Goals for second half:

1) Stop sucking on Defense
2) Stop sucking on Special Teams.

3) Remind Kyle Orton that he is not Joe Montana.

Awful football all around in the 1st half. We are lucky to be a touchdown away.

If they look the same way in the 2nd half I am gonna be really worried about them.

Sloppiest

Sloppiest half of football we have played so far… It would be nice if we could cover

This is not like I thought it would be.

This seems like it’s just that occasional complete meltdown of a game that the Andy Reid Eagles tend to have some times.

Completely sloppy. Kyle Orton is either much better than I thought he was, or our pass defense is TERRIBLE.

Andy Reid, go for it on 4th down once in a fucking while. Did ANYONE think Akers had a prayer at a 50-yarder? I would have punted before letting Akers try a 50 yarder.

I'd like to add +1 to Jasons post in last thread

Points off of turnovers is a major difference in this game

by Whodie126 on Sep 28, 2008 10:01 PM EDT   0 recs

Yup. THey got 7 points and we went 3 and out…

This is the typical game that the Eagles should win, but don’t (or almost don’t)

by LeonSA on Sep 28, 2008 10:04 PM EDT   0 recs

hey Leon

glad to see you are staying up for this atrocity

by Whodie126 on Sep 28, 2008 10:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

agree Leon, they have two or three of these every season … give or take

by D3Keith on Sep 28, 2008 10:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Man we can't start the season 2-2.

Especially with the Redskins coming to town off of their win at Dallas.

we have to establish a runnin game. our secondary needs to cover the SORRY WR core of the bears. we have their runnin game stuffed

Hi there. Actually I am pretty optimistic about our prospects in this game. just frustrated with the first half.

by FuquaManuel on Sep 28, 2008 10:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

As Sabonis said in the 1st half, to play that bad and only be down 7 is good news

If, of course, they can get it straightened out in the second half. Could certainly be worse right now.

by D3Keith on Sep 28, 2008 10:12 PM EDT   0 recs

Believe it or not, I’ve gravitated over the years to where I have a lot of faith in the coaching staff.

This just has the feeling of those eggs they lay every once in a while (thinking Tennessee, Jacksonville a couple years ago, Chicago last year)

Granted they’re shorthanded, but it’s the sloppiness I guess … I can live with them getting outplayed if they give a good effort.

by D3Keith on Sep 28, 2008 10:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I've got a confession

The Eagles are 0-5 in the last 5 games I’ve watched. That’s the last 5 prime time games. My superstition is mounting…

by LeonSA on Sep 28, 2008 10:14 PM EDT   0 recs

I’m hoping that the confession breaks the curse.

I was traveling for work during the Rams and Steelers games, but I was home for the Cowboys. Shit, I should have asked to go to a conference this weekend.

That was fear from Jackson

not a good sign … looks like the rook is shook

by Whodie126 on Sep 28, 2008 10:16 PM EDT   0 recs

That’s alright though, I’d rather have him be a little cautious and not give up a turnover

by thwalls on Sep 28, 2008 10:17 PM EDT   0 recs

d-jax

is definatly shaken up…#5 should throw him a couple easy catches to clear him up

Hello

I’m nice, I promise. I’m a Giants fan, but a Cal student, so I just wanted to hear what you guys had to say about DeSean/MeSean…

seems like he just screwed up bad there, though.

by NYinCalifornia on Sep 28, 2008 10:20 PM EDT   0 recs

WHAT THE FUCK?

by FuquaManuel on Sep 28, 2008 10:20 PM EDT   0 recs

Usually when dude cocks back like that … Ah, replay shows DeSean running the wrong route.

And no Buck!?!?

by D3Keith on Sep 28, 2008 10:21 PM EDT   0 recs

This is pathetic. Really. All around. Way to get up for this game guys. Really.

by FuquaManuel on Sep 28, 2008 10:21 PM EDT   0 recs

Oh that’s just awful. Please get up Buck. That throw is on McNabb.

by LeonSA on Sep 28, 2008 10:21 PM EDT   0 recs

no good

buck is down, and d-jax is rattled mentally back…D-Jax ran a bad route…very good pass by #5, but DeSean went the wrong way

  1. does not throw INTs directly into the chest of defenders.

What the hell? that was supposed to say “#5”

Destroyer of Subject Lines :3™

by yomjoseki on Sep 28, 2008 10:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

what could #5 do,

the play was for DeSean to run forward. DeSean ran the wrong route. the pas was actually very good

Homo is Romo

by anuj on Sep 28, 2008 10:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That’s what I’m saying. I don’t think it was McNabb’s fault.

So much stuff going wrong this would be awesome if they somehow pull it out/grind it out.

by D3Keith on Sep 28, 2008 10:22 PM EDT   0 recs

If this is the 2008-09 Eagles, I am revising my prediction to 8-8.

They look too much like last season.

by FuquaManuel on Sep 28, 2008 10:22 PM EDT   0 recs

Take a close look at the upcoming schedule.

by D3Keith on Sep 28, 2008 10:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

been thinking that since the first drive.

Prove me wrong any minute guys!
