That is just a really good play

This is a really nice sentiment from Paea.

It is not often that a career mediocre player retires because he feels he cannot deliver the same mediocre performance going forward.

That is a very refreshing perspective and he should be applauded for it.

I think JG already has....clap...clap...................clap

Intriguing game tonight. With the Cowboys not playing this might be the most important game going on this week in relation to the Cowboys.

Who’s excited?

<raises hand>

Woot!!!

I guarantee you there's a lot of folks on this board that don't understand the significance of what Matthews was doing there because it didn't show up as a sack in the stat sheet.

That's mainly a Swaim wiff to me. He has the job to get and stay outside the LB. Formation gives him a huge advantage at the start. His first step is inexplicably inside which removes his advantage to try to seal the edge and that's where he loses the battle. If he can seal Mathews inside, Tyron can blow up #31 and this play has a shot.

Our TEs have flat out stunk this year in blocking, and Witten is on the list. Sort of ironic given the huge knock no Rico was that he couldn't block.

But yeah, that is a great play by Mathews and it gets a big zero on the stat sheet.

I know Matthews is a universally hated player across the league (except by Packer fans), and i also think he is a very overrated pass rusher..... the aspect of his game I <do> admire is he is nasty on the field. He doesn’t miss an opportunity to hit someone — often in borderline dirty ways.

That’s not always a bad thing.

Good one, brother

And those aren't Pillows!!!!

They are 29th in points allowed after only allowing 3 in week one...yikes. Also..wow the Giants suck.

 

[aikemirv]

so, Dak made the call at the line for the pass on 2nd and 1 to Dez. Bad decision by him if he did that. Bad decision by coaching staff to let him have the option.

 

[Trouty]

That's not a hand.

Idgit, are you still optimistic about this season?

First year that Mike Pope isn't on the staff. Probably not a coincidence that the play has fallen off for the unit as a whole.

It's like this. It's like watching a game where we're down 10-0 at the start of the 2nd quarter against a team I thought we were going to beat. I'm not happy about it. We're underperforming. The defense looks like crap, and it's more assignment-related than it is personnel related (with the exception of 1tech and LB). There's time to fix it. I'm not going to act up like a whiney-***** and embarrass myself. But I'm yelling at the kids to shut up and considering putting my cap on inside out and backwards.

No, there's a lot of football left to play. I'll be ok as long as we're in striking distance come Thanksgiving. But the Eagles do have an easier schedule and a two game lead. It'd be nice to see them drop one tonight so that they're back in realistic catching-distance when the divisional games start up.

Thanks for the response and time, El Presidente.

I completely concur. Woot to optimism!!! (?)

Probably not. Though Hanna has been pretty unimpressive coming back from injury. I'd be looking at giving Swaim some more of his snaps on offense.

 

[birdwells1]

Naw that's bad technique by Swaim, I mean he already has outside leverage but gives it up at the snap of the ball.
