Week 16: On To Washington...You Like That?!

[SD]

This is no lie id rather have Casey Matthews back before Alonzo. I've never seen a defensive player live who was so bad.

[Zanshin]

Just jumping in to say that this Eagles team is one of the least entertaining and least likable teams that I can remember. The list of things I like about it pretty much starts and ends with Fletcher Cox. Actually, I think that the NFL in general has seemed like a dumpster fire this year.

Another issue

Eagles RBs and TEs targeted 37 times

Everything underneath

Wtf

lol at "another issue"....the wr's were the worst in the nfl when you were predicting this team to win the sb

Barwin - garbage
Jenkins - average

I'm not reading this entire thread, but of all of the slop that went on last night, there are really only 3 things I don't understand.

1.  Why the farg would you run a toss on your own 20 yard line?  Especially when it's a little wet out.  That was literally begging for a turnover.

2.  Wtf was up with the pooch kick on the on sides attempt?  I honestly don't think I've ever seen that attempted before. Hopefully I never see it again.

3. I really don't get the play calling on their final possession. I get that they don't have anyone to stretch the field, but you definitely gotta take a shot and at least try to draw a cheap flag. And the 5 yard completions in the middle were just retarded. They needed to score with more than 2min left to even have a shot at forcing a 3 and out, and I don't even think they took a shot at the end zone when they were getting close. Retarded/chicken shtein play calling imo.

Also, is there somewhere you can look up the types of penalties each team has called against them?  I feel like the Eagles would be leading the league in illegal formation penalties this year. In fact, this has kind of been a thing ever since Chip showed up.

[Sgt PSN]

I could be wrong, but I'm like 99% positive they've had more than 3 called against them this year. It's possible that maybe some were declined, and aren't included, but I feel like this has been a recurring thing with this team.

I turned it off before that point, but did it look anything like the 20 yd onside drop kick Belichick tried against the Eagles a few weeks ago?

[Sgt PSN]

Probably. I really don't remember much from that game.  I didn't even know that happened. I got kind of loaded for that one.

[Tomahawk]

According to that site, five have been called.

It was an absolutely horrendous call.  Raining and once again they send Murray wide on that pitch.  That was the strangest call I've seen in awhile.  Hoping it's the last time we see Murray carry a ball as a bird.

[QB Eagles]

Hoping it's the last time we see Murray carry a ball as a bird.

Unfortunately that requires finding another team willing to pay him $7 million a year or whatever his salary is. In a league that has pretty much figured out that running backs don't matter. Cutting him would be a total cap killer that would make it difficult to do things like signing a QB, getting OL or WR talent, or resigning Fletcher Cox.

how about chip changes his dumb ass delay shotgun stretch handoffs and design more down hill shtein

that's what a genius would do

Denver seems to always be looking for running backs.  Nothing worked for them this year as they played musical chairs with Anderson, Hillman, and Juwan Thompson.
