MNF: Eagles at Falcons. Who will be watching?

[Smed55]

Oh boys did u see it!! Sam is still the man!! Shop his INT before the half was a bad pass. he said he miss read the coverage. but out of 52 attemps i would say he maybe had 3 or 4 slightly off passes. Seriously how many QB's can do that with no running game. SJ you have falling off the top rope to many times, SMED where did they ship your boy Davis? Please! yeah ill take 340 yds dink and dunk anyday of the week. Umm thats called a game plan. thats how you wear out a defense he had them running all over the place looking like fools and thats why they were so tired in the second half. somebody look up how many holding penalties and drops the Eagles had! It was pathetic! Sam over came Four on that on
drive to lead them to a TD!! Seriously how many times do you see that? If that kicker didn't miss a chip shot the eagles would be 1-0. well maybe not because their D backs suck besides Jenkins and can't cover. this loss wasn't on Sam the man! Whats up guys!

Coug, WTH, you finally get that rock off of you? Welcome back!

Glad to see your love for Sammie has not died. No this loss was not on Sammie, but Sammie didn't wear anybody down, Atlanta played very soft defense. I'm sure that wasn't Phillys game plan for him to have to throw the ball 52 times?
As far as him doing it with no running game, please there was no running game because Atlanta took that away, they would rather have Sammie try to beat them, they were playing to shut down the run and they did, so Sammie should have taken advantge of that and he didn't!
Glad to see you are still somewhat delusional about him though, really out of 52 passes only "maybe" 3 or 4 were slightly off, you are a funny boy, I'll give you that! Yet at the same time throwing that many 5 yard or less passes you should be in the ballpark of the receiver?

Sam took a bunch of hits last night and bounced right up. He's got a rocket, it's accurate and we're going to put up a lot of points with him. Too bad his last pass bounced off the WR's hands last night.

Well for your sake I hope you you get a better Sammy than we had. As far as I'm concerned Sammy is fools gold! As of right now he has you fooled. It's hard not to be accurate when you throw as many short passes as he does, Atlanta pretty much gave him the short stuff, he shouldn't miss on those, but if you think he is the answer to your QB issues, all I can say is good luck with that. 52 passes is alot to not have more production from that?

We have seen this from him for "parts" of 5 years now, he is nothing special, if the Eagles are to win this year, it will be because thrie running game picks up, which it should, you guys have to much talent at RB not to succeed in that area.

Well umm.. If you account for all the drops and that last int which was totally on Matthews his QB rating would have been over a 100 with like a 75% completion. That's pretty dang good. Yeah nothing special just his first game with new everything coming back from two blown ACL on the road on Monday night football....

OMG, maybe I didn't miss you!!!

Same old excuses, he had no running game, his receivers dropped passes, he's coming off two knee injuries, blah blah blah.
I'm surprised you didn't throw the new OC card out there too!

Bottomline Atlanta shut down the running game and forced Sammy to beat them, as usual he didn't!

 

[Vitamike]

This whole thread....

Similar to the Davis thread.

Dude's gone, let's hope he's healthy for them 8 games, oh 7 games now!

 

[Retroram52]

Smed, it is about time you get an avi change!

The only reason I didn't rainbow this is cuz Zeke came thru on it and I think we should welcome you back from wherever you've been. I thought you up and moved to Philly..

Sam was better in the 2nd half Monday night, but he was not good in that 1st half. And all he really did was take what the Falcons were giving him (short pass underneath) after they were up 17, then 10 points. When the Falcons brought pressure late in the game, things went back to "normal" for Sam.

Sam is going to have red zone issues as usual too. The reason he had 1 TD is because Demarco put a good move on the outside to cutback and get in. Sam attempted ZERO passes over 20 yards.

Most of us watched the same thing we have been watching for years. But it's good to have you back Coug!

 

[Retroram52]

The long and short of it is Sammie is still losing when it counts and Foles finds a way to win. If we still had Sammie we would be 0-1. Just listen to the Rams players. Foles is their guy.

You guys sure have talked yourself into a bunch of excuses should Bradford turn out to be successful here.

 

[zeke2829]

The only way he turns out to be successful is if he hands the ball off 100% of the time!

 

[shopson67]

We have many seasons worth of reasons, not excuses. I could care less if he's successful in Philly, as long as he's not injured on the Rams sideline.

Besides, I'll take the cheaper, healthier, and steadier Foles + a second rounder next season (not to mention the 1 round improvement this past draft) over Bradford every time. I just hope Bradford makes it through at least half the season to eliminate the remaining conditional draft pick to the Eagles.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep Eaglesnut. We have way too much historical evidence to suggest otherwise or to derive or use excuses.

 

[Battlelyon]

Good luck with that, just remember you gave us a second and Foles for him.

 

[Battlelyon]

It is just too bad we don't play the Eagles this year.

 

[Retroram52]

That would be poetic justice SE. I 'd like to watch A. Donald and Quinn eat him alive. And I love to read Cougie comments and watch his rationalization magnify a 1000 fold. LOL.

 

[SJ76]

It is just too bad we don't play the Eagles this year.

Oh u don't know how much I would love that. Playoffs maybe?

Oh that would fun. Poor Sam ain't gonna last 17 games tho.

 

[Retroram52]

All has to do is last for eight games SJ76. That is all I care about.

 

[Battlelyon]

Lol, he is still looking great. If not throwing a pass over fifteen yards is wrong, he don't want to be right.

 

[Smed55]

Yep love it, it's Sammy time with 4 minutes left in the game, time to pad your stats against the prevent defense, then Coug and others can say, he had a good game, NOT!
Love it when he's on the bench looking at the still pictures, reminds me of his Ram days, that confused look on his face!
