Jaguars at Eagles GAME THREAD

[joel in providence]

a halfway decent team would have won that game by probably 21 or 28 points. the eagles really should not have even been close enough in the fourth quarter to try an onside kick. better teams would have destroyed today. the jaguars just absolutely blow.... and we STILL made them look like a real nfl team.

[The BIGSTUD]

The tackling is a major issue.

They rarely get the fargers down at first contact. How many times did we see Taylor and Drew drag guys today? Or simply truck guys?

They are out of position a lot too. On that goddamn TD run by Taylor Darwin Walker was WAY out of position.

And on that pass play to Matt Jones Dawkins and Tito blew the coverage.

But mostly it is tackling.

Yep, I said that in the other thread. Please tackle on first contact. My god. Their guys bounce off, our's go right down to the turf.

This has been an issue with this team for years now.

Awful. I had to DVR the game again because of my lame media skills, but it still ate ass.

The tackling was piss poor, but all told, they gave up 13 points. The farging offense was pathetic. Just pathetic. Everyone and everything was a joke. I just don't know. They bye week couldn't come at a better time. Get a week off to figure shtein out and come back and kick the shtein out of the Skins to get things going again.

But what an egg. Again. They do this all the time the week before the bye, but don't lose 2 going into it. God damnit. When the hell does baseball season start?

[Zanshin]

Woeful.

dawk looked really old today

[PhillyGirl]

Why? Because of that one play where Taylor outran him? I thought Dawkins had a real solid game. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Trotter is the one who looked really poor today. Inexcusable performance by him today.

Trotter played?

So the Eagles game is on in St. Louis this week, which is rare.  Plus, it's a beautiful day today hovering around 70 degrees, and Phanatics daughters birthday party is at a nice park.  No problem -- I Tivo the game so I can watch it when I get home.

8 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, and what happens?  They switch from the game to the friggin St. Louis parade going on downtown.  Live coverage of the god damned parade!   

Of course, knowing now what I (didn't) miss, I'm really not too upset about it. 

[TexasEagle]

I'm sure the parade was more entertaining than that game.

Dawkins also got shook out of his jock by Garrard on one of his early scrambles for a first down.

[PhillyPhreak54]

And blew the coverage on Jones' long 3rd down conv.

[Rome]

Watching that game and then watching the Indy/Broncos game that proceeded it was depressing as hell.

Manning basically hit every receiver in stride, had full command of the offense, and knew exactly where everyone was on the field at every moment.

It was like watching Joe Montana at his peak shredding a defense to pieces.

As for the Eagles, what really needs to be said?  The defense was obliterated at the point of attack all game long and the Jaguars basically beat the living shtein out of the Birds on the line of scrimmage.  Whenever the Jaguars needed tough yards, they got them.  They didn't have much success throwing the ball, yet somehow, when they needed a catch, someone stepped up and actually caught the ball.

On offense, there was no rhythm, no urgency, and the offensive line got destroyed when they weren't busy committing idiotic penalties or allowing an undermanned Jaguars defensive line to blast Donovan into tiny pieces.

The punt coverage team was mediocre, the kickoff coverage team was awful, the return teams sucked, and Dirk Diggler had another awful performance.

Just a complete fiasco from start to finish.

The Jaguars got manhandled last week by the Texans.  Yes, that's right... the TEXANS.


SEASON OVER.
