OT: Philadelphia Eagles: Defending The Crown: 2018 Season Part Four

[magnumpi]

schwartz sucks

 

[achdumeingute]

No defensive TOs again.

No offense big play TDs.

Ugh.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Absolute nonsense.

I get it you're upset like the rest of us but come on

I mean there’s more evidence out there that he is Andy than that he isn’t.

But the 8-8 last year is an exaggeration.

 

[Sombastate]

This isn't the team of last year. That's ok, we saw a superbowl win

 

[Halladay]

Wentz missed the check down but why is there a checkdown? Why is the play designed to go to the endzone? Why is it not designed to get a 1st down?

They had a 4th and 1 against the Vikings where they threw it to Alshon about 10 yards instead of getting the 1st. He caught it, but they have done it before. This just isn't a good team. They were a very good team last year. The Jaguars are terrible so they might beat them.

 

[WIP CALLER]

Doug's the head coach, after the 20th time of watching Mills either completely blow coverage or give a 10 yard cushion to a wide receiver on a critical play you'd think he'd go over gym shorts empty head... But apparently there isn't much in Doug's head either...

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

schwartz sucks

Why he only blitzed 4 during the 4th when their DTs for the game consist of Cox and a bunch of practice squad fodder is beyond me.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I’m glad I’m not going to London to watch this slop.

Disagree, last year's team was an average team that beat on a weak schedule and got lucky in close games. They're pretty much the same team this year except their schedule is hard and their luck is evening out.

 

[Halladay]

I totally agree with this sentiment. We all asked to see a Super Bowl win, and we got it. If this is the season after, Im fine with it.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Mills is the Farmer to this coaching staff, don’t matter how awful he is, he’s going nowhere.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Scoring 17 points isn't good enough in this league to win.

Obviously the defense is going to get some heat & deservedly so but it’s not the 90’s. A 17 point lead with the amount of time to go that they had isn’t that big of a lead in today’s game regardless if it’s in the NFL or college. The offense shares blame in this loss too.

 

[WIP CALLER]

Absolute nonsense.

Sweet response. Doug's an idiot who got lucky it's ok to admit it. I'm happy we won too but call a spade a spade.

 

[bennysflyers16]

3rd worst in the division after 7 weeks, no one could of predicted this.

 

[Halladay]

Disagree, last year's team was an average team that beat on a weak schedule and got lucky in close games. They're pretty much the same team this year except their schedule is hard and their luck is evening out.

Only a handful of plays separate a team from going 6-10 to 10-6. Most teams are 8-8, and based on these plays they either gain a few wins or lose a few wins. Had they played everybody last year against Dallas, they go 14-2. That was not a lucky team. They and the Patriots tied for the best point differential.

I had told people all off-season to temper expectations this year because of how lucky they we're last season in multiple games but even I would have said 10-6 at worst. Now 6-10 isn't out of the question looking ahead... There is a real chance they are 3-5 after next week.

not in disagreement with what you said....but also +20 to margin last year (#4 overall)...-3 this year (25th in the league).

We had some really costly offense TOs early this year. Last two weeks...very good on O...but defense is just not helping here.

They had the easiest schedule of anyone. Their point differential was padded by crushing cupcakes like Denver and San Fran. They played in the easiest division. They were not as good as people think they were. They had a lot break their way despite the loss of wentz.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Hue gets his Hakpoint again.

Good for him.

The Jaguars are really bad too. Bortles was benched for Kessler. I thought if they went 1-1 before the bye, they were ok. Now, I don't care. They aren't a good football team.

 

[Jray42]

Wtf has happened to the NFL kicking profession

Every year it's this way. 10-6 and 6-10 agreed not much difference. Pretty much putting our chances on winning the division on games vs the division.

They've done it before and I've said it last year, even if you made the play it was a bad decision. In the SB on 4th and 1 they called a play to get that yard. That's all you need. Run the same kind of play but make the RB the first read, and get the first down.

This is how it was before this game though. Does anyone really want this team in the playoffs? They cant win on the road.

Browns going to OT again.

gotta agree...two plays for two yards for the first down.
