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

[Jray42]

The end of that bears game HOLY SHIT


For anyone who didn’t see it, 2 seconds left, Bears down by 7, Hail Mary CAUGHT at the 1 yard line but gang tackled before he could reach the end zone

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.

Lol to each their own

 

[WIP CALLER]

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.

London is always a weird game. I could honestly see Kessler throwing for like 300 yards...the London games always have wacky stuff like that happen. Personally I think it's bs the league doesn't make everyone play a week in London to even it out but there is a very real factor(whether time difference or travel) that makes these games toss ups.

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

I didn't think they were beating Min and NE either....stuff happens. Can always get lucky.

Maybe, I thought they would be those two teams. I didn't think they would be Atlanta. But two of those games were at home, which they will have to play 3 road/neutral games.

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.

There's nothing wrong with being like Andy, he's a great coach. The good thing about Doug is he's not Andy 2.o. Andy has shown that he shrinks in the spotlight, whereas Doug has thrived.

Yeah. I had Bears +3.

Outside of the Super Bowl, he’s shrunk far more times than he’s risen to the occasion in his head coaching career.

Chip or Doug, who would you rather have? Go!

we will get 1 home if we win division. We pretty much need to sweep division now to make the POs.

I don't think 9-7 gets a WC

 

[YEM]

up 3 scores in the 4th quarter and lose is a microcosm of the season at this point

What’d you say? My internet is breaking up.

It wont, especially with losing to Carolina and Minnesota, who would have the tiebreaker. 9-7 seems too much for this team though.

After my last post I’ll actually answer it at a face level and not bother bringing clarifications into it....

Doug.

He didn't shrink in the 2 games leading up to the SB and the regular season.

I won't argue that he doesn't have stretches of horrible play calling, though.

I'm more miffed at Schwartz than I am at Dougie P

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

OMG Browns why

 

[Protest]

I haven't been a fan of Schwartz since day 1. Last year they benefitted from big leads and great depth at dline. They don't have the depth this year and it exposes all his warts as a coach...Schwartz's Warts? Phillies fan club?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Last year the defense created 31 turnovers which was top five. They were +11 in the turnover ratio which was top five also. This year they got 6 turnovers so far & are a -3 in turnover ration which both are towards the bottom of the league.

Ian rapport says the Eagles are looking to acquire a wr. Amari cooper and Demarius Thomas among those known to be available.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Dak got walloped & is in concussion protocol.

If we're trading with Denver, I'd target Chris Harris or Emmanuel Sanders before Thomas.

That might be a good thing for the cowboys.

 

[Phileeguy]

Schwartz's defensive rankings through the years. I didn't add 2018 stats because we're not even halfway through the season, but they're currently on pace for worse than 2017 to varying degrees:

	Total yards allowed rank	Pts allowed rank	Rushing y/a allowed rank	Net passing y/a allowed rank
2001 (Titans DC)	25	25	20	30
2002	10	11	7	18
2003	12	13	7	25
2004	27	30	26	30
2005	19	29	25	27
2006	32	31	26	28
2007	5	8	15	3
2008	7	2	6	4
2009 (Lions HC)	32	32	21	32
2010	21	19	24	21
2011	23	23	30	8
2012	13	27	24	18
2013	16	15	20	20

I wouldn't know. Because the Rams used to play here for a time, they are showing Rams-49ers.
