PHI at WAS – 1st Half Thread
Posted: November 18th, 2012 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 144 Comments »Folesmania launches today. Should be fun to watch. At least, I’m hoping it is.
Here are the inactives:
QB Mike Vick
RB Chris Polk
WR Mardy Gilyard
WR Jason Avant
OL Nate Menkin
DE Phillip Hunt
DE Vinny Curry
Bold prediction for the day…Damaris Johnson delivers a big play on offense.
Let’s go win a game, please. That will allow me to update Bob Griffin’s nickname to RG3and7. The little things keep me sane in a crappy year like this.
_
I think we can, I think we can, I think we can, I think we can…
We have a live broadcast and a happy camper, I’m sure my Eagles an’t spoil that.
…wait, why is Bryce Brown returning kicks and not Boykin?
The only thing that makes that more annoying is that it was Deangelo Hall who made the pick. I HATE that guy.
On Celek
that sort of pass has always had to be rifled in.
WHAT THE FUCK CELEK!? Fletcher didn’t even touch it!
WOW, did Lurie piss off some higher power or what? Can’t make this stuff up
This is not the start I had envisioned.
Annnnnd Nate Allen gets badly burned by play action. Lovely.
Not good.
Holy shit I cannot even believe it, Foles credited with the interception but that was ALL on Celek. Can’t believe this.
Hello top 5 pick
You have got to be kidding me! Celek with the stone hands! Now people gonna point to Foles stat line like he had an interception, jesus christ.
Good to see the whole team stepping up to help out the Rookie.
Receivers need to get credited with INTs. That wasn’t on Foles.
Let’s see the next 15 scripted plays
Trading penalties to start.
So Foles threw a prefect pass that Celek turned into an INT. Unfortunate.
Encapsulates the entire season.
OL horrendus on that run
I will say that Foles is making some quick decisions, and so far pretty good decisions.
I like how Foles not rattled at all. Young kid getting burned by his own guys and staying cool. Very good.
Foles spent 2 years living this same nightmare at AZ.
Converted on first 3rd down. That was good to see.
did it well too
Nice to get some first downs here at least
Anyways, there have been a number of Celek bounces that have turned into TOs. I view this as an indictment about WR size. Meal tickets should not be so thoroughly dependent on the middle of the field like that, and when it’s *short*, that pass *has* to be rifled in.
great audible on the blitz recognition by the kid
Beautiful to Cooper
Last year, against these Redskins (I think), Celek made an incredible circus catch after tipping the ball up and then laying on his back.
I thought the gods would be with us after that.
Not to be.
Credit Mathis for that great WR screen.
i guess Mathis changed the playcall?
No, that was kelly from the other side of the field!
Good play by Foles called back by a penalty. Sounds like a broken record.
great coversion, great effort by #14 and #18
Mistakes have to be expected with this line
You have to like Foles.
You don’t have to like anyone on the Eagles O-Line.
The O-line has been a failure from Roseman to Reid to Mudd to the players.
Great that we have Jake Scott.
2 penalties in the first Q.
OMG!!!!
Get to fg range at least
now that one is on Foles
le sigh
2 for 2. This is such an exhausting team.
Yeah…I’d like to say it’s on the receiver this time but…
Yeah that one all foles lol.
Got greedy. Must be smarter than that. Punting is okay.
i think ive seen this before….
Easy to blitz against andy and marty, I could game plan against this team
With the first overall pick in the 2013 draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select….
worst eagles team since 1999
We have been too spoiled by the Reid era sans last two years. I really hope the next HC is a hit or Eagles will be in for some lean times
Pressure . . . not sacks . . . is what creates TOs. The Eagles have neither on defense. And no pass-pro on offense.
A-gap blitzes. Killing the team the entire season.
Well, I’ve seen enough.
T-Law, I look forward to your DGR.
its just like Vick is still running the offense…
(*&%&*$%^*(&*&(%^*#&*()*&)^&*%^$%^*$&*^(*()(
Good defensive stand!
except the 3rd down, that was a gift
Skins run that stuff quite a bit.
Wow, Kyle with an Eagle-esque 3rd down call
It’s kinda sad that no matter if we’re punting or receiving a punt the other team are the first ones to the ball
Has Foles had time to set up in the pocket on ANY pass play in the 1st two series?
I don’t think so.
C’mon!!!
[T-Law . . . it’s like watching a car wreck. I can’t look away.]
Max protect
Good chemistry between Foles and Cooper.
the penalties on the OL so far have been punt-the-TV brutal
Look on the bright side King, at least it wasn’t a hands to the face.
Foles looks like a crafty vet throwing screens
King Dunlap has a future as a strip club bouncer.
Way to combat the blitz, for a change
They are actually going forward?
It’s sad that I keep looking for flags every time they get a positive play.
Yep, same here, or a fumble. Been that kind of year
On the subject of nicknames…
“Pick” Foles?
No.
I hope youre right. I try to be funny when Im nervous. It’s always a trainwreck. Sorry….
tommy,
it seems that the eagles game plan today is to run the ball mixed in with short passes and play action. Do you think that vick can be successful in this game plan and if so, why have they not been doing this before? i
Love to see the screen game working. Eagles have come up with a couple of wrinkles and they’re working well. Getting the ball to Shady with room to run is always a good thing.
Even though Foles has thrown 2 picks, I’m still encouraged by the fact that we can move the ball on offense and keep RG3and6 on the sideline.
Two guys blew blocks on that WR screen.
Geno. Smith.
I understand you want another quarterback, but I don’t think Geno is the answer. When he’s on, he’s amazing, but when he’s off, holy crap he’s waaaaaaay off.
worst. idea. ever.
Redskins offense looks terrible
only thing good about it is RG3
contain Kendricks….dammit
Ugh, outside in Kendricks…
O. Verrated
I just went on a screaming rant about that. So, so depressing. Should have been a simple play.
They just can’t finish the play can they?
Don’t they love to slobber over Griffin. My gosh, it’s like Starship 7 allover
You must remember how nauseating all the fawning over Vick was in the mid 00’s, this is just part 2 of that.
Tom Brennaman is about to propose marriage to RG-III.
I guess I’m spoiled after Randall, D-Mac, and Vick.
why dont we just take the effin safties off the field….results would be equivalent
/me stews
Ladies and Gentlemen, Nnamdi Asomugha.
Oh eagles….
What…just…happened? NA too slow? Blown coverage?
Both of the above I think. Time to watch the Formula 1.
If you want to see a car wreck don’t change the channel
Soft zone?
What happened to Landri?! Did you disown your son, Tommmy?!
Down year. I think he’s been affected by a knee injury, but disappointing.
Please stay tuned for our funniest pun contest immediately following the game.
I’ve been more and more impressed by BBrown
Aldrick Robinson is a speedster who isn’t that good, so putting him on a post route with Nmandi is a smart move, especially when the safety help is AWOL.
Looks like Nate Allen got caught cheating up, no?
I like this Bryce brown.
Thanks Maclin.
Foles had to make that throw
eeek that was a worse play than I thought on the sack!
This team is a dumpster fire.
Lol, banks with another fumble, I’ll bet jimmy bama is going nuts.
Banks is a fumble machine, but the Skins lose very few of them.
bryce brown having a good day on offense and as KR. running hard
Is #67 who ripped Vick publicly?!
Yes. However, he said the comments were pieced together to sound worse than he intended.
Is it just me or are we playing out of the shotgun a lot?
does that count as your big play from Demaris, Tommy?
Lol love these announcers, Kurt Kurrman and Demarius Johnson.
can we please get a real TE in the offseason….
Jesus Celek…
He’s having a drop-tisic season
Brent celek is having a horrible season.
Good lord. Celek is one of my favorite players, but c’mon man.
I didn’t know he was Latino…
Celek has become a drop machine – how many tips/drops has he had this season? Who tracks this? ESPN? Stats Inc?
3 points against this D in the first half?! And you were tacking the mickeys out of Vick?!
Using alot of zone coverage today
You need to vs RG3. That way if he runs the DBs will be looking at him. In man, DBs turn their back and can be badly burned by a running QB.
Ahh I see. Was wondering about the changeup
DRC even misses on going for the headshot….
3 stinkin’ points. Face. Palm.
you gotta be effin kidding me….
Exactly for this reason. I am glad AR will be gone!
Lol just take a knee Andy.
/me stews even more.
HOLY SHIT! REALLY?! REALLY?! TAKE A GODDAMN KNEE IF YOU’RE JUST GOING TO QUIT ON THE HALF FAT MAN!
hHahanahanahhanahahajajajjaana
sooooo…3-13 will get us what? like the 4th pick?
At least Geno Smith.
this is the sloppiest team i’ve ever seen….
This game is over. Thanks for another wasted Sunday.
Bobby April looks like a man who realizes he’s going to get fired.
Oh, god, they’re MOCKING US in the halftime show! Did you see that?!
Alrightythen! Let’s get this second half thread started!!! #Rallycap
Oddly enough I dont feel like the Redskins can move the ball on us unless we blow a coverage.
new thread is up
