Philadelphia Eagles Week 6 Game Balls - Take A Bow King Dunlap

I have been hard on them both this season and not that they didn’t deserve it. But I always say if you are going to kick thier ass when they play bad, you have to pat their backs when they play well. Dunlap obviously had help on Abraham. Those two end arounds were run for the main reason of making sure he had another assignment to worry about other than rushing the QB. We also chipped several times with McCoy, and motioned Celek over a handful of times to push him out further. But taking nothing away from Dunlap, he played well.

Kolb played amazing. Actually, the playcalling was what really impressed me the most. This is the type of creativity that, when mixed with the speed and talent at the speed positions, will make our offense nearly unstoppable. I need to see more of this. But Kolb was accurate with throws of every distance, was efficient, and commanded the offense like a veteran. The O Line protected tremendously, and I saw a few times that I would have liked him to audible out of the run or at least flip it to the weak side, but he understood the OLine’s protection and helped them with his pocket movement.

This was a great win. We didn’t have a win this big all last season. Many of the “experts” had Atlanta as the best team in the NFC and most picked Atlanta to win this game.

The entire NFL is up for grabs.

The Seahawks beat the Bears and the supposedly-dominant Giants struggled to beat the Lions, who were using their 3rd QB.

The Eagles are a fun team to watch, but they’re confusing. You watch them against Washington and you think, “okay, 8-8 team, rebuilding, whatever.”

Watch them against the Falcons and you think, “this is a playoff-caliber team.”

I wish I knew for sure which one was actually true.

But, great job to the boys today, a phenomenal performance by Kevin, and by the way…

Jeremy Maclyn is good.

Jeremy Maclyn is good.

It’s Maclin, not Maclyn (5,4,3,2,1)

As impressed and thrilled I am with Kolb’s continued progression, the fact that Dunlap didn’t get absolutely owned was the highlight of the day for me.

HATS OFF TO KING….

I’m giving mine to King since everybody thought he would be the reason we would lose. I believe I was the only one on here that said with a week of practice as a starter he could have a good game. If there was somebody else I apologize for leaving you out.

Have to be quiet after this game. To take King freaking Dunlap and have him play this well? That’s pretty amazing.

mine were so low for dunlap. he performed at higher level and held abraham in check, allowing kolb time.

the difference between expectations and performance was higher than anyone listed. ergo, dunlap wins this one by a mile.

or look at it another way: what if dunlap sucked?

Tra Thomas hinted that he thought the Eagles should start Dunlap even is Peters is healthy. He said there’s something to be said about someone who works that hard to overcome criticism and appears to actually be out there to play. I can’t say that I fully agree with him (at this point), but tell you what….Peters is well, overrated….Maybe we have yet to see the true potential of King Dunlap (insert Mr. Justice). Pretty powerful statement though, coming from the mouth of a 3 time prob bowler….

on Dunlap as a starter but a capable backup yes. Kolb tore the Falcons apart, but the falcons defense was terrible (how were they 4-1)?

As far as Kolb, there were a couple of passes where instead of making a completion for a 1-2 yard gain and a big hit to his WR he threw it away…..the one time that didn’t happen was to Jackson (knocked the air out of the stadium) but I believe it would have been close to a first down. Also Kolb only really forced 2 balls, one which was near the endzone where he tried to fit it through 3 guys fell incomplete and the other was the pick. Overall good decisions great game!

Trent Cole was EVERYWHERE teams just can’t stop him

Tapp? He was all the hell over the place yesterday.

Good pressure, chased down Roddy White, made an amazing play to stop Ryan on a 3rd down scramble.

I think Tapp was nearly as effective as Cole overall, and he did it with limited playtime and against someone other than Baker.

Trent Cole –

He was a beast today.

When is he not? With that said, Graham has been quite disappointing so far.

these same fans were calling for dunlap to be cut and to start austin howard .. u change ur opinion in one game .. thats rediculous .. max is starting and hes the man .. and herremans sucks and i will continue to call him over rated .. i dont change from game to game like u guys ..
