The Giants are 0-4. Yikes. The good news? They did score 7 points.
Go Raiders.
Go Chargers.
And Go Eagles!!!

Good, I half expected Vinny Curry to be inactive again.
I’m stocked up on beer. Let’s get this game going!
Well, that was an underwhelming start.
…this is going to be a long afternoon.
Welker has always murdered us, looks like today is going to be more of the same.
Third down defense is so bad…. Might as well rush two and drop everyone else into coverage
I hate that 3-3-5 Nickel D.
All day back there.

replace season with game and that’s how I feel about this one.
The Eagles are losing, whats new?
They aren’t doing it in Philly?
Very early, but the Denver run D is looking like it’s a lot more than just the product of big leads.
Their run D is pretty good, but they have trouble generating a pass rush.
Holy shit! A James Casey sighting!
Wait, we actually signed him? I thought that transaction had turned out to be just a rumor.
He’ll be used more as the season goes along.
Both Dallas and Washington are down 0-7 as well. 7-9 wins the division.
OH jeez…c’mon Celek.
Terrible drop. Gotta have plays like that.
ugh… cant afford that.
You have to catch that
Onside kick.
Really, really bad drop by Celek.
Celek’s hands are becoming more and more an issue. He has to come up with that one.
So much for special teams
Celek such a frustrating guy, I love when he catches it and starts trucking people, that’s awesome, then he goes and drops a critical pass… Between him and Vick I have plenty of love/hate relationships with players on this team.
Been wearing 87 for the last three seasons. I go between pounding my chest in pride and trying to rip my jersey off several times a game.
That’s one way to keep Manning off the field.
This is bad.
omg..
We absolutely cannot afford to have st be a liability for us. This game is unlikely to go our way, but this is the second game in a row with a huge st gaff, we need them to be a strength to be at all competitive.
well that’s one way to keep peyton off he field. Honestly we were going to give up that TD anyway better to get it over with quickly.
LolFipp
ok now can we start going for it on 4th down? field goals are not going to do it.
well, our D gets a rest at least.
Think how rested our D will be!
Fipp flop
The one part of the team I came in to the season with some confidence in…
we were giving up that td to peyton anyway
well at least we get to watch Vick “read” again.
fAke punts and field goals from here on out.
@Anders
I told you Holliday is good. U believe me now?!!
I only really want to watch our offense anyhow.
Yepppp…This one’s not looking pretty. Not that I expected a W, but didn’t think the route would be on this early. 3 and out to start, Charmin soft D on the first drive. Horrible drop by Celek. Now a 105 yard uncontested KO return for a TD. Super!
All day again.
Can’t kick to holiday. Need to pooch like Tamp did in 02 championchip
Way to call the obvious hold zebras.
that’s the type of holding on WR’s that always gets called on us
Brown needs longer spikes
we should be in 4 down mode all game
just have to assume pm is going to score on every possession, and play like you need to too.
its still early
season over.
nah, I was scared like that after shady went down – didn’t look like anything real bad… he’ll walk it off.
well…@@#$!
Oh damn.
Looks like defender just bumped knees with him
Looked like his right knee gave way to me, but we know the turf is a little slippy.
yeah watching replay it doesn’t look serious.
Ok Doc….
Told you.
can we trade for Gordon now?!
I know Tommy said stay away, but on the cheap I’d take Britt as well
he is busy smoking, he wil miss the flight
i love how fans assume that every trade they want is possible.
It’s more realistic than trade for urlakerzzz…
but not as fun to say!
let’s trade for wes welker in time for the second half!
I doubt we can get Gordon. Maybe a Justin Blackmon could be possible if Gamble think he can handle him.
Interesting that we’re going right at the strength of the Denver D.
re: DRC: Gee, somebody must have pointed out the flaws in his game.
well if vick throws it as he breaks instead of waiting for him to break that’s a td, but as we’ve seen from vick anticipation isn’t really his ..thing.
new coach still have red zone problems
Kelce seems to have had a few snaps that nearly went over Vicks head. He needs to be careful with his snaps.
Gotta keep going. That defense WILL wear down with this rushing attack…
Manning only 1 drive in the first quarter, good thing keeping Manning on the sidelines is the key to beating the broncos lol.
please stop kicking field goals
why cant henery boot it out of the endzone at this altitude
Because he can.
Onside kick, please!
seriously, might as well…
seriously, what’s the worst that’ll happen – the broncos will score sooner and you’ll get the ball back?
so why did we hire chippah? Because he lets them kick field goals. I was expecting more fun.. 😉
if only we had a qb
Or TE’s who would hold onto the ball…
Wow. Flashback to highway markers 23 and 24.
Bad toss. Bench that QB.
Manning stinks
True, we should trade Vick for him.
That’s the 3rd time I’ve seen them blitz Boykin.
Wooooohoooooo
A third down stop!
the gods have smiled upon us!
holy shmoly. a 3 and out for broncos?
omg. 3-and-out! Superbowlzzz
cool we get to go for 2 after we score this TD
i need my swinging gate fix for the day.
Got a stop, continue Runmmegeddon.
Incidentally, getting Manning to throw deep is how you get those stops.
and thats why i’m surprised, eagles are playing so far off.
I’m not wanting to bet on him missing throws like that for the rest of the game.
CMOOON
the eagles best defensive series of the year. Thanks to a drop by decker. Lol
thats not even close
Well if there was any time to be running turbo offense…
looked like he made the catch and then the ground rolled it.
make it count
wow. surprised it wasnt overturned.
Wow, I thought that was going to get reversed for sure.
I remembered to give Morelli that envelope this week.
Good man.
But not the sound guy..
A little extra for him next week, methinks
BRWON WAS WIDE OPEN AGAIN
and needs to have his shoes checked again.
Someone get brown some longer cleats
SOMEBODY PLEASE GET THAT MAN A BETTER PAIR OF CLEATS!
Yeah, really.
YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!
All he does is run TDs
Woohoo!!!
let’s do triple stacks for 2
McCoy must have failed to return the ball to the ref one too many times. Wind knocked out is a cover.
Good agility from Kelce avoiding Brown on that catch and run before.
He would make a phenomenal FB.
Kelce as our version of William “the Refridgerator” Perry?
mini-fridge.
I don’t see anything to overturn it. I don’t see anything at all in that pile, but that means nothing to overturn.
horrible throw
Lot of Philly fans in Denver?
Waited to say: RUNMAGEDDON
Nice.
Who is perry riley?
Chip must have Henery in his fantasy league
Gotta like Wolff in support.
Too bad he cant cover
Inc TD
Peyton Manning is plenty good. You don’t need to give him a free 5 yards.
cox sux.
Moreno sucks. Ball should be getting all those carries. /ffb bias
I mean if they’re going to score touchdowns, I really wish they’d get the ball to Decker…
Thornton overran that a little.
our super first round pick cox is disappointing.
where was Thornton going?!
Mathis for DE!
Go for it!
Once again another costly penalty
I don’t think so. I think they were trying to make the pooch easier.
Not that penalty the hold
Necessary penalty to keep Vick alive.
oh. Well nevermind then.
Mathis feels like he’s in great shape and was auditioning for a spot on D.
um…wtf was that??
Interesting decision…
Chip’s time management is worse than AR’s…
What a killer hold…
no bloody going for it! Are the eagles happy to lose by a TD?!! I can already predict that the Broncos will score before the half. This is pitiful.
Chip must think we match up better with Denver than I do. He is playing this conservatively
I think it just changes the equations – if you go for it and pm gets the ball back on the 40, the likelihood of a denver score goes up.
4th and 6 is bold for even Chip I think.
i am so not happy with the playcalling.
OT, love that football fantasy commercial with Harbaugh yelling at the kids. Cracks me up every time.
this is probably the only game of the season when you don’t have anything to lose. But the Eagles play like they’d rather lose ‘niceley’ than losing their face.
so disappointing. I want to lose aggressively. Not punt from the 50.
Well, that deep pass went…
Great Defense
Earl Wolff is playing like Nate Allen- 2012
LolChippah
we cannot cover simple crossing routes
about freaking time.
well we sacked manning. I consider this game a win now for the D
I really hope that stupid play by Moreno is going to wake up the D.
Nice play Ced!
if the Eagles lose this I would like to hear more negative opinions about Chip Kelly. I know it’s his first year but that playcalling is terrible in the NFL.
Yeah, should have gone for it.
And call time outs to save time for a possession
i dont blame him for not wanting to give peyton extra time.
yes. Losing to the broncos with a terrible D and an over the hill QB is certainly cause for that. I wonder why some people hit the post button.
Apparently you don’t get it.
enlighten me.
If you could choose: would you rather end up dating Merril Reese or Ike Reese if you had the chance of dating Megan Fox by just going all in?!
… Someone want to translate this? You’re upset we didn’t got for two is what you’re saying? I think. Gotta work on those metaphors.
That should have been a pushoff too.
why even try to catch that punt?
We are owning the TOP!
Championship! ~notChipKelly
so far I’m not despondent on what our d has come up with – take away the ST touchdown, and we’re doing okay for a maligned d.
We are still losing. Don’t care if it’s by one possession or by 5 in the end.
In other news the cowboys running away with our division.
yes. Losing to the broncos with a terrible D and an over the hill QB is certainly cause for anger.
Apparently you don’t get it.
Enlighten me. Oh wait, that’s not my line. Sorry. Carry on.
That was a Chip shot. 😉
well like I said before if you have an argument that extend beyond. “grr Confirmation bias grr.” I’d love to hear it.

Onside kick!
New thread. http://igglesblitz.com/2013/09/phi-2nd-half/
Gotta think, 14 offensive points allowed int he first half is pretty impressive.
Broncos punching Eagles in the mouth. Very frustrating
Big recievers, who can play, make a difference in the red zone
The Eagles have not had one since Harold Carmichael
Denver is not even playing there best game
