E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!! Birds - Washington '23 1st game thread

[LionJim]

Blown coverage, worth 30 or so yards. I’ll take it.

 

[BobPSU92]

Howell is 3 for 3 for 65 yards on 3rd down so far. The Iggles’ defense is making him look like a Heisman winner.

 

[LionJim]

Two-minute warning. If Washington can go into the half up 17-7 or 21-7, that would be significant.

 

[LionJim]

Another Red Zone penalty. Goody.

 

[WestSideLion]

Edit: I thought the ball was on the 1. It’s not.

 

[LionJim]

Big possession, Philadelphia 2-minute drill. One timeout remaining.

 

[Nitt1300]

fire everybody

 

[BobPSU92]

Wow, the Iggles look like sh|t.

 

[LionJim]

fire everybody

I think Sam Howell deserves to keep his job.

 

[BobPSU92]

Wow. What a catch.

 

[WestSideLion]

Wow. What a catch.

The way this game is going for Philly, this catch is coming back.

 

[BobPSU92]

The way this game is going for Philly, this catch is coming back.

Hurts‘s got this.

 

[LionJim]

Wow. What a catch.

Yeah, the guy (not sure who) put himself out there, top-shelf professionalism.

 

[WestSideLion]

That FG feels big.

 

[Nitt1300]

We deserve better

 

[LionJim]

Washington edge is keeping Hurts in check, very good football.

17-10 at the half. It’s a good game. Y’all know the affection I have for Hurts.

 

[LionJim]

That FG feels big.

It does. It’s a good football game. These guys are pros.

 

[Whart]

FEED SWIFT

 

[Nitt1300]

It does. It’s a good football game. These guys are pros.

Playing to win the game

I posted in the wrong thread in the first half, repeated here:

#13 Forbes can cover. He holds the FBS record for most career interceptions, at Miss State.

Playing to win the game

Dumb offensive call on 3rd down. They had Hurts looking long on a medium need to gain the first. Off course they blitz and damn near took his throwing arm off.

 

[Eric_M]

God damn these refs suck hard.

 

[Whart]

Terrible Pi call on Slay….BS call

 

[Eric_M]

Terrible Pi call on Slay….BS call

It’s like Angel Hernandez is calling this football game.

Lol listen to no shoes radio a mellow song came on. I did not recognize. Looked it up. everywhere sung by a fellow named mike Reid.

 

[BobPSU92]

Uh-oh.

 

[Nitt1300]

good calls both on the TD and the 2 pt try

 

[WestSideLion]

There we go!! AJ Brown!

 

[LionJim]

Rough sport.

 

[BobPSU92]

Iggles ran on 3rd and 11 and nearly turned it over. They settled for the field goal and lead, 24-17, early in the 4th.

 

[LionJim]

17-24 with 14’ remaining. This is a make-or-break drive for Washington. Just 7 down, gotta make it happen.

 

[WestSideLion]

The Eagles sure do take dumb penalties.

 

[WestSideLion]

Tie game. The Eagles laid a real egg today.

 

[LionJim]

17-24 with 14’ remaining. This is a make-or-break drive for Washington. Just 7 down, gotta make it happen.

Nice drive. 24-24. Howell looking like Joe Kapp on this drive, I swear. Five and change remaining.

 

[Whart]

Nice drive. 24-24. Howell looking like Joe Kapp on this drive, I swear. Five and change remaining.

Can’t make it easier for them with stupid 15 yard fouls….out of bounds

 

[LionJim]

Tie game. The Eagles laid a real egg today.

Washington made the plays. Howell escapees that sack how? Also got lucky on the Illegal Formation call that let them replay a busted 3rd down.

 

[Whart]

This is where Mr Hurts will show us what he has….game on the line

 

[BobPSU92]

Tie game. The Eagles laid a real egg today.

Obviously needed the defense to step up there. They didn’t.

 

[LionJim]

Forbes can cover.

 

[BobPSU92]

Hurts throws it up for grabs and is lucky it wasn’t picked. Iggles punting.
