big eagles/boys game in dallas...you know what that means
(http://purplejesus.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/mcnabb-dance.gif?w=320)
Oh boy, my favorite team is almost good again, time to watch them step on a rake.
Mike Vick be like..."send me back to the joint!"
Thankfully, this is now only the second cringiest thing Jackson has seen his starting quarterback do.
He's much more charming when he's drunk driving or asking random women at work if they are squirters.
Kamu Grugier-Hill just called the Cowboys chokers. He's not wrong because they have been forever, especially against the Eagles, but still... lol.
who ?

in the last ten seasons dallas is 13-8 vs. the eagles
How many Ringzzzz they got in that time, though?
:-D
Yes that win on the last day of the season meant so much.
Pretty sure they've split the series every year the last 4-5 years
Talk that shtein, Kamu.
I like it
It'd be cool if they'd beaten Dallas at home before talking shtein, though.
True
But it's still good to hear something other than canned responses
Does it really matter either way? They're 6-6. If they get beat it was expected. If they win they prove the third string LB right. Bottom line is the Eagles have to run the table and the first step is beating Dallas trash. Let's do it.
they actually don't have to run the table, which is good because they arent beating the rams
there are several logical scenarios that get them in at 9-7, but pretty much all of them revolve around winning this game
every scenario is logical if they win all the games they wont
they def wont beat the patriots in the super bowl
no chance
i predicted they would
If they can get a steady running game established they have a chance. Fault Doug for a lot of things but last year he was as good as there was in the league at changing up and disguising formations. This season I already know what the damn play is as soon as they line up. He's finally starting to realize his offensive line isn't the same as last season and Wentz isn't getting a pocket, so he's designing some rollouts and letting Wentz make plays. Aside from last week Tate's been awful, but he can be an annoyance to defenses once he gets going. That's my glass half full outlook anyway.
Think we've all been waiting for that "this team has finally turned it on" moment but now it's put up or shut up time.

:yay OL has digressed, not getting overly excited after Kelce's performance Monday night. Let's all enjoy the Jason Peters retirement tour. Maybe Lane has learned to just shut up and play.
:yay So true about the predictable offense
Regressed, unless you mean they started talking about a different topic.
After the results of the early games, the Eagles have a 31% chance to make the playoffs (20% as division winner, 11% as WC). Goes up to 58% with a win, drops to 11% with a loss.
Starting off the game with some home cookin'.
Well, THAT sucked. Stupid officials...
right call, bad luck
I guess this isnt the year where he learns to get rid of the ball sooner
Horrible pass to Godert
the wr's didn't even look like they were trying on that 3rd down....embarrassing effort
dallas is just loaded with talent....have no idea how they are 7-5.....Jason garrett I guess

Don't disagree about the replay. Just the missing of the fumble in the first place.
EDIT: And the Eagles suck, so it probably doesn't matter anyway.
Can't even blitz without farging up

Didn't have any talent in the passing game until they got Cooper. Prescott is the 22nd ranked QB by QBR (between Allen and Mayfield).

Exactly. Everything that went right for the Eagles last season is going the other way. In the end, it doesn't matter much if the Eagles go 9-7 or 7-9.
And Clement's leg just exploded.
does anyone bobble more snaps in history than wentz
wentz looks like a disaster so far

At what point is Sidney Jones a fragile bust
Rasuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul
dak picking apart the eagles on the blitz but cant make a mid-level throw
at least wentz over throws everyone by 10 yards
Doug working out of the high school playbook again.
doug pederson is a joke
doug is an absolute joke
That call brought back memories of the Chipster.

I think they may grant your wish.
anytime you can 13 plays in the first half with a trash defense comprised of backups, its something you have to do
There is no human being in the NFL slower than Chris Long
arent you declining this penalty?
3rd and 25 or whatever no opportunity to go for it on 4th and short and longer fg and possible dak pick

It may be time to move on, this guy will never be healthy.
With 1:23 to go in the first half, Dallas leads the Eagles in the Toilet Bowl 3-0.
the eagles need offensive playmakers in the offseason so bad....just load up
wentz is clueless
put in foles
Wake up Ginger! What the farg!
He just waits...and waits...and waits.
and if you are going to do that then move around or out of the pocket
that's a brutal call
lol what was the point of that call the clock was gonna run out
these teams are terrible
they got that fg because dak is amazingly inaccurate
If all the NFC East teams played a round robin tournament on a neutral field starting this week, the Giants win, right?
Way to make the most of getting the ball first in the second half.
20 minutes and this is what they come up with
buck said adams has been shut down since the first possession
hes had one carry since the first posession
Doug blames mental errors? By him or the team?
is alshon Jeffery still on the team?
Ginger was barely touched. Playing like shtein.
Must be nice to have the personal to run a blitz, Dallas seems to have it down.
Winnipeg had more pts than this game
Quote from: ice grillin you on December 09, 2018, 06:02:13 PM

3 targets to WRs the whole game. Byron Jones can't be covering all of them.
why are they throwing it there
stupid throw on first and a stupid run on third
a microcosm of competent offense and the eagles are winning this game
Quote from: ice grillin you on December 09, 2018, 06:07:05 PM
why are they throwing it there
Fox helpfully cut to a lot of shots of Garrett near the end of that drive for people asking that question.
Roll Wentz out and having him farging throw it down the field, Doug. Doesn't matter if the WRs can't get open, gotta keep the D honest if there's any chance at all to come back in this game.
wentz is a train wreck
if this is the punishment for winning the super bowl then just disband the franchise
That 8 yard pass to Ertz is literally the only play in the playbook that functions.

Yes he's the franchise but if Dallas scores here wouldn't mind seeing Foles in Q4. Jesus Jr. looks lost, puzzled, rattled, spooked, need I go on?
original joke incoming:
dak is the eagles best offensive player
Might be below Baker Mayfield in QBR now.
Hey Carson, I suck too!
not sure what was worse dak or the celebration
He's worse than Wentz AND his hairline is receding faster.
JFC he missed the extra point.
Also what was that celebration?
What a series of events. Awful pass, awful celebration, awful Cowboys being butthurt at the celebration, awful kick.
cant believe that was jakes first missed xp
I really didn't know what the celebration was supposed to be
bradham has 1 hand...not an ideal way to tackle zeke
Defense is quietly heroic today.
Brandon graham got lucky as shtein he didn't go to the ground at first and still ended up getting it
just for shteins and giggles and to keep people honest could the eagles go downfield one time
whats the difference between wentz and sanchez
wentz still waited a beat too long to get it to sproles...just enough to get it there
the run is out of the play chart
fade it up to alshon
holy shtein how do you not throw it in the end zone
What the farg with this offense? Disgrace
No need to throw it into the endzone when your target is known for breaking tackles and his YAC prowess.
Yo
a tie would not be good for the eagles...basically the same as a loss
why is wentz's first look on third and goal from the 8 a 3 yard slant to an immobile TE?
He didn't even look anywhere else. I get if it's your checkdown. Whatever

farging toss it up to your monstrous WR in the corner of the end zone and see what happens...we know whats happening with a slant to ertz from the 6 yard line
that might be the worst call ive ever seen
Please get rid of Sydney Jones!
make up call
nfl throws a flag on every play
This game is a real national showcase of what the NFC East has to offer this season.
^^^^yes sir
Sydney Jones couldn't cover my grandmother, and she's dead
what a beautiful throw
They figured out that Sid Jones on the outside is just Chandon Sullivan.

lol doug runs it like 5 times since the first drive then does that when the game is on the line
golden tate wants to be back in seattle so bad
lol what a series
Does Wentz have thoracic outlet syndrome?
Break his farging neck.
if they don't choke here and the defense easily could then wentz has a chance to change his narrative
sidney jones reminds me of bradley fletcher
now that was wide open
short field....if you are a franchise qb you go down and score here
there you go
great throw
this is almost too quick
When I see the white guy with the 80-something jersey knocking guys over and getting YAC I know it's goedert

Holla
Glad we traded for Tate tho
OMG this is too funny
Nice push off. Again.
Jim Schwartz for President
that might be a good thing...score here with next to no time, go for 2
thats your route to winning
unless he should have been shaded over to coopers side and just didn't do it that isn't corey graham....that's jim schwartz
O/U on runs in this drive: 0
Push off or not #41 was burnt like toast
ugh
that is an embarrassing call
That's a soft call
Wow someone slower than long?
NFL unwatchable
Yeah he went low there, knew they were going to call that as soon as Wentz bent backwards. Soft ass call though.
this league is a joke
jesus this comically bad reffing
Let's just have the refs flip a coin to decide this game. They seem to want to decide it themselves.
All referees all need to be thrown into a bonfire
throw wentz into a volcano
I cant believe how much of a joke this league is
Finally a good call
You should hear the Dallas trash in here whining anout the officiating. No. Really.
This game features nearly everything awful about the NFL, right down to Jerry Jones. Someone's gonna punch a lady before this thing is over.
two right?
wow
get your 2 point play ready
the farg is doug thinking
I love the ball in Sproles' hands in those big spots. Ol' reliable.
come on doug
There's no way this team is stopping them from getting into FG range with 1:39 left and two Dallas timeouts and the secondary being as bad as it is.
they scored on a pitch and catch 80 yarder last time they had the ball....go for two dummy
and they had had a chance to piut this at the 1!
go die doug
Are they gonna fire this ref?
do nfl refs have a flag quota?
Dallas fans have a reason to bitch there
lets throw a flag on every play
This officiating has to be addressed
might be time to blitz
To farging easy for Dallas
good lord dak
clap on clap off
Holy shtein!
i repreat a tie is the same as a loss for the eagles
farg, can't take seeing this secondary another second
Not sure who that team was that won the Super Bowl, but this is the heart attack inducing shteinshow I grew up watching.
I hate this here. Even if the Cowboys don't get the TD with a first down they can chew up a lot of the remaining clock.
Interesting
good call for dallas...they know a tie is a win so they are trying to hold the ball or get the td
Does Doug even understand that the clock is a concern?
Bennett is my new favorite Eagle
Yeah Doug you gotta use a time out dude what are you dojng
Quote from: QB Eagles on December 09, 2018, 07:48:20 PM

Doug doesn't understand a lot of things.
A first down is virtually as deadly as a touchdown here.
This is quintessential Doug.
Wtf
sickening
Lol
lol and thats how this season ends
what a farce
Honestly who cares
actually great coverage but you gotta bat it down not tip it up
farging season ended in Tennessee and the dagger was the Carolina loss, a loss to a bigger shtein shown than the birds
God forbid they have double coverage on a guy who torched them for two bills.
lotta things going on in this game but never foget
1) 3 quarters of utter incompetence offensively
2) the offense sucked up until 4Q
The game started with a shtein call. It ended with shtein luck. And there was a ton of zesty play in between.
7-9, here we come.

In a normal division in a normal year I would agree that they were dead weeks ago.
But in this pathetic division they would be favorites to make the playoffs right now if they had simply won the coin toss and scored the TD in OT. The season really did end just a few minutes ago. We just saw it and it was nasty.
You can say who cares because they would never beat the Saints or Rams anyway (or even the Seahawks probably), but at least we'd have another month of watching a team playing for something.
they are theoretically very much alive at with 9-7 but yea i mean they arent beating the rams
so its not OVER but its over
Wentz is kinda bad right now. If the best healthy quarterback in the division wasn't Nick Foles this team would have been out of contention weeks ago.
Wentz played like shtein
Refs were brutal
DL played as best as they could but the back end was the undoing
Groh and Doug have been awful
I liked that Wentz tried to take off a few times. I dislike that he had no other choice and also can't cut very well 11 months after knee surgery for some reason.

he took off on the Georgia tech option
If doug hadnt won the big game last year, he'd be on his way to the hardware store looking foe a new gig.
That game was dreadful but they should have won regard!ess.
as good as the defense was it couldn't get off the field on 3rd down and that was really the difference
the difference was a few calls/bounces went against the birds and doug and wentz were beyond pitiful for a majority of the game
the defense is largely talentless and that they were able to keep dallas to 23 in regulation is impressive regardless if a lot of that was dak being terrible on his own
Not being able to tackle and not being able to cover receivers isn't an optimal combination for a defense. If there wasn't a receiver wide open on third down, then someone was spinning out of a tackle for a 2 yard loss to pick up the first.
Still, if you're holding an offense to 9 points for that long, you should be winning easily.

You sir are no Juan Castillo disciple.
that game did wonders for my blood pressure.
Not reading through the whole thread.
Fumble on the kickoff was an absolute joke. Sure it's been covered
Goedert TD call back was god awful. It actually worked out in the Birds favor because there's zero doubt in my mind the Cowboys march down the field and at least kick a FG.
I wouldn't have faulted Doug for going for the 2pt conversion after the game tying TD. They were moving the ball and had momentum. I know he would have been crucified if they didn't make it.
Seen Sidney Jones getting a lot of flack, dude could barely run with his hamstring. I give him credit for trying to play through the pain.
No team is overcoming the amount of injuries the Birds have had on D but they deserve credit they played with a ton of heart. Can't fault them for being tired they were on the field for almost one hour. The only injury that hasn't killed them is Barnett because Bennett's had a good year.
No idea why the offense is so bad in the first half. They're not aggressive. In the second quarter I turned to my buddy and said they might as well start launching it down the field because these little 2 yard passes and 1 yard runs are useless. Better to throw it 50 yards downfield, if it gets picked off it's a punt. Better than continuing to go 3 and out.
I thought it was good to get rid of Matthews Wentz's first year, Wentz had tunnel vision for him. Once he was gone he started spreading the ball. I know it's been discussed but he's done the same thing with Ertz. Wentz needs to get out of his comfort zone. That falls on Doug.
The O-line played much better in the second half, Wentz actually had a pocket to throw out of. He played much better.
7-9 puts them around 15th pick in the draft. Not a bad spot to be in. Ravens pick in the second round will probably be in the 47-50 range. They actually have a lot of cap space to clear once the season's over and the dead money isn't too bad. I know Wentz is gonna need to get paid but they have a little flexibility. Not sure what the FA market looks like but an LT needs to be a priority. I like Mailata's ceiling but not sure he gets close to it by next season. Graham's gone. Love the guy but he's over 30 and peaked. Unless he's willing to give a steep hometown discount I can't see him coming back. Not sure how serious Sweat's injury is (looked bad) I like him as a prospect moving forward. They need D line help in the draft, a playmaking WR, and a RB. The Goeddert pick baffled me last season. I don't think he's a bad pick and think the mentality was they were adding another weapon for a playoff run but that pick could have been more useful in other areas.
All in all tough year. You have a QB coming back from a major knee injury, way too many injuries in key areas, and the SB hangover. Still think the future looks bright moving forward.
Michael Bennett and Fletch were balling yesterday. Other than that I don't have much good things to say.
Agreed on Wentz's tunnel vision to Ertz. Especially in the red zone play yesterday where after they tried to run it with Smallwood (wtf on that play) and he goes to Ertz way short of the goal line.
The entire defense played their hearts out yesterday. They're just short on talent but you can't fault the effort. The offense is trash but again the effort wasn't bad, just the execution. I feel bad for Sidney Jones, though. He's going to be one of these guys who are always hurt. I would shelve him for the rest of the year and frankly I'd sit Wentz too. Let him go find Jesus's lost necklace or something.

i also like sweats promise....he needs another offseason of weight and muscle and i think he can be a beast...his ideal fit would be in a 3-4 but even in jj's scheme he has potential to be a really good edge rusher
* The taterskins-Giants game on Fox got a 14.0 rating in the DC market.
* The Eagles-Cowboys game, also on Fox, got a 19.8 rating in the DC market.
Ravens fans also like seeing the Eagles look bad, I guess.
