Thursday Night Football- Philly vs Texans

[tomsanders921]

What a luxury to be able to run it up the gut on 3rd and goal from the 4

Texans fans aren't going to go to attend a game where they are 1-5-1 and like most NFL fans believe tonight's game was going to be a blow out in favor of the Eagles. And Eagles fans already travel well anyway.

Yep, I still dislike every eagirls fan... it's my problem. haha

 

[guag]

YES. Turned the game on literally just in game to see "TOUCHDOWN EAGLES" plastered all over the screen. Life is good.

Texans D is awful. Just horrible read/recognition and effort.

To be fair Philly has been making a lot defenses look bad this year

 

[zeroburrito]

And folks really think we’d beat this Philly team with Dak

It was a close game with 3 ints with rush?

 

[gimmesix]

Don't know if I can watch anymore. Can't stand the Eagles.

 

[UncleRico]

Eagles solid, tough team but Houston sucks so bad. How is Lovie Smith still coaching?

 

[Aven8]

Why do I want someone to crash in on Hurts leg and cave it in?

Don't worry Gaug. We'll get to hear td eagles many more times this evening.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Yeah… we ain’t beating this Philly team. Our best hope is for them to face the 49ers in the playoffs. They’re another tough, fast running, well coached team that could beat them face to face. We’re just not strong enough in our run defense and our offense, while looking improved last week, is still incredibly anemic.

Karma is real....

 

[Blue&Silver]

Maybe stop the run

Looks to me like when they were blitzing Hurts he was hitting wide receivers wide open, now they've loosened up the run defense to defend the pass and Eagles are running all over the Texans. That's what happens when a talented team goes against 1 not so talented.

 

[Buzzbait]

Let’s hope it’s the night for an upset.

I suspect it'll be an upset: The Texans will get beat worse than they expected.
I hate the eagles.

 

[pitt33]

Eagles look like a lock for home field.

Basing that on their schedule.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Admittedly I was not able to watch the boys vs eagles in the first matchup, but im able to watch this game and the eagles run defense so far has not been impressive.

Agrees. Jordan Davis is a big loss for them

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

If the Texans don't so anything on the next drive, then the game is going to be over by the 3rd quarter.

 

[Adiba1977]

Can Texans at least bang them up.

 

[bottleKids]

I can see the Egals losing to Titans, us and maybe Packers... I don't see them running the table like some of our "fans" think.

 

[gimmesix]

Why are our WRs never this open? is it scheme? talent? I don't get it...

Scheme has a lot to do it. Philly runs a lot of RPO looks, so teams have to have eyes on the QB and RB as runners. To do that, you sacrifice coverage. Generally, RPO teams don't have QBs good enough to keep taking advantage of that, and Hurts wasn't last year. He's far from a perfect passing QB, but he's good enough when you can get the receivers that open.

Pierce can run the rock
