Taking on Ryan Fitzpatrick after 10 days of preparation and recovery.
I like their odds.
eagles are 3 point faves
beware of the home dog
covering your bases in both threads?
someone has to

yeah whatever....he'll play
Foles starting.
Bucs put one of their starting DBs on IR (Hargreaves). The other (Grimes) is gimpy from a groin injury that kept him out last week, and may not play. DeSean may not play (Concussion, shoulder). Jason Pierre-Paul is wearing a knee brace, talking about not knowing if he'll play.
None of that matters because Fitzmagic is real.
Sproles is out with a hamstring injury. Alshon and Carson won't play either.
More Corey Clement is a good thing.
I sure hope the TEs show up to play this week.
Grimes is out, so the Eagles WRs will face backup DBs. DeSean and JPP returned to practice, so looks like they'll both probably play even though they're listed questionable.
seems fair since eagles basically have back up wr's and of course qb
It's gonna be a stadium takeover day
Inactives ( no surprises)
Eagles inactives:
WR Alshon Jeffery
T Jordan Mailata
G Matt Pryor
RB Darren Sproles
DE Josh Sweat
G Chance Warmack
QB Carson Wentz
Sad looking crowd if you're a Bucs fan, but a great crowd if you're a fan of Christmas colors.
Great, the offense is going to see the field much sooner than I thought they would.
Pimp TD on first play, 3 and out, Peters and Ajayi injured. Great start.
This game is not starting well.

Oh goodie. More penalties. This is completely ridiculous.
Going backwards and losing players on every play.
This team's going to have a real hard time going 19-0 if they keep losing in week 2.
Football is just hard to watch these days. There's no flow with all the injuries and flags.
So Cameron Johnston is good
Are there any Bucs fans there? Christ, quiet as shtein when birds have the ball.
Team is totally out of sync.
Nice Foles is gonna have wind burn from sick runs like that.
Jason Peters hurt? Shocking, thought he'd make it at least three weeks.
That's a fumble.
That was nice. And also lucky.
Typical game against these farging shteinbags.

Yup....it's a travesty and why I barely watch anything but birds
Well it took Big V 15 weeks to gel last season so lets all be patient.
Oh farg us all Rhonde. He's the worst.
No receivers who can get open, top 2 RBs on the depth chart injured, Vaitai giving DEs a free ticket to Foles. Should be a productive day on offense.
It's cool when four guys can't tackle a single receiver.

Yep, so far keeping with tradition
Nick Foles handing off to smallwood and throwing to Kamar Aiken and Shelton Gibson. :yay
so kamar aiken is their best skill pos guy left?
Ertz has to have the lowest yards after contact in the league
I wish they'd drafted a TE after all three of them went away.
Bow Allen's going to kill Nick Feauls.
Who's perkins? He sucks
Nice, give us some hope
Big V!
After all this mess, they're tied. The Buccaneers must suck.
great sign joshua perkins is getting more targets than goddirt
Well coached drive. They are finding the leaks in that defense that can be exploited without having any real skill players.
woooow
Fitzmagic is real and it is powerful.
the farg was that
ron darby not about that life
Malcolm Jenkins has quietly been a disaster in this game. Can't win em all, I guess.
We are all in agreement this secondary sucks correct? Howard jogged through 90% of that. Great coverage by Hicks (he said Bradham but it looked like Hicks) but WTF? No one from the secondary could touch this guy?
Oh and Ertz, take notice how it actually helps to stay upright and take a few steps after you catch the ball instead of immediately diving/leaping/rolling into the turf.

Ertz is one of the slowest guys on the field, including the linemen. Never gonna be a YAC guy.
"Hi Josh, Dez, can you be at the NovaCare Complex in the morning?"
Pimp looks a lot bigger. He looked tiny on the birds.
Quote from: Don Ho on September 16, 2018, 02:20:03 PM
"Hi Josh, Dez, can you be at the NovaCare Complex in the morning?"
Josh would say yes and never show up.
Dez would show but there would already be a DB blanketing him.
n/a
It turns out that you need to cover receivers in the endzone when you're playing someone besides the Falcons.
Thought they were supposed to blow offsides plays dead this year.
This is just stupid. 300 yards through the air in one half is almost impossible to believe. They get the ball in the second half, though.

That'll give the defense about a two minute break.
Deep Threat Zach Ertz?
Some days you get the bull...
That'll teach them to not kick it from the logo.
have a feeling they arent winning
They need to give Fitz his new contract right now so the he'll start being terrible again.
Words can't express how happy I am that I didn't go to this shteinshow.

I looked, but really didn't have the extra $200-300+ to spend. Never been happier to be broke in my life!
I want to see if they're going to panic and rush Wentz back for next week.
I guess I'm Chris Collinsworth now, because I don't know what counts as a catch anymore.
Seriously, has Ertz ever broken a tackle?
Wasn't a fan of going for it there. Seemed like Doug trying to be the public image of Doug.
Two straight plays where challenges would have worked and Doug keeps the flag holstered.

The game's over either way, no point in not going for it.
This is fine, Cox doesn't need working legs. Everything's fine.
This entire team has totally checked out.
Merrill Reese needs to be put out to pasture. I can't even follow what's happening anymore listening to him. He gets the players wrong every play. Calls interceptions completions. Misstates first downs.
Once again this secondary sucks. Matt Ryan's brain farts last week made them look great but they are pathetic.
NFC mix
Green Bay Tampa IN
eagles saints OUT
Sea Biscuits bro at Raymond James Sauna watching this shtein show.
Congratulations to Ryan Fitzpatrick for setting back yet another franchise several years.
Are we sure this guy won a Super Bowl?
Well at least we won't have to worry about Jim Schwartz getting any head coaching offers anytime soon.
I can't believe Trey Burton was the heart and soul of this team and they just let him walk.
kind of amazing they beat the falcons
in Foles defense he is working with the JV call ups at WR.
I have a host of Bucs fans here running their cum dumpsters. I haven't said a word yet. I just remove my Super Bowl Champions hat and show it to them. No words nececessary, bitches.
Ronde: we know Jameis Winston is the future of this franchise.
We do?
I know it's been only 7 quarters into the season but has Michael Bennett done a damn thing yet? I do see Ngata all over the place causing havoc with his huge frame but haven't seen a lot of Bennett.
More Clement please
I'm still not used to the idea of Agholor being good.
need a play to pull this off...turnover, special teams, broken offensive
aint gonna be stop-drive-stop-drive
That was nice. Gonna suck when another long TD Fitzmagics out of nowhere though.
Good God, Mike Evans has more talent on his pinky finger than the entire birds receiving corps. Guy is pure beast.
HEY! Michael Bennett!!
The comeback is real!

Jesus farg defense! Wake the hell up. This is a farging sewer. Does Darby even want to be out there?
Thanks for the gift Evans.
Damnit Ertz, STAY UPRIGHT!
Who is worse, Smallwood or the WRs on the field not named Agholor?
That was clownshoes and the only two players actually trying on offense died for it.
There goes the last two good offensive players.
Someone has to make a play on offense. No bullshtein excuses. Just make a farging play.
why is nick running around looking for the perfect wide open receiver on 4th and ten
three and out? Wow.
Quote from: ice grillin you on September 16, 2018, 03:45:56 PM

Because Ertz was triple teamed and the other 4 couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag.
Nice catch Clay Aiken!
Aiken, Perkins, bring it on bitches.
While were young Doug!
Holy shtein what a throw and catch there
What a throw is right!
Explain the lack of urgency there? How much farging time did they waste?
Nelson Probowlhor.
high level throw by the mvp
Quote from: Don Ho on September 16, 2018, 03:56:36 PM

They got three timeouts, they need a stop anyway. I'm okay with how much time they left. A total steal if they even have a chance to win this one.
Thanks for the free time out pimp
horrible decision to call the to here...now the bucs have the entire playbook
eat the 19 seconds, use the 2 min, they have to run on 3rd

Is Sydney Jones going to ever be a player because Mills is pure shtein.

to be fair this is something across the board coaches do...and the bucs maybe pass on 3rd anyway minus side of 2 mins...but its less likely
not sure if a player can have a worse game than jalen Mills had today
the only way the eagles can win is a punt return and they kick it right to Corey
just unbelievably dumb
I expected 1-1, just not like this.
My main reaction to this game is wondering how JP is holding up.

They never did say anything about his status did they?
I had a Fat Andy/Puker flashback on that TD drive.
Mills was really bad. What was that guys name they drafted in the 2nd round?
Not panicking. We won't know who this team is until a few weeks from now. Move on.

Maddox. But I think they'd move Jones out there and put either Mills or Maddox in the slot.
However, the fact that they've chosen the current starters for the last two games isn't really encouraging about what we might expect from such a change.
Agholor was really good. Bradham played his ass off. The punter was terrific. I mean it wasn't all bad. Just a tough loss to a team on the road they should have and would have handled with a full complement.
I was talking about Goedert :-D
Quote from: Rome on September 16, 2018, 04:32:28 PM
The punter was terrific.
At some point I should learn his name but this roided out punter is giving the Seahawks guy a run for his money.
Quote from: AO1 on September 16, 2018, 04:33:46 PM

Did he even play? Not a good sign that Doug was going with 11 personnel when his WRs minus Ags are camp bodies who shouldn't be in the NFL anymore.
Yeah, where was Goedert today?
He must have skipped a team meeting or some shtein to be replaced by Perkins.
I saw him in on goal line on a few plays. They used Perkins a lot, not really sure why...he's not a great blocker either.
That bobble that turned into an INT last week might have bought him some bench time
Quote from: AO1 on September 16, 2018, 04:44:23 PM

Harsh, if that's what it was. It was his first game at NFL speed and I thought he played well overall for a brand new TE.
I think Doug is pulling a "freshmen don't play" thing with Goeddert. There's no other reason for him not to be out there.
the only solution is to trade a 1st for josh gordon
Week 2 last year:
- Touchdown loss on the road
- Opposing QB was a pedestrian vet suddenly lighting the world on fire
- Opposing team was a shock winner Week 1 against a powerhouse team
- Elliot missed a FG
- Offense was total dogshtein in the first half
- Starting RB didn't do shtein
- Jalen Mills farging sucked (Maybe not much of a coincidence)
- Game came down to low % play cause the Eagles offense didn't have enough time left
Any other similarities I'm missing here?
I'm drunk as farg. Not a coincidence. Providence.
And Jameson Special Reserve.
offense putting together 5 drives (remember you had a missed fg and another t/d that couldve been a long fg) with banged up slop and a backup qb is pretty decent.
cant figure mills and darby will be THAT bad going forward. that was the game. if you told me before the game the offense would get to 20 id say NICE.
im not worried. theyre a good team. what the first part of the year is going to do is take them out of the 1/2 seed running. so theyll have to win in minny or gb or la to get back. repeating is tough.
I missed out on the last two minutes because of errands, but it sounds like it went how I thought it would. The Fitzmagic Cycle can not be interrupted.

Wow, that is good. Similarities are frightening.
goddirt was not only passed by JOSH PERKINS on the depth chart, he was lapped
of course we all remember how little that rookie corey clement played last year so
Mailata was custom made for that last play.
Disgusting game
Everyone, except for Mills, Jenkins and Schwartz obviously, knew they were opening up with a shot to Pimp.
Playing in Tampa is always a nightmare.
Howie better get some WR help in here.
Oh and yeah, the fact that Perkins has passed Goeddert is concerning.
