Philly postgame week 1

Wow. What a Monday morning. Im not used to feeling so good heading back to work.
After a night to digest what I saw Im thinking a couple of things...
First JDR is a ferocious animal and his scheming won the game for us without a shadow of a doubt. We had no run game, one wr, and an inaccurate quarterback but scored 27 points. Why? Because our defense put us in position to score.
Secondly that our offense has to be able to move the ball the length of the field. Otherwise this game will be a great memory clouded by another season of shit Monday mornings.
So HTTFT today, but Haskins better hone his skills fast, and some other playmakers besides McLaurin better step the fuck up.
The first half was what I expected only worse, and the second half was what I hoped for but only better. My emotions are shot. Lol.

Punch you have to be the most Jekyll & Hyde fan on here. I mean you basically wanted to fire RR at halftime... lol.

Fact check: true

How about Moreland?

How about Moreland?

What about him? No surprise from me, he and Fuller should be the starters.

What can say? I didnt get to see game but heard the score was 17-0 so all hope was lost then,thought final would be 41-12 or something similar,so to come back and win was pretty impressive.I saw someone mention the gandy golden kid,I had forgot about him,did he play and if not why not?
And couldnt help but notice A Pterson kicking ass for Lions today

What a great game! By the end of the first quarter, I was so sure that it was going to be an ugly game. You all already brought up some points from the game, and there are a few others I want to point out:



- While the Dline dominated Eagles offense, it's easy to forget how depleted Eagles Oline is. Young showed how much he still has to learn, an aging LT Peters won almost all battles against Young. Although I loved how Young tried to attack the ball while sacking Wentz. Other bonus - Wentz often evade sacks from us but not this game, all LBs and Dline were careful when approaching Wentz, I think that shows how well JDR and defense coaches trained the players to be disciplined.



- Our LBs cannot keep up with TEs, that is a concern when we play against teams with great TEs. Fortunately for us, there aren't that many teams with athletic TEs. JDR obviously made a nice adjustment for the second half to prevent the duo TEs from feasting on our defense.



- Our Oline is weak and couldn't open lanes for our RBs. I could see why the coaches really like Gibson, he tries to hit holes fast and hard but there isn't much Gibson and Barber could do if the Oline don't help out.



- It looks like we managed to solve our red zone issues, we also learned how to capitalize on the defense turnovers. Those 2 are the areas we have struggled in for years. Big kudos to the new coaches!

Point to be made is that Wentz/Ertz/Goeddert may be the best QB TE duo set in the NFL. That the defense found a way to adjust is a terrific sign of things to come, and add in a JDR LB from the draft and next year will be even better!

Not bad.

HTTR!

After his 3-12 start, he went 14-19 so that's a great sign

Yeah I don't think he had a bad game at all. After an awful start by the whole team he was pretty good while being pressured on most plays. The fact that he got the leadership to make a halftime speech after a mediocre first half is inspiring.

It was actually after the first two minutes, and I wasnt alone lol. I might have been the ring leader though. You should know you cant take game threads at face. I said ill eat crow, and honestly im still extremely worried about our offense and our secondary and middle linebackers. The d line which is clearly our strength was up against a completely decimated o line too. Ill up my 3 win season to 5.

The Oline worries me.

But I disagree on the secondary: Moreland and Moreau are really good IMO. Fuller should be back soon and we know what he's capable of. Darby looked a bit slow but every body looker bad early in the game. Collins looks like he's back to being him.
Only question mark is Apke. The guy is fast but that's about it, bad vision, bad angles...

I like our LBs squad. Bostic is a tough mofo, SDH has talent, I still don't get why KPL got the starting job over Holcomb but he wasn't awful either.
