The Eagles are in trouble here. They’ve had chances to put this away and now the D is gassed.

I don't think I'd say they were in trouble. But they have allowed the Broncos to stick around, by not executing on O since the opening drive of the 2nd half. And now, the Broncos are putting together a nice drive on O.

2nd & goal from the 5 ...

incomplete, but holding by an Eagle in the endzone (Mitchell). Unfortunate, as the ball was too high to require any holding

1st & goal at the 2 for the Broncos

TD, Broncos

With the PAT, it's 17-10, Birds, with 13:11 left in the 4th qtr.

The Broncos didn't score once in the 3rd qtr, but they are not out of the game, as the Birds' O has also stubbed their toes since the opening drive of the 2nd half

The last Eagles possession was the one that hurt. They got the ball at the 45 and lost yards before punting.

Now a hold on a Barkley run likely ends this drive. How this team is 4-0 is a mystery.

1st & 20:

1st: pass to DeVonta for 7
2nd: deep pass to Dotson but it's to the wrong side, and incomplete
3rd & 13: Broncos with a blitz, and they get to Hurts

smh

Broncos take over at their 28

1st down, a really nice catch by Engram

Now another nice pass to Sutton, and the Broncos are past midfield

wow, looked like Cooper DeJean was held in the backfield on that play, but no call, and a 5-yard gain for the Broncos

3rd & 5 for the Broncos ...

complete to Engram, but a flag on the play

makes it 3rd & 15 ...

crap, complete to Sutton down to the Birds' 12

TD, Engram

Broncos going for 2 ...

it's converted, on a pass

18-17, Broncos, with 7:36 left in the game

they got Kelee Ringo in single coverage, and took advantage of it. Nice play by the WR and nice throw by Nix

makes it 2nd & 6

Birds are 2 for 9 so far on 3rd down

Make it 2 for 10, as pressure forces Hurts to throw to AJ short of the mark

Birds going for it on 4th & 4 ...

DeVonta with a deep pass, but a flag

crap, illegal shift against the Birds

Barkley had not set

and now the Birds will punt

Nix throws it as he's about to be sacked ... seems like intentional grounding ... after a meeting, they throw the flag. And now, after calling intentional grounding, they announce there is no intentional grounding. wtf

3rd & 6 ...

caught by Sutton for a 1st down

total BS

The Eagles did this to themselves, Tom. They had several chances to seal this and their inept offense continued.

Sirianni has a Patullo problem. It’s official now. This feels like 2023.

Another judgment call goes Denver’s way. That was bang bang and the runners was still stretching the ball.
That’s going to go the offense’s way 99% of the time. Baun can’t take that risk.

The Eagles benefitted from some calls in this game too. It evened out.

This one is on their putrid offense.

Broncos kick a 36-yard FG with 1:14 left, to put them up 21-17.

They'll kick off with 1:11 left in the game

The Birds have no TOs left

Birds return the KO to their 26. They have 1:06 left.

1st: Hurts is sacked
2nd: Barkley with a short pass for 3 yards
3rd: incomplete
4th & 7: 0:21 left, PI against the Broncos, as Goedert is tackled before the pass gets to him

0:15 left, ballon the Birds' 47

1st: Dotson OOB with 9 sec left

1st: at the Bronco's 29; incomplete, should have been PI against the Broncos. Good grief, the DB grabbed him and threw him down before the ball got to Goedert at the 5

Last play (0:04 left): from the 29: incomplete in the endzone. Two Birds receivers seemed to take each other out (AJ and DeVonta)

Final: 21-17, Broncos

Birds drop their 1st game of the season

Playing sloppily finally catches up with the Birds
