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

[Beef Invictus]

Zane would make FGs if the posts were 2ft apart.

The fact that we are on our 49th string kicker due to injuries and each of them has been successful has to be the thing that drives Snyder the angriest. It's great.

The tush push has suffered as I suspected. The wedge isn't really a wedge anymore, it's a diagonal line from Mailata with Dickerson (now at center) at the top. Not only that, but clearly Dickerson is very hurt.

That means you're more likely to have the defense fall ass backwards into stopping it. The best way to do this as a defense is to line up right into the teeth of the gaps, like a zipper, and take the offensive line 1 on 1. The whole point of the play is to exploit the soft spots where the defense tries to angle themselves/stuff into gaps with more than one player. This alters their center of gravity and it's impossible to stand your ground when taking force on a not-head on angle. This is why the wedge on the left side of the line is so effective, because it forces off angle contact.

So with the "top" of the tush push mass relegated to the center of the D line, it conveys more of a chance of a zipper style lineup from the defensive line. I expect to see a) more failures and b) more reliance on Hurts' second effort

They need to come right out and get points, Washington is going to take shots in the 2nd half they need to keep the pressure on.

 

[Rebels57]

Win the Half, go to the Super Bowl. That simple.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Come on Hurts, prove me wrong this half.

 

[DancingPanther]

Yup. They need as big of a cushion as possible because when this defense eventually starts playing not to lose like they typically do towards the ends of games and halfs, they're going to start giving up a bunch of points

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Shipley got popped.

 

[DancingPanther]

Win the Half, go to the Super Bowl. That simple.

Remember when we said win the half win the super bowl? Never trust the Eagles defense in a big spot or a Jalen Hurts led offense in any spot

Dropping like flies. The stars are aligning for Washington

 

[Bigkarl]

Great start

 

[bennysflyers16]

Coaching will lose this game.

Those first two calls were disgraceful

 

[Halladay]

Win the Half, go to the Super Bowl. That simple.

Just don't lose it by 12 too.

 

[DancingPanther]

Yup, there will not be any functional offense this half

 

[RockLobster]

I absolutely hated that opening drive…add to that, Dickerson is questionable to return with his knee injury

 

[bennysflyers16]

Yup, there will not be any functional offense this half

Is this all Moore, Sirriani or just a combo of diarrhea and puke ?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Coaching will lose this game.

There are two explosive players with no solution against them. It ought to be straightforward.

TB decided to be clever instead of straightforward and that's how this matchup is happening

 

[DancingPanther]

They're blowing this for sure. Offense isn't going to chew any clock, defense is going to be gassed before long

Gonna be a long night at work lol

 

[JojoTheWhale]

1st Down should not have been a Keep with the Safety pressure. Makes no sense.

 

[DancingPanther]

Is this all Moore, Sirriani or just a combo of diarrhea and puke ?

I won't pretend to know, but having 2 starters out on the offensive line is suicide for this QB

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

Davis sighting!

 

[Beef Invictus]

They're blowing this for sure. Offense isn't going to chew any clock, defense is going to be gassed before long

Gonna be a long night at work lol

Only if your coaches try to be clever

 

[Chinatown88]

DAVIS LIVES

 

[Beef Invictus]

GO FOR IT

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

It will never not crack me up when I hear ODB as an outro on NFL games. You (supposedly) couldn't even buy that album if you were under 18 when I was that age. Now it's Americana

Also, Davis!!!

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Davis? Holy shit lol.

One of those explosive player has been solved since the first play of the game. He also has a sore calf. Enjoy your comeback win
