MNF: Colts vs Eagles Game Thread

[crashintonickdm]

Eagle players are dropping like flies. Relax a little bit everyone

You need to become an Eagles. You are politicking hard for them right now.

Nope I'm just an honest observer, if you don't like honesty then hit that ignore button. Problem solved.

i know like how dare you point out another team is playing better in September. Yes the Eagles look the better team right now. OKay i can see where fans will say that. right now the Eagles are playing better ball.

 

[Blackspider214]

No one after 2 weeks into the season.

If you want to look at it that way, then ok. But they will end up being the team to beat as time moves on.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I saw two teams with a lot of weaknesses. Depends on whether we can take advantage of them or not. Dallas should be able to run with a lot of success against Philly. We need to make sure we don't let McCoy and Sproles destroy us. Indy had a lot of questionable play calls and the defense was toast after the third quarter.

It doesn't matter guys, these early games don't mean anything. They start counting after Thanksgiving....according to some

I believe I said after Halloween. The Eagles started 3-1 in 2012 and missed the playoffs

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

The Eagles may be 2-0 but I am not impressed, and they are thin at LB which will take its toll. That said, they are the team to beat in the NFC East.

And yeah, I don't think Foles is all that, either.

you have to give Foles credit, don't be fraudulent. I hate to admit it but he is balling

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

I always kind of liked the Colts, but even though the refs handed this game late, they still gave up a 20-6 lead.
Now I may not root for them as much. LOL
except when they plat the Commanders & Giants.

What the hell is a 13 pts lead in the 3rd qtr? You do know that a TD cuts it to 6 right???

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

What is it about the Eagles that freaking everything seems to go their way since last year. Calls, injuries, they just seem to catch every break imaginable. It's bizarre.

Well that didn't win a playoff game so I won't say everything went their way

Being fraudulent would be to say he is balling. His QBR for this game was 84.4, and last week it was 87.5. Last year it was 119.2. He is not an elite QB.

He is winning and not giving up which means he is a franchise QB. He is much better than Vick and that concerns me because it's likely that they will be in the playoffs. Im pissed because I thought for sure we would be tied at 1-1 but it didn't happen.

He isn't a good fit for the Chip Kelly scheme, but sure, he is a starter in this league. But elite? No. And Luck showed tonight he has a ways to go. He gave them the win with that interception in the 4th qtr.

No he isn't. He was 11 of 12 at one point to his RBs and TE and 4 of 14 to his WRs. When he has to stretch the field, he is off target. He's making short throws and letting McCoy and Sproles do their thing. He's not doing anything special. Kelly's offense is just like the college systems where they can plug in any QB and keep rolling. Texas Tech, Oregon, Oklahoma and others have did this for a long time.

Make Foles beat you by actually attempting some passes down the field. I'm willing to bet right now he won't.

He has a noddle arm as well.

Funny how they come in after the game to blow their usual crap.

the receiver got dragged down, hence the interception...
I wouldn't say he gave it to them.

I'm not a huge fan, but didn't he have a game against the raiders where he completed 4 passes over 40 yards in one game... he's capable, if not spectacular.

He did but if I recall correctly, only one of them was a deep throw. I think the Jackson TD was over 40 yards also but Jenkins slipped early on the route in man coverage.

You may be right... but he can get the ball down field if he needs to. No matter, he's a statue in the pocket, get pressure.... He will beat you if you don't make him uncomfortable. He's an adequate QB.

 

[Joe Realist]

Eagles are the better conditioned team. You will see this all year as they take over the second half of games. They stole Sproles from the Saints.

Exactly you are right. He threw a deep ball to Maclin against Jax but he was WIDE open on play action. Can Foles throw the ball deep? Of course he can. But, I think that Foles is very cautious on where he throws the ball. That was why he struggled in the first half against Jax because he couldn't connect a pass between a corner and a safety in zone coverage.

He needs to see the WRs /TE wide open or in man coverage to throw a deep ball.
