I really don't know what to think of this team. The inconsistency on this team on both offense and defense are killing us. However we are 4-1 dispite these inconsistencies.

1. Foles like much of the rest of the offense is inconsistent nothing more illustrated this than the throw to Maclin for the TD. The TD was a nice throw to a wide open receiver, however the play before that he had the same open receiver in Mathews and he threw it off his back foot and Mcnabbed the throw. Yes the fumble drove me crazy, but the score was 34-14 at the time with 9 minutes left in the game you would think your defense should be able to hold them.

2. McCoy isn't even inconsistent he is just bad right now. Way too much dancing. He did play better in the second half when he stopped dancing and hit the hole

3. The Oline played ok yesterday they are not blowing huge holes in the run like when Mathis and Kelce were in there but there are some creases to run into. Sproles seems to be runnng ok behind it

4. Ertz dropped a sure TD in the first drive result of the series was a field goal. This seems to be happening every week now with this team, a reciever dropping a sure td, we didn't see that much last year. Inconsistency throughout

5. The defense is at its best when it's aggressive, I blame billy Davis for taking the foot off the gas. However he still had his players in a position to make plays and they did not.

6. Very simply we have the worst defensive backs in football they let a rag arm QB throw wounded ducks for Tds all they had to do was turn around and look, at the worst they could have batted the bal down at the best it's an INT. This was my biggest concern coming out of this game, even more so than Foles and McCoy , at least you ca. Say Foles and McCoy have been good in the past, you can't say that about Williams, Fletcher or Carroll.

7. We have by far the best special teams in football

8. The injury to Demeco Ryans could be devistatibg to and already inconsistent defense.

9. Nice to see Brandon Graham playing like a 1st round pick. He was very active yesterday.

Foles is brutal, he needs to seriously needs a rude awakening by Chip. These senseless turnsovers are brutal. He literally double clutches on 90% of his throws, his mechanics are TERRIBLE, he throws off his back foot all the time.

Sanchez better be preparing to play because I don't care if this team is 4-1, they should be 5-0, or at the very least 4-1 in blowout wins. To many open WR's missed.

McCoy looks a step slower... He also needs to change his attitude. I get it sucks not gaining any yards but slamming the ball on the ground in front of your teammates doesnt help either. And if he just hit the hole like Sproles would he would gain more yards instead of trying to score a TD every play. His ego is so big right now by everyone blowing him in the off-season.

The defense is bi polar, looks great and than looks terrible. Agree with you the worst secondary in football, we need 2 cb's and a safety. Not one of our CB's got their heads turned around to locate a ball.

ST's is great.

Again, it's hard to complain when you are 4-1 but there are some glaring problems with this team.

Just my opinion here but I think the reason for the defensive struggles later in the game is partly due how often they were on the field during the game. The offense struggled and especially when they run up tempo and going 3 and outs, it is making it more about the defense keeping up the pace. Early on the defense was solid, but come the 4th quarter, it was showing. Again just my opinion. It all starts with the offense. Keep the defense fresh and we should be fine.

I agree with this sexy guy. The defense is playing absolutely atrocious toward the end of games.

CARY WILLIAMS NEEDS TO STEP THE FUCK UP AND PLAY BETTER!!!!#

Offense sucks right now!

1. I am not happy with McCoy right now now. I say it is time to give Polk some playing time. Show McCoy what can happen when you hit the hole and move a pile forward.

2. Foles has been made one dimensional since our running isn't working. I don't excuse some of his decision making but he is really just a 2nd year guy and is due some poor games.

3. Special Teams! Nice to have something working great.

4. I know our DB's aren't the best but I wonder how much better they would be if our defense was more rested. If they aren't tired why does Davis take the gas off.

Good Post Taz, not really much more to be added. I came home last night and watched some of the game on TV (Tivo'ed) As you said Special teams is what is keep the team alive. Not to forget Sproles. Without Sproles the Eagles could very well be 1-4.

I will add that Chip Kelly is make horrible calls at crucial times and Nick Foles is not getting any better. I think the Eagles better be real concerned and better start working Sanchez out, because the schedule just got that much tougher. Foles did look a little better than the San Fran game, but not by much.

I just don't understand why we don't bump wr's at the line. They were lining up 15 yards off and Davis was just throwing 10 yard passes. Odd.

1. Foles is inconsistent. I still think he is going to be a really good QB and I am not willing to say he is bad just yet because thanks to NFL Sunday Ticket I see quite a bit and there are lot of QB's out there with the same issues. He made some really bonehead throws yesterday and he made good ones too.

2. Unless Maclin is wide open I would not throw the ball to him. I put the interception on him and not Foles. It was a deep ball one on one. He let the DB get the position on him and he never fought for the play. At some point the receiver needs to make a play and stop waiting for the perfect pass.

3. The middle of the offensive line has issues. There was pressure all day and it was evident because Foles rarely stepped up into the pocket. He knew where the pressure was coming from.

4. I knew ever play when Shady was going to get the ball handed to him. He stood in the backfield and he bounced on his toes every time the play call was to him.....FYI Shady, if it is obvious you are getting the ball...it is easy to stop you.

5. I think we have the worst secondary in the NFL. 3/4 of our starting secondary is just bad. Fletcher, Williams and Allen are horrendous and should not even be on the field.

6. I think the front 4 played well. They were getting pressure. Not their fault that the ducks the forced up were completed because our corners suck. We go into the offseason with DB as our top priority IMO.

7. We miss Kendricks. Mathews played ok yesterday but Kendricks being out really does hurt.

8. We need a solid #1 receiver.

9. This is not a Super Bow Contending team. I never though so. There are some holes on this team that need fixing. That was obvious to me going into this season.

Foles is lucky we are winning despite him. If we were not, he would be squarely on the hot seat.

As outsiders to the world of the Rams, what did you guys think of Austin Davis?

Not bad. He gives up a fight. Little guy though. Needs better weapons.

Eagles tied with Buffalo, Arizona & Oakland for fewest Offensive TDs this season at 6. Arizona & Oakland have only played 4 games.

That is bad.

Foles has been bad all season so far. Some were just looking at stats after the first couple weeks and making excuses for his bad half or bad 3 quarters. Just looking at the "win" rather then his play. Point is, he's been bad the whole damn time. Not sure why they are just seeing it now.

I put a lot on Chip though.

He needs to be getting Sproles in there to help take off the pressure from Foles. Getting the him the ball out in space...screens, swing passes etc.

Oops..Made an error in my calculations. lol. We have 11 tds. 7 return tds. (ST/DEF).
Eagles are 18th in Offensive TDs per game.

Still..Foles has been bad.

We have 7 return TDs. No one else has more than 2.

S/T & Defense have saved Foles ass through 5 games.
