E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!! Birds - Cowboys 2023 (2nd game) game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

that's PI on Slay? BS

 

[BW Lion]

This is turning into a game of offsetting penalties called to give the appearance of fairness.

 

[BobPSU92]

That was a horsesh|t PI call on Slay.

 

[WestSideLion]

3rd and 20. Time to cover my eyes.

 

[BobPSU92]

Holy crap. That kick looked good from 70 yards.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

60-yard FG for Dallas makes it 10-0, Dallas

 

[s1uggo72]

Dallas didn’t make it where the flag on the eagles

 

[WestSideLion]

There you go. Down double digits.

 

[s1uggo72]

Ok we have taken their best shot. MO is starting to turn for the Birds. See Daks last several passes. Now take it down the field and score. I’ll take 3 or 7

 

[s1uggo72]

There you go. Down double digits.

Which really is nothing in the first qtr

 

[WestSideLion]

Which really is nothing in the first qtr

No. It’s this Eagles team’s MO.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Hurts is becoming a TO machine. Hard to win that way.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

wow:

 

[WestSideLion]

Jalen is trying to do too much, I think. Johnson committing to the run game would help ease the pressure.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

2 6 drops

 

[BobPSU92]

It would be in the Iggles’ best interest to play better.

EDIT: The fake punt constitutes playing better.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

why do you go for that pass play on 3rd & 2? Too long, into too much coverage.

But trickery on the punt allows the Birds to pick up the 1st down!

 

[BW Lion]

I thought Devonte Smith hurt his shoulder earlier in the game. He’s still playing but not effectively.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 5, and Hurts goes for a HR. Just pick up the 1st down, stay on the field, and keep the D on the bench. smh

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

11 drop perfect pass

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Elliott with a 52-yard FG makes it 10-3, Dallas, with 12:34 left in the 2nd qtr

 

[WestSideLion]

Wow. AJ has to catch that pass from Hurts. What a throw.

 

[s1uggo72]

Well 1 score game. Lots of time. D has to keep pressure on Dak. I think the bad Dak is ready to come out

 

[s1uggo72]

Wow. AJ has to catch that pass from Hurts. What a throw.

Hit him in a bad place. The hands

 

[WestSideLion]

11 drop perfect pass

This team just isn’t in a good place mentally. The coaching staff is not doing its job.

@Tom McAndrew it’s all down to the offense and mistakes this year. Fumbles and drops tonight. This should be 10-10 or 14-10 Eagles.

 

[s1uggo72]

Here comes bad Dak

 

[s1uggo72]

Here comes bad Dak

Told ya smh

 

[BobPSU92]

Well, they were talking earlier about issues with the Iggles’ defense over the middle. Egad.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[s1uggo72]

That should be a penalty on the TE

 

[NittPicker]

D getting gashed. Gonna be a long night I fear.

 

[s1uggo72]

GD we are terrible on the force/ edge

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

21 hits

 

[BW Lion]

Dallas’ OL is impressive. Giving Dak ample time in pass protection and opened an impressive hole for the QB sneak to get a 1st down

 

[NittPicker]

Can't see the ball. Can't overturn. I hope...

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I guess this means they're giving him concussion tests.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

it wouldn't surprise me if they overturn on review, and award a TD to Dallas

 

[WestSideLion]

If it’s any consolation, this Eagles team hasn’t looked like a competitor in a number of weeks.

I can’t see more games fixing all the issues across the offense and defense. They just aren’t the kind of team we’d hoped. Frankly, I don’t think they win out if they continue playing like this.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Looks as though it was overturned.

With the PAT, it's 17-3, Dallas, with 6:14 left in the 2nd qtr
