Get a holding call on you and there’s still no hole to run through.

And that’s why you are 4-5-1. Break on 2nd and an inch turn that into second n 5. Pick in the end zone!!!!

TD Pickett for the Pokes, with 0:21 left in the 2nd qtr.

With the PAT, it's 21-7, Birds, with 0:21 left in the 1st half

This is going to be a battle in the second half assuming Dallas stops giving the ball to the Eagles. They’re moving down the field fairly easily.

Why don’t I have a good feeling about this game?? 14 pts is nothing in todays game n that last drive was way too easy. And I m not a @WestSideLion reverse jinks
And the drive before that was too easy as well except for the INT in the end zone. They’re moving down Eagles can’t keep relying on turnovers as their only stops.

Birds always run when they have 6 OL in. Today, a nice fake out of that formation, and they hit Calcaterra on a pass. Alas, flag against the Birds for illegal formation.

An inauspicious start for the Birds on the opening drive. They were moving nicely, until the penalty really screwed them up.

These offensive lulls have been their loss formula. This game is far from over. The offense needs to pick it up again.

really short punt by the Pokes, but running into the kicker against the Birds, so the Pokes will kick it again. smh

A decent return by the Birds, but an illegal block in the back during the return. smh

They went from having the ball on the Pokes' 45 to having it on their 30. smh

Birds need to stop committing penalties.

3rd & 5 and Hurts's arm is hit as he releases the pass, and it's incomplete. It was nearly an INT.

Birds have to punt from near midfield.

Sydney Brown downs the punt at the Pokes' 4.

I don’t get how the offense can be unstoppable for just over a quarter and then go into a shell.

where are the slants to AJ? The Hurts draws?

They have awful rhythm and play calling. Terrible.

True. They tend to give up way too many yards on 1st down which makes it easier for Dallas (and others) to extend drives. They’ve been great with turnovers today which has compensated but it will burn them eventually.

#8 is getting beat a lot today. Giving up big plays and some pretty poor tackling.

INT!!!! Dean with the pick.

Flag on the play. 12 men on the field against the Birds. WTF

Actually penalties against both teams, so they offset, but the INT is wiped off.
