PrintPhiladelphia Eagles at Seattle Seahawks, Nov 2, 2008 4:15 PM EST
Location: Qwest Field - Seattle, Washington
Time: 4:15 pm E
TV: FOX
Radio: 94.1 WYSP, 610 WIP, Sirius 126
Did you know?
Without Matt Hasselbeck, the Seattle offense has averaged around 200 yards and just 11 first downs per game.
Bottom Line
The Eagles are 6.5 point favorites on the road here. That's pretty big. A loss here against a team that's been ravaged by injuries and has not played well would be a killer blow for our hopes of yet another parade this year... The Eagles are big favorites for a reason, they should win this game.

I have decided to suspend my "why I hate" threads...
will still do them for divisional games
"Watching Big Ben kiss the canvas nine times in Philly was like watching a guy fighting a school of sharks -- with everyone rooting for the sharks."
Ok.
let’s go.

Nice one Lito ...
really making your case there
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
Dawk needs to retire
I hate to say it, but its not even debateable
"Watching Big Ben kiss the canvas nine times in Philly was like watching a guy fighting a school of sharks -- with everyone rooting for the sharks."
This is just what I was afraid of… the Eagles are believing their own hype in the media and looking past this team.
MCNABB OUT
seriously just once can you friggin start without your head in your ass
"Watching Big Ben kiss the canvas nine times in Philly was like watching a guy fighting a school of sharks -- with everyone rooting for the sharks."
ITs because we're so predictable
I been saying this for so long … we dont have a balance and we’re not consistent. i said it last week and i was crucified. i hate to say it, but i’m right.
we will still win this game
but i’m just tired of this crap every week.
"Watching Big Ben kiss the canvas nine times in Philly was like watching a guy fighting a school of sharks -- with everyone rooting for the sharks."
So glad we got Asante ...
see Lito that is how CB is played … clown
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
I can’t watch the game, so is it the play calling, the seahawks D being that good, or just McNabb and the offense screwing the pooch??
This is why we needed TE Gonzalez . A good blocking TE would work wonders on this team. So would a true FB.
Plenty of time left for Seattle to break down our defense and pile on points while our offense re-learns how to play football.
Being realistic. It is also possible that we continue to suck and Seattle plays well. We are not invincible, and thus it is not a guarantee that we will suddenly start playing well. Andy Reid is our coach after all…

you know as well as I do that people said the same about Cholly.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
nice block there Hank ...

im still not high on the titans…i dont really know why…i just can ever trust a qb like kerry collins
one play
they have one 90 yard play…outside of that they’ve been shut down. we’re ok…last drive we moved the ball. mcnabb isn’t playing well, but it looked like last drive it started to click a little. calm down everyone…it’s early
of course one of those completions went to the Seahawks

And it was a completion in the endzone . . . Oh, wait.

Oh, the Titans are horribly ugly to watch but I’d rather watch ugly winning than ugly losing. The only teams that look really good have been the Giants and the Redskins to a lesser extent, but that’s just untenable.
Seneca Wallace makes some of the scariest passes ever
BTW, I stepped out, I forgot to say good luck

speaking of which they are working the Cowgirls.

Ryan, I know you're Canadian, and in the CFL, punting it into the end zone is a point but...
This is the NFL, stop it with the touchbacks.

dude not trying to be rude or anything ... yet ...
but why aren’t you over at FieldGulls.com instead of here where we don’t really care about your comments about the Seahawks?
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
No longer allowed at FG for being a nuisance, so over the last few weeks
I’ve been going to the opponent’s blog and getting plenty of respect and answering questions.
And no, I am not a troll, I’m not an obnoxious fan like that Cowboys person I noticed a few weeks back.

This is where Celek earns the starting role … IMHO he is 30 times better a receiver than LJ
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
I think the numbers back that up too…
his catch rate is way higher than lj’s

My 4-year-old is going nuts. I’m a terrible father for exposing her to the lifetime of misery that is being an Eagle fan.
Be honest, you hate him for that a little bit, don’t you?

I mean I was born in Philly so it was natural but my dad isn’t a football fan … he’s a basketball guy.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
I'm not surprised ... Brown is a good Wideout
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
He was the third pick in the second round…
perhaps a touch high, but that’s why they call it hindsight

recievers taken before him … Braylon Edwards
Troy Williamson
Mike Williams
Matt Jones
Mark Clayton
Roddy White
And notable receivers after were …
Vincent Jackson
Chris Henry
I’m cool with it … he was suppose to mentor under TO … laugh

How much do you wanna bet Andy drafts a Guard and a Tackle with the first round picks he’s hoarding? It’s almost as sure a bet as Andy not choosing a salad with his meal.
Hmm, what to do they need? A TE, certainly. I have a man-crush on Gresham from Oklahoma, but he could be a top 10 pick. An RB, but I can’t see them spending a #1 on that. Maybe a FS, pending the development of Demps. A tackle is probably the safest bet, though Dunlap and Herremans both showed promise at LT, there isn’t an obvious option at RT if Runyan retires.

I'm losing patience with this offense.....remember the run?

Shocking defense, fire John Marshall
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
I do not like anything about that call. If you’re going to throw it, go deep and run for it on 4th down.
You run on 3rd and 1 this time and I don't think they got it.
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
FUCKING RIGHT ANDY

Surely you have a fullback to get something like this?

Okay, I'm calling this game over.

Sir, if you’ve not noticed, this is an Eagles message board. If anyone here is going to evidence no faith in his team, it will be us.

they didn’t even know who that was …

What the heck Walrus? I hate this BS playcalling

I give up, Holmgren has to go, I'm fed up with this playcalling. At this point, he can go and wreck the 49ers and underuse Frank Gore.
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
Yo. We don’t give a shit! I don’t know if you have realize, but this is an eagles board. There has to be a board where you can chat with other Seahawks fans.
haha
he got kicked out … he even annoyed them
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
You know, I'm trying to be respectful instead of being the ultimate snob like some of the other fans I've seen here from the opposing team
I’m treating you guys with respect, I think you should do the same. That’s all I ask.
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
But the point is we really don’t give a shit about your team. So when you make comments like “the Seahawks should fire Holmgren” people here are only gonna be indifferent or annoyed.
Okay now I understand.
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
I don’t mind you being here; it’s nice to see somebody else who hates his team as much as we do. But just out of curiosity, why have you chosen to hang out with us? We’re not the kind of fanbase that shows respect for the opposition and just wants to see a good, clean game.

wow
Oakland has a wopping 19 yards after a whole half … Fargas is averaging -2.5 yards a rush … it could be a lot worse fellow Iggles fans

Nice catch there.

Poor pass from McNabb, now Akers will kick.

lol, +1 midnite.

Honestly
On 3rd and short, does this team know about plays like bootlegs, inside hand-offs, etc? You think Andy has ever heard of those?
One day ten years from now...
Andy Reid is going to wake up and say, “Man I should have tried something different on those 3rd and 1s”
Dawkins with a HUGE play. One of my fav players.
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
I don't think he was going to challenge, if he did..
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
My point was that, if he was going to burn the TO anyway, he should have taken his shot with a challenge. He almost certainly would have lost, but I’ve been surprised before.

"This is the deepest penetration the Seahawks have had." - Dick Stockton fittingly

Why does DeSean Jackson do that?
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
I know they’re down, but just going back a little bit, why oh why would they have gone for 4th and 10?
Because it’s a bit too far for a FG and a bit too close for a punt.

YEAH CELEK!!!!!
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
that is a ridiculous statement
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
again inside the 5 and we choke

Who is Ryan Westbrook, Dick Stockton?

This is a terrific Eagles defense, how are you 4-3....besides Andy Reid?
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
And then immediately he gets a big gain.
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
and now for my “glas is half empty” side
these FG’s are gonna help us against the Giants or Redskins
if only both teams could lose
"This world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in and I want to see that world"
i'm sooo disappointed in a lot of you
i was reading the comments, but hadn’t logged in to post in response up until this point.
i can’t believe how many switch sider fans we have on this site.
just the ridiculas shit that comes out of your mouths after 1 touchdown on us EARLY in the game is borderline upsetting.
to each your own i suppose…but if your going to be a fan, be a TRUE fucking fan.
i’m not sure which im more pissed about. the dnabb comments or whoever said their going to be a titans fan.
i could make this an essay long post, but i won’t.
i’m disappointed
4th and 26!!!!
i don't think the comments were that bad
"This world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in and I want to see that world"
so you’ve never gotten pissed off and said something you didn’t actually mean but needed to blow off some steam … I hope I can still sleep tonight knowing you are disappointed in me.
No disrespect intended but people get pissed off and need to yell and scream and rant
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
Did Dick Stockton just say the Cardinals were 2-6?
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
I think that was the first Eagles penalty of the game
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
Congratulations on the win guys, Philly was my pick to go to the NFC Title Game
Please get past the Cowboys permanently.
Meanwhile, every team has a down period, right? Seattle is facing a dark period ahead, not just the rest of the season, but for 4-5 years to come, I can only see 3-13 in the future over the coming years.
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
It will take a while, he will do it, but it will take a while.
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
Question
In your opinion, is Brent Celek really good or is Seattle’s pass defense really bad?
I’m inclined towards the first because no matter how bad Seattle’s PD was I doubt LJ could’ve put up these numbers.
Real quick hits:
Overall, did what they had to do against a bad team (no offense, SS Reporter).
The slow starts are really concerning me. If they start like this next week they’ll quickly find themselves down 14-0.
Nice to have Kevin Curtis back.
Who the hell is this Bruce Celek guy? (Don’t blame me, blame Mike Quick)
It’s not an Eagles w/o a dumb play from DJ.
What the $#%% was 5 thinking on that INT? Terrible read.
That T.O. by the Seahawks was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. Like one of you said, just one more chance for someone to tear an ACL w/absolutely nothing meaningful that could come from it.
C'mon, Andy. I want to riot, too.
No offense? I knew this team was bad from game 1, Seahawks nation is smart enough to realize we could have the first pick in the 2009 draft.
Signature? SIGNATURE?! Don't talk about SIGNATURE! I just hope I can write a sentence!
not sure I agree with you Brian,
I think our D needs to come out strong against the Gints…
I’d almost be willing to bet that our D outscores the Gnats O next week…
The question then is – Can our O outscore their D…
