First topic message reminder :

Well played San Diego

That was a fine performance

Made Seattle look ordinary

by Number-25 Sun 21 Sep 2014, 21:24

37-34 now

Has to be said... this has been some game.

by GSC Sun 21 Sep 2014, 21:24

You should win this given the state of our OL

by Number-25 Sun 21 Sep 2014, 21:36

Garçon wide open on 4th down.... Cousins misses him. Oh dear Kirk.

You're O-Line is wafer thin now GSC. McCoy's stats today have been incredible - last I saw he had 23 yards on 16 carries... how un-McCoy is that??

by GSC Sun 21 Sep 2014, 21:37

Glad we won that after that dirty hit

by GSC Sun 21 Sep 2014, 21:40

DeSean got his TD so he's happy at least

Legit performance from Foles with a swiss cheese OL

by mikeygnfl Sun 21 Sep 2014, 21:44

Eagles away to the 49ers next week. The Bengals are looking good this season so far. Can they win in the playoffs? Good wins too for the Lions vs Packers and the Chargers in Buffalo. Houston come crashing back down to earth against the Giants. Bortles is to start next week

Yeah, cos the Eagles are a bunch of cute little choir boys.

Credit to Foles, he took a lot of punishment today but kept coming back.

Redskins had that one in their hands all game though and let it slip away. Cousins played pretty well but bottled it at the end with the INT and the Garcon miss.

We were 3-13 last season though so I'm happy enough.

by GSC Sun 21 Sep 2014, 21:57

49ers front will eat our OL alive if Kelces out

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 21 Sep 2014, 22:35

Demaryious Thomas really doesn't like the physical stuff does he, looks very apprehensive...

by GSC Sun 21 Sep 2014, 23:08

Seattle is built to play finesse, timing passing offenses. Gotta be able to run the ball

by GSC Sun 21 Sep 2014, 23:22

Down 2 scores, Denver punts it away on 4th and 1 at midfield.

Might as well go to bed, John Fox ball is in full motion

by GSC Sun 21 Sep 2014, 23:33

49ers in a tough spot in the 4th.

1-2 and a division loss behind Seattle with Philly coming to SF next week is not a great situation.

by mikeygnfl Sun 21 Sep 2014, 23:39

Safety in the Chiefs vs Dolphins game. Puts the Dolphins only six points behind instead of eight. Not sure what is happening with the 49ers? They were looking ok at 14-6 just as they were when beating the Bears early last week. The Cardinals away is not going to be an easy game for any team this year though.

by mikeygnfl Sun 21 Sep 2014, 23:44

Cardinals fumble in the redzone, 49ers recover.

by mikeygnfl Sun 21 Sep 2014, 23:58

That should be it for the Cardinals unless they fumble again or miss the field goal. the Dolphins can't get a 1st down from 2 and 1 Doh

Not happy - Hall say's he's torn his Achilles. That's likely his season done. With Porter still hurting, we have no CB depth. We could be calling Champ Bailey this week!

O looked good, but ST's are killing us and D can't stop the pass again. Crying or Very sad

And if I were an Eagles fan I'd be careful about crying over dirty hits. You want a cheap shot, how about hitting D Jax deliberately in the shoulder when he's already down. Trash talk or not, that's trying to injure a fellow pro and those come back to haunt you in this league. Baker is an idiot though. There was no point in hitting Foles like that, as it cost us a man off the field and will cost him in his wallet next week. Probably be suspended next week too. Rolling Eyes

No idea how OPI hasn't been called on Denver this drive, its blatant!!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 22 Sep 2014, 00:22

THE PEYTON CHOKE

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 22 Sep 2014, 00:24

My god that was a horrific decision Welker was triple covered

by Number-25 Mon 22 Sep 2014, 00:28

I'm happy enough skins4ever cos at least we look better than last season. Special teams are still killing us though and the injuries are mounting. Losing Hall is big but even more than that, Hatcher going off with a hammy would be the biggest blow of all for us if he has to miss any time cos he has made a big difference.

Disappointed not to win but at least we can see some progress.

Massive game against the Giants on Thursday.

by mikeygnfl Mon 22 Sep 2014, 00:35

Some how the Broncos are still in this game. They need eight points in 59 seconds.

by mikeygnfl Mon 22 Sep 2014, 00:38

They're at the Seahawks 38 yard line with 31 seconds to go.

by mikeygnfl Mon 22 Sep 2014, 00:39

Touchdown Broncos. Can they get the two point conversion?

by mikeygnfl Mon 22 Sep 2014, 00:40

20-20. Overtime between the Seahawks and Broncos.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 22 Sep 2014, 00:41

Appears Seattle forgot how to play defence

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 22 Sep 2014, 00:43

They ran the same play three times and got burned every time

That's redskins level of awfulness in the secondary

Yes its improvement, but I expected a little more ball control on O (400+ passing yards is not controlling the clock), to relieve the D, and better ST play as we cut guys that might have been luxuries because we were supposedly getting good ST play in preseason from the new guys. Looks like they forgot how to tackle and block after week 1! Hatcher might just be a bust as he can't get fit. Sad

We still have a good chance against the Giants, but we must control the clock better than this. At least we know DJax is the real deal! Smile

by sodhat Mon 22 Sep 2014, 10:06

Cary Williams shouldn't be allowed to talk. He's "man enough" to say he's got a problem with the practices...to the media.

I'm guessing he's not been knocking on Chip's door to tell him in person though.

by GSC Mon 22 Sep 2014, 11:21

Big game next week in SF.

Big message if the Eagles can knock off the 49ers on the road with a backup OL, whereas the 49ers are approaching must win territory.

by Forward Pass Mon 22 Sep 2014, 12:49

considering I had written this season off after our terrible pre season
Cowboys are 2-1 and running the football well
with a run of 5 out of 7 at home to come
We could go into our week 11 bye with a winning record !!
[or looking for a new head coach]

Carolina's front seven laid an egg and a half last night eh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 22 Sep 2014, 13:27

Also Dennis pitta is done. Same hip as before

Out for the season with a torn ACL.

by skins4ever Mon 22 Sep 2014, 21:01

I can see the funny side but that looked freaky and painful. Shocked

Ravens owner giving a presser now

Not exactly doing great

by GSC Tue 23 Sep 2014, 07:31

Jets probably should've won that game. Wonder if Rex is thinking Vick yet

by GSC Tue 23 Sep 2014, 07:34

Also the refs whistling a play dead rule is stupid.

by NYJ Tue 23 Sep 2014, 10:53

GSC wrote:Jets probably should've won that game. Wonder if Rex is thinking Vick yet

No way.

We really missed Decker last night. Offense was good until we got to the 20 yard line. Needed to look end zone when we got to the 30 but the receivers just couldn't get open down field. Geno started forcing throws because of this and was intercepted in key situations.

by crazy_dave23 Tue 23 Sep 2014, 20:29

James Harrison is back... just waiting for Joey Porter to slide back into the LB rotation...

by skins4ever Tue 23 Sep 2014, 20:54

GSC wrote:Also the refs whistling a play dead rule is stupid.

No the rule isn't stupid, the umpire who blew the whistle is. They are supposed to let those plays flow in case they got it wrong. Taking the whistle out of plays is dangerous, regardless of whether it's a mistake, inadvertent etc.

Must admit, though, anything that puts that pained expression on Rex's face is fine by me. Very Happy

Now then, how much will we get in a trade for RGIII Whistle

(FYI that's sarcasm at all the bandwagoneers just 3 weeks into the season)

Morris Claiborne leaves the Cowboys facility after being benched.

Looking like a mega bust.

Things are not looking good when your benched for Scandrick
Can't see where he goes from here though
no one will trade for him
Either comes back to practice today or he's done .

Turns out it wasn't a dirty play after all and that the Eagles are just cry babies....

We should probably thank Baker.

His cheap shot peed off the team. In any case, we got the win, Foles got up, moved on now.

Take a look at this NFL Census if you can. Interesting stuff.

by GSC Wed 24 Sep 2014, 16:15

As we all saw it going, the Saints, Packers, Seahawks and 49ers are a combined 5-7, while the Eagles, Cardinals, Lions and Falcons are 10-2

by mikeygnfl Wed 24 Sep 2014, 21:32

The Eagles are 10-1 in their last 11 regular season games since Nick Foles came in against the Raiders last season.

Mohamed Sanu has 4 completions from 4 attempts for 166 yards and 2 TDs now in the NFL.

Is anyone else going to the Dolphins vs Raiders game this Sunday? Apparently there are a few limited seats still available at £49 and £69 I think from returns.
