Bittersweet win?

[morat1959]

we can talk about the playcalling on the last offensive drive

b/c it was horrible. pitches? really? Zeke averaging 7.9 up the gut and you wanna get cute?

Nail on the head!

 

[Joe Realist]

I hear ya, but they did beat the Eagles, coming off a bye, in Philly.

 

[Playmaker3128]

This does not make up for the 3-5 start. A huge part of that is garret. We'll see at atlanta next week if this team has what it takes to keep this going.

No playoffs = no excuse to keep garret or linehan.

 

[Ranching]

Sure many fans hate it cuz it could be the jump-start to Garrett staying but damn how can you NOT like beating the Eagles at home. I'll take that every day, even if it means Garrett gets an extension.

Every win is good. If you don't think so then you have never played the game

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

i still want garrett out .

This team has talent, with a real HC we can make the playoffs consistently .

 

[Alexander]

I just think of Philly fans with the echoes of the Rocky theme ringing over and over in their confused diseased heads.

I will sleep goooooood tonight.

 

[DCowboyz]

I'm happy we won. I still hope JG is out after the year but I would never root for a loss. So I'm happy for now.

 

[Jake]

Was tonight a turnaround or just a stay of execution? My money is still on the latter, but angry Eagles fans warm my heart.

 

[Playmaker3128]

Listen if we can make the playoffs and Jerry wants to justify keeping garret i still won't like it at all, but i could accept his reasoning. We've seen this show before, we win games were not supposed to and then don't show up down the stretch.

Next week in atlanta and then three straight home games. Even though one is against New Orleans. I think this defense can matchup with any offense, its just can we score enough points and will we stay aggressive. The time is now to be consistent.

 

[millennial_legend]

Atlanta lost to ****ing Cleveland today. No excuse to lose to those chokers next week.

 

[cowboyblue22]

its a win and a win over the eagles I will take it every time regardless all I ever want is for the boys to win

Not having a draft pick ruins any hope I would have after a loss. So I am thankful for any win we can get, even if it doesn’t mean anything at the end of the year. It would hurt to bad having a top 10 pick and seeing a franchise type defensive end just sitting there in our spot.

It's going to hurt because one of the Clemson 4 Cliellen Ferrell is that dude. As well as a franchise 3 Tech in Ed Oliver. That'll be top ten. We're about to hit the hardest stretch of the season and potentially could be 4-9 going into indy,Bucs,New York stretch to end the season. Or we could 8-5 and the frontrunner in the division. Or 6-7 or 5-8, or-7-6 barely holding on playing mediocre ball.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Still plenty of time for this team to embarrass themselves and for Garrett to screw up. This is actually good news - firing Garrett now serves no purpose. Teams tend to play harder when an interim HC takes over, like in 2010 so I wouldn't want them to judge the future based on a misleading performance. When we finish the season 7-9 including some big losses in December, that's when Garrett will be done and we'll be celebrating

Against a team like that? It's just plain sweet.

I agree. Garrett isn't going anywhere anyway. This type of win is about all we can hope for these days.

To me, this was an amazing coached game, but it actually proved exactly what Garrett needs to go. This was so the opposite of the way he coaches. If he coached like this on a regular basis, I would have no issues.

Yeah, I am not bitter about it one bit. It is sweet.

 

[DezNuts]

We still finishing at best 8-8, JG will be gone after this season. We have to go 7-0 or 6-1 to make playoffs imo and that is not happening with this coaching and Qb. Not worried at all

I couldn't agree more. If Garrett coached like this every week, balls to the wall, don't care attitude...I would support him 100%..... this is honestly how I thought he would be when he took over for Wade Phillips but he was just..well...WADE in a different body.. Why couldn't he bee like this every week? He has deserved to be fired. This type of game makes me want him to change but if probably won't happen.

 

[Aven8]

We are a mess on offense. The Eagles looked done. No way we blocked that well.
