bailed out by kerrigan.
No creativity, no blitzing until the eagles are on the 30. Stupid stupid stupid.

Injured? Cravens is....
Because it seems Kerrigan was benched at one point. Also, on any 3rd down & longer than 10-12 yards and you have Spaight and Foster (Compton hurt) on the field together backing up past the first down marker, then watching the receiver catch the ball tells me everything about Barry. Get those 2 OFF the field along with Baker and get the correct personnel on the field (6 DB's) and play down/distance. I'm sick of Barry and is ineptitude. The games obviously moves to fast and Barry was not prepared should Cravens get hurt which he did. There should be plans in place for injuries and definitely better packages in place in those situations.I'm not a Barry fan, but how exactly did RK bail him out when he was just doing his job?

I know, Barry didn't anticipate a pick 6 by Cousins but really, what did Barry do correctly today? I say nothing...We got lucky to pull this one out. And why can't we get a f*cking call from officials in this league!?
Everything you've said, RK possibly being benched, Barry's shitty scheme, all of it. Is beside the point. Ryan Kerrigan is our de facto sack master. In a game where ypou're up by 5 points, there's 26 secomnds left and the opposition is on your 14 yard line with a 2nd n 10 to go. What does one expect and/or hope for from their de facto sack master in that situation?
If you said a sack causing a forced fumble that the other OLB, Trent Murphy, recovers and seals the victory for the good giuys and ypour fave squad. Give yourself a gold star. Cuz to be a de facto sack master you have to come up with plays like that on ocassion.
Why would he be benched though? RK put pretyty good and relatively consistent pressure on Wentz. Speaking of EWentz. I wasn't ready to crown earlier in the year, but he does have some nice tools in tyhe tool box.
We did get lucky. The pick in the endzone, fumble snap for an eagles FG and RK strip sack to win the game. We were very fortunate today. I will take it. Go Saints.
Why's it gotta be luck? Everett made a helleva catch on a lowball by Wentz in the end zone. RK is 6'4", 265 pounds and comin with a head with steam directly into the chest of a QB standing tall in the pocket.
Defensive players all over the country make similar plays every Fri, Sat and Sun. No reason why Skins defenders can't make them either.
Or up by 8 and have a 1st down somewhere around the 25-30 yard line and you throw a long out pattern for a pick 6 and the whole game changed. Why not Fat Rob there?True. But you gotta call that botched hold luck. That was a huge turning point in the game.
And btw, Jackson's effort on that play left me questioning his commitment to his team. He is supposedly the fastest guy on the field and not only did he not make every effort to break up the pick, he gave half an effort to chase down the DB imo.Or up by 8 and have a 1st down somewhere around the 25-30 yard line and you throw a long out pattern for a pick 6 and the whole game changed. Why not Fat Rob there?

As disgusted as we are with our D, here are some things we must give them credit for
