Teams Philadelphia Eagles - The Gold Standard

[A11dAtP0w3R]

There was a stat on one of the podcasts last night about that there hasn't been an edge rusher sack in 6 games, think I recall that right. Coaches can only do so much.

& Huff fmd, what did we do there??

Can I victory lap about being right about Nolan Smith yet? Huff was pretty much strictly a third down terror for the Jets. Might be that is the only role he can play. Carl Lawson was very similar when he signed with the Jets from the Bengals, smaller body edge who used to create havoc on third down but wasn't any good when asked to take on a bigger workload.

Nolan reminding me of the last Smith we drafted to play edge.

Going to have a look at the Saints Cowboys game tonight to see what is coming...

I've always liked Carr so very happy to see he's doing well. The timing of this game with a quick turnaround could work in our favour. Or, going by some defensive numbers I just saw, they could simply kick the shit out of us .

No.

I nearly turned the replay off so many times. Glad I stuck with it, but god damn Hurts and Nick just keep sabotaging us.

The cheap shot on Devonta not even getting flagged is disgusting.

Great performance by the D. Really redeemed themselves after the last drive last week. Barkley also redeemed himself after the drop.

Hurts did not redeem himself. He turns the ball over way too much, especially in the end zone when they miss out on 3 because of it. He got lucky with the 3rd and 16 conversion, otherwise they would have lost after a really good game by everyone but him.

Then appears the dirty campaigner spat at/on him as well.

Goddert with the all time highest receiving game from an Eagles TE quietly

What the **** is Nick's problem with taking 3? I don't mind going for it on 4th down on certain situations but this git just keeps doing it at the wrong time.

That last play was so Eagles-esque from the Saints. No AJ/Smith, they leave our next best receiver wide open on 3rd and 16...

This game felt a lot like last weeks but in reverse. We take the lead late, Derek Carr with a minute to go throws a Jalen Hurts style pick when it wasn't needed.

The one at the end of the half was so ****ing stupid. With that time left, even if you convert you're probably still kicking. Just tie the damn game up.

That was an awful game of football. Defence was pretty awesome though.

 

[rumply]

Well was very hard to see that being a win at any point. Weird weird game. Blankenship is no fluke, keeps making those big plays.

How many injuries out of the game though & **** the zebras for not killing that Smithy concussion play earlier. That Saints lineman is a clear psycho.

 

[Jatz]

Pleased to see the D stand up well to an offense that's been humming.

Fangio owed us after whatever that was last week.

As did Barkley. Both bounced back very well.

 

[Southerntakeover]

No idea what percentage of games have been won after scoring 100 percent of your teams points in the fourth quarter but it can't be high.

We're yet to score a first quarter point this year. Can't imagine it'll go better next week with the injuries.

I assume we'll miss both the boys with concussion?

Yep Lane & Smith wont play. Steen & Fred Johnson did well up front though so more worried at WR with Covey also in doubt with a shoulder. So if AJ isn't back that leaves us with Dotson, Campbell & Wilson plus a couple guys on the practice squad I've never heard of.

Howie may have some midweek work to do but might have to tough it out for a couple weeks.

Bit worried we're going to run Saquon into the ground with all these WR injuries. How long is Brown expected to be out for?

Was supposed to be a couple of weeks.

Given the byes right after Tampa, you'd think makes sense to give the extra time, but it prob means accepting 2-2 (which would still see us near the division top).

Saquon only had 17 touches today!
