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

[Tom McAndrew]

I have a meeting/holiday party to attend (previously scheduled, moved to earlier to accommodate the Eagles game), and won't be home until just about kickoff. So, I'm setting this thread up early.

Go Birds!!!

I imagine Hurts’s status won’t be made clear until game time.

I believe Slay (CB), Cunningham (LB) and Jurgens (OG) are out for the Birds, though I haven't seen a final availability report

Drew Lock will start at QB for Seattle tonight.

Sean Desai will not call defensive plays tonight for the Iggles. That responsibility falls to Matt Patricia. So what is Desai’s role?

He’ll be coach’s spotter

To get coffee for the guys in the box

TD, Hurts

 

[BobPSU92]

Good start for the Iggles. TD on the opening drive. 7-0.

 

[s1uggo72]

As soon as they came out in empty on the GL I said run!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 7-0, Birds, with 6:31 left in the 1st qtr.

Nice opening drive (15 plays, 75 yards) by the Birds

3 and out ?? Woo. What’s that

 

[s1uggo72]

I think but I m not sure the Eagles made a change in philosophy on D. In the past if a guy went in motion it was like a Chinese firedrill. Now it appears if man the guy stays w his man. Zone nobody moves

 

[WestSideLion]

Eagles D is so much more active and energetic tonight. They gave up a 3rd and long but rebounded for a stop.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[WestSideLion]

Let me get this straight. They go 8.5 mins for a TD on the opening drive, primarily running the ball.

And then they give up on the run?

they seem to be back on script (emphasizing the run) on this possession

I think they heard you.

Sidebar - Watching Hurts run a few times tonight, I wonder how much the lack of QB runs (for good reasons) have negatively affected the offense so far this year.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

27-yard FG by Elliott makes it 10-0, Birds, with 6:20 left in the 2nd qtr

 

[Grant Green]

What a crap false start call.

Edit: I stand corrected if Kelce moved the ball 1/2 yard (didn't look closely so trusting Aikman).

They can’t continue Hurts’ run usage long term. Especially paying him $55M a year.

 

[WestSideLion]

Sidney Jones is playing stupid. He’s going to cost them tonight.

 

[WestSideLion]

Another Seattle conversion on 3rd and 10+. The DL just isn’t getting home this year.

 

[s1uggo72]

Another off the hook on 3-10. I say go after drew Locke

Sidney Jones is playing stupid. He’s going to cost them tonight.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I continue to think he was a bad pick. His strength is in tackling, primarily in the running game. But he's a tad slow, and hurts them in coverage.

he's just a rookie, so perhaps it will work out long range. I'll have my doubts about him until proven wrong.
