E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!! Birds - Commanders 11/14 game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

How about running the ball. D’s been on the field a bit this half.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[s1uggo72]

Eagles way too soft vs run

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Heinicke having too much success against the Birds D

 

[s1uggo72]

Converting >80% on third down because way way too soft on first down

 

[BobPSU92]

The Iggles defense can’t get off the field.

 

[BobPSU92]

Robinson drags the entire Iggles defense for 1st and goal.

 

[s1uggo72]

What I tell ya

 

[WestSideLion]

The Commanders are just manhandling the Eagles tonight.

 

[s1uggo72]

Interior D line playing way too high. On roller skates. Same plan Texans used

 

[BobPSU92]

WTF is with WTF?

 

[WestSideLion]

86 yards for the TD. 7 min off the clock. The Eagles D is a shell of itself. This is looking like loss #1.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

16-play, 86 yard drive by the Commanders for the score. With the PAT, it's 17-14, Commanders, with 1:39 left in the 1st half

Because the Birds have been vulnerable to the inside run all year. Detroit exploited it. So did Dallas and Texas. It’s a real problem.

The reason they are vulnerable is because they are playing too high. Getting blocked and staying blocked

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3 & out for the Birds, and the Commanders take over with 1:06 left in the 1st half.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

58-yard FG attempt by Washington at the end of the half is good, and makes it 20-14, Commanders.

Just a terrible half by the Birds.

 

[s1uggo72]

When you sleep walk around that’s what you get

3 & out to start the 2nd half for the Birds O. This nite is not going too well for the Birds.

 

[nittanyfan333]

They’re just sleepwalking at this point. Multiple times AJ and Smith just didn’t work to the ball and try.

3 & out to start the 2nd half for the Birds O. This nite is not going too well for the Birds.

We are going to learn a lot about this team tonight and next week against a Colts team that will run it continuously.

 

[s1uggo72]

They need to put Washington into a position where they have a chance to screw up. You can only do that w stops on first down. Then get to third n long n get a pick or sack something to have them begin to doubt themselves

 

[s1uggo72]

Roller skates.

 

[WestSideLion]

They’re just sleepwalking at this point. Multiple times AJ and Smith just didn’t work to the ball and try.

They’ve teetered on the edge of this for some time. They’re 8-0, but not nearly as dominant as the talking heads would have you believe.

 

[s1uggo72]

That helps. Need to knock them off schedule

 

[nittanyfan333]

REALLY miss Jordan Davis right now

 

[s1uggo72]

Eagles ain’t playing w no pride

 

[s1uggo72]

REALLY miss Jordan Davis right now

Has nothing to do w anything

 

[BobPSU92]

WTF is just doing whatever they want.

 

[WestSideLion]

REALLY miss Jordan Davis right now

This may be game here.

 

[NittPicker]

60+ offensive plays vs. 22. If the defense can't get off the field they can chalk up loss #1.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Birds get a sack on 3rd & goal. Finally a descent play by the D

 

[Tom McAndrew]

32-yard FG for the Commanders makes it 23-14, Commanders

 

[WestSideLion]

32-yard FG for the Commanders makes it 23-14, Commanders

Squeaky bum time for the Eagles. They need a long scoring drive and a stop on defense.

 

[s1uggo72]

Need a TD drive here. They fold like a cheap suit w any pressure on them

 

[NittPicker]

There's a lot of time left but it won't mean anything if they can't shake the funk off. It looks like half the guys don't want to be there.

Notice Lane move to left guard on that run play?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

23-14, Commanders at the end of the 3rd qtr.

The Birds are putting together a nice drive on O

 

[s1uggo72]

Need TD first play 4 th qtr

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Smith!!!
