EAGLES Vs Cardinals Game Thread.

Yep, this loss is mostly on Kelly and Foles. Give Huff some blame too.

This is a team loss not just Foles and Kelly. Billy Davis deserves some credit too. Too many big plays given up by the defense. Way too many penalties.

A complete team loss.

 

[DutchBird]

He grabbed him around the shoulders

Anyways can't blame the refs for this loss
Stupid turnovers
ineffective offense
defense couldn't hold when they needed to hold

One hand on shoulder, other hand in collar (as replay showed - Barder even commented on it)...

 

[Green Head]

This one hurts


I don't know how they found a way to lose....

Well for one thing, the Cardinals did not cut their best wide receiver. You see what a speed receiver can do to win a game a for you. One breakout play can put a game over the top.

 

[Iggloo]

It was definitely a horse collar and would have helped.

So you're telling me after all those people blitzing nobody else was open?

How could Foles see anyone open? He basically back pedaled to the other end zone

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

They REALLY REALLY need to find a short yardage play


Both their losses came down to an inability to put the ball 1 yard across the goal line


Dallas will be in first place in about 30 hours

No someone was open....if Foles plants and throws we win this game.......but no.....he had another of his patented back foot throws. He needs to fix that. He can be fantastic if he gets rid of the fucking back foot throw.

......it's quickly becoming one of Kelly's "issues".

that and challenges.

Maclin did ok in the absence of Desean Jackson today. In the Red Zone Djax was a waste of space. His speed is useless in the red zone.

Yup... bad pass, or Matthews would have had the TD...

Nope, Josh Huff and Nick Foles are to thank for this one.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

You have to challenge that spot on the 3rd down play


There is no downside at that point in the game

 

[Iggloo]

I agree, we had the challenge and there was no excuse for not challenging that play. That to me was the biggest error if I had to choose one. The others would be the earlier turnovers by Huff and Foles in the first half. Even FGs there would have been significant obviously.

Lots of blame in this game.

1. Billy Davis, we all saw a real defensive coordinator does to close out the game, 3 man rush on that 3rd and 5 unexceptable. Bowles consistently brought pressure on Foles and ultimately it got to them on the last play, where he was flushed from the pocket

2. The officials consistently were wrong in this game, from the spots, the penalties they threw to the penalties they missed

3. Chip Kelly terrible job in this game using his challenges cost them 4 points and ultimately the difference the game on the 3rd down early on when the ball was horribly spotted.

4. Josh Huff sucks and should be cut. You saw a real rookie receiver in Brown in this game catching the ball not fumbling it. I never liked Huff and still don't

5. I am getting tired of the INT Foles is throwing, I was willing to give the guy time. I am conflicted though because he marched the ball down the field and gave the ball back to his defense with less than 2 minutes and a lead. Then he marches them right back down there and gives them a chance again.

Ultimately this team is not good enough to win anything this year.

 

[Iggloo]

Brown looks like a budding star but let's not be silly and talk about cutting Huff. He is a typical rookie and missed a bunch of time with injuries. He has a chance to be a solid slot type WR for us.

Good game, eagle fans! That game had a playoff vibe!

Btw..the officiating was horrible!!!

They already are in first place. 6-1. Even if they lose, they would be 6-2 - sti;; ahead of the Eagles.

 

[Iggloo]

It was a better game if you are a Cards fan unfortunately. I feel Philly lost a game it had won.

 

[Speedy]

Relax, I knew this would turn out this way, I hate to be right but chip tried to force foles to play well and it cost us. If we run the football heavy, we win by 14 points. Chip pulled an andy today. As much as I like him, he still reminds you from time to time, that he is still an inexperienced head coach. He's still learning. But our defense played well, carey williams sucks dirty hot donkey balls, but take away his weekly td roast, and that illegal pick play the refs wouldnt call, and the d looks really good.
