Rollins > Eli

Foles deep balls have looked like shit all game

[smokew11]

they've looked like shit all year. he cant hit a deep pass to save his life

[JRS1386]

First Eagles game I haven't watched all year. Sorry guys

[Funkhouser]

Awful offense, awful offensive line and awful play calls. How do you not run the ball on 3rd down and 1? Hope we learn from our mistakes and power through the season

They are all 2 steps to far...probably because Jackson used to get to those.

Jackson wasnt his only receiver last year. Cooper and Celek made a lot of deep plays last year. Foles looks absolutely terrible on every pass farther than 10 yards

It seems that he has missed guys long more than not this year, which is strange, but I've also noticed a few plays where his receivers have slowed up or made a different cut than what Foles seemed to expect. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that this is basically a new receiving corps for him. Outside of Cooper, he had limited time last year with Ertz and none with Maclin or Matthews. I think he'll come around but the chemistry isn't there yet.

Also, I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about Ertz's fumble. It was a very bad play that changed the complexity of the game, and from that distance virtually guaranteed points to SF.

[smokew11]

the fumble was awful. it was also in the midst of a run where SF scored on like 3/4 series, and kept the defense on the field for a ton of time. Also in that ensuing drive was Chip's fuck up on 4th down, accepting a penalty and giving SF a chance to get a TD, which they did

thats a big risk to take with a tired defense deprived of talent to begin with. like Buck said, at that spot on the field it would have been a big morale boost to hold the 49ers to a FG, which they did. That was a huge fuck up on Chip's part

They did not get a TD on that drive. They ended up kicking a FG from closer and making the game 26-21.

my bad

still a horrible move by Kelly

[smokew11]

and PS..

Cary Williams anyone? My dad knows nothing about football but came over for dinner in the 2nd half. By the middle of the 4th he asked me who #26 was because "that guy is terrible"

i;m thinking he will be playing with mesean next year.
between his comments about Pats, practice, and his overall play...dont think he survives the off-season

[smokew11]

you cant play that bad AND talk shit and expect to stick around

[Noles20]

Huge game Sunday night. Unveiling the all black uni's for the first time. Should be fun.

Interested to see the black pants...They should try them out with the White Jerseys as well... definitely a HUGE game. A week ago I wouldve been pretty confident, but I am actually a little nervous about the Giants.

[smokew11]

cant believe the giants actually look good after being so lost for 5 preseason and 2 reg season games

And they're still only the 2nd best team in the NFC east

if the Cowboys can somehow go 9-7 Jerry Jones can finally die happy

[JRS1386]

If I were a Cowboys fan I would pray for that scenario. As someone who hates the Cowboys and Jerry Jones I hope he lives forever

[smokew11]

Jerry Jones is one of the best owners in sports, hes just a shitty GM

[smokew11]

i feel like its just wrong to be both GM and owner because they have conflicting interests. its a GMs job to put together the best possible team utilizing every resource you have. An owners job is to field the best team utilizing the resources he decides on, while using cost-benefit analysis to make sure the team is profitable.

[cooke726]

As an Eagles fan I hope that Jones lives forever and stays as GM...I also hope Jason Garrett goes nowhere. What kind of asshole ices his own kicker? love that guy!

5-1 yo.

Very happy with 5-1.. Perfect time to head into the bye with a tough road game up next

[smokew11]

that defense should be feeling good going into Az, and hopefully Kendricks will be back. what a dominating performace.

theyre saying Sproles will miss 2 weeks. hopefully its just that but i doubt it
