E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!! Birds - Bucs '25 Game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
And another week where the offense can’t get right for a whole game. They’ve been AWFUL in the second half.
3rd & 6 for the Bucs at the Birds' 45 ...
good grief, it looked as though they had him sacked, and somehow, Mayfield escaped and scrambled for a 1st down
smh

catch by the Bucs, then a fumble, and recovered by ?? (short of the 1st down, either way)
I thought the ground caused the fumble, but can't tell for sure

official ruling is the receiver was down on contact (due to the tackle), so Birds take over at their 35
and Barkley loses a yard, so it's 4th down. But the Bucs can't stop the clock
Birds let the clock run to 0:06 left, then call TO
4th & 6 for the Birds. They'll punt the ball.
Mann runs backwards, and gets tackled in the endzone for a safety.
Final: 31-25, Birds
Smart play

Birds get through a brutal stretch undefeated. Huge defensive stands in the heat
I’m too effing old for these games. It’s a win, but this Eagles team continues to leave us wanting a complete performance.
The punt block TD and Baker’s costly red zone int were the difference.

Not that you get a breather in the NFL, but we’ve got a bit of a respite with Broncos and Giants coming in. 2 game lead in the East and 2 big conference wins against playoff contenders
LOL. I hear you. But that's like saying you're too old for sex.
The Birds have yet to play a complete game, and this crap will eventually catch up to them.
With all the trouble we've had over the years in Tampa Bay, I'm happy to get out of there with a win.
Let’s not repeat the pattern of the 2023 season, which also followed a Super Bowl appearance. Need to get the offense to be less predictable by figuring out the o-line run blocking issues.
They’re all brutal in the NFL. No gimmies. Villanova ain’t in this league.
I’m fairly old, but these are the kind of games that keep me watching.
