PHI 17, ARZ 7 – 2nd Half
Posted: December 1st, 2013 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 569 Comments »Good start. The Eagles were a bit sloppy at times, but mostly played well. The Cards were also sloppy at times.
Big difference, aside from turnovers, seems to be the Eagles get chunk plays and the Cards having to drive the field. The one TD for them came when an intermediate play turned into a long TD. Thanks for nothing, Mr Chung.
Eagles get the ball to open the 2nd half. Let’s get some points and make the Cards one-dimensional.
Go Eagles !
Ugh, I hope they don’t get conservative. On offense OR defense…
Flashbacks to both redskins games -.-
Chip should probably just burn that whole section of his playbook.
Seriously, if they go 75% run starting in the 3rd I will have to send Chip and unpleasant letter.
If Eagles score 7 off KO — or whenever Eagles get up by 17 — I think we *Should* see lots more of Fitzgerald.
If we don’t, then Bill Davis is a master DC.
We get the kickoff. Can’t wait to see our offense and its strategy – 2nd half lead.
Smart to kneel after that bounce
brad smith on returns. the only place he should be
first down before slide please.
nice juke foles.
When Foles falls forwards, there’s a lot of him to fall.
Wounded Giraffe – I really can’t think of a more apt description.
welp. that was an ugly pass from Foles. can’t say i’ve said that too many times, but there it is
I think he thought he had more pressure on him than there actually was.
which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. you gotta have that internal clock that tells you to get rid of the ball. but he’s still gotta make a better pass
and a timeout early in the quarter because the clock got down too low? what is going on!??! lol
The spectre of andy reid.
COOP!
Go ahead. Blitz. Nick dares you.
That’s the kind of runs I want to see with Bryce.
Yes. More please.
Run him out of the “I”
i want more of this. he had like 8 yards to run just to get back to the LOS
Ohhhh Djax 🙁
Ouch
OUCH. they read the shit out of that play
sheldown brown- reggie bush flashbacks.
Nice throw.
Kelce just owned them on the presnap checks so FOles could have time to hit Coop..picked up that blitz beautifully..big block by Bryce..
…
ERTTTTTTZZZYYY!!!
damn. Celek and Ertz are having huge games
Coop, and the TEs was how you attack this sweet in the gut king hippo defense
that looked like a broken screen play
great throw to Ertz there.
hah! who runs it on 3rd and 10? we do.
had the bubble screen behind Lane as a good option as well
Foles is on FIRE
Just another day at the office bro,.get used to it
19
NINETEEN!
HAHAHHAHA amazing
Looks like tommy was wrong 2tds for ertz
BEAUTIFUL!
ERTZZZZZZZYYYY!!!
…
hashtag RAINMAKER!!!
Cards on their heels
Foles just continues to impress…i love it
Kill them ALL Foles!!!
Shedding tears of Joy……
..
FOles should get a tear tattooed under his left eye like the gangster he is..in memory of MURDERING ANOTHER top ranked defense with top CB
Boo yaka sha
Just gonna leave this here.
Cuz it’s so pretty.
AZ is just sitting back and letting Foles beat them. and thats exactly what he’s doing
where’s mikey miss crying right now?
Still not where my expectations are for an NFL starter, but that was one of the better series I’ve seen from Foles. Doing what he does well, with those throws to the TE in the middle of the field…
Seriously dude, give it up…
Not stumping for anything. Just calling like I see it.
smh, try and enjoy it while Foles breaks records if you can.
That was number 19, 1 from tying Peyton right?
correct.
With all do respect, from the bottom of my heart, you sir are a fuckin idiot!!!!
..
Sorry Tom, but enough is enough
Wow , your tough
I mean, I guess Foles is OKAY, but he’s no Joe Webb.
i guess a backhanded compliment is still a compliment
Somebody get me an Andy Dufresne, “How can you be so obtuse?” gif.

Thank you. You da man.
OK. so we triple cover Fitz the rest of the game. Anything else?
Just tackle him rather than throw a body at him.
maybe we will put an extra CB in there and take a S out of the game….
Play press man against us and we kill you. Play zone and we kill you. Get life insurance suckers.
COLLEGE OFFENSE wit a back up QB….ain’t that some shit?
Uh oh, now we just have to hope Kelly doesn’t let off the gas…
what a lucky guy Foles is
Air Beard
Tommy must be a little disappointed, no pressure on Foles. Our OL is dominating
Hope the cowgirls are watching
I hope not, I’d rather they got a nasty surprise.
what can they do….since he banged his head he’s unstoppable
its like that movie Rookie of the Year, but with football
Yup. Being unprepared in December is one of their hallmarks. Probably watching desperate housewives reruns today.
They’re probably saying we’re the best defense on the planet, look what we did to him!
ALERT . . .
Foles 1 TD pass away from getting his jersey sent to Canton again for consecutive TD passes w/out an INT to start the season.
(Sorry of this has been posted)
Mike Missanelli @MikeMiss97526m
Have to say that it IS pretty amazing that Foles doesnt throw interceptions…
i’m not entirely sure what that means…
he’s an idiot.
cards slowing it down
theyre trying to keep with their game plan, i guess.
Damn Logan is a beast.
Cards OL can’t pass block for shit but they can blow people off the ball in the run game.
come on chung
Chung is horrible…
GODDAMMIT CHUNG
Chung’d.
Chung is horrible,.where is wolff
Injured
bring in Coleman
I’m just going to start calling him FacePalm Chung.
Triple coverage. Good call.
chung – friendly fire again.
Chung almost took out williams there
Chung the new Nate Allen.
OMG It’s like Freaky Friday!
even Williams is giving Chung shit lol
looks like Chung put a shoulder into Cary there…
Chung almost took out sconces there and sconces let him know about it.
Williams getting after Chung there for hitting him
lol, Chung the most dangerous man on the Cardinals offense.
Chung is going to kill another Eagle . . . like Coles 2 weeks ago
It’s really nice to see contributions from each of our first 3 picks. Johnson, Ertz, and Logan all playing and playing well, when was the last season that’s happened?
#InHowieWeTrust
Chung is like the dude in the green mile…he swallowed all of Nates SUCKYNESS so Nate could go on to play well
Nice John.
Can we send Chung to the chair?
LOL
Is there an electric bench?
AC’s right
COME ON DEFENSE!
are they really calling this on Cary??!??!
ok, good. i guess…. lol
Mr. DECEMBER CARY FUCKIN WILLIAMS….dude got another SB ring on his brain
Slow your roll GEAGLE, let’s not get too hasty and jinx them… but I share your optimism
Woah…I’m not talking SB…but I guarentee you that if you ask Cary, in his brain! he is playing for a SB right now!!
.
And THATS how you should want ever EAGLE to think in december
Shouldv’e been offensive PI
turnover time
Ced wasting little time trying to make amends.
Ha! Anyone else see Cole jamming up Fitzgerald on the inside.
Fitzgerald stutter stepPed on that one for about an hour
This team looks NOTHING like they did week 2, so refreshing to see a team grow as the season goes on
Balls.
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hummmmm
Shoot.
damn damn damn
Spoke too soon
Well…silver lining is that Chip won’t let off the gas now.
Great minds.
The theme of that drive was friendly fire.
We’d be an amazing D if we could get out of our own way, literally.
It was a good rub and the kid made a heckuva catch to get his feet in…it hurts, but nice play…NO MORE!!!
Yeah, I mostly credit the O there.
The true genius of Billy Davis. He’s making sure Chip doesn’t let off the gas yet.
Let’s see some more Foles Gold!
nice return for smith
feels good to type that name without having to type “smit”
i’m ok with smith returning kicks
Positive KR yards?
nah, we’re just going to hear that AZ has terrible ST after the game lol
They fell
Looks like Chung and Ernie simms play by the same set of rules – Sharks!!
And Coleman, Chung’s potential replacement.
I like smith returning because it doesn’t expose Boykin to potential injury.
But how will we ever run the wildcat if Smith gets hurt?
On second thought… maybe Smith can pull a hammy. That wouldn’t be so bad.
Yeah, and Smith is a proven KOR.
This is the “shootout” game that I’ve wanted to see Foles in.
Cards have weapons on offense. A good defense.
Let’s see Foles excute . . . and put the ghosts of Norm Snead to rest.
Caleus is bigger then a fly swatter
Block please.
what happened on that play? lol. 3 defenders there to meet shady at the handoff
Cards very effective pushing the middle of the Eagles O-line back.
Yeah, I wonder about fatigue.
And yet the commentators all talk about how low our time of posession is, so it’s not due to that.
awful series
awful series
damn. really needed to NOT go 3 and out on this drive…
Bleh, OL is having a rough game in both pass protection and run blocking.
Yeah. Best front-7 they’ve played since KC.
Yeah gotta give the Cards credit, their D is legit.
And they always seem to play the Eagles very well.
Foles was about to dish that to Lane when he realized it was an OL.
hell of a punt by Donnie Football… if it stands
Defense…time for Cox to make a play..Barwin spending a lot of time in coverage..
…..
VINNY!! ,,
nice! play stands! thats like a 70 yard punt!
edit: ok or 69 yards
69 yards, pleasing every 12 year old watching.
Even when he’s getting sacked, much less heart-attack inducing than Vick. Great job tucking the ball while going down there
another beautiful jones Punt
I love having a good punter.
As much as I love Barwin, Donnie may be our best FA signing this past offseason.
Cards been Jones’d.
i’m Jonesing for a defensive play on this series
If our punter can keep doing this in December January he will be a brilliant weapon
I wanna see Lane line up wide for a screen an punish the honey badger
GRAHAM!
Graham^2
Brandon Graham REALLY wants more playing time.
GRAHAM CRACKERS!!!!
B dot GRIZZLE is in the building
I read somewhere (maybe here) that Graham was taken out of some ST packages to give him more playing time on Def.
3rd and long…oh boy.
What a surprise.
bah. COME ON DEFENSE
Come on that is terrible
We must be the worst 3rd and long D in the NFL.
Must be. Of alltime.
Seeing today that sacks are nice, but pressure more important
consistent pressure, i mean
Hate to say I told ya.
It’s ok, just means we get 3 more downs to force a turnover
This is a tough team. We have to be patient.
You’re gonna make a name for yourself…
Lol Mr. DECEMBER?
…
I might be an optimist but at what point do I become a realist? LOL
haha! i love your optimism, man! especially when you are right!
Just awful.
SCONCES
Scones!!
SCONCES!!!
THERE YOU GO DEFENSE!
Williams totally BAITED Palmer
Foles would never throw that ish.
CALLED IT!!! SAID WILLIAMS WOULD GET ONE TODAY!
MR. FUCKIN DECEMBER CARY Williams!!!!!!!
He can’t cover, but good bless him he tackles, he doesn’t get beat deep and he grabs some interceptions. Thats more 3 things than Nnamdi and DRC can do combined.
FIND THAT MAN SOME MUTHA F-IN SCONCES!!!
My pessimism has been trumped!
Foles currently chilling on a passer rating of 126; let’s hope he can hit a few long gains to bump that up a little 🙂
you jinxed it man.
This is actually bad for him.
That pic was tastefully done. Illuminated that flaws in Palmer’s game.
ugh. wtf Foles. what the heck was that?!?
Not another 3 and out, ugh.
What happens at the end of the 3rd to the O?
Dang Shady, lots of room inside there.
Field position game…
Play calling today is crapola
not cool
If Carson Palmer wasn’t terrible that would have been a TD. Our safety bit on the underneath route
FacePalm Chung again.
Yup.
I just think we really are tripling Fitz now.
Maybe because he was under duress as well.
Foles is a bit off here. Settle down, take some deep breaths and get back in rhythm.
Someone needs to tell him to Grip It and Rip It
Really need to do better after a TO.
Chip is just putting the game in the hands of Donnie Jones. Coffin corner, baby.
Not sure I like these 3rd down runs against a very good rushing D.
it worked earlier when we moved Lane out wide
though i think that was more of a ‘safe’ play that *might* work, but a lower % play
Defense defense defense,,,
Running game hurting today. Best plays have been McCoy and Brown taking straight ahead.
Cards starting to clamp down on receivers now w/ out worrying about the run
I feel like our offense is still trying to figure out the Cards D. They have a tough defense.
C dub Williams…
“.
Can’t believe I was watching NNamdi last year smh
Blitz
Can we get a stop on 3rd?
Yes.
Its a third and short so… yes.
TRENT COLE BABY
3-out
GET OUT.
Cox with nice penetration to make Palmer bring it down
How you loving your defense?
AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH!
Eagles D is for REAL.
Did he also taunt at the end?
maaaaaybe…. but i’m so angry i dont even care
Looks like he got away with it. Just wanted to give Foles more chances to get settled back in.
Yeah, old habits die hard, low class in my opinion. That isn’t philly
ugh. what is the penalty?!
Holding on Coleman while the kick was in the air. Looked alike a reasonable call.
Coleman held a gunner.
Dammit.
Did we just lose a punt return TD because of a hold on a guy 20yds away with no chance of getting close to the ball?
yep
pretty weak call
i think it was definitely holding. even if it didn’t affect the play, its still gotta be called
curt coleman showing why he doesn’t want to take Chung’s place on D
Can we just cut him already? I know his heart is in it, but he doesn’t have an NFL body or a NFL mind.
It should have been Chung out there on ST, with Coleman on defense. So I blame Chung for that penalty.
Didn’t even have anything to do with the return. Kurt Coleman with the I’m guilty hands in the air.
You know…the Linc is still a pretty quiet place…
Not enclosed enough to hold in the noise
Wtf is wrong with Coleman…his contract can’t expire fast enough…Chung needs to be our 4th safety playing ST
I almost miss Jaijar.
Chung needs to be on the street
Yeah agree, Nate Allen and Chung as backups and ST players, Wolff and a new guy with some playmaking ability to start.
Allen has been good. Especially today.
He has the playmaking ability of a rubber duck though?
Allen is average, but I like Wolff more. He seems faster and a better tackler.
He had an interception. Or does that not count?
According to NFL.com, his first since 2011 and his 6th total. Boykin will probably have that many this year.
Allen can’t play ST…start him or let him walk
block in the back on Avant?
sigh. yep.
block in the back, damnit.
Dang Avant. Slow and now that?
Wtf is wrong with these guys? Seriously, that’s two huge plays just blown because of stupid shit.
Good decision, Nick.
NICE PUMP FAKE
FOles you crafty mofo
Coop usually catches that.
yea thats definitely a matchup we want to throw to.
Could have been a flag. Powers never looked back.
It’s easier without a CB hanging off your arm.
True.
wow ref missed PI on cards there.
Powers didn’t turn his head”.this is a joke
textbook face guarding
jeez. what is going on with the second half offense?!
would be nice if we actually also gets some flags our way
ugh
no protection
They (almost) never let it be easy.
2 huge penalties really hurt us. Lets hope that doesn’t come back and bite us in the ass.
not gonna cut it
Did the honey badger just run Lane over? Wtf
Saw 80s jersey most likely ertz
Lol I hope so
mental mistakes keeping the cards in the game. The more they let them hang around, the more chances you give fitz to hurt you
This is awful. Cards only need 2 possessions.
COME ON DEFENSE STEP IT UP AND GET THE BALL BACK
You rang? Our D can hunt all day…they have been inches away from stripping Palmer while his arm is cocked back to throw on multiple occasions
Bad feeling developing about this game. That PR TD could have all but iced it. OL is not blocking well.
Keep waiving your rally towels…our defense shows up late
Ref missed a PI on that deep pass to Cooper, CB was clearly holding his arm down. Tough sequence of events.
yea curry. keep it going D
Curry sighting. What a stud.
VINNY
Uh oh
Get up, Kendricks.
was kendricks hurt going to the ground on that play?
Kendricks just rolled his ankle…is Goode healthy? Acho isn’t active
Goode is out for the game, I think it was reported earlier 🙁
i read earlier that Goode was hurt
Had injury early in the game don’t know if he’s healthy now
Kempski reported he’s out for the game about 50minutes ago
jake knott, now?
Defense having a heckuva game so far.
Yeah, GEagle coached ’em.
Time running out for the Cardinals. Only way we lose is by screwup…
Well, we’ve certainly been trying on O and STs. Unfortunately, our defense is not cooperating.
DSJ very dangerous running backwards there. Coulda been a fumble easily.
It’s an ankle…hopefully we get him back in a few weeks
Defense!! DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!!
I love our cheerleaders.
Dear Chip,
Would it be too much to ask for just a few first downs here?
C’mon shady! Ton of room tot he right!
all right offense. time to pick up the slack!
Time for one of those long, unbalanced line, run drives to punish and put away the top ranked run defense
One good drive away from victory!
NFL showing its of the same family as Rugby there “Bind On!”
Brown tried the Shady spin cycle move, not nearly as effective.
OL or someone fucked that up.
phew. i thought that was an INT for a second.
Foles definitely off right now.
he’s taken a beating today.
Go drink a smoothie on the sidelines and get that accuracy back.
Whole offense is out of rhythm to be honest
VICK TIME BABY!!!!!
Feels like a combination of him being off, bad protection and just good cardinals coverage. Tough stuff.
Just woke up and started watching. Who’s getting beaten on the OL or is it the entire OL playing like garbage?
They’re being nice and taking it in turns. Sometimes they all do it at once, for variety.
seems like a group effort, but mostly up the middle of the OL
Apt username, lol. Whole OL is getting beat, seems to be a scheme/communication issue
If the Cardinal’s offense wasn’t so pathetic, we’d be in trouble. Four and out in this situation is not good at all.
they are pretty squarely in the middle of the league. not sure i’d call that pathetic… but ok.
and if the Cards defense wasnt so good, we would have scored 40 points. What is your point?
They scored 40 last week…
Zona is going to have to start taking some real shots down the field soon.
COME ON DEFENSE! GET THE BALL BACK!
kendricks is back in the game
That pass to Fitzgerald, just now…
not a catch, thank you
Mmm… might give him that. Looked like he had control by the time it touched the ground. Best hope is not enough evidence to overturn.
yea, on replay, im thinking hte same but hope not enough to overturn
The ball is clearly moving and he’s still trying to control it.
after he bobbles it, it looks like he traps it against the ground
Yeah n since it was rules incomplete hopefully they have to stick with that call
cards wasting time out
That’s incomplete.
I think that they’re going to reverse the call. It looked like he has control
even after he got up, the ball is still moving. can’t say he had control of it if the ball does indeed hit the ground
Better not overturn that.
If it is a catch, he’s down by contact a couple yards short of where he ended up.
You can’t overturn this
not enough to overturn IMO
f u ref
Boooo!
fuck. thats BS
I do not approve.
Not enough Bullshit in the world for that call. No way you overturn that.
No need to mention how Replay is WORTHLESS
…the wheels are coming off.
Stop it. TO!!
jesus christ. how does Palmer throw this ball up into double coverage and complete it?!?!
Boy-king!
BIG RECEIVERS MATTER
Getting shafted by the refs..what’s new?
Boyking!
We bend before…let’s not break boys. TURNOVER TIME!!
pushups
why cant it ever be easy…
there you go boykin.
Well, I spoke too soon about the quality of the Cardinals offense this game. Hope I didn’t jinx..
That’s BS
They got every call we get none? This is insanity
looks to me like hte defender initiated contact…. but Roc had his hand on the jersey…
These refs are killing us. We’re getting outnumbered.
so glad we left them hanging around
OK. We;ve done this before. 7 shots from 1 yard line. No points.
Zebras need glasses.
ok, theres one. give me more defense.
DEFENSE!!!!
well that was easy
jesus christ. that guy was wide open…. wtf.
FOles time!!!!
Every team runs that scrape play. Eagles included
Wow, it now feels like we’re going to lose this one. Another 4th quarter collapse.
Nope!!
Kendricks looking in the backfield.
looks like kendricks lost him…
Kendricks was just staring into the backfield.
Well…shit. At least it was because the Cardinals playing well instead of Chung being Chung…
all right offense. get your shit together and get some points!
Good thing we have all that time remaining on the clock to rebuild the lead. Otherwise I’d be concerned.
WHY has the Cards’ pass defense shut down the Eagles’ passing game?
What are the Cards doing?
Foles just looks off to me. he’s had a few chances.
FOles ain’t the problem..not always gonna be roses. He made enough plays, idiots like Avant and Kurt are killing us???we should have 35 points by now
Personally, Foles has looked really inaccurate this half. I don’t know if he got dinged or what.
On the WRs, they are playing tight, tight coverage. Not a lot of separation.
Well the Cards is one of the best defenses. They changed things and was able to get more pressure.
OMG I’m soo tired of them bringing up oregon
right? LOL
i swear its only the eagles games that they bring up this time of possession shit…
It’s REALLY annoying
encroachment.
cards are itching to go at the snap. time to draw them offsides.
Wow…Josh Gordon and Alshon Jeffery is tearing up this week too.
Oh god, not another 3 and out…
Once again, play calling stinks.
Did we decided to not put the starters back out on the offensive line in the 2nd half?
NOOOOooo
Correction: PHEEEEwwww
center of the Eagles’ o-line dominated by Cards
UGH GODDAMMIT
Flag no dice
anus unclenching.
We got one
better to be lucky that good
that makes up for the punt return touchdown penalty
I really do believe that I would not feel any emptiness in my life, if I was spared the wit and wisdom of Tony Siragusa.
What an idiot…as if we are gonna huddle up and let them substitute
tick, tick, tick, tick…
UNBALANCED LINE TIME!!!!
Only McCoy could make 4 guys miss and still only get 2 yards.
This is a good thing, btw.
they aren’t respecting foles on the keeper at all
He burning them now
i guess they saw that one coming!
They’re reading this!
Well to be fair, if I did, they should have seen that coming last quarter. Im a Dane for god sakes, what do i know.
come on
Awful…..awful play calling.
read option is a staple of chip kelly’s offense. this is why foles isn’t starting next year.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
didn’t we get a penalty for slamming a runner to the ground? isn’t that EXACTLY what just happened?!
if foles was 40 lbs lighter, that would have been a penalty
DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!!! Go take your respect boys!!!
Someone unjinx me NOW NOW NOW!!!
OK. Here we go. Game is on the defense.
Love it!!! Let’s do this
come on D…one more stop
These 3 and outs…you would think that Chip would realize that this shit doesn’t work already after the bye.
overtime and then loss incoming
Blah blah blah…you must not be paying attention to your eagles defense
Down vote me all you want, this D isn’t breaking. NOT TODAY!!!
glad to be wrong
loooks like we’re not going to cover that guy!?
Those guys with the cardinals on their helmets…yeah we should cover them.
I don’t care who is under center, if you don’t do anything in the 4th QTR, you aren’t going to win games late and in the playoffs.
Well, the test begins…
I’m dying on the inside.
This is how you go get respect!! We have bent before,,,this is not the time to break!!! NOT TODAY boys
Whatever happens, I’m disappointed with the performance of the entire Eagles’ offense after the 10:00 minute mark of the 3rd Q.
The Cards’ defense is good.
It’s not the 1991 Eagles.
Why do we always struggle with the Cardinals?
thank you carson
do they go for it on 4th?
definitely.
1 more play!
Make some NOIZ!!!
LETS GO DEFENSE!
FLETCHER!
Whew. Close one.
I think my heart stopped for a second…
I don’t care how many snaps the Oline has played all season, they got beat a lot today. That has something to do with the second half
ye of such little faith
And that’s game.
YES!
That’s how you go get your FUCKIN RESPECT BOYS!!!
mccoy td please.
Great coverage by Fletch!
Defense deserves the lion’s share of credit for this win. 21 points given all the opportunities the Cards had. Impressive.
Also, thank god we have a RZ offense.
you can’t call a penalty on Fletcher on that play after not calling all of the other ones earlier in the game. i applaud the refs for their consistency, i guess…
That sounds awfully rational, this is NFL refs we’re talking about.
game not over.
TD clinches
ballsy enough to go play action on 2nd down?
Nope. Playing for 3.
games not over yet, folks. cards can still get the ball back if we don’t get a first down.
Pound the rock Chippah!
Please, Kelly, don’t settle for a FG.
take a shot at the endzone, Chip. go for the kill
The way our offense is playing, I say FG.
i agree. i’m not terribly confident in them right now
Run the ball. Make the Cards use all their timeouts. Do NOT throw.
If you didn’t throw it on 2nd, I really don’t think you throw it on 3rd.
get a high percentage throw for first here.
The use of the time out early in the quarter looms big here. With that one time out, Arians would have punted.
obvious hold there.
Holding on defense?
They held Celek.
Wait, who is 85?
Casey?
Casey
Casey
Defensive holding
7-5
hah way to take as much time as possible off the clock with that play!
Stayed in bounds too. Auto first down. Take a knee.
Now it’s game.
Shut up Moose.
the threat of Nick Foles CAUSED that holding!
Shut up Moose.
Foles is crumbling now,
you grab the arm and delay the release of the runner, its holding. what else do you want?!
that is absolutely a hold
Moose is a dumb fuck
Holding the jersey and continuing to hold…I guess “hold” means something different for the crew calling the game than it does for the rest of the world
I’m just glad the refs saw it.
Jesus shut up Moose that was an obvious hold, holy shit.
Call the WHAAAAAAmbulance bitches!
Foles thought about keeping and running with that first kneel down…
Love the playcall. without the hold Casey walks into the endzone.
yep, not sure why they are mad. Dont hold the guy who was designed to get the ball
Great game by all.
Well, that was a tight one. I would have been a lot more comfortable with one more TD drive…
The Philadelphia Eagles – sponsored by your local Cardiac ward.
Jackson had a td punt return too bad it was called back
too close for comfort, but whew.
FLY EAGLES FLY!!!!!
..
DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!!
..
Not gonna be pretty for 60 min, but so important for a young team to learn to claw and scratch no matter what adversity…
…
We beat a good team making a lot of mistakes…imagine what happens when this young team cleans it up!!
.
we BATTLED today!!!
thats the toughest game out of the last 5. D stepped up and Foles did alright vs a talented defense. have to like how Chip has this team performing so soon in his tenure
The whole “Let’s play really well for 2.5 quarters and then shit the bed and let the other team into it” is going to cause me to die an early death.
It’ll be a race to the grave.
My money’s on me.
Take comfort in knowing you won’t be the last one.
btw, how was that anything but a hold?
That was a good win against a tough team; a playoff team. Granted, I would prefer 56-0, but those are the kind of games that help the team grow.
Headed in the right direction.
Terrible 4th QTR by the “O” and kelly’s play calling, bailed again, AGAIN, by the defense. Two turn overs by the D giving the igg’s great field position and the O goes 3 and out. I think the O line is too up and down, see ya next week. Great start to rebuilding the franchise, playing with house money.
I give them some leeway this game. The Cards was a top 3 defense.
Someone needs to examine Moose’s head with all that bitching about the holding call, there were definitely some iffy calls this game but that was not one of them. I love how they only showed the replay once too because if they showed it again he would have had to eat his words. I don’t understand these analysts sometimes they have to have the same damn replays we do, how do they fuck up so hard.
Fullbacks not brain well.
Kenny, Moose, and Goose are awful.
No, they’re below average. Phil Simms is awful.
there were more against us
I think he just wanted the Eagles to lose because they didn’t huddle and run out the clock in the 4th. He wanted them to pay for such non-standard practice.
Yep – the jersey pull at then end was the hold! It was pretty obvious.
As Tommy pointed out on twitter, that is the 8th straight team the Eagles D has held to 21pts or under.
I got a question. In late game situations where we know we are going to run only. Would Vick be a better QB? He would be able to pick up more yards on the keepers and he might give more room for the RB
Not an awful idea, however it relies on Vick not being rusty and/or getting injured.
And relies on him not turning the ball over.
I don’t trust Vick not turning the ball over EVER!
Agreed. Vick, unfortunately, is turnover prone trying to make things happen. Nick has earned the trust to be in there with the game on the line.
no
Id say no, not b/c of the douches below but because it’d be obvious what you are doing. It’d probably work for a game or two. I also think Vick would get hurt during one of those 40yds runs.
Did we use much play-action in the second half? It seems like we do better with play action passes, especially when the box has been stacked to stop McCoy.
Let’s go Vikings!!!!
Jesus, Vikings just blew it.
Tough battle, we clearly won the first 2.5 quarters, they clearly won the last 1.5 quarters. I feel like the offense started pressing in the 2nd half when things weren’t going well, Nick made some throws he doesn’t usually make.
One big takeaway from this game is either the Cardinals front 7 is all going to the pro bowl or our OL needs to step up their game bigtime. Or maybe some combination of both. They had a tough time run blocking and Foles was under pressure quite a bit.
I thought Chippah had a good gameplan using the tight ends so much, but it felt like once they adjusted to that we had a hard time finding something that works. Gotta credit the Cardinals D for making it tough, its obvious why they’re considered one of the best units in the league.
All in all I’ll take the win and hopefully its a learning experience for the team.
It’s funny, when our OL gave Foles time we were moving the ball and scoring. As soon as they started getting regular pressure, we’re 3&out over and over.
I felt like their coverage tightened up as well, you could see Foles was trying to force the ball in more in the 2nd half. Something for Foles to learn from, when things aren’t going well you can’t try and make things happen that aren’t there.
Lots of McCoy getting hit behind the line again. Makes it tough to run out the clock like that.
On a bright note (in addition to the win): at least the Eagles aren’t the Vikings
My favorite part of the whole broadcast: Kenny Moose and Goose talking about the Eagles running out the clock and how this isn’t college anymore… a few weeks after the Eagles bled 9 and a half minutes to ice a game almost purely by running the ball.
what was Foles final qb rating?
112
