OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): 2014 Regular Season: Eagles fall to the Niners 26-21.

That's probably the biggest difference between 2012 and this year.


Statistically speaking, so far this is a bottom 3rd defense. They have been getting timely stops and turnovers (frequently leading to points - as they just did), often late in games, but they're ranked 28th in yards/game and 25th in points/game respectively heading into this game.

Which is what they need to do. Can't keep relying on great special teams and turnovers to win games for you, especially if you run an up-tempo offense.


Playoff bound? I'd probably agree. Decent run? I can't go that far yet.

They're low in yards allowed per game, but they were 12th in yards allowed per play. They are much better than last year so far.

Foles is an idiot

 

[Halladay]

that was funny.

 

[Sombastate]

Thank god we have a huge lead. That was pretty funny

 

[bennysflyers16]

Foles is an idiot

With no Rams around, that was almost impossible to pull off.

Being 12th in yards allowed per play is good, but I think you've also gotta weigh that with what the offense does each day more-so with Chip Kelly than other teams.

Obviously, as long as the offense is clicking and scoring points, the higher amount of yards allowed is tolerable. But if you're being stymied on offense you'll have more games that resemble last week against the Niners. The defense was decent in that game, and was close to it's average of yards allowed per play, but still gave up over 400 yards and 26 points.

 

[Halladay]

Eli did that same exactly thing against them in 2010 in which turned out to be a huge play.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Sadly this isn't over yet with our offense.

 

[Halladay]

Points arent a priority, just need to take at least 3 minutes off the clock.

 

[Halladay]

stay in bounds.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Was so excited to be coming to my first Eagles home game to watch them stomp the Giants, now I'm nervous we may get stomped

 

[bennysflyers16]

Boys trying a 53 yarder to win and Giants look like a win

 

[Halladay]

they missed.

 

[bennysflyers16]

they missed.

Yes that was good. Falcons are handing game to Giants.

 

[Halladay]

this is bad.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Should I start McCoy?

I have Foster and Forsett on bench.

I hope you chose Foster

 

[Schwarbomb]

This is bad.

 

[Phileeguy]

Cornerbacks wanna make a play?

 

[bennysflyers16]

this is bad.

Completely falling apart.

 

[bennysflyers16]

We are actually going to lose this. Foles better pick now to get his head out of his ass

 

[Schwarbomb]

Nothing is easy with these guys.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Burns atimeout , really

 

[Halladay]

they needed to take more time off the clock with the playclock, idiotic. snapping it at 15 earlier this quarter.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Romo and Bryant,,,, wowowowoow

 

[Sombastate]

It must be awesome to have a receiver like Bryant
