KC 16, PHI 6 – 2nd Half
Posted: September 19th, 2013 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 452 Comments »Ugly 1st half. Turnovers galore. Mike Vick comes crashing back to Earth. And Shady McCoy got hurt late in the half.
The defense has played pretty well, except for some bad 3rd/long coverages. STs was awful early on.
The passing game can’t get going. Blocking is an issue. And the Chiefs have done a great job of blanketing DeSean Jackson. For whatever reason, Vick just isn’t seeing the field well and is making some terrible decisions.
The Eagles are lucky to be down 10 points. They’re still in the game, but they need to get going soon or this will be the 8th straight home loss.
_
how many times to teams come back after 4 turnovers :/
Circumstances might be different if they’re only down 10, but still terrible.
or just how many times a team wins with a -4 turnover ratio, period
Less than 5%, even at home.
At least we know #5 loves us.
The real question is, when are they going to fire Dave Fipp?
That’s a bit harsh. the whole team is playing pretty shitty.
ok Dawkins, change out of the suit and get some pads on
You think Westy’s here too? We might need another RB.
and Runyan?!
The halftime speech is just Dave Fipp staring at the team. They should all feel terrible.
I wish I could double upvote lol
I have Alex Henry and shady in an expensive fantasy league….awesome night
Fabulous. I have Shady too.
at least he doesn’t have a torn ligament/tendon….. yet
Don’t jinx it.
too late 🙁 but for real, I think he will be fine
I am really disappointed with Jason Peters. Vick is having is usual stinker game a year, but I expect more from the arguably best LT in football.
He won’t be firing on all cylinders til like week 5 or 6…needs to be better tho
You think it will only be one game? I’m guessing you think he’ll be benched after this game. Only thing that is logical.
Lol
I asked yesterday when we would see Damaris the weapon…I think I got Plaxico Burressed.
can I get an in game adjustment? WR can’t do a damn thing, Time to go 3TE and unleash Ertz n Casey
Who is this Casey you speak of?
Awesome start.
i can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not!
wow really
snapping the football 101….. kelce/vick missed that class
SHADY!
told you
try dennis Kelly at right guard?
Inactive
next week
Oh my god! Its Shady!
SHADY! please don’t injury yourself
Yeah, if he’s not good for this game i’d rather him stay out.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nvm
No catch
incomplete
and another tipped ball
You think Andy’s jealous right now?
I am assuming we get this back, but at what point do you pull Vick?
after he stinks for another game
It will take more than that.
your probably right
Jolly Ol saint Nick is ready when you are 🙂
waiting in the wings….. like a panther, ready for the killing strike
Lol damn right!!!
I don’t mean permanently, I mean for the rest of this game.
Are the Eagles playing in a mental fog? Just little/no focus tonight.
Fly swatters didnt help
I would trade Vick for Alex right now
Maybe we should let the Chiefs get into 3rd and short situations. We can’t stop them on 3rd and long.
The flat was wide open there.
Andy’s kryptonite — 3rd and short.
they probably don’t practice running on that down and distance
his red krpytonite, the red zone
I just dont see an urgency on offense. Hard to characterize.
We have to try something else on offense. KC isn’t scared of our WR’s
Where are the TEs?
Exactly
who’s james casey?
Shady looks ok
here we go. keep it going
CRAMP!!!!!
Money > product. Man these Thurs nights games are sloppy and hard to watch.
true
I doubt you would chose one of your starting corners to fake an injury.
Money > product. These Thurs nights games are sloppy and hard to watch.
I remember the Dolphins Bills game last year. Horrible offensive football.
Half-time adjustments? Say what? That’s right, Andy doesn’t do those, but maybe Chip does…
I might actually be gaining faith!
The King say the injury was a ‘fake.’ Sure looked like it was sometime out of a UEFA match.
He wasnt set i think
PI?
That was close.
Scary.
Me thinks that still would’ve been picked off
OK, let’s just calm down and score some points, please.
Please stop throwing it near Eric Berry
second that
Add a third.
all you got do is drop it over the top vick
I know right.
GO FOR IT!
No.
SWINGING GATE!
100% guaranteed success!
I think i speak for teehee as well , no.
RUN THE FUCKING BALL!!??!
KC is staying in single high safety and stacking the box… Chips going to take the passing game against that.
I don’t give a shit if they line up in goal line dense, run the damn ball until they stop it, which they have done about two times thus far
Terrible
Man needed the TD to get back in this game. Man Vick has been awful tonight.
Isn’t leading the receivers.
All of Vick’s weaknesses coming out tonight. Turnovers, poor decision-making, holding on to the ball too long, red zone issues.
Two bad throws by Vick in the redzone there. One where the defender was able to step in front and potentially pick that ball off, and the second one where there was the penalty. Even if the WR was not tackled, looked like the safety could have still stepped in front of that one for a pick.
If the Eagles lose this game, how many Eagles’ fans do you think will call for Foles with a kneejerk reaction?
Think there should have been a QB rush in there for a new set of downs…
I’ll take the ugly win here. If Shady had blown out an ACL or something I’d be like welp, lets play for the draft pick lol.
Schemes get yards, players score points. That will never change in the NFL
Henery with ST’s MVP
No it was clearly a horse collar
God our special teams tonight
when it rains it pours, horse collar on henery
The Enforcer.
Two penalties on one tackle. Way to make a statement.
Someone should point out that the eagles are still struggling in the redzone. Chip has not solved that one yet.
He won’t run the ball…don’t care how many people are in the box, they haven’t stopped us…pound the damn rock PLEASE!!
Drunken idiot kicker
we got vanderjagted
If only that worked as well as drunken master kung fu.
lol, Henery with the double personal foul. Someone put him in at safety.
don’t worry, we got 5 of those 15 back!
Announcers are horrendous
Henery is like a honey badger. He just don’t give a shit
Curry!
VINNY CURRY@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VINNY FUCKING CURRY DAMN IT
CURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Regretting activating Curry?
curry just looks pissed
CURRRY FOR GODSAKES WHY WASNT HE ACTIVE
Dayum.
COLE!!!!!!!!!!! exclaimation points all over the place!
Make sure to throw a couple ones in there!!!1!!!11
i did that on my curry post earlier111
Uh oh … 3rd and long
I think Curry abandoned his gap on the sack. I say bench him.
seriously what an undisciplined player
Curry got held. CURRY MAKING PLAYS. FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD WHY WAS HE NOT ACTIVE.
All day. EVERY DAY!!!!
You think that’ll be one of the questions put to Kelly and Davis?
Yes.
Watching my D like a proud Papa who just bought sconces, shedding a tear at his daughters ballet recital. I knew Cary would get in Bowes ass. dude is soft!!!
maybe the plan was to make Curry hungry
Looks as if he’s starving.
hope he doesn’t eat himself *cough* *cough*
I LOVE ME SOME CURRRRRRY
he’s like a bull in a china shop
Imagine if we still had ACHO!
I’m imagining what it’d be like if we ran a 4-3.
Not having Curry active possibly the most puzzling roster decision I’ve seen in ages.
“all he does is rush the passer”…GET EM BUCK!!!!!
I’ll take that all day.
Jamaal Charles on his team and what does AR do? Pass, pass, pass. Thank you Andy.
It’s not like he has a guy like Shady. Then he’d run the ball, right?
This is Andy. Don’t mock me.
Barry Sanders would get 5, 6 carries a game.
YES!
There it is
TD to tie… amazeballzz
Love the people who talk crap…”you would think they deactivated Reggie White”…
…
VINCENT CURRY!!! VINCENT CURRY!!! VINCENT CURRY!!!
Flowers with the HamstingcramppullohI’moknevermind.
Don’t you go after the guy replacing Flowers?
Stopped eating bbq? Not worth it.
UGH
This game is terrible.
Everyone is playing with a nice big turd in their shorts.
Not familiar with that word. Is that the same thing and Turbl?
oh for christ’s sake
I do not trust Henery.
You jinxed him. It’s all your fault. Hang your head in shame young man.
Druken idiot kicker
I don’t know if Shady’s knee is 100%. Doesn’t look as elusive.
I agree, since he’s come back he hasnt been cutting.
Nope.
Really hennery? put it dibs for a new kicker too
Henry has to go
chill chill, little early to give up on mr. henery
really? he’s in trouble.
of course missed fg i can hear the what if excuses already postgame
Nate Allen career game, has a sack and 2 tackles.
Glad our special teams showed up tonight!
When does the NFL start going with Wed games and will they be as horrible as these Thurs night games?
next year
Please no more Tuesday games
Psh. A touchdown and extra point is 7 points. There are 7 days in a week. It’s an omen that NFL should be every day of the week. (No, not serious).
yes more games I can’t watch please. that would be great.
It hasn’t been all bad. Curry looks good an Allen has actually played well…
Cary completely shutdown Bowe. Cox and Thorton showed up. BARWIN is playing..Cole doing some things in the second half
Andy doing his best to do us a solid
Again?
*sigh*
I’m out of expletives to describe this shit with Avery.
gotta make that tackle
AVERY = Jerry rice
looked like the same play as those other long catch and runs
Except mirrored.
Where’s Demeco shoving him to the ground? That’s inside the 5 right?
This is hard to watch.
Show of hands who knew on 2nd and 14 the ball was going to Avery? Everyone? Ok just checking.
Can’t decide if having Barwin over him means Davis knew as well or not. Maybe he’s a better cover option than our corners
Avery here
What an utterly uninspiring performance tonight. I mean, yes, there are definitely some bright spots on the defense. But overall, what an ugly, ugly performance. No sense of urgency. Complete, utter lack of focus on special teams and on offense. Uninspiring goal line calls (2 straight passes on 2nd and 3). Just miserable. ugh.
Tommy, please console me after this awful game
Thursday night games are the worst. Hate ’em.
Don’t worry. We’ve got 10 days of sulking.
But then we get to play against Peyton.
well that’s a plus
Sorry, I meant to say 17 days of sulking.
that high draft pick is looking better and better
Chiefs are even faking injuries on offense…
Gotta slow down Vinny Curry
Drinking game: Drink whenever Avery gets a catch on a drag route and the defense looks astounded.
But I don’t want to die.
I’m hammered
I’m running low.
Running to the liquor store to buy…everything.
That reminds me of the scene in the movie Constantine, where the priest goes to the gas station and dies of drinking too much
Beer sales will skyrocket.
at least the defense will finally get a blue ribbon
down up down, do it
this is where we get our turnover right?
Hate you
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh
Im hoping for the patented AR fourth quarter lead that turns into a loss.
I forgot about that X-factor. We still have a chance!
If they score here, I gotta think the game is over.
Offense just needs motivation
Andy loves that running game…
Shovel pass?
lmao
Shovel pass.
Game over.
so much for Allen’s career game
Did I say that Kendricks sucks?
earlier, yeh
He has so many WTF plays where you wonder what his assignment is and if he is anywhere near in relation to it.
That missed two pt conversion is the difference between a come from behind win and a tie
Damn, that might have been the game right there.
This franchise is exhausting. New coach, same exact awful loss year after year.
Demaris goes down way easy it seems
He’s a scrub.
Special teams to me was the biggest letdown tonight. They have blown any chance the Eagles had to win this game.
Dear NFL Network, I would like not to see all of our horrendous turnovers again.
Sincerely,
Every Eagles fan ever
one of the guys i’m playing against in ff has the chiefs defense… scored 23 points so far.
Worst luck ever
Bring me Johnny Football.
CRAMP!!!!
fine this mofo
more like crap
Serious cramps there Brandon.
now take a shot to DJax over the backup
He’s selling it hard, punching the grass and all.
Punching the grass? Oh, he must really be hurt.
Now he hurt his hand too.
He won’t feel that until the next time the Eagles get a first down.
That made it 112% more believable.
give that man an emmy
Brandon Flowers obviously the designated fall guy.
Let’s just have Peter’s scoot him to the sideline so we can continue playing.
Flowers rubbing it into Jimmy Bama’s face. Lol
Awesome!
holy shit!
wow
HOLY SHIT!
Thank u.
MCCOY!!@!!!!11!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, feeling good!
good job
Now I don’t feel as terrible.
AND Henery made the pat!
Jesus is smiling on the Eagles right now.
Look at that, we ran the ball….Back up In this bitch like WHOA!!!
Stop on D and things will get interesting.
I need a JUGS machine
Bless you, McCoy, bless you…
steely eyes
Eagles have gained about 100 more yards on offense than the Chiefs fwiw.
There’s our ST’s
now we’re talking
Unleash the Curry
Jason Avant’s picture should be in every rule book, under the section ‘if you can touch it you can catch it’!
Take that play from Washington… You know, the pitch?
call the wolff, he’ll be there directly
Nate might manage to slow him up though
Great reference!
Graham sighting, thats whats up.
B dot GRIZZLE!!!!
Oh…
Allen for MVP
…
No way
Avery…
Good throw but crappy coverage.
yeah that was on allen
Ah yes third and long no problem
The defense is negating everything good that they’ve done tonight with their awful job on 3rd and long.
Freakin’ A. You know Alex Smith is NOT going to throw it deep. Quit giving up the underneath crossing routes!!!
We can only stop them on 3rd down when its 3 and short for some reason.
how is that not a foul on the runner?
Complete spearhead.
i was thinking the same thing
only if its outside the tackle box.
isnt that a penalty on the RB?
No. In between the tackles it’s still legal to lower your head.
Do not get your hopes up. It’s cock up time for our D…
come on….
When it counts the defense is failing.
2 weeks in a row.
Fire Juan!
D just checked out.
making it easy on them.
Is it possible for someone on D to make a clutch play
The god damn full-back…
yuck, getting run over, we cant give up a score.
Why does it feel like our defense is in prevent mode right now???
Lack of talent…
oooo 3rd and short….
big 3rd down
i’ll take it over 3rd and long
yay for wasted time outs
wont be a waste if they get this first.
apparently I had too much faith in our D…will go back in the corner now…
Prepare for Avery with our bumrape
ugh
Game is over if they don’t get off the field.
Imagine this offensive performance against San Diego last week… or Denver next week.
blitzing the corner on 3rd and short….
Sconces failed me when it counted most….
wtf is a gigabyte
1024 megabytes.
No clue. Announcers don’t make sense.
Mayock made a comment that Andy Reid was high on Alex Smith’s football IQ. Andy said Smith had a lot of “gigabytes” up there. Now Mayock won’t shut the fuck up about it.
King of spewing pointless information because he likes a comment.
sigh, this team
pathetic
bad tackling, jesus that was bad
That’s alright, don’t tackle. Not like we’re trying to win or anything.
Is it too early to hope for a high draft pick?
7 minute drive already unreal
How come Andy could never ice a game like this when he coached the Eagles?!
He didn’t get to go up against our defense?
Nice job. Started at the 5 freaking yard line.
Thanks demeco
Where the hell was that guy telling andy to run the ball for the last 14 years?
Minnesota, until they fired him for sucking as a HC
Maybe the hype machine will give it a rest for a few weeks. Still a bad team
Hype machine is over this team is so sloppy
Nope, too many haters lying in wait to jump all over this.
edit, reread… you said hype machine not just media in general
How will they convert this 3rd down? Pass across the middle maybe
On its best day this defense is almost mediocre. If the special teams craps the bed and the offense slows down, it becomes a 1 win team.
Dear D…just one turnover right now would be very timely
doesnt even matter, 2 scores puts this out of reach.
MISSTHEFGMISSTHEFGMISSTHEFG!
Worth a shot.
only thing worse than what we just saw…sticking around for NFL network’s post game coverage
Guaranteed prediction that the Eagles don’t win another game this season.
nice
…greatest call ever!
God what a slopfest. Good thing I skipped class for this shit.
nate Allen could have made up for his bad season with one bloody pass breakup to avery on that last drive. But then he realised he’s just Nate Allen…
Everybody but the center. HAH
even the referee is making fun of us now
Seriously, that was the quote of the night.
lol “testing testing, hello microphone”.
rofl, who’s mic is open? LOL
Henery is going to “cost” us another with that missed field goal.
or Vick, or Damaris, or take your pick…
NFL Network is retarded
Alright good. I’m done here.
haha, that was great.
was Nate Allen mic’d up?
lol
Vick apparently learned nothing from the fly swatters.
big gain negated by a hold, AWESOME
We can do 4th and 20 right? Mcnabb’s in the house!
Where’s Freddy?
sigh…
Game.
Mayock is a turd
where is the people’s champ when you need him
Foles please.
Wow.
I’m glad we don’t play again for 10 days. This game has the stink of 2012 on it.
what a sloppy game. Going to Denver – scary.
Well it will be over a year for our next home win
This game was on the players. Piss poor execution all around
That can be the DGR for this week.
This season is going to spiral out of control pretty quickly.
Another home game, another L. Team is almost better off on the road.
When am I going to stop wasting money on this Crap? Trade any player over the age of 27, and get as many draft pics as possible. Turnover everything lol but the young defense lol…just keep adding to it
Todd got old fast, looks terrible.
We’ll stop when someone forms an E.A. – a 12 step group called Eagles Anonymous
Herremans can go
Too bad fans had to watch such slop. This game ‘watchability’ was a D.
Kelce and Vick were the worst players on the field…Nate owes them dinner
Today yeah.
Nice missed call by the ref’s on Charles’ leading with the crown. Had they thrown the flag, maybe we aren’t down by two scores. Igg’s played terrible, looked like an andy reid coached team, but that was a blown call.
leading with the crown is legal between the tackles.
You might be right, but I thought it was questionable. We shall see if the league makes a comment, no excuse for the entire team, they didn’t deserve to win.
It’s a lot easier to not feel completely crappy when the offense is fun to watch. Tonight that was definitely not the case. That was a miserable showing
I guess this is the ugly truth of the Eagles.
We need another WR. The story of this game is just how hard most of Vick’s throws had to be. Very few people could make that 20 yard throw across his body to Avant like that, and most of Vick’s tries weren’t as successful.
Too late to trade for Josh Gordon?
Kenny Britt?
…or run more TE sets?
Agreed.
Cleveland will trade you Joe Banners kids for drAft picks
Vick’s not a good enough QB, and now he looks gimpy whenever he runs too. The defense is full of holes. I believe that’s exactly what you called coming into the season, Tommy.
Our O line is unexpectedly bad at pass protection, too. That one’s kind of surprising me. Herremans was showing some leakage last year, but his decline seems to have picked up speed.
Oh, gawd, give the Chiefs some credit. They played awesome defense out there.
One more time watching this offense stink.
I still think its unprofessional for them to declare the chiefs winners already
Next play – holding in the end zone for a safety
Now Vick’s broken too.
Justin Houston = Lawrence Taylor against us.
7 is who we thought he was, when under duress, he regresses to bad mike.
4.35am here in Ireland, in hindsight not a great idea to stay up for this.
Ralph Nader made a documentary about this game, its called “unwatchable at any hour”
It’s 11:35 here on the east coast and I also think it was not a great idea to stay up for this.
I let my boy stay up until 9:30pm on a school night for the game. Maybe that was not a great idea.
This has been a dumpster fire of a game.
I wouldn’t huddle around that if I were homeless.
At least you can warm your hands around a dumpsterfire.
Vick, Damaris, Henery all very disappointing tonight
KELCE! TODD!!! Riley!!
Riley for sure. Very frustrating.
a regular crapfest
two weeks in a row, the place kicker was noticeable, and not for the right reasons.
I liked how Curry was disruptive and living in the backfield, so naturally they took him out.
this wasn’t a “growing pains” game. we beat ourselves with stupid mistakes that pro players shouldn’t make. defense wasn’t perfect but they played more than well enough to win this game. lost the turnover battle, lost the game, simple as that. mcnabb got his when he returned with washington, reid’s going to get his. at least its not a loss against anyone in the nfc east.
You know what, getting an ankle injury is no god damn excuse for putting the ball on the ground. As soon as Vick gets a booboo, he acts like the ball is no longer his responsibility. Show some toughness, hang onto the ball.
I think I might need some anger management after this game
I’m going to fight a chiefs fan…who let these BLEEPS in our house? UGH!!!!!!!!
Teddy Bridgewater?
we won’t be bad enough for that
And if we were, it’d be because we gave up five sacks on a routine basis. Bad for the new guy.
gotta believe Cleveland is “all in” for Bridgewater
Andy saw that coming. I watched him smile before it hit him.
silver lining: shady’s injury wasn’t serious
I can sleep on that note. Goodnight everyone.
for real, if he goes down, not sure there is anything to watch this year.
So we trade him for a 1st round pick now?
don’t even joke
I get extra sarcastic when the Eagles lay a turd like this.
know how you feel
Kelly needs to set the tone. henery cut before breakfast tomorrow, Damaris(deactivated) replaced by Boykin on ST…Barbe and Kelly get some of Todd’s snaps. Foles practice reps go up 20%…Vinny Curry needs to be on the field every single 3rd down
Well…at least we aren’t Browns fans.
At least they didn’t have false hope 🙂
I don’t know. I think I’d rather false hope than never having hope.
To be serious for a second, the hopelessness of the Browns’ fanbase over the last however many years is truly pitiable.
Riley Cooper has two catches, out of seven attempts. Not all of them were bad passes, you know. Most of them were hard, and the two catches were relatively easy underneath stuff the defense was content to give up. He really has had a bad day.
Picture Bradley Cooper in silver lining playbook….ME right now!!!
What would you think if the Eagles got Josh Gordon in Cleveland’s fire sale?
Depends on what they gave up. This defense needs a big talent upgrade.
he’s a WR… lots of talent, but some issues. Suspended the first 2 games of the season for substance abuse policies
I know. I’m saying, it depends on what the Eagles gave up in order to land Gordon. If they have to give up a high pick, that’s potentially a defensive player in the draft. Something that we likely need to get better on that side of the ball.
Yeah, might be worth investigating though
So, after week 4 we’ll probably be 1-3 and underdogs to the vaginas… potentially 1-4 coming up. At what point do you admit that next year is more important than this year?
I guess the question will become… is this the 2010 Vikings game equivalent. Only time will tell.
Ok Tommy see if you can dig into this one.
ESPN reports 11 pass deflections for Vick tonight on 30 attempts.
I did some poking around and cannot find any recent games close to this and the ones that are ‘kinda close have more than 40 attempts. It appears we were just treated to a historically bad performance as far as ball placement is concerned.
So 11 deflections, at least 2thrown away and 2 picked off? That is half of his attempts never getting close to a receiver.
