The Stink from the Linc is wafting over to Central PA. Let’s get a win at home!
POST HERE HOW AMPED UP YOU ARE FOR THIS GAME!!!!
Looked like a hold on Cole right there.
Nate Allen closing fast!
yeah hard to believe that was nate.
Good call there. FC can’t do that. Gotta know the rules.
BS flag. they have to put RG3 on the ground every chance they get
The extra shove at the end is probably what got him the flag
Yeah, in today’s NFL, that’s a penalty every time.
Not looking good for the defense so far…
3rd and long. Let’s see how it goes.
i love Trent Cole but boy is he lousy at OLB. we need one in the worst way
C’mon guys, stop them right here.
Barwin is very good at batting passes…
Must have gotten some tips from Watt.
Great D. Keep RG3 in the pocket. If he beats you as a pocket passer, so be it.
Barwin!!
Several hands up that time
Yeah, it really seems like a point of emphasis. Not sure if that’s Davis or Azzinaro, but I like it.
Nice hold D! Gotta clean up those edge runs.
These are the times that try men’s souls
OK. Let’s just be sure to get a few first downs and flip the field position.
Oh come on Riley!!! He has to find that ball!
He would have scored if he caught it
Yep. Would have walked in.
WHAT?!!?!?! HOW IS THAT NOT PI!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
He’s not wearing a Patriots uniform.
Great throw between the safety and the corner.
Love that Foles trusts his receivers to come up with those passes.
Riley should have had a flag but still has to catch that ball
Riley Cooper is NOT good at tracking the ball.
He’s actually done really well until that play.
Whoa… that was a bad play by him there, but he has been great otherwise. What other balls has he not tracked well?
they are obviously selling out to stop McCoy. Nick is going to have to throw them out of it
That was an AWFUL attempt at a block there.
Beautiful!
well done Boykin
I absolutely love Boykin.
Great effort and play by Boykin
Boykin, Punt coverage MVP. He’s almost always down there first.
Really has been great at that.
Man, my attention is split today, what with the tornados today! Like the pass to desean.
Are you in the Chicago area? Its getting pretty nasty where I’m at
atl
I’m a weather geek, among other things.
Sitting in the office with walnut sized hail coming down outside. Getting a bit dicey…
do what you can to stay safe today!
Coleman
uh oh. chung is banged up again
Ugh another injury
Chung has been hurt more or less all year!
but but Kurt Coleman!!
heh. i’m not sure there is a big drop off in talent there…
The Eagles were extremely high on Patrick Chung in the offseason, but he certainly has not lived up to their hype of him.
should be hungry
http://nbcsports700level.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/mccoyflagthief_medium.gif
Haha. Love it!
Logan with a strong game so far
I guess holding won’t be called this game.
Casey in the game? Why?
Again with the holding…
Damn!
Blown the hell up.
BG!
Brandon Graham with a big stop!
holy shit
Wow.
Quick, trade him now while his value is up!
That was goode.
Damn, beat me too it.
GOOOOOOOOODE
Najee B Goode
That was Goode. Very very Goode
Oh my Goode!
crowd is really getting into it
D-E-F-E-N-S-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow look at Cox run down that screen. dude is an athlete
Love watching him move in space.
A man the size of Fletcher Cox should not be able to move like that. Wow.
Wow Defense!
Goodenight Griffen.
Goode may be playing himself into a starters role
Goode may be greate.
whats bettere than goode? greate.
great play on the blitz, both in timing and finishing the tackle. be nice to have another competent ILB
He has been impressive.
Eagles d playing with a lot of heart and fire right now. Love to see this.
Feels like years since we’ve been able to say that. Love what I’m seeing.
Wow. Crazy stat from Les:
Les Bowen
@LesBowen
That’s the hazard of “small ball.” Redskins ran 10 plays there, ended up punting from their 31.
granted, they started within the 5
C’mon, let’s get some points.
Oh come on.
lol!! Wilson faking!
Josh Wilson’s feelings are hurt.
i think i am happier with Ertz after 3/4 of a season than LJ Smith’s entire career
Best solution I can think of is, out for series.
heh
that was a beautiful throw!
What.
A.
Throw.
I’m loving what I am seeing from Foles so far today.
Finally with the wheel route!
Foles is on today. 🙂
Beautiful wheel pass.
Ha, redskins stall and Foles still finds the mismatch!
Three passes in a row, let’s go!
nice throw away foles. glad to see the quick decision to get rid of it.
Run it in. Stop passing
Ground Foles!
Let’s see Manning do THAT!
Foles with the fake
YES!!!! i was just thinking to myself i’d love to see Foles keep one
Foles…another great run
#functionalmobility
FOLES ERA!!!!!
YES! Had everyone fooled there I think.
Foles going Beast Mode.
Nick “Ironhead” Foles!
Someone just won a nice prop-bet somewhere…
That was a thing of beauty!
That was flipped awesome!
Get that 6’6″ body across that goal line
He belongs in Canton.
He is Cantonese.
He is.
Nick “Shady” Foles !
Foles playing like he wants this starting job.
I just really want to bury the ‘Skins today.
This team is much more likeable than they were last year. Really enjoy watching these guys.
GEagle must be going out of his mind watching this game up close and personal.
If he cheers like he posts he’ll be hoarse before the half. Love it.
amazing.
Foles was fleet of upper-body on that run.
What was Ray Diddy saying about McCoy as a receiver during pregame?
Love watching Shady’s eyes checking out how close his pursuer is on the big screen.
Saw that too. Very kewl
Nick Foles looks comfortable today in a way I’ve not seen before.
Just watching how he’s moving around makes me think he’s seeing the game moving *very slowly*.
Happy Sunday, AC!
Now a D td
Challenge
There will be no challenges.
Awful tackling right there
c’mon D. gotta FINISH those tackles.
Challenge?
he was out
Come on Chip!
WTF SHURMUR? PAY ATTENTION!
EVERYTHING’S FINE! STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!!!
I’m Ok now.
Must not have had the game feed in the booth.
is it really worth challenging that play?
another blown obvious challenge…wtf is Shurmur doing?
Baloophi —
The burden’s on you
not again
Shurmur was watching re-runs of Three’s Company up there….
Understandable. Janet or Chrissy?
or… Mr. Roper?
Why have to choose? – Make it a four-some!
Nah, he’s watching AZ vs JAC on the big screen!
missed challenge is now a moot point
D is balling
Whew, didn’t hurt us.
My man crush on Butch continues.
Roc “Deion” Carmichael
Roc “Darrell Green” Carmichael.
Roc “Eric Allen” Carmichael.
R
G
3
and out
If they need someone to let them know when to challenge I’ll do it, I can’t be worse than Shurmer.
The Eagles clearly need to rethink their challenge strategy.
Yeah, I really hope they don’t lose a game because of it. Especially since they should have known something was wrong after last week.
What strategy?
…and we have HOME FIELD footage!
I love having a scoring cushion. Deflates the pressure.
There’s probably a dirty joke to be made here…
hahaha
I am not comfortable until we are three scores up
Nick Elway to lead another scoring drive here.
Re: Chip on Challenges
I’m pleased to say that Kelly agrees with me that Replay is an impediment
Maybe he thinks that challenges increase the opponents time of possession unnecessarily?
You must be right
Risky play there by DeSean. On the plus side, he saved us several yards, but on the negative side, definitely very risky play.
Michael who?
Absolutely love it!
Nick Vick!
Merrill calling him tricky nicky
Say it ain’t so, Merrill – don’t go all John Sterling on us now!
AHAHAHA i love it
I don’t know if Foles or Glennon look more awkward when they scramble.
Glennon uses a John Cleese silly walk when he scrambles.
For our younger fans…
2 hands Avant.. You have 2 hands.
That’s on Avant for being slow
Don’t pick on old people.
Why not? They’re easy targets.
You don’t have to lead them as far…
Age is a relative concept.
And I have a lot of old relatives
That’s twice now that McCoy’s towel has stopped him…
Never knew you were anti-towel.
Exposed.
“Big Hair Dryer” signs my paychecks…
Foles ate his wheaties this morning. Playing like a champion.
Shit, I think they ALL ate their Wheaties this AM – Celek gets his motor running!
WOWWWWWWW
Holy Poop
Where did Celek pickup the NOS?
WOW. That is the fastest Brent has ever run!!!
HOLY WHEELS CELEK!!!
whomever that OL was that got the guy pursuing from being at the start of the play absolutely made this happen
DAMN. I picked up the wrong Eagles TE to start this week.
Or…
Shurmur is challenging our own plays???
Shady grabbing the Skins banner prior to the game set the stage. Eagles will not take any sh*t.
someone earlier posted a link to a gif/video (dont remember which)
I did http://nbcsports700level.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/mccoyflagthief_medium.gif?w=675&h=464
I never knew Celek was that fast.
was thinking same thing
Most surprising ?
1) That Celek run.
2) Foles TD run.
3) That Nate Allen beeline tackle.
No. 3
Yea, I’d personally go with that one as well.
Oh my god that blocking is just ridiculous.
Heh, looks like this game is already over!
bawahahaha… Celek. Wait! Is my hat on right. Loved the Helmet check in mid stride
I noticed that too. That’s right when he turn on the jets… hmmm… makes you wonder (see my previous comment)
Awww Celek so close to a TD, what a shame.
If it’s overturned, please leave all “roll out” passes on the sideline…
From that distance, I really hope they run it 3 straight times.
I hope they run it once and don’t have to run it again.
You should hope for more stuff.
I do. Believe me, I do.
Foles set up that screen really well.
And that Sky View is a horrible angle . . . how the hell can you tell is someone’s knee is down?
Because it looks bent?
Who are these people?
Love that Celek catches the screen, then adjusts his helmet for some power running, before power running. 🙂
SHADY!
Walked it right in
wow. the overhead view makes it look even better. there was no one within 2 yards of him.
Wow, Shady would have scored even if it was 2 hand touch.
I really don’t like replay. WASTE OF TIME
Pat Shurmur has hijacked AC’s account!
One replay, one TD drive.
Replay is certainly imperfect, but what I hate even more is for refs to decide the game incorrectly. At least replay allows them to call the ref closer to accurate.
Wow, that hole.
That’s what HE said!
Jenna Jameson never had a hole that wide.
and she’s used to a great deal of penetration.
first Shady rushing TD in like 6 games. AWESOME
wow…walks in untouched. great block by Mathis
Baloophi . . . you’re warming up.
Reality should be setting in for Redskins fans now – they suck as bad as the G-men this year.
Weather delay in Chicago. Yeesh
Can confirm the world is ending here.
QUESTION on the Celek Screen . . .
Was that a double screen w/ Foles having the option of throwing right or left?
I think it was a screen to Celek all the way… the pump to Brown heading into the flat on the other side was supposed to freeze one of the linebackers. I think they ran it against the Raiders…
First play of the second quarter…
Scroll about 3/4 of the way down the page…
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2013/11/7/5076458/philadelphia-eagles-how-do-you-stop-chip-kelly-offense
excellent open field tackle for barwin
Conrad Berwin was an excellent pickup.
Yep. And I like that he saw the play developing before it happened.
It looks like the whole team is just feeling it today.
I had a feeling leading up to this one that we were gonna go off…
Wow, we are just bullying them! Gotta love the effort and execution so far.
82 on skins has metal knee brace sticking out
curious – are they not allowed to be metal? or just not allowed to stick out?
stick out
cool. thanks for the info, man.
Both PHI scoring drives less than 2 min, per usual
Yeah, there goes the time of possession stat!
It has to be said . . .
“Fly Folesy Fly!”
Vinny sighting
VC!!
anyone else notice nate allen there to clean up that play after roc let his guy go? (first down catch by garcon)
Damn, he runs like a tank
Hat off to Morris, dude is a beast.
Like that hit by Allen.
Question:
Manning set the record this year starting the season with 20 tis before throwing his first int. Can we count Nick’s rushing tds towards that total?
Throwing yourself into the endzone doesn’t count, sadly.
griffin looks like he is going to blow out his knee sliding
I don’t understand why defensive players push the pile forward . . .
How ’bout “Do No Harm”
Barwin beasting
Barwin and Logan doing stuff.
Damn Bennie
my words exactly
Ya, Soap doesn’t make that play.
When did Logan move to MLB?
RGIII looked like he twisted his leg going out of bounds
so griffin heads towards the sidelines then cuts back upfield again. thats exactly why QBs running are so hard to protect. “heading out of bounds” isn’t always so.
Time for the defense to put on the clamps and stop this drive.
LETS GO DEFENSE!
Tackling going downhill
damn. that one wasn’t so goode. : (
Najeh Bad tackling form there.
Baloophi . . .
I’m sorry by Goode has some tackling issues
yep missed that one
Needs to wrap up and not arm tackle
and coverage
If Goode hadn’t blown those tackles, we wouldn’t have just intercepted the ball. So…
It’s something only an industrial engineering major would think of…
Good tackle there by Curry. May have saved a TD. Definitely saved a few yards.
Hell yea!!!!
DEFENSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
thats a play
EAGLES DDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEFENSE!!!!!!
Wooooooooooo!
Cheese Steak Defense FTW!
Connor Barwin absolutely decked RGIII.
man there tough inside the ten
illegal forward pass or advancing a fumble?
the former
Bwahahaha
Barwin is playing excellent right now.
That’s the type of hit you dream of as a defensive player I think. He just decked RGIII. More please.
Then he just sat on him
BarWIN.
#BarWINNING
better…
oh shit. someone stomped on RG3’s head. not sure who it was, and it was clearly unintentional, but damn.
He got kicked in the forehead by his own guy, too.
Some jackass just knocked on the door. What happened???
GOOD THINGS!!
GOODE* THINGS
Barwin decked RGIII, ball popped up, Cox intecepted.
Btw, it’s justifiable homicided to kill that moron.
I know that. I’ll bury the body after the game, though.
barwin beats the RB in pass pro, hits RG3 as he throws, ball pops almost straight up, Cox with the interception. runs for a bit, then forward pass to someone (nate allen?) who runs for a bit.
penalty called on the illegal forward pass. still eagles football.
No “Do Not Disturb” sign? What kind of Eagles fan are you?!
Now if only we had someone on the opposite side of Barwin
This team is so much fun. I haven’t enjoyed football this much in a long time.
RGIII – The new “coach killer”
GEagle’s having a heart attack! Get the paddles stat!
So I guess we’re starting from about the 5
Good initial reaction by Cox, but never ever do that again. Catch and fall next time big guy.
Late hit on Foles?
SACK + FF for Barwin = no INT for Cox.
fuck shady! c’mon man!
here i thought he was just yelling at merriweather to let go of his ankle…
Come on McCoy. I know he is amped up for this game, but gotta play under control.
wtf
Has anyone considered the possibility that the ref is actually Jerry Jones in stripes?
COOP!!!!!
Uh oh. Foles was shaking his arm. Did he get hurt?
He did that after the play before, too.
He has been doing that since the holding call
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
FOLES LETTIN IT RIP!
damn…stupid penalty. Great to see Nick convert it anyway
Wow, that was a ridunkulous call. Dopey ref…. Shady was congratulating him with tackle.
i think he got away with some OPI there
Foles is just playing out of his mind right now!
They’re playing with so much confidence.
Taunting. Eagles offense.
I hated Michael Irvin because the Eagles never had any WR who pushed off and got away with it.
Now they do. Finally
damn, bryce.
brown likes to tackle himself
Well. This is fun.
Nice, Bryce
Clearly having Kelly’s offense on tape was a major advantage for Shanahan coming into this game.
Oh god, Bryce looking like Maclin
damn, i think coop slowed down on that one (hold?)
Foles with the overthrow. Cut him.
Arm’s too strong.
Too many bites of Wheaties…
Love Shady coming back to block for DJax on that last play.
Obligatory “Chip Kelly’s offense can’t work in the NFL” post.
Ouch.
oh. damn foles. ouch!
Nasty hit
London calling.
That has to be illegal for London Fletcher to be out there on a hover round.
OK, so what is the helmet to helmet rule again?
Shit!
Noooooooo
Uh oh.
shit. shady bad hammy.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Looks like 92 on the Redskins belly button is leaking.
ahhhhh damn
hope it’s just a cramp
That sack had concussion written on it.
watch Foles closely
was thinking the same
Seriously. And why wasn’t that a penalty. I don’t think it was dirty or anything, but by the book, was that not a blow to the head or neck area?
there was some helmet-to-helmet there but I don’t know if that was the first contact
Yeah, I’m worried.
yeah, i’m a bit concerned.
My feed is so terrible, I’m missing a lot of plays…Didn’t see it, was it a long sack or a short one?
Relatively short, delayed blitz by Lond Fletcher
gotcha. London Fletcher? Took out the last QB, if I remember right, Ponder, last week.
Ponder got hurt diving into the end zone on a QB scramble. Landed on his arm.
because he got *smushed*, that was a really hard hit to out of bounds.
Uh oh. Those smoothies are killing us.
PLEASE JUST BE A CRAMP
he’s walking off, didn’t see a limp. hopefully just a cramp?
Hopefully just a few weeks out for mccoy. What a run by the way.
Back in time for the playoff run.
damn.
Next man up, lets go BB.
is Polk active today too?
Yes. He was in on a special teams tackle to open the game.
With BB running the ball, can we just put blockers on the outside and just forget about blocking up the middle?
sounds like we want that formation where the OTs are out wide with the WRs
Dodged a bullet there, hopefully
Hmmmm, i wanna go for it
Good decision by foles just to take the tackle and not force anything.
Obviously, we need a faster qb.
Hopefully we don’t have a concussed QB.
Put Shady in sweats. No need to risk further injury. Give him two weeks to heal.
looks like mccoy going into the locker room. might as well get a head start before halftime
anyone still want to trade Foles to san fran even up
Let’s see if he’s got another concussion first…
at least its the bye week coming up, if there was ever a time to have a 3 week injury..
NO WAY!
hehehe
damn. he’s definitely down
hmmm
Shurmur is going to challenge
also, Chung got trucked.
He was down.
That’s exactly why Replay is unnecessary
Lol. Replay should be used just to benefit the Eagles
Home-field advantage, right?
we’d come out way ahead if replay didn’t exist lol.
sanctioned revisionism!
Clearly down. I’d love to see a fumble, but gotta make the right call.
AC –
Found the Celek screen play against the Raiders (which got nothing). Scroll about 3/4 of the way down the page…
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2013/11/7/5076458/philadelphia-eagles-how-do-you-stop-chip-kelly-offense
isnt that the game where they called it twice – one went nowhere, other went for a lot?
Yeah… like ten minutes later in the quarter I think. Just scroll down on that link…
No problem. Skins have enough time to put together a nice clock chewing drive that ends in zero points.
weird that with that many people up on the LOS, we didn’t have more people up there as well
Either DeMeco decided to jump backwards out of the way of Morris on that long run, or holding is still an optional call.
“there’s a lot of trashtalking going on down on the field” as DJax taps the skin’s guy’s helmet….
Just saying…
all right defense. get us the ball back before halftime!
I…..hate….Troy…..Aikman.
B —
Thanks for the Raiders play
Just meta-reporting ChipWagoneer’s work at BleedingGreen…
Interesting how these new supposedly superstar dual-threat guys – RGII and Kaep – are becoming more run-only threats. And, sooner or later, they’re going to take a major hit that will knock them out.
back to back run stuffs. good job. hold ’em on 3rd and long here.
Trent Cole!
OH COME ON! you can’t call roughing! Oh thank god.
nope! : )
though i was worried about going in at the QB low
That’s exactly what I thought it was going to be.
ditto.
wonder what this penalty is…
Who borrowed Cole’s jersey?
T. Cole!!!
Trent on Trent crime?
41 seconds? no problem.
Hopefully we don’t leave too much time on the clock.
That would be a long drive for the Eagles.
Bryce’s affinity for the sidelines is suddenly a bonus…
oh geez. that one scared me.
Blame Avant for being slow on that one too.
you think so? i didn’t get a good look at his route
Wasn’t entirely serious.
i really didn’t see it so it was an honest question. lol
Avant him to run faster.
Eh.
Yeah…he’s gotten very old all of a sudden.
Avant needs some “Celek-speed”
I’m still not used to this… 17 seconds left in the half and we are calling our FIRST timeout.
OK. Nothing stupid, please.
Don’t worry, he’s in KC now.
I think you mean New York
Like Iskar below. Its completely new territory. Not sure how to handle it.
can’t blame Chip for not going for it on 3rd and 15
Dammit, I really wanted a score there.
Baloophi . . . you’re red hot now
Good punt to pin against the sideline
nice punt, donnie.
Great half outside of the mccoy injury.
“Not a yardage board, just a score board.”
We need a nice graphic with that quote on it from you Photoshop experts
Odd end to the half… Not sure why you call a timeout with 17 seconds left in the half simply to hand it off on 3rd and 15 and give Washington a chance to return a punt or potentially run a play.
any word on shady’s status
Just a generic “Hamstring injury”
Single
time to make my move
Stay away from his party bus.
and apparently his hamstring
Egg bowl
