E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!! Birds - Saints game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

I have to set this up in advance, as I'm leaving early Sunday morning as I'll be at the game. @s1uggo72, @WestSideLion and other Birds fans, you're going to have to carry this thread during the game.

Go Birds ... lock up the #1 seed in the NFC.

 

[WestSideLion]

We’ll take care of it, Tom. Enjoy the game and bring home that #1 seed!

To me I think there are 2 burning questions
1 has been answered Hurts won’t play
2 how do they handle RT? W one move(Driscoll) or two ( Malata Dilliard) spelling

Been thinking about this. I think with Minshew in there you change as little as possible, and if you HAVE to take a step back in ability you don’t do it on his blind side. Driscoll at RT and chip to help if needed.

Not a good start. Don't like seeing Sweat lying on the ground. Hope it's not serious.

 

[nittanyfan333]

Had to be stabilized and carted off. Looked spinal.

SMH I’ve seen this movie before

Josh Sweat carted off early in first quarter

The Eagles lost a key member of their defense to an injury early in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Saints.

If you see 2 buy him beers

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Booooo

 

[s1uggo72]

Ain’t playing with no pride

 

[WestSideLion]

This is setting up to be another rough day. That opening Saints TD drive followed by a quick Eagles 3 and out was no bueno.

 

[Michaelion]

Similar to the Washington game. Saints are getting positive yards on every play. Eagles D has been a concern all year and I think will be their Achilles

 

[s1uggo72]

I brought my headphones to the sports bar. Using the Tunity app for the audio

 

[s1uggo72]

SMH. 54 yd FG. Saints. Not good

 

[s1uggo72]

SMH. They just are sleep walking thru this. Game. D needs to get a TO.

 

[K-Live]

Looks like the birds aren’t interested in locking up the 1 seed today.

 

[NittPicker]

They all look like they’d rather be elsewhere.

 

[K-Live]

9 Offensive plays in the first half??? Lame.

 

[Pocono Lion]

Just getting their a**es kicked on both sides of the ball. No energy on the field or in the stadium.

 

[s1uggo72]

13-0 saints. Gave up the deep ball this time

 

[s1uggo72]

Let’s pick one off and run it back!!!

 

[nittanyfan333]

Minshew really looking like a backup

Good thing the eagles are a system team and anyone can play QB. At least that’s what I heard from Parsons.

 

[nittanyfan333]

I’ll take a sack/fumble too. Hell, at this point I’ll take a forced 3-and-out. They need an injection of energy

 

[s1uggo72]

Andy Dalton 13/13. Smh

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Worst Birds' game I have attended in years

 

[s1uggo72]

BFT

 

[BobPSU92]

Gardner’s got this.

 

[WestSideLion]

We aren’t watching a division winning team today. So far, anyway. Yes, they have injuries, but there’s no excuse for what we are seeing today.

And that starts with Siriani, Gannon and the coaching staff. How many pop gun Minshew passes are they going to call???

Im tired of seeing this staff ignore their strengths running the football.

 

[Eric_M]

Lazy holding call on that KO. Way to start your team off backed up

 

[WestSideLion]

Just a brutally bad holding call negates an Eagles TD. Rough day continues there. 13-3 Saints.

Is this crew from Dallas?

 

[nittanyfan333]

What a terrible holding call on dickerson’s pancake. What the actual eff

 

[Eric_M]

All the actual holding that goes on and that ref throws a flag there? That pig owes a written apology and a game off to think about it.

 

[WestSideLion]

This offense is doing all it can to avoid winning this game. Now three false starts in 5 plays and the Eagles are punting.

 

[WestSideLion]

And a shanked punt of about 20 yards. Ugh.

 

[Nitlion93]

After being pinned in, Eagles score quickly including a 76 yard TD to Brown.

 

[WestSideLion]

Big, big TD toss to AJ Brown who beat his cover man, made a great cut back and outran the Saints for a 75 yard TD.

 

[WestSideLion]

Another OL penalty cost them there. A illegal man downfield wiped out a 25 yard Boston Scott catch and run. Eagles punt again.
