NO at PHI – 1st Half
Posted: January 4th, 2014 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 517 Comments »Amazing first game. The Colts had an incredible comeback to win 45-44. I can’t believe Big Red lost that one. I feel for him after that.
Anyway, on to our game.
#Eagles inactives: QB Barkley, WR D.Johnson, CB Marsh, S K.Johnson, RB Tucker, C/G Vandervelde, and T Kelly … Earl Wolff is active
— Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) January 4, 2014
Good to see Earl Wolff on the field. Taking out Damaris Johnson shouldn’t be a big deal. The Eagles have depth at WR and RS (DJax, Smith and Boykin).
Go Eagles!!!
Just finished playing madden now back in position on my bed lets do this
Same here. I’m ready.
You are talking about the game, right?
Yeah my ritual since after the Vikings game
Ha, I used to do that.
You were the Eagles playing the Saints right?
Yupp
LETS GO BIRDS!
Go Birds!!!
I’m kind of surprised Al and Chris were able to pull themselves together after the crushing defeat of their team last weekend.
lol it was kind of funny to laugh about it afterwards, though. demarco murray 8 yard run = al michaels orgasm. chris polk 34 yard catch & run = al michaels checking his fb and twitter…
Chris just sais the weather won’t be a factor for Brees at all. Ok, thanks for that Chris.
Such a clown
Just finishing my burnt pizza, like last week (and the week before). GO BIRDS!
Keeping my things on my end up as well
Eagles fans are trained..we all know not to fuck with the ju ju
was just wondering where you were at! nice to have you for the party
nice work, my man!
all right, i’m watching the game at home (without the bad luck giants fan friend). in my room on the slingbox instead of the living room tv. got my girl here too who is nothing but good luck for us. no booze in me. i’m ready. let’s do this.
Tough loss for Andy. He’s aging to the point where he’s becoming Big Gray.
I can’t believe Reid lost that game. I don’t care who got hurt. He was great, etc. etc. but I so needed to win or lose in a different way.
Plus, maybe this shows Chip NEVER take the gas off in the playoffs.
let go, boys…time to Fly!!
AR losing was the appetizer…here comes the main course!
Let’s go BIRD. GANG!!!
GTFO here,..Ingram sucks
Who was that
fletcher
bah!
LBs seem to really be going after the ball so far.
Saints running?? wont last
WOW COLE PBU
COLE BOOGY!!!!
Cole in coverage!
Wow, Trent Cole with a huge pass break up right there.
Dline not getting any penetration.
phew. sproles had a step on barwin. too bad barwin didn’t turn around! would have been an easy pick.
COLE had Armstead beat almost
shit – connor turns his head there he almost could have had the pick
Wow, that looked like a TD – it died like a duck!
Of course they give him the fucking timeout.
all right! early timeout on the saints!
That was a late timeout
Hahaha dome team, early trouble on the road? Who is coaching? Andy?
GTFO here
What the hell!
And they don’t charge the timeout?!
What?
So they get a free timeout to talk it over? Fuck you.
Wtf
ok……… so….. now what?!
Saints players lose tape on nthe field, they clear it and don’t get charged for a TO? Wtf
back to 25 seconds?!?!?! they were at 3?@!?!?
phew!
wow Logan was held
Mugged.
Big time
Face it. The only people who want the Eagles to win anything are Eagles fans.
they are gonna go for it
We bend,,,but we don’t break!!! Meaningless yards that count against our horrible pass stats…great job by barwin
really should have had him 2-3 yards earlier : /
FUCK ME!
OMFG
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
False start guys!!
LOL!
Bitch ass Dome team!
Desean will return his first punt for a TD…
EAT SHIT PAYTON
Soggy, wet, diareah shit!
In that case he would have to drink shit
Smooothie!
Is that pea butter smoothie? Lol
I’m certainly not opposed to Peyton ingesting shit in any way…he can snort it for all I care
Nice to see Trent Cole do well in coverage. To bad Chung’s still bad.
Barwin was excellent Jaming Graham
Meco,Barwin,Trent Cole force them to punt…how about them eagles linebackers?
FOles just forced them to tip their blitz
ahh. thought mccoy had a hole there.
Foles is money on 3rd downs.
Ertz GEagle!!!!
Like a fuckin BOSS!!!
..
Graham my ass
RG3!would never make it to his third progression to hit Ertz even if it was all a decoy t get to Ertz,,.rg3 ain’t ready to play QB like that!
Nice, clean pocket!
mccoy is really following the blocking scheme so far this game. isn’t getting him much yet, but its just a matter of time.
Yup, Them small holes will turn into the Red Sea later if we stick to it
that was a nice looking play. sad that it didn’t get us more than that.
damn!
I don’t like the offense not scoring.
Donnie money!!
be patient. work the TEs to soften up the run D
Rob Ryan has made some interesting calls, but it’s pretty obvious he has to blitz to get any pressure.
Yup, and he will get burnt for it…seemed like FOles tried to throw hot it McCoy wasn’t on the same page
Do you guys have this “League of Angels” ad running continuously off to the right? It’s quite distracting!
yeah….Game…tits…GAME…tiiiits…GAME…of tits…
Foles not looking totally sharp. Probably just nerves.
And the cold.
Brees also does not look sharp
Good awareness there by Cox.
Cox saw the screen at the last possible moment!
That’s how you defend a good screen pass…defense is prepared
Defense!
Get fcking hype ducker!!
Pressure makes Brees throw low….that’s defense in the cold boys
Whew. So far so good.
every ppunt is a small victory
Pulse is 180 and it’s the first quarter. I’m not going to make it am I?
hahah i’m glad i don’t have any way of measuring my pulse right now!
Nice flip of field position there.
short field here…
Anti-Donnie Jones!
Field Position Game!
Shady and TE and Shady and TE.
“You complete me”
Brees is no Orton
Viper!
I think the offenses will get themselves untracked as they generate some heat…
Let’s get 7 here men and let them them know what kind of night this is going to Be…throw at Roman Harper NOW..or Run it 3 times in a row
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdLe_w0IcAA5YZU.jpg
gotta respect the qb keeper.
Attaboy FOles…give them something to think of
sigh
That had to be a busted play.
someone on the left side of the line missed a block, then the backside defender caught up.
Not a good series
that was never gunna go for 11 yards 🙁
Terrible 3rd down play.
Oh boy..these 3 and outs.
dohhhhhhhhhhhh
I want to cry
terrible job
how’d they stuff that up?!?!
fuck you carmichael.
That’s the sort of idiocy I would do. I’m not a pro player.
How…wha….?
This is interesting. Saints obviously aware of Casey’s whams, Kelly explicitly gave up that third down and went for field position. Of course botched pin at the one messed that plan up a little.
Roc fucking carmichael kicks in the perfect punt…he is lucky Donnie Longball can do this all night
well that was a total wasted opportunity of field position followed by an idiot play by carmichael
Roc foot
Team just needs to calm down. I’m sure these guys haven’t experienced anything like this before. No big deal.
Got off to a slow start in the snow game as well. Playing outside isn’t easy in nasty weather.
You better pick Brees off now Roc.
feeling them out
Doesn’t exactly look like this will be 45-44 in the end.
We almost got our helmet on Ingrams ball…we have to make him fumble
vicious double team in the middle of the DL there. got blown off the LOS
Square needs to bulk up.
Ingram is running on us
Probably playing nickel. Gotta give up something to the offense.
really wish that Square wouldn’t throw the guy forward for a first down when he tackles them.
We have to upgrade square…nix? Hagemen? That’s for another day
ugh. DL has got to do better
Well, we did have 4 guys around him
Fletcher!
FLETCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Int baby
yes yes yes!!!
Nice job fletcher
Come on Foles. Lead this team to a TD.
Defense Again – Now score!
How about YOUR MOTHER FUCKIN DEFENSE!!!!
Shit…nice tackle there
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Time for O to step up
really surprised to see Fletcher keeping up with Stills that far down the field.
It almost looks like the Birds are using a mush rush to clog up the throwing lanes. Brees is too short to see over that so he’s probably throwing blind.
Thought the same thing…not sure tho yet
Don’t go 3 and out!
oh, shit. Bunkley.
1st down!
there we go! big play.
pretty good run there. i like it.
We need Shady now!
this game is winnable. need 27 points
Lol FOles learns from Brady???awesome..
..
Like shady stickig to the holes
The Captain!
CELEK! big play!
It’s starting to Drizzle…the rain maker is heatng up
little high on that dump off to mccoy there haha
nearly a hospital pass
Their line is exhausted.
Need some sports science in their life…bunkley was about to have a heartattack
Yes sir…this Will pay off in the long run…just keep feeding shady
Bunkley is so fat n lazy hahahaha
like shah8 said earlier – saints have 0 pass rush if they don’t blitz
Yep. OL doing a good job so far.
terrible spot
agree, about twice as far out from the first down marker as it should be
saints getting gassed
Ah, more debris on the field?
are we going to blame this one on tape on the field too?
if their pass rush is already gassed its going to be a fun night for our offense.
Very encouraging sign.
Especially with Nick heating up, and really manipulating the defense…kids nuances for the position are off the charts for this stage in his development
I’m blown away that they are showing signs of exhaustion already. It’s the first quarter and our fast paced offense should be something they have looked at all week. If they are unprepared for it, that is a good sign for us.
Popeyes will do that to you. Great nap food!
You can’t improve your conditioning in 3 days…if you haven’t been training like us since April, you are fucked
Saints needed a pink gatorade refill and some Popeyes mac n cheese
Go for it.
sigh
shit. go for it here?
Come on…that can’t fuckin happen
They need to stay in shotgun
Kelce totally overpowered.
every week he gets blown up. pro bowl center. really?
Fake injuries smh
Saints faking injuries already?
they just took a timeout. don’t think this guys faking it lol
Unless they r still tired n don’t wanna burn another
fair point. lol
well, what do we do?
This is Chip. We go. No question.
f it lets play to win
Score points, of course!
games winnable and kelce gets blown up again
sorry – i know they’re a dome team. i know we play uptempo. but how the hell can they call themselves “professional athletes” if they don’t have the fitness to last 1 freaking quarter? what bullshit!
If you haven’t been training like us since April you are fucked
…
Today’s motto: you need some sports science in your life!!!
sucks but gotta kick and take the points
yeah
Agree. Gotta kick
Like I said…go
I’m OK with either decision.
in Chip i trust.
Get on the board, kick it
Dudes head is steaming wow.
HUGE RUN love it
Demoralizing
I wanted the points, but fuck me, In Chip I Trust!
kelce totally makes up for the other play!
damn.
Lane got beat right?
Remember that play. If Lofton is jumping that route, they may set him up later in the game.
Well that didn’t work
Are you kidding me
Goddammit Foles, you need to get rid of it.
jeez foles! wtf was that?!?!
Oh come on
Dammit Foles, you have to be better than that.
ah man cant take the sack there
Nick… Don’t do that
/me blows top
UNACCEPTABLE PLAY
wow wtf throw it away
Absolutely can’t take that sack. With that amount of time, need to roll out and get rid of the ball.
Hit the f@cking check down option. Horrendous.
Or step into and heave that shit into the stands. Dammit, do something other than take the sack.
that was my thought exactly. we were at the 20, he should be able to hit row 15 with minimal effort
He will learn and soon.
FOles can’t do that when he has all fuckin day to throw it away…when the clock in your head strikes 5 throw it Away
Chip better not run it here. We need points
might just run a draw to get closer for a shorter FG
I dont trust henry in this cold. We need atleast 10 yards
looks like Kelly’s screen game’s been figured out. totally
time for some fake screens and toss it downfield : )
just like his offense didn’t work after 2 tough games
call me next time a screen works
Getting nervous thinking about Henery here
Play action then pass for TD.
Play action on 3rd and forever?
Field goal positioning ploy.
Wheel route down the sideline to shady
~44 yard FG attempt? i dunno.
dont miss this
GODDAMMIT
shit
Oh look, Henery’s kick hooked again. Joy.
New Kicker.
Screw you Henerey.
Fuck!
Of course
terrible series at the end. Just terrible.
Celek should have slapped down that pass before all the nastiness happened.
thats 100% on Foles for taking that sack.
ok, maybe only 80%, Henery still has to kick it. lol
100%. McCoy was wide open on the sideline. Did the same crap repeatedly in the Dallas game last week.
lets put in vick
Easy to blame Foles. However, playoff kickers need to make 48 yard kicks.
That was a horrible series of calls.
How did I know?
Ok Henery loverse wheres the excuses now.
why blame henery. he’s lousy. blame kelly for keeping him
Gotta give young kids with pedigree a chance to grow..by your rational we wouldn’t have a team,,,,but come the fuck on henery! you little shit
I really hate this kicker…never trusted this slimey little vato
uh oh. more tape on the field……………
Come on Defense.. Go take your respect
seemed like a pretty shitty spot on the ball by the line judge that was right in front of the ball….
snapped the ball right when the DL shifted. that ain’t good.
Good play by Logan.
great coverage
ugh. guy fell down and theres no one around for like 3 seconds geez
no wind on that Henery miss
Just a drunken idiot kicker
Two guys in the backfield and he still gets it.
momentum has swung
ugh.hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh defense penetrated the hell out of the line.. on the wrong side.
Cox again blowing up that play.
INTENTIONAL GROUNDING! oh wait… that only happens in dallas
Come on defense..you are well prepared..trust your technique and go make a play
Need a play here
3rd and long? Ugh.
You misspelled ‘Yay’.
Woo!
Woo, I say!
Sorry, then you misspelled “Woo” in your previous post.
How about your fuckin defense?
he is down
Replay looked like maybe not
either its a turnover or he is short
Overturn, here it comes.
He was down.
He was down sigh…
He’s down but short
do we get to keep it?! i only saw a really quick replay as they went to an ad break…. was his knee down?
He was down.
Looked down a fraction of a second before the ball came out. Probly be overturned. Might be short of the line to gain.
i actually can’t tell when the ball came loose. he dropped it on his own
nevermind, ryans knocked it out
wow – it’s so bloody close! they should stick with ruling on the field right?! 😉
Gotta be “conclusive” – you never know
We get screwed
awfully close…
They are gonna reverse it….lame
they will overturn it
Would love to keep it as called, but the right call is down.
The shin bone is connected to the….
shit, and from that angle, it looks like he has enough for the first down too : (
to close to change
I wish. He’s down
extra time on the review due to confirming the proper placement of the ball?
Likely…its short
maybe we can spend an hour on this
bugger
GTFO here…I hate this league
damn damn damn
had to process that for a second “call on the field was reversed”……. ok… so… ahh shit.
Right call. Sucks, but they need to get it right.
I can’t be mad at the right call but screw you ref.
hope no qb sneak again
go fans
FALSE START
I’m not convinced his knee was down, but, whatever.
False start!
Nvm. I love you ref.
hey, its just part of getting it right.
Fuck them…punch these dome bitches in the mouth
Good stand. One of the keys was holding them to FG’s.
Yes sir
saints fans are saying the key is doing what they’re doing
wow a fg kicker that makes fgs
ok offense…time to step up
That’s how you kick Henery. I hope you recorded that.
Alright Foles….get your S together.
We’re lucky not to be down a TD. Now we have to get our own offense on track.
we should be tied 3-3
Is that what a decent field goal looks like? I don’t remember.
Chip needs to get desean involved
this
That started drifting right, then came back to the middle.
facing the opposite side of the field, would that have hooked wide? (is there wind?)
Ok, let’s roll.
Henry won’t be here next year. Chip will not put up with that. Missing in game 2 is one thing. Gotta be clutch in the playoffs.
Kid just does not have it.
who will take his place? some on the street vet? or another rookie? i dunno which of those i really like… (don’t know who is on the street)
Donnie Jones was a street vet in the offseason.
doesn’t seem to have a decent leg either.
not going to lose 3-0, so no big deal.
Do a shot with me Cliff lol…I’m locked and loaded
i’m trying to stick w/ miller lites, but every punt gets me closer and closer to johnny
Tom, you might have to put up a fresh thread each quarter??this high volume is already freezing things up
Refresh your screen.
seems ok to me
Can McCoy not to look to turn every single run outside the tackle?
he’s been doing a good job of following the play so far this game. first one i’ve seen that he bounced outside
and 3 and out
This ain’t the old, bad Saints D
playoff defense embarrassing this offense
then get a pic 6
I will say it again. Feed desean the ball. That will open things up for shady
INT INT INT
Forced fumble…I want Brees to feel it
Foles had to place the ball to Celek a little better. However, there is nothing I hate more than Celek’s Tip Special. A lot of interceptions have happened because Celek trying for a one handed catch and tipping it.
This next defensive series is crucial. Another successful, long drive is probably going to affect their long term ability to be stout in the fourth..;
is d-jax playing offense tonight?
Yeah refresh seemed to help..thanks,and my bad
Ryan isn’t blitzing as much as I thought he would and dropping back 7 pretty regularly in coverage
you mean like dallas
Damn we had that…fuckin scab back
Let’s fuckin Go….DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!!
Run defense has been nonexistant so far. Every touch is going for at least 4 yards.
MECO!
fark yeah!
Demeco!!
How you love that?
BOOM!
Cap with the int
Fuck Yea!
OK GET ME SOME POINTS OFFENSE!
time for points
And defense bails the offense, and themselves out.
love the return – pointing for blocks!
that was pretty sweet
Offense absolutely needs to pick it up. GET SOMETHING GOING OFFENSE!
Lets go Folesssssss
there you go, coop!
We have a guy with a chant? Coop?
coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop
Let’s go DUCKER..called that one mate.
…
COOP THERE IT IS! Shackalacka Shackalacka shackalacka
we need more of your psychic skills here haha
Lol…the holes are starting to open lol
WTF no runs?
You rang?
There ya go.
Saints are gift wrapping us this game. For the love of all things holy, please step it up Foles/offense!
They gift wrap nothing!! Defense is fuckin well prepared and playin with serious heart and focus!!! We taking this shit!!! Their conditioning level can’t hold up for another half…technique will get sloppy, and the avalanche will come
saints more prepared?
Dude, I don’t view football as a picnic were it’s all cupcakes and unicorns..shit gets ugly
You were saying boss?? Tell me about that saints defense again? As if the damn wasn’t going to break..only a matter of time
Desean TIME!!!
avant almost tripped over someone trying to go out on that route
Looked like he had McCoy with open space on the other side.
fake injury
al michaels you ass. this has nothing to do with stopping the clock
i like the 1 yard passes to our slowest wr
They never saw it coming
avant’s been playing alot last 2 weeks. not sure why or the change
i’d rather see Ertz take more of his snaps
all-time warrior, so tough to talk bad about the guy, but, yeah, landry lsu in 2nd
Or Brad Smith.
Someone doesn’t like Brad Smith!
NBC is shameless
They all do it. Give up the fight, too much $$ out there.
Oh good, a commercial so in 8 seconds, we have MORE COMMERCIALS.
$$ for the nfl
2 commercials no plays when we let this go to 2 min
And NBC represents Philadelphia with…Barry Manilow music
wtf just happened??! they just ran out the 8 seconds before the 2 min warning when we weren’t there/!?
or did we just not attempt a play?
Saints conditioning can’t hold up another 30 min..technique gets sloppy, we feed off it and get sharper!!!!
like a lead at half brother.
These stoppages of play are making me glad I took my meds.
inside 2 minutes.
now every play can be reviewed for about 20 minutes
It hit you in the hand Ertz…c’mon man!
should have had that
ahhhhhhhhhh. looked like Ertz didn’t think the ball would make it to him
Ertz…that hurts
COOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah!!!
Cooooooop
COOOOOP.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!
yes,,,what a throw…he’s settled in
COOOOOOOOOOOOP
COOOOP! you owed us that from GB, we’re even
All Day Protection!
Nick, see that 41?
Throw at him all day.
How was that for ball placement, Shah0?
Big. Time. Throw.
That did not look quite right, but we’ll sure as heck take it!
I think he threw it behind Coop on purpose – he knew the change in direction would make the defender slip over 😉
COOP THERE IT IS! Coop there it is..Shackalacka Shackalacka Shackalacka Coop There it IS!!!
..
The rainmaker just delivered LAZOR and I don’t mean Billy!! I’m talking flaming fireball..
Rushing just 3 there? Almost inevitable someone will get open with 7+seconds to throw.
Great play right there! Now need to prevent points before half and get the ball back at the beginning of the 3rd.
7.14 seconds from snap to catch. Great protection.
Man, you’re on it, Tommy!
3 man rush. seriously
Peters held his guy off for juuust long enough.
Need a stop
I want the BALL!!!
Henery can’t get the ball inside the 5. Probably 42 max for FG
I HATE his kickoffs. but he did have a 47-48 yarder the other day
Hat’s off on that one.
Giving up way to many yards way to quickly right now.
coverage sack for graham.
BG!!!
Graham aaaalmost had that one…
B dot GRIZZLE. Is IN THE BUILDING!!!!
Interesting timeout. Andy would not have taken one there. He wouldn’t even have any left…
Bree’s thinking twice there about tossing it deep again.
DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE!!!
once again, thats intentional grounding in dallas.
Oh fuck you! they did that to us in Dallas!
unreal
Fuck the damn refs
No way do they just call what Brees tells them to call?
I guess arguing for a flag does work…….
they can’t do that – you can’t make a call after a discussion about shit. see it and call it or bugger off!
intentional grounding gets offsetting penalties, no?
hold them to 3 here
NATE ALLEN MADE A PLAY! NATE ALLEN MADE A PLAY!
Great play by Allen!
holy Nate Allen in coverage!
nate allen – what a difference a year makes 🙂
DEFENSE!! DEFENSE! DEFENSE…turnover!!!
Yes, that was holding. But that was utterly disgraceful how they waited 10 seconds later after Brees gave them an earful to throw the flag.
BRAMA BULL BARWIN gets one every game
Conner “Mutumbo” Barwin
Not in my house lol
TRENT COLE!
Wait!, maybe the refs want to give that to them too.
GET SOME Mr. Cole
Wish they had henery
They actually fired the kicker they started the season with. Now they have a new guy.
curry being held
connor barwin just flatened graham again 🙂
The BRAMA BULL Barwin!
No chip shot here
God I hate Henerey.
if he misses a game winner….cut his leg off before he leaves town
Gotta watch for the onside after the half.
Damn, close one
thats the difference between a good kicker and an OK kicker, right there.
I really hope we don’t lose by 3 points or fewer. >:(
Actually, that’s the difference between a guy pulled off the street and Henerey
wow. just saw that. now i’m sad! : (
They’re playing hard…..
The Saints should be buried right now. The offense was way too sloppy.
i think they started slow, but really seemed to figure things out the last couple of drives. i’m still more worried about stopping Brees.
Yeah we are getting in a groove..FOles played well, we just started to put it all together late. I’m expecting us to put up some points now..
..
get the ball at half..that’s why you difer lol
Saints fans are probably saying that Eagles should be buried right now.
Perhaps Cole is also playing the run, but I think he can beat their LT with more of a bull rush, as Graham showed on two plays
