E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!! Birds - Patriots game thread

[troutrus]

I think with the lead and the wet conditions, Iggs are staying conservative. Smart move I think.

the turf is making things tough for both sides. I am concerned that the Birds' pass offense. The Pats' D is giving the Birds' passing game some trouble

Big ball skillz

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Pats finally putting together a good drive against the Birds (unfortunately)

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Pat's with a TD.

with the PAT, it's 16-7, Birds, with 4:34 left in the half

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Gotta loosen the box, stop f ing around

Birds' O has been non-existent after they went up 16-0.

 

[WestSideLion]

An ugly lull for the Eagles.

The Birds have under 100 yards of offense. It’s concerning.

Not concerned. First game. Terrible conditions. 1’s haven’t played meaningful snaps together yet. It’ll take time to open up. Lot of teams looked like garbage todsy

The NE offense seems to be picking things up quite nicely.

 

[WestSideLion]

Super Bowl. Hangover.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Another TD by the Pats. smh

With the PAT, it's 16-14, Birds, with 25 sec left in the half

 

[Tom McAndrew]

The strength (or so we think) of the Birds' D is their DL. It can be hard to get traction on this turf, but the DEs and the DTs are not getting much pressure on Jones. And if that doesn't happen, then he will (as he's done) complete some passes

 

[troutrus]

Still have the lead.
No gimme’s in the NFL.
This ain’t like playin‘ the Blue Hens.

The Eagles offense needs to execute. The $250 million man needs to lead that.

 

[WestSideLion]

Mailata killed this drive with that bad hold.

 

[WestSideLion]

Elliott bails them out with a long FG. 19-14 Eagles.

 

[nittanyfan333]

Jake Elliott is a freaking weapon….

 

[WestSideLion]

Terrific break there to get that stop with no FG attempt. Now let’s cash in with an Eagles TD.

seriously, nice to change the momentum.

[nittanyfan333]

Whelp….. worst case for the D? Hope it’s nothing serious

[Tom McAndrew]

Elliott with a 48-yard FG that doinks thru, to make it 22-14, with 13:21 left in the game

 

[WestSideLion]

Hurts is struggling today. Makes you wonder about the decision not to play him in preseason. But the Eagles squeak a FG through for a 22-14 lead.

yeah, he's not making the best reads

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Great tackle

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Pats go for it on 4th & 8 ...

and a one-handed catch by the TE for the 1st down. smh

 

[WestSideLion]

Eagles D is doing their best to lose this game.

 

[WestSideLion]

Smoked his a$$ on 4th!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn, Pats go for it on 4th & 3 from inside the Birds' 20, and it's incomplete. LOL

 

[Tom McAndrew]

AJ Brown!!!

[Tom McAndrew]

AJ Brown!!!

Pats challenge the completion. It could go either way; really tough one to tell on the video CBS showed

 

[troutrus]

Bellycheck relying on a hometown call.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Elliott with a 51-yard FG to make it 25-14, Birds, with 5:33 left in the game. Very nice

 

[WestSideLion]

Big time QB play from Hurts there! Way to go, kid.
