Eagles Vs Redskins Game Ball

For the first time in a month, the Eagles get a win and we can finally celebrate our game ball post, rather than lament it. While there were a number of guys who played well, I think the game ball has to come down to two guys.
LeSean McCoy, or as El Donkerino called him "Shadynasty" which is an awesome Always Sunny reference. He carried the ball a whopping 28 times for 126 yards and a TD. He also had the highlight of the day with his gut punch to Andy Reid.
Kurt Coleman just had an overall monster game. We all know about the three picks, but Peter King pointed out some of Coleman's other contributions in his MMQB column today where he named Coleman his defensive player of the week.
And not just for his three important interceptions -- one when FedEx Field was rocking and the Eagles were trying to hand the game back to Washington. But for his two additional passes broken up at critical times when the Redskins were fighting to get back into the game, and his team-high seven tackles. Not bad for a guy who's been in and out of the lineup for inconsistent play.

Great comeback by Coleman.
ShaDynasty does it every week, so Coleman gets this one. He played just as well in the running game, tackling in the box than getting INTs. They absolutely need that kind of play from their box safety to be successful in this system.

Have to vent
Cowherd is insufferable again today. Jesus he rides the cowboys dicks.
Back on track. McCoy is Westbrook 1.9998.

Damn I’m sorry I missed that. I always love to hear how much he sucks up to the Cowboys over and over. I’ve grown to love it.
The dude sticks by his guns no matter what though. Once he picks a team for a season he goes down with them. Season to season he picks different teams though. Even when the Eagles were 1-3 he had them has the 8th best team in the NFL. He also picked them to win the division.
The Jruth shall be told.
Lol pack. He says he feels better about them today after the loss then he did on Friday. Says they’ll run away w the division over next 2 months. He may stick to his guns buy it’s od

Ehh.. i also had the supreme privilege of getting to hear cowherd today. He is right up there with skip bayless with the drivel he spews out daily. I have never heard someone contradict themselves so many times in one sitting. It was hard to listen to. He just got done bashing other teams for doing certain things, then goes on to praise the cowboys for making the same decisions.. he is such a douche bag.
When I die, I want the Philadelphia Eagles to be the pallbearers at my funeral. So they can let me down, one last time.
Coleman ended two potential scoring drives. My vote goes to him.

I think Grossman should get the gameball…but he’d just throw it to Kurt Coleman, so my vote goes to Coleman.

Nice.
I saw a stat on twitter that Rex Grossman’s quarterback rating was the 4th worst of his career. He had a 26 something and thats only 4th worst. I wish we could play the Sex Cannon every week.
Let the beasting begin.

at one point in the game, he was a 17.something. It was a bad day for him.

Herremans for one. And Nate Allen who complimented Coleman very well…made our biggest concern at safety look like its one of our strongest positions

Winston Justice
looked solid. Not game ball worthy, but it was good to see him holding his own
No doubt.
I told the crew yesterday at the sportsbar he was gonna get a TD .Hes kinda faded away from the offensive gameplan and we needed to switch shit up.

It’s amazing what some solid safety play does for this defense. Allen had some nice plays too. I think if Coleman and Allen can continue to play well we’ll be great. Keep Nnamdi and DRC/Asante in man, let the safeties do their thing, and force them to beat you on the ground.

Coleman..
Did good, and I’m pretty sure Shaddy has gotten the game ball the other 5 weeks of the season..
I don’t want to be that guy, but keep in mind that Coleman’s biggest problem is his consistency. Can you play like this for the remainder of the year? Let’s hope so.

Since he’s been an Eagle, he’s been a lot more consistent playing at SS. Most of his screw ups were at FS.
On a side note. Im really happy that Landri is back on the team. Man that guy never stops…. he keeps tackling guys down/up the field on run plays…

I think so.
Sometimes all it takes is one game to wake up. Nate Allen has been steadily improving as well,and I expect this duo to be around a while.

Kurt
Had a breakout game. Career high in just about every category for him. He had crucial interceptions. He gets the game ball.
Also, I’m so glad I watched last week’s episode of Always Sunny last night or it would have driven me nuts that I didn’t get the reference. ShaDynasty. Brilliant.

I can only hope this wasn't a streak of luck for Coleman
This was a huge game and now he has a lot to live up to, knowing his potential. In and out of our Defense and he comes up with a big game. I can only hope he stays at this level for the rest of the season. He was the game changer for sure. This shouldn’t even be close.
"I'm Cracking Eggs of Wisdom!"
Coleman was really good in the preseason.
I couldnt understand what happened once the regular season started. Changed scheme, different roles, or was he just up against some backup WRs that he was able to make plays. Whatever it is/was, I hope this gives him the confidence to keep up at this level of play. He has shown the promise, now its time to shine!

i wonder how much nate’s knee injury affected him early in the season?
with Page in there to cover for nate, they might have had different responsibilities. now that nate is back, kurt is playing better.

I think he was trying to say:
“Watch: He’ll do something against Dallas that will make us hate him.” Don’t know which player he’s referring to or why he thought this was relevant, but that’s what I’m getting out of that attempt at a sentence.

First time since ( I Think ) 1966...
That an Eagle got three picks in a game. It has to be Coleman.
I'm not drunk I'm just drinking.
Coleman in a landslide.

I GOT MENTIONED ON THE FRONT PAGE!
Sorry, had to…
El Donkerino (if you're not into the whole brevity thing).
I miss me some Brian Dawkins :( ... but Coleman played pretty good

On to the topic...
Shady is always a candidate for the game ball. Week to week he is consistent (when given the carries). That being said, this week belongs to Coleman. He played straight up beastly. I know he got flagged for a hit, but it was a big intense hit, and it sent a message.

OH NO
Gruden extended his deal with ESPN.
What crappy coach will we talk about replacing Reid with now? What rumors about late night dinner meetings can be started now?
A sad, sad day.
Eagles: 2-4, Let's start the run!
Flyers: Good start
Phillies: Sigh
Awesome Awesome Day
Thanks for this great news.. now maybe we can put the bed the speculation that we’ll that dumbass as our coach next year.
Coleman
His pick after Vince Young made that horrible decision may have saved this season. If the skins scored on that possession could have been a whole different outcome.

When I saw Vick on the sideline with the trainers presumably testing him for a concussion, I was convinced the season would be over if he did not get back into the game. The Eagles O would punt fast on every possession and WAS would have too many chances to take over the game. I was so relieved when Vick came back in the game. Despite not scoring again, Vick still lead some drives that took time off the clock and flipped field position.
Coleman
He had a career game yesterday. 3 INTs in a game when he had 1 career INT in 22 games coming into yesterday. M
It has to be Coleman, especially since the defense played basically a whole game, whereas the offense only put together a solid half (although that’s not Shady’s fault).
Hopefully he can play more consistent the rest of the season—and hopefully the Eagles keep him where he is and don’t screw around too much flipping those safety spots.
Far from over
Well, it was a pleasant win yesterday and Coleman’s performance was impressive. I find it interesting that the coaching seems to follow the criticism a bit in the posts here and elsewhere. I guess what I am trying to say is that the consensus last week in blogville was that anybody would have been better at safety than the way Page was playing and whether injury excuse or whatever, Coleman goes back in and has a monster game. And also some different defensive sets in the line to stop the run were employed. That has been being screamed for a while here as well. The next three games are being billed as “winnable”, but they are going to require the same kind of effort from all that Kurt gave in this one. It’d be nice to see the offense score in the second half as well.
While Coleman HAS to get my vote because he single handedly
saved 2 potential scoring drives and was a Redskin Killer yesterday… I do have to mention Herremans who had a GREAT game yesterday.
Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...
Wild_Eagle!
Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

He should change the spelling to: ShaDynasty, to emphasize the Dynasty portion, otherwise it just sounds like a cheap hooker name.

Let's not get carried away just yet.
Coleman was prolific yesterday, but Grossman was that bad, also. He was overthrowing receivers all day, and his ball looked worse in the air than Eli’s! Having said that, this was a HUGE day for the Eagles secondary, and the defense as a whole really stepped up today. I am proud of my Birds.
