1. Worried about losing momentum after the bye. Stupid to have it this early.
2. Hilbilly Johnson will be gone so it'll be Barbre and Wisniewski stepping in. I don't care for Barbre at tackle but I hope he's ready.
Lomas Brown can eat my meatcicle.
And Barry Sanders was the GOAT and it's not even close.
That's all I got.
this is my outer banks, nc game this year....go to the same bar every year to watch...its a pittsburgh bar but its owned by a guy from philly and a guy from pennsyltuck....
ive never seen the eagles win when im down there....im 0-7 all time

1. do you mean stupid that the eagles have it or stupid in general? because the byes are even distributed over the course of time, meaning youre going to wind up late byes, early byes and midseason byes as the years go. if they had ALL the byes week 7-10, lets say, those weeks would be a complete disaster from a viewership perspective. fewer games, fewer chances to bet, some really good chances of complete national tv duds. then youd whine about that.
2. barber is about what youre going to get as a backup tackle. there are barely 64 good starting tackles in the league, let alone a good backup.
I hate them having an early bye. I know they're all spread out but I hate the week four-six ones.
Maybe that dope Johnson will think again before doing PEDs
[conspiracy theory] Wentz is the most popular player in the NFL right now, the Eagles are the most intriguing team, maybe the NFL lets Lane off the hook for Wentz's sake[/conspiracy theory]
so byes between weeks 4-6 should exist but the eagles should never have one?
They should go to bad teams, not teams like the Eagles who we all knew would be super good this year.
Will never happen but all teams should have the same bye week after game 8. Yes it would blow not having football for a week but we'd all still find a way to live.
Maybe they could have some sort of exhibition game/skill challenges full of really good players during that bye week.

Bringing back the 2nd bye week makes way too much sense with the TNF games and if Goodell & the owners actually gave a single farg about player safety, they'd have implemented this at the same time they decided to start having TNF games every week.
Listen up Beane
I don't like when my favorite team has an early bye.
It doesn't get any simpler than that. Stop over analyzing everything.
good news....ertz has been cleared and both him and leodis should be go's for sunday
Schwartz should have his defense more than ready - statement game for him.
They should drag Detroit's ass up and down the field. They're awful.
So double digit loss then?
Recall that this Lions team did curb stomp the Eagles by over 30 points less than a year ago.
Of course I try to block that out and remember the Snow Bowl and the Rodney Peete playoff game, two of the most joyous football games I have ever witnessed.
Saw the Peete game at a bar in Key West. Unreal.
Yeah they had Calvin Johnson feasting on the secondary.
Rob Carpenter with the bomb before the half!
Lomas Brown guarantee game. My seats were on the 50 yard line.
The Green Legion put together a party at the Linc for this game, you get to watch the game on the big screens from the field. Tickets were $40, but we got the open bar and buffet which comes to $90. If the weather is bad the Eagles don't want fans destroying the field, so they're going to postpone it for another game.

Our game is green
Skins/Ravens is yellow

Brennaman, Charles Davis, Chris Spielman and Peter Schrager for this one

I can't remember the exact number but it is something like 8.25% of what the NFL has taken in for breast cancer awareness that actually went towards bc. And it is breast cancer awareness. Not treatment, not research, just "awareness." Such a fraud, worse than the military shams.
It's basically like if Goodell personally had a scam side business selling timeshares or something, and for a month each year, ads for that business were plastered all over the stadiums and uniforms.
They do it as a creepy way to market to women. If breast cancer is ever cured maybe they will switch the marketing gimmick to yeast infection month.
Agree, and it is not only creepy. There is something morally corrupt about using a serious issue like cancer to try and blow pink smoke up people's asses and make think they are helping a cause rather than being tooled for no other motive than corporate greed. And now we'll go to our Monistat Moment yeast catch of the day...
Good start
schwartz destroyed on that drive
saw a blatant hold on vc uncalled but otherwise credit jim bob for schoolin jimmy
Yes, that sure looked like a block in the back against Curry.
Welcome home Schwartz or is it Happy Thanksgiving?
You know it's bad for us when the Lions first drive was good enough to inspire Caldwell to show human emotions.
A day of firsts
First TD pass allowed
First opening drive they've not score on
Props to 4/5th's of the OL for not wearing any pink
Well first TD pass given up was on Kendricks who couldn't cover my mother so not surprised.
Marcus Smith is sofa king good
Schwartz is getting worked by Jim Bob Cooper.
What a dumb farging penalty. Lol @ these morons trying to defend pure stupidity
85 bears huh
Misdirection again
It's thanksgiving all over again
My god
the eagles are back
Lions look putrid for weeks and now they're playing flawlessly
Come on defense you farging idiots
More like 85 Eagles

this has nothing to do with doug p and carson...theyve run like 8 plays

They're running off the end. Safety and Bradham specifically haven't shown up.
Horrible spot
Gotta challenge that spot
great tackle by kendricks
Bad spot but even worse tackling to let him get close
Why is Riddick a farging HOFer against this team
I realize the LB position depth sucks on the Eagles but it's time for Kendricks to go.
Stupid 3rd and 11 turns into that
Good job
Can't tackle gives them the drive extension. You tackle Riddick anywhere close to where it should've been then they have to punt. Abusing Eagles LBs.
zach zenner lol
This defense is punch drunk right now.
Jesus Christ Schwartz, quit coaching like a little Hoyda. Dude has no answer.
This is pissing me off
My god you know they're using the aggressiveness against you why not honor the screens and dump offs.
Bullshtein
Unfargingreal
Well then
farging goddammit
looks like one of those games where they cant do a damn thing right

Can't tackle and playing like farging morons
Kendricks needs to be put out to pasture.
Don't think I've ever seen a QB just tip the ball to another player like that.
farging awful

This will be the first of many. Sad thing is you'd have thought teams would figure out Wentz and the offense after three games but this defense is playing as bad as last year.
That had to have been the quickest first half I've ever seen. 2 minute warning already?
can you really even be mad....this is the eagles we expected from the start...its the reason why the first three games were so fun
Not going to get much help either
What a lousy call on Sproles
Jesus Christ
How the farg you call a chop block on a midget? Awful flag.
Penalties straight killing the Eagles.
What the hell are they reviewing? The illegal player down the field negates the catch anyway, doesn't it?

the answer is somewhere in the middle
What exactly are they reviewing here? If there was a penalty at all?
Soo...catch counts? Okay.
What. Is. Happening.
Pete Morelli is clueless

Not bad to be down 11 getting the ball, considering that the Lions have scored a TD every time they've had the ball.

luckily they only had it three times...im half joking but if the eagle defense did anything good it was allowing super long drives
So far, this is 100% on the defense. When they aren't busy getting shredded, they're committing penalties....so many that the refs tried to pin an offensive penalty on a farging LB.
the ads are only for that god awful skip bayless show and politic attacks
give me the eagles defense instead
eagles averaged 8 yards a carry and had two incompletions in an nfl half and are down 11
carson wentz is good
DGB is a badass
Nice drive
Let's farging goooooooo defense
well that was easy
Charles Davis please stop
Pete Morelli needs to call it a career.

Bradhams punishment seems over he's back out there
McKelvin hurt again - Mills in
Carroll has been playing like trash today.
Yes!!!
Stafford gonna Stafford
Why wasn't that PI?
Damn gotta catch that DGB
Eagles taking the play clock too far down
Rushing the snap because of it
did not take advantage of that....hopefully that drive doesnt come back to haunt
Get this QB some farging receivers.
Not an easy catch but ball was where it needed to be. Have to bring that in.
farging stone-hand receivers. The lot of them suck.
Jesus Christ Wentz, the pass to Agholor and the one that DGB DROPPED were beautifully thrown balls.
this guy ever gets some receivers that can actually catch, shtein.
Sign Josh Gordon?
Gotta either field that or be in position after it bounces once. Don't get the point of being 15 yards back.
Hey, a stop
This game reminds me a little of ATL last year
Why did Mighty Mouse not field that punt?
Jason Kelce. Good work.
Yep another wasted play clock
Come on
Huge swing there starting with Sproles poor decision. If they go 3 and out if he fields it Detroit is pinned deep
Wentz needs to learn how to call timeouts. Kelce needs to learn how to snap the farging ball when the QB is calling for it
That was pure awful
eagles lost 23 yards on that exchange of possesions
Awful drive, awful punt, bring on the awful defense

I was thinking the same thing.
I'm also in trouble with the wife for wishing death on the refs, the Eagles receivers, and the announcers. Loudly and profanely.
I thought offensive holding is enforced from the LOS and that it's only during returns that a hold is enforced from the spot of the foul?
Nice play Bradham.
There you go D
couldnt ask for much more than that on defense
PBU on 1st
sniffed out a screen on 2nd
front 4 gets pressure on 3rd to force a short throw
jim schwartz!
Run a normal offense here and you win. Don't run three times into the line.
Seems like Det came out of the half intending to run the exact same offense they did in the 1st half and doesn't have anything the account for Schwartz adjustments.

unreal
someone one detroit touched the ball when he was out
should be eagles ball
toss sweep is such a bad call there
He out of bounds!
You have to put that in Wentz's hands there
Oh of course they'd uphold it
farg you Mathews and Morelli
Good job Mathews. Dick.
Any doubt they lose on a 60yd Fg??
just awful, unfarging real

Play was dead second he made the pitch, Lions had it read perfectly. Agree, put it in wentz's hands
should have let tate score
Mathews needs to be carrying the ball in his outside hand. No reason at all for him to have it in his left hand on that play.
Smallwood, Barner > Mathews
This was long overdue. We all knew he's a pez dispenser with the ball.
Time for the kid to put any lingering doubts to rest.
Quit giving Mathews the "it's Ok dude, we got this" shtein on the bench. farging choker

Lions had no timeouts left. A first down in bounds runs to the two minute warning and ends game. Most important thing tho is you run the play most likely to get it not most likely to run the clock. Wentz in third and short has been $$. Some long developing pitch play seems really high variance to me. Might rip off 11 yards but I can't imagine that's the best bet for 2 yards.
maybe you should go during their bye week you selfish farg

My view is first down was 100% the priority and clock shouldn't even be on the brain... giving the ball to Stafford with 2 minutes left needing 1 point isn't a confident winning look even if they start on their 15.

Eagles were up to 84% before the fumble.
Defense was stellar in the second half until that little twat Golden Tate broke their back.
This team has no receivers and a fumbling feature back that was due for one. Of course according to Charles Davis it was the greatest defensive play ever when DGB dropped the touchdown. It was dropped. DGB has to catch that. Does he even have another gear? Guy seems like he's just half assing it out there.
Where the hell was the "playmaker" Ertz today?
Buckle up gentlemen.
Btw the non reversal on the fumble recovery was huge

Btw the non reversal on the fumble recovery was huge
Kelce was touching the ball while oob - and so did the lions dude
that just summed up how bad the officiating was today. Always the last thing you want to blame but it was an abomination today. I honestly thought it would have been overturned. Thought the replays from just about every angle showed it.
14-111
And...
2-18
And the Lions got five first downs out of those flags.
Absolutely ridiculous.
I'm sure IGY will be along to explain why they were biased in favor of the Eagles any moment.

Guy was out of bounds but Morelli isn't going to overturn that unless he has a crystal clear shot of someone being out and there wasn't one.
pretty much
you'd have to have one of those grainy super close up shots that you see sometimes showing a wr's foot out of bounds to have overturned that
I never saw anything in the replays that definitely showed a Lion touching the ball while out of bounds, so I thought the review was legit. Looking at it again however, Kelce was clearly humping the ball while his arm was out. Go to about 35 seconds:

I missed the game entirely. Had to replace oxygen sensors in my wife's car, and the lower one stripped out, so I had to run get a tap at Advance, tap the exhaust, etc. Also had to change the handing of a chicken coop door.
Errands >> entertainment
Anway...all I really care about is how Wentz looked. From what I can tell, he did well but had an INT late, probably on some kind of last gasp throw?
And you all are fighting about what, now? Someone catch me up.
Just being the usual bitches we are.
Wentz played good, not great but good. Couple of drops - Beckham with a real bad one in end zone. Birds got ball back down 1 with 1:38 left and no time outs. Just needed to get in FG range and Sturgis looked good all game. Wentz decides to air it out to Agholor downfield on the first play and picked off. Very bad decision. Not a last gasp throw. They had plenty of time.
Probably his worst game but he still looked good, Wentz wagon is still rolling.
Defense sucked in the first half, offense had two turnovers in the last 2:30 that cost them the game, refs sucked. That's all you need to know.
3-1. Just pretend the results of the Steelers game and Lions game were reversed and we'd all be pretty happy.
True. 3 -1, we would have never believed it before week 1.
2-2 was more like the consensus. Upcoming schedule is sickening.
I had them winning 3 the whole season. Not wrong yet.

He thought he had the big balls and chucked it deep when he didn't need to. A better pass might have been caught, but I'll take it and assume he learns not to do it.

Hey, halfway to my 6. Fingers crossed.
I can't believe the 16-0 dream was crushed so quickly.
I've got extra cyanide caplets if needed.
Did Pederson call the intercepted pass, or did Wentz? Whoever should be chastised at the very least for thinking Agholar was the right guy to count on, nevermind double coverage, time on clock, down, etc. Nelson farging Agholar?

It was a pass and Agholor was his third read - first two were covered so he launched it
The answer then is Pederson.
Well yeah but with no timeouts and 1:20ish to go they're not going to run the ball
I'm not too upset about it, what the farg. You have to call a play. I just want to know who it's on. Bad play call, game over.
I had them for 2 wins this year. I'm already happy. Wentz continues to give reason to hope that he's legit and Pederson isn't a train wreck.
No need to get defensive.
But really. Let's call a play there that doesn't involve even possibly chucking the ball downfield to Nelson Agholar. There are other options even in that situation.
INT was primarily Wentz's fault. Agholor wasnt open and he put it in a place where Slay could easily make the INT. Agholor sort of lost his footing going for the ball...some (post game radio callers who don't think anything is Wentz's fault ever) would call it a lackluster effort on his part.
He should have thrown the ball out of bounds rather than attempted the pass to Agholar.
the int was 100% on wentz...it wasn't a particularly bad throw just a bad decision in that he forced the throw trying to make something happen...it was a throw you make with 30 seconds left not a minute thirty
still it should never be forgotten that this teams wr's suck and that play was a perfect example....the line gave him tons of time and went thru basically every progression he had and still no one was open
He should have thrown it out of bounds.
After the debate, I'll watch highlights.
Yeah for anyone to blame it on anyone but Wentz is not right
Like Dio said go out of bounds or throw it far enough beyond the DB in trail to not allow him a chance to make a play
Jordan Matthews was MIA this week compared to what he's been. I'm guessing he was a focus for the Lions. Take away that catch that wasn't a catch along the sideline and his stat line was the same as DGB. Three fewer targets than Agholor.
Three fewer targets than a guy who is never open... that's not good.
Did Doug say why Smallwood and Barner didn't get any run?
Agholor farging sucks. He has zero ability and his awareness on the field is non-existent. Wentz made a big mistake assuming he would somehow do his job and come down with that ball. Lesson learned (hopefully).
Agholor has all the makings of being the next Freddie Mitchell. Matthews as the next Pinkston, this is not good.
I have to assume that Howie sees the situation at receiver and will do something about it. He's tried in a limited way already with DGB but it's clear that as a group they're just not good enough.
Matthews is a decent third receiver btw. No more, no less.

That is a damn good question!
Holy shtein. Watched a lot of the game again tonight. These motherf'ing refs were disgusting. I knew it was bad but this was out of control. Please help me with this but does the NFL come out and say the refs missed that call or this call? I know they protect them to the death but are they ever called out publicly?
It was 14-2. I understand home cooking but that's absurd.

it was absolutely amazing how after what the group of backs did against Pittsburgh that agohlor got more carries than Smallwood and barner combined
between that bradham the Matthews call Doug had a really really bad day
As pissed off as I still am about yesterday, I am feeling really good about Bradham. Guy is just a freaking beast out there.
Kendricks is playing so poorly right now. He can't cover, tackle, looks lost. I don't recall seeing any of this crap his first two seasons. Yes he's always been undersized but I remember when he had a motor and it was exciting watching him play. Now I cringe when he's on the field.
Agreed on both fronts.
I was a huge fan of Kendricks and didn't want to think they'd deal him. But something changed in his game, namely tackling, and he's not what he was his rookie year. He's pretty much pigeonholed himself into being a weak side LB who blitzes. That's his strength.
Bradham needs to kick the case of the dumbfargery and he will be that much better
Bradham has made some good plays but he whiffed on at least a couple of other tackles that I saw. Their tackling in general needs to improve. And the outside contain. They can't keep getting burned with runners taking it around the edge. Especially earlier in the game neither DE or OLB was anywhere to be found outside. Wide-9 or not they have to clean that up.
There's going to be a lot to clean up after this 8 game stretch.
Yeah, probably. It's like the bear that is shteinting in the woods and looks over and sees a rabbit shteinting also, and he bear asks "hey rabbit, do you have a problem with shtein sticking to your fur?" The rabbit says "no, why do you ask?" So the bear wipes his ass with the rabbit. I'm hoping the Eagles don't go from bear to rabbit in trying to clean things up.
