If Wentz plays and loses, oh boy there's gonna be some great hot takes.

Is Doug gonna do that dumb shtein where he won't admit that Wentz isn't playing, and gets all mad at the media like it's some big farging secret he's trying to keep from the Texans?
For the love of god stick with Smallwood. He's vanilla as farg but at least he hits holes fast and can make quick cuts. Adams cutting is like watching a tractor trailer make a turn.
I don't get the Adams hate. In almost a hundred career rushes he's averaging 4.5 yards. I don't care what it looks like when it happens--Blount was the fugliest runner I can recall in a long time too--he's doing work.
He gets a hole he's fine, he accelerates nicely and knows how to fall forward. If there's no hole he's not quick enough to make a cut and I've never seen a slower back try to bounce it to the outside. He's also tall with long thin legs and a long stride, not powerful enough to break tackles, not stout or strong enough to keep his legs churning. I have no idea why they run him up the middle on short yardage plays, he's not a power back and doesn't get going fast enough to use his momentum.
Blount on the other hand was a farging bull. He has deceptive speed for a big man and nobody wanted to tackle him one on one.
Smallwood is vanilla as they come but at least he cuts fast and is slippery. Adams should be more of a change of pace back because the one thing he does have going for him is he could break a long run whereas Smallwood doesn't have that breakaway speed.
smallwood is absolute garbage. he ran better last night than ive ever really seen but please stop

When I say he's vanilla it's essentially saying he's garbage. He's just more useful garbage than Adams.
Use all of the backs.
Adams has his moments. I'd like Doug to maybe come up with a better short yardage play though than lining him up in shotgun and having his lumbering ass try to get the first on a slow developing play.

What kills me is they have a 6'5 qb...just run a damn sneak.
If they're going to insist on using screens, I wish they'd bring back the bunch WR screen.

We talking about the RBs or the QBs?
The last couple of years I think the team has had a good feel for which RBs to use in which situations. I can't say the same about knowing when to call runs vs. when to call passes though.

You'd absolutely get 180 degree different commentary from me if I was drunk. I actually said a few things the other night that I'm surprised hasn't gotten me a visit from some motherfargers in dark suits and sunglasses.

Lamar Miller OUT
I just helped a rich white lady and her granddaughter figure out how to use public transit. She was wearing a Patriots shirt.
God owes me one.

So what's the primary negadelph angle on how this is gonna go:
- Eagles lose, Minny wins, Eagles are eliminated by 5pm today
- Eagles win, Minnesota loses, crushing loss against already eliminated Skins next week
- Eagles win out, none of the other games go their way (the slow death)
- Eagles win and qualify for meaningless playoff run, lose star players to major injuries that will definitely impact next season
Oh man, a three and out on the opening drive, but for the other team!
I guess they want Ertz to get that record on this drive.
Sprolesy!
I love Sproles so much.
seems last seasons team and coach is back again..
Crap, the Texans figured out that throwing to WRs works against the Eagles.
Also, what a stupid sack.
Dan Fouts trying to make a retarded case that head coaches should call plays differently than offensive coordinators.
Ugly
Welp, so much for those playoff dreams.
FFS... on the five yard line no less
Olé!
We want Wentz
We want Wentz

But the quarterback controversy, though!
Was that Rogers the 9th TE on the depth chart who Clowney ran right past?
The little guy is trying to keep his career going.
The part of Savior Alshon Jeffery will be played by Darren Sproles.
Oh yeah, Agholor is on this team.
Weird how running up the middle doesn't work against a good 3-4 defense.
What did Doug see on the tape that made him believe running up the middle against the Texans on 3rd and 1 was possible.
If Goeddert didn't catch that he could have just walked home right there.
Why do I have the feeling Doug isn't gonna figure this out no matter how many plays they get.
Adams is pretty good when he's got a giant hole and doesn't immediately walk into a lineman.
Guess this is one way to run the clock down?
They're setting up the 1st and goal 50 yard bomb. Doug is amazing.

He's pretty good when all the defenders in the area are being held.
This is the weirdest goal line stand ever.
Jesus that was a bad facemask
Two fourth down TDs. Elephantiasis Doug on display.
How is that missed? Jesus.
No pressure from dline today.
I guess it's ok to try to rip a QB's head off in the middle of the field now.
I hate nfl refs, disgusting.
Tre Sullivan is garbage.
Oh, now they're paying attention to heads.
motherfarg this ref
farg everything about these refs.
Unwatchable
This is not football. It's an absolute joke.
Vuh-TIE, as Fouts calls him, is getting farging wrecked by Clowney
Big V is the Big farg up today
Dumb throw to Matthews there.
This is some Andy style 2 minute drill playcalling.

Fouts got to grow a pair and try pronounce that shtein.
Ertz injured right after he decides to go for the marker instead of the sideline. Brilliant all around.
Congratulations to Ertz for tying the TE reception record, not getting out of bounds, and maybe blowing out his knee.
I'm the last person to complain about refs but that was an abominable quarter.
https://twitter.com/LesBowen/status/1076922238870409217
Okay, just get Ertz off the field now.
Don't worry Sproles, didn't need that first down anyway.
Eventually going for it on 4th down isn't going to work.
They really need to stop giving this game away.
Quote from: Rome on December 23, 2018, 02:47:01 PM

Don't worry, it's definitely given away for real this time.
And I was so looking forward to a rematch in the Superdome.
Alshon doing Alshon things.
Ian Eagle playing fast and loose with the word "Accelerates" on that Rogers catch
This deep singleback running thing just refuses to work, I don't get it.
Gotta love the run in 3rd and too long.
I honestly wasn't expecting that FG to be good.
Wonderful pair of playcalls there with long yardage needed
Pass rush on early holiday break.
How are they going to turn it over this time?
THe ole one play scoring drive turnover
Saint Nick
Swagholor is back! :crazy
Beautiful long pass and run
Even Tre Sullivan is making positive plays now. What a turnaround.
And I was just about to be disappointed that after the Maddox dropped interception they weren't going to have another chance to really put this game away.
YaY! turnover
Wow! Finally got to him
Surprised the NFL didn't call for a flag on the ski mask thinking it was promoting criminal behavior

Ah, the old skimasking penalty.
Sorano? Where are the caps for bats?
I cringe every time I see a flag just waiting for the stupid exclamation
The longest RAC of Ertz's career.
great run by ertz
Soccer kicking Romes must die.
See Ertz, good things happen when you stay on your feet
Too bad Tampa can't get it together and beat Dallas
Jesus Christ Elliot stinks
It would be cool if this pash rush could tackle a comparatively small man.
May not be your day went DeAndre Carter is eating you alive
They're just making up player names now.
Good sack for Hester
Damn! Huge stop!

HA! And colleges too.
Just how many weird positional passing records got broken today?
Cut Adams.
Are you farging kidding me
Bullshtein penalty
Trade Adams and Wentz to Giants for OBJ
Don't hit a helmet with your torso, kids.
That's the right call on the penalty, but I'm still salty about the earlier screwups.
Seriously this league is a farging joke
That's just ban football forever effective immediately
Awful call!
Just awful.
So the back judge who has his head up his ass while Foles almost gets decapitated buy a non-clearly obvious facemask penalty? farg you NFL
No holding on that. Nope. Worst officiated game I've seen in two weeks.
Thanks Josh Adams for the third fourth quarter double digit lead blown this season
So we're in agreement they're going to lose by 1, right?
And the nice big farg you to Jake Elliott
Who in the hell is this number 49 on the birds?
Yep, this one's over.
Oh my god!
Self destructive morons
Can Schwartz trade in his pedo stubble for DBs?
You gotta be farging kidding me
no F'ing way....
They deserve to lose this after the entire farging line just whiffed.
How the farg do you let somebody get behind you on that?
Well, F
Miss the PAT, take this shteinshow to overtime.
Houston had literally given up prior to Adams fumble.
What in the farg was Douglas doing?
Well, these two minutes are the season. What you got, Doug?
Going for 2
Elliot missed pat
Adams cough
See y'all next year
Surely you have faith that they can get into field goal range with two minutes, maybe the two minute warning, and two timeouts. With that many twos, they're bound to win by two!
nice return icehole
Another meltdown.
Those yards were definitely more important than the two minute warning.
That botched coverage on the punt that would've put Houston at the one didn't matter anyway because Watson was still going to drive these fargers 99 yards and score
In Elliot we don't trust!
Ugh, just turn it over so I can go clean my oven.
Foles down...
Time for some Suds
Time for STUDFELD.
this is really the part of the season where you want to see nate sudfeld
I like Dan Fouts but please shut the farg upj

Wentz will win a dozen rings, each time from the sidelines as a different quarterback gets Superbowl MVP.
Please burn some clock
Ertz can't stay standing twice on one play even with no one around.
It's gonna suck when the kick is wide.
Let's not pretend the Eagles are within Elliot's true range. He could miss from the 1 yard line.
The little person's got to catch that

I might puke a little
Was O'Brien prepared to let that thing go down to 0:01 without using his TO?
I really wish they just woulda went for the TD instead of palying for the kick
Champs!
Believed in you the whole way, Jake.
Never doubted 'em!
Knew he had it the whole time, glad they played for the kick
By the way while you were watching that, the other games were disastrous enough that the Eagles playoff odds are about 10% lower than they were this morning.
Eagles need:
Win AND MIN loss (against Bears junior varsity team)
or
Win AND SEA loss x 2 (Chiefs, Cards)
Bears can still get a bye. No reason to bench players next week assuming they win today.
It isn't even looking like a lock that the Bears win today.
interesting game, glad the eagles won
go team
Bears are fighting the Rams for potential bye correct? At least both the Bears and Rams games are 4:25 games next week as well.... so the Bears should still have plenty to play for. Granted the Iggles need to beat the Skins, etc.... may even take my boy to that game.

its bad that the bears are at 425...would have been much better for them to have played before the rams
the small hope that the eagles have is that the bears wanna diss their rival more than they want to rest players in the second half after the rams are up 35 on san fran
Whatever. All I care about is, defeat the Racists. Finish this disaster of a season with a 9-7 record, and avoid total post-SB embarrassment. If they make the playoffs, I'll be happy and all, but not nearly as happy as I will be disgruntled if they finish 8-8 with a loss to Jay Gruden and Dan Snyder.
farging NFL and their shady bullshtein. I hate those fargers.
Wouldn't have been fair to let the Rams rest their guys knowing that they have the two locked up. Was inevitable the games would be moved to the same time. Bad for the Eagles because now we have to root for the Niners to show up too.

they arent a good team but they primarily have been hanging around in games. if gurley doesnt play (decent chance), they def. could. entering 4Q, the rams were up on arizona 24-9 and arizona is much worse than san fran is.
i in no way expect san fran to win the game but its totally within the relm of possibility they are IN the game, which prevents chicago from pulling their starters.
gurley is playing and theres zero chance the rams are in the game at half
like I said the only possibility is that the bears wanna knock a rival out of the playoffs more than they care about resting guys...but apparently the coach has come out and said they will rest if the opportunity presents itself
so basically the eagles have an offseason of thinking about how they were out of the playoffs because they choked double digit 4th quarter leads to the panthers and titans
never underestimate cuzzo's ability to gag away a game
2 years ago, same scenario. he loses at home to the giants.
