Official Packers-Eagles Game Day Thread

[denverYooper]

Philly didn't have enough field to throw a bomb, so they had to settle for 3.

[George Cumby]

Seems like the D's quit.

[red]

i think we know what kind of team this is. its not the patriots from a few years ago when brady went down and they still won 11 games. this is the colts from a couple years ago when they went 2-14 when they lost peyton

we are not a team, we are a quarterback

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm done, all I can do is laugh at this point.

They're playing with a practice squad QB who doesn't know the plays. Reshuffled O-line. Laughter is best medicine.

[woodbuck27]

Philadelphia Eagles

1-10-GB 43(9:07) (Shotgun) L.McCoy up the middle to GB 25 for 18 yards (C.Banjo).

1-10-GB 25(8:42) (No Huddle, Shotgun) L.McCoy left guard to GB 22 for 3 yards (A.Hawk).

2-7-GB 22(8:23) (No Huddle, Shotgun) N.Foles pass short right to D.Jackson ran ob at GB 19 for 3 yards (S.Shields).

3-4-GB 19(8:09) (No Huddle, Shotgun) L.McCoy left end to GB 22 for -3 yards (A.Hawk).

4-7-GB 22(7:33) A.Henery 41 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-J.Dorenbos, Holder-D.Jones

Eagles 20 - Packers 3

[red]

i don't see us beating a horrible giants team next week either, and you can forget about the lions

[woodbuck27]

What's going on ..... around here?

[channtheman]

Don't you guys love how when our leader Rodgers goes down, not one guy, not ONE FUCKING GUY steps up and makes a play? Williams early on can intercept a pass and drops it resulting in an Eagle TD. Crosby decides today is the perfect day to miss field goals again. The defense gives up big plays. Ugh.

[Bossman641]

I'd agree if it was just Rodgers missing. A whole lot different when backups make up 30% of your starting lineup

[TravisWilliams23]

Special teams are playing up to their potential today!

[CaptainKickass]

Well...

I'll just be over her lying down while enjoying my Sucks Doughnut

[denverYooper]

Here's the start of the comeback.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Pathetic....just pathetic.

[red]

NICE FUCKING JOB OF BLOWING THE FUCKING PLAY DEAD SO OUR LAST QB DOESN"T GET KILLED

even the refs have given up

[woodbuck27]

i don't see us beating a horrible giants team next week either, and you can forget about the lions

The Giants have made a come back to go ahead of Oakland 21-20.

If they play us at home next week and winning three straight they'll be tough.

Minny doesn't look horrible and the Lions are leading the Bears on the road 14-10 early in the 4th quarter.

[red]

I'd agree if it was just Rodgers missing. A whole lot different when backups make up 30% of your starting lineup

the starters are all back

finley and cobb are the only 2 still missing

[Iron Mike]

NO PLAYOFFS for the Green Bay Packers according to the NFL.Com experts.

No love for the Green Bay Packers. They couldn't wait one more week to make such a declaration?

These are the NFL experts !?? To close the coffin on the Packers season today isn't sensible IMO.


Seems pretty reasonable at this point. :(

[red]

Horse hockey. If they were in the AFC East that year they could match that record.

[Rastak]

Good call.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'd agree if it was just Rodgers missing. A whole lot different when backups make up 30% of your starting lineup

Clay Matthews is just a guy playing one-armed

[red]

that could have and should have been a pick 6

[pbmax]

Hit on QB's head uncalled by captain roughing the passer.

[Rutnstrut]

How is it that this many players get hurt and never come back in a game? Do guys on this team EVER play hurt? It just doesn't make sense that these players are sooo fragile.

[pbmax]

TD Bostick. Nice read, route and throw

[denverYooper]

Here's the start of the comeback.

There's one.

[Tony Oday]

Nice! Missed personal foul for contact to the head though.

[red]

holy fuck, we got one of those things where we run the ball into that other thing at the end of the field

nice catch

[channtheman]

It would be nice if our shitty defense could get a turnover... for once.

[George Cumby]

holy fuck, we got one of those things where we run the ball into that other thing at the end of the field

nice catch

Goal?

[denverYooper]

TD Bostick. Nice read, route and throw

Finley, part deux.

[pbmax]

Crosby decides today is the perfect day to miss field goals again. The defense gives up big plays. Ugh.

Boykin, Jones, Nelson? how about Lang playing center with a concussion and doing shotgun snaps like he was born doing it?

[denverYooper]

It would be nice if our shitty defense could get a turnover... for once.

Seconded.

[Bossman641]

the starters are all back

finley and cobb are the only 2 still missing

Rodgers, Finley, Cobb, EDS. Fuck, you can even go back to Bulaga

[pbmax]

Finley, part deux.

Less celebration. Wonder if Fin is in town?

[George Cumby]

It would be nice if our shitty defense could get a turnover... for once.

It's a kinder, gentler defense that doesn't want to damage the other teams self esteem by doing something so competitive.

[woodbuck27]

OK their driving:

Green Bay Packers
0-0-PHI 35A.Henery kicks 63 yards from PHI 35 to GB 2. M.Hyde to GB 14 for 12 yards (J.Maehl).

1-10-GB 14(7:23) E.Lacy right end to GB 16 for 2 yards (C.Barwin; N.Goode).

2-8-GB 16(6:44) (Shotgun) E.Lacy left tackle to GB 18 for 2 yards (C.Geathers).

3-6-GB 18(6:11) (Shotgun) S.Tolzien sacked at GB 11 for -7 yards (C.Barwin). PENALTY on PHI-C.Barwin, Defensive Offside, 5 yards, enforced at GB 18 - No Play.

3-1-GB 23(5:47) S.Tolzien pass short right to R.Taylor to GB 25 for 2 yards (N.Allen). FUMBLES (N.Allen), and recovers at GB 27. R.Taylor to GB 27 for no gain (P.Chung).

1-10-GB 27(5:04) E.Lacy up the middle to GB 27 for no gain (B.Logan).

2-10-GB 27(4:26) S.Tolzien pass short right to J.Nelson pushed ob at GB 35 for 8 yards (C.Williams).

and finish the drive......
1-10-PHI 22(3:29) (Shotgun) S.Tolzien pass deep left to B.Bostick for 22 yards, TOUCHDOWN.


0-0-PHI 2M.Crosby extra point is GOOD, Center-B.Goode, Holder-T.Masthay.

Eagles 20 - Packers 10

[Rutnstrut]

It would be nice if our shitty defense could get a turnover... for once.

I'd be happy with three and outs and tackling.

[pbmax]

the starters are all back

finley and cobb are the only 2 still missing

Matthews hand in club. EDS is gone. Lost Seneca.

[red]

COME ON TRAMON

GRAB THE FUCKING BALL. i don't know if i've ever seen a player with such horrible ball awareness

[red]

Rodgers, Finley, Cobb, EDS. Fuck, you can even go back to Bulaga

finley has been gone awhile, EDS is our worse lineman, and we were winning just fine without Bulaga

[channtheman]

How is it possible that players are constantly lining up in the neutral zone? That should never happen, IMO.

[Bossman641]

Tramon leads the league in near INT's

[channtheman]

Yeah the defense should be tired, after all they've only had to play for about 13 minutes today. Useless.

[pbmax]

Burnett lost the WR who is killing them. nice job.

[woodbuck27]

Scott 'the Kid' Tolzien is now 21 for 32 for 246 yards with a TD and 2 Picks.

Their have been far worse debuts for NFL QB's. ;-)

[red]

Goal?

i wanted to say Jenga, but i knew that wasn't right

good coverage D, keep showing that fire that drives you guys to suckiness

[Infamous]

Why is that racist even on the Eagles squad????

[Bossman641]

finley has been gone awhile, EDS is our worse lineman, and we were winning just fine without Bulaga

I'd argue Barclay was the worst. And an EDS-Newhouse switch is a downgrade

[Rastak]

Why is that racist even on the Eagles squad????

Because all he does is catch touchdowns.

[pbmax]

Only Shields has been decent back there.

[woodbuck27]

COME ON TRAMON

GRAB THE FUCKING BALL. i don't know if i've ever seen a player with such horrible ball awareness

Too often a step or two away. He either plays too soft or too aggressive.

[pittstang5]

Thought I was done in here, but I had to come back to vent.

How the fuck do you let Riley Cooper of all people catch that.

I am so lost right now. This defense.....ugh, I'm gonna cry.

[red]

Yeah the defense should be tired, after all they've only had to play for about 13 minutes today. Useless.

lets be fair, they're all the way up to 14 minutes played

tough making all those million for a quarter hours worth of work

defense should all donate their paychecks to charities this week

[Rutnstrut]

This defense is horrible, but they have been all season. But hey MM and TT will stand behind their worthless D coordinator.

[woodbuck27]

Only Shields has been decent back there.

Again.....so it's this:

TD R.Cooper 32 yd. pass from N.Foles (A.Henery kick is good) Drive: 7 plays, 80 yards in 3:12

The Eagles go up seven more ... Eagles 27 - Packers 10

[Teamcheez1]

We just can't stop Megatron today.

[red]

Too often a step or two away. He either plays too soft or too aggressive.

he dove for the ball and the thing went right between his hands. he had is hands spread out
and the ball split the uprights

[red]

We just can't stop Megatron today.

white redneck Megatron

[channtheman]

Ouch. 2nd time those dirty fuckers hit our guy in the head. Finally saw this one.

[pbmax]

If the Packers had a defense, they would be in this.

Oh, look Newhouse gave up on a block.

[red]

wow, nice block newhouse

you can pick up your final check in the morning in the HR office

[red]

Fat mike looks constipated

[woodbuck27]

Green Bay Packers

0-0-PHI 35A.Henery kicks 63 yards from PHI 35 to GB 2. M.Hyde to GB 29 for 27 yards (C.Anderson).

1-10-GB 29(:05) (Shotgun) S.Tolzien left end ran ob at GB 48 for 19 yards (P.Chung).


END QUARTER 3

[Infamous]

Because all he does is catch touchdowns.

lol

[Bossman641]

Paging Derek Sherrod

[red]

If the Packers had a defense, they would be in this.

Oh, look Newhouse gave up on a block.

so if he even gets beat on the first step or off the snap, he just gives up now, right?

i mean that was pathetic. none of us would keep our job with that kind of effort at our jobs

[red]

REPLACE HIM

if sherrod can go at all you put him in right fucking now

[woodbuck27]

Green Bay Packers

END QUARTER 3

1-10-GB 48(15:00) S.Tolzien pass short right to J.Jones to PHI 43 for 9 yards (N.Allen).

2-1-PHI 43(14:24) (Shotgun) E.Lacy left end to PHI 40 for 3 yards (T.Cole).

1-10-PHI 40(13:48) (Shotgun) S.Tolzien pass incomplete deep left to J.Boykin.

2-10-PHI 40(13:42) (Shotgun) S.Tolzien pass incomplete deep middle to J.Nelson. PENALTY on PHI-N.Goode, Roughing the Passer, 15 yards, enforced at PHI 40 - No Play.

1-10-PHI 25(13:38) (Shotgun) S.Tolzien sacked at PHI 33 for -8 yards (V.Curry).

Timeout #1 by GB at 13:09.

[pbmax]

Finally a counter to that toss sweep.

[red]

nice play

[channtheman]

Sweet play. I'd be more excited if we weren't down 3 possessions.

[pbmax]

REPLACE HIM

if sherrod can go at all you put him in right fucking now

He's inactive. Probably not ready yet. But its getting closer.

[red]

i guess they made that call one time today, they don't have to make that same call the other 10 times

[CaptainKickass]

I think I'm gonna be ill.

[channtheman]

How was that not PI? Same thing as earlier on Nelson.

[pbmax]

Useless with the D being played now. Must have a turnover or two three and outs.

[channtheman]

Again, I would care more about not scoring a TD there if our defense wasn't going to immediately give up a TD.

[red]

He's inactive. Probably not ready yet. But its getting closer.

then make the change tomorrow.

i've seen no reason to giver newhouse any more reps for this team

[pbmax]

Barclay being examined.

[Bossman641]

oh look, an injury

[channtheman]

Only chance to win is for the defense to score a quick 7 for us. Har har har.

[denverYooper]

If the Packers had a defense, they would be in this.

Oh, look Newhouse gave up on a block.

Gotta wonder if they give Sherrod a shot soon if OL injuries continue.

[woodbuck27]

Green Bay Packers

2-18-PHI 33(13:09) (Shotgun) PENALTY on GB-M.Newhouse, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at PHI 33 - No Play.

2-23-PHI 38(13:09) (Shotgun) S.Tolzien pass short left to J.Boykin to PHI 17 for 21 yards (P.Chung).

3-2-PHI 17(12:28) (Shotgun) S.Tolzien pass incomplete short left to J.Jones.

4-2-PHI 17(12:24) M.Crosby 35 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-B.Goode, Holder-T.Masthay.

Eagles 27 - Packers 13

Scott 'the Kid' Tolzien is now 23 for 36 and 276 yards and 1 TD and 2 Picks.

GO Kid GO !

[red]

barclay down, now jolly

[denverYooper]

oh look, an injury

Jolly. He'll probably be back in in a few plays.

[Bossman641]

oh look, an injury

And another

[pbmax]

Nearly a turnover.

[channtheman]

Was that a fumble?

[channtheman]

Looks like he maintained possession. Don't waste a challenge and timeout on that one.

[red]

why rule the play dead? let it play out

that ball was out. refs just took 6 points off our board

[pbmax]

Wow. That was about simultaneous.

[pittstang5]

Pfftt...we never win challenges

[channtheman]

Well, I don't know. Looks like it might be from the last view.

[denverYooper]

Close, but M3 almost needs to try this challenge.

[Infamous]

YES!

[red]

Mike Carey is a faggot right?

[Bossman641]

Can you possess the ball with your knees?

[pbmax]

Going to be tough to overturn.

[red]

we won't win this, even if it does look like a fumble

[denverYooper]

Smart Football ‏@smartfootball 3m

Eagles are 0-3 converting red zone opportunities into touchdowns, but have TDs of 55, 45 and 32 yards out.

[Tony Oday]

No way they rule this in our favor. Pass interference is legal against the Pack. This is rigged.

[red]

Can you possess the ball with your knees?

i know you can catch a TD with another players body

[CaptainKickass]

Mike Carey is a faggot right?

He's certainly an asshole that's for sure.

[channtheman]

Yeah we aren't gonna win this.

[denverYooper]

Packerpedia ‏@Packerpedia 2m

Scott Tolzien's 276 yards passing is more than Seneca Wallace's career-high game (261).

[pbmax]

I seriously think it was simultaneous.

[CaptainKickass]

Also - there's no way the refs will ever give us anything like this.

[channtheman]

What. The. Fuck.

[woodbuck27]

The Lions on a Calvin Johnson TD pass from Matthew Stafford just went up on the Bears 22-13 with 2:22 left in the 4th quarter.

[Packers4Glory]

Is this a fucking preseason game?

[channtheman]

Site momentarily blew up from the Packers winning a challenge and getting a turnover. That's a TD. Challenge it.

[Infamous]

PHUCK!!

[pbmax]

That was a catch

[red]

did the packers sucking just kill the internet?

thats a TD

[woodbuck27]

Green Bay Packers

1-10-PHI 13(10:58) S.Tolzien pass short right to J.Kuhn to PHI 9 for 4 yards (D.Ryans).

2-6-PHI 9(10:22) (Shotgun) E.Lacy left end to PHI 7 for 2 yards (D.Ryans).

3-4-PHI 7(9:42) (Shotgun) S.Tolzien pass incomplete short right to J.Boykin (C.Barwin).

4-4-PHI 7 *** play under review ***

[pbmax]

That was cowardice in the face of a huge call. That was more clear than the fumble overturn.

[woodbuck27]

Scott 'the Kid' Tolzien has now officially passed for 280 yards.

There's doubt in my mind that Seneca Wallace would have done as well.

[red]

someone skin that mother fucker alive before he gets on his plane tonight

[Rastak]

That was cowardice in the face of a huge call. That was more clear than the fumble overturn.


I really disagree. The fumble was close but in this case he had the nose of the ball in his hand and the rest was on the ground between his leg.

[pbmax]

That first down was courtesy of Mike Daniels picking a gap and being wrong. Stop cheating Mike

[Teamcheez1]

Eagles will keep running it until we can stop it.

[pittstang5]

Jesus Christ, you know they are going to run and we still can't stop it.

[denverYooper]

Welp

[pbmax]

I really disagree. The fumble was close but in this case he had the nose of the ball in his hand and the rest was on the ground between his leg.

But he HAD control of it, the ball rolled with his body and hand. Not the ground. The ground did not move it. It can touch as long as you have control. Ball moved with Nelson not the ground. That HAS to be control.

[channtheman]

Would have been neat to score a TD and be down only 7 now. Oh well.

[channtheman]

LOL at this defense. We won't even get the ball back one more time.

[Teamcheez1]

Defense still sucks.

[denverYooper]

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pittstang5]

SMH....

Stay Classy Packers, Stay Classy

[woodbuck27]

Next up.

The NY GIANTS made a comeback and defeated the Oakland Raiders 24-20. That's 3 straight wins for them.

The Bears just missed a 2 Pt. conversion to tie it up and failed to make their onside kick.

Lions 21-Bears 19.

[Teamcheez1]

LOL at this defense. We won't even get the ball back one more time.

You're right about that.

[CaptainKickass]

Also -

I'm getting "database error" shit when I refresh the threads n'shit.

The forum must've pulled a hamstring. Blame the coaches and the conditioning staff.

[channtheman]

Next up.

The NY GIANTS made a comeback and defeated the Oakland Raiders 24-20. That's 3 straight wins for them.

And it'll be 4 straight after next week. This season took a shit turn. So fucking disappointing.

[Infamous]

LOL at this defense. We won't even get the ball back one more time.

They ran and passed on Pack

[Rutnstrut]

Gotta love the new liberal NFL, can't hit anyone, the definition of a catch changes weekly depending on who it benefits, let's not forget all the liberal whine asses that are offended by certain team names.

[Teamcheez1]

Nick Perry gets manhandled and thrown to the ground.

[Rastak]

But he HAD control of it, the ball rolled with his body and hand. Not the ground. The ground did not move it. It can touch as long as you have control. Ball moved with Nelson not the ground. That HAS to be control.


Ball was moving - we'll just have to disagree.

[denverYooper]

One arm Clay just got tossed.

[channtheman]

For the love of God, you fucking morons. Stop the God damn run!

[Infamous]

nice tackling

[red]

But he HAD control of it, the ball rolled with his body and hand. Not the ground. The ground did not move it. It can touch as long as you have control. Ball moved with Nelson not the ground. That HAS to be control.

i'm really finding it hard to watch the NFL these days. no one knows what a catch is anymore, defenders can't hit QB's in the waist without being called for illegal shot to the head

i think the nfl has peaked because i doubt i'm alone in my building lack of interest in the NFL

I've already stated in other threads that i can't even sit through games not involving the packers. i just can't take the game anymore

[Teamcheez1]

Nick Perry gets manhandled and thrown to the ground.

And of course, now he's hurt.

[red]

whoops, looks like maybe nick perry wasn't fully healed

who had "perry wouldn't last 1 full game" in the injury pool?

[pbmax]

They ran and passed on Pack

First half looked good except for one big play. Its gone to heck since.

[Bossman641]

Ball was moving - we'll just have to disagree.

I agree with you Rastak. If his hand had been cupping the ball a little bit it would have been a catch. I was hoping that since the ball didn't move at all though they'd call TD

[CaptainKickass]

i'm really finding it hard to watch the NFL these days. no one knows what a catch is anymore, defenders can't hit QB's in the waist without being called for illegal shot to the head

You already know that the straw that broke The Captain's back was the replacement refs and the fail mary game.

Fuck the NFL. I'll stream the Pack because they actually pre-date the NFL, but I ain't giving the NFL another dime of my $ if I can help it.

[denverYooper]

Time to go angrily rake the yard.

[channtheman]

2 games in a row, this defense gets utterly shit on. And these 9 minute drives to end the game by the opposing team, I'd be embarrassed if I was a member of this defensive squad. Holy shit are they bad.

[pbmax]

Why are they still in nickel?

[Infamous]

wow time of possession disparity

[red]

Also -

I'm getting "database error" shit when I refresh the threads n'shit.

The forum must've pulled a hamstring. Blame the coaches and the conditioning staff.

i'm getting it too, i think we broke the internet

its not use to this many obscenities

it might be better if we post hardcore fucking pictures instead of swears from here on out. we know it can handle that

[pittstang5]

For the love of God, you fucking morons. Stop the God damn run!

Give up man...I did. Defense gave up start of the 3rd quarter. Offense - well we know that story. Special Teams - Specifically Crosby choked.

[Fosco33]

Since they overturned the fumble. That was a td. Screwed us big time. Refs should know better the calling close plays where coach has to review. Let booth do it. Twice.

One if the most frustrating games I've seen. So many missed pts. Like 20+.

[Teamcheez1]

We still have a real chance of finishing .500 or worse this year.

[CaptainKickass]

Give up man...I did. Defense gave up start of the 3rd quarter. Offense - well we know that story. Special Teams - Specifically Crosby choked.

And don't forget those retarded rude & rascally referees!

[Fosco33]

i know you can catch a TD with another players body

Ha. Nice. You can also get awarded tds when the other team has an int. only the pack and badgers can get so badly screwed so often.

[Badgerinmaine]

Exasperating defensive performance. Way too many deep pl
ays and no heart at all on the last drive. So frustrated. Fortunately almost every game left is with a bad team or one we need to beat.

[denverYooper]

There's too much NFL these days, that's for sure. The constant soap opera narratives, the extra night of games, the wall-to-wall analysis cycle. It's too much, that's for sure, but I will still watch Packers games.

[channtheman]

The only "winnable" games are Minnesota and Atlanta at home. We'll have at least 6 losses by the time Rodgers is back. No Playoffs this year. Oh well. Do other teams have as many injuries as we do? We've had tons of injuries for about 5 years in a row now. Why is that?

[pbmax]

Datones Jones has lined up offsides three plays in a row. If not for victory formation, it would have been called.

[red]

i think the season is over

i don't see many more wins coming this season

[pbmax]

rpc's (rpm's?) Studs and Duds is going to be ugly.

[Teamcheez1]

I see no reason to rush Rodgers back unless he is fully healed. If we have 6 or 7 losses we are about done.

[channtheman]

Datones Jones has lined up offsides three plays in a row. If not for victory formation, it would have been called.

I see players line up offsides all the time. The refs are very sporadic when they call it.

[denverYooper]

Exasperating defensive performance. Way too many deep pl
ays and no heart at all on the last drive. So frustrated. Fortunately almost every game left is with a bad team or one we need to beat.

Yeah, boy. I don't know what to think about the defense any more. It sure looks like Rodgers + the new run game and a bit more ball control was masking a lot of issues on the defensive side of the ball.

The DBs have been a huge disappointment, Charlie Peprah might as well have been back there today. But I really don't know if it is them or a lack of pressure.

[TravisWilliams23]

The play Foles ran for a 1st down, wasn't that the option this D was SUPPOSED to have figured out? Someone's supposed to hammer that sumbitch if he decided to run with it. This is bad, really bad.

[pittstang5]

Credit to Chip Kelly - he could have ran the score up, especially during that last possession. He just ran the ball, milking the clock. I knew what they were going to do, Packer D Had to have known, but couldn't do shit.

[Teamcheez1]

We knew the offense would struggle without Rodgers, but the defense has gone straight to hell.

Big plays, poor tackling, and no turnovers. They are about back to the level they were at last year.

[channtheman]

I see no reason to rush Rodgers back unless he is fully healed. If we have 6 or 7 losses we are about done.

I agree. The defense has already packed this season in, and the offense left way too many points on the field today. James Jones as good as he is, has shit awareness when it comes to his feet and the sideline. There have been at least 2 non-TD's that would have been TD's this year if he would just slam his fucking foot down and realize this is the NFL and not college.

[red]

I see players line up offsides all the time. The refs are very sporadic when they call it.

i have always thought that too, but i saw somewhere over the last week that the LOS is actually the centers waist, not his head or shoulders like i always thought

[pbmax]

The play Foles ran for a 1st down, wasn't that the option this D was SUPPOSED to have figured out? Someone's supposed to hammer that sumbitch if he decided to run with it. This is bad, really bad.

Yes, but not really. Foles isn't going to run that during a competitive game. Its was more bootleg kinda play than legit QB run like Kap. They knew everyone was going to follow McCoy.

[pittstang5]

Bright side, if there is one, they keep losing, the coaching staff might actually be evaluated at the end of the year and Capers could be the whipping boy.

This team needs an aggressive D. Coordinator.

[woodbuck27]

Nick Foles managed his teams game very well.

He was 12 for 18 and 228 yards and 3 TD's. That gives him 16 TD's this season in limited duty. I believe he will remain the Eagles NO. 1 QB.

Our new guy Scott 'the Kid' Tolzien.

Nice work young man. You simply need a team effort to support you. The Green Bay Packers are in serious bad shape.

Is it time to re-think the blue print? Time to hit the panic button?

It just is what it is. A team with needs.

[beveaux1]

Very disappointed. This team had a lot of promise with a much improved running game and so many weapons. I honestly thought this was a super bowl worthy team. With a backup quaerterback, it falls on the defense to take up the slack. They've completely lost the ability to rush the passer and stop the run. This loss falls on the defense. I can't see them winning a game without Rodgers and with this defense

Agree, but part of that is on the QB too, i.e. ball placement. I liked Tolzien's aggressiveness, but some of his throws were not where the receiver is used to. But that's the nature of playing a 3rd string QB. Collectively, O-line, WRs and the QB sucked today. Not much you can do about it.

The Giants, Vikings and Steelers are all improving and that leaves the Falcons as the 'only' easier touch left.

Nice mention of Tolzien. I thought he was a bright spot, if there was any, despite the 2 INTs. He made some nice throws and kept his confidence up in his arm. It looks as though he might be the capable backup we're looking for. I feel like he has the tools to succeed in M3's QB room.

It's not time to panic yet, but the defense is starting to worry me.

I

[Teamcheez1]

No panic. Reality has finally set in.

[pittstang5]

Where is Wist to tell us that he told us? He did. He did tell us and he was correct.

See now, is it Capers scheme, position coaches or the players themselves that are to blame for defenders constantly out of position. Piss poor tackling is also to blame. Oh and pad level too.

[woodbuck27]

Credit to Chip Kelly - he could have ran the score up, especially during that last possession. He just ran the ball, milking the clock. I knew what they were going to do, Packer D Had to have known, but couldn't do shit.

Classy move by Chip Kelly.

[denverYooper]

I don't know. The D looked bad on the 3 long TD plays and that last drive -- including the second week in a row where they could have tackled a guy well short of the first down. But if Tolzien doesn't throw the INT in the endzone and/or Jordy makes that catch on 4th down, this thing looks different.

[mmmdk]

Offense showed Heart.

Crosby showed the World...sh!t.

Defense was terrible.

[Freak Out]

If's and could haves don't amount to anything.

[Carolina_Packer]

I know coaches like to say injuries are no excuse, next man up and all that, but at some point the adversity becomes a bit too much to overcome to provide a realistic chance to compete and win. In the recent Super Bowl year, they had guys go down for the year and replaced them on the roster. This year has some of that, but also a lot of guys with nagging injuries who may be out for a few weeks, but not enough to IR them. They still have to hold their roster spot, which temporarily hurts their depth and production. Frustrating season for sure.

As for the defense, they are not getting a lot of pressure on the QB. Mostly, both McCown and Foles looked like they had too much time and not enough disruption to their drop backs. That would certainly help the DB's. It would be nice to see Datone break out and show why he was drafted in the first round.

[MJZiggy]

Good god, men. Last week at this time our quarterback was on the freaking practice squad. He came into the game without a SINGLE rep with the first team offense and still threw for 280 yards. Were it not for some truly pathetic officiating, he had a shot to win this thing. That was a catch. Those were shots to the head, and that was absolutely, positively, pass interference. And we did that without our starting center. Our best pass rusher has a club on his hand and we still managed a few sacks. Hawk has actually been playing well. Yeah, the secondary needs to step it up some. All that said, fire Slocum and for the first time I'll say he can take Crosby with him.

280 yards is not that impressive on 39 attempts. and 280 yards doesn't mean anything when you only score one TD. and he should have thrown 4 or 5 ints, not just 2. a couple passes were just absolutely horrible that hit wide open defenders right in their chests and they somehow pulled tramons

he played like a guy that should be on the practice squad

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

I don't believe MM knows what is wrong and is just saying shit to buy time....

I get what your saying, the odds were stacked against us, especially more so once Wallace went down. It's just been two brutal games, games that should have been won if we have Rodgers.

But, the secondary has needed to step up since the 2nd half of the Vikings game. That's now 10 quarters by my count. Riley Cooper - c'mon, Riley F'n Cooper had two TDs. Riley Cooper probably doesn't make that Eagles team if Maclin doesn't get hurt in training camp. Our secondary is better than that.

Yes, I just saw the game recap and I take back any qualifiers about the D. Nice sacks, but the rest sucked.

And Red, for a kid that was running plays he hadn't even practiced yet, that was an incredible job. Don't disqualify it because if he were on any other team, you'd have expected him to get slaughtered trying to get the ball off.

[red]

lets not glaze over the fact that this was the fucking eagles

that wasn't calvin johnson making us look like a bunch of assholes out there, that was riley "the grand wizard" cooper lighting us up

this wasn't the seahawks or 49ers defenses that held us to 1 td and 13 total points. IT WAS THE 31st RANKED defense in the NFL.

31st. as in second to last. and that includes playing the giants twice already. it was the fewest amount of points given up by the second worst defense in the NFL

i think that sums it up

a fat guy pulled out of the stands and forced to stand at midfield should have been able to shit out a decent offensive day

aggg

this is a game that we should have been able to win with both arms, a leg, and our balls tied behind our back, thats how bad todays loss is IMO

[red]

heres the eagles wins this year

redskins- a horrible team that is 3-6
Giants- a horrible team that is 3-6
Tampa Bay- one of the worst teams god has ever put on this earth 0-8
Oakland- a horrible team at 3-6

the packers- ?

I don't know, it could just be venting because they've looked pretty bad since Rodgers went down. But between M3 and Hawk I really wonder if they know about something specific? The organization in general, and those 2 guys in particular, have played things very close to the vest in PCs, so I'm curious to see if there's a fire behind that smoke.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

but if they really know something specific, why wait until now to 'fix it'?

[pbmax]

he played like a guy that should be on the practice squad

No way. He played better than some starting QBs. You think Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker or Terrel Pryor have anything on his performance today?

Nope. It wasn't enough to win because the defense couldn't help him with his mistakes (well, they did help once with Williams strip sack).

The only time he looked vaguely practice squad-ish was in the red zone and he got one TD there.

[pbmax]

Its either pass rush, safeties or tackling. Since M3 doesn't go after his own roster construction, I am betting tackling.

Or could be that nickel the Eagles were running on late. I don't know, nothing is a perfect fit except the safeties.

But given the way McCarthy deals with his coaches and lets the position coaches alot playing time (Trgo and Green decide when to sub backups in for instance, I bet Van Pelt makes the calls for the RBs) he might be talking about who starts in what packages. Benching players who are not performing has a precedent with M3.

So if not tackling, I am going with changing the starters (base or bus).

he trows the ball hard, that all he brings too the table. he made a lot of stupid decisions and was not all that accurate

his one TD the guy was open by about 10-15 yards and he still almost blew that throw

2-4 with one being a 53 yarder that hit the upright and the other missing by a few inches isn't terrible

eagles guy missed one just wide right too

that south endzone could really be screwing with things more then we can tell on tv

its like all 3 of the kicks were kicked dead straight and expected to turn in, but they all stayed straight and missed to the right by inches

[red]

Could Stubby be talking about Crosby?

i find it hard to believe that crosby is the answer to our problems. a lot of other guys on this team had much worse games

and besides, if crosby hits his 2 missed FG's we still lose by 8 points

[digitaldean]

Could Stubby be talking about Crosby?
I would take it meaning that he's sick of the secondary play or the defense as a whole. Besides MM rated the ST play as solid.

[denverYooper]

i think one change should be newhouse being released in the morning

I thought that might be the immediate change M3 was talking about but I can't see them releasing Newhouse with all of the injuries to the OL. He might have made up his mind to give Sherrod a shot and move Newhouse down the depth chart.

I still think the shakeup will be on D. But it could just be a relatively minor thing like cutting a marginal starter.

[Rutnstrut]

It would fit his description, but does 6 points make enough difference? And to this point, Crosby hasn't been on the Dud list this year. So timeline is off; sounds like M3 was talking about this year to me, but I suppose it doesn't foreclose the possibility.

[Packers4Glory]

MM was brilliant going for a 50+ yarder instead of playing for field position. Great call.

The new addition has caused lots of weird wind issues at Lambeau. The American flag on top of the stadum was blowing hard with the wind from the South and West. The goal post flags on the North end were blowing straight to the East and the goal post flags on the South end were limp. The wind really swirls inside the stadium now.

thats exactly what i needed to know

hey TD, do you remember which way all the missed FG's were going? i know the one that hit the upright was going towards the south endzone. were the other two going that way too?
