They started with a... run. :o
FOX returned from commercial and Baldinger said to Stockton "Look....I'm not Hubie Brown" :-D
eagles got the ball first? what happened? i missed the first drive waiting for sopcast to pick up the game.
After a couple of runs netted a first down, the Eagles stalled. Nothing much.
NICE catch by Reggie Brown while getting hit.

now if they only learn to convert red zone opportunities.

wish i had the game log play by play...but i think it was 2-4 (?) straight runs and a first down or two? what does farging andy reid do? pass pass pass punt.
our i formation is looking good, but then we go into shotgun and...i just don't understand what goes on in andy reids head
nice "jump" mistackle by considine in open field on moose
Hey offense, the objective of the game is to get the ball in the endzone, not the red zone.
horrible throw by mcnabb.
it should be 21-3.

They still had time and a time out left. Not sure why they didn't work on getting the first down there.
That said, Schobel was open. McNabb just missed him.
I like that Hester isn't getting near the ball, but damn, kick it further than 30 yards...
mediocre first half from a mediocre team
I don't know, Ed... on a couple of those pooch kicks, the Eagles ST were keeping the Bears deeper than we usually see them.
I can't help but think that the Eagles had their shots in the first half, and the Bears are a team ready to explode.
Then again, the Bears have been good for the first half, just to get torched in the second, several times this season.
Overall, 'tis better to be up 9-3 than down 9-3. It's just frustrating to see Brown drop a sure TD, then McNabb miss an open Schobel twice on the same red zone debacle.
I'm sure that first half will make all the highlight reels.
Kearse down again
Sack wiped out by defensive holding
(_*@#(_@#(*_(_@#
THAT'S A CRAP CALL. :boom
Another f'ing 3rd down converted
Spent most of the second quarter watching the Eagles with my baby daughter sleeping on my chest.
Life is good.
TERRIBLE call on the Defensive holding on Will James. Not only takes away Killa's sack on 3rd down, but now they're going to end up with at least 3 farging points.
Pure bullshtein.
Yes, a crap call, but man the Eagles are letting Chicago convert everything.
3rd and goal, and it seems inevitable.
EDIT: Fortunately, the Bears are nearly as incompetent as the Eagles.
Let off the hook by a Griese fumble of the snap, but why the farg is Darren Howard playing DT on the goal line D?

No doubt, but the good teams would nut it up and get them the next time. After all, this isn't the Patriots on the field, it's Brian F. Griese.
But, then again, this is the Eagles this season. Textbook definition of mediocre.
back to passing non stop now.
In the bizarro world that is this season, the Eagles' run defense has been solid today. Its pass defense... not so much.

pass defense has not been horrible either. if the offense even scores 1 TD out of the 3 redzone trips it might be a diff game.
And if the Bears weren't as abhorrent as the Eagles, it could be the same the other way.
Third down defense has been horrendous.

it doesnt help that both lito and sheldon have missed a sack each on a blitz.
Tie game. Yawn.
Don't forget, the Bears' kicker missed a 39-yarder as well.
Total. Suckitide.
Hey Reid: GIVE. IT. TO. WESTBROOK.
Forget the score, this game is boring as hell, at least on the radio. I'm almost glad I don't have it on TV.
Two sacks on that three and out. Bears get the ball at midfield because Rocca tries to kick away from Hester.
Any doubt where this game is heading?

and they get the ball midfield.
retarded play calling yet again. going out of shotgun...at least run out of a normal formation and the D might think you might run.
and oh yeah lets run westbrook on a 2nd and 18.

What the farg are the officials doing?
TV announcers made a pretty good explanation. Since the ball didn't actually go to the QB (squibbed to the left), by rule it's a false start.
Bears catching all the breaks today. And on top of that, the Eagles suck hard.
Dallas scored 31 against Chicago in the 2nd half.
Detriot scored 34 against Chicago in the 4th quarter.
The Eagles? A total of 21 yards. :-D
FG hits the upright and goes through
12-9 Bears :boom
all the breaks going there way...so no doubt in my mind mcnabb throws a INT this upcoming drive.
the offense at least in the first half was moving the ball.

That certainly beats watching the first three quarters of this game.
OMG DARREN HOWARD SACK
The Eagles had nearly a balanced offensive attack before that last drive. The TD drive totally unbalanced the game in favor of the pass. Can't really bitch about it though, unless they come out passing this drive too.
need a couple first downs here pretty bad
Trying to run out the clock... HA! NEVER! PASS MORE!!
So I heard Jim Johnson likes to blitz from all over the place...
OMG DONOVON RUNS FOR THE FIRST DOWN!
Hmm, I guess I'm not missing too much this game. At least 32 passes, 22 rushes... still off. And they actually scored a TD... shocking.
And they're still throwing too much. If I was McNabb I'd start a mutiny, this is craziness.
Quote from: TexasEagle on October 21, 2007, 06:59:58 PM

Like I said above, the attack was balanced throughout almost the whole game. When they unbalanced it, they got a TD out of it. So tough to complain about the ratio this week.
The offense was balanced the first three quarters. It sucked, but it was balanced.
That last drive (the one for the TD) made it askew.
Those officials are really breaking balls today.
Chicago needs 7 here. Sonofa... :boom
they had 1 possession in the 3rd so its not like they did much in the 3rd. maybe if they didn't just pass on that 1 possession in the 3rd and actually ran....they could have controlled the ball more and stopped chicago from getting back on the field.

Well, Chicago's TOP was doubled by that phantom holding call.
Look out for Hester.
Nice punt by Rocca. Chicago's ball on their 6.
Then Avant cops a feel on the line judge.

still the eagles can not control that. what they could have controlled was the play calling. i mean its getting super tiring now but they called somewhat of a balanced attack in the first and in the 3rd with that drive i felt like they reverted...or wanted to revert.
Still way too much time for my liking...

But we also don't know what the Eagles would have done with that next posession. Would they have gone three passes and out? Very possible - it is Andy Reid. We don't know for certain, though.
97 yards... they've gone about 82.
Sounds like a bad situation here.
Brian farging Griese is doing this??>
This team sucks... blow them the farg up. 94 yards in a little over a minute. Awesomeness... :boo
Refs miss the hold calls on the Bears, Bears win.
Where's the holding call on that? Cole was dragged down right in front of Griese.
Time for the Flyers. This season's over
farg this team.
Does it matter? They couldn't stop them from going 90+ yards in under 2 minutes.
Oh yeah... SEASON OVER! FIRE REID!
the rest of the division being what it is....season over
Fittingly, the game ends on a wormburner. :boom
Eagles lose, the rest of the NFC East wins. Season officially over.
farging AIDS on a stick. Jesus Christ.
what happened to the blitz? prevent defense has never worked ever.
Mmmm that was awesome....That last play looked like a terrible attempt at a hook and lateral...We'll never see how it would have worked because McNabb can't even throw the ball straight.
They farging suck!
The suck is obvious. The question is what do they do going forward?
Reporter: "Will you admit this team is in trouble right now?"
Reid: "Next question..."
All game long you heard from the announcers how great JJ's D was, they looked spectacular on that last drive when the Bears went 94 friggen' yards.
Greg Lewis fumbles, again. He should never ever return another kick.
The last play pretty much summed up McNabb's performance.
This team is done, and I don't look forward to seeing them get annihilated by the Cowboys and Giants.
What other ways can this team invent to lose?
wait so now the season over?
Well, they haven't gotten totally blown out yet.
But that will be coming with both Dallas and New England looming on the schedule.

The 99-0 loss to the Patriots will be new...
Both Manning and Romo are playing way better than McNabb.
The Red Zone offense of this team is awful. They flat out suck, and 16 points won't be half enough to beat any team in the NFC East.

most qbs can do that with a 3 man line and no pressure. the eagles dont even get any pressure with a regular 4 man front so what in the world were they thinking? a 3 man rush that doesnt get pressure and all day to griese to find guys like hester, barrian, and moose.
Unbelievable.
Did it ever occur to JJ to STOP blitzing the corners & safeties as Griese was eating up that right sideline?
No DBs to protect the sideline = open area to run out and stop the clock.

Fire the entire offensive coaching staff, 3 mins left, the lead the ball and we are throwing at will. It made me sick
They flashed up a stat late in the game - roughly the same number of plays as the Bears. Roughly the same number of yards as the Bears. Yet there was a > 10 minute difference in time of possession. Just pathetic.

The first one that showed the Bears with 40 minutes time of possession was a mistake. The second one they showed both teams were t.o.p. was fairly even.
Ok - I had the sound off because I was watching split-screen with Elmo. The man of the house is 3' tall and wears size 2T.
4-12! 4-12! 4-12! Still think I was wrong?
Reid is the stupidest muther-farger there ever farging was, and continued to prove it today. Protecting a lead, when the offense did nothing all day, and he's farging throwing the farging cock-sucking ball with 3 min left. And I still believed the stupid assfarger would pull it out. Then the defence shat the bed. Beautiful. You know, if the piece of shtein had just called running plays every time on that last drive, chances are, they'd've run out of time before scoring the game winning TD. Just a thought, you fargING MORON!

red zone inepitude was at it's seasons best. Third and most of the fourth quarter were an offensive mess. Bears pushed around on both sides of the ball in the second half.
97 yards in two minutes. laughable. I am honestly scared shteinless that the Cowboys and Patriots will score 56+ on us.
Quite simply, the Patriots will score as many points against the Eagles as they want to.

As if anyone needed any more ammunition to fire Reid, none of the Eagles coaches know the farging rules.

NFL Explains Griese False Start Penalty
Art McNalley, the NFL representative for officials, explains the false start penalty called on Chicago Bears quarterback Brian Griese with 13:23 remaining in the game. On a 1st-and-10 from midfield, Griese lined up under center to take the snap from Olin Kreutz. The ball flew past Griese and was scooped up by strong safety Sean Considine. However, the referees ruled the play dead claiming that it was a false start penalty and not a fumble.
Can you clarify the false start penalty on the snap that wasn't handled by Bears quarterback Brian Griese? "If the ball is snapped in between the quarterback's legs, he has to be the one to get the ball. Under these circumstances, it has to be ruled a false start. If he's in shotgun and the pass is snapped over his head, clean play, pick it up, go ahead and go the other way, everything's fine. The fact that he's taking the snap direct from the center, goes through his legs, he's got to kill it right away, false start."
What is the intent of the rule? "I don't know what the intent of the rule is, but the ball has to be taken by the quarterback. If he doesn't handle the snap, then it's got to be a false start."
If the quarterback makes contact with the ball, is it then ruled a fumble or is it still a false start? "All I know is if the quarterback doesn't handle the snap, it's a false start."
So once the quarterback has possession, he can lose it, but the key point is that he never handled the snap? "That would be a fumble. Once he has possession."
Is this a new rule or new interpretation? "No, not at all."
The ball never went through his legs, it clearly went to Griese's left. As weird as that play is an NFL coach should know the rule book inside and out.

now you're asking way to much. that was a weird play.
farg that, I hate Reid and any little thing I can find to hate him more is icing on the cake. FYI the rule is that its a false start and you can't challenge a false start - so its more the refs fault. But farg that, I'm still blaming Reid.
i didn't read any of this, and i'm sure what i'm about to say has been said over and over, but the entire coaching staff needs to be fired.
Reid and Marty for passing the ball under 3 minutes to go when the Bears only had 1 timeout left, passing the ball on 2nd and 3, and 3rd and 3
Jim Johnson for playing prevent defense with Jevon farging Kearse at the middle linebacker....what the farg was that, WHAT THE farg WAS THAT?

To get stupid fargs to lose their money... must be working.
I watched the game yesterday with two buddies: a Philly fan and a Chicago fan. The Philly fan happily bet on the Eagles with the Bears fan, AND gave him the 5 points.
(Case in point. And no, the Philly fan wasn't me. I don't bet on my own team, especially when I don't think it's a smart bet.)
You have a dumb motherfarging friend. How any Eagles fan can be confident enough to put any money on this team to win a game is beyond me.
Oh yeah... not only did the Eagles allow Brian farging Griese to drive 97 yards for the GW score... Griese did it by calling the plays his own plays because the radio in his helmet was out.
Brian farging Griese outcoached Jim Johnson and all his crazy angle blitzes.
EDIT: Kill JJ (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/bucky_brooks/10/21/week7/1.html)
QuoteThe Bears' winning 97-yard drive was aided by Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson's decision to sit in zone coverage after using a high-pressure approach to slow the Bears for most of the game. By sitting in a mixture of two-deep and quarters' coverage, the Eagles allowed Brian Griese to find open receivers over the middle of the field on his three biggest completions on the drive. And the winning touchdown to Muhsin Muhammad came against a combination zone coverage that left an overmatched Sean Considine isolated over the middle. Johnson's decision to scale back his aggressive approach cost the Eagles a victory.

is that what its come too...people being happy that players arent farging up...its insane...the fans deserve more than that....they deserve players that go out and make plays not players that arent as bad as we thought...i was sickened numerous times in the game when i saw chris gocong and sean considine combining on tackles...its a travesty how far the talent base has fallen on this team...you can get by with having horrible coaching if the talent level is high....but when you combine bad coaching with weak talent this is what you get

You have a dumb motherfarging friend. How any Eagles fan can be confident enough to put any money on this team to win a game is beyond me.
In all fairness, it's a friend that $20 means absolutely nothing to.

Reid and Marty for passing the ball under 3 minutes to go when the Bears only had 1 timeout left, passing the ball on 2nd and 3, and 3rd and 3
Not that I am defending the overall coaching...but i don't think this happened that way. The only 3rd and short passes was a first down to Celek right before the TD, and a 23 yard reception to curtis on the same drive.

I get ya... but I'll assume that your friend got to that point by
not throwing his money away.
I mean... I can lose a 20 or two myself without really hurting but I still hate losing a bet.
We can all agree that the Eagles right about now... if nothing else... are a losing bet.
there was a drive in the first half where westbrook broke off for eight or nine yards and they had a 3rd and real short and they threw out of the shot gun...there was also several 3rd and 3/4's where they passed...
11 passes 6 runs in the 4th quarter
the amazing thing too about a lot of the passes on should be running downs was that they would inexplicably go into the shotgun with westbrook split out...not even giving the appearance that they might run the ball...i know you cant run the ball 30 straight times to run out a clock...but why were they constantly going into the shotgun as if they were down 21
Because the coaches are farging clowns. Which we already knew.

True, but even back when he had less money, he probably made similar bets for $5.... still roughly $4.99 more than I would have put on the Eagles covering yesterday.
we all know we lost cause of the playcalling, but the ref's had some really bad calls yesterday. mcnabb also was unstellar. he had schobel twice in or close to the endzone. still being a coach and watching your QB's performance. you'd think he would adjust his playcalling. nope. AIDS
Watching Donovan (almost) scramble for that first down yesterday was painful. Five years ago he would have turned upfield and left Bears players' jocks littered all over the field. Now he limps along like an old man looking for his cane.
Sad.
mcnabb was brutally inaccurate on way to many throws...but reggie baby oil hands brown didnt help him either by dropping that goal line throw
i defended that guy all last year with the drops because he was also consistently getting in the end zone....there is no more defense for him...zero touchdowns this year
the weaponry on the offense is a complete joke...when kevin curtis is your best wr youre in big big trouble...even worse might be the fact that jason avant is their 3rd wr
It was good to see mcnabb get back to strong-arming 3-yard passes at his receivers' feet. I really missed that.
I didn't think they'd miss LJ that much, but they've been brutal without him
Quote from: BigEd76 on October 22, 2007, 10:53:16 AM
I thought theyd miss donte stallworth a lot they've been brutal without him
there ya go
i still don't know why the Eagles were playing a 3 man line with Jevon Kearse playing the middle of the field on the last drive...that was incredible
not only was kearse playing middle linebacker but trent cole wasnt in the game for all or much of that final drive...and to my knowledge he wasnt hurt
like i was saying last night once you put kearse at mlb in pretty much what is the ultimate sack situation then youre admitting to the world that the guy is done and you may as well just cut him today

Not sure I agree with that. Avant is one of the very few I wouldn't have put down at this point. Dude was never supposed to be able to wow with his game breaking ability.
i think helen keller could out coach reid at this point.
between his personel blunders and his coaching screw ups this team now struggles to score 16 points.
how considine, the weakest link in the secondary, gets awarded the job to cover muhammed, Bears number 1 receiver, is a god damn joke
it was a zone
they also ran muhammed right at considine....it wasnt like he got assigned to him...the bears clearly were out to expose him and they did just that
another coaching failure to add

Cmon, they were out to expose him? Yeah, because Moham was clearly exposing him the whole game.
The whole defensive scheme on the last drive was f-ed up. They were giving 20+ yards a shot because the defense doesnt know how to play zone contain. Its hardly all Considines fault, for Moham was just another receiver that found just another opening on 97 yards of trash zone defense
jim johnson is a joke and should be shot for that drive
Meh, I blame Takeo Spikes. He's been an albatross to every team he's ever been on.
Just kidding. Murder Reid, his whole family and coaching staff, and the entire front office.
Quote from: ice grillin you on October 22, 2007, 10:45:05 AMi defended that guy all last year with the drops because he was also consistently getting in the end zone..
iirc, you defended him on the the grounds that drops are not a credible stat; that he wasn't as bad as the numbers people reported and discussed. No part of your defense at the time had anything to do with "he's getting in the end zone."
Perhaps I'm mistaken.
this whole coaching staff never changes anything. on offense reid still runs the same offense a he did from when b4 he had owens, when he had owens, and now after owens/stallworth are gone. on defense jj runs the same all out blitz but rarely get to the qb defense, or the 4 man front thats speedy as hell but cant cause any pressure, or the prevent defense when pressuring the qb matters most. STs has been stuck in a rut as well ever since b mitchelle left and reed showed promise but got hurt.

they arent a credible stat because they are way to subjective...to many things go into a drop...if a ball hits a guys hands and he gets destroyed by a safety youll have one philosophy that says if it hits your hands you should catch it and another that says great play by the db
same with an overthrown ball...when does it go from a drop to a badly thrown ball...its a fine line and i dont believe drops should be a tracked statistic
at the same time there is such a thing as a drop...and last year he dropped a couple balls on outs and 15 yards over the middle at the 40 yard line...i can excuse stuff like that when you score 8 touchdowns and are being a playmaker...but when you start dropping touchdown passes and have zero touchdowns and 17 catches in six games then drops become inexcusable
Brian Baldinger was on DNL today and was killing the Eagles for the condition of the field...something I've been saying for years.

I still can't get over that flock of birds that would move from endzone to endzone. What was up with that? They seemed to have no problem finding the endzone.
Seriously, I can't recall seeing that before. Is that a common occurrence at the Linc?
They were actually vultures circling over the decaying carcass that is the Eagles' season.

the pigeons are there a lot...but usually they will take off at some point during the game...ive never seen them go back and forth and remain around for the whole game like they did sunday
Funny that they mentioned the field because I was talking about that with igy's boy that hooked me up with a ticket about how the field looked like crap before kickoff. I think there was a Temple game there on Saturday and it looked like they didn't even bother re-painting the lines or mid field logo.
Gold standard, indeed.
The midfield logo and endzones weren't painted on Saturday, so that was an overnight or early morning rush job
It didn't even look like they had been painted at all. All the lines and everything was really faded looking.

They were painted by Abercrombie and Fitch
Eagles be stylin'. That explains why all the refs had their collars popped.
A&F are the official faded jeans of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Go stand in the corner and put on your aids hat for knowing that.
The team doesn't give a farg, so why should the groundskeepers?
for Temple, duh
We're the best team that plays its homes games at the Linc.
