It’s weird that it’s reasonable for once..

eh. the only egregious mistake was the missed facemask but they scored on the very next play anyway so thats a wash.

Cannot overlook how well Rocker has the IDL prepared. 

Is that a flying saucer?  I get it.

Meh, feels like opposing teams complain about the refs all the time. It’s just absurdly stupid to do so and they are flat out wrong. 

Last night atleast they weren’t completely wrong. Better?

Just watched KC vs. SD... so nice having Desai.

I'm really hurting today.  The Phillies need to clinch tonight because I don't know how much more my liver can take.

Collinsworth pointed out a few times that Miami had receivers in the same basic area multiple times.   They got away with it most of the time, but the Slay INT was 100% the result of a bad play design, or terrible execution.  No way Slay should have been able to come off his guy so easily to make that INT.

Reddick isn’t playing with one thumb, Carter has more experience, Sweat’s toe seems better, Davis is playing better and better and Cunningham has more experience with the D now.  

You are giving excuses/reasons for why it happened.   I merely pointed out that it happened and they need to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Nice getting that win and I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but they were without 2 or 3 starting OL, 2 pro bowl corners, starting RB, they lost the LB during the game with concussion, and Hill dropped an easy TD that would have made the game a lot closer.  need to keep winning to get that homefield advantage in colder months

Glass half full - the defensive concepts from this game are very much aligned to the upcoming SF matchup.

You don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but exactly one lol

Never complain about getting wins because they had guys out

Real loser energy. 

Watch that closely Mike.  If Slay doesn’t intercept it, Cunningham is going to commit DPI.  But as it played out, Slay stepped into the pass just a smidge before Cunningham makes contact, making it a great block by Cunningham on change of possession.  Cunningham doesn’t make contact before but was positioned so the Miami receiver couldn’t get back to the ball.  Maybe look at that great catch by Brown, Mike, and comment on how he played through the DB grabbing on his jersey.  That was at least defensive holding and not called. The Cunningham play was perfect timing.  

Eagles have more sacks at this point in the season than they did last year.

Eagles were without 1 starting OL, and had another that was gimpy.
Eagles were without 2 starting safeties.
Eagles have been and still are down their starting nickel.
Eagles added Julio Jones 5 days ago.
Eagles added Josiah Scott 5 days ago.

 

The point is... Both teams had issues going into the game, and when the Eagles play the 49ers, that will be true again.

Phillies start at 5PM EDT.   So, that should help a little.  The Rangers winning last night means that they play at 8PM.

 

 

BUT, these late night games are adding up.  I am tired and grumpy. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually I'm just grumpy.

I know last year the Eagles had a historic DL, but man this DL is even better. They are just monsters against the run and still have a great pass rush.

That's crazy.  @hputenis and @EaglePhan1986 both have had more sacks at this point this year compared to last as well!

And Nolan Smith has barely joined the party...just wait!

I think Jalen got hurt in that Rams game

well, The Birds also had guys out... guys playing hurt.  thats part of football. The Birds would play better too with Maddox, Blankenship and Jurgens healthy and playing....  

 

OUT

1) Jurgens on IR

2) Blankenship - out

3) Roby- out

4) Watkins - IR

5) Maddox - IR

6) Evans - IR

7) Bradley - IR

 

Playing Hurt

1) Johnson

2) Hurts

3) Smith

 

They're gambling with Lane. Might be better to rest him until he's actually 100% so he's healthy for the playoffs

But McDaniels is a genius isn't he?

I honestly thought if Slay didn't pick that ball they might have called DPI on Cunningham.

Was it confirmed that Hurts is injured? I know people are speculating because of his play
