Eagles vs Vikings Game Day Thread

Good - Eagles up by 6 late in the 4th.

Bad - Still plenty of time to allow the Vikes to make a 90 yard drive and win the game.

Clock management? Bueller? Anyone? Clock management?

They do have one of the top RBs on the team... $:-\$

I think Andy is obsessed with Sportscenter and he figures the only way to get the Eagles on Sportscenter is with passing highlights... that's gotta be it, because otherwise this shtein makes no farging sense.

i don't understand what the problem is...it's not like they are up by 14 here...they were up by 4, you have to try and get more points there, and they scored their points by passing the ball down the field

Kearse with a sack.

Announcer: This is where... you would think... Philadelphia would run out the clock.

almost downed at the 4 but it gets deflected into the endzone. SMRT

Watching the replay of the Holcomb sack... OUCH.

Just saw a replay of that - he's lucky to be alive

the only pass i would think about attempting to run here is a screen pass

The problem is they don't run any time off the clock while they're winging the ball down the field. It's great when they can do that and score touchdowns at the end, but they don't/can't so without eating more clock all they're doing is giving the D less time to rest, not putting up enough points to build a decent lead, and leaving too much time for the opposition to mount drive of their own.

:27 left with a punt coming up. No timeouts
