E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!! Birds - Green Bay official game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this thread for pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the Eagles - Packers game, being played in Brazil, which starts the 2024 NFL season for the respective teams.

- Lots of changes to the roster for the Birds since the end of the 2023 season
- a new OC and a new DC for the Birds
- almost no starters played for the Birds in the preseason, so what they will do is a mystery to all fans
- a tough game to start the season, as the Packers were quite hot to end the 2023 season -- the opposite of the Birds

Go Birds!!!!!

Iggles will have to play this one without me.

frustrating for Birds' fans that live outside of the Philadelphia region, if they don't subscribe to Peacock.

I don’t ask for much. Just for Saquon to run for 300 yards in his Iggles debut.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

well that's a crappy start on O

 

[Relayer]

All we heard all camp was how great Hurts was in practice. Well, that doesn't mean squat until actually facing a real team.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Well, Jayson Kelce is missed

 

[Tom McAndrew]

GB with a 2nd FG. 6-0, GB, with 3:01 left in the 1st qtr.

The Birds are lucky to be down by less than a touchdown after that start on O.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

6-0, GB, at the end of the 1st qtr.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Saquon!!!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

7-6, Birds

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Dirty franks is flush w Staters

 

[nittanyfan333]

What a beautiful pass….

 

[nittanyfan333]

Come on D….. the O has got a rhythm now. Stand up again D!!!

 

[Ludd]

I’m sure they’re all glad they playing their first game on a cow pasture.

 

[BobPSU92]

The Iggles would be well served to play defense.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

crappy tackling by the Birds' D allows Reed to run 34 yards for the TD.

12-7, GB, with 10:16 left in the 2nd qtr., as the Birds deny GB on a 2-pt conversion

 

[Shadow99]

TD, Saquon!!!!

Saquon will now be the answer to a very likely future trivia question...

 

[Ludd]

crappy tackling by the Birds' D allows Reed to run 34 yards for the TD.

Definitely some poor tackling, but man GB blocked well on the whole drive.

 

[nittanyfan333]

Man this O is looking so good….. so much movement and creativity. Beautiful

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Barkley!!!!

 

[nittanyfan333]

26!!!

 

[nittanyfan333]

Oh what a beautiful cut……

 

[Ludd]

Oh what a beautiful cut……

That was sick.

 

[Jimmy69]

Barkley playing for a team that can run block! Been waiting a long time to see this!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

14-12, Eagles, with 5:34 left in the 2nd qtr.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nakobe Dean had a pick-6 in his hands, and dropped it. smh

 

[Relayer]

Going from a pick-6 to a Packer TD...terrible

 

[Tom McAndrew]

GB with a 70-yard pass & run to Reed for a TD. CJGJ (the safety) with poor coverage, and then he slipped making it an easy TD for Reed.

19-14, GB, with 5:11 left in the 1st half

 

[Lion84]

Eagles D same as last year - garbage.

 

[Ludd]

I think the D wore themselves out early.

 

[WestSideLion]

The Eagles defense looks weak so far. They can stuff Jacobs but are extremely vulnerable to speed in space.

 

[nittanyfan333]

Dean has to have that…..
