I saw Nate 'all NFL Body' team is inactive as well. so who plays guard? a boy named sue?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[Tom McAndrew]

lol. That would not cut it in Philadelphia.

IMO. Andre Dillard would really help himself if he learned more than 1 position and could play left and right Guard and Tackle.

 

[s1uggo72]

this game is going to play out a lot like the playoff game vs the Vikings. Tampa goes right down and scores. Eagles come back and kick their Butts! I see 48-7 Eagles!!

This surprises me too, but 3 years in, I think Dillard is simply a guy who either isn’t physical enough to play Guard or just doesn’t want to.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Sweat being out is a concern.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

BS PF call on Barnett. smh

 

[Nohow]

Refs: Don’t even think about breathing on our boy Tom.

I think u are missing one more element of his game. And it ain’t physical

Just so they call the same on Hurts!

 

[Nohow]

Good luck with that.

That’s the old “let’s get Brady to the Super Bowl” fix. It’s obvious as hell too.

That was not roughing the passer!! I hope the zebras don’t poison what should be a good game.

 

[s1uggo72]

Don’t tell me powder keg has to play DE

 

[Nohow]

Unlikely to be good with or without ref bias. Iggles overmatched.

Bucs take the opening drive, aided by a terrible PF call against the Birds, and score a TD. With the PAT it's 7-0, Bucs, with 10:00 left in the 1st qtr.

You nailed the first part

 

[s1uggo72]

Iggles go score and never look back!!

 

[troutrus]

You have to stop brady without touching him.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Miles Sanders back from his hand surgery, and opens things up for the Birds with a 7-yard rush on their 1st offensive play from scrimmage.

 

[s1uggo72]

Hmmm not good
I hate turning 2 n 3 into 4 down

 

[Nohow]

If that is Brady, it is roughing call.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ugh. Hurts with a brutal read on 3rd & 2 on a read-option play, then the Birds punter shanks the punt.

 

[WestSideLion]

It’s about to get tough, gang. Oh well. The Eagles way over achieved this year.

They don’t have the offense to chase Tampa all day.

 

[psu31trap]

To me it looked like the Bucs defense jumped off sides. No call.

 

[WestSideLion]

Ugh. Hurts with a brutal read on 3rd & 2 on a read-option play, then the Birds punter shanks the punt.

Slow developing RPOs are not how you succeed against Tampa’s speedy defense. You run vertically with power like they did on Miles’ first carry for 7 yards.

agreed. my cell phone blew up with texts from friends that hated the call on 3rd & 2. Hindsight is 20-20, but even if Hurts hands that ball off to Sanders, it did not look promising, especially with the Bucs having the majority of their D on the LOS before the snap.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Eliot has a tendency to be somewhat optimistic, but perhaps he's right.

Same play OSU blew up vs PSU SEVERAL times
