Rome

Again - how is he supposed to play consistently well without an effective offensive line or running game?

Do you think Joe Montana could play well without a line that can block?   The answer would be no.

Oh, come on... Foles is playing behind a patchwork piece of shtein offensive line that is littered with cast-offs and nobodies.  They can't run the ball with these losers, so that takes away any chance for the play action game to take hold.  That 90 yard drive was a thing of beauty and only idiotic play-calling from Kelly prevented them from scoring.

I give Foles credit for hanging in taking hits but he hasn't played well this year.  Too many passes left on the field.  He may not have been the problem but he has been a problem 

Yup.  I really like Foles' toughness.  I'm a fan.  I'd really like for him to be the guy for the next 10+ years.  But he has missed A LOT of throws this year.  And he's missing everywhere....missing deep, short, intermediate, inside, outside....you name it, he's missed it.  And these aren't throws made under pressure.  These are throws that he's getting protection on.  I hope I'm wrong and he's just in a really bad funk or something, but the first 4 games of the season he hasn't even come close to resembling anything from 2013 other than the Dallas and Minny games.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Yes Maclin has been better than I expected this year.  He'd have 500 yards if Foles was delivering it.  Cooper has been an abomination.  Dropped that in the endzone in what was prob Foles best pass today.

MDS

exactly

coop should be destroyed....total non factor. might be time to try matthews on the outside and give huff a look in the slot. they are getting nothing from the white trash hillbilly.

reality is they ought to win the next 2 and will go into the bye 5-1. chip has 3 weeks to cook something up for arizona, which if they play like this, will beat the shtein out of them.

Maclin and Matthews will be fine next year, but for this season buckle up for the Ertz-Sproles Show.
