E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!! Birds - Commanders, '25 (2nd game) game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

I'm setting this up early, because I'll be attending the game. And between poor cell service around/in the Linc, and not knowing how long my cell phone battery will last in the cold weather at the Linc, it makes sense to get it up now.

Please use this thread for pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the 2025 (season) Eagles - Commanders, 2nd game.

The Birds, unfortunately (for someone attending the game) are resting a bunch of their starters. As such, I really don't have a good read on the game.

Go Birds!

 

[LionJim]

Enjoy the game Tom. Birds 35-17 is my prediction.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I think it will be @ 31 degrees at KO, but an Eagles game is an Eagles game.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Plus, I believe the Birds will be in Kelly Green, which as I've said many times, is my preferred jersey for them.

 

[LionsAndBears]

A win, combined with a Bears loss bumps the Birds to the #2 seed. Could mean 2 home games instead of 1.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Enjoy Boss!

 

[LionJim]

Very rarely do you see a running back whiff two blocks on the same play. Washington #22.

 

[nittanyfan333]

HAHAHA!!! Just breaks my heart to see a scUM kicker fail a chip shot kick….

 

[LionJim]

Chicago is doing poorly, just mentioning this.

 

[Relayer]

More brutal play calling from the OC.

 

[troutrus]

Coach getting stupid again.

 

[troutrus]

Always take the “almost” sure points if it puts you in the lead.

 

[Phlebitis]

You just have to take those 3 points In that situation. Just have to geez.

 

[Phlebitis]

Plus, I believe the Birds will be in Kelly Green, which as I've said many times, is my preferred jersey for them.

It’s everybody’s favorite.

 

[Phlebitis]

Pick!

 

[troutrus]

If T McKee was any good, he’d be starting somewhere.

 

[Phlebitis]

Idiotic on many levels. If the Bears lose and they lose I’m gonna be pissed. Especially as a season ticket holder.

Sure as hell would rather have the Pack than the Rams too.

 

[WestSideLion]

Not a great first half. McKee isn’t a miracle worker. Shocker.

This backup D ain’t great. I hope Nick’s decision doesn’t bite them.

 

[WestSideLion]

McKee sucks. He had that first down by miles and threw an awful pass. Now they punt.

 

[LionsAndBears]

I'm going to lose my mind if we blow the 2nd seed!!

 

[Relayer]

McKee sucks. He had that first down by miles and threw an awful pass. Now they punt.

McKee is terrible, this is beyond frustrating.

 

[WestSideLion]

I'm going to lose my mind if we blow the 2nd seed!!

Prepare yourself. This game is a microcosm of the season. They get handed a possible second playoff home game on a silver platter and may not capitalize because the coach has to be the smartest guy in the room.

 

[LionsAndBears]

If we stop running it here I'm going to scream.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Thank you Lord!!

 

[WestSideLion]

Run the ball. It’s a double-edged sword in this game.

 

[WestSideLion]

Are hip-drop tackles still illegal. The one on Calcaterra just now was a textbook example.

 

[WestSideLion]

These backup CBs are just awful. How many big PI penalties have they given up today?

 

[WestSideLion]

@Tom McAndrew , the Eagles should give fans a partial refund for this game. I can’t believe they made people pay to watch this group play.

 

[Relayer]

Forget the 2 seed. Dan Campbell is an idiot. 3rd and 1 from the Bear 45 up 16-0 and he calls a trick play that fails. The game is now tied.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Bears 16 Lions 16

Eagles 17 Commanders 17

White Knuckle time!

 

[WestSideLion]

The Eagles may not win this game anyway. And another punt here.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Lions in scoring position with 2 mins left.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Eagles gotta hold to a FG.

 

[WestSideLion]

Ringo is not an NFL corner. He’s simply awful.

 

[Pocono Lion]

WTF is Ringo doing?

 

[s1uggo72]

Ringo is not an NFL corner. He’s simply awful.

No he’s worse than that has pictures w Howie n a goat

 

[Phlebitis]

WTF is Ringo doing?

He might be my least favorite player on the team. Just not getting better at all.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Lions win!

 

[LionsAndBears]

Eagles lose! Nice job Sirianni!

 

[WestSideLion]

Patullo calls a deep pass with McKee on 3rd and 3?! The Eagles just blew the #2 seed.

This team wins in spite of this coaching staff.
