The Eagles squared off against the Cleveland Browns tonight, and, per usual, the internet was just about as entertaining as the game itself. Here are some of the best things that were tweeted throughout the evening.
I didn’t know the Browns still had this many fans. pic.twitter.com/ePAYBbTnMt

Cleveland still has a few fans, apparently
Nowhere to Chubb, nowhere to Hyde. I’ll show myself out

Puns for days
I can’t wait to watch Todd Haley lose his shit over this on Hard Knocks
— EROCK (@TheMightyEROCK) August 24, 2018
In response to the Eagles forcing the Browns to go 4 and out on the goal line
Nick Foles is just the best. So consistent, pleasing, refreshing, reliable, and overall just excellent.
— Lee Sifford (@LeeSifford) August 24, 2018
Wait, did I say Nick Foles? I mean to say beer.
YO wait did you guys know Nick Foles called the Philly Special??

Eagles are bound and determined to get out of here with a shutout pitched against them.

DeAndre who?
DeAndre Carter the starting punt returner #Eagles
— Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) August 24, 2018
DeAndre Carter getting first team slot WR snaps. #Eagles
— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) August 24, 2018
DeAndre Carter is Paul Turner, but with actual talent.
— Tommy Lawlor (@lawlornfl) August 24, 2018
DeAndre Carter needed that badly. Liking his game.
— Michael Kist (@MichaelKistNFL) August 24, 2018
In response to Carter’s big punt return
DeAndre Carter has 8 catches for 141 yards, and 2 punt returns for 28 yards this preseason. He’s played his way onto the team. #Eagles
— Andrew DiCecco (@adicecco_5) August 24, 2018
Eagles offense:
Troy Aikman on the Eagles O-line: "I think this is the best offensive line in football"
— Lee Sifford (@LeeSifford) August 24, 2018
Vaitai got mauled by Myles Garrett. Dear lord.
— Mike Kaye (@mike_e_kaye) August 24, 2018
I’ll let you guess which play he was referring to.
#Eagles have Ertz and Goedert on the field together. Guessing you will see that look a lot this season
— Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) August 24, 2018
3x1 and you get Goedert on a LB, Ertz gets open vs a DB. Eagles 2nd in 12 personnel passing frequency last year (57%) because of sets and matchups like these.
— Michael Kist (@MichaelKistNFL) August 24, 2018
Dallas Goedert’s role in 2018 will be so much bigger than people think. He’s a stud TE in a scheme that utilizes two TE sets often.
— Tyler Steege (@TSteegeNFL) August 24, 2018
Big year ahead for the rook.
It's okay... Even Tom Brady let's one slip out of his hands from time to time.
— Lee Sifford (@LeeSifford) August 24, 2018
In response to Foles fumbling the ball.
YAC ERTZ!
— Michael Kist (@MichaelKistNFL) August 24, 2018
#Eagles injury report: OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai, pride and reputation, doubtful to return
— Benjamin Solak (@BenjaminSolak) August 24, 2018
Big V can’t take anymore.
Isaac Seumalo has filled in for hurt players at 3 positions tonight.
— Jimmy Kempski (@JimmyKempski) August 24, 2018
i agree with Aikman. if Foles starts over Wentz, Vaitai starts over Peters, Smallwood and Jones start over Ajayi and Sproles, and Jeffrey and Agholor don't play, you do have to worry about the offense in week 1
— the guy (@theguyotc) August 24, 2018
Wendell Smallwood had all but one of the HB snaps for the Eagles in the 1st half.
— Nathan Jahnke (@PFF_NateJahnke) August 24, 2018
Eagles Defense:
Michael Bennett continues to only see snaps with the Eagles 1st team as an interior rusher on 3rd and long. Once Brandon Graham is healthy, expect to see plenty of Graham-Bennett-Cox-Barnett
— Nathan Jahnke (@PFF_NateJahnke) August 24, 2018
Strong play by Derek Barnett
— Les Bowen (@LesBowen) August 24, 2018
One of many
I don’t think Fletcher Cox was joking around when he said he’s aiming for Defensive Player of the Year. #Eagles
— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) August 24, 2018
Fletcher Cox leads the league in manhandles per game. Dude can rag doll giant humans like nobody else
— Sam Monson (@PFF_Sam) August 24, 2018
Bruce Hector starting at DT over Elijah Qualls. Looks good out there.
— Benjamin Solak (@BenjaminSolak) August 24, 2018
Sidney Jones:
Sidney Jones at slot CB for the second straight drive to start the game. #Eagles
— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) August 24, 2018
Major storyline for the Eagles this season:
— Steve Palazzolo (@PFF_Steve) August 24, 2018
Sidney Jones' ability to cover the slot
That was a good chance for Sidney Jones to create some space between him and Avonte Maddox. Was targeted twice in the red zone. Both incompletions. #Eagles
— Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) August 24, 2018
Matt Jones:
Gonna go out on a limb and say Matt Jones isn’t making the Eagles 53-man roster.
— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) August 24, 2018
Can they lock Matt Jones in one of those Cleveland Browns Bud Light coolers until the Eagles score a touchdown?
— EROCK (@TheMightyEROCK) August 24, 2018
Matt Jones tomorrow morning while team is practicing. #RedTagged pic.twitter.com/sHexXfxCXo

Nick Foles:
Nick Foles makes the dumbest plays in the world in the best way
— Benjamin Solak (@BenjaminSolak) August 24, 2018
I mean, he’s not wrong...
Nick Foles is just the best. So consistent, pleasing, refreshing, reliable, and overall just excellent.
— Lee Sifford (@LeeSifford) August 24, 2018
Wait, did I say Nick Foles? I mean to say beer.
YO wait did you guys know Nick Foles called the Philly Special??

"I'm done" - Coach Pederson on Nick Foles

Doug Pederson was pissed with that poor first half showing against the Browns. #Eagles pic.twitter.com/qURrOudYYb

Nick Foles 2018 preseason stats
— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) August 24, 2018
16 of 26, 171 yards (6.6 avg), 0 TD, 2 INT, 48.7 passer rating
Plus: 2 fumbles lost (one recovered for TD), 1 safety taken, 6 sacks taken #Eagles
Woof.
Nate STUDfeld:
Someone tell Nate Sudfeld to quit doing his Nick Foles impression.
— Tommy Lawlor (@lawlornfl) August 24, 2018
Nate Sudfeld is going to be a starter in this league at some point, me thinks.
— Mike Kaye (@mike_e_kaye) August 24, 2018
Nate Sudfeld is the preseason leader in #BigTimeThrows
— Steve Palazzolo (@PFF_Steve) August 24, 2018
STUDFELD.

Nate Sudfeld has a legitimate set of starting QB skills. #Eagles
— Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) August 24, 2018
Avonte Maddox:
Avonte Maddox really wants that starting slot role. Making his case today. Nice interception there. #Eagles
— Brendan Walker (@BWalkerNFL) August 24, 2018
IT'S THE DREADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Lee Sifford (@LeeSifford) August 24, 2018
We all know what makes a CB
Maddox gonna get heckled for not housing that.

Josh Adams:
If you turn to your right, the Josh Adams bandwagon is approaching.
— Lee Sifford (@LeeSifford) August 24, 2018
Love love love Josh Adams. Still have no clue how he went undrafted.
— Mike Clay (@MikeClayNFL) August 24, 2018
❤️Josh Adams❤️
— Ben Natan (@TheBenNatan) August 24, 2018
Adams just went beast mode
— BleedingGreenNation (@BleedingGreen) August 24, 2018
Josh Adams: confirmed good at following blockers. RB4 is his.
— Benjamin Solak (@BenjaminSolak) August 24, 2018
Corey Clement last year. Josh Adams this year.
— Joe Giglio (@JoeGiglioSports) August 24, 2018
Eagles playing chess, rest of the NFL playing checkers with undrafted backs.
Jake “Not David Akers” Elliot:
Jake Elliott with a miss from 33 yards out. Missed one of those last week as well. #Eagles
— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) August 24, 2018
Jason Peters would like to have a word with Mr. Elliott
— Justin Grasso (@JGrasso_) August 24, 2018
Uh oh...
Jake Elliott in midseason form.
— Tyler Steege (@TSteegeNFL) August 24, 2018
Just missed a 33 yard field goal.
Smh.
Jake “I make 60+ yard field goals and clutch Super Bowl kicks, but not simple 30 yard field goals in a preseason game” Elliott.
— Eagles Fans SB Champs (@NoPhlyZone5) August 24, 2018
Can’t forget the most important position on the team:
That Cameron Johnston punt went for 60 yards btw. #Eagles #punterupdate
— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) August 24, 2018
Cameron Johnston only has 2 punts tonight. One went for 60 yards. The other pinned CLE deep. CJ is helping his cause.
