This offensive line against a stud DL? Super.
Yeah yeah Lane is back, blah blah, they suck.
lane is a pass blocker and not a great one....he wont help a single bit in the run game where they need help
they haven't missed him a little bit
This will be the Eagles first blowout of the season unless you count week 1
Eagles 35
Rams 17
It's weird how that map is set up. What the farg did the people in North Idaho do to deserve the Giants/Falcons game.

QuoteJohnson was far and away the most productive run blocker among the rookie offensive tackles and his +6.7 grade ranked 11th among all offensive tackles. Perhaps he was helped by Head Coach Chip Kelly's spread scheme that saw the entire Eagles offensive line dominate in the running game, as his grade actually ranked last among Philadelphia's starting five. Regardless, it was an impressive showing for Johnson who showed well whether controlling defensive linemen at the line of scrimmage or sealing defenders at the second level in Kelly's zone scheme.

Always thought Lane's thing was being athletic enough and strong enough to be a good run blocker but needed work with refining pass blocking technique since he hadnt been an olineman for long?
False...watch the games and quit thinking

You're way too optimistic.
the woman my father married after my mother died has a son that i have met maybe 10 times. he is getting married (he loves drinking and the bar scene, she is low key and quiet so i have feeling this aint lasting long) and evidently this event requires my presence.
the thing is he is an eagles fan, yet he scheduled a wedding for a sunday afternoon in october. i dont get people.
I guarantee that scheduling choice was 100% the girls idea
She at least hot?
actually, kinda, yeah.
she would probably be a better center than david molk, too.
Boob pix?!
i do not currently possess a picture of her tits. sorry?
When this happens to me, it errands. When it happens to you, it's...boob pics or we don't believe you.

Go and drink the booze and hide in a corner and surely someone will have the game on their phone or the bar tender will have a TV going.

there are 16 eagles games per year, but fishing in up state ny only comes around once

you don't cancel the whole trip....but you under no circumstances miss the eagle game....no one even says you have to be at the game....but to miss it?.....I know that's not everyone but that aint me son....guess what i did in the outer banks last sunday?
hint: I didn't go fishing or hang out at the beach
and I wasn't even dissin smeags...I was simply letting everyone know what he meant.....he wasn't saying he literally couldn't find a sports bar to watch it
Literally. Literalllllllllllllllllllllly.
And if you're referring to say, a Champions League Final with Manchester United, hell yes I'd rather see that in person than any random Eagles game. I've been to a couple hundred Eagles games, but never something like that.
My interest in the NFL and the Eagles specifically is at an all-time low. I hate watching it because it's boring. It's littered with moronic penalties. They can't hit each other anymore. The defensive backs can't even touch a farging receiver without drawing a flag. They won't let the players celebrate. The prices to attend games are disgusting. Goodell is a piece of shtein. I hate Lurie and his pink windmill liberal pussified stadium. But most of all I'm sick of the Eagles just plain sucking. They never win shtein and they're not going to win anything any time soon with their miserable defense.
In short, I'm more cynical and disinterested in this than I've ever been at any time in my life.
yeah i know all that....that's why you didn't need to say that youd rather go fishing
god damnit i love an old man rome "get off my lawn" rant
Other than the soccer thing, you feel the same way about the NFL and the Eagles. You'd be insane if you didn't.
It used to be such a fun thing to watch. I long for the days of watching the Eagles during the late 80's. Those guys beat the farg out of other teams and had fun doing it.
hooray for concussions and CTE

Everything. The uniforms, the players, the vicious hitting... just gives me a major stinger.
what you are really saying is that wes hopkins > nate allen and reggie white > brandon graham...and of course i agree with that
no one loves buddy and those uniforms more than me....and i 100% agree with the nostalgia part of it....i feel equally strong about the 80's flyer teams....but players or a uniform color doesnt change how much i watch my football team....in fact i don't even root for the eagles....i root for philadelphia
I'll actually agree with that wholeheartedly as it pertains to three of the teams in the city.
And Wes Hopkins > everything ever. Meeting him in person was one of the highlights of my life as a sports fan. One cool motherfarger, that dude.
we got lucky growing up in that era for sure....but the people who grew up with vincent hugh and dawk are going to look down just as fondly on them as we did gang green

Buddy was a loudmouthed fat ass who had no business being a head coach. I can think of a dozen coaches who probably would have won multiple superbowls with the talent he had on his teams.
Their offensive line was one of the worst units in the history of the team. They had no running game to speak of in the late 80's either. They had Randall, who was a human highlight reel, but let's not confuse him with any sort of quarterback either. He was a freak who was able to run the ball, and he had an absolute cannon of an arm, but he was horrendously inaccurate and he was careless with the ball.
They had a window and an unholy trinity of dickface Braman firing Buddy, Jerome dying, and Bryce farging Paup destroying Randall's knee effectively shut it forever.
Cunningham was so inaccurate that when he was pretty much over the hill he went to Minny and had one of the greatest offensive seasons in the history of the game.
Which is amazing because, if I recall, that team had the worst receivers ever. Two nobodies no one has ever heard of, and Jake Reed.
He had two anomalous years, 1990 & 1998:
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d178/jerome99rip/ScreenShot2014-10-04at85852AM_zps24bf6469.png)
Also - note the 1998 season. There's one stat that stands out among all the others. That would be the number of sacks he had to endure (a measly 20). Again - the Eagles offensive line was absolutely putrid during his prime. If he had a great offensive line in Philly he might have put up numbers similar to those in 1998 with Minny. Too bad we'll never know.

Really? He was a pro bowl qb who was, in his prime, an MVP candidate.
I didn't like him much but you can't deny his ability.

While that is true, he also had two of the greatest receivers ever to play the game. He did have a lot of talent but also a 2 cent head. Whenever you hear the "team of destiny" talk you know it is all over.
also in 1998 he had cris carter and randy moss....carter was basically in his prime and moss was disgusting. i think that was rookie year when he was totally uncoverable. a lot of their tds were just bombs to him double coverage.
Who are these Randy Moss & Cris Carter fellows?
he had cris carter in philly too
But all he did here was catch Touchdowns
I think you're all overlooking the biggest part of that Vikings offense.

chip: ok
Holy shtein...2 weeks in a row with a blocked punt TD
This is nice to see....crazy!!
offense can go home now
Casey Matthews making plays?
End of the world imminent
how come they didn't block the punt?
Nice play by Foles there
Anyone have a good stream for this game?
Foles is sloppy as farg
Stop floating the ball across the middle, clown
redzone. time to go take a dump, get a beer, come back for FG
I've been thinking all game Polk or Sproles needs to be in there. McCoy is looking slower every game.
What the farg Shady??
Get your shtein together bro
this game could be a blowout and instead it could easily be less than a 1 TD game.
Yessss!!!!
Way to go D
And Foles gives it back
Motherfarger
Foles pretty luck, that could have been the 4th pic this game. And Eagles continue to pad their league leading offensive turnover lead.
Love the pink bow in Beua Allen's ponytail
The offense is playing like Koy Detmer is the QB and Reno Mahe is the RB
Cary Williams played for the Titans? Hmmm ok Kenny Albert. Whatever you say bro
Jesus Christ
farg you Nate Allen
I hate Cary Williams. He's inconsistent, yet awful. Doesn't make sense, yet completely true.
A Riley Cooper TD?!
A red zone TD?!?!
Well well well
Nice throw and catch there from the honkies
Need to get Sproles involved more.
What the hell is up with the DBs giving 6 yard cushions when the QB is staring down the WR the whole way - then the DBs stand there like statues instead of breaking on the ball that they knew was coming? Davis better make that halftime adjustment.
Curious that Chip had 3 timeouts left at 50 seconds left in the half and didn't use one to stop the clock after the play. Guess he felt they can line up so fast that it's better to keep the rhythm and the D back on their heels. No other HC would think of doing that.
Holy shtein! Who needs an offense?
Defense and special teams smell blood close to the goal line
Killa!!!
TD!!
Next I want to see the Eagles block a kickoff.
Brandon Graham makes another play
This is good.
this is not good
another terrible "ill advised" throw by Foles he got away with.
Come on Foles...just slide there.
Foles learn to slide you farging goon
Atrocious
That's pretty bone headed. Foles' strength is supposed to be his football iq, but that was some dumb shtein right there.
And another lob into the end zone isn't defended
TD on Fletcher
farging iceholes come on Jesus
Kenny Britt = Eagle killer.
Also, this defense sucks something awful when they don't create turnovers.
Cooper is afraid to get hit, Hoyda
Another zesty offensive series
My god what the farg?!?
Oh and Ryans is questionable to return with a groin injury
HAHAHAHAHAH Baily misses 53 yarder to win as time expires to win it. Going to OT. His first miss in last 30 attempts.
Fletcher sucks
21 in a row
Dinked and dunked to death on that drive
What a farging mess.
Foles fumble was the tide changer
You throw it there to try to get the first because the clock is gonna stop anyways
Jesus Christ Chip
And Dallas wins...
Should have thrown a pass there and gone for the 1st, the 2 minute warning was going to hit regardless
Kelly is a joke with how he has managed end game scenarios. 2:06 left its going to 2 min warning even with incomplete pass. Why run? I don't get it. He doesn't get how to run offenses up by multiple TDs in 2nd half. Didn't last year either.
farging hell lucky drop there. No excuse for guys running that wide open right now.
Lucky to get away with a W after that second half.
Lol why did Maclin sprint off the field after that kneel down? His wife due for a baby or something?
What a lucky win
I don't think I've ever been this angry after a win
farging boneheads
Foles and Chip can farg off
4-1 and it feels like they're 1-4. This team is headed for a deceiving 8-8, 9-7 finish. May sneak into playoffs and implode and we get to cheer when they draft another "OLB/DE tweener. Not impressed at all with this show.

It's one of the problems. How can you not see this?
Two biggest potential mismatches are Ertz and Sproles on safeties and LBs. Really don't get force feeding to WRs at the expense of positive and legit mismatches.

problem is they arent that big of a mismatch when you don't have to respect the outside or for that matter the running game....ertz would be a lot more effective if the eagles could run play action...but you cant run play action when you cant run
Ok yeah constant pressure and no solid pocket is a-ok for football.
Maybe if he had more time or they ya know opened some running lanes the junior varsity WRs can make some plays?

I don't disagree with that but I'd rather get Sproles in the slot or Ertz on a safety than cooper anywhere and they've gone away from that. Sproles has consistently produced this year. I really don't understand why he's not lined up in the slot more.
stop making excuses for foles...hes not any good...hes had more than enough time to throw the ball all year
the running game they deserve criticism for sure....but shady aint shady either
Who is making excuses?
Missed what I said about Foles didn't ya?
Saying the OL sucks, which is well documented, is not making excuses. It's stating fact. A fact that you cited as a key to success this year when you mentioned now healthy they were last year. So they're not healthy and they're playing with scrubs and that's a fact.
Worst part of Cowboys being decent this year is all the frauds out at the bar. Dude next to me was wearing a Cowboys jersey and Orioles hat. Can't think of a better image of a Cowboys fan than that. Gfy

ertz isn't jimmy graham...you cant just wish him on a safety and think hes gonna get open or make a play...hes a solid guy but he needs to be freed...he isn't a playmaker....
sproles i agree more with but when you put him in the slot the defense just puts a safety over the top of him cause i mean what else does a safety have to do against the eagles but come up and either double a potential mismatch or stop the run....without pimp theres nothing deep they ever have to worry about

I love how shady plays but Sproles needs more carries right now. Runs more N/S and takes what he can get. Mccoy is frustrated and tries to get to many big plays right now and it isn't working.

the offensive line hasn't sucked in pass protect....you said foles needs more time and hell make plays...thats an excuse....foles is average at best and most likely worse than that...league is on him and chip
Foles needs a clean pocket and time for people to get open. He is not going to throw them open which we have talked about. Therefore he needs;
Stout pass protection
Good running game
Innovative coaching and play calling
He's getting none of that.
No excuses. Keys for him to succeed for being what he is
And I agree about Sproles. He hits the hole quick and he's so small that he's about to power through or blow past people.
Time or no time, Foles is making awful throws. I think. I can't be 100% sure, since good streams are getting harder to find every week.

Foles needs a clean pocket and time for people to get open. He is not going to throw them open which we have talked about. Therefore he needs;
Stout pass protection
Good running game
Innovative coaching and play calling
lets also give him the no blitz pro bowl rules and a red jersey so he cant get hit
Also, McCoy may just need to swallow his pride and take the measly 3 yard runs he would be getting if he wasn't trying to Barry Sanders on every play.
that's his game....he cant or shouldn't be expected to change now...problem is he cant run by or away from anyone this year...just doesn't have that extra gear he did last year due to wear and tear
Difference when you're cutting 5 yards up the field to get extra yardage and farging around 5 yards in backfield though.
So you say a zesty OL is fine and no reason to hinder success of a team?
the OL isnt that zesty....foles just isnt that good
no amount of better blocking or 2010 shady is going to change that. dude just isnt great at the quarterbacking thing. hes not BAD, like say matt barkley, but he's not someone you're going to build around.
Teams are content with stacking the box and letting Foles try to beat them. They're still putting up 30 a game but that's not going to last long. He was really good last season at hitting the open receiver and putting the ball in a place where that guy could make a play...this season he's missing the open guy and forcing throws.

i only watched a portion of the 2nd half, but i think the offense really only put one drive together. well 3, if you count the 2 field goals.
4 tds - 1 defense, 1 special teams, 1 set up by defense, 1 offense

lane is a pass blocker and not a great one....he wont help a single bit in the run game where they need help
they haven't missed him a little bit

Did you read the article I linked? Silly question considering who I'm communicating with, I know, but just in the off hand you did, what part did you disagree with?
i dont need to read an article to know what happened....I watched the game....but just for you I read it and it says nothing about lane johnson helping the running game improve....in fact it says nothing about lane johnson doing anything but not farging up...which is what you are looking for in your first game back
i will be watching the all 22 this week tho and will report back

Bill Davis said that a safety (my guess is Nate Allen) broke containment and should have helped Bradley Fletcher on Rams 4th Q TD.
me and sd were talking about this on sunday....how farging bad does the wolffman have to be to not be able to bump nate allen out of the starting lineup
Good point - yeah he must be putrid.
His missed tackle on Gore last week was zesty as hell and he cannot beat Nate Allen out?
Nate Allen was adequate last season, this season he's back to horrid. Offseason wish list: Pass Rusher, Safety. Not much has changed.

lol...pretty much
we wont know before the next draft but hopefully smith pans out as any kind of linebacker inside or out because they need three of them
Damn shame they couldn't reel Haha in
I'd have been giddy if they reeled him in-- and that's without even knowing Smith would be on the other side of it.
Yeah me too and he wanted to be here too
I wanted him or CJ Moseley.
