Rams, SF and Balt all lost their QB's today, 1st 2 for the yr.

Stafford has a spinal contusion.

New cast, green but the iron on won't stick

Jimmy out... looking even better for Eagles to make SB now.

Glue a strip of velcro on the back if it's green gauze over top of it

Bad day for QB's

It's an embroidered patch that I want to put on another shirt. Hard to stick anything to these fiberglass casts. Do have some 2 part fiberglass glue downstairs - lol!

Ryan not helping us w/ that INT. All's good, we'll have to play dem boyz at least one more time.

Alien tape. Double sided,pulls off and leave no marks

Dallas doing a great job beating up the bad teams!

Hurts impressed me yeaterday. He went thru his progressions and threw it well! Only issue I can see is he still needs to work on throwing while rolling to his left. All other aspects seem to be much better. Very impressed with what I have seen this season.

    I hope Davis is OK. His presence was seen early. However, holding Henry to 30 total rushing yards was awesome. Now we need to keep a spy on Giants QB this week and stop Barkley.

 

 

Quiet on here after a quality win!

I too was impressed. I saw the offense I have been banging lids about for the first time. Rather upset with all the stupid penalties(again),those really need cleaned up.It's not the first time either We can't afford to give land away. The Wuss are playing good ball now. Their rookie RB is gaining confidence,he will be a good one. Heinike is at least consistent and I think Wentz is now done in Wussville too. They are in the hunt for a playoff spot if the cards fall right for them. Defense was excellent. Bend don't break. We let them plink and plunk us then denied them multiple times. By the time Davis went out they were already behind and in catch up throwing mode. Speaking of throwing mode, it made me smile seeing Hurts as a passing QB who can run. I was hoping this would happen and I hope it continues. Hurts is a terrific runner,but nice to see him open up the passing game which we have heavily invested in. I was impressed with his accuracy. he really made a major leap over last year. Not taking the Gnats game lightly,but the Dullaz game should be another classic drag out war and I am looking forward to that one. Bears should not be too tough even though it's away,so we are looking good for post season.

It really was(other than penalties). We saw "the machine" work as it should for the first time. Excellent time to start peaking

Well... I will throw some caution.   The Titans chose not to rush extra people yesterday for what seemed like 95% of the plays.  The plays where an extra rusher came in, I saw incomplete passes.  Our pass protection was phenomenal.   On the play where Brown knocked the defender down and was wide open... Hurts had about 10 seconds to wait for all of that, and no rusher was even anywhere close.   

While I do think teams game plan during the regular season towards their opponents...I also feel they try to run their own systems for the most part.    My concern for this offense...at some point here a defensive coordinator is just going to say " F#$$ it!"   I'm loading up the box and I'm sending extra guys in every play.   

You can see at this point there isn't anything to lose.    Our OL is too good to try to beat straight up. Our WRs are too good to give them time to get open.   Throw up those jump balls and AJ is catching them off the defensive player's shoulder pads.   

If I'm a DC, I'm doing what Tampa did last year twice....and if we can beat it enough so be it.  But I expect more overload blitzes and coming outside of Lane pushing Hurts left.   Press coverage....at this point I would see if we can turn a slant into a long gain.   The standard stuff isn't working vs our guys.

I remember a Tuesday night game vs Minnesota...where Vick went from MVP candidate to looking helpless after that when Minnesota just kept sending in a DB blitz from his left forcing him to go right to his non throwing side.    They did it every play.   That was the " blueprint" to stop Vick.  I'm confused as to why nobody is doing what Tampa did last year.  Detroit did it some, but didn't really commit to it. Nobody else has even tried. 

Now the difference I see with this current team vs that 2010 team with Vick and co.   AJ can get off press way better than those smaller finesse WRs...and our OL is way more physical in run blocking than it was under Reid or Chip.  That will be problems in addition to the similar skill set running the ball that the QBs have.   Plus I will add that Hurts to me is probably the most accurate short passer that I've seen as an Eagles QB... if I has to pick one to throw a slant or bubble screen to where the YAC will come.. I would pick Hurts all day over anyone post Jaws.  Foles would be my second choice in that group.   

Some people take that as an insult because it's" short throws" , but I feel accuracy and quickness in throwing motion on the short throws is a key element in playing QB... Montana, Brady,  Brees, Marino....all these guys had that ability. 

On another note, hoping for a TB win with total points 40-45 so I win the football pool

All true, however if we get a consistent "gang rush" we can roll Hurts out to run. We can also kill them with screens to RB's(and Goedert if he is back). So this team presents multiple problems for DC's. You CAN use "over pursuit" to your advantage if you know how to adjust and while I can see more teams trying blitz's if we make them pay,they will back off that pretty quickly. This would be a great learning experience for Hurts.This is an excellent post though and it's a point we need to plan for. The issue is,name ONE team that has the personnel to do what you said. I can't think of any at all. You cover everyone and Quez is wide open. We have too any weapons,Hurts just needs to get the ball out

GB....if ...if ...if...  we can counter with plenty of things...but we won't see a counter until we see the defense change things first.   

While I'm all for beating the teams we should,  and taking advantage of the other teams unwillingness to try things.. it would be helpful to try some counters before the playoffs... if nobody tries anything different before then, it's not going to help us much.

I think they will try everything under the sun in the Dullaz game(blitzing LB's cause they have good ones) so I think that game is pivotal in that regard. They have an offense to deal with. Defense is not terrible. I'm still SMH how we lost to the wuss

You are a DC playing the Eagles.... are you sitting there playing standard 4 man rush and off coverage because you are " afraid" ???    We light up the scoreboard when teams play soft.   

For me, I'll take my chances giving up big plays and then at least you get our offense off the field.  The way teams are playing us, it's right into our hands as we control the ball all game.

I was also pleased to see that Hurts never panics. Ham DID point THAT out and now I am seeing it(credit where it is due). He stays cool,forgets bad plays quickly and keeps working. So for me that is a great quality. Even if teams get to him at times,he will stay calm and adjust

Because we turned the ball over and couldn't stop their run game.  Not hard to see that.

What was Hurts going to panic??? He had 10 seconds to throw the ball most of the time???

Yeah,but I thought we could make all that up lol. Oh well,every team has a stinker game,glad that is out of the way

Baker Mayfield released

And NO

When you have all day to throw and your guys are dominating the battle on the outside...why would you panic?

He bounced a TD pass off of the defenders shoulder pads?   You throw that ball and it ends up a TD...what would make you panic after that?

I seriously hope we clean up the BS penalties. WAY too many yards given away(and it's not the first time). We can't give the better teams first downs on penalties,that's a killer

He should go back to Cleveland, Watson looks like crap. Another case where the Browns nuke themselves(and I say this every year LOL)
