Eagles Bucs next week

Evans pulled a hammy in the 4th today

The NFL’s Next Gen Stats noted that Davis reached a top speed of 18.59 mph on his way to the score. It was the fastest speed by an NFL player over 330 pounds since 2017. Davis is listed at 336 pounds.

Wow! What a finish! Into the 3rd quarter, down 26-7, I thought maybe they just needed a butt kicking to wake up. Then…they woke up….before THIS game was too far out of reach. Whew.

Observations:

• Impressive comeback. Seriously.

• The run game….It looks like they are running Barkley up the middle and "basically” telling him to figure it out. (I’m sure that is NOT true). He looked hesitant searching for a place to run. Eagles really need to clean up the run game. Dickerson is not right. Lane Johnson is a hall of famer. I’d like to see some more center, guard pulling and leading Barkley to the outside….but not pitching it backwards 10 yards to do it.

• Pass game…Fred Johnson should get a game ball! AJ Brown has such strong hands. Smith catches the ball so smoothly….minus one he definitely dropped. Hurts is going to get Goedert killed one of these days. Hurts is REALLY fortunate he has this O line because he holds onto the ball too long….the thing that Wentz still does…without the O line talent in front of him. I am being super nitpicky, because Hurts has improved a great deal since he became the starter….but, his ball seems to take longer to reach the target…giving defenders more time to impact the throw. My opinion. Maybe Im wrong. Not the end of the world so Cunningham please dont crucify me for saying it. I STARTED that comment by admitting i was being nitpicky. 😎

• Defense got ran on today…but stepped up in the 2nd half. McVay is a great coach. Give him credit too.

• Really fortunate Stafford was a bit "off” target today. He really was off today.

• Jordan Davis! What a freaking play to WIN the game. Hats off to you!

Ham's guy Roob.. made the observation that Davis has a chance to win BOTH defensive player of the week and Special teams player of the week.

MJ who? Lol

You really think it's just Barkley? Nothing to do with the holes not brong there due to the blocking?

IDK he used to break tackles and not seeing that now. Obviously bigger holes are easier to run through. Just not meshing. Of course we kind of struggled through the first 4 games last year, so let's see if adjustments are made.. AJ, Smitty and Goedert all made the plays when they needed to. I won't complain too much being 3-0,so far it's "enough"

Did you actually watch the game?

I could only watch it on Redzone and I did doze off for a bit LOL. I saw most of the comeback(not all). which was awesome

He is breaking the first tackle every time in the backfield

I suspect Lane will have an MRI done on his neck this morning

He said it was a stinger and should be back next week

Our team really showed their resilience and will to win! Very proud of their effort to figure it out and get it done.

You going to predict a loss again this week? Tampa is 3-0... last second FGs vs teams with a combined 1-8 record. Hey " they have our number" without AJ. Let's hear the long post where coaching trumps the players here.

Bucs keep finding a way to win…it’s a talent. Our Eagles are elite at this talent!

Jets, Falcons and Texans are just NFL powerhouses... the Eagles need to be worried!

The blocking has been TERRIBLE for Barkley this season…. Is almost always getting hit in the backfield on every handoff and the handful of times we do finally block well he pops off for 10+ yards….

Lot of the running game struggles likely tied to the fact we had zero passing game seen some lanes start to open up for him once we had an actual threat of a pass against the rams

You’d be a fool to think we should overlook the Bucs.

Having a quality…or qualified O mind surely would open up so much more.

I don't overlook anyone ...I enjoy watching the game that is on that week. You know... one at a time because you only play that one.

So would blocking

Wouldn’t say playing the Bucs is playing just any team. Feels like we hit a new era of rivalry harkening back to the days when we made Warren Sapp cry on the sidelines.
