    So did the Buccs!

    LETS GO BIRDS!

    “This page is in Russian. Would you like to translate it?”
    thanks a bunch, google chrome. i think i got this.

  4. 4 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:03 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    oddly enough, there is a lot of russian text, though. O_o

  5. 5 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:04 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    bah. gotta get rid of that ball Foles.

  6. 6 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:05 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    pretty lackluster showing on offense so far : / here’s hoping the D/ST can pick up some slack!

  7. 7 T_S_O_P said at 1:06 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Come on oline

  8. 8 Corry said at 1:06 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That could have started better.

  9. 9 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:06 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Need to get one good shot in on Romo early.

  10. 10 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:09 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Yeah!!

  11. 11 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:10 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    was that meco? niiiice

  12. 12 GEAGLE said at 1:11 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Yes..

  13. 13 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:10 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Fipp Flop

  14. 14 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:10 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    looked like we had too many men on the field and had to burn a timeout. somebody was trying to run off the field.

  15. 15 GEAGLE said at 1:10 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Meeeeeeco!!!!!! DEFENSE!! defense,,,,DEFENSE!!!!

  16. 16 OregonDucker said at 1:11 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Wow!

  17. 17 GEAGLE said at 1:12 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Meeeeeeeco-la(ricola) lol

  18. 18 Corry said at 1:11 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    They must have been expecting a fake because that was the starting D out there.

  19. 19 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:13 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Or, since it happens so infrequently, they forgot what happens on 4th down.

  20. 20 xeynon said at 1:12 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    We need to upgrade the return game. Damaris Johnson makes up for his lack of explosiveness with bad judgment.

  21. 21 Anders said at 1:12 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That was a good decision. Dont risk them downing it on the 1 yard

  22. 22 xeynon said at 1:21 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Chance of it bouncing into the end zone is higher than the chance of it being downed on the one. And bringing a kickoff out from 7 yards deep is always a bad idea unless your name is Patrick Peterson or Devin Hester.

  23. 23 ACViking said at 1:13 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Reno Mahe had great judgment.

    Hard to find the combo you want, apparently

  24. 24 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:14 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    foles is holding the ball a bit too long….

  25. 25 Corry said at 1:15 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Press man coverage on the outside. Hopefully Chip adjusts.

  26. 26 GEAGLE said at 1:16 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    TEs gotta work the middle of the field and free us up

  27. 27 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:16 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    more bunch sets?

  28. 28 Corry said at 1:16 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Yeah, rub routes. Nick Foles running lol

  29. 29 GEAGLE said at 1:14 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Cooper gets involved…shocker lol

  30. 30 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:15 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    hahahahahah running qb

  31. 31 GEAGLE said at 1:15 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Look at the wheels on Folesy!!!

  32. 32 ACViking said at 1:16 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    No one better in NFL at getting what they see to their feet

  33. 33 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:16 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Still holding that ball a long time. Gonna be an issue all day.

  34. 34 GEAGLE said at 1:16 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Relax with the doom n gloom

  35. 35 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:17 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    bryce brown gets tackled by the guy who always gets maclin down. lol i kid i kid

  36. 36 GEAGLE said at 1:17 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Pretty throw by foles

  37. 37 Corry said at 1:17 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    We have to do something about those chalk lines tripping players.

  38. 38 ACViking said at 1:18 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    as expected, man coverage.

    test for Foles

  39. 39 Anders said at 1:20 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    “noddle arm” Foles just slightly overthrew Brown. Was great throw if it had been complete

  40. 40 ACViking said at 1:20 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    And if your uncle was your aunt?

    Agree.

  41. 41 Anders said at 1:26 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    what I meant was that he threw him open even if he was covered

  42. 42 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:18 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    nice job by the O and ST flipping the field.

  43. 43 ACViking said at 1:20 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    For two crappy defenses, this game looks — so far — like a game from the Black and Blue Division, circa 1970.

  44. 44 TommyLawlor said at 1:21 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Rivalry games get weird.

  45. 45 GEAGLE said at 1:21 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Love these type of strugles

  46. 46 GEAGLE said at 1:21 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Back em up!!!!!

  47. 47 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:21 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    damn. that ones probably on us

  48. 48 GEAGLE said at 1:22 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Like the way our front 7 looks…hungry!!!

  49. 49 ACViking said at 1:22 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Watch out for the screen.

  50. 50 GEAGLE said at 1:23 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    fiery sconces

  51. 51 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:23 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    earl wolff nicely done blitz

  52. 52 Corry said at 1:23 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That’s Earl Wolff, Aikman…

  53. 53 xeynon said at 1:23 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Doug Free cannot block Fletcher Cox. Let’s hope the Cowboys coaches don’t realize that.

  54. 54 ACViking said at 1:24 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Atlanta TD off fumble result of 2 safeties making the play

  55. 55 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:24 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    dammit. the slant pattern!

  56. 56 Corry said at 1:24 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    3rd and Long…Dallas had us right where they wanted us.

  57. 57 BlindChow said at 1:24 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    3rd & short, we get a stop. 3rd & long, conversion.

  58. 58 Baloophi said at 1:25 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I wonder if we should just jump off-sides on the next 3rd and long so we can get in a more favorable position…

  59. 59 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:25 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    dallas going empty set to spread out our D

  60. 60 ACViking said at 1:25 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Boykin needs to use Side Line as his friend there

  61. 61 Andy124 said at 1:25 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Good defense turf.

  62. 62 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:26 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    It owed us one for tripping Bryce.

  63. 63 Baloophi said at 1:26 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    It’s how it thanks us for getting rid of McNabb.

  64. 64 GEAGLE said at 1:27 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Worms no longer feel persecuted

  65. 65 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:26 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    i dont understand how other teams keep getting away with this. play clock hits 0….. still at 0…… call a timeout and they get it.

  66. 66 ACViking said at 1:26 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Early Curry siting

  67. 67 Baloophi said at 1:27 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Eagle Curry also the most expensive and disgusting Indian dish…

  68. 68 ACViking said at 1:27 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Just had Indian on Friday.

    No better food — the place is always empty, though.

  69. 69 Baloophi said at 1:28 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Did you get some naan? Makes for a great utensil…

  70. 70 ACViking said at 1:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    NAAN bread . . . makes it all finger food.

  71. 71 shah8 said at 1:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That’s my experience too! I had this awesome Persian place near my place where there aren’t too many Iranians living there, but nobody ever went there, other than me! Same with a not as good Indian place when I go for buffet weekends.

  72. 72 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:28 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    DEMECO!!!!!

  73. 73 ACViking said at 1:28 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Davis moving D-lineman around on almost every snap.

    Got caught moving at the snap

  74. 74 GEAGLE said at 1:28 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Meeeeeeco-la!!!!!

  75. 75 Andy124 said at 1:28 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Meco making plays.

  76. 76 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:29 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    PHEW

  77. 77 GEAGLE said at 1:29 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Good D

  78. 78 Corry said at 1:29 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    …I’m actually surprised they didn’t convert that.

  79. 79 Andy124 said at 1:29 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Watch the fake.

  80. 80 ACViking said at 1:29 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Was that Greg Lloyd?

    Oh, I mean Demeco?

  81. 81 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:30 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    thanks to a crappy punt, our field position isn’t awful

  82. 82 T_S_O_P said at 1:30 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Mere flip flopping. Let’s go O

  83. 83 xeynon said at 1:31 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Awful decision by Garrett. Unless you’re protecting a lead late in the 4th quarter, or it’s 4th and really long, you should always go for it inside the opponent’s 40 yard line.

  84. 84 Baloophi said at 1:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I think with Botox Jerry as his boss, he’s even more prone than the average NFL coach to play risk-averse.

  85. 85 ACViking said at 1:31 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Kelly — and Foles — need to prove today, against a B-A-D defense that Kelly’s scheme works against MAN COVERAGE.

    A must.

  86. 86 Crus57 said at 1:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Isn’t that more a function of the players ability to win 1vs1, than the scheme as a whole?

  87. 87 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:33 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    it will always come down to execution, regardless of the scheme

  88. 88 BlindChow said at 1:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    There are ways to scheme players open, such as timing routes and bunch sets.

  89. 89 Andy124 said at 1:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    We need to dominate these backups in the front 7. Let’s get some runs and some TE completions over the middle.

  90. 90 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:33 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    holy shit foles with a nasty stiff arm

  91. 91 Andy124 said at 1:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Love that stiff arm.

  92. 92 Andy124 said at 1:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Sloppy football early.

  93. 93 Corry said at 1:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I’m not liking this play calling. I’m not sure if it’s the execution or the plays.

  94. 94 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    that was similar to the screen last game, but it just seemed… rushed this time.

  95. 95 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:35 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    damn. foles just a hair too slow! lol

  96. 96 bwin29 said at 1:35 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    This is UGLY.

  97. 97 ACViking said at 1:35 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Is Lincoln Field really that big a problem?

  98. 98 Andy124 said at 1:35 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I asked for more running and more TE emphasis. I got neither.

  99. 99 Baloophi said at 1:36 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    It’s my fault… I asked for sloppy play and lots of punts.

  100. 100 Andy124 said at 1:36 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Here and I thought it was because I didn’t yell my request loudly enough.

  101. 101 xeynon said at 1:35 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Nothing working on offense. We really need receivers who can make a defense pay for playing press man coverage.

  102. 102 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:36 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    maybe we should go heavy on TE sets?

  103. 103 Baloophi said at 1:38 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Reading you loud and clear: more of this guy!

  104. 104 shah8 said at 1:37 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Desean Jackson has to sit in the hole, announcers. He can’t really work back without going back into coverage.

  105. 105 GEAGLE said at 1:37 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I was just offered Trent Richardson, Percy Harvin and Vincent brown for shady and Blackmon…like really? Wtf is wrong with people?

  106. 106 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:38 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    its a madden-style FF trade! haha

  107. 107 GEAGLE said at 1:40 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Like insanity….as if I build a 6-0 juggernaut as the leagues defending champ making dumb trades like that…

  108. 108 Crus57 said at 1:38 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Roger, is it time you adjusted your pants situation?

  109. 109 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:39 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    i’m trying. started last drive right before the punt (i don’t think pajamas counted as ‘pants’)

    i’m not helping the offense either way, though. : /

  110. 110 xeynon said at 1:39 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Cowboys obviously trying to set themselves up in 3rd and long so they can take advantage of our dime defense.

  111. 111 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:39 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  112. 112 Andy124 said at 1:40 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Think they’re that smart?

  113. 113 Corry said at 1:40 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    It almost worked.

  114. 114 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:40 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    man. theyre getting REAL close to converting these 3rd downs…

  115. 115 Baloophi said at 1:41 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    It’s the “bend, but don’t break until a critical point in the game” defense.

  116. 116 GEAGLE said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Apparently you missed the past two games lol

  117. 117 GEAGLE said at 1:41 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Defense keeps getting off the field..close is irrelevant in a game of inches

  118. 118 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    don’t get me wrong, i’m not complaining! : P

  119. 119 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:41 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    djax on the punt return, fair catch. think they are punishing damaris or just trying to make something happen?

  120. 120 Corry said at 1:41 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I think they’re trying to spark the offense. They’ve been fairly flat.

  121. 121 Baloophi said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That felt like “make something happen.” If he had taken it to the house the “keep punting back and forth” to set up this situation would’ve seemed like genius. Actually, that hold is what forced the fair catch.

  122. 122 GermanEagle said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Would the eagles had points on the scoreboard with Vick under center?

  123. 123 ToastJenkins said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    negative points, likely.

  124. 124 xeynon said at 1:45 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I think it’s likely Vick would have been able to hurt the defense by scrambling but wouldn’t have any more luck passing. The main problem is that the receivers aren’t getting open.

  125. 125 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    holding on the punting team while the ball is in the air? thats a new one…

  126. 126 Baloophi said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    It was the gunner. Probably concerned because DJax was back there.

  127. 127 xeynon said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I know it’s early, but Cole Beasley has a chance to be one of the all timers among hateable NFC East opposing players. Scrappy, undersized white slot receiver AND Cowboy? That’s two major tools right there.

  128. 128 Crus57 said at 1:43 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Chad Hall, 2013 model.

  129. 129 ToastJenkins said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I’d have bet you good money the score wouldnt be 0-0 at the end of the first quarter.

  130. 130 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    wtf coop??! you are only good at blocking and you don’t block that guy?!?!

  131. 131 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:43 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    is it possible to call too many screens? defense seems to know its coming

  132. 132 Corry said at 1:43 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Man this is just HORRIBLE execution. They can’t get anything going because of just lousy mistakes.

  133. 133 xeynon said at 1:43 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That was one of the worst screen passes I’ve ever seen.

  134. 134 bwin29 said at 1:44 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Every play looks broken.

  135. 135 shah8 said at 1:45 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    This is dispiriting.

  136. 136 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:46 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Why? Tied after one quarter in a divisional game. No worries.

  137. 137 shah8 said at 1:49 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    A lot of this is just that this is generally a bad game ruined by injuries on both sides.

  138. 138 shah8 said at 1:52 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Defense is making me happy. Execution seems to be good. Sort of game so far that makes me think the defense will make their way somewheres near respectability.

  139. 139 OregonDucker said at 1:45 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    This stadium is CURSED!

  140. 140 GermanEagle said at 1:45 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    My prediction of 2-0 is still in the running. Lol

  141. 141 TommyLawlor said at 1:46 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Both offenses look very lost today. Odd game.

  142. 142 Baloophi said at 1:47 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Yeah, here’s what some hack wrote a couple days ago:

    “There is a part of me that wonders if this could be one of those odd games where all signs point to a shootout and then for some reason the game is actually a defensive struggle.”

  143. 143 Andy124 said at 1:46 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    12 called passes to 5 called runs? C’mon now.

  144. 144 Crus57 said at 1:46 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    was 5 and 5 earlier. Pass heavy since then, though a lot of screens.

  145. 145 Baloophi said at 1:46 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Silver lining: D is holding on, somehow. Remember, this team dropped 48 on the Broncos.

    bah. can’t miss those tackles…

    Oh Berwin…

  148. 148 Baloophi said at 1:49 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Oh, Wesley…

  149. 149 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:49 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    at least the D is getting some good pass rush so far this game

  150. 150 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:50 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    CURRY!!!

  151. 151 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:50 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    CURRY!

  152. 152 Andy124 said at 1:50 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Defense!

  153. 153 GEAGLE said at 1:50 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Curry just brought the spice!!!

  154. 154 T_S_O_P said at 1:51 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    This is getting monotonous to type, but here goes. let’s go O

  155. 155 xeynon said at 1:51 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Two of the best offenses and two of the worst defenses in the NFL, so of course it’s 0-0 in the second quarter and neither offense can do squat. I’ll never figure this league out.

  156. 156 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:52 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    both teams were sick of being called terrible defenses. so they schemed to be so bad on offense that both defenses would move up in the ranks.

  157. 157 Crus57 said at 1:52 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    First shootout I’ve seen where both teams brought blanks.

  158. 158 Baloophi said at 1:55 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    For the next commercial break…

    obligatory philly cheesesteak comment

  161. 161 Baloophi said at 1:53 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Good call. Going the extra mile, huh, Fox?

  162. 162 Anders said at 1:53 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Curry has gotten a lot of playing time today.

  163. 163 GEAGLE said at 1:58 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    And the cowboys haven’t scored a point…it’s a beautiful thing mate

  164. 164 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:53 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    damn… running game going nowhere today

  165. 165 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:54 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    there you go Coop!

  166. 166 Andy124 said at 1:54 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    WTG Coop!

  167. 167 T_S_O_P said at 1:54 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Super doper cooper

  168. 168 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:54 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    too much dancing shady

  169. 169 xeynon said at 1:54 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Now that’s what Riley Cooper gives you as a receiver.

  170. 170 GEAGLE said at 1:57 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Riley’s predictable recent emergence doesn’t look very good for Vick considering he made Coop look like the worst WR on the planet

  171. 171 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:55 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    turf gets another tackle. damn!

  172. 172 Andy124 said at 1:55 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Big Receivers Matter

  174. 174 GEAGLE said at 1:55 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Another great drive by the defense..
    …
    Cowboys brought the beast out of Trent Cole…continues to play strong against the run, but his pass rush isn’t M.I.A…he evenly was inexplicably able to get tight coverage 20 yards down field on Witten forcing Romo to throw it away
    ..
    And then we sprinkled some curry on romo…punt that chicken!!!

  175. 175 Andy124 said at 1:55 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Catch that!!!

  176. 176 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:56 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    hey! some good punt coverage! i’ll take it.

  177. 177 xeynon said at 1:56 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Foles has got to make that throw. If you’re accuracy is your calling card you can’t miss on something like that.

  178. 178 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:56 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    looked like he threw it sidearm for some reason. weird.

  179. 179 Dragon_Eagle said at 1:56 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I see #21 and I’m thinking Mmmbop.

    Oral ways think Eric Alln

  181. 181 Baloophi said at 2:00 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I always think “blackjack.”

    Maybe that’s a problem…

  182. 182 shah8 said at 1:56 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    First turnover wins this game.

  183. 183 Anders said at 1:57 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That was always true, now its just a defensive battle

  184. 184 ACViking said at 1:56 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Twice Lincoln Field has tackled Eagles RBs

  185. 185 GermanEagle said at 1:58 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    If an Alien would watch the Eagles for the first time today he would think Philly has the no. 3 defense and the no. 32 offense in the NFL.

  186. 186 Baloophi said at 1:59 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    But he would know Philly is famous for cheesesteaks.

  187. 187 Crus57 said at 2:00 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    And the Rocky theme.

  188. 188 GermanEagle said at 2:03 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    He’d be at Jim’s steak by now.

  189. 189 Baloophi said at 2:05 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Good call.

  190. 190 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:59 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    trent cole having a good game stopping the run so far

  191. 191 GEAGLE said at 2:01 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    He is even getting some good rush today…on the last drive he inexplicably was able to shadow Witten 20yards down field forcing romo to throw it high and away….his run defense is always there, but the rivalry seems to brought the beast out of trent

  192. 192 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:02 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    no shit? i missed him in coverage on that play. nice!

  193. 193 GEAGLE said at 2:04 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    We all know what number Trent wears by now, but I had to double check on that play because I thought my eyes were deceiving me

  194. 194 Baloophi said at 2:02 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Possible nickname for this one in the pantheon of Eagles’ games?

    “The Fair Catch Game.”

  195. 195 GEAGLE said at 2:05 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    “The day the defense stood still” game

  196. 196 T_S_O_P said at 2:03 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Over under on 3 first downs on this drive?

  197. 197 xeynon said at 2:03 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    We clearly have the better punter named Jones. Hopefully he can eventually win this punt off and get us close enough to kick a field goal after our offense stalls.

  198. 198 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:05 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    they said he has a bad foot today too.

  199. 199 Dragon_Eagle said at 2:05 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    What is up with the running game today?

  200. 200 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:05 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    i want to see nick foles keep the ball on one of these plays. they are totally not worried about the QB keeping the ball. even if he only picks up 3-4 yards, i’ll take it.

  201. 201 shah8 said at 2:11 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Lots of bad hits.

  202. 202 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:06 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    nick foles not looking like a fedex air player of the week right now! lol

    I haven’t seen this much vomit on the field since our Super Bowl.

    You didn’t watch last season, then?

  205. 205 Baloophi said at 2:09 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I had erased it from my memory banks until just now. Thanks, Crus57.

  206. 206 Crus57 said at 2:11 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I didn’t want you confused over why Andy Reid was suddenly shorter and cleanshaven.

    Ha! I assumed a Subway diet or something…

  208. 208 GEAGLE said at 2:06 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    FOles delivered that ball in a tight window sorrounded by 3 defenders…….Avant can’t stop that ball.

  209. 209 jshort said at 2:07 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    don’t like this field position

  210. 210 GermanEagle said at 2:07 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Foles. Is. Not. Good.

    Today…

  211. 211 GEAGLE said at 2:12 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Maehl and his WR haven’t done him many favors either….keep battling and we will eventually settle down. Long game…
    …
    Love to see a defensive battle for once..
    …
    No matter how good or bad FOles becomes it won’t always be pretty. Sure it’s awesome to see him light opponents on fire…but it’s equally important t see him keep his poise in tough times, and learn to gut out and grind out a tough win…..

  212. 212 shah8 said at 2:07 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    My back is slumped even further. That was seriously lame set of downs.

  217. 217 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:12 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    we just missed a government shutdown joke here

  218. 218 Baloophi said at 2:10 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That might have been the longest play from scrimmage today.

  219. 219 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:12 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    come on defense! cut out this crap!

  220. 220 GEAGLE said at 2:13 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    BRAMA BULL BARWIN hit Romo good!!! Romo is flirting with int territory they way he is starting to force passes under pressure

  221. 221 Andy124 said at 2:14 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Would be a good time for a turnover.

    Looks to me like Howie and gamble productions did a solid job of scouting with Brad,Barwin,Cary

  228. 228 BlindChow said at 2:16 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Ugh, I’m getting the feeling the only way we score is a defensive touchdown.

  229. 229 Crus57 said at 2:17 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That’s twice we’ve had someone flying across the kicker or punter just as they hit it, surprised we’ve not blocked something yet.

  230. 230 GermanEagle said at 2:17 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    If we had Philip Rivers we would be up 21-3 by halftime.

  231. 231 Insomniac said at 2:18 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I think everyone would rather have Keenan Allen over Riley Cooper.

  232. 232 ACViking said at 2:17 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Tommy Lawlor . . . another disappointing non-shut out afternoon

  233. 233 GermanEagle said at 2:23 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Why? The Eagles haven’t scored yet…

  234. 234 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:17 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    ok offense, lets get some points before halftime!

  235. 235 ACViking said at 2:18 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Maybe it’s time for Matt Barkley?

  236. 236 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:18 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you GOTTA make that throw Foles!

  237. 237 BlindChow said at 2:18 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Figures.

  238. 238 GEAGLE said at 2:19 PM on October 20th, 2013:

  241. 241 BlindChow said at 2:20 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Finally a Foles keeper!

  242. 242 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:20 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    hey there we go, finally let Nick keep one. keep doing it, its an easy 5-6 yards each time.

  243. 243 GermanEagle said at 2:22 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Foles. Is. Terrible.

    Today..

  244. 244 xeynon said at 2:22 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    The Eagles’ receivers have not been very good, but there is no question Foles hasn’t been sharp today. If he wanted to make a statement that he should be the starting quarterback even after Vick gets healthy he’s not doing a very good job of it.

  245. 245 planetx1971 said at 2:22 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    no way in the world i thought we’d look like this on offense!!

    Facetiousness is strictly forbidden in this space, AC.

  250. 250 OregonDucker said at 2:23 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Foles’ pulled groin must be affecting his leg work.

  251. 251 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:25 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    whats going on with that? i hadn’t heard anything about an injury until just before the game

  252. 252 shah8 said at 2:26 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Was on the injury report midweek.

  253. 253 GEAGLE said at 2:27 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    This dates back to pre Bucs game, he was on the injury report around weds or Thursday going into the Bucs game for his groin….I don’t buy the injury excuse…just needs to settle in.

  254. 254 GEAGLE said at 2:23 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Have you guys ever watched an NFL game before? How traumatized are we? It’s unbearable that the first sign of adversity I have to read all this doom and gloom…as if we have never seen a hard fought defensive struggle. I don’t get it. It’s a long game, of momentum, we are down 3 points to our rival, and everyone is dejected? Get hype, waive your rally towels, and battle with your birds!!!!!!

  255. 255 BlindChow said at 2:26 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Hard to rally behind the incompetence we’re seeing today on offense.

  256. 256 GEAGLE said at 2:30 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Lol must be a long time since you have seen a defensive struggle. You can’t even fathom how much I’m enjoying a 3-0 battle…..I find this more entertaining then just marching up and down the field all game at will….but to each his own…

  257. 257 Andy124 said at 2:24 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Bad throw.

  258. 258 GermanEagle said at 2:26 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    OT: where are all the Vick haters today? Oh, I forgot, he’s not playing. Lol

  259. 259 Insomniac said at 2:28 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    They’re still high on their beloved last weeks performance by Foles. Matt Ryan without his two receivers are lighting up the Bucs.

  260. 260 GEAGLE said at 2:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Matt Ryan? The dude with 70 games of starting experience? Great point lol

  261. 261 Insomniac said at 2:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Harry Douglas, Tony G, and who else do they have that you can name as a receiver? Good point I think the Eagles have more weapons. Foles isn’t playing good get over it.

  262. 262 Baloophi said at 2:26 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Troy Aikman unfamiliar with that large white area next to the field of play…

  265. 265 Baloophi said at 2:29 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    He’s attached to Bryant like a decorative light fixture to a wall.

  266. 266 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:31 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    i see you brought your A-game today. care to pass some of that over to the eagles offense? lol

  267. 267 GEAGLE said at 2:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

  272. 272 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    kinda surprised they aren’t going for it here

  273. 273 BlindChow said at 2:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    That was an awful decision.

  274. 274 Baloophi said at 2:32 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Yep.

  275. 275 GEAGLE said at 2:33 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Chip and foles

  276. 276 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:33 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    should have at the very least ran the football. if you don’t get anything, let the clock run down and take the timeout before you kick, or make them take their timeout

  277. 277 GEAGLE said at 2:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Liked to see a screen or draw there

  278. 278 BlindChow said at 2:37 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    A Foles keeper would have been perfect. Kelly looks like a high school coach today.

  279. 279 GermanEagle said at 2:33 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    stupid playcalling

  280. 280 Flyineagle45 said at 2:33 PM on October 20th, 2013:

  281. 281 ACViking said at 2:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Okay . . . now I’m serious.

    MATT BARKLEY.

  282. 282 OregonDucker said at 2:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    I agree.

  283. 283 GermanEagle said at 2:38 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Nah. Let Foles play through a bad game. At least we will know a little bit more about him and his future in Philly after this game.
    On that note, such a shame Vick is injured…

    yea, i’m in the camp of “lets see what Foles can do” to see if he is the QBOTF or if we need to spend an early pick this offseason. part of seeing what he can do is seeing how he handles his own struggles.

  285. 285 shah8 said at 2:34 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Now, I’m just totally pissed. Especially with Riley Cooper. He’s gotta help a struggling QB out. Gotta make the blocks he’s supposed to. Gotta run better routes!!!!!!

  286. 286 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:35 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    yea aside from the one play he made on the 1st down catch earlier, he’s really only showed up on a couple of big mistakes

  287. 287 Insomniac said at 2:36 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    It helps that he’s not going up against Jonathan Banks.

    Horrible sequence of play calls by Chip to end the half. Really frustrating.

    I know Chip Kelly has to learn it the hard way in the NFL, but that was Andy Reid’esque. Duh…

  290. 290 xeynon said at 2:38 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Nah, I think that was an entirely different kind of horrible decision making. Reid would’ve let the clock run down to two seconds, called timeout, and then decided to go for it and called a shovel pass.

    Why the fuck is Gaethers on The field right there instead of Curry,. GTFO here

    Wolff!

    Now if we can just capitalize on that turnover.

    Oh. Wait.

  294. 294 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:36 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    nice pick by wolff there

  295. 295 Crus57 said at 2:37 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Took it away from Dez.

  296. 296 Insomniac said at 2:36 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Yeeeeeeeeea even though we could have used that 15 minutes ago.

    Hurrah halftime hopefully they come out better next half

  298. 298 ACViking said at 2:38 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    The weather is really interfering with these offenses.

    All the snow and freezing rain. The field is nearly frozen.

    And the wind is just eliminating the passing game.

    You’d never see a game like this in nice weather

    The storm is in each QB’s head.

  300. 300 Insomniac said at 2:42 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Chip put in whoever will put YOU in the best position to win. I don’t even care who starts. You can pick up Trent Edwards from the streets and put him in. Just beat the shitty cowgirls.

    Offense won’t struggle every week, but you can’t expect it to be on fire every single week….It’s thrilling to see a young/new defense start coming together and keep us in a tough division game…these past two weeks we have seen flashes of defensive improvement but mostly in the 4th quarter…it’s awesome to see them build on it and start a game off with a hard fought well played defensive showing

    foles>>>>vick

  303. 303 GEAGLE said at 2:50 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Did Vick play better against KC then FOles is playing today?
    …
    Tough game, but do you see FOles unraveling and turning the ball over? It’s important to see the young man in his shoes, stay the course, don’t force things turn the ball over, and stay afloat until we gain some momentum
    …
    I’m sorry, but I think you guys are nuts…did you expect a QB making his 10th start to be Peyton Manning every single week? I don’t get it…..raise your hand if you ever seen a hard fought division battle before?

  304. 304 bbbulka said at 3:02 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    yes of course… and we didn’t expect but you did )))

  305. 305 GEAGLE said at 2:45 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    Interesting to see what adjustments we make…is it time to bust out a heavy TE package, try and get shady going, and get some TEs matched up against safeties and LBs?
    …
    Herremans looks like a whipping boy out there

  306. 306 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:45 PM on October 20th, 2013:

    its hard to imagine we are only down by 3 points right now
