Eagles Defense Dominates In 26-10 Win Over Dolphins

in Philadelphia Eagles Game Recaps
Email
PrintThe Eagles put forth one of their best defensive efforts of the season and got two TDs from LeSean McCoy as they downed the Dolphins 26-10 at Sun Life Stadium. The win moves the Eagles to 5-8 and keeps their small playoff hopes alive.
The Eagles defense was everything they weren't on the Thursday night game in Seattle. In that game, Marshawn Lynch was running all over them and the defense could do nothing to stop him nor could they force a turnover. This afternoon against Miami, the Eagles were rock solid in short yardage and forced three Miami turnovers leading to 17 Eagles points. To top it all off, they also scored 2 points with a safety.
How good were the Eagles in short yardage? They stuffed Miami on two 3rd & 1s, two 4th & 1s, a 3rd and 3, a 2nd & goal from the 2 & a 3rd and goal from the 2. The D also registered a season high nine sacks, their highest total since a 2008 game against the Steelers. The defense was so stifling today that after the Brandon Marshall TD catch in the first quarter, nearly 35 minutes of game time would go by before the Dolphins would score again.
On offense, LeSean McCoy keeps rushing toward history with two more scores today. He now needs just one more rushing TD this season to equal Steve Van Buren's franchise record of 14, which has stood since 1945. Also. one more receiving or rushing TD would tie McCoy with Van Buren for the most total TDs in a season. With three and a half games left, it seems as though McCoy is very likely to own both franchise records before the end of the season.
McCoy's two TDs today are even more impressive coming against the Dolphins, who have one of the best run defenses in football. Prior to this game, they had allowed just three rushing TDs all season. McCoy is also the first RB with two rushing TDs in a game against Dolphins since Fred Jackson in 2009. Of course, this is not to say it was a great day for McCoy overall, who aside from the two TDs, had a very frustrating afternoon. The Eagles offensive line was completely dominated in both the pass and the run. McCoy had defenders in the backfield on most plays and could only manage 38 yards on 27 carries. The line wasn't much better against the pass as Michael Vick was sacked four times and forced to make at least two or three of those patented impossible Vick escapes.
Overall it was a comfortable win by the Eagles and one that at least keeps them in the playoff hunt for what that's worth. The Eagles still need to win out to have any shot. The Giants beating the Cowboys tonight would also help.

teams like carolina get great draft picks every year and still suck
teams like new england and pittsburgh get low picks every year and are always in the running for the superbowl
draft picks don’t = success. it’s what you do with them.
You seem like you need a new team
Cowboys seem like a good fit for u!

Some people don't understand the importance of winning.
They think losing out will help the draft position, but all that means is teaching a newbie to play Eagles football. It is awesome for the boys wearing green to get this win now to help them in the future.
I often tell my teams to move on to more productive work as business priorities change. W’s are now less desireable than L’s from a strategic standpoint and I want to be in the best possible position for the draft. That high pick can make a huge difference when Howie gets to horse-tradin’.
Whoever you are, when I log off, you cease to exist.

Complete nonsense
You can’t even begin to make that comparison. You have never told your employees to fail at their jobs. That is what you want the Eagles to do and that’s just ridiculous.
Now, I get that you might prefer to see a loss for the better pick. But to suggest the team should someone be hoping for that… I’ve never heard something so ridiculous. There’s 53 guys and a coaching staff whose sole job is to win.

Good win
Defense played great. Started off a but slow, but man oh man Vick is so much better than Vince Young.
Like I said yesterday, until the Eagles are mathematically eliminated, I cannot and will not root for them to lose. It may be a long shot odds wise, but the Eagles path to the playoffs is clear.
If the Eagles win out, the Giants defeat Dallas twice while losing to both the Jets and Washington, the Eagles will win the NFC East and will face one of the merrily inconsistent teams fighting it out for the wild card.

Oh ok
Because when the Eagles went on a spending craze for all these veterans that haven’t done jack, I guess the answer is the draft. These excuses are stupid. We lost to the fucking Cards with Skelton at fucking home. You’re telling me the draft is going to change all that? Reid and his team need to learn and practice with the new system in the offseason and work their asses off.
He's not going anywhere
No point in being mad till the start of the 2012 season. He could lose the rest of the games and he’d still be HC for the Philadelphia Eagles
doesn't mean i have to like it
and if we lose 50+ to 0 the next three games i bet he gets fired so thats what i hope for

Vick outdueled Matt Moore and JP Losman
Now that I have had time to think about it, I’m not that impressed. I don’t think that win proved anything about the Eagles. I don’t think management can use any information from this game to make any decisions moving forward.
That's ridiculous
For one, you guys have to stop using Matt Moore as a punchline. The guy has played really well this year.
And second. Every game is a chance to learn something. There’s only 16 of these things. They’re all important.
And if you honestly didn’t see encouraging play from the defense, then you weren’t watching. Brian Rolle was great, Nate Allen made a great play one on one with Marshall in the end zone, Derek Landri had another big game. Plenty of stuff to be learned.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook.
Matt Moore is not a punchline. JP Losman, however, is.
Editor at SB Nation's Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game. Follow me on Twitter.
But seriously, I’m sure a lot of people thought John Skelton would be a punchline and look what happened there.
The big negative I take from this game was the offensive line had their first shocker of the season. And even though Matt Moore is not great (though not terrible) and Losman is in fact terrible, the Eagles had allowed terrible QBs (Skelton) to beat them before this season. That did not happen today. You can only beat who you are scheduled to play and the Eagles defense absolutely dominated today.
Another big positive from today is I do not believe anyone ended the game seriously injured. X-rays on Tapp were reportedly negative.
Editor at SB Nation's Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game. Follow me on Twitter.
Vick had no kind of blocking at all what so ever. Same with McCoy. I wont judge Vick from this game, just like I won’t judge McCoy from this game. Neither player had a fighting chance.

i love mccoy
but he needs to start running north to south instead of east and west. he lost a good chunk of yards today. and usually he is great at making something out of nothing. but sometimes he needs to just put his head down and run forward
pass pass pass punt
Also, Marty kept calling runs to the inside when the Dolphins were shooting those gaps...
The power runs to the outside were there for the taking but Marty didn’t figure it out.
It looked like it a few times when the whole Miami d was slamming the inside,
could of been wishful thinking…
No
McCoy had no where to go today. The run blocking was awful. North/South, East/West… it would have made no difference.
McCoy needs to continue doing exactly what he’s been doing.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook.
hey im not saying that he should change his way. but he just had a lot of negative plays today
pass pass pass punt
Which is to be expected when he’s got defenders in the backfield every play. The Dolphins don’t have a top 5 run defense by accident.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook.
another thing:
vick did not look very good. i know the o line did shitty today but that interception was awful.
pass pass pass punt
Not an excuse just an observation.
He played good enough to win and made a few negative plays into first downs, his blocking was pretty crappy but managed the game well enough. Now those are real excuses….lol.
I would trade Maclin and Djax for Jordy Nelson

They outsucked us in a lot of areas. They wanted the draft pick more than we did. Kudos to them.

I am just curious and I will preface this by saying I’d rather the Eagles lose to get a better pick, but if the game doesn’t matter for this season, which it really doesn’t, than why does wanting what is best for the team in the future such a bad thing?

Losing begets losing.
I would rather see a situation where the young guys get more of a chance to play and the Eagles win anyway – they gain confidence in their play knowing that they are good enough to win in the NFL today and tomorrow.
If the Eagles tank, or just lose out, then those young players lose confidence, and with that stunt their development (especially if they aren’t getting on the field anyway.) Most of these kids come from successful high school and college programs and I have a feeling that if they are used to winning they will respond better to it.

I’m confused. Which player or coach on the Eagles thought this game, and the rest of the season, doesn’t matter?
Anyways, defense looked lights out after the first drive, which was nice to see. Our offense was still pretty anemic, though, regardless of the score. We needed to run straight against the Dolphins, but most of our runs were outside, and their LB’s made us pay. I don’t expect Vick to look as mediocre next week, though.

Nice win...
Especially seeing the defense come together. Honesty it was more than that, the defense just played great period. Offensive line was… ugly. But we scored points, and kept them from scoring: results.
I don’t understand these high-pick/lose games people at all. Coming together as a team and improving their play going into the offseason will do a lot more good for this team team than sucking it up and getting a higher pick. Talented players coming into dysfunction equals… dysfunction and a new popular jersey. Yes, a high pick would be nice, but even nicer would be to see back-to-back games of winning football. That, and only that, would make me feel good about our chances next year. And, of course, I would love for it to come down to a situation where the NFC East playoff picture is determined the very last week of the regular season. In or out, that would be a greatday of football.

Happy with the win.
However, I would love if at some point the Eagles could play a complete game on both sides of the ball. One day, the D is fine but the offense sucks. Other days, it’s the reverse. And other times, one unit or the other will only play well for one half. It’s like they have schizophrenia. PLEASE STOP.

Seeing the Eagles win like that sort of pissed me off, not because it hurt our draft pick, but because it makes me think, “Where the hell was this defense all year?”. I know that Losman is not good but Moore has been decent this year and he did not do much while he was in there. Miami is not a good team I know but they were on a good run, and are no worse than Arizona or Seattle. This win just makes all of those losses earlier in the year even more frustrating.
Go Eagles!
