Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): THIS IS BRAZIL (Start Of 2024 Regular Season)

[Amorgus]

I've seen sandlot football games more competent than this Giants /Cowboys fame.

Wat.

That explanation is almost as bad as what happened on the field.

You call a timeout with 31 seconds left and you can throw the ball anywhere you want inbounds and clock it for a field goal.

I'm surprised he wasn't fired leaving the room after that press conference.

This is one of the football games of all time

 

[ChaosLord]

So are Gibbs and Campbell still considered bad picks now?

Gibbs is outplaying Bijan Robinson at this point.

Detroit looks tremendous on offense, but their D is another matter. They put little to no pressure on Williams all day.

You have to put the Eagles in the drivers seats in the NFC right now, with Detroit and Minny right behind. SF might not even make the playoffs, which would be hilarious.

After finally watching the end of the game, are we sure Williams would have been capable of clocking it? How is he escaping all criticism here? It shouldn't take a QB 25 seconds to get a play off after a sack, not like everyone had to run 35 yards up the field. Don't the practice this stuff?

Obviously Eberflus (among the worst names of all time btw) should be calling a time out when he realized things obviously weren't going smoothly or better yet after the sack to regroup. He's an idiot. But Williams isn't exactly innocent either. Maybe they don't practice this stuff after all

This all came after burning their second time out a few plays later lol what a mess

Detroit is still the better team. I really don't know where all of this is coming from now. Get them outside and now you're cooking with gas. But I'm very worried about how playoff games are called with respect to the PHL offense vs DET defense. If Detroit is allowed to clutch and grab the Eagles' WRs, that means they can stay in Man and then everything changes. Now Hurts has to go out and win that game. It's a big ask for anyone but the top tier QBs.

Hell, the Packers are on the same tier with the Eagles and have by far the best QB of the three main NFC contenders.

Watch it again. Everyone is assuming a TO is coming because to not do so is nuts. That takes a few seconds away. Then Williams gets the directive and goes into action at 0:25. He begins using hand signals. It then takes another 5 seconds for everyone to get back across the LoS and line up. Kmet and the Slot line up wrong, talk to each other, and then fix it. That takes 4+ seconds. 3 seconds later, the ball is snapped.

Right see this is what I'm missing because I don't know the intricacies of this stuff. If you're telling me it overwhelmingly looks like no one knew what was going on until 25 seconds, then you 100% know I'll agree that's a joke and it's all on the coach. I do remember seeing confusion on the left side of the los.

Still, here I am thinking Williams gets a few calls right away and he's the one that takes the time to read the defense and gets his guys right or whatever he needs to do. Silly me, right? If he gets sacked at 32 seconds and hears nothing until 25? Bruh

This is timestamped to the Sack.



Everything has a slight delay. Down at 32. Helped up at 28 by his OL. The info is probably being relayed about now. Coach finishes and you see him snap into action at 25. You can see a WR's helmet crossing back onto their side of the LoS at 19. On the one hand, that slight delay at each step is normal. On the other, it's why you call Timeout. Lining up for a play that has to get Yards vs a Kill is completely different.

It's almost like he thinks he's playing madden. Sure ripping into a quick play for 5-10 yds then calling timeout is fine when all you have to do to "choose" a play and get everyone to their spot is hold triangle and press square.

Good teams/coaches find a way to win and bad teams/coaches find a way to lose.

Although I must admit Andy had his rough time management days too.

Their Interim HC was the Passing Game Coordinator a month ago. You do not see that.

 

[trostol]

i thought ESPN was the world wide leader

in case this is gone before then..it has them talking about the Bears coach being ready for the next game lol

Eberflus 'confident' he'll prepare Bears for 49ers

With questions swirling over his job status, Bears coach Matt Eberflus said Friday he is going through his "normal" operations ahead of next week's game against the 49ers.

I'll reiterate. Up there with the worst names of a time.

I will say Amazon Prime does have a good HD picture.
