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Farcical.

  66. 66 SteveH said at 1:43 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Wow, only the eagles.

  67. 67 Corry Henry said at 1:43 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Face. Palm.

  68. 68 ToastJenkins said at 1:43 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Vick may be the stupidest QB in the league….oiy

  69. 69 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:43 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    -1 in the Turnover battle.

    Anyone else feel like this is the same team we’ve seen every week that just isn’t catching huge breaks and making huge plays on defense? Cause I do.

    Pretender might be a bit much. Bad football team is my current stance.

  70. 70 Daniel said at 1:44 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    It’s the same team where everyone takes a turn to screw up. Today’s is Dallas Reynolds.

  71. 71 lilmc said at 1:44 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    This is unreal!

  72. 72 TommyLawlor said at 1:44 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Truly.

  73. 73 Crus57 said at 1:44 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Dallas Reynolds and Vick are having problems at home, without a crowd roaring in their ears.

  74. 74 TommyLawlor said at 1:45 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I don’t know what is going on. Bad.

  75. 75 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:44 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    How come other teams can get pressure so easily on us….but we can’t get near other teams QB’s without a QB holding a ball for 5 minutes

  76. 76 Scott Buchanan said at 1:45 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    FOLES

  77. 77 DamonL86 said at 1:45 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    This team is a comedy of errors

  78. 78 GermanEagle said at 1:46 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    With all the crapp the O and Vick is getting, what about our beloved D? No sacks in 9 consecutive quarters, no bloody turnover?! Really?!

  79. 79 A_T_G said at 1:48 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    becausepathetic cause the Lions have had two short fields and came away with 2 field goals.

  80. 80 Crus57 said at 1:49 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    strike that last complaint.

  81. 81 DarthBanner said at 1:49 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Not too pleased with the defense either, but without them playing as they have the Eagles are 0-5 right now.

  82. 82 ken jomo said at 1:46 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I will never understand how Reid and Marty do such a good job with game plans against certain teams (giants, Ravens), but like clueless against other teams. This is pathetic

  83. 83 T_S_O_P said at 1:47 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    It’s Murdoch’s fault. If I was able to watch properly we’d be fine.

  84. 84 Crus57 said at 1:49 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I am able to watch properly, and it is worse in HD.

  85. 85 DarthBanner said at 1:47 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Well, Vick almost made it a quarter on that “No fumbles for the rest of the year” pledge,

    Remember when Eagles football used to be entertaining and successful? Now its neither.

    2nd season in a row the Eagles have played so far below the sum of their parts, only this season their is no built in excuse. That falls on the coaching staff and the idiot quarterback.

  86. 86 ACViking said at 1:47 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    T-Law / anyone:

    Did you see Vick get hit helmut-to-helmut on that play when he was nearly “Byce-Pauped”?

  87. 87 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:47 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I’ll tell you my stance on this team:

    QB – Awful play, no recognition
    WR – Maclin – can’t block, or give no effort. I swear I’ve seen McCoy yell at him 3 or 4 times this year, and always see McCoy taking down by Maclin’s man.
    OL – Jason Peters was our best offensive player. Made the whole offensive line significantly better.

    DL – No real pressure. I don’t care if it’s 5 against 10, they never get near a QB without him holding the ball in the last few games.

    Rest of the defense? Let down waiting to happen and Special teams are a joke.

    I don’t know why I watch this frustrating team week after week. It has to be killing me. They never correct the mistakes (at least not before the bye week).

  88. 88 Patrick said at 1:47 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    How freaking hard is it not to turn the ball over 7 times a quater.

  89. 89 Corry Henry said at 1:49 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Holy shit Asomugha made a play on the ball!

  90. 90 Scott Buchanan said at 1:49 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Lions helping the cause

  91. 91 lilmc said at 1:49 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    There we go!

  92. 92 SteveH said at 1:49 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Thank you Stafford for being Stafford.

  93. 93 T_S_O_P said at 1:50 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Love me some 24

  94. 94 TommyLawlor said at 1:53 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    We needed that.

  95. 95 Corry Henry said at 1:50 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Welcome back Mr. Cooper.

  96. 96 A_T_G said at 1:50 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Nnamdi didn’t give him any cushion on that one. He was right up on Calvin.

  97. 97 TommyLawlor said at 1:53 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Nnamdi is adjusting to the down/distance and the look the offense is giving. Nice pick.

  98. 98 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:51 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Marty/Reid getting out coached.

  99. 99 ToastJenkins said at 1:51 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    this looks like a team off their bye…they are so much fresher

  100. 100 Daniel said at 1:51 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Why aren’t we calling screens or anything to counter the blitz. Horrible play call.

  101. 101 Corry Henry said at 1:52 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Is this Delmas’ first game back?

  102. 102 GermanEagle said at 1:52 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Worst O Line in Football.

  103. 103 joe l said at 1:53 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Whatever the offensive game plan is needs to be dumped into File 13.

  104. 104 DarthBanner said at 1:53 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    How long can the Eagles continue with this complete lack of production on offense before they go with Foles?

    We have broken 20 points once this season, and it certainly doesn’t look like its happening today. Enough is enough.

  105. 105 Daniel said at 1:54 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    How could Foles do any better here? This is all the play calling.

  106. 106 DarthBanner said at 2:04 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Vick holds onto the ball too long, which is as much a part of the problem. Plus it might actually force Marty and Andy to adapt.

  107. 107 ACViking said at 1:54 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Side Story tomorrow:

    “Nnamdi must have heard the rumors this week . . . blah, blah”

  108. 108 GermanEagle said at 1:54 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Guys, don’t you get it?! With this O Line we are not going anywhere. Get a clue.

  109. 109 A_T_G said at 1:58 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I’m still going to root for them. Hope that doesn’t bother you too much.

  110. 110 Corry Henry said at 1:55 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    You would think with the way EVERYONE is biting on the play action that the Lions actually like to run the ball.

  111. 111 GermanEagle said at 1:55 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    And our Rund D is pathetic.

  112. 112 rls255 said at 1:56 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Run D did their job there. Nice stop.

  113. 113 SteveH said at 1:57 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Gilyard does not look comfortable out there catching punts. I do not like this idea.

  114. 114 GermanEagle said at 1:57 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Should there be one more Eagles fan on here wanting Foles behing this O Line I’m gonna punch him in the face.

  115. 115 nicolajNN said at 1:58 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I agree, put Edwards in there

  116. 116 Zachary Kaplan said at 1:58 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I still want Foles (does that count?). The OL is bad, but Vick makes awful decisions with the football, maybe it’s the coaches, but he holds the ball too long in my mind. Your OL sucks? make quick throws, hot reads.

  117. 117 GermanEagle said at 1:58 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Is it not time for Desean returning punts finally?

  118. 118 TommyLawlor said at 1:59 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Right now the offense has multiple problems. Lions have been in 8-man fronts on several run plays, making Shady ineffective. We need to spread them out and run. Or go max protect and throw deep.

  119. 119 ACViking said at 1:59 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    With all the complaining about MM, the Lions own OC Scott Linehan is keeping the Eagles in this game.

    Watch out.

  120. 120 ToastJenkins said at 2:00 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Can Foles possibly do any worse?

  121. 121 GermanEagle said at 2:04 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Yes he can. How could he do better behind this O Line?!

  122. 122 SteveH said at 2:00 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    lol wrong audio feed again.

  123. 123 ACViking said at 2:00 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I love how Fox slips Ravens game-audio into the Eagles’ games

  124. 124 TommyLawlor said at 2:03 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    That is really weird.

  125. 125 ToastJenkins said at 2:01 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    with the way their D is blitzing, its time for max protect and double moves on both sides

  126. 126 Crus57 said at 2:03 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    That looked a bit like “Oh sh#t, we still have 3 timeouts? I’d better burn one.”

  127. 127 Corry Henry said at 2:06 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Unreal.

  128. 128 SteveH said at 2:06 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    good grief, this team is like the 3 stooges.

  129. 129 ACViking said at 2:07 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    BRAVO!

  130. 130 DarthBanner said at 2:06 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    And that’s why I’d like to see Foles at this point.

  131. 131 ACViking said at 2:07 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    T-LAW:

    YOU NEED TO SAY SOMETHING . . . NOW! . . . ABOUT VICK.

    I’m standing on the ledge of a very tall building . . .

  132. 132 SteveH said at 2:07 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    right beside you buddy. Talk us off the ledge Tommy.

  133. 133 TommyLawlor said at 2:08 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Bad throw there. Avant looked open, but pressure affected his footwork and led to the overthrow. Poor decision on his part.

  134. 134 ACViking said at 2:08 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Forget Foles. Norm Snead is out there somewhere.

  135. 135 DamonL86 said at 2:08 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Hey on the bright side at least it wasn’t a fumble

  136. 136 A_T_G said at 2:11 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    the pick is a lot better for field position.

    I can’t wait for the Foles Era to begin… 🙁

    If our D wasnt good at tightening up this game would be really bad right now.

  139. 139 Corry Henry said at 2:12 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    *sigh*

  140. 140 iskar36 said at 2:13 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Can we official start saying this pass rush is not as good as advertised? 6 minutes left in what would be the 11th quarter in a row without a sack.

  141. 141 DamonL86 said at 2:14 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    we have a pass rush?

  142. 142 SteveH said at 2:14 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    This game is what it looks like when a stoppable force meets a movable object.

  143. 143 TommyLawlor said at 2:15 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Yeah, really.

  144. 144 ACViking said at 2:15 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    The Lions are KEEPING the Eagles in this game.

    1 TD and the Eagles are ahead. Just saying

  145. 145 TommyLawlor said at 2:15 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    That’s the thing that’s keeping me from going nuts.

  146. 146 Corry Henry said at 2:16 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    and lots of PBR.

  147. 147 Lewwyn said at 2:17 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    That still requires the Eagles to, you know, score…

  148. 148 A_T_G said at 2:18 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    The Lions, or our D? A little of each?

  149. 149 Corry Henry said at 2:15 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    The D is playing well, but the Lions are really helping us stay in the game.

  150. 150 ToastJenkins said at 2:16 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    now there’s a fine example of Vick’s utter lack of pocket presence. he’s sliding INTO a guy thats doubled while he has tons of space to his left….

  151. 151 OldSoul said at 2:17 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    when do we slide herremans inside, put dunlap at RT, and bench watkins

  152. 152 ACViking said at 2:20 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Vick taking a beating. Jeez.

    Was Juan’s “BIG BOY” approach better?

    For the health of the QB, that is

  153. 153 Corry Henry said at 2:21 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I think you’re looking at the cumulative affect of losing your All World left tackle and starting center.

  154. 154 TommyLawlor said at 2:21 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    No. If you remember, Vick almost got killed vs DET in 2010. Nick Cole was dreadful in that game.

  155. 155 ACViking said at 2:25 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Yes. I remember now.

    Nick Cole was a disaster.

    But with the addition of Watkins — or someone better than Cole — would the Juan-approach be any better?

    Week after week, Vick gets clobbered.

    And this happened last year, too.

  156. 156 SteveH said at 2:21 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Offense looks good when we find a rhythm. Makes you wonder what the hell we were doing the first quarter and a half.

  157. 157 GermanEagle said at 2:23 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    The greatest D Line of all football?! I don’t think so…

  158. 158 Corry Henry said at 2:24 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Wow! Vick took a shot!

  159. 159 GermanEagle said at 2:24 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    U gotta admire Vick for his sense of competition. He’s a baller!

  160. 160 nicolajNN said at 2:25 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    I just had the exact same thought

  161. 161 ToastJenkins said at 2:25 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    now please use the play action on 2nd….

  162. 162 GermanEagle said at 2:25 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Wohoooooooooooo

  163. 163 TommyLawlor said at 2:27 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Vick is one tough son of a gun.

  164. 164 SteveH said at 2:25 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    lol, worst half of football where your team is still leading ever?

  165. 165 Crus57 said at 2:26 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    It’s not over yet..

  166. 166 rls255 said at 2:25 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    NICE!!

  167. 167 OldSoul said at 2:26 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    no helmet to helmet but a questionable PI? I’ll take it either way.

  168. 168 Crus57 said at 2:26 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Delayed blitzers seem to have no problem coming through untouched, still.

  169. 169 teltschikfakeout88 said at 2:26 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Wow guys what we see is teams making MV beat you as a QB. They know he is a TO machine and it is a matter of time during the game that his throws or ball security will be a mistake in the other teams favor. MV running in traffic or throwing 40 times a game is good for the other team. In spite of this the game has been nothing but punts ,to and some fg. Heck I think st probably has a higher snap count then the offense or defense

  170. 170 ACViking said at 2:27 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Re: the Shot on Vick’s Chin

    I’d be surprised if Vick isn’t mildly concussed right now.

    But he’s remembering the play.

  171. 171 A_T_G said at 2:27 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    So, I just tuned in. How is it going? Okay, up by a point? Not bad, I guess.

  172. 172 TommyLawlor said at 2:27 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Eaglez R dominentz!!!

  173. 173 Lewwyn said at 2:28 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Well played.

  174. 174 joe l said at 2:27 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Is it too late to suit up some green spray painted street cones and set them up in front of Vick?

  175. 175 Eagles111 said at 2:29 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Andy and marty should be fined by the league for their utter disregard for Vick’s health

  176. 176 rls255 said at 2:29 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Nice stop D!!!!

  177. 177 Corry Henry said at 2:30 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    There was some pressure!

  178. 178 ACViking said at 2:30 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Stafford’s horrible. Pull him!

    That’s what we’re all saying about Vick.

    The Eagles’ DBs are earning their money today

  179. 179 SteveH said at 2:30 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Isn’t Stafford supposed to be good? He’s missing passes all day.

  180. 180 Daniel said at 2:34 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Don’t jinx us.

  181. 181 nicolajNN said at 2:31 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Holy shit! A screen that actually worked!

  182. 182 SteveH said at 2:33 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    blech that was awful, no yards and stayed inbounds.

  183. 183 ACViking said at 2:33 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Vick’s fault.

    Throw that over McCoy’s head.

  184. 184 OldSoul said at 2:35 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    how do you not lead Avant with a 5 yd pass.

  185. 185 ACViking said at 2:35 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Two bad passes by Vick cost the Eagles on this drive.

  186. 186 TommyLawlor said at 2:39 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Vick gets blame for Shady pass. Avant is more to blame. Didn’t go out of bounds after his catch. Turned back to the field. INSANE!!!

  187. 187 ACViking said at 2:41 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Pass looked like it was behind Avant.

    But I agree totally if it wasn’t

    But, on All-22, it’ll be clear.

  188. 188 SteveH said at 2:37 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    This is gonna be another of those wins where I feel awful about the win.

  189. 189 rls255 said at 2:38 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Maybe, but I’ll still take a win anyway we can get it.

  190. 190 NoDecaf said at 2:37 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    Oi vey Tommy.

  191. 191 A_T_G said at 2:39 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    “lions sacked Cunningham 10 times that day.”

    Ah, remember the days when we had a tough defense, an athlete trying to be a QB and no offensive line? Feels like it was only yesterday, er… Last week?

  192. 192 TommyLawlor said at 2:48 PM on October 14th, 2012:

    2nd half thread is posted.

    Vick will be OK. just have faith, Eagles nation!
