Game Preview – PHI at SEA

Posted: November 20th, 2016 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 451 Comments »

Carson Wentz and the Eagles played well against the Falcons defense last week. Seattle runs basically the same scheme. That’s good news, right? There is one small difference. Seattle has good players.

I certainly don’t agree with that, but this is going to be a real challenge. The Eagles get one bit of good news, with DL Michael Bennett still out due to injury. Unfortunately Kam Chancellor returned last week and he’s a huge part of that secondary (literally and figuratively).

I wrote my preview for PE.com and talked about the need for another good rushing performance. I doubt the Eagles go for 208 yards again this week, but they need to run the ball a lot. You don’t want to throw the ball against Seattle too much.

  • Rookie QB
  • Poor WRs
  • Let’s their DL tee off and crowd noise helps the pass rush

Even if you run 3 times, get 8 yards and punt, that isn’t necessarily a bad possession. The key is for the Eagles defense to keep Seattle from putting up points. If Russell Wilson starts making plays, you have to open up the offense and take some chances.

As I said in the preview, this is a game where the Eagles need their stars to play like stars. Fletcher Cox has been solid for the past month. Today the Eagles need him to be huge. They need him to be regularly disruptive.

I’m curious to see if Jim Schwartz rushes 4 and focuses on coverage or if he blitzes to force Wilson to stay in the pocket. One of the real keys to this game is for the Eagles to limit big plays. Seattle has enough weapons that they can move the ball on long drives, but they are most deadly when they get the big pass plays. The Eagles DL must win the battle up front and the DBs need to plaster receivers. Wilson extends plays with his legs. DBs must cover until the whistle blows.

The Eagles really put the clamps on PIT and ATL. They will need a similar defensive effort today in order to win this game.

The offense has to limit penalties and avoid turnovers. The Seattle D is too good. You cannot help them out.

Couple of interesting notes. Tobin is normally the #3 OT. Allen Barbre is healthy and would likely move outside if there was an injury. I think the Eagles like having Isaac Seumalo active. He is bigger and more physical than Tobin so he helps the extra OL run sets.

Kamu Grugier-Hill is back and will be a big part of STs. He was very good early this year.

Nolan Carroll, Jordan Matthews and Zach Ertz are all playing. All 3 need to play well today if the Eagles are going to pull off the upset.

    I think the Eagles will get good pressure against Seattle’s O-line, but I am very nervous about Wilson avoiding the pass rush and making big plays.

    Moving on to Vikings game for a few minutes before I catch beginning of Rams game. I have no hope for NYG or DAL games.

    Not expecting Ertz to show up after that hit on Gronk last week.

    heres the goff era

  9. 9 Corry said at 4:06 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I don’t know what to expect. On one hand, we’ve beaten teams no one gave us a chance to beat. On the other hand, we’re lousy on the road. I’m expecting the defense to keep us in the game, but I think they pull away late.

  10. 10 scratcherk said at 4:07 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    goffs first pass — horrid.

  13. 13 BobSmith77 said at 4:08 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I don’t think Caplan is too far off and most importantly the Eagles need to convert in the red zone this week. Don’t see them having more than 3 chances and they need to convert at least 2/3 of them for TDs to have a decent chance to win.

  14. 14 BobSmith77 said at 4:09 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    The other question is which version of Mathews shows up this week. If the Eagles don’t get last week’s version, I see their chances being minimal.

    Don’t need 100+ yds and multiple scores but they do need him to hit the holes decisively and quickly, add some yards after contact like he did last week, and not fumble.

  15. 15 CrackSammich said at 4:12 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Arizona still has a chance to make this day not a complete loss for us so far.

  16. 16 BobSmith77 said at 4:12 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Out of all 3 Tommy listed, I am least confident in Ertz playing well. Seahawks have troubled at times with the 2nd TE this year but done a good/very good job on primary TE.

    I see Ertz at 3-4 catches this week with 25-35 yards.

  17. 17 scratcherk said at 4:15 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    surprised celek hasnt caught more passes this year. maybe trey will have a decent day

  18. 18 CrackSammich said at 4:14 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    nevermind.

    Yeah, thanks Arizona. Pfffttttbbhhhbhbh

  20. 20 Sean Stott said at 4:17 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Very winnable game. I think we match up well, just worried about a litany of false starts, delays of game, and other procedural stuff.

  21. 21 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:24 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Think Caplan has this pegged. We need a game like last year’s NE game. Lots of turnovers going our way with a big special teams play.

  22. 22 scratcherk said at 4:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    deferred.

  23. 23 scratcherk said at 4:26 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    playing against wilson is typically infuriating.

  24. 24 Corry said at 4:27 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Fletcher got good push up the middle.

  25. 25 Crus57 said at 4:27 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Got GEagle proofreading your posts?

  32. 32 daveH said at 5:03 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    To me its the C (instead of “Sea”) and the Ocks . . Obviously a softer pronounced “hawks”

  33. 33 SteveH said at 4:28 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Nice job D, their OL looks like no match for our DL.

  34. 34 scratcherk said at 4:28 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  36. 36 CrackSammich said at 4:29 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    This also bodes well

  37. 37 Corry said at 4:29 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    On that pass play, Burton quadrupled Ertz’s YAC yardage total for the year.

  38. 38 John Galt said at 4:30 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    CBS using any two second break to shove a commercial up our ass

  39. 39 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:30 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Fake injury. They’re just slowing the game down and stopping our momentum.

  40. 40 Dave said at 4:30 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Is that Burton out wide instead of Ags. I’m so pumped right now.

  41. 41 Crus57 said at 4:31 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Good hands by Burton, that wasn’t a simple catch.

  42. 42 CrackSammich said at 4:31 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Goff’s accuracy is alllll over the place.

  43. 43 John Galt said at 4:32 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    But his inaccuracy is right on

  75. 75 Corry said at 4:40 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Bennie Logan blocked the point after.

  77. 77 Aaron said at 4:40 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    that vaunted Eagles D line just got punched in the balls again

  78. 78 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:40 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Now I remember why I hate the wide-9.

  79. 79 Crus57 said at 4:42 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    to be fair, wouldn’t have mattered whatver the alignment with how well their OL bulldozed our DL out of the way.

  80. 80 Corry said at 4:42 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Also had Mills take a bad angle and run himself out of the play. McCleod took a bad angle then too.

  81. 81 Checkdown Charlie said at 4:41 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    11 PATs missed today

  82. 82 Aaron said at 4:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    just run it 3x’s and punt

  83. 83 CrackSammich said at 4:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    that’s 1

  84. 84 Aaron said at 4:44 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    2x’s now

  85. 85 CrackSammich said at 4:44 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    wouldn’t recommend punting now.

  86. 86 Aaron said at 4:45 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    almost time

  87. 87 Patrick said at 4:44 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    RUN THE BALL ANDY!…

    RUN THE BALL ANDY JR. !!!!!

  88. 88 SeanofDead said at 4:44 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    now comes our running game

  89. 89 Corry said at 4:45 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That’s OK. Let ’em know we’ll go for it, though that ball needed to be deeper.

  90. 90 Patrick said at 4:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Treggs actually had the speed to burn Thomas. Not enough juice on the pass and not enough field anyways, barring a perfect pass, but encouraging to see the deep threat.

  91. 91 CrackSammich said at 4:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Just a late throw.

  92. 92 Corry said at 4:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yeah I agree with that. He got pressure faster than expected I think.

  93. 93 A Roy said at 4:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Earlier throw would’ve done it.

  94. 94 Crus57 said at 4:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    brave to throw early vs this secondary though

  95. 95 A Roy said at 4:50 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yeah. Hope it opens some things up

  96. 96 Patrick said at 4:50 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    If the player was DeSean maybe. I wouldn’t be so quick to throw deep against Earl Thomas when targeting a UDFA who has been active for 3 weeks and have 2 NFL catches.

  97. 97 CrackSammich said at 4:45 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Alright placement. late throw.

  98. 98 CrackSammich said at 4:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Is Chancellor back in yet?

  99. 99 Crus57 said at 4:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    was only out 1 play I think

  100. 100 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  104. 104 CrackSammich said at 4:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    and of course Tobin isn’t active today.

  105. 105 Corry said at 4:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Barbre kicks out and Wiz comes in.

    You can knock Mills for his finger wag all you want, but it’s gotta be absolutely infuriating.

  118. 118 Dragon_Eagle said at 4:52 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Good coverage Mills.

    a DGB sighting..nice

  127. 127 John Galt said at 4:57 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    DGB can run a slant

  128. 128 Sb2bowl said at 4:57 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I’m surprised Ertz didn’t drop the ball when he saw Kam coming in for the tackle

  129. 129 John Galt said at 4:58 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    There’s a brown spot on the back of his pants

  130. 130 Sb2bowl said at 4:58 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That’s the “away” uniform

  131. 131 Corry said at 4:57 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    You have to keep the D honest and run to the outside, but man I hate doing that against a speedy defense.

  132. 132 daveH said at 4:59 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    HATE that long throw, underthrown, to Treggs … we killed our own momentum

    sweet..I cant remember seeing a Wentz sneak

  147. 147 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:04 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I can’t remember it being successful. We failed at it a couple times.

  148. 148 scratcherk said at 5:04 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    when a stiff arm misses, it looks funny

  149. 149 Insomniac said at 5:04 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Doug is calling a hell of a drive so far.

  152. 152 Aaron said at 5:04 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    all of youfans of ertz, celek is still better

  153. 153 Corry said at 5:04 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Brent Celek gets tackled by 17 Seahawks.

  154. 154 Patrick said at 5:04 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Celek = money!

  155. 155 John Galt said at 5:05 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Put Ertz in a room and make him watch that play on a loop for 5 hours

  156. 156 Insomniac said at 5:06 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Can’t teach toughness.

  157. 157 John Galt said at 5:06 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Sadly you are correct

  158. 158 daveH said at 5:08 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Schmertz doesn’t look like he works out upper body

  159. 159 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:06 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That’s how you YAC!!

  160. 160 scratcherk said at 5:07 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  161. 161 Aaron said at 5:07 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  162. 162 Corry said at 5:07 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Mathews a little gimpy there.

  163. 163 scratcherk said at 5:08 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    YAC BABY!

  164. 164 scratcherk said at 5:08 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    literally one yard.

  165. 165 Corry said at 5:08 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Baby steps.

  166. 166 John Galt said at 5:09 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I’ll take it from the 1 yd line

  167. 167 John Galt said at 5:08 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yea

  168. 168 Corry said at 5:08 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Nice route and play by Ertz there.

  169. 169 Checkdown Charlie said at 5:08 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yay Ertz

  170. 170 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:08 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Tight Ends all day today.

  171. 171 Insomniac said at 5:09 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Two of the most unlikely things happened.

    We scored on a throw in the RZ.
    Ertz almost broke the tackle.

  172. 172 Ark87 said at 5:09 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Bizarro world where refs are terrible in our favor and Ertz went through someone for a touchdown, wtf

  173. 173 scratcherk said at 5:09 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    i’ll take it all day

  174. 174 A Roy said at 5:09 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That certainly feels good.

  175. 175 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:10 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Especially given that we completed most of that drive without JP, it was very impressive.

  176. 176 nicolajNN said at 5:11 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Hopefully not jinxing it, but pass pro looked solid on the drive

  177. 177 kid said at 5:11 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    beautiful

  178. 178 daveH said at 5:11 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  180. 180 daveH said at 5:12 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I was thinking just by a few minutes

  181. 181 daveH said at 5:11 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I SAW AGHOLAR THROW a nice block

  182. 182 Corry said at 5:12 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That was awesome kick coverage.

  183. 183 scratcherk said at 5:12 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    how the heck did they get down theere so fast.

  184. 184 Patrick said at 5:13 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Seahawks fans are so salty about the refs that drive. I love it. Makes me feel good about all the times we bitch about no calls.

    Hot Brunette drinking a beer

  186. 186 scratcherk said at 5:14 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    NICE FUCKING D

  187. 187 Corry said at 5:14 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Jesus, that was a good clean hit by Carroll.

  188. 188 meteorologist said at 5:14 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    GREAT TONE SETTING HIT CARROLL

  189. 189 Patrick said at 5:14 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Hicks looked about ready to kill some seahawk after the play.

  190. 190 Insomniac said at 5:15 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    What a beautiful sound.

  191. 191 Ark87 said at 5:15 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Holy crap Jim Schwartz for president, we are being more physical than Seattle, what was the last Eagle team you can say that about

  192. 192 scratcherk said at 5:15 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    does that mean trump coaches our D then

  193. 193 scratcherk said at 5:16 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  194. 194 Insomniac said at 5:16 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  195. 195 Insomniac said at 5:15 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    maybe the 2004 team.

  196. 196 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:15 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    c’mon turnover

  197. 197 A Roy said at 5:16 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That’s a pick

  198. 198 Sean Stott said at 5:16 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Just realized we now need to root for Dallas to beat WAS next week. Ugh.

  199. 199 scratcherk said at 5:16 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    nah, cant do it.

  200. 200 Sean Stott said at 5:17 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    someone needs to set the edge on that

  206. 206 Insomniac said at 5:20 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    DL is really struggling on this drive.

  207. 207 scratcherk said at 5:21 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    rawls is a load

  208. 208 John Galt said at 5:21 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Playing that soft on 2nd & 30 was a mistake

  209. 209 Insomniac said at 5:22 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    2nd and 20*

  210. 210 wallacemnw said at 5:22 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Wait, it was 2nd and 30!?! WTF!

  211. 211 FairOaks said at 5:24 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    2nd and 20. Wilson passed for 17 the next play.

  212. 212 Corry said at 5:23 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  221. 221 John Galt said at 5:24 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Offsides. 3 and 11

  222. 222 Sb2bowl said at 5:24 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I’m back. Crying baby. My daughter, not Ertz. Let’s go Birds!

  223. 223 scratcherk said at 5:24 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    thought he got back

  224. 224 scratcherk said at 5:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    wtf was that.

  225. 225 Corry said at 5:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Jaylen Watkins with a hug instead of a tackle attempt.

  226. 226 John Galt said at 5:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Cox got held

  227. 227 scratcherk said at 5:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    definitely

  228. 228 Sb2bowl said at 5:26 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Back judge was out of position to call it.

  229. 229 Checkdown Charlie said at 5:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Ole tackling

  230. 230 SeanofDead said at 5:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    jeez, thought he was throwing it away

  231. 231 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That was vintage Russell Wilson.

  232. 232 wallacemnw said at 5:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Ugh.

  233. 233 Ark87 said at 5:25 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Not much of an effort to tackle by Watkins, what was that

  234. 234 Crus57 said at 5:26 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Watkins WTF? It’s not Ertz you’re tackling.

  235. 235 meteorologist said at 5:26 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Mccloud is playing injured. Has to be. Showed no long speed on the td run and briefly grabbed his leg after the Jimmy Graham td

  236. 236 Corry said at 5:26 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Piss poor showing by the defense on that drive.

  237. 237 Tumtum said at 5:27 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    If only this were two hand touch. Watkins would make the HoF.

  238. 238 Insomniac said at 5:27 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Where’s the double coverage on Graham seriously? The guy has been on a tear lately and it’s like people forgot that he’s a beast…

  239. 239 SteveH said at 5:27 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Here I was thinking Jaylen Watkins deserved more playing time. What do I know?

  240. 240 Crus57 said at 5:28 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    In preseason maybe

  241. 241 Insomniac said at 5:29 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Graham does have like 70 pounds on him.

  242. 242 John Galt said at 5:28 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    PETERS and r Mathews out. Gonna be tough to win this one

  243. 243 Corry said at 5:29 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    False, Peters back in.

  244. 244 Crus57 said at 5:29 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Peters is back

  245. 245 John Galt said at 5:29 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    PETERS back

  246. 246 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:29 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Complain all you want about the tackle, but Watkins is giving up 70 pounds to Graham. Its a mismatch once Graham gets the ball in his hands.

  247. 247 Sb2bowl said at 5:30 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That’s a tough matchup

  248. 248 ACViking said at 5:29 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Hoping that Pederson doesn’t default to Sproles as his #1 back now if/when R-Mathews cannot return.

  249. 249 SteveH said at 5:29 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Actually now that Mathews is out I wouldn’t mind that.

  250. 250 Insomniac said at 5:30 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Smallwood has more carries than Sproles right now

  251. 251 Checkdown Charlie said at 5:30 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    He got a few

  252. 252 Insomniac said at 5:30 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    like 3

  253. 253 John Galt said at 5:30 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Ertz back to his usual 0 yac

  254. 254 SteveH said at 5:30 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Don’t run backwards mathews thanks.

  255. 255 wallacemnw said at 5:31 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    THEY CALLED THAT?!

  264. 264 scratcherk said at 5:32 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    thats the worst fucking shit.

  265. 265 Insomniac said at 5:32 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    It was too good to be true

  266. 266 John Galt said at 5:32 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Bad call

  267. 267 SteveH said at 5:32 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  269. 269 Corry said at 5:32 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    He’s like an inch too far back

  270. 270 anon said at 5:33 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    the one time ertz has any YAC -called back

  271. 271 scratcherk said at 5:33 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    an inch cost us 7 pts.

  272. 272 Sb2bowl said at 5:33 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    How was that a penalty

  273. 273 Corry said at 5:34 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Matthews needed to be up on the line of scrimmage. He lined up about half a yard too deep.

  274. 274 Sb2bowl said at 5:34 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    He was the lead receiver, right? From the angle I had, he was on the line.

  275. 275 SteveH said at 5:35 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    He wasn’t on the line, he was even with Peters.

  276. 276 Insomniac said at 5:34 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    the refs giveth and the refs taketh.

  277. 277 SteveH said at 5:33 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Jordan Mathews was the one who lined up wrong.

  278. 278 scratcherk said at 5:34 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    thats an infuriating penalty, how do you not line up right….

  279. 279 Ark87 said at 5:34 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That was the most yac you will ever see from Ertz, that was it, back to self-tacklin

  280. 280 John Galt said at 5:35 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    In fairness it was still 0 yards after contact

  281. 281 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:34 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Really need the defense to step up here. Can’t go into halftime down 2 scores.

  282. 282 SteveH said at 5:34 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Awesome, 2 huge plays where we fucked up. Mills costs us 6 on the Procise run, Mathews costs us 7 because he doesn’t line up properly.

  283. 283 ACViking said at 5:35 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    WRs on the open side routinely look to the official before the snap to ask if they’re OK.

    No excuse. None at all.

  284. 284 kajomo said at 5:35 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    God a hate Jordan Matthews. He’s like a Casey Matthews with some talent

  285. 285 John Galt said at 5:36 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    This game is getting away

  289. 289 Insomniac said at 5:36 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    wtf omg

  290. 290 ACViking said at 5:37 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Eagles on the road.

    Eagles play like they’ve never practiced

  291. 291 Insomniac said at 5:37 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Mills on coverage. What do we truly expect?

  292. 292 ACViking said at 5:37 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Matthews’ mistake too

  293. 293 scratcherk said at 5:37 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    if only he wasnt out.. woulda been a touchabck

  297. 297 Ark87 said at 5:38 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Welp we were totally competitive for a quarter and a half

  298. 298 Insomniac said at 5:38 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Jalen Mills people.

  299. 299 ACViking said at 5:38 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Didn’t see him finger wag on that play.

  300. 300 Insomniac said at 5:39 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Do they serve humble pie in Seattle?

  301. 301 John Galt said at 5:39 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    He is just too slow

  302. 302 kajomo said at 5:40 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    That was clearly jenkins fault.

  303. 303 scratcherk said at 5:39 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    well thats a win

    That FG was actually a mini win for us, all things considered.

  305. 305 John Galt said at 5:40 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Mini wins tend to add up to losses

  306. 306 scratcherk said at 5:40 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    take em when u can get them

  307. 307 Insomniac said at 5:40 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    it’s only 9 points and we’re a second half team. so it’s not all that bad right?

  308. 308 John Galt said at 5:40 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    If we can kill the clock and get some points here we have a shot.

  309. 309 scratcherk said at 5:40 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    and we’re going to score here to make it a 2 pt lead

  310. 310 truehaynes said at 5:41 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I still can’t believe that penalty

  311. 311 truehaynes said at 5:41 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Buggest play of the game so far

  312. 312 John Galt said at 5:41 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    They usually check with ref and get a nod that they are okay. No idea why he wouldn’t there

  313. 313 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:41 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Time to unleash Agholor. Been holding him back all season for this special moment.

  314. 314 Crus57 said at 5:42 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    if by unleash you mean “tell him to run and keep running until he gets to the arctic circle” then yes

  315. 315 Crus57 said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    and running and running..

  316. 316 scratcherk said at 5:42 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    to squirt gatorade in the players mouths?

  317. 317 Corry said at 5:42 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    So we’re sending Agholor over to knee cap Wilson?

  318. 318 ACViking said at 5:42 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Look at the Eagles’ costly penalties today . . .

    Graham offsides.
    Matthews’ formation.

    Mistakes of *omission* — not commission.

    No excuse.

  319. 319 Dave said at 5:42 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I just rewatched the TD by Ertz called back. Nelson was 2 1/2 yards off the line if scrimmage. How do you spell liability…A-G-H-O-L-O-R

  320. 320 Corry said at 5:42 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    It was Matthews.

  321. 321 Dave said at 5:44 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Nope, it was Ags

  322. 322 kajomo said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    It was Matthews, not agholor

  323. 323 Dave said at 5:45 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I just rewatched it again, it was ags

  324. 324 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:42 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Called it!

  325. 325 Ark87 said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Into the sun…

  326. 326 Corry said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Agholor wide open. Ball in the right spot. Dropped.

  327. 327 scratcherk said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Ag you fuckign worthless piece of shit.

  328. 328 Insomniac said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Greg Lewis sighting

  329. 329 shah8 said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    The funniest fucking drop!

    leave the fucker behind after the game.

  330. 330 anon said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    he needs to get benched

  331. 331 SteveH said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    AGHOLORRRRRRRRRRR

  332. 332 meteorologist said at 5:43 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I have never thrown something in response to a game in my life but I wanted to after agholars drop

  333. 333 SteveH said at 5:44 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Unreal. How is Agholor so bad?

  334. 334 Insomniac said at 5:44 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    We can let Agholor back on the way home..but we’re dropping him off to the nearest AFL team for a stick of juicy fruit.

  335. 335 scratcherk said at 5:45 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    only if prechewed.

  336. 336 Bert's Bells said at 5:45 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Anybody else beginning to find Agholor becoming so bad it’s funny?

  337. 337 Insomniac said at 5:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I didn’t think we would find someone worse than Huff and Cooper combined. Chip Kelly truly is a genius.

  338. 338 Crus57 said at 5:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Huff and Cooper combined aren’t worth Agholor’s draft points cost either

  339. 339 Iskar36 said at 5:49 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Remember when he was supposed to come in and fill Maclin’s shoes without a problem…. ugh… this is why the cost of Maclin would have been justified… lost a 1st round pick over $1 mil/yr.

  340. 340 anon said at 5:53 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    look at maclin’s stats this year – wasted $11m

  341. 341 Iskar36 said at 5:59 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Maclin is still better than Agholor any day, but that’s besides the point. We had to use a 1st to pick up a replacement for Maclin.

  342. 342 anon said at 5:45 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    halftime can’t come fast enough

  343. 343 truehaynes said at 5:45 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Jesus fucking christ

  344. 344 wallacemnw said at 5:45 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Bad punt. They have plenty of time to score again.

  345. 345 truehaynes said at 5:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    There not even that fucking good

  346. 346 Nick C said at 5:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Neither are we, apparently

  347. 347 scratcherk said at 5:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    So Ags cost us 7 pts, then probably at least another three with that drop. Get him on the fucking bench.

  348. 348 Insomniac said at 5:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Give Treggs and Burton those snaps.

  349. 349 scratcherk said at 5:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    anyone, hes costing us points.

  350. 350 Insomniac said at 5:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    well that’s everyone else. god it’s depressing

  351. 351 kajomo said at 5:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    What is so hard to understand. Ags is hot garbage, but the penalty was on Matthews

  352. 352 scratcherk said at 5:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    nah it was ags.

  353. 353 Corry said at 5:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    NO it was Matthews.

  354. 354 Dave said at 5:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    It was ags, why does everyone think it was JMatt?

  355. 355 Corry said at 5:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Because it was Matthews Pederson was talking to after that play about lining up wrong. Why do you tihnk it’s Agholor?

  356. 356 scratcherk said at 5:49 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    it was ags, i rewatched it

  357. 357 Corry said at 5:51 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    IN that case, strap his ass to a rocket and fire it into the sun because I”m sick of his bullshit.

  358. 358 daveH said at 5:55 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    They show G Lew screaming at him .. they hsve to cancel his pkane ticket hom

  359. 359 Dave said at 5:49 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I have a DVR and rewatched it in slow motion, it was ags, unless JMatt changed his number to 17

  360. 360 Patrick said at 5:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    No, the penalty was on Agholor

  361. 361 kajomo said at 5:49 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I am not going to rewind, but it was the guy closest to the LOS. I was almost certain it was Matthews

  362. 362 scratcherk said at 5:50 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    was def #17

  363. 363 scratcherk said at 5:50 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    they showed pederson talking to matthews after the play but it was #17 lined up in front.

  364. 364 daveH said at 6:01 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  365. 365 Patrick said at 5:50 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Then Greg Lewis was chewing the wrong guy out. Pretty sure he knows who lined up wrong.
    Also, it was 17.

  366. 366 kajomo said at 5:51 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Whatever they all suck. We need multiple WRs next year

  367. 367 Patrick said at 5:53 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Basically yes. One big ass motherfucker that can play those jumpballs and one fast ass motherfucker that can stretch the field.

    Pretty much Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson.

  368. 368 Dave said at 5:50 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Nope, #17

  369. 369 xeynon said at 5:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I’m ready to give up on Nelson Agholor. If that guy is on the team next year I will be very disappointed.

  370. 370 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:49 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    You may be the last on that bandwagon. Anyone else still not on board?

  371. 371 truehaynes said at 5:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    At this point I want Seattle to destroy us. I want them to show our guys that they can’t play like this. I don’t want us to lose by one posses n so we can say we were close. We suck right now

  372. 372 scratcherk said at 5:46 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    this is how they set us up for that TD last time.

  373. 373 Ark87 said at 5:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yeah do we really want to force Wilson to throw deep? No thanks

  374. 374 HawaiianEagle said at 5:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    U wanna protest something? Protest our WRs

  375. 375 Patrick said at 5:47 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Not my wide out?

  376. 376 HawaiianEagle said at 5:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Discriminatory to catches

  377. 377 Patrick said at 5:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Offensive to viewers.

  378. 378 Checkdown Charlie said at 5:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Deplorables

  379. 379 ACViking said at 5:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    2 plays worth 82 yards lost because of lapses in concentration by WRs

  380. 380 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:48 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    On the silver lining side, I am pleasantly surprised that Dougie did not graduate from the Andy Reid school of timeouts, cheeseburgers, and clock management. He usually makes the right call.

  381. 381 Dave said at 5:49 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I think having Ags active, let alone playing is the wrong call

  382. 382 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:51 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Clearly, but let me grasp those straws.

  383. 383 ACViking said at 5:49 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Question . . .

    Pederson saw the problem with the WR not at the LOS.

    Worth a T.O.?

  384. 384 Checkdown Charlie said at 5:51 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Now it would be

  385. 385 meteorologist said at 5:50 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Shouldn’t Pederson have called timeout on the illegal formation?

  386. 386 Ark87 said at 5:52 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Doesn’t mean Ertz runs for a TD the next play

  387. 387 meteorologist said at 5:53 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Still saves the penalty yardage and haven’t wasted one of your best plays against this great d

  388. 388 Checkdown Charlie said at 5:51 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Need a return now

  389. 389 A Roy said at 5:52 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    So, let’s see. TD called back for stoopidity and a drop of a 25+ yd pass. Can we deactivate him at halftime and get someone that wants to play?

  390. 390 Dave said at 5:52 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Paul Turner

  391. 391 Corry said at 5:52 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Sproles is hurt.

  392. 392 Checkdown Charlie said at 5:53 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Ribs/

  393. 393 scratcherk said at 5:53 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    the only thing that gives me hope about ags is that he showed flashes last year, then had a lot of distractions in the offseason this year, and Brandon Graham

  394. 394 Ark87 said at 5:54 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Ok why shallow middle?

  395. 395 Kohlhaas said at 5:54 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    yeah, we’ll get it. 3 yards at a fucking time!!!

  396. 396 Corry said at 5:54 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Our Running back committee is getting a bit thin.

  397. 397 DarthBanner said at 5:54 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    If aids and ebola had a baby, its name would be Agholor.

  398. 398 Insomniac said at 5:54 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    It’s absolutely mind blowing how Ertz just slipped after he caught the ball.

  399. 399 shah8 said at 5:54 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yeah, one thing that’s apparent is that Wentz is not comfortable reading deeper zones and hitting the soft spots.

  400. 400 anon said at 5:54 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    well good -halftime.

  401. 401 scratcherk said at 5:55 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    and thats what happens when you throw to ags.

  402. 402 Corry said at 5:56 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    …Rewind it and look. This time I thought it was DGB.

  403. 403 scratcherk said at 5:57 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    you’re right… i just prefer to blame ags.

  404. 404 Corry said at 5:57 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    AS do we all.

  406. 406 Dragon_Eagle said at 5:55 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Wentz never saw him.

  407. 407 Ark87 said at 5:56 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Don’t know why, he got a real long and detailed look at it

  408. 408 Insomniac said at 5:56 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Staring down his WR. Tunnel vision.

  409. 409 Patrick said at 5:57 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    So a rookie QB?

  410. 410 Insomniac said at 5:57 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Pretty much. Bad habits.

  411. 411 Crus57 said at 5:56 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Ironic that Chancellor hit the deck to avoid being tackled by Ertz

  412. 412 BobSmith77 said at 5:57 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    This has just been a really frustrating 1st half to watch on several levels including that horrendous illegal formation call on the Ertz TD.

  413. 413 A Roy said at 5:58 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Game changer

  414. 414 Ark87 said at 5:59 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yeah, barring a TD drive and the defense putting some pressure on Wilson, this one got a little too far away from us

  415. 415 Sb2bowl said at 5:58 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    We are leaving plays on the field. Can’t win like that

  416. 416 Patrick said at 5:58 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Cant seem to win away.

  417. 417 HawaiianEagle said at 5:58 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    We get ball 3rd

  418. 418 Insomniac said at 5:59 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    The good news is that it’s still only a 9 point lead. The bad news is we’re fucking throwing to Agholor down the field instead of Treggs. Sproles and Mathews are banged up. None of our WRs have catches.

  419. 419 BobSmith77 said at 6:00 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Free Turner!

  420. 420 unhinged said at 6:00 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    DGB has 1. Matthews has 1 too.

  421. 421 BobSmith77 said at 5:59 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Amazing how this team comes out almost every week and is unprepared mentally on both sides of the ball.

    Last game that wasn’t the case was the Steelers’ game.

  422. 422 truehaynes said at 5:59 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    How can Peterson defend playing agholar

  423. 423 daveH said at 6:18 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    He needs to be asked .. we need to know.. he has to have been asked a buch already

  424. 424 HawaiianEagle said at 5:59 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Im tired of Cheat Carroll

  425. 425 daveH said at 6:16 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Hate him…. they tried to laugh off his goal line td vx Pats last week as redemption for Super Bowl but its not even close .. love that the biggest choke in Super Bowl history is Pete Carroll by himself

  426. 426 DarthBanner said at 5:59 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Is it bad that I’m most excited for the offseason so Agholor can be cut?

  427. 427 Ark87 said at 6:01 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    He will be on the roster most likely unfortunately. Costs twice as much to cut him than keep him

  428. 428 DarthBanner said at 6:02 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I suppose they could use another towel boy.

  429. 429 Ark87 said at 6:02 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yeah as long as they don’t play him unless he has an incredible off season performance

  430. 430 kid said at 6:02 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    hopefully he will be a backup next year

  431. 431 daveH said at 6:13 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    How about Agholar Jersey night…

  432. 432 HawaiianEagle said at 6:00 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Trade Ags to SF

  433. 433 Dragon_Eagle said at 6:00 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Just wondering, as this question probably got buried down below, but…

    Is there anyone out there who is not on the cut Agholor now bus? Besides Doug and Howie, of course.

  434. 434 A_T_G said at 6:01 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Me.

  435. 435 Dragon_Eagle said at 6:06 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Why?

  436. 436 Corry said at 6:02 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    I am not due to the cap penalty. I am however on the place Agholor on IR with a fake injury to get his ass off the roster and team until such time we can cut him.

  437. 437 Will Ft. Daft Punk said at 6:03 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Just bench him

  438. 438 BobSmith77 said at 6:04 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yes.

  439. 439 daveH said at 6:12 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Make him return kicks

  440. 440 BobSmith77 said at 6:01 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    What does cutting Agholor do though? I would just rather see Turner got activated though and get a chance.

    They need somebody, anybody, who can run a route crisply, catch a ball, and help them convert on 3rd down.

  441. 441 daveH said at 6:04 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Just costs us money , cap space stuff

  442. 442 A Roy said at 6:05 PM on November 20th, 2016:

  443. 443 wallacemnw said at 6:02 PM on November 20th, 2016:

    Yes.

    They are the better team, but we are not that far off.

    Yeah just a few bad breaks that half although both 1st drives performances were pretty poor.

    Pederson comes out throwing, throwing, throwing and the defense got caught absolutely flat-footed vs run.

    We aren’t, but we fall much further off because of the stupid mistakes.

    I love what Doug said to the reporter coming off the field. He sees what Wentz is doing, and he needs to calm him. I think DP’s demeanor is great for a smart, overwhelmed rookie QB. CW telegraphed that pass that was picked off…excitable boy. On the other side, I can appreciate why Jim Schwartz signed Bradham. He likes to bring the wood, especially to fast RB’s. OL is playing better than I expected after JP left. This game isn’t over yet.
