NYJ 10, PHI 5 – 2nd Half

Posted: August 29th, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 133 Comments »

Ugh. I knew this game would feature some sloppy play. There are 90 percent backups on the field. The team only had a couple of days to practice since they played on Saturday. Not a formula for great football.

But I didn’t expect this.

The Eagles offense has been awful. Blocking has been an issue. The OTs, Tobin and Bamiro, are struggling. LG Allen Barbre hasn’t played nearly as well as when he was at LT. Nick Foles has really struggled. He hasn’t had much help, but the QB’s job is to make the guys around him better. That hasn’t happened tonight. There have been drops by Ertz, Salas and maybe another player or two.

The defense has done some good things (lots of sacks, 2 takeaways), but has also been sloppy on the back end. The Eagles don’t have good depth in the secondary.

Bennie Logan, Emmanuel Acho and Chris McCoy all played very well. Everette Brown made some plays, but I need to re-watch them to see if that was him or offensive breakdowns.

Who is winning the Safety battle between Wolff and Allen? Kurt Coleman. I kid. Kurt did come up and take a player out with a good hit. Nate and Earl each had some moments, but neither guy flashed so much you say “That’s our starter!”

TE James Casey did leave with a hamstring injury.

    Looked like Poyer played well, but tough to know about a CB on TV

  2. 2 Andy124 said at 8:46 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Time to see Kelly adjust at half time.

    Who whiffed on that PC hit?

    Harbor

  6. 6 GEagle said at 8:49 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Thanks

  7. 7 Andy124 said at 8:48 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Cause we don’t havea enough CBs banged up right now.

  8. 8 TheRogerPodacter said at 8:50 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    yea… though i never really imagined lindley would make the team. with all of the injuries, it was nice to have some guy who had been around for a while…even if he didn’t have much in-game experience. if he’s hurt, i don’t think he has much of a chance of staying on the roster.
    we have better injured CBs than him : P

  9. 9 GEagle said at 8:49 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    There goes another CB

  10. 10 TommyLawlor said at 8:50 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Not good.

  11. 11 Andy124 said at 8:51 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Wasn’t that a Sinatra song? “Oops there goes another cornerback”

  12. 12 GEagle said at 8:50 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Tom you should change Kurt Coleman in your joke and replace it with JJ 🙂

  13. 13 Anders said at 8:50 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Lets trade for Byrd and then pick up every CB released by the Jet, Zona and Hawks

  14. 14 Matt Hoover said at 8:51 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Kurt Coleman the cb? Still better then the starters from last year. I am surprised your not more impressed by Brown, I have gone back with my Dvr and remain impressed, he deserves to be on this roster. Took him time to adjust to the 3-4 but at this point looks better then Graham in coverage and just as good rushing the passer.

  15. 15 GEagle said at 8:52 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    MCCoy playing well makes it tricky for brown

  16. 16 TheRogerPodacter said at 8:52 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    agreed, not sure both of them can make the team. either one PS eligible?

  17. 17 Matt Hoover said at 8:53 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Pretty sure both are

  18. 18 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:51 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Ugh.

  19. 19 GEagle said at 8:51 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    F, I jinxed Poyer….sorry

  20. 20 TheRogerPodacter said at 8:52 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    what in the hell just happened there??? casey matthews and jordan poyer collide with their arms around the guy? and then colt anderson flies in out of nowhere right past him. and he then outruns everyone else… sigh.

  21. 21 Crus57 said at 8:53 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    We should stop the D watching 3 Stooges films pre-game.

  22. 22 TheRogerPodacter said at 8:53 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Long just blew up that play… until he couldn’t tackle.

  23. 23 aub32 said at 8:55 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I need to apologize for all the times I cursed my Madden saying that could never happen in a real game.

  24. 24 TheRogerPodacter said at 8:59 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    hahaha i cannot upvote this enough.

  25. 25 aub32 said at 8:54 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I see why he’s wearing 48. The other LBs wouldn’t let him get a number in the 50s

  26. 26 Ben Hert said at 8:54 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    So that just happened

  27. 27 Arby1 said at 8:56 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    After tonight, Casey Matthews gonna have a whole lot more time to sit
    around the dinner table talking football with the Matthews family

  28. 28 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:56 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Just wanted to point out that these are the back-up back-ups on the JETS OFFENSE. Sad.

  29. 29 Anders said at 8:56 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    We are also down to the 3rd/4th string guys

  30. 30 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:59 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I know. But even the 5th stringers on any defense should know how to tackle.

  31. 31 Anders said at 9:00 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Did you see the Eagles 1st stringer last year?

  32. 32 Dragon_Eagle said at 9:01 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    My point.

  33. 33 Corry said at 8:58 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Um…how did the ref not see the Jet defender offsides there? He freaking stood up in the neutral zone.

  34. 34 Andy124 said at 9:00 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Refs have their 3rd stringers in too?

  35. 35 TheRogerPodacter said at 8:59 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    clay harbor drops a pass : (
    i missed the first half, from the little i’ve read, he didn’t have a good game so far… is that right?

  36. 36 GEagle said at 9:00 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    honestly…he has been horrible

  37. 37 Anders said at 9:00 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    None of the WRs are having a good game

  38. 38 TheRogerPodacter said at 9:01 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    sigh… now momah takes one off his hands.

  39. 39 GEagle said at 9:02 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    he had a decent catch in first half(Momah)..but nothing special

  40. 40 Tumtum said at 9:29 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I missed that.

  41. 41 Andy124 said at 9:01 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Nomah

  42. 42 TheRogerPodacter said at 9:01 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    isnt that the guy from the red sox?

  43. 43 Andy124 said at 9:02 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    That made me laugh.

  44. 44 aub32 said at 9:01 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Nice

  45. 45 aub32 said at 9:02 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Any chance Maehl beats out Sheppard if we keep a 6th WR?

  46. 46 GEagle said at 9:03 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    just thinking how I like Maehl but I think we like Shep

  47. 47 aub32 said at 9:06 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I don’t know. We heard a lot about him in practice, but I haven’t seen much from him in games.

  48. 48 GEagle said at 9:10 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    in fairness he has shown up on ST, and that’s what keeps you here to be developed as a wr

  49. 49 TheRogerPodacter said at 9:03 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    he’s getting a lot of looks in this game. could be a good sign for him

  50. 50 Anders said at 9:07 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I think it is telling that Sheppard was with the 2nd team and Salas and Maehl are with the 3rd stringer, but Sheppard is not out there (might also just been because of the tempo)

  51. 51 aub32 said at 9:13 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I figured that’s because Maehl hasn’t had much time with the team and needs the reps. I wasn’t at every practice. So I trust the coaching staff to make the right call. I just like what I’ve seen from Maehl in this game and the one practice I attended.

  52. 52 GEagle said at 9:28 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    keep in mind chip will do right by him and make sure he gets a chance to put plays on Film if we dont plan on keeping him

  53. 53 Ben Hert said at 9:04 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Great block by Salas

  54. 54 aub32 said at 9:05 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Clay had a nice one too

  55. 55 aub32 said at 9:05 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I so wanted to see big ole 72 run to that pile and help push the pile for a first. Instead he just stands there with his hands on his hips

  56. 56 TheRogerPodacter said at 9:06 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    bwahahaha i had to go back and watch it and you are right. he actually spins in a circle before falling down. lol

  57. 57 GEagle said at 9:05 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I like Tucker

  58. 58 Ben Hert said at 9:06 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Dang, would’ve liked to see Momah try and work for that one if Barkley had thrown it earlier.

  59. 59 aub32 said at 9:08 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Running the TD followed by running the 2 pt conversion. Chip is so innovative. Who knew you could run the ball with the RB near the goal line. Offensive genius at work people.

  60. 60 Andy124 said at 9:09 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    #gimmickoffense

  61. 61 Anders said at 9:09 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I guess we will see a lot of 2 pt conversions this year

  62. 62 TommyLawlor said at 9:16 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    It is fun to see so many running plays in those situations.

  63. 63 aub32 said at 9:19 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I’m smiling just knowing that 3rd & 2 isn’t an automatic passing down.

  64. 64 GEagle said at 9:32 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Marty threw it on 4th and 1…hahaha He got the first down, but Im so sick of that crap that I dont even want to get first downs like that

  65. 65 Anders said at 9:14 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    3rd and 2, Marty throws. Only succeeds because of terrible LB coverage

  66. 66 TheRogerPodacter said at 9:15 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    AHAHAHHAHA oh god. its so bittersweet

  67. 67 GEagle said at 9:16 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Baldii said curry mite be cut lol

  68. 68 Corry said at 9:16 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    And Jamar Chaney was a lock!

  69. 69 aub32 said at 9:16 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    DID HE REALLY!?!

  70. 70 GEagle said at 9:30 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Idiot listed Curry with Poyer as guys “who will make the cuts hard for the coaches”….what a friggin Idiot. Im embaressed for him sometime

  71. 71 Ben Hert said at 9:18 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I feel like I’m seeing a lot of runners lowering their helmet, and not getting called for it. Am I missing something? Thought this was a new rule.

  72. 72 aub32 said at 9:21 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    The fuss over that rule was overblown. The people who were shown what actually would count as a penalty said that there was less than a handful of runs that would have been penalized last season.

  73. 73 Andy124 said at 9:21 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    So who’s our other starting safety?

  74. 74 Anders said at 9:21 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Sims and Wolff or Anderson

  75. 75 Andy124 said at 9:23 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I meant, who do we think will be starting opposite Chung?

  76. 76 Anders said at 9:25 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Allen in short leash

  77. 77 Corry said at 9:26 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Vinny Curry is a bad man.

  78. 78 GEagle said at 9:26 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Curry is a Monster!!!!

  79. 79 A_T_G said at 9:27 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I hate agreeing with Baldi, but there was some good tackling on that drive.

  80. 80 aub32 said at 9:28 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Too bad they came after the first down marker much too often.

  81. 81 A_T_G said at 9:30 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Very true, but if we can count on these guys to make sound tackles if they are pressed into action, we are already leaps and bounds above last year.

  82. 82 GEagle said at 9:30 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    preach

  83. 83 Arby1 said at 9:57 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    OR, if they can make good tackles off the sideline! #12thman

  84. 84 DamonL86 said at 9:28 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    was that a 20 play drive

  85. 85 Tumtum said at 9:28 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Now the Jets and Giants are doing the stupid Yankee whistle…. I hate New York.

  86. 86 TommyLawlor said at 9:30 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    What is that? What’s the point?

  87. 87 Tumtum said at 6:43 AM on August 30th, 2013:

    Well I’m not sure what the point is but they started it in the playoffs last year against the Os. It seems like the jets staff does not get how to use it right. They would play it when someone struck out or comitted an error.. etc. I remember Gary Thorne brought it up once. Don’t remember what it might of been for other than to cause me great affliction.

  88. 88 GEagle said at 9:33 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Bamiro is gonna get Barkley killed

  89. 89 GEagle said at 9:33 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Air Maehl…lol Get it?

  90. 90 GEagle said at 9:33 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Avant woulda made that catch

  91. 91 Anders said at 9:35 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Most likely, but it was underthrown, should have had more air under it

  92. 92 Andy124 said at 9:36 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Ifaeny would have caught it for sure (no, not really) we’d be all like, Whoamah!!!

  93. 93 GEagle said at 9:37 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    i LOL’ed

  94. 94 A_T_G said at 9:39 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    It was much easier to tell who was at fault when the players used to point at each other.

  95. 95 GEagle said at 9:40 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    they held the shit out of out passrushers on that 1st down QB run

  96. 96 Anders said at 9:41 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    They have held the shit out of the Eagles pass rushers this half

  97. 97 Corry said at 9:41 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    This officiating crew is as terrible as Mark Sanchez’s head band.

  98. 98 GEagle said at 9:42 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    such an idiot that dude is…any woman that sleeps with that Baffoon should be stoned

  99. 99 A_T_G said at 9:42 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    To be fair, that one guy held two different Eagles. That has to be tough.

  100. 100 aub32 said at 9:42 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    These are the 4th string refs too. Cut them some slack.

  101. 101 Anders said at 9:43 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Wow Colt Anderson

  102. 102 Corry said at 9:43 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Is there some way to take Colt Anderson’s brain and put it in Nate Allen’s body?

  103. 103 GEagle said at 9:44 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    If so, Lavoy allen would be in a Wheel Chair and Andrew Bynum would be dropping 25pts 15rbs in a sixers jersey

  104. 104 Anders said at 9:45 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Can we just clone Dawkins and keep him for ever young?

  105. 105 GEagle said at 9:46 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Dawkins even manages to get me Jacked up during a AAA comercial

  106. 106 TommyLawlor said at 9:45 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Great idea, Corry.

  107. 107 Arby1 said at 10:00 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    While he’s under the knife, why not add Kurt Coleman’s heart too.

  108. 108 aub32 said at 10:02 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Could we bring back Phillips and just give him Allen’s knees?

  109. 109 Andy124 said at 10:03 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Why are we dicking around? Just give him Dawkins’ everything.

  110. 110 aub32 said at 10:07 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Come on 124. You can’t clone greatness. The best we can hope for is some Franken Safety built from all the parts of failed safeties over the last half decade

  111. 111 GEagle said at 9:46 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Mo Momah Mo Problems!!! says the CBs

  112. 112 Andy124 said at 9:46 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Whoamah!

  113. 113 aub32 said at 9:46 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    MOOOOMAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

  114. 114 aub32 said at 9:47 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Tucker has some scat to him

  115. 115 Daz said at 9:47 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    If Barkley leads us on a game winning drive – can we reopen the QB debate?

  116. 116 aub32 said at 9:48 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    not after that pass

  117. 117 Daz said at 9:49 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    haha – nice, definitive answer there! (I was joking, just in case it wasn’t clear)…

  118. 118 aub32 said at 9:50 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I know. I just couldn’t pass that up. Perfect timing and all.

  119. 119 Andy124 said at 9:49 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Barkley’s arm is too strong.

  120. 120 aub32 said at 9:50 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Momah looks at Sheppard and says “I bet you wish you were 6’8″”

  121. 121 GEagle said at 9:50 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    SHepard looks back and says “Bet you wish you had a roster spot” 🙂

  122. 122 aub32 said at 9:52 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Momah: “So do you” (winks at Maehl) “We all know I have a guaranteed PS spot.”

  123. 123 Corry said at 9:50 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Antonio Dixon and Casey Matthews with a good stop of Everette Brown there.

  124. 124 GEagle said at 9:51 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Ancho better make this team! Been blitzing, hitting, tackling! If Casey makes it and Ancho doesnt I will be pissed

  125. 125 the midatlantic said at 10:21 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Anchovy?

  126. 126 GEagle said at 9:52 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    LETS GO BOYS!!! I wanna win this game!
    …
    Edit: F ME!!!

  127. 127 DamonL86 said at 9:55 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I don’t understand you mean db’s are allowed to hold onto the ball when its thrown to them

  128. 128 aub32 said at 9:58 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Don’t worry. They will ban that soon enough, as soon as Tom Brady says the DB hurt his feelings

  129. 129 Andy124 said at 9:55 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Well, the Chip offense is known for putting points on the board quickly. Taking equal opportunity scoring to an extreme though imo.

  130. 130 aub32 said at 9:55 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    Barkley: “I’m still in this competition. This is a minor set back”

  131. 131 TommyLawlor said at 9:56 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    That could easily be a real quote.

  132. 132 aub32 said at 9:59 PM on August 29th, 2013:

    I know haha, and there will still be talking heads that praise him for keeping his head up. What great intangibles.

  133. 133 eagleyankfan said at 7:24 AM on August 30th, 2013:

    Don’t have good depth in the secondary? Now that’s funny considering the starters at safety….
