YES....its ON!
so for me a win is not a win in this game...eagles have to roll for me to be happy...what winning margin would make you content
+60 would do it for me. Until then, there's always a chance they might farg it up.
I need a two td spread minimum...and I fully expect a rout
Well - these aren't the shteinbag Jags that we've come to know over the last few years. I am thankful they are starting Henne and not Bortles though. Although I didn't think Bortles would show much he looks better than I expected.
Toby Gerhart is their top RB....no.
The Eagles should be able to attack their back seven...the front four is pretty good.
Give me a 14+ point win, please.
Eagles - 31
Jaguars - 13

ha...I was just talkin to sunny last week about how TG is his RB2 in fantasy
terrible
I mean he was good at Stanford and all but I just don't see him being a feature back in the NFL. He had some good moments filling in for AD but Caldwell and Gus overshot on signing him to be the guy.
Their receivers are not good...
Stuff Gerhart and force Henne and the AFL receivers to beat you
stuff gerhart?
how about pretend gerhart isn't there....if he is even 1% of their defensive gameplan then its time wasted
youd love to see a rout but the fact of the matter is the nfl is beyond watered down...the difference between the best team and the worst team aint much. last year seattle went to OT with the bucs at home and nearly lost to houston.
this isnt college. they just need to win.
seattle also routed denver in the superbowl homer

yea. they did that and nobody remembered or cared about their win margin in week 1 against jacksonvile
they beat jacksonville by 30
well, that settles in
unless the eagles win by 30, the season is over
not 30 necessarily...but you have to make a statement in the home opener and blast an awful team
Great... igs is setting us up for the loss. Thanks a lot, icehole.

With these Jags uniforms I'm trying to see if I can spot Al Pacino wearing a headset on their sideline.

Boo Foles.
Bring in Sanchez!

Season's over, put McCoy on IR before something happens to him.

oh yea! that
Think ol' igy is hitting the panic button as we speak.
Why does State Farm insist on having the worst commercials?
Stellar start fargo's
This game needs more Ertz.
wtf. What was that thing about Foles holds the ball longer than any other QB and needs to get it out faster?
Foles!! Throw the mother farging football you slow farging icehole
Igy's head may have just exploded Scanners-style.... :boom
At least the secondary is consistently bad all around.
well this is going well
Hahahahaha what the farg??
Foles holds the ball forever
And Undrafted rookie is eating their asses up
farg
very glad I sat Megatron and started Hurns today though
Chip already proving to be a better coach than Reid; quarterback's playing bad, run the ball instead.
well at least foles didnt fumble?
Still holding the ball forever and missing throws
Foles is straight trash today
I'm risking multiple viruses to watch this?
SANCHEZ SANCHEZ SANCHEZ!
Farg these bitches.
These announcers suck balls
Good defensive plan, too. If Nate Allen can't cover anyone, make him rush the passer. I'll take whatever positives I can find at this point.
lol
That was a lot of cuts to lose one yard. Get it together, offensive line. And Foles, too, you bastich.
Go Boykin.
Donny Jones MVP
Boykin is so good
Wow. Stop biting so farging hard on the double moves.
That great special teams play. Wasted by Cary Williams being awful.
Fletcher Cox just killed a man.
Fletcher Cox is a monster
Horse collar...ugh
Oh my god you're getting roasted by a farging Undrafted rookie
And now a horse collar
farg
That's not a farging horse collar! mother farger
That's a bad call
It's not a horse collar
Grabbing the collar isn't the penalty, pulling him down to snap his knees is.
it looks like one....at full speed thats gonna get called
meanwhile williams is getting burned
Season over?
Nope, not until McCoy goes into the locker room with a trainer. Post season's totally over, though.
That was no cut, he literally stood there until the defense ran by him.

Every year these clowns draw me in and every year they squat over my mouth and shtein down my throat.
I think we need to admit that Matt Barkley killed Foles, cut his face off and is wearing it as a mask.
Foles gonna have to keep one of these read options...Jags are overpersuing hard
Somehow that drive was worse than the ones that ended in fumbles.
I envy Dio right now.
So very very much,
well at least our mascot name isnt a racial slur
Was that just an NFL commercial with a gay couple?
Eagles run D looks solid. Too bad no team is ever going to have to run the ball against them.
O/U on TDs by Allen Hurns the rest of the season after this game: 1

You got 6'4 Celek being covered by a midget, you gotta put it up a little higher than that Foles
yea i mean nick foles....it just might not be his day
What can you say? He is farging awful
Simply farging awful
GJ Kinne would be better right now
Maybe try a run or two when you're that close. I don't know, call me crazy.
Even his last throw to maclin was forced and was lucky not to be picked
Look at this awful team just walk down the field against this bad defense.
This is as bad as Week 1 can get. Eagles getting blown out by Jags, fantasy team in tatters already, my stream of the Eagles game keeps crapping out...
Nice! FG block.
Offense needs to score here.
Cary Williams is good at things that aren't covering receivers. He should do just those things.
theyve actually had momentum opportunities....and have done nothing with them
theres another one. cant wait to see how foles fargs this up
I will settle for that farging shteinbag quarterback we have to not have a turnover
Baby steps
And now they take away the block credit from Williams. Turns out he's good for nothing.
Ugh, Mathis just got rolled up on the legs
Evan Mathis injured. Sure, why not, let's do that too.
So much for solidarity along the offensive line this year. Good thing the quarterback isn't a statue that holds on to the ball forever.
Foles is garbage
Holy farg
Hahahahaha now Barbre is hurt
They have no more OL
WOw...Jacksonville defender just got knocked out cold by the ground
Just call this game now before anyone else gets hurt on either team. And then don't dress McCoy for the rest of the year.
R.I.P. Cyprien
shtein ass game
Good job boys
Put Sanchez in
Hey, there's a nice little play Foles
Bring on the butt fumbler before Foles turns it over again and costs me more fantasy points.
WIP seems like it'll be civil this week
There's no way he wasn't down before that came out
I don't think the Eagles had four minutes of play on offense that went anywhere near this long last year.
even if his knee wasnt down, the ball hit mccoy when he was OOB. doesnt that make the ball dead?
Another zesty play by the quarterback
That one wasn't even Foles' fault....quick pass and the dline was already there
Jeff Maehl
Lol
Foles just Favre-ing it up at this point.
Foles is making horrible decisions and throws, the WRs can't get open, the line is getting killed. Other than that the passing game is great.

Unfortunately the only way this duct taped O-line is going to open up rushing lanes is when the Jags defense isn't set yet.
I am so not used to seeing defensive linemen who can tackle.
LETS GO. Heavy dose of Shady on this drive Chip, make it happen.
Darren Sproles, team MVP. Cut McCoy.
Sprolezzzzzzz
Nice return
Now don't farg it up, Foles
This Sproles guy is pretty shifty.
Sproles leading the charge. Can he play QB/DB/C?
Just take Foles out now. Sanchez might not hit receivers either, but he'll run or buttfumble.
lol McCoy is ridiculous. Baby Barry
That sure was a screen pass.
ERTZ!!
Ertz so good
lob passes over the middle are always good.
cant believe that worked
Can't really get the rally cap on until I see at least one good throw from Foles.

This defensive pressure is a novel thing. They should try it more often.
Brandon Graham found himself in the unusual situation of having a QB in his arms.
McCoy is too good for this awful team.
Baby Barry
I loved the audible "awww" after that move
zesty series
Chip seems a little predictable today...Jax D all over every play
"The Eagles are a great screen team."
Are they, Mr Announcer man? Are they?
some questionable play calling there...granted foles is awful but you cant play scared
OOOOF Brandon Graham doing useful things
Graham with two nice plays today
Brandon Graham, when did you learn to play football?
2 straight drives beginning at (or just short of) midfield with nothing to show for it. If they end up losing, right there was their chance.
Chip better make some more smoothies quickly.
This defense is going to have to come up with a turnover, which means a linebacker is probably going to need to make a pick. The DBs sure as hell aren't going to do it.
The Eagles' offense couldn't do anything with the ball at midfield, what the hell are they supposed to do with it at their own 12?

I think igy probably won't go with the "Chip Kelly is a gimmick college coach who the NFL has completely solved after one season" post he had planned at halftime. Still has the green light for the "Foles sucks" post though.
Again, Mathis getting hurt was by far the worst thing that happened in this game. Way more implications for the season than that garbage first half.
biggest thing for 2H was foles didnt turn the ball over and williams didnt get burned
otherwise they looked like the 8-8 team they might be.

On the other hand, at least we got a good answer for the biggest question going into the season ie how Chip was going to replace DeSean's production. We now know it is with other team's comically busted defensive coverages.
worst fears realized

i think he left at halftime.
basically foles was a tire fire in 1H and fairly solid in 2H so obviously THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING

Foles second fumble Maclin was open by 20 yards behind the D. Same play he scored on and Foles didn't find him.
I pretty much agree with igs. Tougher to see on TV, but other than a few plays where Matthews outran his coverage (and sometimes the ball), the WRs looked blanketed. Not counting total busted coverage like the Maclin TD.
yup....I have end zone seats up high so I see everything...im not excusing foles at all....he squeezed the ball like he wanted to rape it....but NO ONE could get open
no one could get open yet they dropped 27 points after a god awful 1H
yea i mean obviously theyd be better with pimp...but they still put up points kiddo
sproles run
complete busted coverage
defensive td
ertz
against jacksonvillolole
Meh I was sitting at 40 yd line in 2nd level. Receivers were open in the first half.
not even close....i watched them on every play
they were AWFUL all game
Find the all-22 later in the week and watch Foles second fumble and see if there's a jaguar within 20 yards of Maclin. Or Foles throwing behind Matthews. Or Foles the play after the 30 yd seam to Ertz where Maclin is alone on the sidelines for 5 seconds. I didn't see cooper open once. Thought Foles was missing people in the first half.
fine...once a WR might have been open
out of 85 plays
I'm not making excuses for the O. I thought they were awful despite the final numbers. OLine wasn't great. Too many sweeps / not enough north-south running. Receivers as a whole were meh and Foles was zesty. I have concerns about the O but thought it was at Foles feet this game. We'll see going forward.
the WR's coming in were the biggest concern and they still are...and im not even a big foles fan...but I have more faith in him than the bums they are running out wide in the offense...its embarrassing watching those three line up pre snap
I think Foles will be ok but was terrible today. Gus gameplanned well. The fake screens back to the other side were always covered. DLine won battles which made play action less effective etc.
Thought the front 7 on D was very good and good sign for Parkey to continue to nut up in that situation.
yeah parkey was the shining light of the game...ertz a close second
also as predicted after a year where no OL missed a game one went down right away
Quote from: ice grillin you on September 07, 2014, 06:54:44 PM

Two went down. Barbre farged up his ankle.
For me the line is the biggest concern. Trading in Mathis and Barbre for Molk and Gardner is a sizable downgrade.
I will be honest, when the second half started I was smoking a cig in the concourse talking to some girl about the colors of our pubic hair and was about to leave.
The sproles scored and I went back to my seat and that second half was one of the most fun I've ever been at.
How could you have possibly had fun? You must not have singly focused on the WRs every play.
Hahaha.
Threw on DVR when I got back. Blows my mind the replays coverage gives you sometimes. Second Foles fumble you can see Maclin running down field on the right waving his hands with no one in the screen (same busted coverage as the TD) and then commentators talk about Foles not having people open ignoring Maclin is legit WIDE open.
I expect them to play well next week. Best takeaway from today is the rest of the NFC east is probably as bad as expected.
Every single person in the stadium saw maclin open. Was a good 5 seconds. Same exact play he scored on later.
shut up all the receivers are horrible
Cooper is, at least.
I woke up early today with a massive hangover. I blame the Eagles. And my liver is a big fat Hoyda too.

newflash, its not limited to your liver.
getting in the lot waS brutal. Jr made us late and then came the parking fiasco - great job parking people.
1st 1/2 sucked. sitting in unfamiliar territory and the team ate a fleshpop. 2nd was awesome. I made some new friends.
every week, there is a guy in my office who pops his head in my office and tries to talk about the game...he says something, then says "I didn't watch it, but I heard..." and tries to talk about it. He just did it again...wtf
sounds like a tv commercial idea, sell it
mathews was open multiple times, maclin was wide open on the fumble like people have already said. cooper was completely covered. they played a lot of zone and ertz/celek should have had a lot more catches down the seams and in the middle of the field.
it's weird that the line blocked like shtein in the 1st half but in the 2nd half with 2 backups they looked good. part of it was Foles holding the ball but still. Jax defense is pretty good, not good enough to cause the issues they caused yesterday but they aren't the same old jags
They look like an 8 win team to me. The Jags, that is.
And holy shtein I am happy they won because sitting in this office after a loss would be the suck.
Still cant get over that Fletcher Cox penalty for a horsetackle. He just manhandled Gerhart, ragdolled him, and they immediately threw the flag based on teh way he went down. The ref crew was awful.
That was a bad call on Cox - but it is the NFL and that is par for the course now.
The amount of time that Foles was holding the ball was insane. The entire time I kept thinking how I couldn't wait for him to watch the film so he could see how downright awful he was.
i still can't believe how bad foles was in the first half. spitting image of dallas last year. when you have girls in the stands yelling about open receivers, something is wrong. hopefully it's a one time thing like last year.
Yeah I said to my buddy that it was a mirror image of the home Dallas game....hopefully when he sees the film he can correct the whole taking a nap while in the pocket thing.
speaking of fletcher - his fumble recovery td lost me $100 but whatever. agreed, that call on him was brutal.
I didn't have a problem with the horse collar call. Obviously replay showed that it wasn't, but at full speed it certainly looked like it was. Can't really blame the refs for calling that.
Definitely wouldn't mind it if refs could take a 2nd look on p/f calls like that.
One big play that ended up not being as big because of the final score was the 2nd play of the 4th quarter. The eagles had a couple of stalled drives after their 2nd touchdown. They had 3rd and 7 and mathews caught a pass and made a nice little move to pick up the first down. That was the drive that Parkey hit the 51 yard fg to tie it up. It was good poise by Mathews to know he had to get the 1st.

basically
its fine for the refs to be cautionary on the PF calls, but theres gotta be a way to challenge them or something.
70,000 people booing a zesty call is nothing new for the NFL.
They won't ever change, though. Why would they?
If more things were able to be challenged teams would lose both of them in the first quarter on 50 yard PI calls.

Holy shtein that was infuriating watching that. He does understand that the Jaguars are an NFL team and do have players that can rush the QB? Bad things usually happen when you hold on to the ball for 10 seconds.
Now he does, sure.
His issue, I think, is that he wants to wait for guys to be wide open most of the time. He's not willing to push the ball into a tight window. That helps explain the low INTs last year. So if he doesn't see that wide ass open dude he's holding the rock
I don't even know if that's true though. That was the explanation for why Cooper got better with Foles -- that he trusted him more while Vick waited until someone was wide open. He just didn't look comfortable at all.

thats so true....i mean really think about how many times youve seen him throw a ball in a tight spot....and i don't even mean firing a rocket into a tiny window...im talking about even touch passes where a guy is covered well...like where you need to lay the ball out over the top to a moving wr
its not many

I think in intermediate routes that's probably right but he chucked a few up last year downfield into iffy coverage with Cooper and a few with Jackson.
He sure as hell had no problems throwing that awful pass up in the endzone.

hes done it of course....i more meant hes not very good at completing them...hes made a couple nice seam throws to covered te's...that's by far his best throw against good coverage...but overall he badly needs chip to get people loose to be successful and even more so this year without pimp who was the only wr on the team able to get himself open

that's cool
it was cool to watch three minutes of nonsense so you could not see the linc at the end?
yes.
People breaking down tape saying WRs wide open all day and Foles kept missing them (at least Kapadia agrees with that assessment as well after seeing tape). Hope he plays better Monday.

people have trouble understanding a wr being open and getting open
mack was obviously open on the touchdown but he didnt get open
watch the wr's off the line of scrimmage and tell me how many times they beat coverage
you keep obsessing over this...how many teams have an amazing group of wide outs who "get" open all the time?

you don't need to be open every time....but for example in the first half an eagle wr got open anywhere btwn 3-5 times...a couple were judgement calls...against effin jacksonville...im scared when they go against a good defense
its been repeated again and again but obviously chip relies on his system to get people open...he schemed people open and Jacksonville blew coverage a few other times (not nearly as many as people think tho) that should have been big plays ...maybe that wins them a superbowl....but I don't believe it....I think chips system with a great wr or two is the way to go

wouldn't have been so bad if I just skipped to the end...but I was all hyped to see down into the stadium from above so I figured I go for the whole ride....NOPE
So the offense would be more productive with Jerry Rice and Megatron?
I need to see the math.

worst flyover ever.
LOL - that video was awful. I'm surprised that cheap farger didn't hire the Rickenbacker Barrel Roll Demo Team instead.
Christ...
Flyovers are about as exciting as the parachute gimmick. Next.
I watched the replay last night. Was pretty zesty at the game. Foles worst game hands down. Matthews was impressive although you wouldn't know it from the box score. Easily could have had 100 yards receiving and a td if Foles wasn't so bad.
His first half was putrid but his second half was pretty good, dude. No chance a game in which he throws for 322 and 2 touchdowns is worse than the Dallas fiasco last season or any number of a handful of games he played in his rookie year.
His second half was equally awful. Take the TD pass to Maclin away which any QB could make and his stats are pedestrian. He was missing guys who were wide open and he's lucky he didn't throw more INTs. I'm hoping he just needs a few games under his belt because if this is him for the rest of the season the Eagles are in trouble.
here's a great breakdown of how bad foles was in missing open receivers.
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phillymag.com%2Fbirds247%2F2014%2F09%2F10%2F22-saw-foles-week-1%2F&h=LAQFSC7mM
matthews was running loose like five differnt times down the middle of the field thru the jags zone...it was ridiculous how jacksonville players would just let him go because he was out of their area and no one would cover up....you could tell that gus tried to implement a zone defense during the week which is much different than his aggressive attacking defense that uses press man coverage and the players just werent used to it
but mack and kkk combined were open down the field maybe twice all game
I really thought Foles had screwed his knee up when it hyperextended. He really seemed to favor it for a good portion of the game. All in all, he looked like the Foles from the Cowboys game, though i thought he calmed down by the 4th. He still threw for 323.

Yep. I'm not incredibly worried but it basically confirms what I thought watching live & they have a pretty good still pic of that play we were talking about earlier when Foles fumbled and Maclin was wiiiide open.
I thought calling some quicker-hit plays earlier in the game would have helped get that sense of rhythm going quicker, but despite the early struggle, I'm still pretty confident that Foles is going to have a good year (provided we don't run out of bodies on the Oline).
right on schedule, brandon graham in his contract year. his toby gerhart hit and this one
(http://bloggingthebeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Graham.gif)
still, gotta love it. graham used to work out with that guy
QuoteThomas worked out with Graham during the offseason, and Graham thought he should have known better than to run at him. "He know," said Graham. "I don't know why he did that, because he seen me lift every day. He seen me work. I don't know what's wrong with him.
lol I missed that during the game
I hope Graham has a good season - I root for him

I'll agree he wasn't as good as he can be but he wasn't awful in the second half. He threw for a 60% completion rating. Yeah he was missing guys but he wasn't putrid.
