Thursday Night games are the worst, but all teams have to play them so you just deal with it as best you can. The Eagles do have some good news.

You need all hands on deck when going against Cam Newton so it is great to see Fletcher Cox back in the lineup. He can push the pocket up the middle and help the DEs to collapse things from the outside.
Wendell Smallwood is out again. I hate that, but the Eagles managed without him last week.
It is interesting to see Justin Hamilton playing and Elijah Qualls inactive. Not a big deal, obviously.
*****
The key to the game on defense will be discipline. Carolina does a lot of creative things on offense. They have a brilliant dual-threat QB in Newton and all kinds of interesting weapons. Rookie Christian McCaffrey does just about everything. He is both a playmaker and a decoy. The Eagles can’t get caught up in motions and fakes. They have to be assignment-sound.
Playing the Chiefs in Week 2 was good practice for this game. They don’t do the same things exactly, but they are similar in how they like to confuse you. The Eagles played great defense in Kansas City for almost 3 full quarters before falling apart late.
The Panthers have some huge WRs so this is an ideal game for Rasul Douglas. Wouldn’t shock me to see him make a big play.
Carolina has an outstanding defense, led by MLB Luke Kuechly. They can rush with the front four and make plays with the back seven. It will be interesting to see how the Eagles play against such a stout D.
RT Lane Johnson is out and Big V is in at that spot. There is a drop-off with that, but it sounds like Stefen Wisniewski will be the LG for almost the entire game so the that helps the offense. Wiz has been clearly better than Chance Warmack this year.
The Panthers don’t have a stud CB and that could mean more throws for Alshon Jeffery. Remember that he’s faced some really tough CBs (Peterson, Hayward, Jenkins, Peters, Norman). Carson Wentz has done a good job of distributing the ball rather than forcing it so we’ll see if this makes any difference.
I think the Panthers have an advantage in playing on the short week because they’re at home and they do so much creative stuff on offense that you really need a full week to be ready for that. At the same time, I think the Eagles are the better team. They’ve been more consistent this year.
One thing to watch in this game is how it starts off. The Eagles have played with a lead for most of the past 3 games. The last game that they were even or behind was the loss to the Chiefs. Can the Eagles get off to another hot start and put the pressure on the Panthers?
I don’t have a good feel for this game because it just has an odd vibe to it. I am excited to see how the Eagles stack up against an NFC team with a 4-1 record. Plus, it’s a road game. Lots of little tests there.
Let’s see what the fellas can do…
_
Nice! He didn’t carry you off to a creepy van after the picture, did he?
Lol you have to be a hot college female to earn that trip. I feel as though if that were to happen nowadays he would have been suspended for half the season.
Let us all take a moment. Please remember, in our hearts, the sad, suffering of others.
“The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ 2-1 decision to vacate the preliminary injunction on Elliott’s suspension ends a bad week for the Cowboys, who have a bye. To review, they lost a heart-breaker to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers on Sunday; Jerry Jones publicly ordered his players to stand for the national anthem, prompting team meetings; defensive lineman Stephen Paea retired; the Cowboys cut Nolan Carroll; and the appeals court has now ruled against their star running.”
And pray for more.
In a weird way this might help Zeke play out the year. He will appeal again, get a TRO on his suspension, and by the time a circuit court hears the case it will be pretty much the end of the season.
They kicked out his case on a technicality – the fact he appealed before the arbitration had completed. in fact it wouldn’t shock me if this is what his legal team was looking for in the first place, since he has no realistic chance of winning the actual court case all he can achieve is delay delay delay.
These are two very similar teams. Every time they talk about the Panthers strengths a weaknesses, they could be talking about us.
I dig the white on White. I wouldn’t mid that as our permanent away uni
All blacks are the best.
I like both but I’m ok with Black being a twice a year thing.
Good to have all the pregame show guys pick Panthers. Little irrational nuggets like that give me comfort.
“…it sounds like Stefen Wisniewski will be the LG for almost the entire game so the that helps the offense.”
Did Doug say something? I hope so, especially with Lane out, the Oline needs to be at the top of its game.
guys I have a bold prediction.
one team will lose tonight.
You could be wrong.
Yeah with new 10 minute OT i think we have to call the draw
Tie myself up in a straight jacket if I am.
Let it be known that I passed up going to the game to be here with you guys…
or my wife said no…
Let her think it was this one.
We all know the truth.
buddy had an extra ticket. but the home viewing experience is so great… and I have to work tomorrow. great stadium tho.
Very cool.
We get tony romo. What a treat!
actually i really enjoy him
Good to have new voices in broadcasting imo
way better than chris berman
Yeah I was serious lol. Hard to convey
This will be his first Eagles game. I wonder if there’s any hurt feelings?
Jordan Hicks ptsd.
Exactly!
Especially at Jordan Hicks lol
Lets gooooo!!!!
AGS
Ags
Wentz is so frickin good. Can’t believe he’s on our team.
big boy throw
BLUNT OBJECT
Why was blount just barking orders to the line on that Ags catch?
ugh.
big v.
oh no
Cmon Big V
wentz held it a while tho.
He got used to having Lane on his right side.
Won’t be that trusting twice
Oh craaaaaaaap
Contain and spy!
God, so I guess Lane Johnson is our MVP
He is.
nice D
TWSS
Good stand by the defense.
unclinch those buttholes, boys. we doing this.
Can’t unclnch quite yet.. .
Nice play, Bradham.
Two of em
lets go booooyyys
One of the few times I watch the game away from home where only my dog and wife have to tolerate my outbursts. Tonight, I’m at a bar by work. Game is on nearly all the TVs but few appear to be watching. Hope they’re the understanding type. I’m getting more beer.
ags gonna ags.
And his hands are back.,
Throw was off. That one was on Carson.
Should catch that, but the throw left a little to be desired.
lol at donnie jones pacing the sideline
Please don’t abandon the run.
I think Doug and Reich are seeing match ups that they like
carson learning
fuck
lol. wheels.
I have never understood the love for Vaitai. The dude has nothing but a big body.
Crappy call.
ARE U FUCKING KIDDING ME
That was terrible.
Johnson: two catches, two first downs. Throw more to him.
blooouunt
Please get the run game going, please Doug. with sugar on top.
Thank you. (was typing that just before that last Blount run)
Is one good enough for you?
No
You’re asking for too much
Always
blount making career decisions
That was a bit strange for Blount. I wonder if it had anything to do with havimg the ball in the wrong hand.
Eh, he wasn’t getting a touchdown. Just get out. That was the right move.
He wasn’t running over 3 guys without higher momentum.
Agreed it wasn’t a big deal. Just not the way I usually anticipate Blount ending that play. I have nothing against the decision though.
Franco Harris made a career doing that.
Blount…steps out of bounds?
That is not what he gets paid for.
Good balance by Barner there. Eagles looking fantastic except Vaitai
yet they keep putting him on an island.
Setting up the draw plays for later..
Jake!!!!
The dude is a machine.
Greatest kicker ever.
Jakester
Jake the Make
Donnie J’owns
You think Marvin Lewis is watching?
i dont think Lewis watches much football.
Oh yea? He’s like 11/13 or some shit, just above-average – Marvin Lewis
Make Elliot
Well played.
Nice job Donnie Jones!!!
I bet we have the Elliot with the most points in the NFCE.
Didnt even realize we were in FG range
Are we on the field? Then we’re in Elliot’s range.
Lets destroy this backup C
Doug may have been given an HC job before he earned it, but he’s grown into it nicely. He does very well with these early game scripts. Been impressed so far tonight
Do like the call to go uptempo to start even if it didn’t end well.
Lol @ them saying Jordan Hicks is underrated to Romo.
He might have heard of him.
pretty sure his shoulderblade is imprinted in his collarbone
Jernigans grill always makes me smile for some reason.
fuck off refs
BS
Who paid the zebras? C’mon!!!!
played the ball
Homer view but hell yeah
whats that?
I see we need to increase the amount we pay the refs this year
Huh I almost forgot the Panthers drafted Curtis Samuel. I guess that’s just how impactful McCaffery and Samuel have been.
Refs 2 Eagles 0
The defense has an edge to it tonight. Lots of big hits and telling them about it.
Liking it
Love it!
Hope they can sustain 4 qtrs.
Careful with the refs this year or they will start getting us with taunting everytime we get an edge
bradizzle
Bradham collecting highlights !!
and umbrellas.
I bet he reads Igglesblitz.
Great tackling as usual. Love that about this defense
great run d
LOVE THAT STOP
Fipp magic.
if they declined that penalty against me, I’d go for it on 4th right here.
Thought they might.
ok calm down dougie jr
if they accepted that penalty, we would hear about it all week on sports radio
I wonder if they’ve done the math on accepting and declining
penalties.
I’d be absolutely stunned if it hasn’t been done. Seems obvious.
Tres all
those three points are on the refs for that BS PI call
BONGGG
Laremy Tunsil just woke up
Jeffrey getting involved
Run the damn ball, Andy.
I don’t think they trust the run with Vaitai in
I don’t trust the protection.
Right side issues
Blount.
Ertz didnt look. Blount got there too late.
It was Celek, and it looked like he passed it off
U R A HOMO FAGGOT
come on.
Refs 3 Eagles 0
Another weak one.
another BS call
if this one is on the eagles….
it was on the eagles.
fucking wow… swarmed him.
home cooking is strong.
Blount penalized for finishing off the block eh
yea, that was weak as hell.
hope they muff this one.
welll….
Next time, use the phrase “fumble away”
Next time hope for a TO.
Muff in but a G thang.
the PI on Mills was the right call but what was wrong with Blount’s block? He finished a block the way you’re supposed to!
15 yard penalty for that is absurd
Like Jeffreys block in the back
I think mills was going for it all along says a Homer
The fuck?
Karma almost got us that one.
This defense is swarming. My gosh
i thought chirs long was out this game
Again, wow. did anyone block?
Blocker basically got out of the way for Jenkins to come in and slow down the RB. Hope we see more of that!
Yes, their own RB.
Schwartz just called for the shocker.
Don’t recall who said it below, but I agree – I love that this defense tackles well.
I recall 2 years ago, running the missed tackle counter on this blog. Those were dark days. FU Billy Davis.
Billy Avis would just blame it on the players like he did with Kendricks.
It’s all about execution, as Chip always said. Because apparently getting an orchestra to play twinkle twinkle little star is all on the orchestra
Wait til we get jones and darby…
Yeah Mills.
Timmy almost got home
My Goodness…
It was fucking laying there.
Yep. its a thursday night game.
Thank you Robinson.
Thank you Mr. Robinson.
Patrick Robinson MVP
Whew…
Who is 73 rocking that fro ! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/00ccd1ff225d4b1760fcca78d95c47cb43dd3f3a19ccd7da9c19af16f55b85f9.jpg
Seumalo
Carson Wentz.
Jeez! Wow! Barner can’t muff that, but that’s not all on him. McDougle needs to get out of the way.
Good insight by Mr Romo on that
The left footed punter makes it slightly harder, I agree, but the bigger issue on that was McDougle pushing Barner away from the proper position under the ball. Barner needs to catch it either way though.
Donnie Jones is lefty. It doesn’t make sense.
Love how the ref gets up and signals Carolina ball
Anything onthat Mr Media ??
Wentz sailing again
From pressure?
Don’t think so
I was wondering if he was rushing.
I keep thinking he just needs to settle down but he had that 3rd down converted before the Timeout
Bootleg.
are u fucking kidding
FUUUUUUCK
good job, dug. iceing your own fucking team.
Dammit Doug! Now is not the time to go all AR on us.
I think the clock had run down.
It did
it was 00’s for like 2 seconds… no one threw a flag tho
i thought it barely turned zero and would have been pissed if the refs threw a flag.
Was that the job of the guy trying to stop the action?
most QBs get til the clock should be at about -1.5 before they throw a flag.. but given these refs seem to be deep in the carolina bag probably wise to call time.
TO was the right call, just sucks.
Hope we can make it up on the Mulligan
These refs are in mid-week form.
sucks.
Right-side again
overload. Peters can block two. Can’t expect anyone else to do it.
Enable max protect mode.
They brought the house and didn’t disguise it one bit. Sucks.
Hope Wentz is ok… he’ll never show if something is wrong
Where’s the block in the back call?
Refs 4 – Eagles 0
uh hold????
VAITAI SUCKS and should be BENCHED
Only the pliability of youth kept Wentz from losing his arm forever on that twist
Holding the Panthers to 3 here is a win.
Fuck the refs
Late but RG Trai Turner vs Cox is gonna be interesting
Their middle school alow dance holding graham and no fuckin calls!!!
Nice solo tackle VC
pressure tantalizingly close.
the ultimate tease
Strong holding going on. But so far the flags are staying in the refs pockets…. for Carolina
did he just audible by yelling “I changed it”?
yea
pathetic.
Why is Robinson covering a 6’5 WR.
Because we don’t have a 6’5 CB , much less 2 of them
Nobody does.
Exactly why he is a Dick
Alright Carson, here’s another test. Reply to that shit.
Love the “stay away from me so i can do my ridiculous superman shit” celebration
Nantz nailed him on it also
We need to correct this Vaitai nonsense on the right side, we are not handling pressure frim the right side at all, difference in the game right now
So we have Seumalo who also got beat like a drum a few weeks ago with some experience at RT. Can’t be worse right?
Scandal is on one of the other TVs here at work. I’m still mad about Asomugha marrying Kerry Washington.
The smart dude brings Yagermeister and the royal dooshbags dont dilly dilly it.. stupid as it gets
Actually, find that commercial somewhat entertaining. Shame the product is goat piss.
Concur on both counts.
I don’t get the dilly dilly .. is it something Game of Thrones that i don’t watch ?
Jager, for when you dont want to enjoy the drink but still want an awful hangover.
well looks like barner doesnt want to hit the hole…
stretch play not working
Vaitai.
Gap discipline. Our DE’s are over pursuing and losing containment.
I like the calls, going back to our so-far dominant run game. The results however…
Not only is V not a future tackle. He isnt a current back up
I’ve always wanted an eagles qb to do that.
Agreed
come on barner.
Shovel pass. so hot right now.
Where is mike??
Had to run out to buy a new tv
He’s probably on his way to the Linc right now
That was an outstanding read by Wentz. Bad drop though.
Mike was right.
Barner is not up to this game
Haven’t gone deep at all
We don’t have the time to
no time
Barner is weak today damn
cant contain the blitz.
Yo, somebody gonna block tonight? Get Barner the fuck out of there until we’ve got the lead.
They are shutting Ertz down, much to the chagrin of my fantasy teams . Alshon needs to step up
They need to throw him slants.
He needs to be able to do more than slants
Yeah, get Barner the heck outta there. Tough matchup, but c’mon.
lets go 3 TE
Yes. .quick passes
Is it bad that I wouldn’t mind seeing one of those quick WR screens against this blitz?
Hit one to Agh, could work
No. Support that call. After we starting running the ball with commitment.
That is how you beat it. Cant go rb screen though…dont have a guy who can play rb foe it.
Missing Sproles today for the blitz pick-ups
Barner, Clement and Blount are all poor pass protectors as RB’s. Its really hurting not having Sproles or Smallwood today.
Yes, Smallwood was starting to get good at it.
Guys I know this might sound awful but..
how about we punish the blitz with..screens.
Screens have been great last 3 weeks
We need something to counter this outrageous aggression
The pass would need to be under 20ft high, and someone would need to catch it.
the truth really hurts 🙁
Yeah wr screen weould be the time duggy
He tried to get clement in thetree .. his nasty running
You’re right.
It does sound awful.
Jernigan! Beast
They got to get some hits on Newton.
That’s how you break him. Cam is weak mentally and will check out if things don’t go his way.
Shut up with the Romo reminiscence.
He isnt an Eagle hater like troy. I like em
That the first Dime set of the night?
There we go rook
That’s what I’m talking about!
HA YES YES .. i was on 2 min delay and didn’t even know. ..
I hate when that happens.
FUCK YA
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Fuck Yeah
Wow Cox vs Turner! Massive play
Rasul!
rasuuuuuuuuul
First career pick for Douglas.
EDIT: Im wrong.
2nd actually
all about cox
Anyone else notice every stop they have gotten on 3rd a coach starts eagle flapping and a player or 2 follows suit?
Yep. How is that not taunting?
Yup. .whats up with the travis kelce wings flapping she yat
You owe us LeGarrette. Earn it!!
cram it down their fucking throats
Refs 5 Eagles 0
Wow
Flag?
wheres the the fucking flag
oh fuck you
Brooks just ended Keuchlys life
kuechly out
And Blount got called for unnecessary roughness?
I like the way Blount runs. Something about it.. him and (random) Tyreek Hill just strike me as extremely field smart in their running
They way he protects his body sometimes and shows physical dominance sometimes
Hello unnecessary roughness call?
You go for that.
go for it
sneak that shit
QB sneak
does CBS not show replays?
a QB that fucking sneaks and rushes up to the line. I’m in ecstasy
I love how excited Romo is. Just living the dream out there.
if only he kept that
Bang it in guys.
dont get hurt buddy
Dont fucking do that Wentz… lol. But i love it.
Credit that defender.
Yeah. I thought Wentz was gonna go right through him or push him into the end zone
Dangerous decision, but love the aggressiveness
BLUNT IT IN
hard call right now.
Wish we had lane
W E N T Z. AHHHHHH LOVE IT but save that one for a super bowl
Shuffle pass time
YEA BABY
Double fantasy points.
DISCOUNT DOUBLE CHECK
If he doesn’t make the fucking Pro Bowl this year…
Eerily similar play calls from last week. But what works, works!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3f802cec0ca5552fb35f59d4332fa0a467569c675c0b96082c05262aa8b1276d.png
daps.
Fist it!
That time Wentz could have run it in, but great throw to Ertz.
7 plays for 12 yards lol. This is how we lead the league in time of possession
Great minds…
Where? 🙂
Kill Cam now
Ertz!!!
7 plays, 12 yards. That is how you win time of possession.
It matters.
Great doing all those runs for the clock, even got ate a timeout
how many penalties on the eagles, fucking refs
how you beat pressure…
If only we had a 3rd down RB..preferably one of the best ever at that role.
Lord Jesus just get Wentz out of this game healthy, even more important than the W
…not that both wouldn’t be greatly appreciated, just sayin.
Anything but neither
Calling pass rush. Need you again. One pressure all game.and it caused int.
Yep
Im fine with it. they’re keeping all the plays in front of them.
[Oooooooooo almost
so close…
Swat that arm, Chris.
TWSS?
damn
Credit to Cam.
Bradham made a good play and Cam still got the ball over the line
very few QBs, even RBs, that would have made that.
Like how McLoed went for it
Bradham
Think it was going for a tackle against Cam. . Maybe it was Bradham. .he was great today
I was talking about the play where mcsffety caught it, brandham knee he had help with the tackle and dove at the ball.
Bradham dives for ball there. Kniws he has help and can risk it. He is playing a game today, boy
I wouldn’t have mind seeing McLeod laying Cam out.
He tried. .like him for the gamely effort
Douglas with a Mills style finger wag!
Finger wag
Romo… lol
Cmon
attaboys
All about cox
TWSS
TWNantzS
amazing he held on
TWSS.
Beautiful TV viewing watching that timely gang sack
TWSS…
Did they use their final TO after the sack?
yes
Another one!! Go!!
It was too long we had to go without Cox. I hope I never have two weeks without Cox again.
Hamilton did work on the LG on that play.
Lol @ Doug windmilling his arm trying to help the refs
bradham playing a game boy.
53 for probowl
Are they keeping Jernigan out to be safe or am I not noticing him?
he’s had a TFL
Apparently he got hurt and returned to the field but he hasn’t been in since then
It was on a TFL, he landed on his back and then sat up and signalled to the sideline, not sure if he’s been in since
Watch the fake!!!! Oh, never mind.
lol. this is stupid
good stand
Wow. I’m glad we escaped without giving up points.
Huge
No Balls
well they got no Jake the Make
Awesome hold into the half ..that’s huge
Riverboat Ron was fucking stupid right there.
I am impressed with how we’ve played so far. 2nd half on the road in a dogfight is a big, big test
Tremendous. If we keep this up I think it’s time to think of us as contenders. We have played consistently well this year
Plus, the obligatory #DarbyJones
#LocksDown
We’d probably be up by a TD if we had Sproles. We miss having a 3 down RB like him.
We’d be up by a TD if Lane Johnson was healthy.
Yea that too.
Very even, this one is is beating the hell out of stars like Wentz, Cam, and Kuechly
What a weird end sequence for Carolina
Well, we know we can play with a good team on the road with a short week and some guys banged up.
I have to pay the refs some more at half time – Rivera
No matter how the game ends, this was a test if we are good enough to play with the big boys: we are.
At least they stopped throwing flags for a couple minutes.
Can they still flag both teams or only on the away teams for Thursdays…
didn’t know they lockout refs were still working NFL games
So, T. Kielce mocked the Eagles with the flapping arms and now a Panthers coach is doing it.
When is the last time you remember an Eagles player actually doing that?
Terrell Owens in 2004?
Right before he started throwing batteries at Santa, right?
lol. But after he cheered for Michael Irvin getting injured.
So funny!
After further review, Refs 5 Eagles 1.
Refs could’ve given the Cam an OOB call (would’ve been wrong, but we’ll take the crumbs they hand us.)
I hope arm flapping Kueckley is out for good
If you mean the game, I agree. If you mean for life…
The game………..
Agreed. Kueckley is a great player. Good for the game. Like Cox, Like J. Peppers in his prime or Aaron Rodgers. Worth watching no matter the team.
nah he’s a good guy
Thomas Davis can get ktfo too for twisting Wentz’s arm like that.
Yeah that’s some dirty shit. But the NFL is all about protecting the QB.
carolina gets the ball to start
This team is so good and credit goes to the OLine. Peters especially. And actual receivers. And the Dline playing to expectations. And on and on
If they can figure out the blitz packages Wentz will play next week.
With Lane Johnson, there’s no problem
I think the big thing is that everyone seems to be either improved from last year or at least as good, very little regression and some big improvers with hopefully more to come.
It’s weird seeing Deion Sanders having hair after seeing him bald for years.
i knew something was offf….
Or on.
TWSS
Random comment, but I feel obligated.
Jason Fucking Peters better get into the Hall of Fame.
First ballot…..no doubt
Hopefully we can win him a chip. That should get it done
And that Jackie Chan movie looks bad but goooood
So I think I need to reserve our first pick next year for an OT. The difference tonight is startling.
Paging D3FB.
I hear you but drafting we get in trouble when we draft for need. He’s gotta be a best player guy.
Curry is having himself a good night.
Cox vs Turner!
Cox destroying a Probowl OG
Hey guys, just imagine if Jones turns out to be Eric Allen.
OH MY
OH MYYYYY
Why, with Mccafrey and Samuel, do they throw to Jonathan Stewart lol
Rivera is part of the Andy coaching tree (I think)
He is and is prone to WtF play calling like how Carolina ended the half…
BEAUTY
HAHAHA!!!
Gotta capitalize again!!
HA!!!!!
Cam FACE
I love the Cam hissy fit
scary
Savvy move, Wentz.
Fuck Yeah!!!!!!
ERTZZZ
Ertz the all pro
No YAC worries when you catch ut IN the endzone
Sweet!
DOUBLE FUCKIGN POINTSSSS
Lol. Happy for ya
DISCOUNT DOUBLE FUCKING CHECK
To quote SonofOldman: “Fuck Yeah!!!!!” sums it up.,
Sonofdman, not old man.
Noted.
I picked that name because my dad used to refer to himself in the third person as “Dman” (my last name starts with D). He’s getting pretty old though, so SonofOldman works also.
As Gus Grissom would say… Effin A, Bubba.
What a throw!
Sounds like we’re still travelling well. Lotta cheers there.
Stop it guys I can’t upvote fast enough on my phone
Ertz with medical staff around him?
Getting his autograph?
Checking out pictures of his wife?
Checking fantasy football.
Ummm can we try to figure out an adjustment to make them pay for the these edge blitzes and yeah nice TD by ertz
This season is so much more fun than the last 10.
There’s current dominance and legit hope for a long future
Agreed, 2008 was the last I felt this good about the team. 2013 is honorable mention.
Hicks out for game
What?
Are you serious
Bleacher Report alert
Source?
What
Ertz having a quiet game…and 2 td’s
Oh snap
Big Balls Doug!
GREAT CALL DOUGIE
Holy shit Doug.
DOUGIE YOU BEAUTIFUL FUCKING MAN
Huge leadership move by Coach
Analytics strikes again!
LOVE THAT COACHING CALL
#DOUGIEFRESH
Remember earlier, when I said after they declined the penalty that CAR should have gone for it? Yeah. That’s why. fucking daggers.
DOUGIE YOU BEAUTIFUL FACED FREAKING MAN
Blount objects can break walls.
Shit, Romo just stole my comment.
About the OLine?
what he say
About ballsy taking points off the board.
My office, deep in the heart of Philly, tolerates a Cowboys fan. We have a great back and forth.
Warned her today, that if we win this game tonight, Eagles fans will be exceptionally intolerable for about 15 days.
Purge her or show her the light. Preferably the first option.
That’s gotta be pretty damn demoralizing for Panthers D
We feel it. . HICKS out, ankle injury
Crap KO coverage
Seriously, i know it is not the norm, but i love Doug’s feel for the game and willingness to take risks.
in their heads fellas.
Most coaches let that slide and just take the extra point. Pederson knew the situation and made the mathematically correct call.
The dude is a good coach. I don’t know what Mike Lombardi is smoking.
Yes sir!
Massive Leadership and heads up and initiative.
Fucking refs
Ha! Douglas looks at the dropped ball like there was something that must be wrong with it.
That was ballsy! I love it!
First real deep shot for either team?
fuck mills
That one was legit even if ticky-tacky.
Unnecessary.
Meh. He barely touched him and didn’t impede his momentum at all. That’s a non-call 9 times out of 10.
Grabbed back shoulder and pulled. Its a flag.
Shouldn’t have called it because he barely touched him and it had no effect on the play because he couldn’t catch it since we intercepted it. There would be a penalty on every play if they called everything technical.
It was just poor officiating. You don’t call everything. There would be 50-60 flags a game. You have to let em play.
No it was a bad call.
I don’t think so.
That’s a no call
shouldn’t it be uncatchable..so no penalty?
Can. Not. Wait. Until Mills is our 4th corner
Crap call
That was a bad call. Technically it was but that had no effect on the play.
Dumb. No reason to do that there. Tacky call, but gotta keep the hands off.
Yes and yes.
keuchly needs to retire.
or play in a safer city, like philly
or just retire.
Hicks out
Noooooo
Hicks and Jernigan out. Hope it’s nothing serious. Also where the hell are the sideline reporters for these things today?
Ow. Hicks out.
Fuck Pete Morelli
heh. I kind of like that play design by CAR there. kind of a QB draw screen
that’s 2 finger wags for Douglas!
nice play rasul
Should have called a PI right there, right?
It was offensive PI / offensive facemask actually .
Said the same thing. What awful one sided officiating
If we hold them..
What no flags ?????
ha, actually i could have seen the aregument for a flag on jenkins there.
Bradham. So solid
Bradham is having a good game!
Bradham going cabana boy on em
tackle by Bradham.
nice stop bradham
Apparently Jalen Mills can be a lockdown corner as long as he’s matched up against Russell Shepard.
Hee hee
Okay, who said they didn’t want to resign Bradham earlier today?
Lol
No one
Must have been that SonofOldman guy.
I don’t want to let him go without an offer but if he chooses to leave for more money then I’ll just be sad.
yo, what the hell is that on the back of mills’s head
A bitcoin.
Never noticed that? I call it a baby rat tail.
Who said it earlier? The tackling on **this** team is superb. And it is so much fun to watch.
It boggles the mind!
Wait, where is it being reported that Jernigan is out?
announcers called that hicks / jernigan both out
If Jernigan is out we be alright with honey bo bo…
Injuries piling up on D, let’s pull away on offense, get them relief
TD here let’s everyone breath.
30 minute drive or Doug needs to be fired.
lol @ all the blood all over Barner’s uniform.
Romo is a really good announcer
i will watch a game just because he’s announcing
Can’t up vote that on principle. But will acknowledge he doesn’t totally suck.
I liked him even when he was a Cowboy
Yeah, he’s great. Likable, self-effacing, and genuinely insightful.
But wait until the 4th quarter before you anoint him 😉
Subtle dig. I love it
ROLL THAT BLOUNT
They’re jumping the slants, time for a double move…
Hollins!
MACK
Wow. Even Mack10 contributing. So good
MACK
Big V barely holding on
MACK HOLLINS THERE YOU ARE!
More Mack, they’re not ready for a 2nd truck
Wentz is a stud. He’s getting visibly better every week.
Damn, Kelce’s got wheels.
You can turn it up field Barner..
Barner should have taken out thevarm flapping coach.
has there been a single penalty called on Carolina?
the one we declined at least.
and 1 other illegal formation we declined after we stopped them on third down in the first quarter.
The 2-pointer.
Yea that one after their FG..
Jake the Make time
We need a 4th down to go for. …
We already went for 1 earlier!
Greatest Kicker Ever.
Well, that play got shut down…
JAKE
Wentz is fearless. Inspires confidence. Almost like Jake Elliot
MAKE ELLIOT
Make it J4KE.
Can we get Marvin Lewis on the line?
take-backsies?
I love Wentz’s competitiveness but I don’t want him taking hits like this unless it’s the NFC title game at least.
J4KE !
JAK3
J4K3.
What are Marvin Lewis’ thoughts now?
Jean Luc with a fro. Awesome.
“He’s what, the greatest kicker in NFL history since he got there? I’m not impressed.”
Jake makes going for 4th a much tougher call.
Being up by 8 is better than being up by 7!
Did Doug check the math for that?
He has analytics guys for that.
The math would have been close. It’s always close when you have a solid chance of a fg vs the chance of keeping a drive to maybe get 7. Easier call when it is punt vs high chance of at least 3 if you convert
#math
Poor Caleb Sturgis
He’ll find a job soon.
TB on line 1
Sometimes it seems Wentz doesn’t trust his speed. He had the edge on a pursuing DT, but chose to cut it back instead. I think he could’ve hit the corner and picked up the first down.
Idk. Think there was some pursuit upfield offscreen
Really missing Lane this game
When Wentz gets any time he’s carving them up
It’s the blitzes that are killing us. That Peppers strip sack aside Big V hasn’t been awful.
Not awful, not whiffing but getting pushed back alot
Yeah, but the interior guys are too.
The right side is hanging by a thread
To be fair to Marvin Lewis, he didn’t have Jason Peters to coach up Jake.
Panthers need to run the ball more. Its going so well.
i think they’re listening
One of these motherfuckers stole bradham’s umbrella
Lol
Bradham is playing like a probowler
Was
Bradham again!
Fuck bradham hurt
Shit
Bradham. Gave us his all
Yeah, that’s… Oof
shit
Bradham best hit of the night ..too bad Dixon is so huge. Craaaaaaaap
hopefully just a stinger
Be a stinger please.
Bradham with the game of his life and then immediately goes down with injury.
NOOO NOOO BRADHAM NOOO. I WOULD HAVE RATHER GIVEN THEM THE FIRST DOWN.
I would rather they have scored….
Bradham sold out on that tackle and may have paid for it
Oh no. Not pretty
HOPE it’s a stinger.
Bradham having a good game. We can’t afford to lose both him and Hicks.
forgot hicks out
Oh god no
We didnt chose jake he chose us
Damn hoping Bradham is just shook…
Fuck, we gotta get out of this game in a hurry. Chew up that clock!
Can we get some damn sideline reports? Is CBS this incompetent?
No and yes. The order of the answers may change.
Doug really has the guys ready to play today. Impressive
Is Joe Banner a trainer now?
Shame of this all is: both these teams are good. Playoff worthy. Maybe deep runs. We’re banging the crap out of each other. Hope we’re both healthy enough to see the rematch in January.
We have 11 days off before our next game. Good thing.
All the penalties called on the Panthers have come on late flags after the eagles have already stopped them third down.
Hey, everybody. Win or lose, I’m getting paid to watch this game right now.
where are teh blitz beaters
Jeffery cmon man
dropped in the bucket
No flag on that. He had his arm.
Refs 6 Eagles 1
They can’t adjust to the blitz.
We’ve got to burn them on one of these blitzes.
P.I.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? WHERE IS THE FLAG?!?!!?
im sorry they dont call those on the home team
My bar just heard the same. Including the outdoor tables.
For all you guys that wanna pay 17…
Watch the replay…
His arm was held clearly.
PI and we didn’t get the call
Goddam home cooking from this crew
With the way they have been calling PI on the Eagles, that was definitely PI.
OK, again, both punters are left footed. Romo’s comments were really dumb on that one earlier.
Ruins Wentz fulfilling Romo’s challenge to stand in and deliver the ball accurately
I mean he did his part. That was a drop.
No it wasn’t. Again, he was clearly held.
Nope
That is so fucking textbook defensive PI too. Hooked his arm early and impeded the act of trying to go for the catch. Fuck you Morelli.
So how was that not PI and the Mills/McLeod pick was???
Timing of contact..
Bullshit. The DB was holding down Jeffery’s arm before the ball got there.
Catch the ball. He shouldn’t need excuses.
Should have sold it more
Home cookin’.
McCleod taking good angles today
Looks like Goode is in for Bradham.
Oof. that is not how you defend a RO
Goode and Walker yikes
He’ll probably bust off a 50 yard TD now but I’m not impressed with McCaffrey. He looks like a white Lorenzo Booker to me.
Well said
McCaffrey doesn’t want the pain of running between tackles
Not if he moved to WR. He’s a bit more explosive in open space than Booker was.
Bradham back in!
Seriously?
Now BG is hurt
ugh
body bag game
Body bag sport
A little Jenkins headhunting on that one.
BRADHAM BACK IN BABY
GRAHAMA WTF
FUCK U REFS
Right call. But still fuck them.
Hicks, Graham, Jurnigan, Bradham?
nope
What a game.
Thinking same exact thing yo
Seriously. NFL Network hasn’t had a good game in forever. This is playoff level stuff.
That Rams game was pretty good
The game wouldn’t be close if the refs weren’t screwing us over.
All the better. Wouldn’t want it to be too easy.
No it hasn’t been better. Our guys are getting banged up because of it.
ugh. just go down barner…
FACE MASK
K no more Barner
Face Mask?
Yeah but not with these refs. This is terrible.
Maybe Sproles can run that play. Barner, no.
marcus throw a fucking block, hes past the line
Right. Wouldn’t have mattered though
Seumalo out there whiffing…
OFC
What Wis did not hold. This is bullshit
Yep on the second part.
fuck you refs
I haven’t seen a game called this bad in awhile.
Jesus christ, just pound the fucking ball with Blount between the tackles.
55 mayo is a cheap shot mf and he got away with a face mask
MACK
WTF is Carolina 5 deep at LB? Sheesh
Mayo has looked good hasn’t he. A lot better than Goode
Barner you idiot.
be more decisive.
That was nice
love this guy.
Mack!
MACK… but holy shit Wentz
amazing play by wentz
Wow, Carson. Just wow.
Lots of smiles in the 2 1 5 and the 6 1 OH YEaH
The emergence of the guy who is playing Jeffery’s spot next year
Hell Yeah!
GIMME THAT BABY MACK
I want my baby Mack baby Mack baby Mack.
Bout time AJ..
Wentz has to throw it to him. AJ’s game was half contested catches with Cutler.
theres that fucking deep ball
Did I mention that I like this new Eagles QB? Hope we keep him.
There. thats what you fucking pay for. shut your mouths.
we need more
Yeah man Riley Cooper money earned there. I’m fine with that.
BTW, like your “new” avatar. Seems more natural.
I love that we have an irrationally hates Alshon guy! It’s like everyone on the team has at least one commenter who dislikes them and will not give them credit no matter what they do.
Wentz is god
Jesus Wentz must be so demoralizing to play against.
You could throw that better Wentz
To be fair, part of why Douggy Ps screens dont always work that well is that Wentz is pretty inconsistent with the throws.
Yes. But after the previous 2 throws I’m willing to give a little.
I really can’t wait to see what depths of moronitude Skip Bayless plumbs to come up with a hot take about how Wentz isn’t that good tomorrow.
I think I prefer that to Wentz becoming a national favorite. Living long enough to see yourself become the villain and all that…
PFF gonna lose all credit when they hammer him 15 minutes after final whistle with their highly critical in depth look
He took too many sacks (conveniently forgets how bad Vaitai is).
good catch by ags there
Wished he could of made a move and get a couple more yards…then again he might fumble in traffic
Bad throw by Wentz. He had no chance
Chew that clock. Glad they are representing so well on a national stage
4th quarter lead on the road.
Are we watching a really good team here or is Carolina a fluke?
both
Washington was good too and we won. Don’t doubt
Always a bit of both
Carolina is not a fluke.
This is our most impressive performance – even when/if we collapse next quarter.
We’re good and Carolina is good. It’s a good football game.
If Carolina is a top team, we are too.
They can’t all be flukes.
Some, I assume, are good people.
I feel like these Thursay games no one gets enough time to recover from the week before and it leaves them more vulnerable to injury
at least we’re getting ours out of the way early in the season
YaysyaAaaaaaaaags
WOOOOOO
AG – GO – LAR!!!!!!!!!11
AGS YES. Have Ertz and Aghs on my fantasy team
I have Ertz on 1 and Ags on another!
Doubly or quadruply awesome…
And I sat Funchess!
Fuckin A
🙂
oh my goodness ags.
Wentz is heavenly 4real. tHat 3rd down he just made roethlisbergerlike
“That” 3rd down. Like every 3rd down this year it seems
Lol true dat
Agssssss
There is the blitz beater.
Agholor as a prime time weapon?
http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/a0/a0237f317b555f1b75a586d4dc254ff015fca4af728f78d0eab4808847ed65ba.jpg
Agholor is an upgrade on Matthews as a slot WR. Way more explosive.
Excellent point. JMatt would have caught, but not made the end zone.
I mean, that OT winning catch against that Dalass team begs to differ on that. JMatt would have made the end zone, he just wouldn’t have caught the ball.
I’m not sure if JMatt would have really caught that.
WAY
This team respects it’s vets, Kelce love
Whats better. .seeing a guy give it to his lineman to spike or a guy who shoos away all his teammates to walk to the tv to celebrate by himself
UGHOLOR HAS DIED thankfully.
lol
Who would have guessed this run defense would be notably better without Logan this year?
Don’t sleep defense
yo, call that cheap shot on bradham by 68
Don’t think it was cheap (hope) but it was ugly. Glad to see Bradham bounce up
better not give it to the eagles with 9 minutes left….
Kendricks quietly having a solid game.
OMG Kendricks. I’m so happy we didn’t trade him for a 7th
Kendricks… wooo boy.
Newton isn’t nearly as dynamic running the ball. Looks like McNabb after he got a bit heavier and was in the year 6-7 years.
He’s had a lot of injuries. He was electric when he was younger.
Looks like a black Wentz
Punch…counterpunch.
Hold not called
Graham is back.
Good. Worried
Do I hear defense chants?
BG back in
We need pressure
Holy shit Hamilton pancaked the LG and that hustle.
Worm burner!
Good call, Jim.
Wow we are up by 2 scores and it still feels so tense
nice call Jim
Olsen on igglesblitz?
DIVE
Play of the game here.
did they blow the whistle?
yes I heard it.
You dumb $hit Barnett. 2nd week in a row.
Refs 7 Eagles 1
That was so dumb
FLOPPPPPP
you know, in hockey thats 2 for embellishment.
fuck you refs
omg, that replay…. thought he did it again
I thought only Brady got those calls.
Why is Walker playing so many snaps tonight?
hicks out
Ok I missed the early part of the game.
Cam can be a hard nosed runner sometimes, but an Italian soccer player wayyy too much
whos keeping the ref score?
博客不错，大爱哦！
he took a hell of a hit on that one.
TD
yep
Yes. .50/50 if they can overturn the call on the field however .. glad they at least whacked him
Newton is going to have an abbreviated career with all the hits he takes.
Brings it on himself
Notable on the close up how large that flak jacket he is wearing right now is.
He threw the challenge because he was gonna call timeout for Cam anyway. Smart
He is going to get the TD.
He scored. But there’s no indisputable evidence. No TD
with these refs?
Definitely a TD
Agreed.
He’s got the distance, but they have to prove he was in bounds still when he get there.
The call wad made in NYC not Charlotte
He doesn’t need to be in bounds though, the goal line extends forever.
Huh?
He doesn’t need to get it inside the pylon, just beyond the goal line extended past the sideline before he lands.
That’s what they meant when they said it extends around the world.
Hmm didn’t know that
They changed the rule a few years ago. The ball needs to pass inside the pylon (or over the pylon), but the body can be anywhere as long as it hasn’t touched OB.
That’s not what Romo just said with the “goal line extends around the world” explanation.
I’m pretty sure they modified that rule.
Yea not enough evidence.
Refs 7 Eagles 2?
OK. Refs 7 Eagles 2.
I’ll make it a tie, if the Panthers fail to score.
stepped on your toes there, shoulda been more patient
Wow the grunts on that play lol
cam sneak td
blown coverage. Goode?
Was probably going to call a timeout anyways to let cam catch his breath so may as well challenge
Exactly
Time to eat 8 minutes off the clock.
Ok Fipp. Be ready for anything!!!
Its just a great football game. I’m glad I get to see this.
Refs have been awful. So much home team calling. But that has kept the game tight and is good experience for the team. Go win it from here.
Yes, but they always are. Despite that, these are good, talented teams making plays. Good game.
Refs made it closer than it should be.
Go win the game with a 6+ min TD drive
Time to see what the run game is all about. This should be all Blount and Clement.
This Eagles’ defense is just missing too many pieces right now to be effective right now.
Looked a bit gassed that drive too.
Still might well have stopped them if not for that roughing penalty.
We’re down 2 additional starters. Come on dude.
Cox, Hicks, Darby. Best DL/pass rusher/best LB/best CB.
Missing an awful lot of key pieces.
My bad didn’t realize Cox was playing tonight.
They show themselves in the foot. had 2 bad hits on Cam
E: shot
Yeah goode vs mccaffrey ..
get at least a FG here
That was such a horrifically dumb roughing the passer there had to be some extenuating circumstance there…
bet they couldn’t hear the whistle…it was barely audible on the broadcast
Need the offense to give our D a rest even if they can’t put up points.
Mills and Barnett better be nervous right now. Their penalties made this close.
Bullshit penalties.
This is where the dominant OLine comes out roaring normally
Fuck you refs
F.
U.
1 penalty for 1 yard for Carolina. This is unbelievable.
They’ve had plenty that were ignored.
Ertz did that on purpose to run more of the clock
NO FUCKING FLAG???
Refs 8 Eagles 2
Refs suck
Bad decision. Low percentage play.
Bad route
Huh, huh. It’s funny to hear a meteorologist talking about routes.
xD
Not the usual third down offense we see from them
block in the back ignored
Of course there was no flag.
Why Doug? Why?
Why what?
Could have called a penalty on that play.
Looks like ‘last one to have the ball’ wins type of game.
I’m with Jake the Make. Give Wentz 60+ seconds. I’ll take that chance.
Gotta get a stop… but refs will do their best to decide the game
That penalty differential is outrageous. Panthers have not played that clean a game
This game is rigged.
They should be checking Morelli’s finances after this game.
PenaltyGate
Morelli probably won’t leave the stadium alive if we lose this game.
If we’re going to lose this, it’s because of poor officiating. Damn.
our STs ace injured
Maragos now, too?
COX UP
robinson looking for the pick there.
Good. A backbreaker wins the game.
Rasul*
that was the next play.
It was Rasul the first time too pretty sure
Trying to jump the routr
Does Rasul have the burst to jump these at the NFL level?
No.
Burst might be his best asset
More the experience when to use it.
Not as a rookie
Fuck you refs
Ref was on his game on that one.
..
The ref threw a flag while rolling over
Was that just 7 in to block 4?
Cam has too much time
WTF IS GROWING IN HIS KNEEE
Barnett with his first sack!
Pick 6 please
what no flag??
BARNETT FIRST SACK
Really disappointing that these refs are letting Carolina be handsy with us but we can’t get the same callls
We making their DBs look way too good regardless
10/126 vs. 1/1
hamilton looks like he might have something
Refs 8 Eagles 3
Thought we’d get flagged for a late hit on QB.
Jenkins has to make that tackle
Burn ’em Rivera, burn ’em.
Reid coaching tree!
RT jumped offsides
Looked like peters
Jenkins comes in so hot…
Jenkins doing his old Kurt Coleman.
fuck
goddammit
UGHHHH CATCH ITITITIITIT
Catch that!
Omg
Lay out douglas
Oh Butter Fingers!
what no flag ref>?
diving for the flag.
He fall over with no contact, but I really thought they were going to call PI
Has Means gotten a snap? Haven’t seen him but it looks like some fresh legs are necessary for that pass rush
Barnett is doing work out there. keep him in.
Surprised they didn’t throw a flag on that uncatchable pass..
THERE IT IS
Try to take that one back you fuckin refs
Upvote *1000
Game blouses.
MILLS
Okay, okay. Still too much time to relax…
Mills and Barnett with the redemption this drive.
What was Newton thinking?!
Wants to give us the game. Don’t second guess him just accept it!
Probably felt bad about the refs.
basically need 2 first downs.
Mills you gotta run. Game isn’t over. Kinda like the unselfish thought though.
Youngin trying to be smart, but not quite seeing it all.
You don’t want to fumble it right back. Getting possession back is worth at least 1.5 minutes of game time and Carolina’s remaining timeout.
What you do is run it further and then go down the same way you did only you get further own the field.
I need to watch the original Blade Runner. Last time I fell asleep 10 minutes in.
definitely a slow burn.
One first down will do it…
Mills might not be fast, but he is smart and a team player. Loved to see he immediately looked to go down with that rather than trying to return it.
How many times is Newton going to throw it to us? we’ve only caught 50% of them so far. Overrated.
